Chapter 203: Go to the Official
"Not yet." Xiao Man took the first step and said, still smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals, and no one believed that she was lying.
Lu Li, who had been silently observing beside him, hooked the corners of his lips when he heard the words, and stopped Su Qi, who wanted to speak out, he sat on the stone bench and observed secretly, wanting to see some clues from the eyes and expressions of Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang.
I saw Brother Zhang touch his nose and laugh twice, "It turns out that you haven't gone to the wooden house yet, I just saw you coming from that side, and I thought you came from the wooden house." ”
Xiao Man smiled calmly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating and continued to lie: "We came around from the back mountain, you know, my father has been very fond of fiddling with flowers and plants recently, we originally came to the mountain to shave wild flowers, just heard there is movement here, listen to my father, only to know that you live here, so I came here to say hello." ”
The lies were woven seamlessly, and Su Qi was about to believe it, not to mention the Zhang family couple who were nervous and panicked.
"I see." Brother Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and his sitting posture was more casual, "Where are you going to live?" A general like Lu Li must at least live in the best inn in Taoyuan County, right? ”
As long as they don't go to the cabin, they will never know what is inside, and they will continue to enjoy these things with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Brother Zhang became more relaxed, he even raised a smile, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were a little looser. Sister-in-law Zhang, who was originally tense, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her straight back bent instantly.
Xiao Man smiled slightly, but his eyes were extremely cold, "No, we plan to live in a small cabin." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Zhang family and his wife were stunned again, and the smile on the corner of their mouths also froze together.
Lu Li snorted lightly beside him, his eyes lit up, "It seems that this matter is indeed inseparable from you." ”
The husband and wife cooperated very well, one asked, the other observed, and the Zhang family and his wife did not see anything unusual.
On the contrary, Su Qi, who was sitting on the side, frowned and scratched the back of his head, "What? What's going on? What are you talking about, what are you talking about? ”
"Dad, you are sitting down, this matter has nothing to do with you." Xiao Man got up and walked behind Su Qi, pressed his hands on the other party, leaned over and whispered to reassure.
After speaking, she immediately lowered her face and looked at the Zhang family and his wife coldly, "Did you move all the furniture in our house?" ”
Lu Li also got up, stood beside Xiao Man, looked at the Zhang family and his wife with a gloomy face, pursed his lips, and didn't speak, but the momentum was enough to crush the two of them.
One is a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the other is a farmer who grew up in the village, and this matter is that Brother Zhang is not reasonable, and he has already shown the weak side, plus the matter has been exposed, so the Zhang family and his wife were quickly defeated.
Things have come to this point, Brother Zhang has to admit it, but after all, things are not glorious, and he is also slurring when he speaks, "That thing... Something is, indeed, we moved. ”
As soon as the words fell, Sister-in-law Zhang suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes and added: "It's not all us who moved away!" Others have a share, too! Or go to their house and see, and they will take your things. You can't just settle accounts with us! ”
"Yes, that's it." Brother Zhang nodded again and again, "We don't have a few things at home, so we moved a big cabinet, and the rest of the things are next to us!" ”
At this point, they don't want to reflect on their mistakes, but are still trying to pull others into the water in order to prove that they are not wrong.
Xiao Man laughed angrily, "Why did you steal our things?" It's all ordinary wood furniture, you want it, don't you just make one yourself, why do you have to have something in our house? Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really want to, why don't you tell my dad that you have to do such a stealing thing? ”
Even if these people informed Su Qi at the beginning and wanted to use these furniture, even if they didn't give money, Xiao Man would at least not be as angry as he is now.
Xiao Man cares about these pieces of furniture made by Lu Li, and at the same time hates these people's behavior of taking them without telling them!
"Tut-tut."
Suddenly, there was a sound of smacking lips behind him, Xiao Man turned around to take a look, and found that there were so many villagers around, some from Bishui Village, and some from other villages who didn't know each other, everyone gathered in a semicircle, either outside the wall of Zhang's courtyard, or at the door of Zhang's house, all of them craned their necks to watch the play, and occasionally whispered a few words.
Seeing that Xiaoman turned around, one of the old ladies in her fifties stood up, raised her voice and said, "Ouch, you are all the dukes and dukes of the country, the family is so rich, and you are reluctant to give up these few pieces of broken furniture?" ”
With the words of this old lady, the people around him also blamed Xiaoman.
"Well, just a few pieces of broken furniture, is it all about making such a fuss? This stingy energy, return to the Duchess of the country! Lose face! ”
"It's not as generous as the aunt of the big family in the city!"
"Xiaoman! You went to Beijing once, why did you come back and become so stingy! Is Lu Li treating you harshly and not giving you money to spend! Hahaha! ”
As they spoke, these people began to ridicule again, completely ignoring Lu Li's presence.
Xiao Man's face became darker and darker, and Su Qi also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly explained seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, we found that the furniture in the house was moved, so we just came to ask, it's not at all, don't talk nonsense!" ”
But such a serious explanation was exchanged for bursts of laughter from others, ridiculing Su Qi for being old and not knowing how to joke.
Su Qi was about to explain, but was pulled by Xiao Man, she took a deep breath, and shouted at those people: "If you want to make a joke, go home and joke with your mother!" I want to see if you steal our things and make such a big noise here, if the official arrives later, do you dare to joke! ”
The roar full of energy, coupled with the threat of the official, made the surroundings quiet.
Seeing this, Lu Li lowered his eyes, looked down at the Zhang family and his wife, and said coldly: "Who stole our family's furniture, you should know clearly." If these people can return the stolen things one by one before dark, then I won't say anything, but if they won't, then don't blame me for doing business. ”
"We don't call stealing at all!" Brother Zhang stood up suddenly, his eyes widened and he glared at Lu Li, his fists clenched tightly, and he yelled and repeated Fang Cai's words again: "We don't call stealing at all!" Don't steal one bite at a time, don't say it so ugly! ”
"What's not called stealing? Dare to do such a thing, are you still afraid that we will say it? Xiao Man's mouth is unforgiving, and he is pressing step by step.
If it weren't for the coaxing of these people around him, where did Brother Zhang come from to be so bold and roaring? If it weren't for the so-called jokes made by the group of people around him with Su Qi, Xiao Man wouldn't have been so angry.
Not to mention Brother Zhang, let's just say that among these people around him, which one is not younger than his father? But they actually joked about such a serious matter, their father was serious, but they wanted to laugh at him, what kind of bastard logic is this.
was yelled at by Xiaoman, Brother Zhang lowered his head again, and Sister-in-law Zhang next to her wrapped her hands together and twisted the corners of her clothes, looking at the distance without making a sound.
Lu Li sighed, his tone softened a little, "You are old, besides, Xiaoman and I are coming back to visit relatives this time, I don't want to cause too much trouble, and you and my father-in-law have a good relationship, so this time you had better accept it when you see it, and notify those people in time to return the things." Otherwise, I don't know what a fierce person like Xiaoman will provoke. ”
In fact, Lu Li didn't have much feeling about this matter, but more for Su Qi's sake.
He and Xiaoman won't live in Bishui Village permanently, but Su Qi still has to live here, what if they make these people resentful because of this matter? Go to Beijing to complain to them, so that they will come to make decisions for him? This is unrealistic.
But if this matter is settled, then it is conceivable that these villagers will think that Lu Li is so easy to bully, then Su Qi will definitely be better to bully.
Su Xiaoling's family is doing business in Taoyuan County and has bought a house, so they must be living in Taoyuan County permanently, but Su Qi still has to continue to live in Bishui Village, in case these people bully Su Qi without knowing how to restrain him, even if he is powerful, he will not be able to appear in time to rescue Su Qi.
Therefore, this time, not only to let these people know that they are powerful, but also to give them a step, these people in the province are angry and angry, and they will be angry with Su Qi.
Seeing that the Zhang family and his wife still didn't say anything, Xiao Man snorted coldly, and made a gesture to go out, shouting: "Okay, since you don't want to pay it back, I always have a way to let you pay it back!" Anyway, I take care of this matter, even if it goes to the county master, even if I don't say Lu Li's identity, the county master has to stand on my side! ”
With that, Xiao Man walked out of the courtyard of the Zhang family.
The people who watched the excitement outside were stunned, and they didn't want Xiaoman to really go to hug the official. A few people gathered together, muttered a few words, and then quietly withdrew from the crowd, looked around, and after making sure that no one was looking at them, they hurriedly trotted home.
Su Qi wanted to rush up to stop him, but he was held by Lu Li, and he looked up at Lu Li in embarrassment, "Isn't this good?" ”
"I can't help it, you know Xiaoman's temperament, unless they return the furniture, even I can't stop it." Lu Li sighed and shook his head pretending to be embarrassed.
After speaking, he looked at the Zhang family and his wife again, "It's just a few pieces of furniture, you are so old, you don't really want to go to the prison for a walk, right?" ”
Without waiting for the two to speak, he shook his head and said: "I heard that this county master is a cannibal who doesn't spit out bones, even if you are not guilty, you have to take off a layer of skin before you can get out of the prison, let alone steal." ”
