Chapter 40: Sorrow on Sorrow

Just as he was about to scold Chi Yue, he saw Chi Yue's face, and the words that Zhou was about to say swallowed back alive.

She thought that Chi Yue was forced to come back from the dead by the old mansion, and since she came back to life, it was like a different person, making a fortune step by step, and making their family live an increasingly comfortable life from now on.

Seeing that Chi Yue encountered a little setback, she wanted to reprimand her and tell her to do what she didn't want to do, is this for Chi Yue's good, or is she afraid that Chi Yue will affect herself?

Thinking of this, Zhou lowered his head and remained silent.

"Okay, your family is embarrassed, it's not a good thing, look at how God cleans you up!" Qiao Shi jumped to his feet and scolded and went out the door.

Chi Yue sneered, "It's rare for someone like Qiao to dare to hang the words 'God' on his mouth all the time. ”

"Your aunt is afraid of ghosts and gods, and she often has to go to the house to worship incense." Zhou's Road.

"This kind of person doesn't believe in ghosts and gods." Chi Yue disagreed, "They are just afraid that ghosts and gods will ask for their lives, as for how to avoid ghosts and gods from asking for their lives, this kind of foolish people don't know." ”

Zhou stopped debating this, returned to the topic, and asked Chi Yue urgently, "Yue'er, tell my mother, have you offended anyone again?" Did the village chief do it this time? ”

Chi Yue shook her head, "The village chief doesn't dare to be so presumptuous now, he is also a person who understands the law, so he shouldn't do such a small act." ”

After a pause, she frowned again and said, "Except for the old mansion, I can't think of anyone I have offended." And even the tiny boundaries in the ground have been cut away, but they are not like those who are rough and clumsy, and they are scattered. In the middle of the night, as if they were so timid and afraid, they thought they had seen a ghost when they saw the shadows of the trees, and when they heard the cuckoo they had come to arrest them, they probably threw their hoes and fled after less than half of them. ”

Zhou's and Chi Xin's all admired Chi Yue's discernment, and their reasoning made people unable to find the slightest fault.

"Isn't it you Mo Erniang and Second Uncle Mo?" Zhou also guessed, "All the money they got from stealing brown sugar has been returned to us." Later, I heard that they were taken to the yamen, where they were forced to take 20 boards each, and were brought back by relatives in a car. During this period of time, it is difficult to move, and life can be difficult, and it is inevitable that there will be a grudge against us in my heart. ”

"And they have done stealing, and they have endured the white eyes of their neighbors, and those cynicisms will inevitably make people feel aggrieved." Chi Xin said, "These are the things I went to the river to wash my clothes and listen to the lotus flowers tell us. ”

Chi Yue nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, it is very likely that they will have a sense of revenge against us. ”

"Hey, I said earlier, the neighbors don't look down and don't look up, but don't hurt the harmony, you don't listen!" Zhou blamed Chi Yue.

Chi Yue didn't answer, she only felt that there was something strange in it, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

The two officials sent by the county magistrate soon came, and under the leadership of Chi Yue, they first came to inspect the destroyed fields.

One of the officials turned over the earth, inspected the fragmented mushrooms, and said, "This was done with a sharp weapon." ”

"Isn't it just a hoe?" Chi Yue pointed to the hoe next to the ground, "Don't you use this to turn the ground?" ”

The official stepped forward to inspect the edge of the hoe, and then nodded respectfully, "That's about it." ”

"And the digging is very deep, and the force is huge, I think it is the work of a man with great strength." The official reasoned.

"Many women in the countryside are no less powerful than men." Chi Yue disagreed.

"Women with great strength are a minority after all." The officials didn't want to be robbed of their right to speak, and tried their best to earn face for themselves.

Chi Yue didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so she couldn't wait to ask, "See if there are footprints?" ”

The official raised his head and glanced at her, "You girl is shrewd and knows our procedures. ”

"Your case-handling procedures are very rigid." Chi Yue was blunt.

The official shook his head and shook his head, "What do you know?" The evidence collected must be clearly laid out on paper, so that the evidence can be presented in court with sufficient clarity. ”

Chi Yue waited for them to finish inspecting, but heard them shake their heads and say, "Maybe there are too many villagers who come to trample on them during the day, and they can't tell what they are." ”

The bronze sniffed all around the field, but it was in vain.

Chi Yue saw that nothing could be found here, so she led the two of them to Second Uncle Mo's house.

It has been more than two months since he was kicked out of the workshop by Chi Yue.

Mo Erniang and Uncle Mo were beaten and couldn't get out of bed for a month. In the second month, I could only stagger, spending most of the family's savings, not to mention, and I was embarrassed that I couldn't get everyone to see him, and no one was willing to come to take care of and help, but I felt lonely and desolate, and the two inevitably quarreled and quarreled every day.

Their fifteen-year-old son couldn't stand the miasma of the family, so he went to live with relatives under the pretext that he wanted to go to the city to find a job and earn some money.

Seeing Chi Yue at this time, the two of them were like seeing a tiger and wolf coming out of the hole, Uncle Mo threw away the cigarette bag and suddenly got up from the recliner, while Mo Erniang threw away the dustpan in his hand that was sifting chaff, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

Seeing that the two of them were stumbling on their legs and feet, they were about to retreat into the house and close the door.

Chi Yue pursed the corners of her lips and made her intentions clear, "I think you also know what happened to our family?" ”

Mo Erniang hid behind Second Uncle Mo and hurriedly shook her head, "We don't know, we don't know anything!" ”

"Then why are you so scared?" Chi Yue's eyes were sharp, which made Second Sister-in-law Mo tremble even more.

Seeing that Chi Yue had something else going on, it calmed down a lot for Second Uncle Mo.

Second Uncle Mo pulled Second Sister-in-law Mo and laughed embarrassedly, "Call Boss Chi a joke, my family has been crazy since the accident, and he trembled when he mentioned your name. ”

The corners of Chi Yue's mouth trembled, daring to love herself and become a living Hades?

Fortunately, Mo Erniang pointed her fingers tremblingly in the other direction to distinguish Chi Yue's innocence, "I'm not afraid of her, I'm afraid, afraid of that dog!" ”

Hearing this, Bronze once again showed his teeth and grinned, as if he wanted to show off his majesty, and almost made Mo Erniang faint and fall to the ground.

Chi Yue shook her head helplessly, and let Second Uncle Mo help Mo Erniang into the house, and waited for him to come back before he roughly explained the matter.

Second Uncle Mo hurriedly waved his hand, trying his best to defend himself, "We really didn't do this matter, Lord Heavenly God testifies!" Boss Chi, it's true that we deceived you, but since the time we endured all the hardships, we have a long memory, and we no longer dare to do anything wrong, where do we dare to go out and do such an unconscionable act! Boss Chi, don't you want to wronged us, our family really can't go through the slightest tribulation......"

Seeing that he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Chi Yue.

Chi Yue just looked at him coldly, and her face didn't change, "Then you say, where were you and your wife last night?" ”

"At home." Second Uncle Mo stopped crying and replied simply.

"But who testifies?" Chi Yue then asked.

Second Uncle Mo gritted his teeth and shook his head, "No." ”

He added, "But that doesn't mean that we went to plow your land!" ”

Chi Yue didn't answer, and asked the official to inspect the farm tools and courtyard of Second Uncle Mo's family to see if there were any mushroom remains.

The two officials looked at each other. They are experts in handling cases in front of the county master, how can they feel that they have become the little minions of this country girl?

Chi Yue's immediate, methodical, and clear thoughts made them impressed.

So, they obediently accepted Chi Yue's order and began to investigate.

The three of them and one dog didn't find any clues.

The bronze nose was unfathomably acute, and it could not smell anything on the farm tools or the clothes on the family's body, so it declared that the man was no longer suspicious.

Once again, hope is dashed.

Chi Yue was thinking a lot at this time, and her face became uncertain.

Bronze licked her hand, as if to comfort her and cheer her on.

"Thank you, Bronze." Ji Yue smiled and continued to cheer up.

Seeing that the four scenes were hanging low and the stars were dry, the two officials had to say goodbye and decided to come back tomorrow.

When she came home, Zhou immediately beckoned her to sit down, "I left you some food, I'm tired all day, it's time to rest." ”

As he spoke, he brought her a hot meal and urged her to eat quickly.

But where can Chi Yue eat? The frown is not spread, but there is an angry and sad heart.

Who the hell is deliberately making her feel bad?

If she has offended anyone, there is one today, but she who offended today can't come and make waves last night, right?

In addition, how to explain the mushrooms provided to natural dwellings, seeing that the supply exceeds demand, and they will be picked up tomorrow?

Seeing that Chi Yue didn't move his chopsticks, Zhou sighed and said softly with relief: "People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." It's always a trivial matter to lose some possessions, but don't break your body. ”

Seeing that the Zhou family seemed to have changed and thought about it like this, Chi Yue was a little puzzled, "Mother, don't you still feel sorry for those three acres of land during the day, why don't you care about your own affairs at this time?" ”

"Your business is naturally my mother's business, where is my business anymore?" Zhou smiled bitterly, "It's just that I want to open it." Originally, these were the extra money, and if there was no money, it would be considered a disaster to eliminate the disaster, as long as a few of you were safe, the mother would feel at ease. Mother doesn't want to be around, I just ask you to be obedient and safe. ”

As he spoke, wet tears fell again.

Chi Yue stroked Zhou's cheek distressedly and squeezed into her arms, "Mother, don't worry, no matter what, we will be safe and smooth." ”

The weight in her chest gradually dissipated, and Chi Yue only felt that Zhou's arms were like a haven of calm waves, so warm and peaceful.

In this short rest, Chi Yue did not give up. She secretly made up her mind that she would find out the person who deliberately embarrassed her, so as to eliminate this worry!

That night, when everyone had gone to sleep, she came to the space.

Seeing that the mushrooms of nearly two acres cultivated by myself here have been picked by myself, half of them have been picked by myself, and the remaining one acre of land is also scattered and has not yet grown up.

Just busy outside, a small square world here forgot to continue to plant and cultivate.

Seeing that there is a place to use, but it can't save people.

When I came to pick up the goods tomorrow, it seemed that I really couldn't get the supply of goods.

This makes Chi Yue more worried.
