Chapter 122: Falsely accused of stealing cattle
After eating, Xiangling began to hurry up to make bean paste again, but fortunately, in the afternoon, Jiang also joined the ranks of making sauce, the speed was accelerated a lot, and about 200 catties of sauce were made, and one day tomorrow, the order of Qiwu Restaurant could be completed.
Just as the altar was moved to the corner, a group of people rushed into Chu's house angrily, this group of people Xiangling was familiar, they were all from the village.
It's the Wu family. The eldest Wu Mu, the second Wu Lin, the third Wu Sen, and Wu Mu's daughter-in-law with two sons, Wu Lin's daughter-in-law with three sons, Wu Sen's daughter-in-law with one son, good guys, twelve or thirteen people, blocked the courtyard of Xiangling's house tightly.
Xiangling does not have much intersection with these three families, and the only one who has a lot of intersection is Wu Sen's daughter-in-law, that is, Wu Sanlazi's daughter-in-law Wu.
The reason why Wu Sen is called Wu Sanlazy is because he is lazy to eat, and the work inside and outside the house is all Wu's business, even so, Wu Sanlazy often drinks and plays drunk, beating his daughter-in-law and daughter, which is not a thing.
After the Xiangling family contracted the laundry work in the military camp, the He family and the Jiang family saw that Wu San's lazy daughter-in-law was pitiful, so they counted her share, because this incident also caused Xing Zhaodi's dissatisfaction.
Different from Wu San's lazy family, Wu Boss and Wu Lao Er are stubble, and their families are well-off, with more than ten acres of land, donkeys and cattle, and belong to the upper class households of Chujia Village.
Boss Wu commanded several sons and nephews and said, "Search for me!! ”
Such twelve or thirteen people rushed up, Xiangling wanted weapons or no weapons, not to mention that there were Su Xiaoman and Jiang behind him, what if these dozen or so people were ruthless and caused Su Xiaoman to lose his reputation?
Liu Er saw that these people were very scary, and wanted to stop in front of everyone, but Xiangling took several family members under the eaves, as long as they didn't enter the house to rob, Xiangling let them search in the garden and cellar.
Xiangling is not too afraid, although the Wu family is horizontal, but it is usually reasonable, since she is reasonable, she is not afraid, the sky is blue, the Wu family can't rob with an open fire.
There were villagers outside the courtyard who came to see the excitement, including Qin Keer, with a little anxiety on her face.
Xiangling gestured at her twice, Qin Ke'er immediately understood, Xiangling asked her to invite Lizheng, although her legs and feet were not good, she also tried her best to run fast.
Boss Wu went down to the cellar and was a little surprised to see the sumptuous food inside, and turned out a few large bones, but they were pig bones, and the meat was also chicken and pork, and there was no beef.
Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, Liu Mingyang took all the beef jerky when he came, and there were a lot of newly bought peppercorns in the cellar, the taste was heavier, and Boss Wu didn't smell the smell of beef at all, otherwise he couldn't tell if he had a hundred mouths.
As soon as his heart was put down, Boss Wu's son wrapped a piece of dried cow dung from the garden with broken grass leaves, and viciously threw the cow dung at Xiangling's feet.
Boss Wu was able to get caught now, and scolded Xiangling: "Chu Xiangling, since you saved Liu Xiwang, I still praised you for being a good person, I didn't expect you to steal cattle behind your back, no wonder your family has become so rich!" I and the second family have four cows, you give the nest, you accompany my cow!! ”
Xiangling frowned and said, "Uncle Wu, my family has become rich recently, why is it because of washing clothes for the military camp!" Your family's three rooms also earn money from it, and it has nothing to do with your family's loss of cattle! I've never seen your cows! ”
Xiangling wanted to say something, Wu San's lazy daughter-in-law hesitated and took out a piece of cow bone from behind her, Xiangling's face changed, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
If it is said that the cow dung was deliberately framed by someone, but this cow bone is really his own family, and it is a whole cow leg that Wang Wenqian took when he entrusted himself to cook a few days ago.
Remove the remaining beef bones, Xiangling chopped into several large pieces, planned to boil soup for Chu Xia to drink, prepared it and put it in the pot the night before, but I didn't expect to be dragged out and gnawed by the hyena who entered the hospital.
Xiangling killed the hyena, took out the hyena and cow bones and threw them away, she remembered that she and the hyena received a sack and threw it away, was it dragged by the hyena to the garden and didn't see it?
Seeing that Xiangling was silent, the Wu family thought that Xiangling had acquiesced, and the crowd was furious, looking like they wanted to eat people.
Xiangling said to Wu Laodao with a cold face: "Uncle Wu, it's not that I don't speak, but this matter is weird, a few days ago, Chu Gang's family was said to be a cattle thief because of a piece of cow dung, and now my family is also said to be a cattle thief because of a piece of cow dung, it is all a bubble of cow dung, it is such a coincidence, the person who sent you the news, and the person who sent the news to the Chu family, could it be a person, is he a god operator?" ”
Boss Wu was also a little suspicious, feeling that this matter was full of loopholes, but the evidence was found in Xiangling's family, if he coaxed it first, Chu Xiangling's family would not give compensation, and his family's four cows would be lost in vain, which would not be possible.
Boss Wu stubbornly denied: "I don't care, anyway, where is the evidence?" It's clear that you're quibbling! Hurry up and pay the silver, four oxen, one ten taels of silver; If you don't pay compensation, I will send you to the government immediately to see how you will marry in the future!! ”
As soon as the Jiang family heard that they were going to be an official, they immediately protected their daughter behind them, held a feather duster, crossed their waists, and tried to pretend to be a dominatrix, and said angrily: "The surname is Wu!" You don't spew blood, my family didn't steal your cattle at all, you came to the door to steal money! If I go to the official, I won't believe that the yamen was opened by your family, and this injustice will not be avenged!! ”
Wu Sanlazy snorted lightly: "The widow has gained power, and her words are much tougher, is there a man behind her?" How many men have you raised? ”
"Wu Sanlazy, did you walk blindly and fall into the dung pit, your mouth is full of stench?"
A large group of people came from outside the courtyard, Ge Changlin, Li Gui, He Xiang, as well as Liu Xiwang, Li Shishi, Li Er, He Kui and his wife, as well as more than a dozen men who recently worked for Xiangling's family, and even Chu Gang, who was falsely accused of stealing cattle a few days ago, came, and Chu Lizheng was the first.
The one who scolded Wu San for being lazy and smelly was Ge Changlin, who was gearing up to beat people.
There were so many people who came at once, and it was obvious that most of them had benefited from the Chu Xiangling family, and the arrogance of the Wu family fell immediately.
Unlike the trust in Chu Gang's family, Chu Li completely believes that Xiangling will never steal cattle.
Chu Li said to Wu Sanlazy with a gloomy face: "Wu Sanlazy, you fucking talk about serious things, don't talk about those who don't have it, isn't Xiangling good to your family?" If you have a job, the first thing to think about is your mother, are you good, but you are not a man? ”
Wu Sanlazy's daughter-in-law listened and lowered her head with some guilt.
When she picked up the cow bone, she hesitated, but when she thought of what the eldest brother said, if the gang wanted to return the silver, he would lend her family five taels of silver, and her son was at the age of marriage, just in time for a dowry.
Boss Wu didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he said with a very hard mouth: "Lizheng, it's not that I wronged Xiangling's family for nothing, but I found cow dung in her yard, and her family doesn't raise cattle, this cow dung must have been left by stolen cows, and if my village lost my cow, she will have to compensate." ”
Chu Lizheng replied with a cold face: "If anyone's cow is sick, he will secretly dispose of the cow, and he will have to pay a huge amount of compensation for throwing a soak of cow dung in the yard of a rich family. ”
The Wu family was stunned and stopped moving.
