The two groups stood on either side and confronted each other again.

Jiang Mengliang glared at the group of people in front of him: "Why are you bullying my lady!" ”

Zhang Li's face was embarrassed, and he didn't forget to shout loudly: "You ask yourself, what good things did their Zhou family do!" Your daughter-in-law is no longer from the Zhou family, and she has to come out hard, she came out to this troubled water by herself! ”

"It's not right for you to slander my nephew!" Zhou Huihui is not to be outdone.

When Liu heard this, he couldn't help but say, "My Xiaoying didn't steal your rice. ”

"I saw that bag of rice at your house, it weighs about the same as the rice we lost, and you still don't admit it!"

"This is my sister-in-law!"

Noisy and noisy, the conversation enters an endless loop again.

"If your child hadn't come to my house to steal rice, how could he hide next to my house and sneak around?!"

The five-year-old child was still a little unclear, but he could understand Zhang Li's words, and while holding his grandfather and crying, he sobbed: "I didn't steal rice, I saw Uncle Zhang, so I took a look." ”

"Take a look? My head of the family was not at home just now, and I didn't make drafts when I lied! ”

Zhang Xing also hurriedly said: "That's it, I used to work hard in the field, if it weren't for this little rabbit cub, my family would have lunch now!" ”

Zhou Ying was frightened and cried again by their roar, hugged her grandfather's thigh tightly, and said in a vague voice while crying: "It's not this, it's that." ”

Adults couldn't understand what he was saying, so they didn't care.

Only Jiang Xiaonian secretly pulled Zhou Ying into the house.

Zhou Ying saw that she was the sister of her aunt's family, and her mood was much more stable, Jiang Xiaonian took out a cake from her pocket and handed it to him, which was left over from the morning.

When Zhou Ying finally stopped sobbing, Jiang Xiaonian patiently asked him what happened today.

The adults outside are still arguing, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and no one will give in.

"I don't care, you have to return the stolen rice, and you have to compensate us for our losses!"

"This is my family's rice, how can I give it to you for nothing!"

Just when the two sides were arguing, Jiang Xiaonian walked out.

"Brother Ying just said that it was the uncle of the Zhang family who stole the rice of the second uncle of the Zhang family."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at Jiang Xiaonian.

After a few seconds of silence, everyone looked at Zhang Da on the side.

Zhang Da's expression changed on his face, and he was a little at a loss, pointing at Jiang Xiaonian and stammering: "You, what nonsense are you talking about!" You guys were caught stealing rice, just, you want to rely on me?! ”

After that, he yelled at the surroundings: "Don't believe her, fellow neighbors, I didn't expect such a little kid to know how to lie!" ”

Everyone nodded, saying that they couldn't believe the child's words, and they didn't know who taught them.

It is in a stalemate again.

After Jiang Xiaonian thought about it for a while, he looked at Zhang Li and said, "This aunt, I don't know how many meters your family has lost, can you take it out for everyone to see?" ”

Zhang Li waved his right hand and said, "I can sit up straight, are you still afraid that I will slander you?!" My rice is in the rice jar, you can see it, and there is a newly dug rice hole on it! At first glance, it was scooped away in a hurry. ”

After that, he said to the others: "Let's come and see, comment, whether my rice has been stolen!" ”

Everyone walked to Zhang Xing's house, except for the Zhou family, everyone else watched the excitement.

Jiang Xiaonian saw that Zhang Da was leaving, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Zhang, where are you going?" Brother Ying said that you stole the rice, why don't you go and take a look now, why are you leaving? ”

Zhang Da blushed and said, "I don't have time to accompany you to make trouble, I have to go home to cook!" ”

Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui now have a tacit understanding with Jiang Xiaonian, and when they heard her say this, they hurriedly echoed: "Figure out this matter before leaving, I've been watching the excitement for so long, and I'm still in a hurry at this time?" Or are you a thief? ”

Li Tiezhu stepped forward to block Zhang Da, glaring at him with his hands on his chest.

Zhang Da had no choice but to stiffen his neck and say: "Don't talk nonsense, just go, I really have to get my innocence today!" ”

Everyone continued to walk towards Zhang Xing's house.

Zhang Xing's house is also an adobe house, but it is relatively new, and the kitchen is on the left side of the courtyard, and everyone goes straight to the kitchen.

There was a big vat in the corner of the kitchen, Zhang Li seemed to prove something, hurriedly walked over, pointed to the rice jar and said: "You see, there is such a big hole scooped in the middle, and the rice next to it has not had time to fall, if we eat it ourselves, how can we eat so much!" ”

The crowd nodded.

Jiang Xiaonian also got into the crowd and lay next to the rice jar to take a closer look.

There are indeed traces of being scooped here, and most people will smooth out the rice after scooping it, and there is a deep rice hole in front of them.

However, the rice is slippery, and there are always some that flow into the scooped holes, and the reason why the rice holes here can be kept for so long is because the rice is very old, and the luster on it has been lost, and there are a lot of small yellow dust in it, which should be last year's old rice.

Jiang Xiaonian had a number in his heart.

Just as Zhang Li was pointing to the rice hole and saying something, Jiang Xiaonian asked Zhou Huihui to go and bring the rice they brought.

"Let Jean, let Jean, Zhang Li, you said that we stole your rice, now let you see if we stole it!"

Zhou Huihui walked over with a bag of rice.

Zhang Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "What?" And now admit it again? Give us back the rice? Let me tell you, not only the rice, but also the medical expenses for the medical expenses you injured me will also be compensated to me! ”

When Jiang Xiaonian asked Zhou Huihui to get rice before, he said the difference between old rice and new rice, and Zhou Huihui was full of confidence at the moment.

She beckoned all the villagers who were watching the excitement and said: "The villagers have come to see, this rice jar is their rice, and this sack is the rice I brought today, see what the difference is!" ”

Everyone stretched out their heads in unison to look.

Zhang Li still looked disdainful and didn't think there was any difference in rice.

Zhou Huihui grabbed a handful of rice and put it in her hand, so that everyone could see it more realistically.

"Look, our rice was bought in the town, and it was new rice in the first half of this year, and it was still white, and it was shiny on it."

After that, she ignored Zhang Li's obstruction and grabbed a handful of them from the rice jar, sent it to everyone and said: "Look at the Zhang family's rice again, it is all yellowed, and there is a layer of ash on it, it is obviously last year's old rice, maybe it is still the year before last, you say, is this the same kind of rice?!" ”

Everyone felt that Zhou Huihui was reasonable, and nodded in unison.

Zhang Li didn't believe it, so he squeezed through the crowd, and after a long time, his face gradually changed.

These two kinds of rice are indeed different, but if Zhou Ying hadn't stolen her family's rice, then where would her family's rice have gone for no reason?
