Chapter 539: Someone Fishes in Troubled Waters

When Xia Qiqi arrived in the front yard, he happened to see Mrs. Xia asking Xia Duobao to report the amount of money.

But Xia Duobao kept refusing, and Mrs. Xia screamed non-stop.

Around, there are already a lot of villagers and relatives of the old Xia family who are watching the excitement.

Xia Qiqi originally wanted to stop Mrs. Xia, but after thinking about it, she felt that there must be something wrong with Xia Duobao being so timid.

It's better to let Mrs. Xia make a fuss.

Xia Duobao kept silent, which really angered Mrs. Xia.

"Second brother, if you don't say it now, start now, you will get out of the door of Lao Xia's house for me, your old Xia family is not welcome in our old Xia family!"

Mrs. Xia said with a tiger face.

Xia Duobao was forced to have no choice but to speak.

"Mother, I said, I said it can't be done?" After that, he began to recall the money he received from various families, "Zhang Bao's family has ten yuan, Liu Dagen's family has twelve yuan......"

There was nothing ahead, but as more and more people came out of Xia Duobao's mouth, Xia Duobao's mind was a little messy.

"Xia Duoshou 60 Wen, Xia Duobao 60 Wen ......"

When Xia Duobao said this, the people in the village looked stunned.

Everyone knows that the old Xia family has not been separated, and the money is still in the hands of the old woman, so it stands to reason that there is no need to give this money, but now, the family has produced sixty yuan.

Just when he was about to praise Xia Duoshou and Xia Duobao for being good, Mr. Xia shouted, "This money is wrong, it's a hundred Wen less." ”

Xia Duobao was stunned, and his face turned red instantly.

still denied it, "Mother, what did you say, what...... How could it be wrong? ”

"Hmph, that's not right! What you said doesn't match the money here, third child, did you swallow the money? Mrs. Xia's gaze fell on Xia Duobao for the first time.

If this was asked in the inner court, Xia Duobao might have admitted it.

But now in public, how can he admit it?

"Mother, what are you talking about? What do you mean I swallowed money? If I swallow the money, I'm ...... I'm thundering, I didn't give birth to a son! ”

Xia Duobao was afraid that Mrs. Xia would not believe in herself, so in a hurry, she made a bunch of vows.

Mrs. Xia didn't doubt Xia Duobao anymore, she continued to ask: "Who has ever touched this money?" ”

Xia Duobao continued to shake his head, "No...... No! ”

"What about the money? Where does the money go? A hundred dollars, is it gone? Mrs. Xia raised her voice, her eyes were like copper bells, and she was waiting for Xia Duobao.

"Mother, I'm ...... I don't know! Xia Duobao still didn't admit it.

Mrs. Xia thought for a while, and suddenly spoke, "I know, it must be that when you collected the money, you didn't count it clearly, and someone lied, saying that it was ten cents, but in fact only one penny was given, which caused the number to be wrong." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xia said this, the crowd around to watch the excitement was not happy.

Because Mrs. Xia's words clearly dragged everyone into the water, saying that they were indiscriminately reporting money and greedy for other people's small gains.

Mrs. Xia's gaze just fell on Xia Qiqi.

simply took Xia Qiqi and went under the knife: "Qiqi girl, is it a good thing for you to do?" You four rooms also have a part to do this, right? ”

Qiqi just watched a lively, and now that she is said so, she absolutely can't bear it.

"Milk, you have to talk about evidence, why do you say that our four rooms have done such a thing?" Xia Qiqi looked at Mrs. Xia.

"Why? You're here, sneaky, like a thief! Mrs. Xia said.

"Am I sneaky? I think you're deliberately blackmailing the people of the village for money. ”

Mrs. Xia poured dirty water on herself, and Xia Qiqi was not a vegetarian, so she threw it back.

This dead old woman, whenever something bad happens, she thinks of the fourth room.

Really when Sifang owes her?

What Xia Qiqi said was much more useful than what Mrs. Xia said.

As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers echoed her.

"Lao Xia's family, I didn't know that your Lao Xia family was so shameless, and even the money was pitted."

"That's it, I don't know what kind of sin I created, I became neighbors with your old Xia family, and I did evil!"

"You have to swallow a share of this money, but your old Xia family is the only one!"

"At the beginning, the four rooms were separated, we still felt that the four rooms were too much, and the blessings were too much, but now it seems that you are quite unreasonable, and the blessings are also self-preservation, and they are also righteous relatives!"

The more people in the village talked, the more energetic they became.

The more energetic she is, the more Mrs. Xia's face is splashed.

There are many people in the village, she doesn't dare to scold, but Xia Qiqi, she dares to take it at will.

"Dead girl, don't say anything about your four rooms, and now you dare to make rumors about me, I ...... today I'm not going to beat you to death today! ”

Mrs. Xia slapped her and was about to rush up and beat Xia Qiqi.

If it were the other granddaughters, it would be estimated that Mrs. Xia would be beaten, but Xia Qiqi was no one else.

She said angrily to Mrs. Xia, "Milk, you have been slandering that our four rooms have taken advantage, then I won't save face for you, I'll show you today, where is the silver given by our four rooms and Ah Jiu." ”

Xia Qiqi rushed to the bamboo basket where Mrs. Xia was holding money.

Mrs. Xia thought that Xia Qiqi was going to grab money, so she hurriedly went to protect the basket, but she was still a step too slow.

Xia Qiqi took two strings of money out of a pile of money.

"Milk, you can see this string of money and fabric, this is the rest of my mother's clothes, and I still have the same fabric at home, this is the silver given by our fourth room and Ah Jiu, a total of sixty Wen!"

After Xia Qiqi finished speaking, he looked around again, "Everyone should be like us, afraid of losing the money, and stringing up the money early, right?" Then you should be the same as me, know your own cloth for stringing money, or the way of threading, everyone take yourself first, and then who is a human and who is a ghost, at a glance! ”

After Xia Qiqi finished speaking, a bunch of people arrived in front of Lan and began to rummage.

"What are you doing? Grab money......"

"What are you doing?"

Mrs. Xia thought that these people were going to take the money away, as if they were crazy, and they wanted to protect the money.

"Mrs. Xia, you don't have to get involved in this matter, we just want to prove our innocence!" There is humanity.

"This grievance, we don't accept it, how much your family came, how much we came, half a child, less!"

Soon, a basket of money was taken away.

In the end, there was a little bit of copper money left.

Xia Qiqi took the basket and poured it out and counted it, "Here are twenty dollars!" ”

"Isn't the number of people right?" Xia Qiqi asked.

The others nodded, "Ours is right!" ”

"Then whose are these twenty wen?" Xia Qiqi asked.

"We all have names, it seems that Duobao and Duoshou didn't take any money." Someone said a word.

This time, the truth is revealed.

It turns out that the ghost is not an outsider, but an internal thief!

"Third child, what do you mean? Why is it twenty wen, not one hundred and twenty wen? Mrs. Xia shouted angrily.
