Chapter 20 I see, twenty
Qin Tai's eyes lit up, by the way, it was the child's room. Ma Guilan is often with the child, and she waits for the child to fall asleep at night before leaving, so the most likely place besides Ma Guilan's own room is the child's room. The child is inconspicuous, and no one would have thought that Ma Guilan would hide such important evidence in the room where the child lives. The children of the Ma family lived in the room where Ma Guilan's parents lived, and this room should be familiar to Ma Guilan, so Ma Guilan already knew that it was a good place to hide things.
After Qin Tai and Ah Si separated, they took Qiu Xiaoqiu to Lao Ma's house again. This time, Qin Tai put all his hopes in the room where the children of the old Ma family lived, Qiu Xiaoqiu guarded the door from outsiders, and Qin Tai went in alone to find evidence. This room is much larger than the room Ma Guilan lived in when she died, no wonder Ma Yuelan was reluctant to stay, it turned out that this kind of treatment really made it impossible for Ma Yuelan to continue to stay in Lao Ma's house. Although this room is a bit old, it is also a larger and better room of Lao Ma's family. A child of this age should have lived with his parents. However, because the countrymen believe in having more children and more blessings, Ma Kui and his wife hope that Ma Lin and his wife will have more children, so that the children will live a little more than a year old. Usually, after Ma Kui's wife or Ma Lin's wife coaxed the child, everyone went back to the room to continue sleeping. After Ma Guilan came back, Ma Guilan took the initiative to take on this task, of course Ma Kui and Ma Lin would not object, Ma Guilan acted as the child's nanny.
The children moved away with the adults, at least they won't be back to sleep here for a few days. The bed on which the child sleeps is an antique of the old Ma family, and it is said that Ma Kui, Ma Guilan, and Ma Yuelan were all born on this bed in this room. Ma Guilan's parents also passed away in this room and bed. Although the workmanship is not very good, it is very strong and durable.
Qin Tai immediately found the place where the evidence Ma Guilan said was stored. It turns out that the "under the bed" mentioned by Ma Guilan is not under the real bed, but refers to the bed board down. This ancient large bed is not only strong but also very heavy, and it is impossible to lift it alone. Therefore, Qin Tai ruled out the possibility that the evidence was under or inside the big bed for the first time. Ma Guilan couldn't lift the big bed alone, so she wouldn't put the evidence under the big bed. There are rats under the bed, Qin Tai saw one just now, so there will be no evidence under the bed, otherwise the evidence would have been eaten or dragged out by the rats a long time ago. The only possibility is that there may be a gap under the slats on the queen bed, which is a good place to store or store things. As long as it's not too big, it's safe to hide here.
Qin Tai gently lifted the bed board alone and found that there was nothing inside. Qin Tai not only did not feel disappointed, but also had an inexplicable excitement. Because there are two different palm prints between the gaps in the bed board, one is smaller and the other is larger, it is obviously not a person's palm print. The smaller one should be Ma Guilan's, because the lighter one means that it has been a long time. Although the larger palm print is larger, it is not like a man's palm print, and it is clear that it should have been accidentally imprinted not long ago. It seems that the contents have been taken, no wonder there is nothing. Since it is not a man's palm print, there are only two women in Lao Ma's family, Ma Kui's wife and Ma Lin's wife. Ma Kui's wife appeared during the day, not only was she very aggrieved but also very dissatisfied with Ma Guilan, she shouldn't have pretended. Marin's wife not only did not appear but never showed up, could it be that this palm print belongs to Marin's wife?
Qin Tai decided to meet this Marin wife, as soon as he saw this person, Qin Tai could determine whether she was the owner of this palm print. Qin Tai took Qiu Xiaoqiu to the temporary foothold of Ma Kui's family, and Ma Kui and his wife were teaching their son and daughter-in-law Ma Lin and his wife. It turned out that Ma Lin and his wife said that they wanted to go back to live, and decided to have an aunt Ma Yuelan to prepare for the future. Ma Kui and his wife were first worried about the haunting of their home, and second, they were unwilling to bear Ma Guilan's funeral, so they were reluctant to go back. Ma Lin's wife rarely contradicted her mother-in-law, saying that she would go back to handle her aunt's funeral, and Ma Kui's wife was very angry and taught her daughter-in-law a lesson.
After Qin Tai saw Ma Lin's wife for the first time, he knew that this person was the owner of the palm print of the bed board. Qin Tai knew even more why Ma Lin's wife wanted to go back, the first was to handle Ma Guilan's funeral, and the second was for the evidence. Qin Tai guessed that there was not only evidence when the bed board came down, but also that there should be a sum of money left, which was the money left by Ma Guilan to the child. It was because of this money that Marin's wife had to rush back, and she was worried that the money would be found out and couldn't be explained.
The appearance of Qin Tai and Qiu Xiaoqiu surprised everyone, Ma Kui and his wife hurriedly invited Qin Tai and his cronies to sit down, and Ma Lin's wife also hurriedly went to prepare tea for the two guests. Qin Tai stopped Marin's wife and said that he wanted to say a few words to Marin's wife in private. Ma Kui and his wife were a little reluctant, but Qin Tai said that this matter was related to Ma Yuelan, the deceased of the old Ma family, and no one was embarrassed to stop it. Ma Lin's wife was taken back to Lao Ma's house by Qin Tai and Qiu Xiaoqiu, and Ma Lin was worried that something would happen to his wife, so he kept following his wife. Qin Tai did not stop it immediately, but let Qiu Xiaoqiu control the situation and did not let Ma Lin disturb the conversation between him and Ma Lin's wife.
After Qin Tai took Ma Lin's wife to Lao Ma's house, he didn't go to Ma Guilan's room immediately, but said to Ma Lin's wife: "Take it out." I want something you take from under the bed. The money she left to your son, and I won't ask for it. I'll take care of the rest. ”
Marin's wife's face changed, and she quickly explained, "What? What is it? I do not know. Money? I don't have any money. My mother-in-law is in charge of all the money in the family, and I only have some private money of my own. Bed slats? I haven't touched the baby's bed board and I don't know what's inside. ”
Qin Tai smiled and said, "Still say you don't know?" I didn't say it was the baby's bed board. How do you know where the money is hidden? Don't lie to me, if you don't tell the truth, I'll tell your mother-in-law and your village chief about it. ”
Marin's wife said firmly, "No." I can swear. I have never taken money from my aunt Ma Yuelan. If I take Aunt Ma Yuelan's money, I won't die a good death. Her words were so firm that Marin, who was listening to them, also felt that his wife had been wronged.
Qin Tai looked at Ma Lin on the side, and said, "Yes, you didn't take your aunt Ma Yuelan's money. But I want you to hand over what the deceased Ma Guilan left behind. Remember, I'm not talking about Ma Yuelan, but Ma Guilan. You didn't take Ma Yuelan's things, but you took what Ma Guilan hid under the baby's bed. Do you want me to go on? Or do you know where you come from? ”
Qin Tai has a little understanding of the identity and origin of Ma Lin's wife, which was provided by Erya to Zhanxiao. It turned out that Erya accidentally learned the origin of Marin's wife, but because Erya didn't like to be troublesome, the people in the village didn't know the origin of Marin's wife. Marin's wife turned out to be a peasant girl, and later sold herself to a large family as a maid, and she and the young lady were like sisters. Three years ago, the young lady got along with a scholar and decided to elope, but she was worried that Marin's wife would say it, so she sent a sum of money to Marin's wife. Marin's wife used the money to redeem herself, and then married Marin as his wife. No one knew that Marin's wife had been a maid, and she was a maid who could read and write.
Seeing that Qin Tai knew his background information so well, Ma Lin's wife had no choice but to tell everything she knew. It turned out that this Marin's wife was sold to a large family as a maid when she was seven years old, and was later assigned to a young lady as a personal maid. At that time, the personal maid was to marry with the young lady, and in the future, it would be the aunt's roommate or the little maid who was rewarded to the husband's family as a wife. Unexpectedly, Miss got along with a scholar in private and was about to elope, and Marin's wife couldn't go with Miss. In order to stabilize the maid and give the maid a way out, the young lady gave the maid a sum of money. The maid used the money to buy back her freedom and returned to her home to become a bride. After coming to Lao Ma's house, the maid found that her mother-in-law was very domineering, and her husband was also a wreck, so the maid had to be self-reliant. Later, the maid gave birth to a son to the old Ma family, and the maid had a status. Half a year ago, my aunt Ma Yuelan came back, and the maid found that this aunt seemed to be a little different, and she always felt that this aunt knew the rules of a big family better than herself. While paying attention to her aunt Ma Yuelan's behavior, the maid secretly inquired about her aunt Ma Yuelan's personality, and everyone said that Ma Yuelan was a bad woman. The maid accidentally discovered that her aunt Ma Yuelan not only knew how to needle and thread, but also knew how to take care of children in some large families. The maid intentionally or unintentionally asked Ma Yuelan to do something, and finally determined that Ma Yuelan was not an ordinary person. The maid suspected that Ma Yuelan had been working as a nanny in a big family all these years, otherwise it would be impossible to know the behavior of a big family so well. But soon after, the maid discovered some secrets and determined that this Ma Yuelan was not Ma Yuelan. Because the kung fu that this woman practiced to serve people is a child's skill, she will not succeed without a few years of hard work, and she will only have this ability if she has cultivated it since childhood. This woman will definitely not be Ma Yuelan, because Ma Yuelan is just a village girl.
