Chapter 44: Lessons

Aunt Li couldn't sit still at home these days, and she didn't help Lin Zhu get justice, and she felt very uncomfortable, but Wen Shanniang was used to stealing and playing tricks, and she didn't admit that she did it. I really couldn't help it, so I found Lin Zhu.

"Xiaozhu, my aunt wants to ask you, if you take out the hairpin and confront her directly, okay?" Aunt Li asked straight to the point, "Let's come up with evidence and see how she can deny it?" ”

Lin Zhu thought that he wanted the village chief's family to bring back their face, and Wen Shanniang only needed to return the stolen crops. Village Chief Lin Changqing must have understood that in this matter, he owed Lin Zhu a lot of favors, after all, Lin Zhu saved the face of his village chief and even their family. Lin Zhu agreed to give the hairpin to Aunt Li, but also said that he would not come forward. It must be uncomfortable for a few adults to let a child see a joke, so it's better to stay away.

Aunt Li, who got the hairpin, and Lin Changqing, the village chief, went to her cousin Lin Changsheng's house again, but this time they only found Lin Changsheng, and no one talked to Wen Shanniang. But Wen Shanniang saw that they seemed to be prepared this time, and her heart suddenly panicked, and she was always a little nervous, but she didn't dare to break into the house where they were talking, so she could only walk around the yard uneasily. Her eldest son, Lin Wenshan, saw his mother like this, and asked with concern what happened? Why do uncles and aunts always come to their own house, now is the time to be busy, and it stands to reason that they should rest at home at night.

In the face of her son's concern, Wen Shanniang couldn't say anything, because she stole other people's rice in a moment's ghost, and now the village chief's family is helping people to seek justice, as soon as this kind of thing is said, her son will definitely look down on her. Such an indescribable state of mind can just turn into a pool of bitter water, which is swallowed by Wen Shanniang herself, who makes her love take advantage of it, too greedy.

Lin Changsheng, who was sitting in the back room, saw his cousin and sister-in-law come to the door again, but in fact, the boss was unwilling to do it, and he had already said that it was not his mother-in-law's business, so why didn't he come over to find trouble. But looking at the ugly faces of the two, they couldn't say anything to justify, so they had to see what their cousin Lin Changqing said. Lin Changqing sat on the chair, looked at Lin Changsheng, and sighed in his heart, his cousin is a good man, and his ability is not worse than him, otherwise no one would have proposed to make him the village head, but he didn't expect to marry such an uneasy wife, if this matter is spread so that he can raise his head in the village, besides, he is also a high-spirited person, if the people in the village are lifted, think about that kind of scene, Lin Changqing will feel sad.

"Changsheng, I didn't want to come here all the time, but now I have to talk to you, what do you see here?" Lin Changqing motioned to Aunt Li to take out the hairpin and show it to him. Aunt Li put the hairpin on the table, and Lin Changsheng looked at it, "Isn't this Wenshan's mother's hairpin?" She said she lost it, why is it with you? ”

"She said she lost it? Did she tell you where she lost it? Aunt Li's tone was a little rushed. Seeing his cousin-in-law like this, Lin Changsheng shook his head slightly, at this time he was no longer so sure that Lin Zhu's family's loss of crops had nothing to do with his wife. "I didn't pick up this hairpin, it was shown to me that day. Said it was picked up in the stolen field. Aunt Li continued, "And in order to save face for our Lin family, I have never said anything about being stolen from the crops." Otherwise, it would have spread to the village by now, and our family's face would have been completely disgraced by then. ”

Lin Changsheng listened to Aunt Li's words, and also came back to his senses, who did the stolen Zhilu Dao, but he never said it, it was completely for the sake of his cousin and cousin-in-law's face, but he had been deceived for so long, if this made people know the Dao, it was scary to think about, but his own mother-in-law, who was not angry, still denied it in every possible way as if she had nothing to do, so that he believed it was true, this time everyone brought all the evidence to him, thinking of this Lin Changsheng as if he had been slapped in the face, his face was flushed. "Brother Changqing, this, this, I really didn't expect ......" Going down, he really couldn't speak, "You are also responsible for this, your mother-in-law has not restrained her, you must take care of her well in the future, don't do such a shameful thing again." This is fortunate to be Lin Zhu, although she is young, she is very stable and kind, plus we helped her, she remembered it well, so she didn't make a big fuss, and it was impossible for anyone to be so calm. Lin Changqing made it clear, and he also wanted Lin Changsheng to remember Lin Zhu's goodness, take care of his wife in the future, and don't embarrass Lin Zhu everywhere because of the past.

"I'll take care of her in the future." Lin Changzhu nodded vigorously, now he can't wait to call his wife over immediately and teach her a hard lesson, he has always thought that he is not worse than his cousin, but he didn't become the village chief because of bad luck, although he didn't say it, but when his mother-in-law and cousin-in-law competed, he didn't stop it, and now he lost such a big person in front of them, he was really angry.

Reluctantly held back his temper, sent the two away, and called Wen Shanniang into the back room with an expressionless face, his son Lin Wenshan saw that his father's face was a little wrong, and saw that his mother was also cautious, afraid that his mother would make his father angry, and wanted to come forward to persuade one or two, but was blocked by Lin Changsheng.

As soon as she returned to the back room, Wen Shanniang saw the hairpin on the table, and at first she was happy that her hairpin had been recovered, but she didn't wait long for joy to react, and the matter was revealed, and she already knew the stupid things she had done. looked at Lin Changsheng with a pale face, "What else do you have to say?" Yes? Do you think you're doing a good job? Lin Changsheng wanted to pick up the cup and pound it on the ground, but the terrible movement was too loud for his son to hear, so he had to put it on the table fiercely, and the tea in it spilled out. Wen Shanniang made Lin Changsheng startled, shrunk her shoulders, and defended in a low voice, "Didn't I want that little girl to exchange the land for us?" "Change? You said it nicely, have you told people about it? No. Besides, if you exchange those three acres of rotten land for two acres of good paddy fields, aren't you afraid that the villagers will say that you are bullying a child who has no father and no mother? Do you want our family to be embarrassed by you? Collect those careful thoughts that can't be put on the table as soon as possible. Lin Chang gasped angrily. It's just a little girl, she dares to say anything, she is not obedient at this time, and she didn't say a word when she lost something. Wen Shanniang said disapprovingly, she still didn't take Lin Zhu in her eyes. A little girl? A little girl asked the village chief to come to you for her, a little girl made me can't hold my head up in front of my cousin, a little girl asked the village chief to owe her a favor, not only him, but even our family surnamed Lin owes her a favor, I think you are not even as good as a little girl. Lin Changsheng took a sip of water and continued, "Do you know what Lu Dao is for, she didn't tell Lu in the village about Lu losing her crops?" It's not that I'm afraid, it's to give my cousin and sister-in-law face, I'm afraid that they will be embarrassed, and people will know that you did it that day. "How is this possible?" Wen Shanniang looked at Lin Changsheng in surprise, staring at him tightly as if she was afraid that he would lie to her, Lin Changsheng pointed to the hairpin on the table, "This is something that someone picked up in the field, as long as you ask in the village, you will know that it is your thing, is it unknown that you did it?" If Brother Changqing hadn't said that he would give her an explanation, I am afraid that you would have been drowned by the spittle of the villagers. ”

Wen Shanniang, who was taught a lesson by Lin Changsheng, turned pale, sat down on the chair, and never had the joy of getting the hairpin back, looking at the hairpin, she wished that she had never appeared.

"You send 300 yuan to your sister-in-law tomorrow, and let your sister-in-law take you to the one named Lin Zhu." Lin Changsheng explained, "Send so much, the rice I took didn't even have twenty catties." "Wen Shanniang is not only distressed about money, but now she regrets it so much." Many? How much is your hairpin worth? People have sent you back, which means that you didn't take the money in your eyes, and what you want is an explanation, you go and pay her a good compensation. Under the pressure of Lin Changsheng, Wen Shanniang had to agree.
