Chapter 40: Thieves are Hard to Prevent
If you follow Mai Xiaohuan's meaning, you don't need Qu Hao to send you at all, just send a car. Qu Zhiyi and Lin refused to do anything, and Qu Hao also comforted Mai Xiaohuan that he could read his book while sitting in the car, and he didn't delay anything at all.
They set off in the morning, so they arrived in Mingle County early, found a restaurant and ordered a few side dishes, and after eating in a hurry, Mai Xiaofang proposed to visit the county seat. Who knows when the next time it will be, maybe never have a chance again in this life!
After seeing the prosperity of Qingcheng County, Mai Xiaofang has been able to calmly face the very noisy streets and crowded crowds in Mingle County in the evening......
When they returned to the inn, they had just entered the lobby when they heard a voice full of resentment: "Are you guys having fun?" I didn't even eat lunch and came to chase you, you guys are good, it's good to be out and about, no, I want to compensate. ”
It was because I was afraid that you would come with me, and because I was afraid that your family would miss us too much, so why did I still chase after us, and I was too persistent!
Looking at Mai Xiaofang, who pursed her lips with disgust and snorted coldly, Tang Yujun felt this grievance in his heart, in order to be able to send her, he agreed to several unequal conditions for his mother! I don't know how to be like I was lost, so I was willing to revolve around Mai Xiaofang, whether I was scolded or reprimanded, my mind never changed.
shouldn't have come, not to mention that it was already dark, Qu Hao asked the store to arrange another guest room, and Tang Yujun didn't care if they had dinner or not, and ordered another table of dishes, so he had to let a few people accompany him to eat again.
With the experience last time, this time Qu Hao and Mai Xiaohuan took one away one by one, and refused to let the two chat alone. Although Tang Yujun hasn't figured out his mind yet, and Mai Xiaofang is completely in the dark, Qu Hao and Mai Xiaohuan are not confused. They don't want this relationship that has not yet started to be favored to continue to develop, and they are even more afraid that Mai Xiaofang will be hurt.
The Mai sisters were like arrows, and they got up early the next morning, and when Qu Hao and Tang Yujun hadn't woken up yet, they packed up their things. When I met Tang Yujun last night, it was already dark, so no one paid attention to what he was bringing and how many cars he was carrying. When I saw it this morning, I startled the two sisters, and the things alone were full of two big cars, plus Tang Yujun's car, and his mount, if you count the Qu family's car, this lineup is estimated to be one of the best in Pingliang County.
Mai Xiaohuan's creed is to be a low-key person and make money quietly, and at present, it seems that it is impossible to be low-key. In Shaxi Village and Pingliang County, a small village girl recognized the son of the county guard as a righteous brother, and I am afraid that the news has spread all over the world. Mai Xiaohuan never wanted to use the relationship between herself and Qu Hao to seek anything, but she was afraid that others would not think like this.
After packing up their things, the two of them returned upstairs, and when they were discussing whether to wake up the people who were still sleeping, Qu Hao's door opened from the inside.
"I'll shoot Tang Yujun's door." Mai Xiaofang rolled up her sleeves, took three steps and made two steps to Tang Yujun's door, "pop, pop" and slapped the door, attracting many guests to look at the hotel.
"Who! Disturbed the master's dream, can you afford to pay for it? I don't care about you! ”
Mai Xiaofang crossed her waist and shouted at the door: "Let's get out, you can continue dreaming here!" After waking up, I'll go back to Qingcheng County, just because I don't want to serve an uncle like you! Every time she goes to her house, she makes a fuss, and Mai Xiaofang sometimes suspects that this and her eldest sister are long-lost relatives, and each one is more capable than the other.
"Don't, don't, I'll get up." Tang Yujun was dressed in a coat haphazardly, his hair was fluffy, and he opened the door with sleepy eyes, and gently patted his yawning mouth with one hand, and he didn't know that he thought he had read it at night!
Because of the long distance between the cars, even if the Mai sisters are in a hurry, they are embarrassed to urge the driver again and again.
When the carriage entered Shaxi Village, it was already evening, there were few pedestrians in the village, and the gate of his house was closed, and no one appeared. Where has the family gone? As soon as Mai Xiaohuan's hands touched the gate, she was held down by Mai Xiaofang, and she turned around and motioned everyone to keep quiet, because she heard a sound in her yard.
Mai Xiaofang walked to the courtyard wall, lay on it and listened carefully, turned her head to find a place where the terrain was high and easy to climb the wall, and in the surprised eyes of Qu Hao and Tang Yujun, she tucked her skirt and climbed up the wall with both hands and a few clicks. He rode on it and observed the situation in the courtyard, pressed his hands on the wall, and jumped in.
Mai Xiaohuan hurriedly put his ear on the door, heard the sound of opening the deadbolt inside, and beckoned Tang Yujun to help him open the door.
When a few people cautiously opened the door, Mai Xiaofang had already picked up the wooden stick that Shan Cuihua usually used to greet her, bent her waist, and tiptoed close to the door. Mai Xiaohuan pointed at Qu Hao and Tang Yujun, and then pointed to the gate, does this mean that he wants them to guard the gate?
Tang Yujun nodded excitedly, looking at Mai Xiaofang's eyes full of admiration, heroine! I'll follow her in the future!
Mai Xiaohuan beckoned Qu Fu and the Tang family's family and the coachman to surround the house, and went around to the door herself, and after the sisters confirmed that the sound came from their father's house, they moved to the door together.
How could Qu Hao let two girls go on an adventure! He was about to let the subordinate he brought over to take a look, when he saw the window next to Mai Xiaofang being pushed open from the inside, and a figure squeezed out with difficulty, just when she stepped on the windowsill with one foot and the other foot had not moved out, Mai Xiaofang picked up the wooden stick in her hand and hit it the man's leg.
"Oops! Oh my mother! I hurt my mother to death, which person dares to attack me, I want to die! ”
This voice is so familiar! Looking at that figure again, Mai Xiaohuan instantly knew who this thief was. She could hear it, and Mai Xiaofang could naturally hear it, she gritted her teeth, raised the stick again, and was about to do it again, but was stopped by her sister.
With so many people, she can't run away anyway, and when she comes down, she wants to hear how she explains.
Wu limped off the ground, groping with his right hand in his arms, and a piece of cloth under his left armpit.
Now that the human and physical evidence are available, Mai Xiaohuan walked to the opposite side of the Wu family, didn't speak, and just stared straight at her like that.
"Little ...... Xiao Huan...... You're back! "Wu wanted to hide the cloth behind him, but unfortunately the target was too big, and it was not suitable to put it.
"Auntie, what are you holding in your hand?" Mai Xiaofang threw the stick in her hand and pulled back the fabric of her house. This man is not fighting for food and drink in the face now, but has he been a thief in secret?
Wu felt that the things in his hands were being snatched away, so he became angry and pounced on them to snatch them back. Tang Yujun ran over and pushed Wu hard, Wu took several steps back, trying to stabilize his body, but in the end he didn't succeed, he sat on the ground with his butt and "crackled" something rolled out of her arms.
Mai Xiaohuan leaned over to take a look, a silver hairpin, a few pieces of broken silver, a pair of Xinna's soles, and a new pair of scissors.
She is not afraid of being pierced, Mai Xiaohuan especially admires the aunt's mind, she doesn't dislike anything, no matter how small things are, as long as she sees them, she will want to keep them for herself.
"I guess she still has something in her arms." Tang Yujun held his chin and helped Sister Mai analyze the situation in front of him, if he was a woman, he would probably have gone over to search his body.
"It's gone, it's really gone." Wu thought that everything had been taken back, and there was nothing to do, so he stood up and patted the floating soil on his body, and prepared to leave.
How could Mai Xiaofang let her leave! She and Tang Yujun stood side by side in front of the Wu family, and those family members also came around, Mai Xiaohuan pulled Qu Hao to the side and discussed in a low voice for a while, Qu Hao got into the carriage, and the family handed in a wind lantern.
After a while, Qu Hao got off the carriage with a piece of paper, Mai Xiaohuan took it and looked at it, turned to Wu and said, "It's okay if the eldest lady wants to leave, just put a handprint on it, otherwise I will ask someone to go to the village chief to give a comment." ”
Wu's face stiffened, she didn't expect Mai Xiaohuan to do this, she didn't want to press her handprint, let alone find the village chief, if the family knew that he went to his brother's house to steal things, and was caught red-handed by his niece, he would have to beat himself hard.
The youngest son has not yet married a daughter-in-law, and the daughter has not yet married a rich man, so such a shameful thing must not be known to outsiders.
"Xiao Huan, we are relatives, we can't let outsiders see the joke, no, let me tell you, this cloth was given to me by your mother, and the silver or something I have been carrying with me all the time, it really is not your family, okay, I have finished the matter, and it is time to go back to drink the wine."
"My dad and mom are going to drink too!" Then you see that there is no one in our family, so you have the idea of stealing things, if you don't come back with your second sister today, the loss of the family will be great.
Wu wanted to divert Mai Xiaohuan's attention, she thought that children like to join in the fun, if she said that the grandson of the uncle's family married a daughter-in-law today, this girl would go to the banquet and watch the excitement, maybe she would expose her own matter!
She talked endlessly about the grand occasion of the wedding, and Tang Yujun didn't know what others thought, but it was true that his interest was successfully hooked. Mai Xiaohuan spread the paper on the table and told Wu that if she wanted to leave, she would press her handprint quickly, and as long as she didn't make trouble in the future, she would let this matter rot in her stomach.
This dead girl is not over yet, Wu wanted to grab the piece of paper, Qu Hao was afraid that Mai Xiaohuan would be hurt, so he blocked her behind him, and asked Wu lightly whether he would draw now, or wait for him to invite the county order tomorrow.
After weighing it, Wu pressed the handprint aggrievedly, turned his head and planned to slip away, there was still a big piece of silver in his arms, if they didn't leave, if they remembered this stubble, how would they deal with it!
Mai Xiaohuan folded the piece of paper carefully and put it in her arms, hoping that after this incident, the eldest mother could be more restrained.
