037 Catch thieves and catch stolen goods
After Zhou Huihui proved it, she crossed her waist and raised her head to stare at Zhang Li.
Zhang Li also knew that she was wrong to blame people, but she was unwilling, her family was missing so many meters, so she had to find it back.
"My family's rice was indeed stolen, even if it wasn't stolen by your family, someone else stole it!"
Everyone took a step back, fearing that the spearhead would be pointed at them.
Jiang Xiaonian said in a timely manner: "Brother Ying said that he saw the uncle of the Zhang family stealing rice, and you don't believe it." ”
At this time, her words were taken seriously.
Zhang Li immediately threw the eye knife at Zhang Da and said, "Big brother, don't you mind if we go to your house to have a look?" ”
The two brothers, Zhang Xing and Zhang Da, have long since separated, and they live their own lives, even if they are brothers, they can't do such a thing as stealing rice.
Zhang Da was a little flustered, rubbed his hands and said, "Do you believe what the child said?" What are you going to my house for no reason? ”
Zhang Li didn't care about this, and rushed out of the kitchen directly and walked to Zhang Da's house not far away.
When everyone saw it, there was another good show, and they hurriedly followed.
Jiang Mengliang and others also followed.
After coming to Zhang Da's house, Zhang Li rushed straight into the kitchen.
Zhang Da's daughter-in-law, Zhang Luo, is adding firewood to the stove.
Seeing that so many people came to the house at once, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Luo was thin and thin, wearing a coarse cloth robe covered with patches, like a skeletal shelf in clothes, and his whole face was sunken because of his thinness.
Zhang Da looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Li didn't care about Zhang Luo, and rushed directly to the kitchen to rummage left and right, and finally found a small bag of rice in the corner of a cabinet.
"Good! Zhang Da, it turns out that you are really this rice thief! ”
After that, Zhang Li took the small bag of rice in front of everyone, opened it and looked at it, it was exactly the same as his own rice.
"I really didn't expect that it would be difficult to prevent thieves! made me quarrel with the Zhou family for a long time, but it turned out that you were the one who stole the rice! ”
Zhang Luo timidly walked up to Zhang Da, looked at him and asked softly, "Didn't you buy this rice back today?" Why did she say it was stolen? Explain it to everyone. ”
Zhang Li looked at the two of them with his chest crossed, and snorted softly: "I want to listen, what else do you have to say!" ”
After turning around in place a few times, Zhang Da said, "I, this, this is indeed what I took from my second brother's house." ”
Before Zhang Li could speak, Zhang Luo had already taken the lead in asking: "How can you do this!" ”
Zhang Da's face was flushed and said: "The doctor said that you can't give birth because your body is too weak and you eat too little, I, I want to let you eat more and see if you can raise your body better......"
Zhang Luo's body is indeed too thin, Jiang Xiaonian secretly thought, it's strange that this body can give birth to children, it is estimated that the eldest aunt has stopped.
Most of the people here are underfed and clothed, and there are not a few people who have the idea of stealing food, and Zhang Da is not the only one.
Zhang Da's family is the main force of him, Luo was an orphan before he married, because Zhang Da's care did not starve to death, grateful for his care, although Luo is almost ten years younger than Zhang Da, but still promised.
It's just that his body is too weak and he often gets sick, and Zhang Da's family can't get by, so he wants to go to his brother's house to steal some rice to fill his stomach.
After the Jiang family learned about the situation of Zhang Dajia's family, they also fell into silence.
Zhang Luoshi was very ashamed because his father-in-law was a rice thief, and hurriedly returned the remaining rice at home to Zhang Li with a red face.
Although there was less, Zhang Li didn't say anything, but couldn't help muttering: "Don't do this in the future, you are not the only one who can't eat enough at home, and our family is not having a good time!" This rice is still left in the fields the year before last, and we are reluctant to eat it, so we can only keep it until now. ”
After that, she looked at Zhou Huihui and the others embarrassedly: "Zhou family, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, the villagers, it's good that the misunderstanding is solved, I hope you don't care!" ”
Zhou Huihui's family is not unforgiving, since the matter has been clarified, they have not been investigated.
After the excitement was over, the crowd dispersed.
When Zhou Huihui was leaving, she glanced at Zhang Luo, who was standing at the door, bit her lip, and said to Liu: "Brother and sister, how many catties of rice will we give to their families?" I'll send some more tomorrow. ”
Zhou Huihui really couldn't bear to see Zhang Luo's appearance, it was too worrying.
Now that I have a little more money on hand, I happen to have this thing again, so I can help if I can.
Liu is a person who has no idea, and when he heard Zhou Huihui say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to my sister." ”
So, Zhou Huihui scooped up about five catties of rice and gave it to Zhang Luoshi: "Your body is too thin, I don't have much here, don't dislike it, take it first." ”
Zhang Da and Zhang Luo received five catties of rice from Zhou Huihui in gratitude, thanked them again and again, and almost knelt down.
"I can only help this once, and you can live the rest of the day."
Dou Mien is promoted to hatred, saving the emergency is not helping the poor, Zhou Huihui still understands these truths.
It's past noon now, and when it's time to eat, Zhou Yuming left his sister's family to eat here, and Li Tiezhu, who came to help with Jiang Mengliang, was also stayed.
Zhou Huihui was worried that Jiang Wei would not have anything to eat, but then remembered that there were still two leftover cakes in the kitchen from the morning, and he should have eaten them hot.
After this toss, everyone's appetite was quite good at noon.
Zhou Huihui looked at the flour that her mother's family did not store much, it was very coarse, so she discussed it with Jiang Mengliang and told her younger brother how to make a stone mill.
When Zhou Yuming learned about the production method of the stone mill, he was so excited that he was about to jump up.
"Brother-in-law, it turns out that your flour is like this? I'll just say how detailed it is! ”
Jiang Mengliang was very enthusiastic, afraid that Zhou Yuming was not a craftsman and could not understand, so he gave him a detailed explanation.
In the afternoon, Zhang Da came with Zhang Luo, carrying a handful of wild vegetables in his hand.
After pondering at home for a long time, Zhang Luo always felt that he couldn't harvest the Zhou family's rice in vain, so he poked her legs like two thin chopsticks and went to the mountains and fields to find some wild vegetables and wanted to give them to them.
Zhang Da stood aside with an embarrassed face and said to Zhou Huihui: "I told my daughter-in-law about today's incident just now, she said that we did something wrong, and we must apologize, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have opened my mouth to bite people and slander you." ”
Zhou Huihui looked at him funny and said, "This is your daughter-in-law's reasoning, don't you think so?" ”
Zhang Da hurriedly added: "I also think I did something wrong!" I'm sorry. ”
Seeing that his attitude was good, Zhou Huihui said with a smile: "Forget about this matter today, I don't care about it, just don't do this immoral thing in the future." ”
"Thank you sister for not caring about it, my family will not do this in the future, this is the wild vegetable we just picked, if my sister doesn't dislike it, take it back and eat it."
