Chapter 100: Unity is Strength
Two old and one young, kneeling opposite each other, crying sadly.
"This Chen family kid is clever. Isn't he doing well now? I just pity the cripple Chen, but he went into the cell, I am afraid that he will fall off a layer of skin, maybe he will be sent to that remote place. I heard that there were many poisonous insects, the forest was deep and dense, and there was poisonous gas, and the man did not eat food. Aunt Li chattered again.
A few of the surrounding village women sounded strange.
"If you don't eat food, what do you eat?"
"Cannibalism." Aunt Li has a sense of accomplishment, which she also heard from the old man in her own house, she always has more knowledge when she runs a restaurant, and occasionally some news is something that the villagers have never heard.
Looking at the wide-eyed and surprised eyes of several women in the same village, Aunt Li was very satisfied.
Aunt Li has always had a loud voice, and Mrs. Chen's lame grandmother also heard it, and her face immediately turned white, which was even more unacceptable than that pawn.
If this is eaten, I am afraid that the bones will not be found.
"This can't be done, I'm just that one son, I can't be eaten like this. Filial piety, you can't do this. The old woman cried loudly, and this time, it was Chen Ping's voice that was suppressed.
When Aunt Li said those words, Chen Ping's mind gradually calmed down, and some were just irritable, and Aunt Li's mouth was too broken. Although it doesn't look very malicious, it's hard to say that it doesn't have a mind to watch a play.
It's like when the house runs out of water and is about to be extinguished, then a bundle of dry wood is added, and then the flame is rekindled on the sidelines.
"Auntie, it's not that I don't do this. But in case Chen Cripple is released and the thief is brought to the village, my family does not have much assets, but it is fine, but if someone raises chickens and ducks and let people steal them, what should I do? "It's really so that people cry for a couple of sentences, and let Chen Cripple go? Chen Ping can't do it, this nature is different from Chen Shun, Shunzi is stealing, not hurting anyone, Chen Cripple is equivalent to robbery, but it can kill people.
"This will not be the case, my son was taught in the old prison, and he will definitely not do this thing to hurt the villagers again." Seeing that Chen Ping was relieved, the old woman saw hope, and hurriedly said, "When he comes back, I will definitely ask him to come to the door to apologize, and I will also compensate you." ”
"I don't have much at home, so I'm not worried." Chen Ping looked up at Aunt Li, who pricked up her ears over there, and said hesitantly with a worried tone, "It's just that last time that Wan San said that listening to Chen Cripple's words, there are still people in the village who raise a lot of chickens and ducks, just by the river, saying that they will take it when they find an opportunity, and promised to share it equally with Chen Cripple." ”
That Wansan will definitely not be able to get out of prison, and he will not come back to clarify, Chen Ping doesn't mind putting some more hats on him, and by the way, he will also put Chen Cripple in.
In this way, Aunt Li standing in the corner of the house can no longer be stable, the river in Chen Ping's words, isn't this the group of ducks in her own house?
No wonder it is said that there will always be fewer after a while, I'm afraid it was also made by that Chen lame, right?
People are like this, once they are suspicious, they will get deeper and deeper, and a small action can cause more associations, Chen Cripple is not treated well in the village, and there are occasionally some sneaky habits, everyone is also clear.
It's just that because the money is not big, and most of them are small things, or pottery bowls, or brooms and the like, no one will say anything.
"I can't tell if the ducks that disappeared were stolen by Chen Cripple." A few days ago, Aunt Li and her son Chen Shanhu counted the ducks and found that there were two missing.
"No, if you don't believe it, eldest nephew, when my son comes back, I will let him follow you and help you, even if you are a slave of your family, as long as you talk a few words to the county lieutenant." Lao Lai learned that there was such a son, although the old woman knew that her son had some problems, and she would usually be annoyed, but if this was really sentenced, she would be very distressed.
It was a piece of flesh that fell out of the body, conceived and born in October, how could it not be heartbroken?
"It's cold on the ground, don't be typhoid fever. Auntie, Uncle Gen, you all get up, I will go to the county in two days and talk to County Lieutenant Li. However, Chen Cripple broke the law in the end, and I can't guarantee that County Lieutenant Li will let him go. Chen Ping didn't speak, and pulled the two up, "This compensation is wanted." ”
"As long as you can let my son out, even if you ask for my house, I will give it to you." The old woman is now concerned about her son, and she is willing to agree to any conditions.
It was an idle month, after such a fuss, except for some Ding Zhuang who had been sent out of the conscription, they all surrounded him, and even Chen Hecai actually put down the blacksmith work in his hand, stood aside, and watched.
There are a total of 100 people, old and young, but it is more lively than yesterday.
"Ping'er, they are all folks, don't pass it." Liu said behind the wall, afraid that his son would take advantage of the profit, hurt the harmony, and lose a bad reputation.
"Mother, don't worry, I know." Chen Ping nodded and looked around, so many people, just right.
To do good deeds is to leave a name, and prestige is also to be pulled up by people.
"I want this compensation, but it is not for me." Chen Ping's words attracted the eyes of the people who were whispering around him, "There are only forty families in my village, and in this area of more than ten miles, I am afraid it is also the smallest village." Because there are few people, Ding Zhuang is not much, and he is usually troubled by the neighboring village, and when the land is returned, it is even less divided, and he is always robbed by the Shangtu village. ”
"Do you folks know what's going on? Is it because Xue Xiong is in Shangtu Village? Yes, this is also a reason, but there is another reason, yesterday's incident, uncles and aunts also saw it. Chen Ping asked and answered himself, standing in the crowd, looking around, his eyes swept over the faces of the villagers, at this moment, he seemed to be standing on the construction site, facing the workers asking for wages, inspiring, "That Wansan, is the governor of the military government, and he also has a relationship in the county government, but what is the result?" Isn't it the same as being caught in a prison cell? ”
The truth of the matter will never be so satisfactory, but as long as it can achieve the effect, a little concealment is necessary.
Why is that? It was because we were united, and all the villagers stood in one place, accepting our request, which deeply moved County Lieutenant Li, and would rather endure Wan San's threat than punish him. Chen Ping continued to talk nonsense, and he was not afraid of these words reaching Li Yingxing's ears, "As long as all the villagers are united, there is nothing that cannot be done, even in the face of the arrogant Shangtu Village, we don't have to be afraid." ”
"Yes, that's right." The old man in the village agreed, "In the first two years, I said that I was going to give my family's land, but I let Shangtu Village take it away. ”
"My family is like this, the half acre of land last year was divided into Shangtu Village, which is separated by four or five miles of road, and the grabbing of the field actually came here."
The crowd was indignant, apparently accumulating resentment against Shangtu Village.
"As a few uncles and elders said, Shangtu Village bullies people too much, so we must unite in order not to be oppressed by others." Chen Ping couldn't let people pull this topic too far, so he deviated from his purpose, and returned to the conversation, "But how can we unite?" ”
