As soon as he heard that he had lost the silver, Zhou Rongjia asked, "Xiaoyang, how much silver have you lost?" ”

Xiaoyang exaggerated the length and said, "I lost a lot of silver." In addition to the silver to buy land, which my father did not lose, the forty-seven taels of silver that my sister left for the family were all gone, and even the box was taken away. ”

The kind lady said, "Yo, that's a lot." Forty-seven taels, save a little flower, it can take five years. Xiaoyang, you hurry up and report to the official, you can't let the thief spend all the money. ”

Xiaoyang should get down, pull Li Zheng and want to go forward. Chen panicked when he saw it, and quickly grabbed Xiao Yang's arm, and forced himself to calm down and asked, "Xiao Yang, could it be that you didn't look carefully, and forgot to put the silver somewhere else?" ”

The old lady was distressed when she heard that she had lost so much money. Seeing that the Chen family was still so indiscriminate, he scolded: "You brainless, don't let Xiaoyang go, don't report to the official, you will pay for the lost silver?" ”

Seeing that the old lady didn't help her, Chen became even more anxious. If she really asks Xiaoyang to report to the official, what can she do? Stealing is a big crime, not just being blamed for gossiping.

If she is really caught as a thief, not to mention that Li Dali will divorce her, even her mother's family will not recognize her. Moreover, with the crime of stealing, it is impossible to remarry, and others will exclude and bully her.

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, Chen Shi held Xiaoyang's arm and didn't let go. Seeing this, Xiao Yang didn't understand anything, so he shook off Chen's hand, intending to scare her again. Who knows, when he threw it like this, the box hidden in Chen's sleeve pocket was thrown out, and the silver and copper plates were scattered all over the ground.

Chen looked at the box that had fallen at his feet in horror, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. The old lady obviously didn't understand the situation, so she scolded: "Losers, it's okay to go out with so much silver, and you're not afraid of being robbed." ”

As she spoke, the old lady squatted down to pick up the silver. Chen mistakenly thought that this was the old lady who opened her mouth to help her out, so she also squatted down to pick up the silver. The first thing she picked up was the box. It's incriminating evidence, so you have to hide it and keep it from the attention of others.

But the sharp-eyed one shouted directly: "Box, that's a box." and this silver, not a few dozen taels. Could it be that the silver of Xiao Nuan's family was taken by her aunt? ”

The golden matchmaker also came over and snatched the box while Chen was in a panic. She shook the box and asked Li Xiaoyang: "Xiaoyang, let's see if this is the box lost by your family?" ”

Seeing this, Chen didn't care about picking up the silver, so he quickly jumped up and grabbed the box. While snatching it back, he shouted: "Give it back to me, that's my box." Why do you have a gun on my box, did you steal the silver of Xiao Nuan's family? ”

Seeing that the Chen family was lying to herself, the golden matchmaker would definitely not agree. She shouted to the crowd, "Pick up the silver and count it to see if it is exactly forty-seven taels." If so, then it must be this mother-in-law who stole it, and she dares to lie to me, see if I don't report to the official and arrest you. ”

When the kind-hearted man saw the swarm of people squatting down to grab the money, he was so anxious that he cried out, "You must hand it over as much as you can, and Li is watching." ”

Xiao Yang looked at this chaotic scene, and looked at the woman gratefully: "Aunt Xie." My family's silver has a special fragrance on it, and no one can take it away. If there is less to come, let's go to the government and let the county magistrate judge it. ”

Those speculators who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble got up in a daze when they heard this, and handed over the silver they had stolen to Lizheng. In fact, there are only six silver ingots, which have already been picked up by the old lady. The rest were some broken silver horns and copper plates.

When everyone handed over the silver and copper plates in their hands to Li Zheng, the old lady refused to take out what she had picked up. Seeing this, Li Xiaoyang said: "Grandma, now the money in your hand is still incriminating evidence, if you don't hand it over, I'm afraid you have to go directly to the yamen." ”

The old lady said, "It's your money, and my old woman can't take it." If it's really your fifth uncle's silver, can I still be wrong with it? ”

Xiaoyang was speechless and looked at Li Zheng. Seeing that everyone was paying attention to the old lady, Chen wanted to run away secretly. It's a pity that the good thing golden matchmaker will not let go of Chen, who let Chen lie to her before.

"Chen, where are you going? I don't want any silver, doesn't it mean that I have to make a judgment to know whose money it is? ”

Seeing that he couldn't sneak away, Chen stubbornly pulled Xiaoyang and said earnestly: "Xiaoyang, Aunt Wu, I didn't know that the box contained silver before, but I took it when I saw that the box was beautiful." Don't go to the official, it's all a misunderstanding, haven't all the money been found. ”

The golden matchmaker raised the box in her hand and said to everyone: "Yo, this box is really beautiful, just like the thirty Wen box I bought from the Liu craftsman." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud. Chen is both remorseful and hateful, and also very ashamed. This makes her how to be a person in the future. Although it didn't make trouble to the government, but it was known by the golden matchmaker, are you still afraid that the matter will not be publicized?

The old lady naturally thought of that, so she said angrily: "You did a good thing." ”

After speaking, he turned to Li Zheng and said: "Li Zheng, you see that this is all a misunderstanding, let's go back and explain it, we don't need to report to the official." ”

Xiaoyang didn't want to let Chen go like this, and said, "Grandma, you take out the silver first and count it clearly in front of Uncle Lizheng, so as not to cheapen others." ”

The old lady was unwilling, so she took the silver in her hand and let everyone count it in her hand. Mrs. Zhou, who had just arrived next to her, couldn't see it, so she snatched the silver directly from her hand and handed it to Li Zheng.

After asking about the situation, Mrs. Zhou directly counted down the old lady and said, "I said that you are getting old and old, and you are becoming more and more ashamed." The daughter-in-law is not sensible, and you are not sophisticated at this age? How difficult is Xiao Nuan's family, you don't see it at all? I think you are just digging into the horns of the bull and loving to accuse the child. ”

was accused by a prestigious old man, and the old lady couldn't get by. But she couldn't put on the shelf of her elders, so she had to bow down and say: "His aunt, I'm not old and confused." Come, let's sit down. ”

Mrs. Zhou didn't want to lose her face too much, so she went downhill along the donkey and said, "That's okay, I haven't been there for a long time." A little gold, can you count the silver? ”

Li Zheng is called Zhou Tingjin, and he is the grandchild of Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou is not wrong to call her so. However, Lizheng's eldest grandson is already sixteen years old, and it is a bit inappropriate to be called like this.

"Aunt Ba, you might as well call me Sanjin." Li Zheng ranked third.

Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.
