Chapter 8: Proving My Innocence
Old man Xuan was scared at this time, this is going to be embarrassed and thrown home, Li Zheng and the patriarch are here, whether it is Xuan Miaoer who stole the silver, or his mother-in-law framed him, they are all ugly.
But now he didn't have time to stop it, Xuan Wenjiang and Xuan Anrui had already gone out, and the old man Xuan muttered with a mournful face: "No one is worry-free, they are all going to make trouble, and this day has not passed." ”
Fourth Uncle Xuan Wenxin hurriedly expressed his expression in front of the old man, and went over to give Old Man Xuan a smooth breath: "Dad, don't be angry, that wonderful girl is stupid when she is flooded." ”
Although Xuan Anhao is not a big person, he does not allow others to say this about his sister: "My sister is smart, so she is not stupid." ”
Xuan Wenxin glared at Xuan Anhao: "What do you know about your child's teeth, go aside." ”
Xuan Wenbao also got up at this time, and looked at Xuan Wentao with a somewhat critical tone: "Big brother, yesterday I said that you didn't educate Miao'er, look at it now, hey, this kid is really ignorant." He shook his head as he spoke, looking disappointed.
Xuan Wentao looked at everyone's expressions, he felt the most uncomfortable, but this also determined that he must let Miao'er prove his innocence this time: "Miao'er just wants to prove that she didn't steal anything, what's wrong?
As soon as these words were finished, everyone had nothing to say, yes, they forced it, if this matter is not resolved, it is confirmed that Xuan Miaoer is a thief.
After a while, Xuan Wenjiang and the patriarch came in first, and Xuan Anrui and Li Zheng also came in.
Old Man Xuan hurriedly came over to say hello: "It's really a sin to come to our house with the patriarch at noon to interrupt this business, please take a seat." ”
Li Zheng and the patriarch sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and Old Man Xuan asked the Wang family and the Feng family to start cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Xuan Qing'er to make tea.
Xuan Miao'er looked at Li Zheng and the patriarch, and generously stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to Uncle Li Zheng, patriarch and grandfather, it was Miao'er who bothered the two of you today, but this matter is related to Miao'er's reputation in her life, so I have to ask the two most prestigious people in the village to prove it." ”
Li Zheng and the patriarch have also seen Xuan Miaoer before, this village is not big, almost children of this age, they all know that this Xuan Miaoer used to be very introverted and rarely spoke, but today this seems to be a different person, but this attitude is knowledgeable.
And Xuan Miaoer's words, both of them agree, this reputation is very important, especially stealing things, once you sit down, anyone who loses something in the future can think of you, this is a lifetime thing.
Li Zhengdao: "Miao Yatou is right, yesterday you died Mingzhi, and our village said that you were innocent, but this is all about everyone's rumors, if you can prove yourself, it will be the best." ”
After Li Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the patriarch, and the patriarch also nodded: "Yes, this woman's reputation is very important, so how can you let us prove it?"
Xuan Miaoer already counted in her heart: "Actually, it's very simple, I used my mother's silver bracelet as silver, so I can find the pawn ticket, I went to buy paper after the hairpin that day, but the paper was taken back by my grandmother, I begged my grandmother to take out the paper and see if the pawn ticket was in the paper." ”
In fact, Xuan Miaoer doesn't know if there is a pawn ticket, it may be sandwiched inside, but it may also be thrown away, but I don't worry, even if there is none, you can go to the pawnshop to ask, the pawnshop is not much, it is not difficult to find, and it has only been two days since the incident, it is not difficult to find this matter.
Hearing Xuan Miaoer's words, Ma Shi nervously grabbed the corner of her clothes, she hadn't been to be a thing, I didn't know that there was such a thing as a ticket, and Xuan Miaoer's temperament probably didn't understand these before.
In fact, many people in the house have never been to the pawnshop, and even if they have been, they have never paid attention to the pawn ticket, and they generally go out and do not think about buying it back, so they don't know where to throw the pawn ticket.
At this time, Xuan Baozhu put on her shoes and slowly moved her body out, the stack of paper was put on Xuan Wenbao's desk by Ma, and now she wanted to find and destroy the evidence first.
When Xuan Miao'er saw Xuan Baozhu's movements, she knew what she was going to do: "What is my sister-in-law going to do? Take those papers? Since it is a piece of evidence, you can't take it alone, what if you lose the other evidence?"
Although Xuan Baozhu is usually domineering, she is not so shrewd, and she was speechless for a while: "I don't, I just want to go out to breathe." ”
Li Zheng and the patriarch had to re-examine the girl, and the two exchanged glances and continued to look at Xuan Miao'er.
Xuan Miao'er was not panicked: "Then ask grandmother to send someone to get the drawing paper." ”
Ma's hands and feet are trembling a little now, she is so old, she is forced to be overwhelmed for the first time, and she can't play tricks in front of Li Zheng and the patriarch: "Take someone to get the orb." ”
Xuan Baozhu listened to Ma's instructions, and didn't dare to say more, so he walked straight to Xuan Wenbao's study, and Xuan Wenjiang and Xuan Anrui followed closely.
Entering Xuan Wenbao's study, Xuan Baozhu wanted to find a stack of similar ones, but there was a stack of papers on the desk, Xuan Wenjiang walked over, took the paper and said to Xuan Anrui: "Erlang, you are watching here, the outer one is not this, lest someone do anything." ”
Xuan Anrui also responded smartly: "I know the second uncle, you can go over." ”
Xuan Wenjiang walked back to the hall with the paper, and put the paper stacked on the table of the Eight Immortals: "There are two Laos." ”
Xuan Miao'er was worried that if there was no word in this paper, it would make people distrust her words in the future, so the ugly words had to be said in front: "Wait a minute, I don't remember a lot of things after I fell into the river yesterday, and looking for evidence in this paper is just a speculation for me, if not, I will have to bother Uncle Lizheng and the patriarch grandfather, and send someone to go to the county seat with me to check the pawnshop one by one." ”
After listening to Xuan Miao'er's words, Li Zheng felt reasonable: "Well, since we want to find out, we will naturally investigate it step by step, and you can rest assured that we won't care if a clue is broken." ”
The patriarch had already begun to look through the drawing paper at this time, and soon found a pawn ticket from inside, on which was a silver bracelet of Xuan Miao'er, and the patriarch read the contents of the pawn ticket and announced that Xuan Miao'er had been misunderstood.
Of course, the patriarch and Li Zheng also gave the Xuan family a face, saying that it was a misunderstanding rather than a frame-up.
Old Man Xuan naturally understood the Tao, and thanked Li Zheng and the patriarch with a thousand thanks, and said that he would invite the two of them to dinner in the evening, but those two knew it in their hearts, and the Xuan family probably couldn't stop in the afternoon, and they didn't participate here.
Li Zheng stood up: "Today's incident is sudden, our family will build a corn barn in the afternoon, and we will have the opportunity to bother again in the future." ”
The patriarch also stood up: "I still have to go home to see my grandson." Saying that, he stroked his beard with a smile and went out side by side with Lizheng.
Old Man Xuan hurriedly took a few sons to follow behind and sent him out of the courtyard gate.
The outsiders left, Ma sat on the kang and scolded Xuan Miao'er: "You little bitch, now you are satisfied, our family has lost face, then you are satisfied, you are not filial, I didn't mean to frame you, are you going to slap my wife in the face?"
Xuan Miao'er stood in front of Ma in a proper manner: "Grandmother, I'm sorry, I just want to give myself an innocence, I didn't say that you framed me, but I found the origin of the silver I bought paper." ”
Ma Shi lost face in front of outsiders, and his heart was on fire, which could not let go of their family lightly: "Miao girl does not distinguish between young and old, and against grandmother and aunt, you will be punished for kneeling on the ancestral tablet for three days, and the eldest daughter-in-law will be disposed of improperly, and she will cook for ten more days, and then rest according to the original rotation." ”
