Zhengchu was cautious and didn't dare to let the sea water spill a little bit, and the water stains on the ground couldn't have been caused by him.

And when Chen Xiaonian first entered, he was in a hurry for the seafood, and he didn't notice the water on the ground. Just now, a few people sorted out the dead ones again, and Chen Xiaonian only got the stagnant water on the ground later.

Unexpectedly, this was something they had before they went in.

If it weren't for Erlang's reminder, Chen Xiaonian really didn't know such details.

Just after she said this, Dashan suddenly rubbed the upper of the shoe hard, eager to rub the soles of the shoes out of the sparks. The next moment, he realized that he had overreacted just now, and when he saw everyone staring at him, he rolled his eyes and made excuses for himself.

"Don't talk nonsense! It rained last night, the road in the village was not dry, and I just stepped on the water! ”

Hearing this, everyone in Lotus Village quieted down.

Zhengchu trembled all over, and he was really angry.

"When did it rain last night? Or is it just your house that is raining? ”

Dashan wanted to say more, but when he raised his eyes, the villagers looked at him in unison, shaking their heads and sighing, their expressions were full of disappointment.

"Dashan, did you really do it?"

An old woman squeezed in from behind and questioned her.

"Grandma, I'm ......"

Syllable!

A slap came, and the old woman trembled and almost fell.

Fortunately, the people around him hurriedly held it up, so that they would not really fall.

"Your father and mother died early, and I was the only one who pulled you up. I've been raising you carefully for so many years, and that's what made you commit such a wrong thing? ”

After scolding this pass, the old woman walked up to Zhengchu, held his hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhengchu, don't worry, according to the price you sold, how much silver Dashan has lost to you, grandma will pay for it." ”

Zhengchu was like a fish in his throat, and he held it for a long time before he said in a dumb voice: "Grandma, don't worry, the loss is not so much, only a dozen seafood died, and they are all small and not worth a few dollars." Just now it was just to scare everyone, and it didn't get in the way. ”

The look in the old woman's eyes finally lit up, "Really? ”

Zhengchu nodded, "Really, grandma, when did I lie to you." ”

Everyone in Lotus Village shook their heads and sighed again, obviously knowing the truth of the situation, and also knowing that what Zheng Chu did was really good.

The villagers all said goodbye and left under the eyes of Zhengchu's father, and they invited the old woman to the house to say some comforting words.

Zheng Chu lowered his head and came to Chen Xiaonian.

"Sister Xiao Nian, I'm really sorry, how much silver will I pay for those seafoods, I will give it at the original price."

His voice became smaller and smaller, "If I can't give it now, I will return it to you in the future, and there will be no less than a word." ”

Chen Xiaonian smiled.

"You won't get it, how can you pay for the money? Besides, Dashan and his grandmother said that she would pay for the silver. ”

Zhengchu shook his head, "No." Grandma is old, and now it is difficult to work in the fields, where can she help Dashan pay back? ”

"Then she can't, you can?"

Zhengchu straightened his back, "That's nature, it's all in a village, I can't ignore it." Sister Xiao Nian, don't worry, I won't lose a penny to you. ”

Chen Xiaonian finally understood why the life of the Zhengchu family was so poor, it was all a debt for others!

That's it.

Chen Xiaonian didn't plan to ask for his silver, but because of Erlang's hard work in these seafoods, she raised her head to look over, but saw that Erlang looked at Zhengchu with satisfaction and appreciation.

This is the first time Chen Xiaonian has seen such emotions in Erlang's eyes.

She was suffocated and asked, "Xianggong, what do you say?" ”

Erlang shook his head, not because he didn't know, but because he didn't care about this bit of silver.

"No, no, no, the silver must be given, and it should be as much as it should be. I, Liang Zhengchu, don't like to owe others money. ”

Zheng Chu straightened out his words, and did not give Chen Xiaonian a chance to speak again.

Erhu's father had a cold face and was angry. After saying that, I was afraid that my brother-in-law would be unhappy, and in the end, the two families would be stiff again, but I was angry in my heart, and I really snorted coldly.

Zhengchu's face is not very good-looking, but it is not easy to say anything.

Chen Xiaonian looked at Dashan, "If my guess is correct, you poured the hot water boiling on the pot into the bucket, and you didn't feel at ease to stir it with your hands, so the seafood died." ”

Dashan raised his head suddenly, unable to believe how Chen Xiaonian knew.

Chen Xiaonian said one by one according to what Erlang told her just now: "When we went in, there was obviously a lot of firewood in the fire pond, but the water in the pot was not hot, obviously someone had just mixed it with cold water. Then there is the stagnant water on the ground, and everything makes sense. ”

Zhengchu suddenly realized, "This morning, my father went to boil some water, and the water didn't boil for nearly half an hour, and he came to complain to me, it turned out that he was ...... by you."

Dashan opened his mouth to say something, but in the eyes of Shang Erlang's cold eyes, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground.

"It's true that I mixed the water into it, and the seafood died. It's me who has bad intentions. ”

At first, I couldn't figure it out, "Why?" Tell me why. ”

Dashan gritted his teeth, "Liang Zhengchu, what are you pretending to be here?" Obviously he is just a junior, but he pretends to be the patriarch of our Lotus Village all day. We don't do that in Lotus Village, it's not up to you to have the final say. You are pretending to be a good person everywhere, don't you just want others to owe you a debt of favor, so that you can support everyone when the time comes? Others are kept in the dark by you, but I can see it clearly. ”

A group of people heard it in a fog, and they didn't know where Dashan's accusations came from.

Erlang was afraid that the little daughter-in-law would stand hard, so he brought a small bench for her to sit on, Chen Xiaonian pointed to the other one, Erlang obediently brought the stool over, and Chen Xiaonian pulled him to sit down again.

He felt sorry for Chen Xiaonian, and Chen Xiaonian also felt sorry for him.

The two of them sat next to each other, listening to Dashan's unreasonable accusations.

"There's someone in the town who has to work, and you'd rather not have your own work than have to stuff the people in the village into it. The benefits given by other people's owners, you have to pretend to be a high and give people back, don't you know that those benefits can make other people's families eat an extra mouthful of food? Other people's affairs, what do you have to get involved in? What does it have to do with you? If you don't mix things up, you still have to pretend to be a good person there, pretend to be innocent, and let you take all the good things alone! And last time......"

Dashan didn't finish talking, and every time he said something, Zhengchu's face became more and more cold.

This is a matter of Lotus Village, and Chen Xiaonian, a foreigner, is not easy to talk to. Besides, she and Zhengchu have only met twice, and they can't say a few words, and they don't know much about his character, so they have no right to speak.

But when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Erlang, who also had a cold face, Chen Xiaonian's eyebrows jumped.

Looking at the second tiger father again, sure enough, his face was just as ugly.
