Chapter 164: A Cotton Harvest
Speaking of which, Xu Lao Er is really a timid person, he was afraid of being affected by Tian Xiaocao, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to testify for Tian Xiaocao, and because of Ma Shang's slap on the table and a question, he was frightened and shook out the truth of the matter.
"My mother~ I have been pouring mold for eight lifetimes, and I married such a coward, Xu Laoer, you are not a fucking man, your woman was bullied like this, you are actually indifferent, you know that Lu Dao is a man with his tail between his legs, you are not a man, you have to die well, you have no asshole when you give birth to a son......"
Tian Xiaocao was full of hope that Xu Lao Er would testify for her, but she didn't expect this unpromising person not only not to help her testify, but also turned against her, pointing directly at herself, looking at Xu Lao Er's frightened appearance, Tian Xiaocao was angry for a while, plus she was usually used to being arrogant at home, where Xu Lao Er was so distracted from her, she scolded a lot, and completely forgot that Xu Lao Er's son was also born to her.
"Bold! Shut up Xu Tian's family, Xiu's nonsense is to do that shrew scolding the street, what else do you have to quibble about now, they all say that husband and wife are of the same heart, and now even your husband will not help you to help you in the abuse! Ma Shang saw that after Tian Xiaocao listened to Xu Lao'er's words, he kept scolding and scolding, but he only frowned, and when Tian Xiaocao's scolding became more and more ugly, he had to scold and stop Tian Xiaocao.
Tian Xiaocao was scolding Huan with tears and snot, completely forgetting that there was such a group of people around him, he was startled by Ma Shang's scolding, shrunk his neck, and climbed a few steps forward, wanting to get close to Ma Shang's body, but was stopped by Leng Yun, so he could only kneel there and start shouting grievances,
"Your Excellency. The women really haven't done it. They have wronged me. My cowardly man is as timid as a mouse, he doesn't dare to do anything, and he does anything for his own sake. When he was shouted by the adults, he was frightened, he could say that what was black was white, and what was white could be said to be black! ”
Tian Xiaocao still has some brains in the end, and when he said this, the onlookers nodded approvingly. After all, Xu Lao Er is indeed as timid as a mouse, in order not to be beaten and punished, he really dares to say that the black is white and the white is black. Xu Lao Er has done a lot of such things, which is also the reason why the villagers of Tianjia Village disdain him to socialize.
Seeing that the villagers of Tianjia Village all nodded, Ma Shang didn't do much to entangle Xu Lao Er, after all, Xu Lao Er had a criminal record, if he had to rely on him. convicted Tian Xiaocao, thinking that not only Tian Xiaocao was not convinced. The villagers of Tianjia Village must have complained that he was unfair.
"Humph! Okay, even if what Xu Lao Er said is not true, then Tian Wu's words can be excused from the dark, he is wrong, so what about this, do you know what this is? Ma Shang raised the silver bracelet in his hand and motioned for Tian Xiaocao to raise his head.
To say that this silver bracelet was still found by Ma Shang's people from the straw ash, Ma Shang did not report great hope at the beginning, but he did not expect to get a full physical evidence, Ma Shang also arrested Tian Xiaocao according to this, as for the later witnesses, it was also after the bracelet was found, and his subordinates came to report.
"Shouldn't you tell me again that it was its own long legs that ran into the straw ashes of the Tian family?" Ma Shang said sarcastically, and as soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers all laughed sarcastically.
Speaking of the silver bracelet, most of the women in Tianjia Village know it, not because of anything else, but because Tian Xiaocao and the Zhu family have the same personality - love to show off, the silver bracelet and silver hairpin were originally a set of dowry gifts from the Xu family to Tian Xiaocao.
When Tian Xiaocao got married, Zhu left the silver hairpin to wear it himself, and the silver bracelet was given to Tian Xiaocao, but unfortunately after so many years, Tian Xiaocao is getting fatter and fatter, and he can't wear his wrist at all.
Tian Xiaocao has been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the Tian family, but unfortunately she has never found a chance, she wanted to order the Tian family's straw stack on the day she opened the ancestral hall, and she did sneak behind the Tian family's straw stack, but she didn't expect it to be so late that day, the Tian family had not rested, and she was found by Tian Jing, she could only run away.
And in the evening of the next day, I watched the rice picked one by one being picked and put on the rice field. Her mind was alive again, that night Tian Xiaocao and so on to the house to sleep, to the side of the rice stack in the dark, the fire was indeed lit by her, but unfortunately she was frightened by the fire that quickly rushed to the sky, coupled with a weak heart, when she fled, she fell a solid foot, presumably the bracelet also rolled out of her arms at that time.
"This, this ......" Tian Xiaocao wanted to say, it was not my bracelet, but unfortunately she was usually too nervous, and the bracelet was held by her to show off throughout the village, and she wanted to say no, but no one believed it, so she could only be speechless.
"Xu Tian's family, now that the human and material evidence is there, you still don't admit it, do you want to serve the official punishment?" In a few words, the gloomy and terrible question asked by Ma Shang, as if Tian Xiaocao had already been punished if he didn't admit it.
"I, I ......" Tian Xiaocao stopped calling herself a woman because she was nervous, and I didn't say anything for a long time.
"So far, I can't help but let you not admit it, come here, tie up Xu Tian's family, lock him up, and wait until he returns to the county office, and the official is convicting in a careful trial!" At this time, Ma Shang didn't give Tian Xiaocao a chance to speak, and directly called someone to tie up Tian Xiaocao and detain him.
"Yes!" As soon as Ma Shang's words fell, he heard Leng Yun's yes, and then squinted at the two yacha, and someone took Tian Xiaocao down, but Tian Xiaocao was not such an honest person, seeing that the yacha stepped forward to arrest people, Tian Xiaocao wanted to hide, but he couldn't hide, so he scolded loudly,
"My lord, I am really wronged, my lord, the Tian family looks at me unpleasantly, and deliberately frames me, wronged, wronged, wronged......", Tian Xiaocao shouted at the top of his voice, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him, and the onlookers all looked at her with disdain.
After shouting for a long time, Tian Xiaocao saw that it had no effect, so he was angry and scolded Ma Shang, "You are a faint official, you must have received the benefits of the Tian family, so you let people arrest me indiscriminately, I want to sue you, I want to beat the drum and voice grievances, I want to sue the county order, frame a good person, you must not die a good ......death."
"Bold! The people's woman Xu Tian, the crime of insulting the officials of the Wu Dynasty is added to the first degree! As for whether this level is a faint official, freedom is decided today, and it is not your turn to talk too much about the village woman! Ma Shang didn't want to pay attention to Tian Xiaocao's scolding, but she thought that he was afraid of her, so the louder and louder she scolded, the more she scolded, the more ugly it became. Hmph, the tiger doesn't make a threat when he's a sick cat.
After Tian Xiaocao was taken away, the names of the onlookers naturally dispersed, and Ma Shang arched his hand to Lao Luotou and said, "Old brother, this matter has finally been resolved, and you don't have to worry about it in the future!" If it's getting late today, we're going to disturb my brother for the night! ”
"Where is it, it should be our Lord Xie Lu Xie, if it weren't for adults, I wouldn't be able to say that Tian Xiaocao, seeing that no one was pursuing it, I had other evil thoughts, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao at that time!"
Lao Luotou and the Tian family didn't expect that Tian Xiaocao, who 'disappeared', actually had such a thought, so he kept quiet every day and waited for an opportunity to move.
"That's it! Old man, you and Ma Xianling don't want to thank you anymore, the brothers have been on the road all morning, and they haven't eaten well at noon, and they have been busy all afternoon in the afternoon, they must have been tired and hungry for a long time, and the meal has already been prepared, so hurry up and lead people to eat something! Li Shi saw that the two of them were here for a long time, and urged.
"Yes, look at me, everyone must be hungry, hurry up, go to eat!" Lao Luotou was reminded by the Li family, and hurriedly led people into the door to eat, and then turned his head and shouted at Boss Tian, "Boss, hurry up and lead Lord Leng to eat!" ”
"Daddy, don't worry, I'll lead Lord Leng and them over!" Needless to say, Boss Tian took Leng Yun and them to the side hall early.
When the Li family was shouted out by Ma Shang and them, they had already burned the dishes, chopsticks and food, and just waited for Lao Luotou and them to come back and finish the fire with Ma Shang, and then they could start the meal, but they didn't expect to be delayed until now.
This matter is over, and it can be regarded as the end of a matter of the Tian family, and for a period of time after that, the Tian family began to concentrate on harvesting rice, and Xia Zhi and Lin Yunlei still circled around cotton all day long.
It wasn't until the cotton began to be spit and picked that the Tian family knew that it was actually cotton that Lin Yunlei's eldest brother asked Lin Yunlei to plant, which surprised them at the time, and then they were overjoyed.
It is worth mentioning that after the Tian Xiaocao incident, the cotton began to spit like snowflakes, Xia Zhi and Lin Yunlei couldn't be busy at all, and Xia Zhi had no choice but to pull Li and Zheng to help, plus the need to separate the cotton wool from the cotton shell, Xia Zhi could only pull the Tian family who came back from farming at night to light up and work overtime.
Lin Yunlei couldn't stop sighing in his heart when he saw the cotton that was recovered, it seems that this matter is right to find the summer solstice, they didn't plan to have a bumper harvest this year, they just wanted to be able to grow and live, as for whether there is cotton income or not, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to continue next year.
It's just that the current situation is obviously beyond Lin Yunlei's plan, and when Lao Luotou and they finish harvesting the rice, the cotton in the cotton field is almost harvested, and Lao Luotou and they weigh it, which is more than 1,000 catties, even compared to the previous rice, it can be regarded as a bumper harvest.
What's more, Lin Yunlei vaguely felt that it was those merchants who were good at cotton, and the cotton output of one acre of land had not reached 200 catties, so I am afraid that there was only one summer solstice.
In fact, he knew that those merchants all relied on Tianduo. The yield of real cotton is not high, because they don't know how to go to the top, they only let the cotton grow, fertilize and prevent insects, and nothing else. Although such cotton seedlings grow tall, they are very few cotton peaches, and the yield of cotton is naturally much lower. (To be continued......)
