Chapter 17: Patriarchy

Huang Lianzhi looked confused, looked at the big fat, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

"You...... What are you talking nonsense? ”

"Auntie, you should hear it clearly." Xia Youzhi smiled sarcastically, "Your son said that it was the passbook he took." ”

The child is so careless, and it comes out as soon as it explodes.

"You little prodigal, what are you talking nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth."

Huang Lianzhi's face was gloomy, and he rushed forward to pull Xia Youzhi's hair.

Xia Youzhi's body deviated, Huang Lianzhi stumbled to the ground, got up and rushed forward again.

Mother Xia finally recovered from the shock, and hurriedly grabbed Huang Lianzhi, "Your son stole our family passbook, and you still want to beat my daughter, and there is no reason for it." ”

Xia Qinglin saw that his mother and sister were being bullied, so he gritted his teeth and rushed up to kick Huang Lianzhi.

The three sisters of the Xia family also rushed forward.

"Don't fight, don't fight." Grandma Xia wailed anxiously beside her.

Grandpa Xia hurriedly stepped forward and tore away the crowd that was in a mess, and he fell to the ground after someone pushed him.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from outside the hospital.

"Stop it all!"

Xia Youzhi stopped his hand and looked up at the outside of the courtyard.

The village chief was angry, standing at the gate of the courtyard, followed by Gu Tingshen and a strange young man.

Huang Lianzhi took advantage of the fact that everyone stopped and bit Xia Youzhi's wrist hard.

The crowd was stunned.

Xia Youzhi's brows furrowed, and he endured the severe pain and pushed Huang Lianzhi away.

However, Huang Lianzhi has a lot of strength, and Xia Youzhi can't push it away.

Gu Tingshen's eyes were cold, and he stepped forward with an arrow and pinched Huang Lianzhi's mouth, Huang Lianzhi was in pain, so he could only let go of Xia Youzhi.

Seeing that there were bloody bite marks on the thin white arm, Gu Tingshen's brows furrowed even deeper.

With such a deep tooth mark, this Coptis branch wants to bite off all the flesh.

Thinking of it, Gu Tingshen's eyes became even colder.

Xia Youzhi felt Gu Tingshen's eyes, brushed his messy hair, and whispered, "I'm fine."

But he scolded in his heart, why every time he was embarrassed, he could see it.

Xia Mu reacted at this time and anxiously checked the wound, "Zhizhi, are you okay?" ”

Xia Youzhi shook his head.

"You're too vicious, Huang Lianzhi, you can do it to children." Xia Mu turned her head to look at Huang Lianzhi on the side and said hatefully.

"Why am I so vicious......

Talking about it is going to quarrel again.

The village chief sank his face, "Shut up, or you will be sent to the police station." ”

Only then did the crowd fall silent again.

"Tell me what's going on?"

The village chief doesn't know what mood to face it with anymore, how can this Xia family make trouble?

"She framed us for stealing the passbook." Huang Lianzhi pointed at Xia Youzhi and took the lead in opening his mouth.

The village chief frowned, but there was no squeak.

"yes, that's the villain." The big fat also pointed at Xia Youzhi.

"You're the bad guy." Xia Qinglin replied angrily.

"Qinglin." Xia Youzhi stopped Xia Qinglin and said lightly, "Village chief, this big fat man stole my family's passbook and denied it." ”

"You're talking nonsense." Huang Lianzhi stared at Xia Youzhi, "Who saw it?" If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll call the police. ”

"I hear you." The village chief spoke majestically.

The crowd was silent again.

Huang Lianzhi's mind was a little overwhelmed, and he looked at the village chief, "Village chief, you can't believe it." ”

The village chief ignored Huang Lianzhi and stared at Da Fat seriously, "Da Fat, you tell the village chief's grandfather, did you take it?" ”

Big Fat shook his head in a panic.

"I'll just say it's not big fat, you have to lose money for this frame-up." Huang Lianzhi pointed at Xia Youzhi and said triumphantly.

"The police have a way to find out, but if they don't admit it and are found out again, they will be directly pulled and shot at that time." Gu Ting said ruthlessly.

When everyone heard that they had been shot, their hearts were pounding with fright.

The big fat face was even more pale, and he cried "wow".

The big fat cry made Huang Lianzhi's heart sink.

Don't...... Is it really your own son?

Everyone also had speculation in their hearts.

Xia Youzhi sighed in his heart, in this era, people's legal knowledge is really lacking.

This Gu Tingshen is obviously blind.

However, it does work.

"If you voluntarily turn yourself in, you won't be shot, so, is it you, big fat?" Gu Tingshen continued.

The big fat timidly glanced at Gu Tingshen, who was expressionless, and then looked at the village chief with a serious face, and pointed to Xia Lanhua on the side in a panic, "It's the second sister." ”

Everyone looked at Xia Lanhua one after another.

I saw that her face was pale and trembling, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

Xia Youzhi was a little puzzled.

Xia Lanhua has a cowardly temperament, and she will never steal the Xia family's passbook, which is more like taking the blame for the big fat.

"What are you talking about, you damn boy?" Only then did Huang Lianzhi react and roared at the big fat.

"Cuilian, do you see if this is your family?"

The village chief ignored the others, took out the passbook from his pocket, and handed it to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu took it excitedly and opened it tremblingly.

When he saw the words on it, he nodded again and again, "It's my family's, it's my family." ”

"Do you see the number of money?" Gu Ting, who was on the side, spoke deeply.

Xia Mu checked it again and finally put her mind at ease after making sure it was correct.

"How did this passbook get into your hands, did you steal it?"

Huang Lianzhi didn't choose to speak, and his eyes swirled between the old village chief.

The old village chief laughed angrily.

He has been in charge of Niujiao Village for decades, and it is the first time that someone dares to slander him so openly.

"This passbook was found by Shenwa and Wenwa when they went to the back mountain to repair the house where the cattle were raised, and brought it to me."

Gu Tingshen nodded, "Since my aunt doesn't believe it, let's let the police come here." ”

"Don't." Xia Lanhua's face turned even paler when she heard that she was going to find the police, "Yes...... I took it. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huang Lianzhi rushed forward and beat Xia Lanhua like crazy.

"I took it, and after my mother opened the door, I took advantage of the fact that the door was not closed, and I ...... Come in and get it. After Xia Lanhua finished speaking, she lowered her head.

"When did you get it?" Xia Youzhi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Uh...... I didn't look at the time, about three o'clock. Xia Lanhua was a little scared, "But I'm not sure." ”

"Okay, since you said you took it, let the police investigate whether anyone saw you do anything else during that time." Xia Youzhi said lightly, "If you didn't do it, it would be useless for you to take the blame." ”

Xia Lanhua looked up at Xia Youzhi in horror.

She had been embroidering with her friend Chunfang in the village that afternoon, and the police could find out when they checked.

"You want to take the blame for Big Fat?"

Seeing Xia Lanhua's expression, Xia Youzhi verified his guess even more.

Everyone looked at Da Fat.

Big Fat hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't, I didn't steal the passbook." ”

Xia Youzhi ignored it and continued, "You think you love your younger brother, but have you ever thought about what will happen to you in the future?

You will go to jail, you will be spurned by society, everyone thinks you are a thief, and you will not have a good marriage,

Even if you get married in the future, your children will be spurned because of your sins today.

Just because ...... They had a thief mother who was in prison. ”

Xia Youzhi's words smashed into Xia Lanhua's heart like ice, and she trembled.

"What's more, your parents are still patriarchal, and even if you do this, you won't get any recognition." Xia Youzhi glanced at Xia Lanhua, "Is it worth it?" ”

Is it worth it?

Xia Lanhua's head went blank, echoing this sentence.

Since he was a child, he was instilled by his parents to love his younger brother, and everything in the family belongs to his younger brother.

So when he saw that Da Fat took the Xia family's passbook, the conditioned reflex was to help him hide it, and even take the blame.

But he didn't think about his life at all, is it worth it?

Xia Youzhi did sympathize with Xia Lanhua.

Born in a patriarchal family, she was brainwashed since she was a child and had to let her son do everything, so she didn't mind saying a few more words to remind her.

But if she is still obsessed and unrepentant, then ...... That's all she can say, after all, she's not a virgin.

"Not me." Xia Lanhua whispered and glanced at Xia Youzhi timidly, "I didn't steal it." ”

"Then you just tell me about it." Xia Youzhi's face was waveless, and he spoke calmly.

Xia Lanhua told the truth of the matter one by one.

In the afternoon four days ago, she went to her good friend Chunfang's house in the same village to weave beads, and when she came back, she happened to see Da Fat going out of Xia's house, and her hands were still touching her pockets.

Later, under her questioning, she found out that Da Fat had taken the Xia family's passbook.

She wanted to secretly let her go back, but by that time the villagers had already returned from the fields one after another, and she never found a chance.

Later, she thought of the cattle shed in the back mountain and buried the passbook there, thinking that when this matter was over, she would find an opportunity to secretly put it back.

But she didn't expect Xia Youzhi to call the police directly, and she panicked.

"Third aunt, I'm sorry, I really didn't think about not paying you back." Xia Lanhua looked at Xia Mu guiltily.

Xia Mu did not speak.

Thinking of what happened in the past few days, she really didn't know how to face the uncle's family.

If it weren't for Xia Youzhi, their family Qingbo would really not be able to go to school.

In Huang Lianzhi's hoarse scolding, the police finally rushed to hear the news.

After learning what had happened, the police did not arrest him on the spot.

"This matter can be light or serious, if you don't want to pursue it, it can be said that children are not sensible, if you really want to investigate, then although this matter is not yet the standard of sentencing, it is enough to drink a pot."

Officer Yan looked at Xia Youzhi and said, his eyes glanced at Huang Lianzhi and Da Fat again.

The relationship between the countryside is complicated, and if you really send your relatives in, it is estimated that you will be poked in the backbone by the villagers.

Officer Yan had a good impression of Xia Youzhi, so he reminded him.

Xia Youzhi nodded, "Uncle policeman, can we think about it for a night?" ”

Officer Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded and looked at Huang Lianzhi, "Stay at home well, if you escape, not only will the sentence be more serious, but you will also be wanted by the police for the rest of your life." ”

Huang Lianzhi was frightened, and she dared to go in the nest.

"Alright, wrap up." Officer Yan finished speaking and left.

The village chief also dismissed the crowd watching the excitement.

They only came after the police entered the village, and they still didn't know a lot about it, but they also knew that Xia Laosan's passbook had been found, and the person who stole the passbook was still his nephew.

After everyone left, the Xia family frowned.

"You should go, auntie." Xia Youzhi glanced at Huang Lianzhi and said coolly.

Huang Lianzhi shuddered after hearing this, and directly stepped forward to grab Xia Mu's hand.

She cried and shouted, "Cuilian, you can save your nephew, this is the seed of the old Xia family." ”

Xia Mu looked at Xia Youzhi at a loss.

Xia Youzhi sneered.

This Coptis branch knows that he is not easy to mess with, so he picks soft persimmons and pinchs them.

"Auntie, you may have asked for the wrong object, our family, my mother can't be the master."

Xia Youzhi chuckled.
