I attended junior high school in a school in the town. It took about half an hour from the village to the town for school.

My parents thought dormitory accommodation was too expensive, and the distance wasn't far, so they had me commute. I would go home every day after classes.

It was one evening in the first semester of the third year of junior high.

After dinner, I went into my room to do homework. Suddenly, I heard my mom's voice from the room opposite: "Zhang Yanghui, Zhang Yangxuan! Did you touch the money I had in the drawer?"

I heard the voice and opened the door, only to see my younger brother and sister hastily hiding something after hearing mom's voice.

When they saw me open the door, they suddenly ran towards me and then darted into the room behind me.

Mom was holding money and immediately saw me and my younger brother and sister peeking out behind me.

As she walked towards us, she said, "Did you touch my money?"

Naturally, this question included me as well.

Although she doted on my younger brother and sister, she would never allow or tolerate stealing money.

I felt my younger brother and sister trembling as they held onto my clothes, looking at mom in confusion, "My younger brother and sister were in my room the whole time. We only came out when we heard your voice."

The two behind me nodded vigorously.

Mom hesitated for a moment, about to say something, when suddenly grandma's room door opened.

She looked displeased at mom, "Didn't Little Hui and the others say they were with Little Yun the whole time? How could they have had time to touch your money? And Little Hui is a good kid, you must have miscounted or misplaced it somewhere. Don't wrongly accuse the children."

Grandma's words made mom frown instantly.

She glanced at me again, seeming to see my honest expression, she didn't say anything more, but counted the money in her hand, then turned and went back into her room.

As mom closed the door to her room, my younger brother and sister behind me breathed a sigh of relief.

I turned to look at them, but didn't say anything.

My sister looked up at me and smiled, "Sister, did you see everything?"

I remained silent, and my brother said, "Thank you, sister, for covering for us. We'll buy you snacks to eat."

With that, the two of them ran into grandma's room.
