Chapter 24: False accusations
Liu Xigui went home full of doubts, and Changzhu's daughter-in-law, like Ziling, looked at her in confusion.
Qingyun didn't want to explain anymore, she was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, she had to know who was behind her to beat her own idea, so she simply stewed it in a pot and stared at these things tiredly.
In the afternoon, the light cloud house was like a marquee, people kept coming in to talk, and even the people in the village who did not come to work here also probed their brains, ready to provide clues, and when they came and went, the fat sister-in-law hiding in the corner became panicked.
From time to time, winged silver bills flew in front of her, reaching out to grab them, but one by one they slipped through the cracks of her fingernails.
Thirty taels of silver, more than her brother sold gold, and she could buy a lot of delicious food, good clothes, and fun.
"Miss Ziling, I have a stomachache and want to go home and take some medicine, and I'll be back in a while." The fat sister-in-law changed her sour appearance from the past, and said to Ziling with low eyebrows.
Zi Ling got Qingyun's explanation, and she didn't embarrass her, and not long after she walked out, Zi Ling and the Changzhu family secretly followed behind.
The fat sister-in-law went around the village, sneakily ran to the back of Liu Wang's house, pulled out a package from the grass, saw that there was no one around, threw it hard, threw it into the yard of Liu Wang's house, and then patted the soil on her body and ran to Qingyun's house.
Soon, everyone in the workshop heard that it was Liu Wang's stolen meat.
Liu Wang's has always been against Qingyun, and he has done a lot of things about chickens and dogs, and the fat sister-in-law is her neighbor, so after listening to her, several people believe that Liu Wang's did it.
Changzhu's daughter-in-law had already brought Liu Xigui over, and the old man glanced around with a piercing gaze, and finally landed on the fat sister-in-law of the whistleblower.
"You said it was stolen by the Wang family, but is there any evidence?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, and if I don't believe you, you should go to her house and search it now."
So everyone went to Liu Xiqing's house.
Zhou, who was working in the house, heard the noise and was unknown, so he poked his head out and saw the fat sister-in-law leading the village chief, Song Qingyun and some villagers into the courtyard.
In the upper house stove room, Wang was happily pouring water into the pot, God was kind, gave her a bag of meat, and worshiped God on the spot that she was happy, and she didn't think about the strangeness at all.
Liu Xigui and his entourage broke in, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes clearly saw the pig's trotters and hooves boiling in the pot, no more, no less, there were ten of the same, wasn't it the meat lost by the Qingyun family?
"What are you doing?" Liu Wang didn't have time to close the lid of the pot, so he glared at the people who came in.
The fat sister-in-law shook her head proudly, "See, I'm not talking nonsense." ”
Liu Xigui had a gloomy face, glanced at the smug fat sister-in-law, and walked into the courtyard with a cold snort.
Liu Xiqing, who came back after hearing the news, and his eldest son Liu Changlin hurried over, and saw Liu Xigui's black face, and the honest Liu Xiqing couldn't even let out a fart, Liu Changlin saw this and asked loudly, "What are you doing at my house?" ”
"Someone reported that your mother stole the meat in Qingyun's workshop, and the big guy also saw it, the meat was stewed in your pot, and the human and material evidence were all there, so you should quickly give Qingyun an explanation."
"What?" Liu Wang ran out of the house, slapped the fire stick in his hand and slapped the ground, raised his voice and howled, "Which one said it with a lost conscience?" This is a gift from God, when did I steal meat? If you dare to frame me, I will call Changchun to come back and arrest you all. ”
"God sent it?" Liu Xigui sneered when he heard this.
"Wang, your ability to make up nonsense is getting bigger and bigger, God sees you jumping in the village every day, and rewards you?"
"It's for rewarding me, otherwise how can it be placed in my yard?"
Liu Xigui's gaze swept to the fat sister-in-law who was gloating on the side, "Changjun's daughter-in-law said that she saw you stealing it from the Qingyun Workshop." ”
"What?" Liu Wang's picked up the burning stick and hit the fat sister-in-law, the ghost cried wolf howl and scolded very ugly, the fat sister-in-law is also a difficult master, in order to confirm that her report is true, and Liu Wang's-for-tat against Mai Mang, on the full martial arts.
Looking at the lively Zhou's face in the house, no wonder the fat sister-in-law squeezed her eyebrows at herself last night, she thought that she had found out what news about Song Qingyun, but she never thought that she would be a thief and frame her mother-in-law.
She understands the truth of both prosperity and loss, the little uncle got the official position of the county order after a few years outside, she thought that in the future, if Brother Lin and Brother Yun want to have a future, they will inevitably rely on the little uncle's family, so no matter how unhappy she is with Tang Xiuzhi, she doesn't dare to break off contact with the little uncle's family.
Now that his mother-in-law has been framed for stealing, Liu Changchun will definitely complain that his brother did not take good care of his father and mother after knowing it, and the future of his two sons is also uncertain.
She hates the stupidity of the fat sister-in-law, you are insatiable to steal things, don't splash dirty water on this courtyard, waste your usual care for her, and even count her mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Zhou hurriedly went out and pushed Liu Changlin to pull his mother out.
Qingyun looked at the joke from the side, Ziling and Changzhu's family saw the fat sister-in-law's actions clearly, and the reason why she didn't expose it on the spot was because she wanted to see the scene in front of her.
She can't ask Liu Wang to scold for so many days in vain, and she is afraid that she will not be able to remember the lesson.
Liu Xigui scolded the two impatiently, he just wanted to solve the problem quickly, "Since the meat has entered your family's pot, I will fold the silver and return it to Qingyun, a total of ten taels, this is still half of the silver that Qingyun Nian received in the past." ”
"What?" Liu Xiqing's family was dumbfounded, especially Zhou's, looking at the fat sister-in-law's eyes full of resentment, the fat sister-in-law was puzzled, and she was stunned for a while and didn't know what to do.
"Uncle Xigui, how could my mother steal meat? Not to mention anything else, there are at least twenty catties of meat, can my mother have the strength to walk home from the river? Besides, would my mother be so stupid as to blatantly leave the stew at home for the big guy to see? Obviously, the fat sister-in-law is lying to my mother, if you can't uphold justice, let's go to the county seat to find my brother to make it clear. ”
Qingyun looked at the angry Liu Changlin quietly, in her memory of her four years in the Liu family, this eldest brother did not do anything to herself, in order to protect herself, Song Qingyun endured humiliation and flattered Zhou, washed her laundry and took the children to cook, only to avoid Liu Changlin's salty pig hands again and again.
What he said is right, the analysis is in place, the fat sister-in-law deliberately framed Liu Wang's family in order to get a bounty of thirty taels, and took advantage of her grudge with the Liu family, not only to be a bitch but also to set up a chaste archway, and all the good things made her occupied.
"Qingyun, what Changlin said is right, do you think the Changjun family is lying?" Liu Xigui has lived as an old goblin, how could he offend Liu Changchun, who was an official in the city, and threw the hot potato back in an instant.
Qingyun sighed in his heart, in the end, the foundation is shallow, he is in front of Liu Xigui, he is a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
"Uncle, you can do whatever you say, I will listen to you." Song Qingyun blessed his body, respectfully and obediently, and Liu Xigui nodded with satisfaction.
