Chapter 159: A Corner of the Truth

Thinking that it was unlikely that a sunny personality would go crazy, Ye Xiaoyu panicked again, trying to look around to see if he could find a little flaw about the illusion.

It's a pity that the rain and fog around me are foggy, and I can't see anything.

"I found a mullion in the ground."

The sunny and faint one in front continued.

The rain was blowing in the wind, getting heavier and heavier, and although Ye Xiaoyu was holding a big umbrella, Qinglang's body was still completely wet. In fact, Ye Xiaoyu admired the sunny sky a little, and it was really a daring artist, such a heavy rain, and he didn't wear a coat or anything, and he rode a horse while holding an umbrella. Even if Ye Xiaoyu didn't sit up, he would have gotten wet, right? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Isn't that normal?"

Ye Xiaoyu didn't know why Qing Lang said this, the stone mullion plant is very special, the root is the antidote to the stems and leaves, in order to resolve the content of the stone mullions in the soil, Ye Xiaoyu and Qing Lang didn't pour a lot of water containing the roots of the stone mullion into the ground a few days ago, there is nothing strange about the stone mullions in the ground.

"It's in a small room on the ground, and I haven't found it before."

The rain was loud, and in order to hear it clearly, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but move closer to Qinglang.

"By the way, did you meet the fifth child just now?"

Hearing Qinglang's words, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.

There is only one direction for this road, that is, Yinpan, just now Lao Wu was so weirdly leading the cow to meet him, his attention was diverted by his mocking tone, and he didn't even think of where he came from. Damn, I was just arguing with him. I didn't think of it at all.

"Hmm. When he went to the field, the mullions were gone......"

The sunny answer disappeared in the rain, but Ye Xiaoyu heard it clearly.

Lao Wu drove the cow and walked to the village, and it began to rain, but there happened to be a grocery store in front of him, so he tied the cow to the side and bent down into the store to avoid the rain.

It is said to be a grocery store, but it does not sell much, mainly to set up some tables and chairs for the villagers to sit and chat in their spare time, and then provide some tea, snacks and so on. Make some change.

There are two such grocery stores in Quanxiu Village. The other is diagonally opposite Lujiazhuang.

Because it was raining suddenly, there were many people sheltering from the rain in the grocery store, and the small lobby was crowded with people. Some even stood under the eaves.

Those people saw Lao Wu come in. They all moved consciously. A small seat was vacated for him to sit. Lao Wu was not polite to these people, and as soon as he saw that there was a place, he sat down generously. He also took out a dry cigarette from his pocket, and smoked it by himself, regardless of whether the air in the store was enough.

"Fifth Master, did you just come back from the town? I haven't seen you in a while......"

Old May sat down, and a farmer in a dark brown coarse cloth roof poked his head over and asked.

As the saying goes, it is better to be in power than to be in charge, although the fifth is only a housekeeper of the Lu family, but as we all know, Lu Yishou handed over all the things of inviting people to work in the field to him to manage, and he alone managed the hundreds of acres of land of the Lu family. So when Lao Wuyi came in, these croppers who were sheltering from the rain in the store all gathered around.

"Alas, yes, there are so many things to do, and one person can't be busy. No, as soon as I was busy with the business at hand outside, Master Lu hurriedly called me back to deal with this matter. The doppelganger lacks skills, and I want to stop doing it for a few more years......"

Lao Wu seems to be used to the stammering of these people in the village, as long as he says a word or two, others will be envious to death.

"It must be the basket that Ye Xiaoyu poked out this time, right? I can't figure it out, how can Master Lu and Mrs. Lu come from that tomboy Hu? ”

"But since you're back, Fifth Master, this matter is probably almost settled......"

"That's it, you don't know the ability of our fifth master......"

"Yes, we will have to rely on the fifth master more in the future......"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and there was no need for Lao Wu to open his mouth, these people automatically made up all the plots of this matter.

After years of accumulation of life in the fields, these croppers facing the loess with their backs to the sky have become accustomed to living comfortably with the status quo, and the Lu family is already an outlier, but because they have to rely on the Lu family, these people are jealous and dare not say it in the open. Ye Xiaoyu suddenly lived in the Lu family and became the eldest lady, and the people in the village were already red-eyed, but now that there is such an incident, these people can just take this opportunity to accuse and abuse them, and vent their inexplicable dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Touching the tight stone mullion powder wrapped in his trouser pocket, the fifth child was extremely proud at this time, Ye Xiaoyu's yellow-haired girl, she just had a lot of kung fu, if she really wanted to fight, where would she be her opponent.

In this matter, he is considered to have designed it seamlessly.

On the day he came back from the town, he heard from Lu Tianfu's mouth that Ye Xiaoyu took over the land of Yinpan instead of him, not only that, but also made great rectifications to his subordinates, and changed the places of those who originally farmed in Yinpan, either dismissed or engaged in other innocuous dirty work and tiring work for them to do, like Lu Tianfu, who was not sent to the livestock shed and was responsible for picking up manure every day.

At that time, he was very angry, but Ye Xiaoyu was in the limelight at that time, and he had the support of the Lu family, he knew that he couldn't make things difficult for her on the surface as before, and if he wanted to kill Ye Xiaoyu, he had to secretly and slowly think about the long term.

Originally, this plan was about to be implemented when the crops in the field of Yinpan were ripe for the first time two months earlier, but at that time, Lu Yishou suddenly asked him to go to the countryside to collect the rent that was confiscated last year.

During this period, he used some connections again, and casually found an excuse to take his youngest daughter Chunyu to live in the town completely, and the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the fifth child lived in the town, so he bought another house next to the eldest son and let himself and the younger daughter live, so that he would not add a burden to the eldest son, and take care of each other.

After doing all this, more than half a year had passed, and Ye Xiaoyu and the Lu family had already tasted the sweetness from that field, and he felt that it was time for him to implement that plan.

In fact, about the stone mullions, he himself does not understand at all, is a certain time to go to the capital, happened to listen to a Jianghu Langzhong with him recommended, at that time said that it is used to poison cockroaches The effect is excellent, and later the fifth found that after sprinkling the water containing the stems and leaves of the stone mullions in the corner, not only poisoned the cockroaches, but also the grass in the corner of the wall withered and yellowed overnight. He felt strange, so he tried a few more times, and each time it was like this, so he came up with a plan, and kept the stone mullions, thinking that they would definitely be useful. Later, it was used, and the effect was really good.

When it was decided to implement it, he secretly slipped back to Quanxiu Village from the countryside that night, and went to the Yinpan land in the dark, because he was in charge before, so even at night, it was not difficult to walk at all.

When he arrived at the silver platter, he poured the powder he had prepared in advance into the trough used for irrigation, and then carried the wooden bucket and went to water it one by one. Originally, he planned to see the whole piece of land, but it was too much work to water 40 acres of land alone, and the most important thing was that the water in the tank that night was not enough. So he picked the crops that had already ripened, and although he was tired and half dead that day, looking back now, it seems that his hard work that day was not in vain.

Since something like that happened in the land of Yinpan, Ye Xiaoyu has thought a lot and considered the situation of artificial poisoning, but she always thought that she had changed the wage settlement method some time ago, which caused the dissatisfaction of the short-term workers of the Lu family, so she did something in the field, she has been thinking in this direction, and she has eliminated those people one by one; Because the fifth child has been collecting rent outside, Ye Xiaoyu did not take him into account. Now it seems that this time I was in the wrong direction from the beginning, and I still boasted of having a bright brain.

But no matter how big the suspicion of the fifth child is, this is also Ye Xiaoyu's own suspicion, the fifth child is not a good type, even in front of the evidence, he may not admit it, let alone rely on Ye Xiaoyu's mouth alone.

It is estimated that Qing Lang also has the same idea, so after he found out that Lao Wu would go down the stone lattice of the ground, he would brave the torrential rain to chase after him.

But what if they catch up?

Needless to say, if you can find the stone lintel, even if you find it on the body of the fifth child, it can't prove that he has poisoned the ground. There is no surveillance in the field, and there are no eyewitnesses, even if you go to confront Lao Wu, as long as he doesn't admit it to death, there is nothing to do with him.

The rain gradually became lighter, a gust of wind blew, and the coolness on her body hit her, and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but shiver.

"What are you going to do if you catch up with the fifth? Beat him up until he confessed? ”

Ye Xiaoyu wiped the rain from her face and asked.

In fact, this question is also asked in vain, she has thought of countless ways just now, but none of them can effectively restrain the fifth child.

"I can't catch up anymore."

The horse was still struggling on the dirt road, and Sunny did not answer directly.

Maybe even if it's sunny, there won't be a good solution for the time being.

The road leading to Yinpan is branched out from the central road in Quanxiu Village, and you have to pass through the avenue in the village to come and go. Ye Xiaoyu especially didn't want to go down that avenue, especially when she and Qinglang were riding the same horse.

There was a torrential rain just now, and the grocery store must be crowded with people, and if you and Qing Lang "swagger through the market" like this, there will definitely be a bunch of gossip in the village.

"Stop, I'll get off the horse first, I'm already in the village, and I'll just walk back for the rest......"

When he was about to arrive at the village road, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly said to Qinglang.

It's not that she's worried about her reputation getting worse, anyway, it's been spread like that by the villagers, no matter how bad it is, it won't get much worse. She didn't want to be gossiped about Qinglang, after all, he would still marry a daughter-in-law in another year or two, and the news of the Zhuang family spread quickly, if it was because of such an unwarranted thing, Qinglang couldn't marry a wife, then Ye Xiaoyu's abuse would be great. And a low-key person like Sunny suddenly became a "topic of conversation", I guess it would be bothering, right? (To be continued......)
