By the time the two old ladies in the village who usually participated in the voting on clan affairs came over, Liu Wuxiu had already cleaned up Zhou Lili and them.

In front of the two old ladies, Zhou Yuandong told Zhou Lili that they robbed Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu in the afternoon, killed Zhou Yuangeng's two younger brothers, and killed and injured Zhou Yuangeng.

Next, he looked at Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong and asked, "Great hero, Dayong, how did you catch Zhou Lili and them?" ”

Zhou Dayong thought for a while, turned his head to Zheng Bang and said, "Brother Zheng, I only arrived at Xujia Village later, and I don't know some things, so it's up to you to talk to the patriarch about this matter." ”

"Okay." Zheng Bang did not give in, and immediately explained the matter in detail from beginning to end.

Among them, they only ignored the fact that the money bags were found from Zhou Lili and them, as well as the four daggers, which were stained with human blood later.

Zhou Yuandong listened carefully, discussed with the two old ladies, and said: "Since Zhou Lili and several of them have found the bloody clothes and murder weapons of the murder, and the evidence is conclusive, then there is no need for us to interrogate them again." ”

"At the beginning of tomorrow morning, I will borrow the other two ox carts in the village in advance, the four of you, the great hero, the great brave, the great wisdom daughter-in-law, and the kind of daughter-in-law, and then join me at that time, call a few clansmen and the families of the brothers of the Yuangeng family, take Zhou Lili and his three cousins, as well as the bloody clothes and murder weapons they killed, take the ox cart, and go to the county seat to report the case together, please know the county master, and punish them severely!"

"Okay." Chu Yunniang, Liu Wuxiu, and Zhou Dayong agreed in unison.

Only Zheng Bang said slightly apologetically: "Patriarch, report the case, as long as there are victims, it is enough." I am from the rivers and lakes, and I have never liked to deal with the government, so this time, I can't go with you. ”

"Including the fact that I caught Zhou Lili and them, you don't need to mention it to the magistrate, just say that the clansmen caught them together. If he has to ask, you tell him that in the process of arresting him, you met a master passing by and helped you. ”

"Okay." Zheng Bang said very reasonably, Zhou Yuandong didn't think much about it, and readily agreed.

When I got home, it was the end of my day.

Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu had already prepared the meal and heated it in the pot.

At this time, they all took it out.

They are boiled fish, stir-fried cabbage, and stewed chicken thighs with astragalus.

Among them, there are four large chicken thighs in the stewed chicken thighs with astragalus.

Xiao Qiongzhi remembered that she had discussed with them a long time ago and gave all the four chickens in the family to Zhou Yuangeng's family.

She pointed to the stewed chicken leg with astragalus and asked curiously, "Mother, Aunt Liu, where did this chicken leg come from?" ”

Liu Wuxiu replied: "Your grandfather Yuangeng's daughter-in-law, Aunt Wu, stewed it and sent it over in person." She said, your grandfather Yuangeng doesn't like to eat chicken legs, and when her family kills chickens to make up for your grandfather Yuangeng in the future, she will send the chicken legs over to Dayong, you, dogs, and stones to eat, and each person eats one. ”

"How much meat can be left of a chicken, apart from four chicken legs of this size? What's more, Mother, Aunt Liu, and Grandma Wu's family also have children, such as Da Niu, Shishan, peaches, pears, and apricots, and they are also children. ”

"We can't eat these chicken legs, put the bowl away, and when we're done, you can send it back." After Xiao Qiongzhi finished speaking, he brought the bowl of stewed chicken thighs with astragalus to the five-drawer cabinet next to him.

The two pairs of eyes of the main dog and the stone have long been staring at the chicken legs, if they don't leave, I'm afraid that they will eat the chicken legs immediately, lest Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu listen to their words and don't allow them to eat.

"We also know what you said, but your grandmother Wu insisted on giving us the chicken legs, and said that if we didn't accept them, she would return the remaining three chickens, so we had to accept them." Chu Yunniang was worried about this matter, and said helplessly.

Xiao Qiongzhi shook his head: "Don't blame many people, mother, you don't have to worry, just return it." When you see Grandma Wu later, you tell her that if Grandpa Yuangeng doesn't like to eat chicken legs, you can cut the meat on the chicken legs into minced meat and make it for him to eat. ”

Then you remind her that there have been robbers in the village, and that one day there may be robbers again. Grandpa Yuan Geng must make up for his body well, and he has chicken to eat every day, so that his body can recover as soon as possible. ”

"We're still waiting to see Grandpa Yuangeng, and next time we'll fight robbers with everyone!"

"Okay, then do as you say." Chu Yunniang felt that what Xiao Qiongzhi said was very reasonable, and Aunt Wu might listen to it and hurriedly expressed her position.

Shi immediately became anxious, and glared at Xiao Qiongzhi fiercely: "Zhi'er, you are really unrighteous!" Knowing that I like to eat chicken legs, you persuaded Uncle Yun to return them, you compensate me for the chicken legs! ”

"I'll pay you, I'll pay you ten violent tremors!" Liu Wuxiu thought that his greedy face was embarrassing, and his face was dark.

Without waiting for Xiao Qiongzhi to answer, she walked up to the stone as she spoke, curled her index finger and middle finger, and flicked it ten times on the head of the stone.

The stone covered his head in pain, and tears fell down: "Mother, you are eccentric!" Ever since I had Sister Zhi'er, I don't like anything else, and it's not right to say anything, I won't be your son anymore, I want to be Yun Boniang's son! ”

"Good, good, good, good stone, don't cry. Your grandfather Yuangeng almost died for me and your mother, this is a great kindness that can not be repaid in a lifetime, and the chicken we gave him to replenish his body should not be eaten by himself. ”

"Later, your father and your uncle will come back, and the family will have a better life, we will kill the chicken for you to eat, let you be alone, eat four chicken legs, okay?" Chu Yunniang hurriedly walked to the stone, touched his head, and coaxed him gently.

Liu Wuxiu rolled his eyes at the stone on the side: "I don't know who I look like, I know how to eat!" I don't know how to think about it, if it weren't for your grandfather Yuangeng and them to save their lives, your mother would have died a long time ago! When the time comes, your father will marry you a stepmother and come back, not to mention eating chicken legs, I'm afraid it's a chicken butt, and it won't be your share! ”

Shi was suddenly unconvinced: "Mother, don't scare me!" I'll tell you the truth, I heard you always say that my father married my stepmother, so I asked my father, and my father said, women are too troublesome, if he divorces you one day, he will guard me and my brother to live together, and he will not marry our stepmother! ”

"Dead fool, can you believe what your father's dead ghost said? You don't even know how sassy he is, he can't live without a woman for a day-"

"Ahem! Cough! Sister-in-law Liu, the children are still young, and there are some things in the adult world, which do not need to be explained to the children, and the impact is not good. Zheng Bang couldn't listen anymore, so he interrupted Zheng Wuxiu's words and reminded her.
