Chapter 21: Hearing Movement

When she got home, she told her husband Qiu Manfu about Qiu Decai's refusal to admit that his cattle had eaten the ears of rice in her family's rice field and Qiu Decai's blunt attitude.

Qiu Manfu was cleaning the yard in front of the door, bowing his head and not saying a word.

Tian Guifang took out a sickle and waved it and said to him, you go to Qiu Decai to settle accounts, and ask his family to compensate 50 catties of rice, and you can also discount the money.

Qiu Manfu has always been loyal and honest, looked up at his wife and said, we can warn Qiu Decai, ask him to keep an eye on his cattle in the future, and next time if he takes off the rope and runs to the field to eat rice, he will have to break one of his legs? As for asking him to compensate, forget it.

Tian Guifang waved the sickle in his hand again, and said forcefully, it can't be counted. It's okay if you don't want his family to compensate, there is also rice in his house that is heading and flowering, so I will go and cut down a piece, so that his family will also cause losses, and they will all level each other.

Qiu Manfu let go of the broom, reached out to grab the sickle in her hand, but did not grab it, but grabbed the hand that she was holding the sickle to the side, and said sharply, Gui Fang, this kind of thing can't be done, a cow is a beast, are you also a beast? It is understandable that the cow has eaten a few rice plants, and you deliberately cut the ears of rice with a sickle, can you make up for the loss of our family? Even if you can make it back, you can't do it, let alone you can't make it back. In order to vent your anger and try to inflict the same damage on others, your heart is too narrow.

Tian Guifang seemed to be moved, and as soon as she quietly let go, the sickle fell to the ground.

She was still unconvinced and said, Man Fu, Decai is bullying our family, and you let it?

Qiu Manfu said, "If you don't talk about bullying, I don't believe that Decai Bawang's cattle run to the fields to eat the rice in our fields." As he spoke, he kicked away the scythe at his feet, and continued to discipline her, if you really want to do something excessive, it will be of a bad nature.

Tian Guifang was still unconvinced, although she listened to her husband's persuasion and didn't do anything out of line, she still nagged in her mouth, so bear with it, don't cheap him.

At dinner, she said to her husband, "Man Fu, we don't want to be rich to compensate for the loss, we have to find the rich and make it clear!" lest he still think that we are easy to bully, and that our ears of rice are not eaten by his cows.

Qiu Manfu hummed, put down the chopsticks, stood up from the table and said, it is also necessary to find money and talk about it.

Tian Guifang was originally cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, but she put them away at this time, urging Qiu Manfu to go out, and she closed the door.

From Qiu Manfu's back to the front, the houses on the left and right of the neighborhood along the road were lit up, but when he walked to the door of Qiu Decai's house, he found that the house was pitch black.

Tian Guifang thought about it and said to her husband, let's go around to the back of Qiu Decai's house and have a look.

Qiu Manfu walked to the back of the house and glanced into the window, but there was still no light.

Tian Guifang, who came with him, said, regardless of whether it has lights or not, I want to go to the cattle pen in his backyard to see if there are cows, and if there are cows, it means that they have come back.

As he was talking, he heard the sound of the cow's bell, which came from the cowpen in his backyard.

Tian Guifang said that there is no need to look at it, which means that Decai got the cow back and went out again.

Qiu Manfu turned around and walked around and said, where will he go at night?

Tian Guifang opened her throat and called Qiu Decai, and immediately stopped screaming. I thought: I went to Tian Ji during the day, and I didn't speculate with him about his cattle eating rice ears, he was angry, and now he just called him to his face, and he wouldn't necessarily pay attention to it, not to mention that Qiu Decai didn't know where to go.

Tian Guifang raised her hand and pulled her husband's sleeve and said, You shout around the village houses to see if he agrees.

Qiu Manfu shook his hand and said forget it! If I look for him tomorrow, I will shout according to your wishes, and he may not agree. He knew that our family would be looking for trouble with him, did he hide?

How so? Decai is not afraid of people at all, will he hide for this matter? He knows that our family is not ruthless, so he will not hide. Tian Guifang analyzed this, and Qiu Manfu agreed. He said, even if he is not hiding, I will call him now, if he agrees in someone else's house, we will find him and reprimand him in front of others, he will be even more dissatisfied. Even if it is reasonable, it can't be argued, I think we might as well go home, it's not appropriate to find him at this time.

Tian Guifang was a little dissatisfied, saying that we would wait at the door of Decai's house, and it was possible that he would come back as soon as we left.

Qiu Manfu walked to the front door of Qiu Decai's house and stopped, just waiting here as his wife said.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Tian Guifang waited impatiently, and her husband was still waiting unhurriedly while turning around like a leisurely walk in front of Qiu Decai's house; She walked towards the lighted place.

The light is transmitted from other people's houses, and the light reflected outside becomes faint, and if it encounters the alienation of objects such as tree branches, it will appear mottled and hazy.

It is easy for Tian Guifang to walk in the dark and look at people with lights, but it is not easy for people to look at her in the haze outside from the bright house. Of course, people don't have something in their hearts, and they don't look out for no reason.

Tian Guifang is different, she wants to find Qiu Decai to see which one he visits.

She quietly glanced at the two or three houses with the doors open or half-hidden, and without finding Qiu Decai, she continued to walk towards the door of the house with bright light.

When she approached the door of Cai Zhongsheng's house, she suddenly stopped, because someone was talking inside, like Qiu Decai's voice, she approached the door, and the door was tightly closed.

She just stood there and listened, and while listening, she looked into the crack in the door, and this glance surprised her, Cai Zhongsheng's man Wu Zidan was not seen in the room, but Qiu Decai, the man, was sitting on a large chair, and Cai Zhongsheng was also sitting next to him.

He put one hand around Cai Zhongsheng's waist, and put the other hand on her white knee and said, Zhong Sheng, I helped your family pick up dung today, and forgot to take care of my cow, I began to tie the cow in the bamboo garden, it broke the rope, and scurried into the house to eat the ears of rice in the field of the Manfu family, and the mother-in-law of Manfu also asked me to compensate for the loss, I didn't do it, but I offended her.

Cai Zhongsheng said, why don't you pay?

Qiu Decai said, I don't admit it, I didn't see my cow eat the ears of rice in his field, and no one testified, why should I pay compensation?

You're too slippery. Cai Zhongsheng turned his face sideways to look at Qiu Decai and said, and poked his finger on his forehead.

Qiu Decai said, it's not for you, forget about the cow. As he spoke, he picked up Cai Zhongsheng's body and walked straight to the bedroom.

Tian Guifang could see it clearly from the crack in the door, and she also understood that the reason why the rice ears in her field were eaten by Qiu Decai's cattle was because he was distracted and was entangled by Cai Zhongsheng.

Tian Guifang thought: I came to hear movement in her room at noon, and thought it was her man Wu Zidan who came back, but now I see, this problem is complicated.

She really wanted to make a noise and make this couple ugly, but on second thought, it was not appropriate. At the moment, there was only a small contradiction with Qiu Decai, if he took advantage of this trouble, wouldn't Qiu Decai have an enmity with himself? Even Cai Zhongsheng will make enemies with himself, and he can't commit it. But if Qiu Decai is not whole, she feels uncomfortable.

So, Tian Guifang quickly returned to Qiu Decai's door and said to her husband who was waiting, Manfu, what are you waiting for? Qiu Decai and Cai Zhongsheng, who walked the man in the house, were entangled, don't believe it, you go over and see.

I felt that saying this was not enough to express the seriousness of the problem, so I immediately corrected it and said, I don't look at it, I can't see it, I will take you over and stand under the window of the outer wall of Cai Zhongsheng's bedroom and you can hear the movement inside.

Qiu Manfu said, is there such a thing? As he spoke, he followed Tian Guifang and approached Cai Zhongsheng's house, and when they were near, they slowed down, almost walking on tiptoe, trying not to make a sound.

When I came to the root of the wall of Cai Zhongsheng's bedroom, there was a window two meters high from the base of the wall, and the sash was closed tightly, but I could still hear the faint sound made inside.

Qiu Mancai listened for a while, then touched Tian Guifang and said with an air current, let's go! Nothing good to hear.

Tian Guifang refused, maybe her husband was here, she became bolder, and she had a thought of trying to make the two of them look embarrassed in front of all beings, of course, her emotions had not swelled to the extreme, and she could barely control it.
