Chapter Twenty-Four: Two Cows

This fat-headed, big-eared man was originally a landowner in the vicinity, surnamed Wu. It's just that these days the affairs of Su Xiaoya's family are really rumored, and the landlord of Wu is a person who loves money like his life, he saw that Su Xiaoya was able to make so much money, and he was not happy at the moment, so he said that he would steal Su Xiaoya's rabbit back, and sell it outside, and the money he earned back would be his own.

The thin man was the housekeeper of the landlord of Wu, and when he saw that the landlord of Wu was so bound to win, the housekeeper also laughed.

That night, Su Xiaoya went to bed early, because she had already strengthened the fence on the farm, Su Xiaoya felt that no one should come to her farm to steal rabbits now, after all, this kind of person who does not have long eyes is still very rare.

Landlord Wu sent a housekeeper to Su Xiaoya's farm to steal rabbits, but it was the first time for the housekeeper to do this kind of thing, so it was inevitable that he was a little flustered. And Erniu, who had been hiding near Su Xiaoya's farm and didn't leave, happened to see the sneaky figure of the housekeeper and rushed up directly.

"What do you say? You didn't bring back a single rabbit? Landlord Wu looked at his most trusted subordinate in annoyance, but he really didn't expect him to be so useless.

The butler said with a frightened face: "Master! I...... Accidentally pushed a guy ......"

"If you push it, you push it, what does it have to do with me? Now the most important thing is that you didn't steal the rabbit, you know? That's the most important thing! Landlord Wu shouted angrily at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper still had some palpitations, he could still think of the frightened look of Erniu when he accidentally pushed Er Niu down just now, he didn't know if Er Niu was still alive, if he died, would he be beheaded?

But the housekeeper is very aware of his master's temperament, if he lets the landlord of Wu know that he has killed someone, the landlord of Wu will not only not cover it up for him, but will directly drive him out and let him fend for himself.

The housekeeper thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to say a word, as if nothing had happened.

When Su Xiaoya got up the next day, she only felt that there was some noise outside, but she didn't care. When Su Xiaoya went home for dinner, Lin told Su Xiaoya that it turned out that Erniu was missing.

"I heard that I had a quarrel with Aunt Li yesterday and ran out directly, such a big person, I didn't know how to come back when I ran out, and Aunt Li was in a hurry." The Lin family has always been soft-hearted, even if Aunt Li quarreled with her like yesterday, the Lin family would not hold a grudge against Aunt Li.

Su Xiaoya picked up a piece of meat and put it in Lin's bowl and said: "Erniu is so big, he must be clear in his heart what to do and what not to do, maybe he wants to go out and calm down, and then go back when Aunt Li's anger is gone?" Aunt Li, you also know that temperamental girl. ”

Aunt Li made such a big fuss in front of their house yesterday that the whole village knew about it.

Lin could only nod and sigh.

After three days like this, just when everyone thought that Erniu ran away from home because he was quarreled with Aunt Li, I don't know which man came back from the mountain and brought back Erniu's body.

The corpse already smelled of decay, and it looked like it didn't die after falling off the cliff, but it only had its last breath left, and no one found out that it had died under the cliff.

Su Xiaoya listened to the villagers talk about the tragic situation of Erniu, and felt a little unbearable.

"I heard that when I came back, my whole body was rotten, and the bones on my body were broken!"

"What a pitiful thing to see, what a good young man these two cows are! I still thought that he and the girl of the Su family would not be able to do anything, so I introduced the daughter of my cousin's family in the next village to Erniu! ”

"What a sin! Tell me who this Erniu offended and why did he die so miserably? ”

Su Xiaoya was shocked in her heart, what she heard from these people should be that this Erniu accidentally fell from under the cliff, but it was not discovered in time, so he lost his breath.

Although she had a little unpleasant quarrel with Aunt Li just a few days ago, Su Xiaoya did not resent Erniu or Aunt Li in her heart, but she just felt that the fate of the two families was not enough, and she and Erniu would not become husband and wife after all.

Seeing that such an honest young man who had been in contact with her suddenly lost his name and lost his life, Su Xiaoya was suddenly a little upset, and felt that her chest was a little blocked.

Su Xiaoya hurried home, and as soon as she entered the house, the Lin family pounced directly on Su Xiaoya: "Aya! ”

The Lin family screamed very miserably, and Su Xiaoya thought that Wang Cui and the Xiao family had come to bully the Lin family again.

"Aya! Now the people in the village say that Erniu's death has something to do with you...... You, why don't you go out and hide? Lin looked at Su Xiaoya with tears on her face, she was reluctant to let Su Xiaoya go, but she didn't want to see Su Xiaoya being wronged.

Su Xiaoya shook her head, and as early as after she knew about Erniu, she dreamed that someone would definitely be rumored like this: "Mother, do you believe that I didn't kill Erniu, and it has nothing to do with Erniu's death?" ”

Lin Shi opened her hazy eyes and nodded, Su Xiaoya is her daughter, of course she believes in Su Xiaoya. It's just that now it's all outside that Su Xiaoya deliberately pushed Erniu off the cliff, because Aunt Li made trouble at the door of her house for a while a few days ago, so the two families formed a feud.

Su Xiaoya was a little helpless, these villagers are sometimes too ignorant, and they obviously have nothing to do with this matter, but they can just give you a little relationship. It's as if the lion and the tiger are not the same animal, but as long as the villagers want to, then they can come up with all the reasons to prove that the tiger and the lion were one family for the first 500 years.

"Mother, don't be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with me, no matter what they say, I still have a clear conscience. Even if it was to the prefectural magistrate, I was innocent. Su Xiaoya persuaded the Lin family softly, but she was still a little worried in her heart.

Although the county magistrate doesn't know why he suddenly takes care of himself now, Su Xiaoya understands that once these lives are involved, I am afraid that the county magistrate will not be able to save himself.

Seeing Su Xiaoya's clear conscience, Lin was about to say something, but he heard a sudden noise at the door, crying and shouting, and he didn't know what he was making trouble.

Su Xiaoya's face sank, she had already guessed that since there could be such a rumor in the village, presumably Aunt Li would definitely say that Erniu was killed by herself, and she would definitely come back to trouble herself.

Su Xiaoya arranged the Lin family in the room, walked out by herself, and sure enough, she saw Aunt Li bringing a large group of people to the door of her house, and Er Niu's body was carried on the two big men behind Aunt Li.

"Aunt Li, if your son dies, why don't you bury him quickly, what are you going to do?" Su Xiaoya frowned and looked at Aunt Li, Erniu died, and she, a mother, should hurry up and put her son into the ground, but Aunt Li looked unrelenting, as if she wanted to make herself come up with a result.

Aunt Li stood at the door of Su Xiaoya's house with her waist pinched, and shouted loudly: "Su Xiaoya, I know that you killed our family's second cow and pushed him to the bottom of the cliff, you are a murderer now, don't you have a bad conscience at all?" ”

Su Xiaoya laughed, speaking of her conscience, isn't Aunt Li, a mother, also indifferent? Otherwise, how could he carry his son's body to the door of her house in the first place, instead of quickly letting Erniu be buried in the ground?

"Aunt Li, you keep saying that I killed Erniu, do you have any evidence? Or do you just want to use Erniu's death as a blackmail and want to extort something from me? Su Xiaoya said unhurriedly, she had seen many people like Aunt Li who wanted to use the last bit of interest of their relatives to seek the greatest benefit for themselves.

Aunt Li immediately glared at Su Xiaoya and scolded: "Su Xiaoya, you little slut, you are ruthless and pushed my second cow off the cliff, how can you have the face to say these things?" Today I came to ask you to give an explanation to my family, and also to give my family an explanation! In front of so many folks, I want to see what you have to say! ”

Su Xiaoya frowned and looked at Aunt Li, she didn't know what was going on with Erniu at all, this Aunt Li could actually push Erniu's death onto herself.

"Aunt Li, no matter what you say today, or how people go outside to slander me, Erniu was not killed by me, if you don't believe me, there is no way, but since you say that I am a murderer, then I have to let you come up with evidence, or we will go to the county magistrate together and make it clear." Su Xiaoya looked coldly at the indignant villagers around her, obviously she had nothing to do with her, but these villagers really splashed dirty water on her body regardless of it.

Aunt Li sneered, and no longer aggressive, just pointed at Su Xiaoya with her finger and said, "Do you think that no one knows about the person you are doing?" Erniu's body was found near your farm, do you dare to say that Erniu's death has nothing to do with you? ”

Su Xiaoya frowned, Erniu's body was found near her farm? She didn't know about it, and if Erniu had an accident near her farm, she should be able to hear it! How come you don't know anything?

Su Xiaoya thought of the honest Erniu, who would blush when she talked to herself, and was about to cry after being rejected by herself, Su Xiaoya felt uncomfortable in her heart.

But Su Xiaoya's discomfort is really weak and regretful for Erniu's death in Aunt Li's opinion.
