Chapter 40: Found It
Lin Zhu walked on the way home, thinking about who was the culprit along the way. First of all, the owner of the silver hairpin is very suspicious, and nine times out of ten she did it. Seeing that the style of the silver hairpin was worn by a woman, Lin Zhu couldn't figure out which way he provoked the gods to get such treatment even if he broke his head. I've only been walking around the village for a month or two, and I rarely don't say it, and I've only rushed to the market twice, and I've only seen a few people, and I don't have a chance to grudge with people, and no one looks at her unpleasantly, but there are a lot of people who inquire about her situation, and many people know about the relationship between Steward Lin and her before. Thinking of Steward Lin, Lin Zhu felt that it was because Steward Lin was too popular in Linjia Village and attracted her hatred, but it was not right to think about it, Steward Lin was low-key in Linjia Village, and he did not interact with others except for the village chief's family.
Lin Zhu carefully recalled the people she met when she walked around the village, except for the one named Wen Shanniang who was called Wen Shanniang when she was in the market last time because she returned to the meeting place late and spoke a little unpleasantly, no one else had ever had a knot, but last time she apologized, she would still keep this little idea in her heart.
Lin Zhu, who had been thinking for a long time and had no clue, just walked with his head bored, and suddenly was patted on the shoulder from behind, and Lin Zhu, who was startled, turned his head to look, Ruyu was looking at her with a smile, "What are you thinking, you didn't even see me when I came to you." "Xiaoyu, you scared me, where are you going?" Because he was interrupted by Ruyu's beat, Lin Zhu had no choice but to let go of his thoughts. "I'm not going anywhere, I'll come out and say hello when I see you pass by my door." "Oh, aren't you going to the fields today?" Lin Zhu put down his back and stood on the side of the road with Ruyu to talk. "After noon, I don't want to meet the second aunt, her house is next to my house, I always listen to her nagging, I don't like to listen, she always wants her daughter Xiaoli to play with me, I don't like to play with her." Lin Zhu smiled and listened to Ruyu say how Xiaoli pestered people, how she was rude, how she loved to take advantage of her mother, in a word, she didn't like this Xiaoli cousin. "Isn't your house next to mine next to each other? Why is her land next to yours? Lin Zhu had some inspiration in his mind, but he was too quick to grasp it, "Your land is right in the middle of the two of us, and in some places my house and my second aunt's house are connected, so our two families are next to each other." Ruyu's words made Lin Zhu's fleeting inspiration just now find some direction, and before he could think about the connection, he heard Ruyu say: "I heard my father and mother say that she wanted to change your piece of land, but I don't know how the road was changed to the most, and my father and mother didn't say much, this is what I overheard, don't talk outside, my father and mother won't let me talk nonsense outside, let them know that they are going to spank my ass." Lin Zhu smiled, "Don't worry, I definitely won't say it." ”
It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, Ruyu's words, not only let Lin Zhu find out who the thief is, but also learned why the village chief is embarrassed to talk about it, she doesn't blame the village chief for not saying it, after all, he has no evidence, and it is not disgraceful to say that he found out that his cousin and sister may be thieves. Don't say that Lin Zhu now has the handle of the second aunt who is in Ruyu's mouth, that is, Lin Changsheng's mother-in-law Wen Shanniang, even if she doesn't, she believes that the village chief will deal with it impartially.
What Lin Zhu didn't expect was that there was such a thing, Wen Shanniang wanted to exchange land with Steward Lin, it must be unreasonable to change it, I heard Ruyu say that she is a person who loves to take advantage, maybe the price offered was too small to be rejected by Steward Lin. I have to say the truth about Lin Zhu.
After saying goodbye to Ruyu, Lin Zhu returned to his home. In the morning, the bad mood in the field also improved, and I was in a happy mood to prepare lunch.
At this time, Wen Shanniang, who was working in her own field, was depressed, and last night she took advantage of the fact that no one in the field picked up some rice from Lin Zhu's field, one is that Lin Zhu is just a lone child, even if she suffers a loss, she will not dare to speak out, and the other is that she wants to take advantage of Lin Zhu's lack of support to exchange her two acres now. But I didn't expect that when I got up in the morning, I found that a good silver hairpin was lost, maybe it fell in the field of Lin Zhu's house. When I arrived in the field early in the morning, I wanted to go to Lin Zhu's field to look for it, but her helper Wang Shudun and his son had already arrived, and the village chief Lin Changqing also went over to talk to them, although she couldn't hear what was said, but she was weak-hearted, afraid that they would find out about the loss of rice, so she didn't dare to step forward, and after a while Lin Zhu also arrived, and the five of them talked for a while, and finally waited until Lin Zhu and the village chief were gone, and they didn't see a few people who claimed to have lost the rice, thinking that they hadn't found it yet. I also relaxed a lot. I thought I'd wait a while and find an excuse to look in the fields.
She didn't expect that not only the village chief but even Lin Zhu knew that someone had stolen it, and targeted her, if she knew it, she would definitely not dare to think about going to the ground to find the silver hairpin, because Wang Shudun and his son were also waiting for rabbits in the field.
Wenshan Niang, who thought she was hiding it very well, found Wang Shudun and said that she wanted to drink water under an excuse, and when she drank water, her eyes swept around on the ground, seeing her like this, not only Wang Shudun, but even Wang Lin and Wang Sen brothers saw her strangeness. Under the incomprehensible eyes of the Wang family's father and son, she had no choice but to leave.
After she left, the father and son of the Wang family exchanged glances, but Wang Lin still couldn't hold back, "Dad, is it her?" Wang Shudun glanced at him, "Don't guess, wait for the little bamboo girl to make a decision." This is equivalent to admitting Wang Lin's speculation, but before he could be happy, he was hit by his younger brother, "Second brother, I can't see this thing, you and my father are the same as you." His brother's compassionate eyes made Wang Lin very angry, but he was really not as smart as his younger brother, "Second brother, you can't show it now, how do you say that sentence, what kind of grass and what kind of snake is called?" Wang Shudun reminded his youngest son on the side, "Yes, it's just to startle the snake, you will say it to your son," Wang Sen snorted in the direction of Wen Shanniang, "Let her know the truth, and it will be bad for her to bite back when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I know the truth, am I the one who doesn't know the severity," Wang Lin also understood at this time. So the three of them still stepped up their work with their heads bowed. When it was almost noon, the rice in the field was almost tied, and the part that had been left was left behind, which was inadvertently left by the father and son of the Wang family. Seeing that it was almost done, Wang Shudun took his three sons to the ground to drink saliva, and rested for a while, "This land is almost finished today, and I will ask Miss Xiaozhu later, if you want to get it home." "Dad, what should I do when I thresh, the big guys are all doing it on the threshing floor, does her house have such a big place?" Wang Sen asked on the side.
