Chapter 28: Here comes the repayment

Out of the gate of Li Si's house, Xie Jinlan turned around and walked in the direction of Li Tiezhu's house in his memory, with a smile on his face and a slight brow:

In addition to some calculations, this Qian family is kind and tight. If such a person is really the real murderer of Li Bao'er, then the possibility of her impulsive crime is extremely high.

According to what Qian said before, she would walk into the backyard of Li Tiezhu's house that day, completely improvised.

But what if what Qian said is false? What if she was the murderer of Li Bao'er, and if the look she had when she mentioned Li Bao'er was pretending?

Maybe she was thinking about that day, and deliberately let everyone find Li Baoer's body. In order to cut off Li Tiezhu's family's idea that Li Baoer was still alive.

However, according to his observations, Qian should not be such a vicious person who would come up with such a plan......

Thinking all the way, Xie Jinlan unconsciously walked to the door of Li Tiezhu's house.

After pressing the Qian matter in his heart, Xie Jinlan calmed down, then stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Tiezhu daughter-in-law, hurry up, go open the door!"

A voice full of neutrality and a hint of anger came into Xie Jinlan's ears very clearly through the door.

A moment later, a thin young woman, dressed in a patched and white-washed linen, came and opened the door.

Xie Jinlan recognized this person as Li Tiezhu's wife, Chen.

Inadvertently made eye contact with Xie Jinlan, and Chen retracted his gaze in a panic.

"Tiezhu daughter-in-law, who is from outside?" As he spoke, he walked to the door.

Getting closer, Xie Jinlan also saw this person's appearance clearly.

It was the eldest lady of the Li family who cried in front of him with the family that day, Zhang.

Although the clothes worn by Zhang were also white-washed coarse linen, they had not been patched. Moreover, the color and style of this material are very similar to those worn by Chen.

Zhang looked at Xie Jinlan from head to toe, and then looked at him vigilantly: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Xie Jinlan didn't seem to see the unkindness on Zhang's face, and smiled very gently: "Excuse me, is this Li Tiezhu's house?" ”

Zhang rolled his eyes directly: "It's not my family, is it your family?" The young man is young, why is this so unpleasant? ”

Xie Jinlan's face was slightly red, and he touched his head embarrassedly:

"Auntie, I borrowed more than a dozen copper plates from Brother Tiezhu before, and I came to repay them today. I'm also afraid that I will make the wrong person and give the wrong money. Don't mind. ”

When Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he welcomed Xie Jinlan into the room with a smile:

"Young man, why didn't you say it earlier? I thought you were trying to trouble our iron pillars. ”

Xie Jinlan looked apologetic: "It's mine, I didn't say it clearly, which frightened the eldest mother." ”

Zhang's eyes rolled slightly, and then his face was full of wrinkles with a smile: "The young man is quite sensible." With that, he pulled Xie Jinlan and walked to the kitchen in the backyard.

After Xie Jinlan sat down on the stool, she shouted to the room on the left: "Iron Pillar!" Iron Pillar! There's a young guy who paid back! ”

Ruan Yezhen, who was bored and sitting on the edge of the jujube tree counting ants, couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

In the blink of an eye, she floated to Xie Jinlan's side and asked curiously, "Xie Jinlan, why did you come here?" ”

Xie Jinlan was startled by this sudden voice, but his face did not show the slightest abnormality.

It's just that from an angle that Zhang couldn't see, he glared at Ruan Yezhen fiercely.

Ruan Yezhen blinked innocently.

Immediately, she seemed to understand why Xie Jinlan was like this, and couldn't help but make fun of him: "Xie Jinlan, I didn't expect you to be scared by me sometimes." I thought you weren't afraid of ghosts. ”

Xie Jinlan didn't pay much attention.

After a while, the room on the left was still moving, but the door to the room on the right opened first.

Li Tiegen and Lin walked out of the house together.

Lin's eyes lit up and looked at Zhang: "Mother, what kind of money do you have?" ”

Although Li Tiegen was speechless, the eyes that looked at the Zhang family were the same as those of the Lin family.

Zhang pointed at Xie Jinlan and said with a smile: "It's this young man, who said that he borrowed more than a dozen copper plates from the iron pillar before, and he came over to pay it back today." ”

As he spoke, Zhang frowned and looked at the room on the left: "Why hasn't the iron pillar come out yet?" ”

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Chen, who was silent and standing aside with her head down, and her tone instantly became very unkind: "Tiezhu daughter-in-law, go and see what the situation is!" ”

Hearing this, Chen nodded resignedly, then turned around and walked to the room on the left.

Looking at Chen's back, Zhang took a sip and said:

"It's useless to grind and chirp! I haven't seen her say a few words all year round. Will you die if you scream! Every time I look at her unfortunate face, I feel uncomfortable! ”

Lin walked to Zhang's side, quietly pulled the corner of her clothes, and then gave her a look: "Mother, let's talk about these words later." ”

Zhang then remembered that there were still outsiders here, so he smiled at Xie Jinlan: "Young man, let you see the joke, my eldest daughter-in-law is so virtuous." ”

Xie Jinlan smiled noncommittally.

Ruan Yezhen on the side glanced at Zhang, and then looked at Xie Jinlan with an angry face:

"Xie Jinlan, just in the morning, I saw how shameless this Aunt Li and this couple are."

After a pause, she raised her hand and pointed at Li Xiaoya, who was feeding the chickens outside the chicken pen:

"Do you see that little girl? How big is that? Doesn't you look like you're more than ten years old? He was called to do all sorts of things. If only that's all. Although I was raised in a deep boudoir, I have also heard the saying that 'children from poor families are in charge of the house early'.

But this eldest lady only watched from the side and didn't say anything, as long as her granddaughter moved a little slower, or something didn't suit her liking. This lady fights people, but she is not soft at all.

The fat young woman also came over from time to time to spread the wind and light the fire, and said something strange to arouse the anger of the eldest mother. Even if the person who died unexplained was her son, she shouldn't have been so angry with such an innocent little girl!

And the man next to her! If you really feel sorry for your niece, don't do those superfluous things! Secretly pouring water for the little girl to drink, the eldest mother found out, so she put all the responsibility on the little girl......"

Ruan Yezhen chattered for a long time, but saw that Xie Jinlan didn't even frown, still smiling, and responded to the questions of the few people in front of her from time to time.

Ruan Yezhen puffed out her cheeks dissatisfiedly: "Xie Jinlan, I really don't know if you have no waves in your heart, or if you just haven't shown it." ”
