Chapter 53: If You Didn't Steal, You Didn't Steal!
"Who gave you permission to search my house?" Jiang Xi looked at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and the things revealed in her eyes were terrifying.
Subconsciously, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family took a step back.
When she reacted to herself, after the action she did just now, the face of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family suddenly showed a look of shame and annoyance.
She, unexpectedly, was frightened back by a child.
Moreover, it is still in the case of her "reasonableness".
Reflecting this, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family hated to torture Jiang Xi with a branch.
Just as Jiang Xi stared at her, she also went back and stared at Jiang Xi.
"Your house stole something, why can't I search it? Not only will I search your house, but I will also search you, and you must hurry up and hand over the remaining six coins, or I will send you to the official mansion!" ”
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family threatened fiercely.
As soon as they heard the word "government", the Li family and Old Man Jiang were afraid.
The people do not fight with the officials, this is a saying handed down by the ancestors.
Regardless of whether you are reasonable or not, as long as you go to the government, the first thing you will face is a board.
It's like this on the Yamen side, go down with a board, and then interrogate.
If you are guilty, you will be imprisoned, and if you are not guilty, you will be released, but the board is also in vain.
Of course, at this time, if the person who slandered you has nothing to do with it, he will also suffer from that board, who let him delay the time of the eldest master in vain.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, there is no major event, and no one will choose to report to the official, after all, thirty boards are hit on the body, and ordinary people are afraid that it will be unbearable.
For example, Jiangxi's family is either old or young, and the only one who is in the prime of life is just a weak woman.
Thirty years down, maybe it will be difficult for their family to get through this month.
Although he was reluctant to give up the family's money, the Li family walked to Jiangxi's side at this time and persuaded Jiangxi.
"Xi'er, why don't we hand over the money. Mother can take the board, but your grandfather and grandmother are too poor to bear it. ”
The Li family has no money in his hands, and the previous money has been looted by the Zhou family.
Only Jiang Xi had five coins of silver that he took out to buy a jar in the morning.
The big ones are gone, what's the use of keeping the small ones, and it's even more impossible to change a board for these.
Isn't there still wine at home, it's a big deal to sell it for money next time.
Lee's idea is simple, to keep the family from any harm.
However, there is another point that she did not think of, which is from the spirit, from the heart.
Jiang Xi turned his head and asked, "Mother, if we pay this money, will it be equivalent to admitting that our family are thieves?" Mother, you can admit it, but I don't admit it, you ask grandpa and grandma, if they are willing to admit it! ”
Thief? Li shook her head, of course she didn't want to admit it, people live for a lifetime is a reputation. However, if they don't admit it now and don't give the money away, their family will be punished.
In the face of life, what is fame?
Li looked at the old man and the old lady with pleading, the old lady was confused and didn't say anything, but the old man showed a determined look.
"We can't admit this crime, we didn't steal it, we didn't steal, it's a big deal, we'll go to see the official! We can't lose this name, people have no name, and they don't have the face to see our ancestors when they die! ”
