Chapter 1416 Theft and Dispute

However, the familiar voice made Xiao Xiao stop.

He looked inside through a gap in the crowd of onlookers.

Then he saw a familiar face.

Zhou Mingbao.

Grandpa Zhou had brought Zhou Mingbao to Xiao's Teahouse several times, so Xiao Xiao naturally knew it.

What's more, the parents of both sides introduced the two children to each other.

However, Zhou Mingbao at this moment was not quite the same as he remembered.

The few times we met, Zhou Mingbao always smiled happily and looked bright.

The adults around him also like to play with Zhou Mingbao.

But now, Zhou Mingbao in his eyes was crying.

……

Zhou Mingbao rubbed his face with his hands randomly, perhaps with too much force, leaving red marks on the child's delicate skin.

"No... I don't know..."

"He made me do it."

He pointed at another child.

……

There were five children in the field, including Zhou Mingbao.

From the conversations among the adults around him, Xiao Xiao roughly knew what had happened.

This is a stationery store.

Zhou Mingbao and his kids were discovered by the store owner stealing things from the store.

Now the shop owner is watching the kids and won't let them leave.

He has already got back the stolen stationery and is now asking for the contact information of several children's parents so that he can inform their parents about the children's theft.

……

Naturally, the children were unhappy.

If you ask what children are most afraid of, it is naturally asking their parents for help.

After the shop owner said this, the children panicked.

Then Zhou Mingbao burst into tears and pointed out the "culprit".

……

"I have no idea……"

"I'm sorry...uncle..."

Zhou Mingbao frowned and cried pitifully, looking confused and innocent.

"No...not me!"

The child being pointed at opened his eyes wide, with a look of shock on his face, "It was you who asked us to come...you said you thought it was fun...and you said we should compete to see who can get the most expensive item..."

"It's obviously you..."

"Wow~"

Zhou Mingbao just cried and did not refute the child.

Perhaps infected, the other three children also started crying.

……

The store manager rubbed his forehead with a headache.

He also has to run a business and doesn't have time to waste with a bunch of kids.

"All right."

He pointed at Zhou Mingbao and the other kids and said, "You guys go back and notify the child's parents."

He grabbed the arm of the kid Zhou Mingbao had pointed at just now and said, "Tell him to come over and pick them up."

"Wow~"

The child who was being held also cried out loudly and struggled desperately, "It's not me!"

"Let me go! Let me go..."

……

"Father, forget it."

At this time, a woman walked up to the man and said, "Anyway, the store didn't suffer any loss."

"I don't think these kids will dare to do this again next time."

"Let them all leave."

……

"...That's fine."

The store manager released his grip on the child's arm and said, "You all can go now."

"Don't do this again next time, got it?"

"Otherwise, next time not only will we have to call the parents, but the uncle will also call the police."

The store manager frightened some kids.

Seeing the children nodding nervously, the store manager waved his hand in satisfaction and said, "Okay, go home."

"It's getting late."

……

The children ran away immediately as if they had been pardoned.

The schoolbag hit my back, making a "bang bang bang" sound.

Seeing this, the onlookers also dispersed.

Xiao Xiao continued walking towards home. Unexpectedly, he met Zhou Mingbao again.

Those kids standing under the tree, the atmosphere doesn't seem very good?

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but slow down his pace.

"Why do you say I told you to steal from the store?"

The little boy in the baseball cap glared at Zhou Mingbao, looking angry, "It was you who asked us to go!"

"Is it me?"

Zhou Mingbao looked puzzled, "Didn't everyone come up with this idea together?"

"Then why did you say that about me?"

When the little boy asked this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

This idiot.

It's so easy to be led astray.

"what?"

Zhou Mingbao looked at the other children hesitantly.

A fat little boy immediately shouted, "Hey, what do you mean?"

"It's obviously your fault, don't put it on us!"

"that is!"

"You said you were going!"

The remaining two little boys immediately spoke up to prove their innocence.

"you."

The little boy in the baseball cap was so angry that he jumped up and down, "It's not me!"

"then-"

"All right."

Zhou Mingbao interrupted the little boy in the baseball cap and said, "Nothing happened in the end anyway."

"Let's forget about it."

"We shouldn't look into whose fault it is."

".Um."

The fat little boy looked at the other two boys and nodded.

Children have short memories.

The situation was critical just now and they were very scared.

If the parents are really called
Thinking about the dark faces of the parents who would come over then, they couldn't help but tremble all over.

Now that they had left the scene and run around, their mood had almost recovered.

However, the little boy in the baseball cap couldn't accept Zhou Mingbao's words so easily.

If it weren’t for that aunt, his parents would have been called over.

Moreover, he would be the only unlucky guy whose parents would be called.

At that time, the uncle was holding his arm and he struggled desperately, but to no avail. He had never been so scared before.

Especially his friends, one of them slandered him, while the rest were indifferent to his call for help.

He suddenly thought of an idiom he had seen in a book -
Isolated.

".It sounds nice."

The little boy in the baseball cap had an ugly expression and fierce eyes, "Zhou Mingbao, you are obviously the culprit!"

He shouted loudly, "And you, why didn't you tell the truth at that time?!"

The other children were frightened by the outburst of the little boy in the baseball cap.

He was unable to react for a moment and looked at the little boy in the baseball cap with a frightened look.

"I hate you!"

"From now on, I will never play with you guys again!"

The little boy in the peaked cap turned and left.

The remaining children looked at each other.

Their faces don't look very good.

".Really? Why are you so fierce?"

The chubby little boy muttered, "It's nothing."

"Yeah, I hope everyone is okay."

"Why are you so fussy about it?"

"mean."

Several children started to complain about the boy in the baseball cap who left.

"never mind."

Zhou Mingbao smiled and said, "If he doesn't want to play with us, then he won't play with us."

"We don't need him any more."

"Ah."

"There are so many of us."

"He is the one who is left alone."

The children quickly put aside their awkward feelings and smiled again.
