167. Plague of thieves

Originally, he came to the Li family to theorize, but when he encountered He's serious illness, Father Wen had to swallow his anger and ask a few questions. No matter how angry he is now, it is impossible for him to make a fuss when others are sick, doesn't that make the relationship between her daughter and the Li family more and more stiff? He's not here to help.

Although there were some things that he couldn't say, it didn't prevent him from getting angry in his heart. In the past, he also envied that the Li family had several sons, married several daughters-in-law, and many grandchildren, and was very popular. Now, he has been at Li's house for a while, and no one has freed up his hand to get a bowl of water, either he is huddled in the house and does not come out, or he is working angrily, and he deliberately makes a loud noise when he puts things down.

With whom is this a demonstration?

If it was his daughter-in-law, he would have picked up bamboo strips and fried meat with bamboo shoots. It is natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law, and there is nothing to be reluctant about.

"Father-in-law, let you see the joke." He smiled bitterly.

Even if he was reluctant to meddle in the affairs of the Li family, Father Wen couldn't help frowning, "Have they always been like this?" ”

It hasn't been counted, but the second son and grandson are still smiling when they come home.

It's just that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time.

"I'm an old woman, they're all annoying." He coughed twice and joked to himself: "It seems that I, as a mother-in-law, am unpopular on weekdays, no wonder this is so, I have failed too much." ”

"Then you are also their mother-in-law!" Father Wen raised his eyebrows and said. suddenly remembered that his daughter was also their daughter-in-law, and his daughter didn't serve at the bedside. Daddy Wen felt embarrassed. "I'll let Tiezhu Niang come back tomorrow."

Maybe it's because people become fragile when they're sick, and He's heart is full of gratitude, or time is the best way to see a person, and the Wen family is not wrong with such a family matter. But at that time, the trouble was so intense, I was afraid that Wen also had a pimple in his heart, and he didn't want to come back, although he was ordered by his father to come back to take care of her, he would still feel uncomfortable. Others respect me for a foot, and I should return the favor, He thought about it. Then he said: "I asked the third child to pick up their mother and son." ”

Doing something wrong. It is necessary to take the posture of admitting mistakes, and never let Wen come back quietly without dignity.

There was a little smile in Daddy Wen's eyes, and he knew that the He family was not such a nonsense person, and the grievances were clear. I also know how to advance and retreat. Tell Li Qiang to pick up Wen. As soon as he came, his daughter's face lit up. Second, it will not be looked down upon by a few concubines. Although they live under the same roof, the relationship between the concubines is the most complicated. It is also particularly important.

"I didn't know that you were sick, so," Father Wen rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed. Angry, I didn't bring anything with me, and it happened that the other party was sick, and I always felt like I was rude.

"Wherever you say, my father-in-law can come to see me and talk to me, and my heart is much brighter." Tears flashed in He's eyes, it seems that all bad things have come out these days, the daughter-in-law goes back to her parents' house, the noisy and throws things, the son is silent, and does not go home, except for the occasional little excitement, there is no sound from the side, and the depression is so depressing that people want to go crazy.

Is she doing something wrong that is why she suffers from this? It's a really sad day, and she also wants to find someone to talk to and solve it.

Father Wen is a foreign man, even when he visits He, he sits not far from the door and can be seen, let alone panic after seeing He crying. He wiped his hands on his thighs and stood up a little crampedly, not knowing where to put his hands.

However, fortunately, He quickly reined in his feelings: "Look at me, let my in-laws laugh." ”

"No, no." Daddy Wen waved his hand in disagreement.

The He family, who was recovering his feelings, also quickly sorted out his thoughts: "I heard that I poured so much bitter water, and I haven't asked my father-in-law what happened when he came to the house." ”

***

"Who, who was the god to steal my family's silver?!" Wen held a kitchen knife and stood at the gate of the courtyard angrily.

When dinner was being prepared, most of the people were at home, and when they heard the movement, they quickly gathered around and asked what was going on.

Wen didn't expect that when she went out to work, her family was robbed, and she was quite a thief, she hid it so tightly that she still stole all her silver. She worked so hard, but she cheapened others, thinking that Dashan was still wearing thin clothes to study in the school, Wen's tears flowed.

"Liu Er Mazi, isn't it you?!" Wen's teary eyes were hazy and he pointed to Liu Ermazi in the crowd. If you want to say that the person who is the most suspicious, it is Liu Ermazi, who has a history of petty theft.

"Hey, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense." Liu Er Mazi straightened up and made a look of a hero who dared to act, "Although I, Liu Er, am lazy, I only steal chickens and potatoes when I am hungry, but I have never stolen silver, you ask which family in the village has less than silver over the years." The people in the village turned a blind eye to me when they saw me pitiful, but I am not a muddy person, and I will go to jail for stealing money, and I don't want to even have a place to live. ”

"You bastard kid has a point." An aunt on the side stretched out her hand and twisted Liu Ermazi's ear.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts." Liu Er Mazi tilted his head and grinned, shouting.

"Have you noticed that Liu Ermazi seems to be a lot cleaner?"

"It's a little bit..."

It's none of your business, and it's easy for people's focus to be diverted by something else.

"It's you, not you, who else?!" Wen's bit Liu Ermazi, she is a woman, and she has never lost such a large sum of silver, how can she not panic? Even if it is a lie, it is better than grabbing the empty and letting the heart hang.

"It's not me!" Liu Er Mazi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his face turned red with anger, and he spread his hands, "I don't believe you search." ”

Liu Er Mazi was a bachelor, but he didn't expect that the Wen family, who had lost a lot of silver, would really dare to reach out and search regardless of the defense of men and women.

"Nope." Several men next to him hurriedly searched for Liu Ermazi's body for the Wen family. The weather is getting colder, but the clothes on Liu Ermazi's body are still thin, and it is easy to search them all, even if they hide things, it is easy to see.

No.

"Go to his house, he must have hidden the silver at home." Wen said again.

First of all, it doesn't matter if Liu Ermazi stole the silver, even if he really stole his silver, just find a random place to hide it first, and then take it later, who would be stupid enough to hide the thief's stolen goods at home.

"Tiezhu damn it, are you in a hurry at home to use the money? If you're really in a hurry, let's make it up first, and you can take it to the emergency first. The middle-aged woman in the crowd patted Wen's back and said softly.

Originally, I didn't use it when I had a surplus, but now it's a debt?

"I'm going to sue the official, I'm going to sue the official!" Having lost such a large sum of silver, Wen felt distressed and insisted.

Everyone here thinks that Wen is mad, report to the official, and win without a silver lawsuit? Trekking hundreds of miles, and then putting on dozens of taels of silver, is it just to lose such a little money?

Is it worth it?

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "How many taels of silver did you lose?" Look at you in a hurry. ”

How much? That's more than ninety taels, and some people can't save money for several lifetimes.

As soon as Wen was about to shout, Qiaoqiao knelt down in front of everyone and kept kowtowing, "Please help us, uncles, aunts and sisters, it is not easy for our mother and son to save some money, please think about whether you have seen any strangers in the village today." ”

"What about your mother-in-law, what about your father-in-law?" While the poor child arouses people's sympathy, it also reminds people of Li Qiang.

Wen was suffocated, what should she say?

Some people speculated: "I haven't seen Li Qiang come once, it's because the two of them quarreled." ”

There were a lot of seconds.

"My father worshipped a master and only came home once a month. It just so happened that my grandfather was not feeling well a few days ago, so my mother came back with a few of us. Qiaoqiao replied, and looked at everyone with anticipation: "Uncles and aunts, do you think of any special people or strange places?" ”

Only then did the crowd turn their attention to the problem itself.

Wen is head turned to look at Qiaoqiao, a small body, a white face, sleeves rolled up, revealing a small thin arm, I can't see anything special, but I can still calm down at this time. Looking back now, if she yelled that she had lost more than ninety taels, I am afraid that there would be people with bad intentions who would come to her house again. At that time, there was a room full of old and young women and children, who would have expected that something would happen. Just now, it was she who resolved her embarrassment and diverted the attention of others, this is her Wen Lotus's daughter, Wen's heart suddenly swelled with pride.

But when I saw Qiaoqiao kneeling on the ground, there was no one who did it. Wen's heart hurt again, if it is useless to be a mother, no one will feel sorry for her more.

"Get up." Wen stood up first, then grabbed Qiaoqiao's arm, forcing her to get up.

I don't know where my dad ran away, there is no man in the family, and what you say has no weight. Wen Shi bowed fiercely to the crowd, "Fathers, most of you have watched me grow up, please watch me for the sake of my surname Wen, and help us." The child's father is not at home, so our mother and son will ask you to take care of it. Your great kindness, I will definitely repay the lotus flower in the future. ”

"Yan zhòng, don't worry, it will be." It didn't happen to them, but the fact that there was a thief in Wenjia Village still made them vigilant.

"Liu Er Mazi, I sue you, if I catch you stealing my family's silver, I will definitely take off your skin." Wen didn't forget to viciously call and instruct.

Anyway, you're being targeted, right? While surprised that Wen was an astonishing premonition, Liu Er Mazi still cooperated to make a rogue expression, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and spit on the ground, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, crazy woman." ”

The chatter slowly dispersed, and the night gradually spread to the entire sky. (To be continued......)
