In the end, under Xie Qingshan's intercession, Wu Qingxi was exempted from hanging and his wife's exile, and the crime was reduced to one degree, and he was only convicted of stealing 50 times.

Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ying Yiyuan Sun and the two took a stick, took off Wu Qingxi's pants, and in the cold wind of the winter, in full view of everyone, gave Wu Qingxi a real fifty sticks, and beat him crying dad and calling his mother, blood splashed, and the onlookers all changed color. After beating fifty sticks, Wu Qingxi collapsed on the bench and couldn't stand up at all.

Ying Yiyuan sneered and stabbed the word "theft" with ink on Wu Qingxi's right arm, leaving him a lifelong insult, as long as anyone sees these two words, they will know the bad deeds of this person.

Under the hint of Ying Yiyuan Sun and the two of them, the chief and the elder also thought that Wu Qingxi had lost face in the village and could no longer tolerate it, and the three of them were limited to move out of the village within five days, otherwise they would not be spared.

Seeing that Wu Qingxi had already learned enough, and was about to move away, I am afraid that they will not be able to see each other again in the future, and they stated that his Wu family is not rich, and they don't want him to lose money, so the grievances between the two parties are over, and they will have nothing to do with each other in the future.

After the matter was dealt with, the Xie family left with Ying Yiyuan and Sun He, and the onlookers saw that there was nothing to see, and they gradually dispersed, leaving only Wu Qingxi in the courtyard and crying out in pain.

Ying Yiyuan Sun and the two of them did a good job, and the Xie family naturally asked to go back home for tea and thank you.

Xie Wang's eyebrows and smiles while boiling water in the kitchen, and Hui Niang hugged Sheng Lin'er with a smile on her face.

"Look at him Wu Qingxi this time, he is still good, stepping on the watermelon peel and grabbing a handful of mud in his hands - he slipped away on weekdays, secretly learned to dig Shouwu in our family, and secretly picked up our vegetable shed, this time he will be retributed! Don't lose him! ”

Xie Wangshi said with relief, she stuffed a firewood into the stove, listening to the crackling sound of dry wood in the stove, and felt as if she was setting off firecrackers.

"That's it, he's always been a money string head - he drills holes when he sees them, this time it's planted, let's see who dares to do this sneaky thing in the future!" Hui Niang also said that because of the quarrel in the courtyard of the Wu family for a long time, they didn't even eat, everyone was hungry, and Xiao Sheng Lin'er in her arms was also hungry and cried.

When Xie Wang heard this, he hurriedly drove her back to the house to breastfeed, "It's okay for us adults, he is a little older, he has been hungry for so long, where can he bear it?" You go and feed him two mouthfuls first, the milk is not enough, I hurry up to cook, steam an egg custard for him, just out of the pot, drop a drop of sesame oil, and keep the fragrance he eats! ”

Xie Huiniang also felt sorry for the child who was hungry for a long time, and hurriedly instructed Li Ying and Li Lian to help Xie Wang's family, and went back to the house to breastfeed.

Li Ying was okay, she was peeling and cutting cabbage again, only Li Lian stepped on the threshold of the kitchen with one foot, stretched her head and squinted her eyes to look into the hall.

"Grandma, whose little official and young lady are they? What are you doing here? Li Lian stretched out her head and looked at it for a long time, and saw Xie Xuan leading Liu Sinian and Liu Siyun to the west ear room, so she turned around and asked Xie Wang: "I think they are familiar with Xuanxuan?" It's also a joke! ”

Xie Wang smiled and said, "I heard your grandfather say that it was the granddaughter of Dr. Liu of Baicaotang, who came back from the capital to visit relatives. The brothers and sisters of the Liu family fell in love with your sister Xuan, and when they heard that this happened to our family, they were indignant and rushed to help our family! I see, it's just a teenager's heart, I like to watch a lively scene, Dr. Liu has a great kindness to our family, I have to treat them well! ”

Li Ying hurriedly said, "Grandma, then we don't have to cook for them?" ”

Xie Wang said: "On the way back, Xuanxuan said that they invited the two soap Li and the Liu family brothers and sisters to have dinner in the restaurant, so we don't have to worry about their meals!" Just a kettle of tea! As he spoke, he remembered for a while, "Alas, look at my brain, Xuanxuan said that they packed some leftovers and fruits in the restaurant and came back, so that we could eat them hot." Ying'er, the leftovers are under the lid of the pot, you go and bring me hot food, let's also taste the taste of the food in the big restaurant! ”

Li Lian listened, sneered and said: "She took a lot of silver in that big restaurant to entertain guests, and she ate meat and fruits, but she brought the leftovers for us to eat, what a good style!" As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xie's and continued, "Where is there a filial piety?" If she really has a heart, she should call us all to eat in that restaurant! ”

Xie Wang's only complained that Xie Xuan didn't bring her delicious food, so he smiled and persuaded her: "She didn't eat it herself!" It turned out that your grandfather invited both of you to eat for the sake of our vegetable shed. Listen to your grandfather, thanks to Xuanxuan, the Liu brothers and sisters have helped us a lot! ”

When Li Lian saw Xie Wang's family speaking for Xie Xuan, she was impatient in her heart, and her face was not happy, so she only said with a tense face: "What does she know at a young age?" It's just that people look at her small and tease her! ”

Li Ying knew that Li Lian had always been jealous of Xie Xuan, and listened to her voice like she was provoking in front of her grandmother, so she said to her: "Lian'er, you are a sister anyway, don't always find fault with Xuanxuan." Although Xuanxuan is young, she is more sensible than you! ”

When Li Lian heard this, how could she not be angry? Stamped his feet, his thin eyebrows were upside down, and he shouted with hatred:

"You're all eccentric! I gave her good clothes, bought her face fat, toothbrushes, and gave her change to spend on weekdays, how could I have these things, look at the clothes and shoes I wear, they are all things that others don't want to give me! Just say two words about her, you just say that I am not sensible, and she is sensible! Just she's obedient! We are all elm lumps, stupid and stupid, deserving of no one to hurt and no one to love! ”

After that, he ran to the east ear room to find Hui Niang in anger and anger.

Xie Wang and Li Ying were dumbfounded, and they didn't know for a moment that Li Ying was thinking like this in their hearts.

Xie Wang sighed and said: "Alas, this time is chaotic and busy, so many things have happened, Xu has not had time to tear the cloth for your clothes, Ming'er, Ming'er, let's go to the county seat to tear the cloth......

Before Li Ying finished listening, her face was already flushed, and she hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't listen to Lian'er's nonsense!" We have lived in my grandmother's house for so many days, we are full and clothed every day, and we don't have to do work, we live a good life that we didn't dare to think of before, where do we dare to open our mouths to ask for clothes? Lian'er, she's still young and doesn't know ......"

However, thinking that Xie Xuan was one year younger than Li Lian, but she was more sensible and capable than her, she said for a while: "Grandma, Lian'er has always been a strong person who loves to pinch the tip, we all let her when we are at home, who knew that she would become such a character?" When she is in a hurry, she likes to talk nonsense, grandma, don't take it to heart! ”

Where would Wang Xie hold a grudge against his granddaughter, the sigh just now was also a sincere self-blame for forgetting the previous promise, which made his granddaughter empty happy.

Seeing that Li Ying was still afraid that she would be worried, she persuaded her to say such a lot of words, so she smiled and said: "You have the same temperament as your mother, blindly thinking about others!" When I was a child, I didn't dare to say anything to your aunt, for fear that she would accidentally say it with her big mouth, so I could only talk to your mother, and your mother also loved to persuade me like this, alas, time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, you have grown so big......"

Seeing that the iron kettle on the stove was steaming, he washed the set of fine porcelain blue and white tea sets he had just bought, ordered eight bowls of thick hazelnut chestnut and red date tea, and served it to the hall in person.

When I went in, I saw two soap lis sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, Xie Qingshan facing each other, Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an playing horizontally.

Xie Qingshan was holding two ingots and a few taels of broken silver and handed them to Ying Yiyuansun and the two soaps, and said with a smile: "This time, thanks to the two of them, otherwise Wu Qingxi would not have been slippery, and he would have really let him rely on it!" This little bit of shoes and socks is not a lot of money, so I will invite the two of you to drink tea, and ask the two of you to take care of you in the future! ”

Xie Pingtian also hurriedly smiled: "Yes, if it weren't for the two of you, I don't know how long today's matter will be deadlocked!" ”

Only Xie Ping'an looked at the pile of silver that was enough for more than a dozen taels, and thought that his vegetable shed had lost nearly two hundred taels, and gave these two soaps a dozen taels, and the money at home did not know if it was enough to give the bride price to Second Sister Zhao, and he was worried. However, he also knew that this was not the time to talk about it, so he just kept silent.

Ying Yiyuan Sun and the two of them took it quietly, pinched it in their hands, and saw that the silver was in good condition, each person had seven taels, which was about the same as their year's work and food silver, and two taels more than the normal "shoes and socks money" and "car and donkey money". So he stuffed the silver into his purse around his waist, and the smile on his face became a little bigger.

Sun He said modestly: "Today, our brothers didn't do anything, they just scared and scared Wu Qingxi, and they were really embarrassed to accept the old man's silver!" That being said, he had no intention of returning it.

should be more direct with one yuan: "Hey! What do we mean from the thief? As long as we say that he is a thief, who dares to say that we can't be false? Take a stick and beat him with a hundred sticks, knock him out, and don't let us talk? I told him to stumble in front of our brothers for a long time......"

Xie Qingshan smiled on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried about these officials in his heart: he thought of what would happen if he was poor and accidentally offended them......

Fortunately, he has a little money in his hand now, and these people still give him a little thin noodles for the sake of silver, if he was his former self, where could he sit here face to face and drink tea?

For a while, Xie Qingshan really felt for the first time that his family was really different from the past.
