Chapter 19: Nothing to do
Zhang Qinghua coughed her throat, as if she was afraid that others would not hear her, and said loudly: "Early yesterday morning, I saw Feng Yuchen's daughter-in-law go to your house. ”
"What? Why don't I know? Did she steal my pearls? This one who has received a thousand knives will not die well, and he will lack virtue and smoke, my pearl......" Mrs. Feng patted her thigh while crying.
Zhao Hongzhu on the side laughed when he heard this, he understood, this Feng eldest daughter-in-law heard the conversation between Li Da and Li Er, and then partnered with his mother-in-law to arrange people here.
"Dad, I still have something to do, I'll go out first, you're busy!" Zhao Hongzhu didn't want to watch these two people act anymore, so he got up and walked out of the yard.
"Zhao Lichang, I've heard that Feng Yuchen's daughter-in-law went to the town yesterday afternoon to sell a pearl and got money, so she is looking for someone to build a house today? You can't let her cover it, her money is not clean, she stole my mother-in-law's pearls in exchange, and this money should belong to my mother-in-law. ”
Zhang Qinghua looked at the gate as she spoke, and sure enough, after Mrs. Feng was so noisy, many people stood at the door of the head of the house to watch the excitement.
That's right, many people know that Mrs. Feng's mother's family married a pearl back then, and now these people are witnesses, proving that their Feng family does have a pearl, and it was lost.
Zhao Lichang didn't say anything, he was also very curious about why Feng Yuchen's family suddenly had money: "In this case, let's all come with me, let's go to Feng Yuchen's house and ask for clarification." ”
In this way, a group of people came to the end of the village.
And now, Feng Yuchen's family is also very lively, Brother Fulin's family of three, and the two brothers, Fat Dragon and Fat Tiger, are all in the grass house.
Several men were studying the purchase of materials for building a house, and Feng Yuchen's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he could only trouble some of his good buddies.
Tong Xiaowu and Fulin sister-in-law were busy preparing meals, and they wanted to leave these people here for lunch at noon.
Sister-in-law Fulin looked at the calligraphy posted on the earthen wall, and was extremely envious: "I didn't expect Brother Yuchen to have a cold appearance, but he is a considerate person, and he still teaches you to read?" ”
Tong Xiaowu looked at the copybook and laughed: "I don't want to learn, he has to force me to learn." ”
Husband's sister-in-law looked at her playfully: "Don't you be dissatisfied?" It is said that women are virtuous if they are not talented, that is all a lie to women, they men can't wait for us women to understand anything, so that they can count, literacy is still good, you look at your brother Fulin, he can't read a big word, if he can know words, he would have been an accountant in his cousin's brick kiln, just because he can't read a big word, it's not a burden. ”
At this time, Tong Xiaowu knew that Brother Fu Lin used to work in the brick kiln in the town, no wonder Feng Yuchen wanted to hand over the matter of buying building materials to him, because he not only understood, but also knew the people in the brick kiln.
A few people were busy, and a group of people came in shouting outside the courtyard, led by Mrs. Feng and her eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Qinghua.
As soon as Mrs. Feng entered the door, she began to howl: "Tong Xiaowu, you are a thousand-knife killer, return my pearls to me, if you don't return my pearls today, I will fight with you for my life!" ”
"Big guy, look at it, what has become of this Feng Yuchen family? In the past, their family couldn't even affix window paper, he was a person with leg problems and couldn't work, his daughter-in-law was too lazy, her mother-in-law was a gambler, he didn't give her a penny to marry, and he didn't even bring her a good dress, why did their family build a new house? And you have to build ten rooms? That's because she stole my mother-in-law's pearls......"
Zhang Qinghua shouted loudly: "Look at how shameless these two people are, steal people's things and build a new house?" Don't soak urine and take care of your own virtues? ”
The other people in the grass house all went out of the house, and when Brother Fu Lin saw this scene, he couldn't help but glance back at Feng Yuchen:
"Brother, didn't you say that your daughter-in-law went up the mountain to dig ginseng yesterday for the money you paid for building your house? Why did your sister-in-law say that your daughter-in-law stole Mrs. Feng's pearl in exchange? ”
"That's it, didn't you dig up ginseng in exchange?" The fat dragon also wondered what the situation was now?
The two brothers, Fat Dragon and Fat Tiger, originally surnamed Pang and named Pang Long and Pang Hu, but because they were fat, everyone called them Fat Dragon and Fat Tiger.
"What did you dig ginseng for? Which of your eyes saw her go up the mountain to dig ginseng? She had stolen my mother-in-law's pearls. Zhang Qinghua refuted loudly.
Others don't know about pearls, but Feng Yuchen knows, Mrs. Feng's pearl has been sold a long time ago, and now she is here to make trouble.
This time, Tong Xiaowu was not in a hurry or annoyed, standing there watching their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law make a fuss, what they wanted to do as if she was a mirror in her heart.
"Tong Xiaowu, you have to return my pearls today, if you don't pay them back, I'll be ...... with you."
"Everything pays attention to human and material evidence, Mrs. Feng, what evidence do you have to prove that Tong Xiaowu stole your pearls?" Zhao Lichang heard that it was people who dug ginseng to get money, and breathed a sigh of relief, it was good not to steal it.
I have to say that he still favors Feng Yuchen in his heart, after all, this kid has a good character, and when he went to his house to play when he was young, a fortune teller said that this child will definitely be rich and noble in the future.
Zhao Lichang also thought that as long as he took the right path and did not violate the law and discipline, he would definitely help him, and if he was developed at that time, he would be able to pull him along.
Mrs. Feng glared angrily, and shouted: "The human evidence is my eldest daughter-in-law, and the physical evidence is the money in her hands!" ”
She was convicted of Tong Xiaowu's crime.
"Hahaha......" Tong Xiaowu couldn't help laughing: "You said I took your pearls and sold them in the town for money?" Which store am I going to? How much did it sell? And who proves that I am taking pearls for money? And not with the ginseng I dug myself? ”
"This, this ......" Mrs. Feng forgot this: "Who knows which pawnshop you went to to to get the money?" Anyway, you stole my pearls. ”
"The money I dug up in exchange for ginseng is well-founded, and someone saw it when I came back from the mountains yesterday morning."
"Yes, yes, I saw it, when I went up the mountain to chop firewood, Feng Yuchen's daughter-in-law also chopped firewood and just came back, and she carried a bamboo basket." A villager came forward to testify.
"I saw it too," someone said again.
Tong Xiaowu continued: "And my ginseng was sold to Mr. Li, the shopkeeper of Shengyixing, Mr. Li is my witness, if you don't believe it, you can go to the town with me and ask, did I sell ginseng to his family?" ”
Regarding this, Tong Xiaowu is completely sure, Shopkeeper Li will definitely speak to her.
