Chapter 25: Twists and Turns
Yang Ning told what he had seen and heard, and Old Yang wanted to interrupt Yang Ning's words several times, but Li Zheng glared back. In the end, Yang Ning also took out the IOU that said that Yang Xiaozhong and Tian owed Yang Xiaoyi ten acres of first-class land and handed it to Li Zheng.
It is the old man who is doing things, and this kind of IOU has been contacted, not a thousand, but also eight hundred, just a glance, you can know that this handwriting, as well as the writing method of the following accompanying documents, is in line with the writing habits of the old Xiucai in the east of the town. Therefore, this IOU should have been written in the town in advance, and then returned to the village for Yang Xiaozhong to fill in.
In other words, someone set up a bureau in advance and wanted Yang Xiaozhong to sign this IOU. From this point of view, Yang Xiaoyi is indeed suspicious.
"See for yourself, what else is there to say!" Li Zheng threw the IOU in front of Yang Xiaoyi, Yang Xiaoyi saw the IOU, trembled, speechless, and looked about to confess the truth, Zhu gritted his teeth, crawled in front of Li Zheng, and cried and said, "Xiaoyi and I don't know what's going on, this is wrong, we haven't seen this IOU, it's all framed by others!" Pity me, my belly pocket was stolen, my reputation was ruined, what crime do you have to give me again, why is my life so miserable! ”
Zhu's crying reminded Lao Yang Tou and Yang Xiaoyi, and they bit it to death at this time and said that they didn't know about the IOU, and also said that Yang Ning framed them and kept saying that Yang Ning was not filial. Lao Yang Tou even proposed to let Li Zheng report the matter to the government, and let the Qingtian Lord cancel the household registration of Yang Xiaozhong's family and drive them out as refugees.
"Grandpa Lizheng," Yang Ning looked at him coldly, did not return the mouth directly, nor did he cry, but spoke respectfully and politely, "Can I ask them a few questions and help everyone sort out the truth of the matter." ”
Li Zheng looked at the calm little girl in front of him, with a little appreciation in his eyes, and nodded.
Yang Ning thanked Li Zheng, his face was Zhu, and his eyes were cold. If you want to kick her out as an outcast, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! "Second sister-in-law, you said that you haven't seen this IOU, is the handprint on it yours?" There was a sneer on the corner of Yang Ning's mouth, pointing to the bright red handprint on the IOU, and asked Zhu.
Zhu stopped howling, a pair of triangular eyes turned twice, swept twice on the IOU, and then began to cry again, "Where can I read as a woman, it's not that others tell me what I'm doing, who knows what's on it!" ”
Yang Xiaoyi, who was standing on the side, originally had half of his face white, but when he heard Zhu say this, he also reacted, and also stood aside and said angrily, "We husband and wife don't know how to read, who knows where you got the things from, fool us!" ”
At this time, the villagers listening below also felt that it made sense, many people in the village were illiterate in big characters, and they couldn't even write their own names.
A sneer flashed on Yang Ning's face again, the family really didn't cry when they saw the coffin, and then continued to ask, "Just now my grandfather said in the house that after signing this IOU, the second uncle and aunt will not pursue what my father did today." You don't know this IOU, you don't know, is it because grandpa deceived you and forced you to sign it? ”
As he spoke, he handed the IOU in his hand to an old lady closest to him, the old lady couldn't read, but the little grandson with the old lady was studying, and the little grandson read the IOU out loud without dropping a word. Lao Yang wanted to step forward to stop him several times, but he was stopped by those who were watching the excitement.
After reading the contents of the IOU, the people in the village were instantly quiet, silent for a second or two, and then the discussion broke out again, which was even better than the sound just now. It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, Lao Yang Tou framed his third son, and also damaged the reputation of his second daughter-in-law, and forced the third son to give all the land he can get in the future to the second son, what is the reason?
And this Yang Lao and Er Yi in the village have always been lazy to do things, and most of the things of the old Yang family are busy in the third room, even so, the third room actually didn't get a little good in front of his father? This old Yang's eccentricity has come to this point!
Everyone whispered together, and finally some people even began to glare at Lao Yang Tou, thinking that he had violated morality by doing so.
At this time, the Cao family let go of the Tian family, rushed out of the house, brandished his cane and shouted at the people in the yard, "Our old Yang family's affairs, take care of your, and ask you to talk more!" Whoever wants to care, just talk to the old woman first! ”
As soon as Cao Shi splashed like this, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Then she glared at Yang Ning viciously, eager to sell Yang Ning to the mountain nest immediately, and let her be tortured to death by those poor families who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law and could only spend money to buy it.
However, at this time, she still had a little indescribable fear of Yang Ning in her heart, and no longer insulted Yang Ning directly as before, but turned back to Yang Xiaozhong, and whipped Yang Xiaozhong's back with a crutch, and instantly pulled out a blood mark, "Your daughter is still embarrassed to find a three-room matter, if you don't do such a dirty thing, can I be guilty of letting you write an IOU?" I just know that you will be exposed sooner or later when you do this, so I prepared the IOU in advance to save you from disaster! You three rooms don't know how to thank Lao Tzu Niang's new clothes, and you dare to make trouble, I think you are cheap, just give a beating! ”
As he spoke, the crutches in his hand were about to be beaten again. Yang Xiaozhong still had a trace of fantasy about this mother who had been filial to him for a long time at this time, pulling the corner of Cao's clothes, this seven-foot man who usually has the best face and must show the image of a tough guy in front of people actually shed tears, "Mother, my son has never done it, you have to believe in your son!" ”
When Cao Shi heard this, he became even more angry, and the crutches in his hand went down fiercely, "Your mother said that you did it, you will admit it, and dare to quibble!" ”
When Yang Xiaozhong heard this, his tears couldn't stop flowing, but the light in his eyes became more and more dim.
Tian rushed out of the house at this time, and no matter what others thought, he went up and hugged her husband like wood, protected Yang Xiaozhong with her body, and begged Cao to stop fighting.
Yang Ning saw that the Tian family was beaten, and his heart was also filled with pain, and he didn't care about any filial piety, so he went up and directly grabbed Cao's crutches, and snatched it down with all his might.
Yang Xiaoyi and Zhu, who were watching Cao's beating with relish, didn't smile at this time, Yang Xiaoyi was about to hit Yang Ning with a hand like a fan, and Zhu shouted fakely, "It's not filial, my granddaughter beat my grandmother, I have to report to the official!" ”
However, Yang Xiaoyi didn't hit Yang Ning at all, and he didn't even walk to Yang Ning's side, but he was kicked by Ye Han on the side and kicked out two meters away. Yang Xiaoyi was annoyed and wanted to be angry, but he saw that Ye Han had an extraordinary bearing and outstanding skills, so he didn't dare to find fault easily.
wanted to go to Yang Ning to get angry, but just when he was stunned, Lizheng's daughter-in-law and a few familiar women coaxed and dragged Cao back to the house.
Without Cao's nonsense on the side, Zhu's arrogance immediately decreased a lot, and Yang Ning had already walked to Zhu's side and asked her with a cold face, "You said that my father stole your clothes and clothes, since it was stolen, then you must be careful to hide it after stealing, how did you find out?" ”
"I, I," Zhu Shi heard this, was asked, stunned for a moment, and then said, "I went to your house that day, and saw the bed and the mandarin ducks playing in the water, and it was mine at first glance!" ”
"That's strange, I won't ask first, what is your sister-in-law going to see your brother-in-law's bed for no reason, let me ask you, how do you know that the belly pocket is yours, not my mother's?" Yang Ning asked coldly.
"Of course I know my stuff!" Zhu blushed and had a thick neck, and retorted angrily.
"The women's clothes and clothes are all made by themselves, of course they all know each other." An aunt said to Yang Ning on the side.
"Oh, you don't know, my second aunt's clothes, shoes and socks are all made by my mother. Even the clothes and clothes are the same. Yang Ning looked at the eldest lady and explained gently.
At this time, everyone sighed again, saying that this Zhu family was really lazy, and he didn't make his own clothes, so he asked his sister-in-law to make them for her. At this time, there was a lively person next to him, laughing and saying that Zhu was a well-known lazy girl when she was in her mother's house. As soon as these words came out, he immediately burst into laughter.
Zhu was ashamed and annoyed, but he still stiffened his neck and did not admit his guilt, only said, "I made that one, I naturally know it!" There are also two mandarin ducks embroidered by me myself! ”
"Oh, when the second aunt said this, I remember, is it the most fashionable in the city, the same color as the woods, the green silk belly pocket?" Yang Ning asked lightly on the side, her attitude was much better at this time, her brows furrowed slightly, she seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to look at Zhu's eyes.
Zhu was asked like this, and she was stunned again, she didn't have such a belly pocket, but since Yang Ning said that she had seen it, then there must be one thing in her family, so she might as well admit it like this, and then insist that it was Yang Xiaozhong who stole it from her own home!
Thinking so, he hurriedly said, "That's it!" You've seen it all, and you've said he didn't steal it! ”
"Second aunt, that's weird," Yang Ning raised his eyes to look at Yang Xiaoyi, "Has the second uncle ever bought green silk fabric?" ”
Yang Xiaoyi's face suddenly turned white at this time, and Yang Xiaozhong's face lit up. Li Zheng next to him spoke, "It is difficult to dye the cloth in our country, and only the nobles in the city can afford to use those green silk fabrics, and they are not sold in the county, so you have to go to the provincial capital to buy them, where did you get the materials?" ”
"Me, that's my dowry!" Zhu still doesn't admit it, and he still denies it.
The woman who had long been at odds with the Zhu family on the side said with a smile, "Who in the whole village has never heard your mother-in-law complain, saying that when you got married, you married two quilts, where did the material come from!" Is it possible, the belly pocket is sandwiched in the quilt, and it will be sent over together, and it will be used at night! ”
It was vulgar to say, but many people laughed along with it. Everyone also understands that at this time, Yang Laosan was cheated by his own family.
Seeing this, Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she remembered that she had said in high school history that it was not easy to dye satin cloth in ancient times, and in some specific eras, special colors such as green and purple would be available in limited quantities, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to buy them. So she talked about the color, blew up the Zhu family, and sure enough, there was a flaw.
"I bought that material for the third child." The silent old Yang Tou on the side suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him in unison, and the suspicion of Yang Xiaozhong's indiscretion in their hearts had just been alleviated a little, and it suddenly increased at this time.
After all, in everyone's hearts, Lao Yang Tou is Yang Xiaozhong's father, how could his father harm his own son so much?
Today's events are full of twists and turns, where will this wave end up?
