Chapter 380: Bride Price Theft (1)
Hearing that he was robbed from the house, Jiang Zhimian couldn't help frowning deeply.
Since the war five years ago, the country has been in good weather and peace with the people.
Not to mention the only bandit nest that threatens the people of Anchang Town, and they were also killed by them not long ago.
Those who dare to be so arrogant are probably acquaintances.
After all, the Lin family's house is in Dadong Village, which is the worst.
If you don't know that there is a bride price at home, I'm afraid that the thief won't go in when he walks to the door.
"Sister Miao Miao, don't cry yet." Jiang Zhimian comforted her, "Think about it carefully, who knows about our family's bride price for your family?" ”
"No one, our relatives don't come to each other at all, my mother said to press the bride price, and when you become a parent, you don't have to worry about it, externally, we only say that you gave a silver hairpin."
A silver hairpin, in the countryside bride price, is not too little, but it is definitely not rich.
Taking risks for the sake of root hairpins is obviously unlikely.
So after thinking about it, Jiang Zhimian still felt that the news had been leaked.
"Don't worry, Sister Miao Miao, think about it carefully." Jiang Zhimian said.
But even if Lin Miaomiao thought about it, he couldn't think of it.
The only thing that can be done is to cry helplessly.
She felt sorry for the Jiang family.
So many bride prices, they also bought them with money!
"All this was caused by my Kefu, Jiang Lin, I don't want to hurt you, so don't marry you, I will work hard to make money to return those bride price to you." Lin Miao Miao Road.
Jiang Lin glared at her angrily, "You are crazy, so many dowries, how can you pay it back?" ”
yes, how is she going to pay it back?
Lin Miaomiao bit her lip helplessly, her deer-like eyes wet.
"I'll weave a few more willow baskets, and straw sandals, and I'll definitely try to return them to you."
Although she said that, Lin Miaomiao was still very clear in her heart.
Relying on the little money she earned, it was not easy to pay off the bride price.
At the same time, Jiang Lin also held her hand.
said with a serious face, "I don't want you to return the bride price to me, I want you to marry me." ”
"But I'm a dead star." Lin Miaomiao lowered her head.
"You're not a mourning star, someone must have seen that your family has money, so they stole it while you weren't there." Jiang Lin said firmly.
Mrs. Jiang also saw it very clearly.
"Silly girl, if because someone is a mourning star, you can grab that person's things casually, then what are we going to do with the money, go find a fake half-immortal to offer, and let him say that the richest owner of the left village in the town is a mourning star, why don't we just go in and grab something?"
It's other people who do bad things, and it has nothing to do with Lin Miaomiao.
Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao sniffed and raised her head.
looked around the Jiang family in the room, and they all looked at themselves with firm eyes.
A warm current suddenly surged through my heart, "Thank you." ”
"Don't thank you, Sister Miao Miao, I'll send you back, and let's see what's going on." Jiang Zhimian said.
Others said, "We'll go too." ”
So, the Jiang family, who had just arrived home, rushed to Dadong Village again.
When I arrived in the courtyard of Lin Miaomiao's house, I saw the Lin family's parents sitting on the muddy ground with blank eyes, like puppets.
It's so sad that the family has been burglarized.
So much so that the Jiang family entered the courtyard, and they didn't know it yet.
"Dad, mother, Grandma Jiang, they're here." Lin Miaomiao stepped forward and shouted in a choked voice.
Father Lin came back to his senses at this time.
He was very guilty about the concerned eyes of Mrs. Shangjiang.
"I'm sorry, we lost the bride price, and we are all to blame."
Why do you want to go up the mountain to cut willow branches?
It doesn't have to be three of you.
Now it's all right!
"It's all a trivial matter, it doesn't matter if you give another bride price, I am rare Miao Miao, this child, she deserves two bride price." Old Mrs. Jiang comforted.
Hearing this, Father Lin felt even more guilty.
According to the unwritten regulations of the Jin Kingdom, if the bride price is taken out by the man, half of it will be given to the daughter as a dowry on the day of marriage.
Now, the Jiang family has taken out two bride prices, but they can only marry a quarter of these.
The Jiang family suffered a big loss.
"I ...... I'll figure out how to get the money. Father Lin said.
"No, you don't." Mrs. Jiang refused.
Although two bride prices are indeed a bit much, there is no way to do it.
Could it be that just because the bride price was stolen, do you want Jiang Lin and Lin Miaomiao not to get married?
"You don't have to worry, this bride price can still be recovered." Jiang Zhimian said on the side.
Lin Miaomiao was very excited, "Mianmian, what can you do?" ”
As long as she can get this bride price back, she doesn't have to feel guilty anymore.
More than anyone else, she wanted to find these bride prices.
Jiang Zhimian stretched out his hand towards her, "Do you still have the list of bride prices before?" ”
"Yes, yes, under my bed, I'll get it for you." Mother Lin hurriedly said.
When he brought the list of materials, Jiang Zhimian read the things on it.
Except for fifty taels of silver, the rest were eaten and worn.
"Have you lost fifty taels of silver?" Jiang Zhimian asked.
Mother Lin's expression suddenly became sad, "Yes, I hid it on the beam, and when I touched it just now, it was gone." ”
It's normal to be gone.
After all, the silver is real and easy to carry, so it is most suitable to steal this.
As for other cloths, garments, porcelain and the like, it is estimated that they are still in the village.
"You mean, the villagers stole my bride price?" Lin Miaomiao asked in surprise.
Jiang Zhimian nodded, "Yes, it's a villager." ”
It only takes more than an hour to go up the mountain to cut the willow basket, and the Lin family encountered a torrential rain halfway, which shortened the time.
Those who can pinpoint the time for them to leave, and can quickly commit crimes, must be from this village.
Didn't run away.
Now go to the village chief and conduct a door-to-door investigation, and you will definitely be able to find it.
Since the head of Kimura was arrested before the fight, the person in charge now is a man in his thirties.
He has a good relationship with the Lin family.
When he heard about this, he immediately became indignant and said that he would fully cooperate.
Then, with the people of the Lin family and the Jiang family, they began to search from house to house, even the cellar where the sweet potatoes were stacked.
But I searched for many of them, but they found nothing.
Jiang Zhimian was calming Lin Miaomiao's emotions, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Ruyi's face full of heaviness and nervousness.
Then I followed her gaze and looked forward, and I saw the Zhu family's house by the river.
In a little while, they should find out about the Zhu family.
Zhu Ruyi, is he worried that when he sees Zhu Baishi for a while, will he remember the sad past that night?
Jiang Zhimian thought about it, and planned to give her a little comfort.
stepped forward, with a sweet smile on his pink and white cheeks, and stretched out his hand towards Zhu Ruyi.
