Chapter Seventy-Three: Witnesses
"What?"
"Did you hear what the kid of the Chu family said? He said that the paper that can't be burned belongs to his family! ”
"The Chu family's shouldn't have deliberately cheated the Hu family!"
Chu Yi's faint words suddenly exploded in the crowd, and the people who joined in the excitement began to talk about it!
Huang Liang stared at the calm man in front of him dumbfounded, he really couldn't understand, how could he say this so lightly!
As soon as Hu Shun heard Chu Yi's words, he took advantage of the moment when Huang Liang was flustered, broke free and pressed his hand, and shouted: "Your family is finally willing to admit it, right?" It's you who deliberately hurt us, you must give us an explanation today, don't lose money quickly! ”
"The paper is indeed mine, but I didn't sell it to you, the paper was stolen in the workshop, and now you say that the paper is yours, I think it is you who should be explained!"
As soon as Chu Yi's words fell, Shen Luzhu took a step forward again and explained to the onlookers: "Originally, we didn't plan to tell the villagers about this, after all, they all live in the same place, and stealing is not a good thing, but the Hu family is really too deceitful today!" ”
The fat aunt and the others were greatly interested in the words of the little couple, and they couldn't wait to urge: "What the hell is wrong?" Chu family's daughter-in-law, tell us about it! ”
"You folks don't know, more than half a month ago, one night our workshop was stolen, and what was stolen was nothing else, it was the gold and silver paper that made paper ingots!
However, at that time, the batch of paper was a defective product that we had failed to do, although the color and appearance looked the same, but I don't know why it couldn't be burned, and then there were too many goods, and I couldn't put it in my yard, so I threw it away and felt a pity, so I temporarily moved it to the workshop. ”
The fat aunt listened and nodded: "That's a pity, I was blind, and then what?" Was it stolen? ”
"It's not a fat aunt, it's not been two days since it was moved, and it's all been stolen! Although there are more than 40 dozens in total, but then I thought that it was a defective product, and if I lost it, I lost it! ”
"Eh, the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, this aunt has to say a few words to you, how can you say that you have lost so many things, you young people, no matter how much money you can make, you can't be so careless!"
"Yes, more than forty dozen pieces of paper, how much money!"
The young daughter-in-law next to her couldn't stand the eldest ladies and aunts around her, so she always interrupted and interjected, and hurriedly persuaded: "Oh, my good aunts, can we let the Chu family finish talking and discuss it again!" ”
The fat aunt smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, yes, the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, you continue to say, leave us alone!" ”
Shen Luzhu smiled at the fat aunt: "What the aunts asked, that's exactly what I want to say." It's not that we don't feel sorry for those lost papers, but you think, if you look into it carefully, you can't find out the people in your own workshop in the end, so we think why should we be suspicious of each other for this little thing! ”
Many onlookers nodded their heads, feeling that Shen Luzhu made sense.
"But who would have thought that the Hu family would come to the door today, saying that we deceived his family and sold them the paper that could not be burned, and had to let us pay them two hundred taels of silver, it was simply a wicked person who sued first, you asked us to lose, and I also want to ask you, why is the paper lost by my family in you, if you steal it, and then run over and shout to catch the thief!"
Shen Luzhu's face suddenly changed as he spoke, as if he had been greatly wronged, and he couldn't help but want to step forward to comfort him.
"Yes, this Hu family is too much! No one is bullying our backer village, isn't it! ”
"If you steal other people's things and don't stop, you dare to come to the door to ask for money! Shame on you! ”
"I used to sell those broken burned papers to everyone, and now I steal things to make money, how can you scum come out of Wufang Village!"
The fat aunt still feels angry when she thinks of the tattered burning paper, which is simply the shame of her fat aunt's wise life: "I think they were not enough last time!" The thing that does not have a long memory! ”
Hu Shun was stunned by the sudden deterioration in front of him, shouldn't everyone follow them to accuse the Chu family of cheating money? Why are they scolding now!
"Fuck your fart, which of your eyes saw that Lao Tzu stole it!"
"Why didn't you steal it, why did you have the paper?"
"It's just that it wasn't stolen, but could it be that the paper ran over by itself?"
"Lao Tzu paid a lot of money to buy it!" Huang Liang glared and choked with the onlookers.
Hu Shun also helped: "We obviously bought it!" It's his Chu family! ”
"What you folks say makes sense, I also want to ask Boss Huang, why were the forty dozen pieces of paper lost by my family made into paper ingots and sold by you? Now it's still beating you upside down, saying that we cheated you, what about the evidence? You say that the paper is the one we tricked you, who saw it? Are there witnesses? Although not the whole village knows about the loss of paper in our house, the lock was pried and the things were lost, but the whole workshop saw it! ”
Hu Shun was forced by Shen Luzhu to ask him in a mess, forgetting what Huang Liang said when he was at home, don't tell them about the fact that they instructed Wang Cui'er to steal the paper: "No, you didn't sell it yourself, it's Wang Cui'er, we bought it from Wang Cui'er!" ”
"You just said it was us, and now you say it's not! Since you said that Wang Cui sold it to you, then go to Wang Cui'er, what did you do to find us? ”
"That's right, how can anyone buy meat from the owner and come west to ask for compensation!"
The fat aunt patted Shen Luzhu's arm: "Don't be afraid, the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, I think they can't make it up!" ”
Hu Shun talked about Wang Cui'er, but he reminded Huang Liang, and immediately shot back: "Yes, Wang Cui'er!" It was Wang Cui'er and her family who stole the paper, and her aunt said, you forced their Wang family to sell the paper to us! ”
Shen Luzhu snorted and laughed: "Hehe, it's really right to call the fat aunt, I don't think you can make it up!" One moment it was us, another time it was Wang Cuier, and now it is Wang Cui'er and her family that we persecuted! Then I said that you stole it and relied on others indiscriminately, and said that you forced others to steal it! Anyway, there's no evidence to talk nonsense, who wouldn't make up nonsense! ”
"It's the first time I've seen such a shameless person, tsk!"
Seeing that the people present were all in the opposite camp from the Chu family, the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, Huang Liang had to let outsiders know that it was his own family that bought Wang Cuier to steal paper, and only tried his best to prove that it was the Chu family who used Wang Cuier to trap themselves!
"Who said I have no proof! I have! ”
Huang Liang roared, and the crowd at the scene instantly quieted down, and the eldest aunts and aunts who had just helped the Chu family scold them with righteous indignation were silent again, you look at me, I look at you, and there is one meaning in their eyes: Could it be that they helped the wrong person?
Only the fat aunt is still firmly standing on the side of the little couple, the last time she burned paper, she has already eaten a lesson, between the Chu family and the Hu family, if she has to choose one, then her fat aunt must be standing in the Chu family!
"Listen to him! If you have the evidence, you should take it! Take it out and show it to everyone! ”
Huang Liang looked at Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi proudly, and said viciously: "You forced me!" Wang Cui'er and her aunt are the evidence, she can prove that it was you who forced Wang Cui'er and her family to sell us the gold and silver paper! ”
Shen Luzhu replied on the ground: "Okay, then ask Boss Huang to invite the witnesses you said, but it is not enough to invite Wang Cui'er and her mother, and you have to call Wang Cui'er too, after all, we are in the mountain village, but few people know Wang Cui'er and her mother, if you just find someone to fool us, who knows if it is true or false!" ”
Seeing that Shen Luzhu did not show the expected panic, Huang Liang suddenly had a bad premonition, the situation in front of him was just like just now, when Chu Yi suddenly admitted that the batch of papers was his home, he always felt that there was some trap in front of him, waiting for him to jump down!
But before Huang Liang could figure it out, Hu Shun responded quickly: "Just look for it, who is afraid of whom!" ”
Chu Yi stepped forward to hug his wife and said to Hu Shun: "You go by yourself, Boss Huang has to stay." ”
"Chu Yi is right, it's better for Boss Huang to stay here, in case you don't come back this time, where can we find someone to reason!"
After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he turned to the onlookers and said, "I have to trouble you folks to wait here for a while and give us a witness!" ”
This kind of thing is the first fat aunt to pat her chest and respond: "That's natural!" You can rest assured! ”
The more calm Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi became, the more panicked Huang Liang was at this time, but now it was difficult to ride a tiger, if they didn't call it but sat down, they were talking nonsense, so they could only let Hu Shun walk out of the crowd and run back to find Wang Cuier and her aunt.
After a while, Hu Shun walked into the crowd with the queen mother and the second brother of the Wang family, followed by Wang Cuier and Dong Shan, Wang Cuier saw so many people gathered in front of the Chu family, she was so frightened that she immediately stopped, I thought that this matter would pass so quietly, who would have thought that today I would actually be raised again, do I really have to admit to stealing the Chu family's things in front of the whole village?
Shen Luzhu saw Wang Cui'er and smiled at her: "It's been a long time since I saw Wang Cui'er!" ”
In fact, Shen Luzhu didn't want Wang Cui'er to suffer this kind of social death scene, but if she hadn't been called over today, I was afraid that all kinds of words about Wang Cui'er being a thief would spread all over the village.
Wang Cuier was still pale thinking about her own thoughts, and she didn't notice that Shen Luzhu was greeting her, but Dong Shan saw it, although she was a little suspicious in her heart, she still nodded with Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi, which was a response.
"Cousin, I got Wang Cui'er and her aunt and brother back for you, they can help us prove it!" Hu Shun ran to Huang Liang to ask for credit.
Huang Liang didn't want to look at Hu Shun more, but kept thinking in his heart, what did Shen Luzhu and Wang Cuier mean by greeting each other just now, could it be that they had discussed countermeasures in advance?
"Cousin, you're talking!"
Huang Liang's heart is becoming more and more bottomless at the moment, and for a while, he can't open his mouth as if he has been pinched.
"Boss Huang refuses to say, then it's up to me to be this bad guy!"
Shen Luzhu took over indifferently: "Wang Cui'er, let me ask you, is it your aunt over there?" ”
Wang Cuier glanced at her aunt and nodded: "It's my aunt." ”
"That's done, the aunt of the Wang family is looking for your family to come over today, there is something I want to ask you, this Huang boss of the Hu family shop in Wufang Village said that it was your family who stole our gold and silver paper, and said that I forced you to sell it to him, and said that you can testify, although it is said that it is the things in my workshop, but I don't know who this thief is!"
Hearing this, Wang Cuier and Dong Shan instantly raised their heads and looked at Shen Luzhu, how could they ......
Shen Luzhu ignored Wang Cuier and his wife opposite, and continued to say to the queen mother: "You just need to answer yes and no, if this is really you, then I really have to thank Boss Huang, thank you for helping us catch the thief, Boss Huang, when you go back to the county government to report to the official, I have to trouble you to help us make a testimony!" ”
