Chapter 237: Confusing
After Song Zhutou's reminder, Muramasa Niu Laifu also came back to his senses.
Listening to the meaning of Song Zhutou's words, either the food lost by Niu Fugui's family was done by their own family, or it was not done by ordinary people, it is likely that Niu Fugui's family offended some capable person and was retaliated against.
Knowing the thief's motives, even if he still doesn't know who the thief is, Niu Laifu is relieved.
He was so anxious before, and the only thing he was worried about was that if the thief hid in the village, he would harm more villagers.
But now it seems that whether Niu Fugui's family has been robbed or offended, to put it bluntly, Niu Fugui has done it himself, and it is not very harmful to other villagers.
Speaking of whether Niu Fugui's family offended people, Niu Laifu remembered what he heard a few days ago.
Niu Dazhu lost his job in the town, and this matter spread widely in the village, and as the head of a village, it was difficult for him to know it.
He believed that Niu Dazhu was framed, after all, Niu Dazhu also grew up, and he was a person who knew the current affairs very well, even if he wanted to steal, he would not steal the money of Yang Gongzi's friends, after all, none of those people he could offend, Niu Dazhu didn't have the courage.
Niu Laifu also thought at the time, why did people frame him, and now Song Zhutou asked about this, Niu Laifu thought about it, these days, Niu Fugui's family is really a disaster, first Niu Dazhu lost his livelihood, and now it is Niu Fugui's family who has just harvested the theft of grain, maybe this family has really offended some big person.
But Niu Dazhu was obviously reluctant to say this in front of Song Zhutou, and Niu Laifu was not very good at dismantling the stage in person, after all, they were all villagers, so they could save some face, but in their hearts, it was better to be concerned about the loss of grain in Niu Fugui's family.
It's not that he is irresponsible in this village, but the current situation proves everywhere that Niu Fugui's family is not innocent, isn't it stupid for him to worry about it again.
Niu Laifu and Song Zhutou both had their own plans in their hearts, but these were not known to Niu Dazhu and Niu Fugui.
On the contrary, Niu Dazhu felt that this meal was not bad, even if the grain could not be recovered, he would open a shop in the town in the future to do business, and it would be good to be able to deal with people like Song Zhutou, so he would not be at a loss......
To put it bluntly, Niu Dazhu is still selfish, he only calculates the gains and losses of his small family, and his parents are behind him, not to mention the other two brothers.
In the next few days, Song Zhutou and two catchers visited many families in the village, not only inquired about Niu Dazhu's loss of work in the town due to 'theft', but also inquired about Niu Fugui's family seven years ago, as if he had conjured up a fortune out of thin air, and added ten acres of land to his family, three yards, and several rooms.
Niu Fugui said to the outside world that it was the money left by his ancestors, but Song Zhutou's keen intuition told him that this matter was not so simple.
Another point, Niu Dazhu's 'theft' incident, the stolen customer was a friend brought by the son of Yang Fangzheng's family in the town.
That Yang Gongzi, speaking of which, is still a good friend with the son of their county master, he can't understand how this matter can still involve Yang Gongzi.
Song Zhutou felt that this case was becoming more and more confusing.
Niu Fugui's family didn't know that Song Zhutou was secretly investigating these things, and they still entertained Song Zhutou and the three of them every day.
And Niu Fugui has not been so persistent in retrieving grain because of Niu Dazhu's flamboyant tongue in the past few days, but has strongly supported Niu Dazhu to get along with characters like Song Zhutou.
