Chapter 316: The Notice
Later, according to his own experience, he also created a treatise on agricultural production technology, which rose step by step, and was valued by the Ma family.
In his heart, the longing for family affection has finally been realized through his own struggle and hard work.
Lu Caiqing's rice has also received a bumper harvest, and the most gratifying thing should be the seven acres of peach forest.
The ripe peaches are slightly spherical, and the surface is wrapped in a layer of short fluff, which is white in green and red in white.
The skin of the peach is very thin, the flesh is juicy, and the entrance is smooth and does not leave residue.
The freshly ripe peaches are hard and sweet, and the juice from the ripe peaches is sweet and delicious, and its taste can be compared with the queen mother's peaches.
Lu Caiqing's peach forest, since the time of meditation, has hired a village Zhang Kang to take care of it.
On this day, Zhang Kang ran to Lu Caiqing's house in a hurry and said, "Caiqing! Ziyu! It's all my fault! I was careless, the orchard was destroyed, you go and see! ”
When Lu Caiqing heard this, he was stunned, how could this be, the villagers of Chenjia Village, since the harvest began, have been very respectful to themselves, how could they destroy their orchards?
Follow him to the orchard, and when he walked in, he saw that more than a dozen fruit trees in the north, the peaches on them had been knocked to the ground, and there were traces of human trampling, and even the branches and leaves of the fruit trees were damaged with sharp weapons.
Song Ziyu shouted anxiously: "Which bastard is here to destroy, there is a kind of spoiling me!" ”
Lu Caiqing stretched out his hand to stop him and persuaded, "Brother Song! Don't shout, it's not close to the village here, and no one hears the shouting, since you are here to destroy, how can you stay here and wait to be scolded? ”
Then she turned back and looked closely, and saw that the fence around the side had been deliberately broken and she had entered directly from here.
Zhang Kang hurriedly stomped his feet and said, "Cai Qing!" It's me who is not good, I should have guarded it here, but I left for a while, in the morning my daughter-in-law came to me and said that my son was sick and wanted to see me, so I went back to take a look and came back, I was afraid that something would let go of the rhubarb and look at the orchard, after I came back, I also made a special inspection, only to find that it became like this, even the rhubarb was strangled alive, sorry, sorry! I'll compensate you for the damage! ”
Lu Caiqing heard this, and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang! Hold your horses! How can you compensate for these losses, I didn't think it through, I should find more people to share with you, so be it! Tomorrow I'm looking for someone to look after you, it's not easy to see such a large orchard, so you can discuss it yourself, so you can have time to take care of your family. ”
Zhang Kang nodded again and again to express his gratitude, and asked ashamedly: "Cai Qing is really embarrassed!" So what do you think we are going to do with this damaged thing? ”
"I just watched it and it's okay! There is no destruction of the roots of the fruit tree, only the destruction of the branches above, and it will not have much impact in the coming year. But you can't just forget it, the thief actually took advantage of Brother Zhang's absence, so obviously he came to commit the murder after watching you leave, this is for me, if I don't make a sound, he still thinks I'm a bully. is so cruel that he gives the obedient rhubarb to ......! The more Lu Caiqing thought about it, the more angry he became.
Zhang Kang continued to ask, "Then what should we do?" ”
Lu Caiqing looked at the fence and said, "Fix this place first, and then lock the door at night, so that it is convenient for you to take care of it." As for the undamaged peaches, I picked them up in a basket first, and I pulled them home to deal with them. ”
Lu Caiqing went home and directly hired another eldest son of the Zhao family in the village, a bachelor named Zhao Qiang, to take care of the orchard with Zhang Kang.
I discussed with my family for a long time in the evening, and finally discussed, since this thief could know that Zhang Kang was not in the orchard to commit murder, he must not be far from here, and Lu Caiqing still adopted the principle of salute first and then soldier.
Discuss with the village chief's uncle, hang a sign at the head of the village, explain the murderer who destroyed the peach tree, and go to the Song family to apologize and compensate for the loss.
As soon as this news came out, the people of the entire Chenjia Village were talking about it, this year's bumper harvest, the silver earned by the family was double that of each year, and they were grateful to Lu Caiqing for his selflessness and the careful guidance of Master Ma.
But these people don't know how to be grateful to Dade, and they wantonly destroy other people's orchards, isn't this purely jealous of others!
Aunt Zhao, who was fast-talking, guessed: "Some people are not right-hearted, and they must have done it by someone who had a holiday with the Song family!" It's really ruthless, and he doesn't even let go of the beasts! ”
Li Qingyuan's wife was also in the crowd, and when she heard this, she was unconvinced and said, "Eh...... What you say has to be substantiated, I have benefited from Master Ma this year, and I have also earned money, we are not people who can't open the pot now, and besides, it's not just our family that doesn't deal with the Song family, why do you want to chew the root of your tongue? ”
The women with poisonous tongues in the village complained about Caiqing's family, and said: "Some people are thieves with weak hearts!" I didn't name it, I didn't have a surname, so I was anxious to put it on myself. Ever heard of picking up money, but haven't heard of picking up scolding? ”
"The old woman of the Zhao family! I know your eldest son is picking green trees in the orchard, but you can't just convict others just because you want to befriend your master! Li stretched out his hand and pointed at the Zhao family's mother-in-law and said fiercely.
"My son showed Caiqing what happened to the orchard, she paid for us to contribute, what is there to knot, we know how to be grateful, you listen to what you say, it is thanks to the blessing of Master Ma, you let the villagers of our Chenjia Village talk about it, there is no planting technology of our Caiqing, just the sweet potato seedlings of the government, do you know how to plant or do I know how to plant? Don't you still rely on picking green? Aunt Zhao said to the whole village, young and old.
Everyone nodded yes, Li listened, although she felt that she was right, but her unyielding temperament made her continue to insist: "I didn't say that Cai Qing is bad, I mean that you all follow Cai Qing's family one by one and speak for her, although I have had a holiday with her family, but I definitely didn't do anything that hurt others and myself." ”
"Mrs. Li! Isn't that it! And your eyes are red, isn't your son also making a lot of money with Caiqing, it's your son himself who is not angry, and now the man in our family is making money! Who is to blame for this? What we said is just speculation, and you picked up the scolding yourself. A woman in the crowd who was older than Lee's grade said.
"Who picks up the scolding? It's not that you are pointing the finger at our family one by one, I know that she Lu Caiqing has bought you, the men of your family are either working for his glass factory, or working for him for a long time, what do I look like, what do they like to do? Be careful that they all drank ecstasy soup from that little girl, and now they are all showing off to me, right? Sooner or later, there will be a time when you regret it? ”
Li Shiqi's mouth couldn't say anything about them, so he counted them together.
Aunt Zhao listened and retorted: "Regret? I'm afraid you regret it! Your second child doesn't do his job, he lost his gambling money, but you sold your own granddaughter with a wolf heart, you deserve your second child to be lazy and can't do anything? See how they can live without the two of you bones and sticks? ”
When Li heard this, he immediately turned his face and said, "Old woman Zhao! Didn't your son just go to his house yesterday to be a dog's leg, as long as your son can, you will talk to her today, this sycophant is too fast, you still curse me to death! You see that I don't tear your mouth and let you curse me! ”
After speaking, he rushed to Aunt Zhao, although Aunt Zhao was older than her, but she worked in the field all the year round, and her body was tough, so she was afraid of her, so she rolled up her sleeves and greeted her.
The two were about the same height, and when they came up, they grabbed their collars and scuffled together.
Li's second daughter-in-law has been watching from the side, scolding her never worried about her mother-in-law, because the village knows that her mother-in-law is messing around, and she is quite unreasonable, and no one wants to quarrel with her.
Thinking of this, the second daughter-in-law of the Li family rolled up her sleeves and shouted: "Old woman Zhao! Stop it! You dare to hit my mother-in-law? "After that, I have to help when I go forward.
The onlookers and Mrs. Zhao had a good look, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were one of her, so Mrs. Zhao would suffer, so she didn't look at it, and stopped the second daughter-in-law of the Li family when she went up.
Lu Caiqing stayed at home and did not catch up with this lively scene, it is said that later, someone still asked the village chief to come forward to calm the turmoil, and later Li Qingyuan and his wife went home to see their mother-in-law, and heard that the Zhao family's aunt had a strong hand and pulled off a lot of Li's hair alive!
The three days passed immediately, and there was no movement at all at Lu Caiqing's house, since he was given the opportunity to repent, then he was not a soft persimmon to be handled by others.
On the fourth day, Lu Caiqing put on a carriage and drove the carriage into the city by the iron pillar to the government office.
Soon the government came to the government, still surveying the terrain, looking at the damage, and looking at the body of rhubarb, and finally visiting and probing.
In fact, in the countryside, I can't see the officials of the government several times a year, and they are high in people's hearts, as long as they honestly keep their duties, they will not attract the interrogation of the officials, but they have seen it several times in a year, and every time they enter the village, they feel a sense of panic.
Although unexpected people are caught every time, it breaks the fact that Chenjiacun has not committed adultery in the past few decades.
After the official went door-to-door to investigate, he got an important suspect, that is, Lu Liangsheng's son Lu Qiang!
Getting this news, the village chief was still a little relieved, this time the good luck was not done by the people of Chenjia Village, and Aunt Zhao also knew that she had wronged the Li family, so the village chief's daughter-in-law personally took her to the Li family to apologize.
Lu Qiang was taken away by the yamen, and heard that the yamen confessed all the crimes after a few rounds of torture.
