Chapter 13: Catching the Thief

Amid the chatter of the neighbors, the village chief arrived.

"Grandpa the village chief." Xia Youzhi pretended to raise his hand to wipe away the non-existent tears in the corners of his eyes.

The village chief's wrinkled face showed a hint of cracking.

Can this Xia girl pretend to be more like?

However, he had already heard what Xia Lao's third daughter-in-law said.

"Guozhong, you open the door." The village chief turned his head and shouted through the door.

As soon as Boss Xia heard the village chief call his name, he ignored Huang Lianzhi's obstruction and opened the door.

When I saw that outside the gate of my house, surrounded by neighbors, my expression was a little unnatural.

"Yo, didn't you say you're not at home?" Zhang Erbald said sarcastically.

The old village chief glared at him, and then honestly shut up.

"Village Chief, you're here." Uncle Xia said stupidly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Hmm." The village chief glanced into the courtyard, and when he saw the pork belly in the bowl, his anger rushed up, "Did you buy meat today?" ”

Boss Xia didn't dare to squeak.

Huang Lianzhi smiled awkwardly on the side, "Yes, I bought meat tonight, do you want to come in and eat some of the village chief." ”

The village chief snorted heavily, ignored Huang Lianzhi, and looked at Boss Xia, "Guozhong, you say it yourself." ”

When Xia Lao's third daughter-in-law entered the door, she cried and said that her meat and passbook were lost, and she also led herself to Xia Lao's family, what else did she not understand?

Xia Guozhong's face was a little unbearable.

There were so many pairs of eyes watching outside the door, all curious about what was going on.

"Hehe, Lianzhi, this mother-in-law, I don't know the severity, I want to help her third aunt look at the yard today, and when I saw the meat, I thought it was bought for the big fat grandmother, so I took it directly." Xia Guozhong explained with an embarrassed smile.

Turned his head to look at Xia Youzhi, "Youzhi, this is your aunt's fault, this meat, you take it back." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the table in the courtyard.

"You dead man, why do you say that?"

Huang Lianzhi looked at Xia Guozhong hatefully, but he didn't expect Xia Guozhong to admit it directly.

"Don't take my meat." The big fat man on the side rushed out and pushed Xia Guozhong hard, "This is my meat." ”

Xia Guozhong didn't pay attention, he was almost pushed, and turned his head to look at everyone embarrassedly.

"This meat is not allowed to be taken, the two old ones are still living in our house, and the third family has no good things to honor all year round, this meat is considered to be the old three families to honor the two old ones." Huang Lianzhi looked at Xia Mu contemptuously.

The grandmother of the Xia family on the side was also a little resentful at the moment.

The three old families made such a big joke for this bit of meat, and the older generation paid the most attention to face.

Xia Youzhi snorted coldly in his heart.

The uncle's style seems to be a big fuss in their family.

"Uncle, honoring grandma is what we should do." Xia Youzhi sighed, "Even if our family can't eat meat once a year, this meat should be eaten by my grandmother first." ”

Xia Guozhong sneered, how could he take this.

Xia Youzhi looked at Xia's mother in embarrassment, "Mom, let's not eat this meat, I also see that you have been in poor health recently, and you have worked so hard to plant trees in the mountains, and you are all thin and out of shape, Qinglin is small and not tall, I am in a hurry, so I have only bought meat twice more recently." ”

When they heard this, they couldn't stop nodding.

But Boss Xia is too much of a thing, the three families are all poor like this, and it is not easy to buy meat twice, and this is still being taken.

Xia Guozhong's face turned red after hearing this.

The conditions of his third brother's family are poor, which is known to the whole village, and the four girls he raises do not go to school and can help the family.

The eldest sister and the second sister can even go up the mountain to plant trees, and the conditions at home are naturally much better than those of the third family.

Xia Guozhong ignored the big fat crying and tearing, and handed the half-eaten pork belly to Xia Youzhi, "Youzhi, there is still some meat here, you take it back and eat it." ”

Xia Youzhi sneered and said lightly, "Uncle, this meat was originally my family." ”

Xia Guozhong choked and didn't speak again.

Xia Youzhi looked at the meat that had already eaten more than half of it, and didn't take it.

"Uncle, our family usually doesn't have any filial piety to grandma, after all, we haven't touched the slightest bit of oil, but the money that should be given to the elderly every month is not less than a point."

Xia Guozhong nodded and did not refute.

The big fat man who had been making trouble next to him cried "wow", and rushed out to hit Xia Youzhi, "You bad guy, take away my family's meat." ”

Xia Youyi turned around, and the big fat man rushed straight into the crowd.

Xia Guozhong hurriedly stepped forward to grab the big fat and was scratched out of a few wounds.

Xia Youzhi looked at Huang Lianzhi, who was gloating on the side, and said slowly, "Since Da Fat likes to eat so much, let's leave the meat...... When we turn around, the eldest aunt can just convert it into money and give it to us. ”

After all, she couldn't eat this meat.

"Xia Youzhi, why are you embarrassed to take the money?" Huang Lianzhi pointed at Xia Youzhi angrily.

Xia Mu's face turned pale and pulled Xia Youzhi's clothes.

She didn't expect things to be so big.

She thought that she had gone to the village chief to ask for clarification, and if she took it, she would just ask Huang Lianzhi to return it to her.

Xia Youzhi glanced at Xia Mu, she knew Xia Mu's thoughts.

But some people just don't remember to eat, you have to hit her to be afraid, otherwise this kind of thing will only continue.

"Mom, you believe me." Xia Youzhi said in a low voice, "Think about it, it's okay if the meat is gone, but if you don't have that money, what should the eldest brother do?" ”

Xia Mu's face changed.

She is used to being kind-hearted, and she always feels that there should be no trouble between brothers, so she has been holding back Huang Lianzhi all these years.

Thinking that her eldest son couldn't go to school because he didn't have this money, Xia's mother gritted her teeth and let go of the corners of Xia Youzhi's clothes.

The corners of Xia Youzhi's mouth raised slightly.

Her mother is kind-hearted, but as long as it involves her children, no matter how kind-hearted her mother is, she will do her best to protect her children.

"Auntie, this meat is originally our family, and the brothers are clear about the accounts, and this is still passed down from the ancestors." Xia Youzhi turned his head to look at Huang Lianzhi and said coldly, "What's more, this is for my mother's body, what's the matter, auntie, doesn't she even let go of this bit of meat?" ”

"You!" Huang Lianzhi trembled with anger.

Where has she lost face in front of so many people over the years, needless to say last time, this time let this little hoof handle it again.

"Okay, Guozhong, take the money!" The old village chief, who had not squeaked, said with a frown.

"Village Chief!" Huang Lianzhi screamed, and wanted to speak.

"What? Is it reasonable to eat other people's meat? The old village chief glared angrily, "Don't hurry up yet." ”

Why is there so much bad thing about this Xia family, it was dealt with not long ago, and now it is coming again.

Huang Lianzhi reluctantly returned to the room, took out a dollar, and handed it to Xia Youzhi.

Xia Youzhi didn't answer, "Auntie, this is a mistake, right?" Grandma Liu's pork belly is two pieces a catty, my family bought a catty, and I also bought a big barrel bone, how can this be considered a dollar, right? ”

"You little prodigal hoof, your pork belly is only half a catty in the sky, why is it only a catty?"

Huang Lianzhi stopped doing it now, and pointed at Xia Youzhi and scolded again.

I have to say, Huang Lianzhi is the truth, this meat is indeed only half a catty.

"Huang Lianzhi, what do you say? You just scolded your niece like that. When Xia Mu heard Huang Lianzhi's swearing, she was immediately angry.

"Phew, return my niece, I don't have such a niece." Huang Lianzhi glanced at Xia Mu disdainfully.

"You!" Xia Mu trembled with anger.

"That's enough, shut up." The village chief scolded loudly, "You, go and find your Grandma Liu." ”

The village chief pointed to a young man in the village and asked him to hurry to find Grandma Liu.

Won't the truth be revealed as soon as she comes?

Xia Mu's anger suddenly turned into worry, she knew that Xia Youzhi usually bought half a catty of meat at most.

Xia Youzhi glanced at Xia Mu calmly, patted the back of Xia Mu's hand, and comforted silently.

"Since we've already gone to find Grandma Liu, let's not waste time, let's solve another matter now." Xia Youzhi stared at Huang Lianzhi and said coldly.

Something else?!

The villagers' eyes flashed with gossip, and they all wanted to know what was going on.

The old village chief frowned, he knew what Xia Youzhi was talking about, and he almost forgot about this big event after a delay just now.

"Village chief grandfather, uncles and aunts, if it's just this meat matter, we don't dare to come to the door, after all...... My aunt stole it, and if she stole it, she stole it. Xia Youzhi said slowly.

Indeed, many people in the crowd thought that Xia Youzhi was making a big fuss and didn't care about his uncle's face.

The old village chief didn't squeak, waiting for Xia Youzhi to speak.

"My eldest brother was admitted to university, and the school teacher said that my eldest brother's score would be able to go to university, which is an honorable thing for our Niujiao Village, and there are no college students in any nearby village." Xia Youzhi said proudly.

The villagers nodded incessantly.

It's true, Qingbo's child can be admitted to university, this is the first college student in Niujiao Village, and it is the ancestral tomb that smokes, how honorable.

Xia Youzhi looked at the villagers with pride on their faces, and she was relieved.

People's jealousy is very terrifying, and only if they feel that it is also a good thing for them, will they not target the Xia family.

"My dad worked the construction site, and my mom never dared to stop planting trees in the mountains......

Xia Youzhi paused and looked at everyone with a heavy face.

Suddenly, his eyes turned and stabbed at Huang Lianzhi like an ice blade, "Now the more than 300 yuan has been stolen!" ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

With so much money, isn't this a matter of human life?

"When I went out in the morning, my door was locked, and my aunt was the only one with the key...... Kindly went to help us take care of the yard. ”

Xia Youzhi smiled sarcastically and turned to look at Huang Lianzhi, "Isn't it a coincidence that you say, auntie." ”

"I ...... I have indeed been to your yard, but I only take meat, where I have taken any passbook, don't wronged me. Huang Lianzhi's voice instantly rose several degrees.

Xia Youzhi looked at Huang Lianzhi quietly, there was surprise and anger in her eyes, but she didn't ...... Guilty!

Xia Youzhi lowered his eyes and did not speak.

She didn't know much about Huang Lianzhi, and at first she suspected that Huang Lianzhi took it.

But now it's clear that she may have been wrong in her guess.

That...... Who is it?

After Huang Lianzhi entered, he didn't lock the door properly, causing someone to sneak in behind?

Xia Youzhi frowned.

If that's the case, then it's really hard to do.
