When Xia Yinghan returned to Xia's house, there was no one in the courtyard, and at this time, the men were all working in the field except for Xia Anzong, who had inconvenient legs, Xia Mingyu, who was preparing for the township test, and Xia Minghui, who didn't know where to go crazy and played. Mrs. Xia and Xia Luzhu were whispering in the east wing, I don't know if it was the problem of popular science "eggs", Xia He was pit by his youngest son in the morning, and he was sulking in the room, while Xia Yingwei and Xia Sushi should be doing embroidery in their own room.

Put the wild vegetables in the fire room, Xia Yinghan returned to the house and hid the snakeberries and wild ginseng dug in the mountain and the beef jerky sent by Sha Xiuyuan, she thought about how to get to the town next. Xia Yinghan knew that the newly dug herbs would lose their medicinal properties if they were not treated and dried in time, but he didn't know how to deal with the herbs, so he could only sell them as soon as they were fresh. She thought of this when she was in the mountains, so when she dug it, there was still a lot of soil in the roots, so she thought that the herbs could be kept for a longer time.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously, Xia Yinghan fell into the water yesterday, and got up so early to work today, even a healthy body can't bear it, let alone the body of this weak chicken.

"Two girls! Two girls! Get the hell out of here! ”

Xia He's shouts came from outside the door, and there was a bit of anger and ruin. Xia Yinghan opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, she shouldn't have slept for long.

Walking out of the door, I saw Xia He standing in the yard and yelling at Xia Yingwei, "Second girl, where is the hen at home?" Did you steal it? ”

Xia He was sulking in the room for a while just now, and then he remembered that he was going to cook egg drop soup for Brother Zhi at night, so he thought of the chicken coop to see if the hen had laid eggs today, and he thought of it there, not to mention the eggs, even the hens were gone.

Xia Yingwei looked at Xia He inexplicably, and replied in an unhurried tone: "What is the eldest aunt talking about?" I didn't steal the chickens in the house! ”

"None? How can it be! Last night I saw the hen squatting there laying eggs in the chicken coop, and she was not there just to see it, isn't it the chicken you went to feed this morning? You've been there only during this time, and who else stole it, if you didn't steal it? ”

It turned out that the hen at home was gone, and it was still there when Xia He went to see it last night, but the hen disappeared after Xia Yingwei fed the chickens this morning, and Xia He thought it was stolen by Xia Yingwei. Xia Yinghan thought about it, there was such a plot in the original book, Xia He framed Xia Yingwei for stealing the hen at home, but Xia Yingwei found evidence to prove her innocence, and finally took advantage of this incident to separate Xia He and Xia's wife.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you doing again?" Mrs. Xia heard Xia He's ghost crying wolf howl in the house, and walked out of the room with a frown, followed by Xia Luzhu.

"Mother, don't blame me this time, it's the hen in the house that is gone, the only hen that lays eggs, mother!"

Mrs. Xia had just boiled two eggs for her baby daughter to eat in the morning, and her daughter had just said that she would eat them tomorrow. At this time, when he heard that the hen that laid the eggs was gone, his face suddenly changed, "What's the matter, how can the chicken be gone?" ”

"It was still there when I went to the chicken coop last night to look at it, but somehow it's gone now."

"And who else has been there?"

"The second girl went over to feed the chickens in the morning."

After Mrs. Xia heard this, she turned around and looked at Xia Yingwei with sharp eyes, "Second girl, did you steal the chicken?" ”

Xia Yingwei still said the same thing, "Milk, I didn't steal chickens!" ”

"Why didn't you steal it? You must be jealous that Brother Yu and Brother Hui have eggs to eat, so they thought about stealing the chicken and not giving it to us. ”

"What, second girl, why are your hearts so black! What's wrong with not giving you eggs. Who let you not have a mother who can let you eat eggs! Mother, let her take out the chicken, I have to eat eggs tomorrow! Xia Luzhu heard that it was Xia Yingwei who stole the hen, and immediately looked at her hatefully, shouting at her to hurry up and hand over the hen.

"Second girl, hand over the hen quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

Xia Yinghan watched it from the side, not without amazement. This is directly condemned Xia Yingwei!

Xia Anzong, who had just walked to the courtyard on crutches, heard his mother's words, and hurriedly said, "Mother, Sister Hua, she didn't steal chickens!" ”

"Uncle, she is your daughter, of course you helped her. Then tell me, from morning to now, only the second girl has been to the chicken coop, if she didn't steal it, who else stole it? ”

"This ...... This ......" Xia Anzong was so anxious that he was sweating. He stayed in the house all the time, how could he know who stole the chickens. He only knew that it was impossible for his daughter to steal chickens, but he was stupid, and he couldn't tell a meridian at a critical moment.

"Okay, stop arguing, and I'm not afraid of others seeing jokes." Old Man Xia's voice came from the gate of the courtyard. It turned out that Xia Su saw this situation and invited all the men who were working in the field back.

"Old man, there is a thief in the family, you said that we are such a quiet family, how could there be such a thing as stealing chickens and dogs."

Old man Xia boasted that his ancestors and grandchildren were all scholars, so he naturally valued his reputation more than anything else, thinking that if he was to become an official after being admitted to his brother's examination, there would be no stain on the family. Hearing the words of Mrs. Xia, she shouted at Xia Yingwei: "Second girl, you say, is it the chicken you stole from?" ”

After all, Old Man Xia is the head of the family, and his momentum is not comparable to that of Old Man Xia, Xia Yingwei was frightened by Old Man Xia's face turned slightly pale, but she still said firmly: "Master, I really didn't steal the chickens at home." I can prove my innocence. ”

When Old Man Xia heard this, his momentum was slightly retracted, "Oh, you said." ”

Xia Yingwei pondered the language for a while, and said slowly: "The eldest aunt said that she went to the chicken nest last night to see the hens, and the chickens were still there when I went to feed the chickens this morning, which means that the hens were not seen in the morning when I fed the chickens to the time when the eldest aunt went to see the hens." It took me less than a cup of tea to feed the chickens, and it was impossible to steal the chickens during that time, and the chicken nest was in the northeast corner of the yard, and at that time the third aunt was stacking wheat straw in the house next to the chicken nest, and if I left with the hen in my arms, it was impossible for the third aunt not to see it. As he spoke, he looked at Xia Su.

Xia Sushi nodded, "Yes, I was in that room at that time. When the second girl left, she was empty-handed. ”

Xia Yingwei continued: "After that, I went to the fire room and cooked with my cousin and aunt. ”

It's useless for this Xia He clan to deny it, because Xia Yinghan is still there.

"After eating, I went back to the house and never came out again."

"Who knows if you came out or not, maybe you stole ...... at that time?"

Xia Yingwei glanced at Xia He, Xia He was startled by the condensation at the bottom of her eyes, and choked back with the words behind.

Xia Yingwei looked at Old Man Xia, "Master, do you remember that Master Ji from the town asked me to help Old Mrs. Ji embroider a picture of longevity yesterday?" ”

Old Man Xia nodded, "Remember." ”

Xia Yingwei returned to the house, and after a while, she took out a shelf of embroidery, and looked closely, the yellow silk cloth had been embroidered with more than 20 characters.

In this way, it seems that the result is already obvious, if Xia Yingwei has been busy working this morning, and then plotting to steal chickens, it is impossible to have time to embroider Baishou Tu, and the font of Baishou Tu is complicated, even Xia Yingwei, who is good at embroidery, can't embroider so many words just by last night's time.

Until here, Xia Yingwei's suspicion of stealing chickens was completely lifted.

Xia Yinghan couldn't help but applaud her when she saw it, she deserved to be the heroine, she said it in an orderly and logical manner. Even the brutal Xia He clan couldn't find a loophole to slander her again.
