Li Qi broke a branch and slipped down from the tree, "Fourth brother, this branch has obvious traces of being picked, and I also found other people's footprints on the tree." Li Qi handed the broken branch to the old man, "Dad, you look at it and it will be clear." ”

The old man was worthy of being a veteran of farming, and after just one glance, he concluded that the red fruit had been stolen, and the time was not long, "Boss, second brother, you go around the garden to see if there is any such situation." ”

It is a matter of interests, Li Fu and Li Gui began to check without saying a word, Zhang and Zhao also joined the ranks, the garden is not big, the four of them quickly checked it, and there are three trees that have been picked up, and there are a total of four trees that have been discovered at the earliest.

Lin Xue noticed that Li Ping's expression had been wrong, especially when she heard the news that several other trees had been picked up, her legs began to tremble, and Lin Xue became more and more sure that Li Ping did it, but she didn't know why Li Ping went to be a thief, and it was hard to forget the fate of that girl.

"Dad, this thief must find out, the red fruits produced by the four trees are almost a hundred catties, this is a few taels of silver, and it can't be cheapened for nothing." Li Fu cursed on the side, "If I find him, I have to chop off his hand, damn thief." ”

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you, your face is so big, and you're not feeling well." Lin Xue asked with concern.

Li Ping walked a few words, his stiff body softened a little, but his face was still pale, "I'm fine, it's too hot today and I'm a little heat stroke." "One accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

"It's fine." Li Qi stretched out his hand to help, but Li Ping avoided as if he had been electrocuted, probably sensing his abnormality, and explained, "My daughter-in-law can help me, don't bother the third brother." ”

Bai Fen quickly rushed over to help him up in Li Ping's expectant eyes, patted the soil off his clothes and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong may be too tired these days, go back and sleep and be fine." ”

"Fourth, then you can go back." The old man said, "Your three brothers are here and there are enough people, so you can go back and rest for a while." ”

Li Ping nodded, and walked back slowly with Bai Fen's support.

"Dad, what should we do about this, we can't lose it in vain." Li Fu was heartbroken, and the silver in vain was lost by accident.

The old man thought for a while, "Forget about what you lost before, from today onwards, someone must guard this place day and night, and you can't let the thief pick it up anymore." ”

"Dad, I have a way, maybe I can find that thief." Zhao said.

"Oh, let's hear it." The old man is interested, and of course it would be better to find it.

Zhao stood up, "The one who stole the red fruit must have been sold, and now the only one who can make red fruit is the dim sum shop in the town, let's just ask to know who stole it." ”

"Second sister-in-law, what if that person didn't sell it." Lin Xue frowned, "Moreover, our family's red fruit has no mark, even if we catch that person and don't admit it, we can't do anything." ”

"No, we have bought all the red fruit fields, and there are no other places at all." Zhao looked at the old man, "Dad, this is also a way, even if we don't have evidence, as long as we know who that person is, we can take precautions in advance in the future." ”

The old man pondered for a while, "The second daughter-in-law is right, this is how to do this, boss, you will go to the town with your daughter-in-law in a while, and ask the boss if he has been selling red fruits recently, and he is walking around, maybe that person will sell them somewhere else." ”

The old man considered it more comprehensively, although it was said that the red fruit production method was only sold to one family, but who knows if others would do it, now the red fruit business is so good, there must be people who are greedy.

"Dad, don't worry if I go out, I will definitely find out that thief." Li Fu swore a promise.

After arranging things, Li Fu and Zhang put down their work and went to the town, and the others continued to pick red fruits, and suddenly there were four fewer people, and the efficiency was reduced a lot, Lin Xue was like a hard-working little bee and kept picking up the red fruits on the ground and pouring them into the sack.

It was getting dark, Lin Xue was worried that Li Qi would step on the air, so he called him down and picked up the red fruits on the ground together, the old man saw it and said that today is the end of it, and he will continue to pick it tomorrow, Li Qi and Li Gui tied up the sack and put it on the ox cart, a total of five sacks, after putting it down, there can be a person sitting on the car, Lin Xue asked the old man to sit on it, and he and the others walked back.

Everyone was tired and hungry when they returned home, they thought they could eat delicious meals, who knew that the cold pot and cold stove in the kitchen were not even hot food, Lin Xue looked at the cold water in the tank, and didn't care if it was clean, so she scooped a spoonful and poured it into her mouth, and the cold water made Lin Xue's whole body feel much more comfortable.

Li Gui kicked open the door of the upper room and shouted, "Mother, why don't you cook, I'm dying of hunger." ”

Wang was collecting the soles of his shoes, and when he heard Li Gui's words, he didn't raise his head and replied, "If you want to eat, let your daughter-in-law do it, no matter how old you are, you still need your wife to serve you." ”

Zhao Shi was dissatisfied when he heard this, "Mother, you mean that you can't cook for you after a day's work, even if your mother is too old to work, then Duo'er can always cook, they are not young, our family is not in a position to raise two daughters." ”

"Second sister-in-law, it's not your turn to call the shots in our family, my mother hasn't said anything, and you don't go out to take care of it, seeing that you don't have the blessing to eat my cooking." Li Yue has become more and more invincible since she was injured, except for the old man, anyone dares to choke twice.

Zhao Shi trembled with anger, and said without words, "I'm your sister-in-law, and I have something that my mother doesn't teach." ”

"Afraid", Zhao was hit by the thing thrown over, covered his beaten forehead and looked over, the sole of Wang's hand was gone, and he sat there and looked at Zhao mockingly, "The second daughter-in-law, I have a long ability, what is there to have a mother and not a mother, you and I are a dead man." ”

Zhao Shi knelt down with a plop, "Mother, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry, I don't dare anymore." ”

Wang's anger did not subside, "Why don't you dare, dare to scold my daughter in person, and you don't know how to curse me behind your back." ”

"Mother, I didn't, I really didn't, I was in a hurry just now, I really didn't have a heart." Zhao knocked his head on the ground.

"What's the fuss about?" The old man walked in and asked puzzled.

"Dad, tell your mother, I didn't mean to scold her." Zhao is like grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Okay, get up, we don't have such big rules in our family." Glaring at Wang, "You can't stop for a day." ”

Wang was a little afraid of the old man, so he shrunk his neck and muttered in a low voice, "It's not what she picked first, the old immortal knows about me." ”
