Chapter 237: Not Worth Believing
Wu Mian was squeezed by the village chief, and was slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it in front of him, and their family was taken care of by the village chief from childhood to adulthood.
Wu Mian thinks that he is not a person who does not know gratitude, he is indeed very grateful to the village chief for taking care of their family and their mother and son.
But this does not mean that the village chief can meddle in their family's family affairs, and Wu Mian can't imagine how the village chief would treat him if he knew what he had done.
"Your mother brought me bacon and eggs two days ago, the old man is very happy, you and I have always gotten along very well, but it's just ......"
Speaking of this, the village chief couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then looked straight at Wu Mian with his eyes.
Wu Mian was seen by him as weak-hearted, and unconsciously turned his head, not daring to accept the village chief's scrutiny, the insightful eyes were like dense needles piercing his body, and he was very uncomfortable.
"It's just that I heard your mother say ......" Just as the village chief was thinking about the words to say it, Wu Mian and his wife walked in with tea.
Hearing what the village chief was about to say, Wu Mian's old lady's hand unconsciously shook the teacup lid and slipped off the cup, making a "whoosh" sound.
Wu Mian didn't expect the village chief to say the words so directly, in fact, she meant that she wanted the village chief to turn around a little, and said it tactfully, instead of saying it directly to her face.
I'm afraid that it will end badly when the time comes.
But the village chief didn't think of it so much, he had experienced a lot of human feelings, and he saw this clearly, if he didn't tell Wu Mian directly, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress him.
The village chief just saw that he still had a little deterrent power when he spoke, so he said this, if Wu Mian was really not afraid of heaven and earth, even he would have no choice.
"I heard your wife say that you want to live in the mountains."
Wu Mian and his wife put the tea tray on the table, and then poured tea for everyone one by one with a slight tremble.
Wu Mian and his wife closed their eyes, and their hearts were horizontal, so they let him say it, anyway, this matter is the same sooner or later, not to mention, Wu Mian and his wife just don't want Wu Mian to go to the mountains to spend the winter.
"Yes, village chief." Wu Mian was obviously shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that his old lady would go out at noon that day, so she would go to report to the village chief after a short while, and also told the village chief that he was going up the mountain.
What is there to say about this to outsiders? I subconsciously glanced at his wife, slightly annoyed.
"Wu Mian!" The village chief raised his voice, and when he saw Wu Mian looking at his mother's expression, he was full of anger, which the village chief could never have imagined.
That's his mother, how can Wu Mian look at his mother with such eyes?
Wu Mian was taken aback by the village chief's reprimand, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, just now he accidentally leaked his emotions and let the village chief see something.
"Village Chief." Wu Min was facing the village chief, and then lowered his head slightly, making a look of shame.
However, the village chief saw it clearly, this Wu Mian looked like this on the surface, but in fact, there may not be much awe of him.
"Wu Mian, you can talk about it, it's okay, I don't live at home, why do you have to go to the mountains to live? It's coming to the end of the year soon, do you have to separate mother and son for family reunion? What is this like?! Or is it for the woman you brought back?
Anyway, I really want to take a good look at that woman, what is it that you can't see the light when you hide it like this? Everyone is waiting for you to do a happy event! “
The village chief's words brought a lot of majesty, not to intimidate Wu Mian, but to make it clear.
"Village chief, where did you hear all these years? It's just because of the family's livelihood problems, so you have to go to the mountains to hunt, and then bring more game back for the winter, not to live in the mountains all the time, you misunderstand. ”
I didn't expect the village chief to question him so directly, which made him a little unexpected, and he couldn't answer for a while.
"Since you are going to the mountains to hunt and not go with the people of the village, do you want to go up the mountain alone? In the past, there was no such rule, if it was difficult to survive the winter this year, the people in the village would help, and you didn't need to go up the mountain to hunt, besides, do you need to take a woman with you for hunting? ”
Wu Mian's words were obviously unreasonable, and he avoided the important and trivial, and did not explain the matter of the woman to everyone.
The village chief will definitely not let him go, not only for the good of him Wu Mian, but also for the good of his Wu family, but also for the good of the whole village, if Wu Mian really wants to do something bad outside, which will affect the entire village, then he, as the village head of Chagouzi Village, should take responsibility.
Qi Qingchu quietly watched the development of the situation, he was not suitable to meddle at this time, and he didn't expect that this village chief should not look old, this is not simple in all aspects, and he must have been a good figure when he was young.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.
In addition, I was also thinking in my heart, fortunately, they came by chance, if it was on Chinese New Year's Eve, this man was afraid that he would have to go up the mountain, and then he would not be able to touch anyone.
There is no lack of luck in this, and it is not a trip in vain.
When Wu Mian heard the village chief say this, he was a little frightened and a little scared, he forced himself, he couldn't let himself mess up, once he said it impetuously, it was easy to be impulsive and easy to get up.
Impulsiveness will only make things worse, Wu Mian reminded himself in his heart.
"Village Chief, what did you say? How dare Wu Mian, it's just that he didn't make much money by losing money doing business in the city this year. It's not been a good year either, so I'm back.
When I came back, I was also disgraced, and I didn't want everyone to see the joke.
You said today that I should go hunting with them, isn't it shameless and embarrassed to go?
As for the woman, alas, I just saw that he was pitiful and kind to take her in, and she herself did not want to come out to meet people, and I could not force her not to.
And she's always had a physical disability, so she's even more closed, so I want to take her to the mountains to recuperate for a while.
It's not the New Year right away, there are many outsiders in the village, and it's inevitable that you'll encounter it, which is also afraid of hurting the hearts of other girls, and after the New Year, you can choose a good day and get married. “
After Wu Mian stabilized his mind, he immediately reacted and said eloquently.
These words are not wrong at all in the ears of others, but they are not like this in the ears of Wu Min and his wife.
Wu Mian lied, lying plainly, and in front of her.
Obviously, the woman was healthy and healthy when she came, but her son broke her leg alive, and now she didn't go to a doctor for treatment, so she was forced to leave it like that.
And from beginning to end, Wu Mian never told her that he wanted to marry this woman.
Once upon a time, Wu Mian respected the village chief the most, but she couldn't imagine that she would lie in front of so many people today, with a blushing face and a heartbeat, which really hurt her heart.
Her son, her simple and kind son, has changed, has this man also become hypocritical and hypocritical after wandering around the city?
Wu Mian's old lady turned pale, and the hand that sat at the table and put it under the table unconsciously tightened the purple pattern tablecloth on the table, and pulled out one fold after another.
Feeling a little sad in her heart, she looked at Wu Min and lowered her eyelids.
And Wu Mian said these words with a smile on his face, but his tone did not make everyone feel how happy he was.
When Qi Qingchu saw that Wu Mian and his wife's face was wrong, he knew that this person should be lying and not worth believing.
Of course, the village chief is not so easy to fool, but today, Wu Mian answered his words without leaking, and everything was pushed on the woman's body, and for a while, he couldn't even think of how to catch the mistakes and omissions in his words.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to meet this woman, but Wu Mian said this, saying that this woman didn't want to face others because she was disabled.
In this way, he can't force himself to meet this mysterious woman who stays in the Wu family's house.
Wu Min actually expected that the village chief might bring it up and want to see this woman, so he made a preemptive strike.
It was clear that the woman was disabled and didn't want to see anyone, and if the village chief insisted on seeing this woman, it would seem a little unkind.
The atmosphere that was originally a little sharp suddenly eased again, and Wu Min said so, and the explanation was also explained, and the village chief couldn't find anything else to say.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, looking at Wu Mian's evasive eyes, I knew that she didn't plan to face this problem head-on.
If there is any problem, leave it to the mother and son, and solve it yourself, the village chief feels that he can't manage it.
"In that case...... "The village chief can't help but want to retreat, and the words are up to the point, some things are too much, and it is best to grasp a degree."
He has been the village chief for so many years, and the most important thing is fairness and justice, as well as grasping a scale, which is the reason why he has won the hearts of the people for so many years.
Qi Qingchu saw that the opera was almost singing, but he didn't get a key point, he hadn't seen Li Jicai yet.
It would be nice if I could have the opportunity to meet Li Jicai today.
No, he hadn't been sure that the person staying inside was Li Jicai, but he hoped it was.
If, at this moment, Li Jicai can feel that he is here, then give him a hint!
"In that case, Wu family boy, I read that you grew up under my nose since you were a child, I know that you are a kind and simple person, and it is inevitable that you are impulsive at a young age, no matter what, you have to serve your parents at home and treat others kindly outside, I don't need to say more, right?"
The meaning of the village chief's words is to let Wu Min respect his wife more and stop doing some unfilial things.
Wu Mian didn't take this warning to heart, but just nodded verbally in agreement.
