Chapter 898: Do You Still Have a Conscience?
Zhou Li saw the attitude of the village chief, what else did he not understand?
This is a clear indication that he doesn't want to return the grain and wants to swallow it privately!
"Village Chief, how can you do this?" Zhou Li saw that the village chief had closed the door, he was anxious and angry, and slammed the door fiercely and shouted: "I can't open the pot at home, my father and mother are still waiting for me to take the grain back to cook and eat, and now you have swallowed all the food in our family, don't you want to force our family to death?" Village Chief, open the door! Hurry up and return my food! ”
The more Zhou Li spoke, the more angry he became, and when he saw that the village chief still refused to open the door, he raised his foot and kicked on the door.
This movement was not small, and the people who lived nearby heard it and surrounded them curiously.
"Zhou Li, how dare you kid come to the door of the village chief's house to spread wildness, beat and kick at the door, aren't you afraid that the village chief will punish you?"
"No matter what, he is also your elder, how can he be so nonsense? If there is something that can't be said well, you have to make such a fierce fuss and make him anxious, he will punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall, and he will whip you with a rattan! You kid, I usually see that you are a stable character, why are you so nonsense now? ”
A few older people, seeing that Zhou Li was making a lot of trouble, couldn't help but step forward to persuade a few words.
Zhou Li was already aggrieved in his heart, and when he saw that the people in the village were indiscriminate, he came over to say such a thing, and his eyes were suddenly red with anger.
He clenched his trembling fists, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "You think I want to make such a fuss? If the village chief hadn't taken more than 400 catties of grain from my family and refused to return it to me, would I have knocked on his door here? I don't have a grain of rice at home now, and if I don't have food, my father and mother and I will starve to death! ”
Hearing Zhou Li's words, the people next to him were surprised and curious, and asked, "The village chief took more than 400 catties of grain from your family?" When did you hear about it, why haven't you heard anyone talk about it? By the way, wasn't your family's grain secretly sold by your father and mother, why do you still have more than 400 catties? ”
"That's right, the whole village knows about your father and mother selling grain. Don't they hide from you and secretly carry out the grain and sell it, and deliberately lie to you that you will lend the grain to the village chief, right? Don't make trouble here, go home and find your father and mother to ask about the matter! Don't get the village chief wrong in the end. The village chief's family has more than 10 acres of paddy fields, and his family's rice harvest this year is not bad, and he sold a lot of grain some time ago. Besides, even if he wants to borrow grain, he will definitely not go to your family to borrow it, who doesn't know that your family has burned a crop! ”
The person next to him led the question to Zhou Li's father and mother in a few words.
Zhou Li was so angry that his face turned white, "It's true that my father and mother secretly sold food, but they didn't sell it out, and the remaining more than 400 catties were locked up by me." I was thinking that I might not be able to sell the grain at home, so I asked the village chief to help me collect the grain, and I would ask him for it when there was no food ration at home. He had promised to do so at the time, but when I came to him today to ask for food, he turned his face and denied it......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Li couldn't help choking up and said: "Before my brother left Zhangshu Village, he asked the village chief to take care of us, but I never expected the village chief to 'take care' like this. At that time, the whole village, including the village chief, said that my brother was a great benefactor of the whole village and wanted to repay my brother, but now you treat your benefactor's father and brother like this, do you still have a conscience? ”
