Chapter 187: Please let the lady decide
There was no rest for two days, Jiang Xi lay on the bed, didn't even take off his clothes, and fell asleep deeply.
It was a long night, she didn't even dream, she fell asleep sweetly, as if she had forgotten the time.
At this time, there was already a commotion in the courtyard outside.
Not long ago, a woman dressed as a peasant woman had fallen at the gate, and was seen by the porter, who immediately went into the courtyard and told the lotus seed who was coming out of the cellar.
Lianzi went out to take a look, and felt that the peasant woman was really a little pitiful, so she let her into the house and ate a cup of tea, and asked people to boil porridge and give her a drink.
Of course, before doing this, she first locked Jiang Chengze in the house. As for the Hong family, she had already been locked up in the courtyard next door, and under normal circumstances, she would not be released at all.
Even so, Jiang Xi still felt that it was not enough, and recently asked people to come out of the cellar in a room, planning to lock Jiang Chengze and the Hong family in two days.
Only when it is underground, can the river be completely assured.
While Lianzi was entertaining the poor peasant woman, Jiang Qian came out of the cellar halfway and was about to take something in. When he came out, he heard about it, so he immediately came over, looked at the peasant woman carefully, pulled the lotus seed to the corner and said:
"You can ask her clearly, now is a special period at home, you can't make a mistake, if you let some ill-intentioned people get in, what happens at that time, it's not something you and I can afford."
Lianzi had an indifferent attitude, and she was quite sympathetic to the peasant woman who had just heard her experience, so she said to Jiang Qian: "Don't worry, she is definitely not that kind of person, I also let her in because she is pitiful, and when she eats porridge later, I will give her a few more steamed buns and send her out."
Besides, before she came in, I had already let the master avoid it, and there would definitely be no problem. There's a lot going on in the cellar, so you can get busy first, and I'll come over when I'm done." ”
Jiang Qian originally had a lot of things in her hands, but seeing that Lianzi had promised like this, she didn't say anything more.
"Okay, you have to pay attention, there has never been such a person in our village before, be careful, I'll get busy first."
Sending Jiang Qian away, Lianzi still felt that she was worried too much, a poor woman, just abandoned by her husband's family, what kind of bad things could she do.
When she entered the house, she saw that the woman was still drinking the porridge in the bowl, and she smiled, it was impossible to be fine.
After drinking the porridge, the peasant woman suddenly got up and asked Lianzi, "Where is your latrine, I'm a little uncomfortable, and I want to go to the toilet." ”
"Oh, thatched toilet, it's in the front yard, you just walk over there."
Watching the peasant woman go out, Lianzi asked people to collect the porridge bowl here, and at the same time thought in her heart: This peasant woman is still a little interesting, and she talks like a city person. They all talk about going to the toilet in the countryside, but she is still so foreign, and it is interesting to go to the toilet.
Suddenly, her pupils shook, and she immediately stopped what she was doing and ran towards the yard in front of her.
There was something wrong with that peasant woman, a person who had grown up in a mountain village since she was a child, and was still rejected by her husband's family, how could she say such a thing. She regretted a little at this time, why didn't she listen to Jiang Qian, and pay more attention to this peasant woman.
She ran out, just in time to see the peasant woman groping her way to the well, and at this time the family was either busy in the backyard, or in the next yard, or went to the cellar, and only one or two people passed by in the front yard, and they looked so hurried that they did not notice the peasant woman's movements.
Lianzi was startled, and was still thinking about what she was doing at the well, when she suddenly saw the woman throw a packet of white powder into the well.
"Stop!" As soon as Lianzi scolded loudly, the peasant woman immediately reacted and was about to run out.
"Stop her!" With the reprimand just now, it has already attracted the attention of many people, so when Lianzi spoke again at this time, someone immediately rushed towards the peasant woman.
The door was originally closed, and in order to prevent Jiang Chengze from running around, the porter had always been very vigilant. Now, it's just the right time to stop the peasant woman.
Jiang Cheng ran out with a big man, not to mention the peasant woman, and under the wide patched skirt, there was a pair of small feet. Soon, she was caught.
The movement above was too big, Jiang Qian, who had just gone down, was startled again, and as soon as she came out of the cellar, she saw the lotus seed making people grab the peasant woman's side.
"What's wrong!"
As soon as Lianzi saw her, her face showed an apologetic look, she should have listened to Jiang Qian just now, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen to such a situation now.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Qian's intuition is not good, Lianzi just trusted the woman who was caught, and now it has become like this, it must be that the woman has done something unfavorable to the Jiang family.
"Sister Jiang Qian, this woman, she doesn't know who sent it, actually threw poison into our well. If I hadn't thought of what you just said and ran out to take a look, maybe none of us would have found out, and by the time we ate the water from the well, we would all have died! ”
Jiang Qian's expression changed suddenly, she had thought of countless possibilities before, and even thought that this woman might find out about Jiang Chengze and the Hong family, but she never thought that she would actually poison the well.
This well is too important in this house.
So many people rely on the water in this well for three meals a day, and some fruits and vegetables are also frozen by the well water in the summer, and most importantly, this well is needed very much for the sake brewing at home.
There is a problem with the well water, how can this wine be made!
"Send it to the government immediately, no! Directly locked up in the firewood room, be sure to ask what medicine she ordered! "It's too slow to send it to the government, and if you don't wait for the results to come out, maybe all of them will die of thirst.
Although it is said that you can go to other wells outside to fetch water, the water consumption at home is too bright, and the well in the village is too far away from here, so it takes too much effort to go back and forth.
"What are you still doing in a daze, go ask immediately!"
The peasant woman was not afraid at all, and snorted coldly: "If you dare to lynch me, then wait for the official to arrest you all!" ”
The two mothers-in-law who captured her had no fear at all, they had all worked in large families before, and the prisoners of large families had their own way of interrogating prisoners, so that people could not see that they were injured, but they were very painful punishments.
The woman was not a sufferable one at first glance, and perhaps her mouth was pried open before the first punishment was over.
A mother-in-law took a rag and stuffed it into the woman's mouth.
"Dare to threaten people, see what the old lady and others will do with you!"
Seeing the peasant woman being taken away by the two mothers-in-law, Lianzi came to Jiang Qian step by step.
"Sister Jiang Qian, this time I know it's wrong, if I was willing to take a closer look before, I can see that she is a little foot. It is generally impossible for a country woman to have small feet. ”
Jiang Qian glanced at her and said, "This time, fortunately, you found out in time." Actually, you don't have to apologize to me, in short, you can summarize it after one mistake, and it is best to avoid a second mistake.
There are some things down there, I'm going to get busy then, you go to the firewood room and keep an eye on it. By the way, the girl finally got a good night's sleep, so don't wake her up. ”
"Well, I've written it all down."
Jiang Qian returned to the cellar, thought about it and told the Li family about it.
"Madam, this may be someone sent by the Shen family, and after that girl is recruited, this matter will definitely have to be informed to the government in the end. And because the government is hindered by the status of our two families, it is definitely impossible to listen to our words in this matter, and it will definitely come over to investigate.
And once it is investigated, it will be difficult for us to hide the matter between the master and the Hong family next door. The girl wanted to tell you that she wanted to take the two of them to the cellar and keep them in the custody of a special person, so as not to cause any accidents. Now, it seems that it can only be brought forward.
Now the girl has not woken up, and you can only call the shots, madam. ”
Li Shi frowned, she didn't understand a little, in fact, she wanted to ask before, why did Jiang Xi have to lock Jiang Chengze in this house, and she was afraid that others would see it. Now, after listening to Jiang Qian's words, she was even more confused.
"It's okay for me to call the shots, Jiang Qian, you have to tell me, why can't you let the government and people outside find out that the two of them are in our house, this matter is not clear, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart."
"This ......" Jiang Qian hesitated for a moment, thinking that now that Madame has begun to make decisions in this family, the girl is already tired alone, and it is not easy to take care of Madame's emotions at all times. Anyway, sooner or later, Mrs. will know about this matter, so it is better to let her know now.
Glancing at the people who were doing things around them, those people suddenly understood, stopped what they were doing, and walked over one after another, leaving only Jiang Qian, Li and Xing'er here.
Jiang Qian pulled Li aside and whispered two words, but before Li could react, Xing'er covered her mouth first.
She never imagined that the person in the family would do such a thing.
Li was completely shocked, and the whole person stood motionless.
"Jiang Qian, what you said ......" Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva before forcing himself to ask, "What you said is true?" ”
"Madam, what am I lying to you about this kind of thing? If it weren't for this incident, why would the girl be so anxious to make wine now, all so that the rest of our family would not be implicated. Madam, I don't know what the relationship between you and the master was in the past, but now, you can no longer look at the master, even a penny.
Now while we are still torturing people, we still have time, we can get the master and the Hong family in, it's too late, and the people in the government will find out. Madam, please call the shots. ”
