Chapter 84: Leveraging Strength
"It's your child."
"He's not!"
"You're a pot-bellied woman in this room, where did you get your second child?"
The big guys in the room were all persuading, but Zhang Qiufen didn't want to admit it, and insisted: "No, I can't be stupid, I can't!" ”
The apprentices persuaded a few words and then did not persuade.
It's almost three days, and it's really difficult to watch this night.
Everyone left, leaving only the village woman who had just given birth to cry and howl in the house.
She had just given birth to a child, and all the strength of her body was exhausted, and she screamed for a while to see that no one paid attention to her, and looked down at the stupid baby lying by the bed, and hesitated, but still sent him to her chest to feed.
"Alas, poor little thing, you are a fool, no one wants you...... Poor me, such a kind daughter from a good family, was robbed of her child...... Poor little thing......"
She hummed a sleep song softly, and the silly baby smiled innocently, not giving any response.
……
Two hours later, the sky was slightly bright.
"Oh no, no, no! Grandpa Zhao, there were thieves in the house and stole all the eighty taels of silver we had saved with great difficulty! ”
The little girl cried and cried, waking up the Lizheng family.
Zhao Lizheng's little grandson was not yet a full moon, and when he heard the voice, he cried loudly, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the house.
"Ouch, who's who? Stop shouting! ”
Zhao Li put on his clothes and came to the courtyard, and saw the little girl in the Tang family's broken house kneeling down to him and kowtowing again and again.
"Grandpa Zhao, you have to call the shots for us! Yesterday all three of us were helping out in the infirmary...... Didn't even go home...... As a result, the result ...... The door was kicked and broken, the treasure chest was smashed, and the silver inside was gone...... Woowoo woo ......"
"Ouch girl, you get up first, don't worry, talk slowly!"
The young lady actually looked at Zhao Lizheng's fair and majestic face, and she was very scared, and she couldn't cry. can recall what Mrs. Tang did to them in the past, and then think about the mess in the broken house now, tears rained down.
She was anxious about what Tang and Rou had explained to her, and cried: "I can't help but be in a hurry!" Grandpa, the thief must still be in the village, but don't let anyone go! ”
Zhao Li was looking at her suspiciously, telling if she was lying.
He didn't believe that Qingyu Village would enter the thieves at all.
Every household in the village has a dog, and anyone who approaches it will bark wildly.
After the farm is busy, there are strong men patrolling at night to protect the peace of the village, and if this thief enters the village, he will definitely arouse alarm.
And this thief didn't steal the rich household, but went to the broken house in the north of the village and cut down the treasure chest of these three children, which makes no sense!
But the three children in the broken house have always been well-behaved in his impression, and these two sisters are even more humble and polite. It was early in the morning, and such a poor little child was so helpless, it didn't look like a fake.
Li Zheng thought for a while, sent someone to the entrance of the village immediately, stopped all the ox carts and carriages, and followed the young lady to the broken house to check the "crime scene".
As a result, the villagers who went to work in the county seat were also stopped.
The crowd didn't know what was going on, so they gathered at the door of Lizheng's house to ask for an explanation, but they were told that they had gone to the broken house, so they also went to the broken house.
The big guy didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was really shocked when he saw it.
If this house is in chaos like this, it is sure to be a thief!
The villagers were simple and very righteous, so they put down their tools and went into the yard and house to help the young lady give advice.
"This footprint is messy and there are a lot of people. But the footprint was small, as if it were a woman's. ”
"How many people are coming? It's a bit too bold. ”
"It's disgusting to cut all the treasure chests like this, and use an axe from a broken house!"
When the Tang family entered the house to "collect evidence", they also came to the broken house one after another, looking at each other.
They remember that they didn't snatch the silver yesterday, and they were scared away by the crazy uncle, why did they really lose the silver at this time?
They were a little panicked, but they didn't dare to jump out and explain, so they all waited to see what things would become.
Zhao Li was driving the enthusiastic villagers out of the courtyard and looked down at the footprints.
He already had the answer in his mind, but he didn't want to think about it.
He was even more willing to believe that it was done by outsiders than the people in the village.
But if it was really the Tang family who did it, then they had to be reprimanded well.
Someone with good deeds told Tang and Rou Dou'er in the hospital about the broken house and theft, and also brought Yang Mian's apprentice. The apprentice confirmed that the three children did work in the hospital last night, helping him deliver the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family.
Tang and Rou ran back from a distance, her face was a little tired because she had stayed up late, and her arms were still tied with bandages, and the blood seeping from them had dried up.
"Is this money really gone?" She clasped the young lady's shoulder, "That's the silver we borrowed hard to buy gouache for Jing Gongzi!" ”
Zhao Lizheng's expression was awe-inspiring: "Jing Gongzi? What's the matter with Jing Gongzi?! ”
The villagers also started talking.
Many village women who came to see the excitement did not leave the village, and they didn't know where Jing Gongzi was, so they asked others: "Who is Jing Gongzi?" ”
"He is the adopted son of the county guard, and I heard that he is the son of the prince of Ji, and his status is very expensive. I studied in a private school in the county seat. ”
"Ouch, how did the three girls of the Tang family climb such a nobleman?"
Tang Yourou listened to everyone's discussions, so he told the truth about his coming to pitch pots: "That day, Jing Gongzi came to play in front of my pitching stall, and when he was happy, he threw a lot of silver. He was so good at accuracy that he won many times in a row, and lost all our bottom money. But there must always be integrity in setting up a stall, and you can't be greedy for him just because Jing Gongzi is a young master from a rich family. We made an appointment to deliver gouache to his mansion after we got into Kaejo......"
The villagers praised her as a sincere child.
Tang Yourou continued to work artistically: "For this reason, I scraped together and borrowed a lot of silver...... Didn't expect ......"
Someone asked, "Aren't you earning three taels with ten sticks?" ”
"That's right, didn't the three of you sisters and brothers make a lot of money in the county?"
Tang Yourou's face was slightly embarrassed, and he hurriedly denied it: "Where did you say this?" If it's three or two, who would dare to try their luck like this? Ten sticks are only three dollars, at the beginning there were few people who came, and everyone was not good at the beginning, but although there were many people who came yesterday, there were many people who won prizes. The three of us are just making a meager ration to survive the winter. ”
After listening to her answer, the Tang family's faces changed. Mrs. Tang cursed Song Ming in a low voice.
She is now more and more aware that Song Ming is also a troublemaker, the second child obviously said that the three disaster stars make less money, she has to say that people are three taels of silver and ten signatures, and their business is crazy.
This is reasonable, just three stinky little hairy children, and they are all full of bad luck, how can they make a lot of money?!
