Chapter 4171: Mistake on Mistake
The shifting of the cabinet, the candies falling under the bed, the lid of the sugar jar that seemed to be loose...

Women and children come out.

She got up.

She held the candy she found under the bed in one hand and the candy jar in the other.

She walked towards the door.

……

As she walked out of the room, the woman heard the loud sound of the TV.

She couldn't help but frown.

She walked over to the coffee table and picked up the remote control.

She turned the volume down very low.

……

"mom-"

When the little girl saw the candy jar in her mother's arms, her heart skipped a beat.

After a pause, she continued, "Mom?"

The little girl tried hard to suppress her panic.

Will not……

She put everything back together.

She checked them all carefully.

Mom won't find out.

but……

Then why is the mother holding the sugar jar?

Mom didn't even change her clothes.

The little girl began to feel uneasy.

……

"Nannah."

The woman held out a fist.

Open your palms.

Revealing a candy inside.

The glass candy wrapper is shining brightly.

The sparkle that the little girl liked before now seems a little dazzling to her.

……

The little girl looked confused.

Does she really not know what her mother means?
Is it...

The little girl felt relieved at first, and then happy.

Is mom going to give this candy to her?
Because she finished her homework before her mother came back?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the little girl with a grin.

She reached out to take the candy from her mother's hand -
The next second, she froze.

Because mom pulled her hand back.

"……Mother?"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at her mother.

Isn't this candy for her?
……

The woman soon realized that the child had misunderstood her meaning.

She raised her eyebrows slightly.

“This isn’t candy for you.”

"Didn't you just eat candy yesterday?"

……

When her mother said this, the little girl blinked and then she understood.

Yes, yes.

She ate candy yesterday.

There are still three rare ones.

Because last week mom and dad promised to take her out to play this weekend.

She had been looking forward to it for a week.

As a result, Dad has to work overtime.

Mom also has to go to the hospital to visit a sick friend.

She could only stay at home to do the extra homework assigned by her parents.

To make it up to her, Mom and Dad cooked her a big meal.

Her mother also gave her three candies.

So even though she knew she couldn't go out and play the next day, she was still very happy.

Moreover, mom and dad also promised to take her out to play next time.

……

"I remembered?"

The woman reached out and gently poked the child's forehead.

"You forget what you've eaten."

……

The little girl laughed.

She reached out and touched her forehead.

Somewhat aggrieved.

Why remember it after you’ve finished eating?
……

"Nannah."

The woman looked at the child.

"Do you know where Mom found this candy?"

……

The little girl was confused by the question.

She subconsciously glanced at the sugar jar in her mother's arms.

Candies...aren’t all those put in the candy jar by mom?

……

"Yes."

The woman nodded slightly.

"Normally, candy should be in the candy jar."

"But this candy..."

The woman paused, then continued, "I found it under the bed in my mother's room."

……

The little girl was startled.

The bed, under the bed...

Wow~
The sound of candies scattered on the ground and the slight friction between the candy wrappers and the carpet echoed in the little girl's ears...

The little girl unconsciously hugged the pillow in her arms.

how come……

The little girl dropped her eyes.

Hide the panic in your eyes.

She picked up all the candies that fell on the ground.

She checked several times...

There shouldn't be any omissions.

How did Mom find a candy under the bed?
…”Mom, did you drop the candy?”

The little girl didn't dare look at the woman.

Half of her face was buried in the pillow, and her voice was a little unclear.

That is.

Finding candy under the bed doesn't mean anything.

Maybe it was dropped by my mother before?

Thinking of this, the little girl's restlessly beating heart eased a little.

……

"is it?"

The woman seemed to be smiling.

"Then why is the cabinet next to mom's bed crooked?"

"The cupboard with the sugar bowl."

"and……"

The woman raised the candy jar in her arms.

She reached out and twisted the lid of the sugar bowl.

"The lid of the sugar bowl is loose, too."

She exerted a little force and the lid opened easily.

You know, the lid of this sugar jar fits very tightly.

She always screws the lid tightly.

Several times, she tried very hard but still failed to open the lid of the sugar jar.

The child's father also needs help.

She did this to prevent the candies inside from getting damp.

Therefore, the woman had doubts about her own guess.

Logically speaking, the child is not strong enough to open the lid of the sugar jar.

she does not know……

The little girl had no difficulty at all.

When the sugar jar fell, the lid knocked off by itself.

Sometimes, luck is hard to explain.

……

However, various signs clearly indicate that...

"Someone has touched this sugar bowl."

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the findings in the house.

……

"Nannan is the only one at home."

Who moved the sugar jar...

Just make sure that the sugar jar was indeed moved.

Well, the answer is pretty obvious.

……

"Nannah."

The woman's face darkened.

"Did you go to Mom and Dad's room and get some candy from the candy bowl?"

The woman put the candy she found under the bed back into the candy jar.

……

The little girl almost wanted to shrink herself behind the pillow.

She didn't say anything.

Found...

The little girl was panicked.

Also very scared.

……

"Nah!"

The woman raised her voice slightly.

"answer me."

……

"No."

the little girl blurted out.

"I do not have……"

Steal candy.

In the end, the little girl was too embarrassed to say the following words.

……

"Nannah."

The woman looked serious.

"Look up at me."

"look up."

The woman said solemnly.

……

Even though the little girl was unwilling, she did not dare to go against her mother's wishes.

She slowly raised her head.

The moment her eyes met her mother's, she immediately looked away.

……

"Nannah."

The woman frowned.

"Look at Mom."

"Look me in the eye and tell me again that you did not steal the candy from my room."

"Mom believes in you."

……

"I……"

The little girl was very touched by what her mother said.

She slowly turned her gaze back.

Her five fingers dug deeply into the pillow.

She forced herself to look her mother in the eyes.

"I don't-"

……

"Nannah."

The woman interrupted the child.

"You are responsible for your words."

"Don't lie."

"It's wrong to lie."

"You know, stealing candy... plus lying is double the fault."

The woman emphasized the last four words.
