"Dalong, did you just come back from the field?" Zhou Yuxiang, the owner of the Xiaomiao Village warehouse, went out with his wife and children, and as soon as he turned around and locked the warehouse, he met Miao Dalong, who came from the west with a hoe.

"Just back, just back." Miao Dalong saw the lock on the door of the warehouse at a glance, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou is really willing, this time, he won't even do business?" ”

"Look at you, deliberately laughing at me? I'm not a boss, but I'm just a little bit of a business. The lieutenant was summoned, and the whole village struck the gong, where can I not go? It's not that I said, others shouted, I really can't lose my business. But we have a long word, I don't say a word, I must go. Zhou Yuxiang smiled and nodded at Miao Dalong: "What's the matter, you're also preparing to go over, right?" Why don't we go together? ”

Miao Dalong laughed 'haha': "Left and right, let's just go together." As he spoke, his feet did not stop, and he scratched his hair with his big hand: "Yuxiang, your three sons are really handsome and beautiful, which is really eye-catching." ”

In a word, Zhou Yuxiang's three sons lowered their heads shyly.

"Boom!" Zhou Yuxiang also took a step: "What's the use of looking good, it's all useless things, and the girls are too childish." And voila! You praise it, and you are ashamed to be like this! ”

"The baby is small, what are you anxious about" Miao Dalong glanced forward, and the black pressed a crowd of people, a little puzzled: "I have summoned so many people, I heard that there are still a few seniors, what is it for?" ”

"Where do I know? It seems to be a very important thing. We'll find out when we go. ”

"Yes, you'll know when you go." Miao Dalong nodded and walked with his head down.

The meeting place is in the wheat field in the northwest of the village, which is an open field, where wheat is harvested and dried, and it is a place for children's entertainment during the slack time. Now there are a lot of people gathered here, and the black pressure is gathering in small piles to gossip, guessing what is the matter with the chief's convening this time? Could it be that the policy of the imperial court has changed again? Is it going to be more taxed? Oh my God, the people in the village face the loess all day long, and they have to work hard for a year to get so much money, and they don't have enough food and clothing to make a living. If taxes rise again, how can you live?

Zhou Yuxiang's wife and children went to find their own circle of relationships to talk. Miao Dalong and Zhou Yuxiang squeezed into the crowd, and saw a high stool in the center of the pile, on which a person sat on it, and both of them respectfully: "Master Wu." ”

Miao Sanwu is a great figure in Xiaomiao Village, his family has three ponds and three acres of fish ponds, as well as ten acres of fertile land. Every year, the fish pond alone cannot be eaten and used, and the field has long been rented out for others to plant. He only has one son, so in Xiaomiao Village, Miao Sanwu is one of the richest people. And he is old, this year's birthday is fifty-five, and everyone in the village who is younger than him likes to call 'Wu Ye'.

Miao Dalong and Zhou Yuxiang quietly looked at each other, and secretly guessed in their hearts that it was time to harvest the fish, but Wu Ye was here, what was going on today?

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs in the middle of the threshing field, and there was no idea whether a table had been set up or a table, and the chief was standing on it, half a body taller than a man. Standing in the wheat field, you can see it at a glance no matter how far away you are.

"Folks, be quiet for a while." Li Chang Miao Tianmin stood on the stage, pressed his hands down lightly, and said, "I summoned everyone today, because something happened in the village recently. It's not a big deal, but it can also affect the reputation of our village. That's why I'm calling you today. ”

"It's not about paying taxes." Miao Dalong breathed a sigh of relief

"It seems to be important, too. Let's hear about it. Zhou Yuxiang glanced at Wu Ye, and he was looking intently at the chief on the stage.

"Cut, I'm wondering what's the matter, as long as it's not about raising taxes, it doesn't matter to us. Yinhua, divide me with your melon seeds. In another corner, Ding Juhua absentmindedly knocked on melon seeds

Miao Yinhua on the side glared at her: "Bring some melon seeds, I will let you eat them." ”

Lu Aifen was silent, as if she had guessed what the people on the stage were going to say, and looked at Ding Juhua with a joke look.

Ding Juhua herself didn't realize it, she reached into Miao Yinhua's hand and grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "Eat a few of your melon seeds, it will make you feel distressed." I don't know what the chief is going to say, in short, it has nothing to do with me, rather than being idle and bored here, eating melon seeds can also relieve boredom. You're really, why don't you bring more? ”

Ding Juhua spoke unrestrainedly and loudly, which immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of the people around her. After all, most of the people in the village have a lot of respect for Miao Tianmin, and today they also invited the elders of the village, and the relatives and juniors of those elders in the village should account for most of them.

Miao Tianmin paused, waited for the whispered discussion below to pause, and continued: "Although our Xiaomiao Village is not rich, its reputation has always been clean and good. Recently, there was an incident in the village, and the rumors became more and more powerful. Although this is a family matter, but as the mayor, I have to stand up at this time, not for other reasons, I have to take care of the reputation of our village first, and the reputation of the female dolls in the village who have not come out of the pavilion, and also, whether this matter is true or false after all, I also have to take care of the reputation of the daughter of Yue Lao's second family. After all, the hardships of a few dolls' fatherless and motherless lives, if this matter wronged them, how could Yue Gui and his daughter-in-law rest in the spirit of heaven? ”

"That's what happened." Miao Dalong nodded to each other, this matter seems to be quite crazy in the village recently, but they really don't know much about what it is. A big man, who pays attention to the gossip that only those girls love to pull?

"That's what happened!!" As soon as Miao Tianmin said this, those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law suddenly boiled. In the past few days, the words have been passed around, and they are getting more and more true, but the daughter of the Yue family is stunned and does not go out. Miao Sheng's son didn't come back from out of town, and it was not interesting for them to talk and pull, but now that the captain has come forward, it seems that things are going to progress.

"Hmph, that's what happened?" Ding Juhua pulled the corners of her mouth disdainfully, threw a melon seed into her mouth, and spit out the skin of the melon seed with a 'bah': "It seems that the elder can't accommodate them in his eyes." Hmph, I want to see, how can a wild child without a father and a mother keep that house? Do it right with me? How does it end up? Didn't the way to catch wild ducks fall into someone else's hands? I might as well have been cheaper. ”

Miao Yinhua echoed on the side: "A group of little cheap hooves, drive out of our village early, be quiet early!" It will not affect the reputation of our village's daughters, and it will not be easy to marry in the future! ”

Ding Juhua smiled proudly: "In the end, the house still has to be divided!" Can it still fall into my hands? Hum!! ”

At this time, the two talked and attracted the attention of several daughters-in-law around.

A daughter-in-law whispered, "Who is this man?" ”

The other said: "This is the third aunt of the little hoof, the third aunt of the dear one!" Tut-tut, look at the third aunt, it's no wonder that there is such a niece. ”

The crowd here is very dense, and the two daughters-in-law are very close to Ding Juhua, although they lowered their voices, Ding Juhua still heard it clearly, and suddenly turned white, closed her mouth hatefully, and didn't say anything again.

Lu Aifen looked at Ding Juhua's white face, and a chuckle quickly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Miao Tianmin knew that as soon as his words came out, there would be a lot of discussion below. He patiently waited for the following to gradually become quiet, and said: "Fellow villagers, this matter has risen to a major event that can affect our entire village, and I believe that the villagers have been troubled for several days. With me here today, and a few older generations, whether the matter is true or not, let's prove it to a few dolls! ”

It was quiet below, and they all looked at Miao Tianmin, waiting for him to give an ultimatum to the daughter of the Yue family and drive him out of Xiaomiao Village.

Who knows, Miao Tianmin has a straight look, and said in a loud voice: "Folks, after I and several elders have verified, the relationship between the daughter of the Yue family and the three sons of the Miao Sheng family is innocent, and the crazy words spread in the village are all false. Stop this matter, don't talk about it any more, and save ruining the reputation of our village for no reason. ”

As soon as these words came out, some people immediately objected: "There is no evidence, who knows if what you say is true or false?" The five sisters are all going to be driven out of Xiaomiao Village, and you can't protect them just because you pity them! ”

"So, what evidence do you have to prove that my eldest sister had an affair with the eldest brother of the Miao family?" Cotton peach and cherry came out from behind Miao Tianmin, looking at the mother-in-law who was talking.

The woman choked and shrunk her neck. seemed to feel a bit of a loss of face like this, and puffed up his chest again: "There is no wind and no waves, their little deeds are all spread like this, what people say, which day and night, in which place, and even how to do things are clearly said, can there be fake?" ”

"So, you've seen it with your own eyes?" Mian Tao stared at the woman tightly, looking at her awe-inspiringly.

Mian Tao stood on the stage, half a body taller than her mother-in-law, coupled with her mother-in-law's weak heart, she unconsciously took a half step back, stalked her neck, and said stiffly: "I didn't see it, what's the matter?!" ”

"Excuse me" Mian Tao glared at the woman, straightened up, faced the villagers, and raised her voice: "Fellow villagers, have any of you ever seen my sister and Brother Chengye alone together?" ”

You look at me in the audience, I look at you, but it is quiet.

"No one sees? That is, out of nothing? Cotton peach swept coldly through the crowd.

Everyone in the audience looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't believe it for a while, there was not even a witness to such a thing in the village? No one saw it, so how did this come about? Made-up? But it's so similar, it's true.

Mian Tao and the other crowd quieted down, changed their tone again, and said: "My sister-in-law, although she has no father or mother, and lacks food and clothing, she can also keep her conscience, eat with one hand, abide by women's morals, and behave in a regular manner. The pickled stories in the village are all false. After a pause, he continued: "However, when our family ran out of food and had no food or drink, my sister-in-law did come to my house to send help. ”

'Boom'!! It was like a drop of water thrown into a pan of oil, and the quiet crowd was in an uproar.
