Li Chang was so angry that he slapped Wu Dahu on the head, "Okay, good, good, don't think that if you don't recognize it, I can't do anything about you." A few of you, tie up Wu Dahu and his daughter-in-law and lock them up in the ancestral hall, and send them to the official mansion tomorrow. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Dahu suddenly raised his head and glared at the chief in disbelief.

Aunt Dahu was also frightened, she originally wanted to be a quail, no matter how the lieutenant chief asked, she just wouldn't admit it, and the lieutenant couldn't do anything about them at that time.

But it's different when you send it to the government, the official won't ask in such a good voice, maybe he will hit the board first and go to half his life as soon as he comes up.

Li Chang sighed: "Everyone is from the same village, I don't want to make too much trouble, now the things you stole are still there, as long as you admit your mistake and promise not to do it again in the future, then I will turn a blind eye to tonight's affairs." ”

Lin Mingming, who followed the large army to catch the thief, immediately stopped: "Second grandfather, they stole things from the village, how can they just forget it?" They must be sent to the government and let the government beat them severely. ”

Wu Dahu slapped him and smashed their barrel, and he swore that he would make Wu Dahu pay.

Now that he finally got the opportunity, how could he agree to let Wu Dahu go so lightly?

Li Chang pretended not to hear Lin Mingming's words, and continued to ask Wu Dahu: "Dahu, you have to think clearly, whether to admit your mistake yourself, or send it to the government, you choose yourself." ”

Wu Dahu was silent.

He's a man, and if he admits to stealing, how can he be a man in the village in the future?

Aunt Dahu couldn't hold back at first, she cried lowly, and said while crying: "Captain, we were wrong, we shouldn't steal, we were also forced to have no choice, there is really no food at home, otherwise we wouldn't think of stealing." ”

"Yesterday everyone began to dig horseshoes up the mountain, and every family on the mountain yesterday shared some horseshoes home, and everyone ate horseshoe, but your family didn't have it, and you don't want to think about what the reason is?" The lieutenant said angrily, "That's because you didn't dig it yourself, and now that you see everyone eating horses' hooves, your eyes are red, aren't you?" So I thought of stealing? ”

Aunt Dahu cried: "This is all Lin Daniu's trouble, if Lin Daniu didn't have to take away 2,000 catties of horseshoe, then we would definitely go up the mountain to dig it." ”

"You're reasonable, aren't you? I said earlier, the Lin family should take away 2,000 catties of horseshoe, you just can't see others good, right? Liu, you don't have a good temperament, Dahu married a mother-in-law like you, no wonder Dahu is doing more and more outrageous things..... "The chief is about to be angry.

Listening to Aunt Dahu's words, she only felt that her face was hot, like a slap in the face.

She interrupted the lieutenant in annoyance: "Others say that you are fair, I don't think so, you are because Lin Daniu is the granddaughter of your clan, so you favor the Lin family everywhere, maybe half of the two thousand catties of horseshoes allocated to the Lin family belong to your family, you have a good calculation, and send the whole village to help your Lin family work..."

Li Chang jumped to his feet in anger, he pointed at Aunt Dahu and said with a trembling mouth: "It's really unreasonable that you have to make excuses everywhere when you do something wrong, forget it, since you are dissatisfied with me, the chief, then I don't care about your family's affairs in the future, but I put my words here, and you can't participate in all the activities in the village in the future, unless the two of you go door-to-door tomorrow morning to apologize to the villagers for tonight's incident." ”

After the lieutenant said these words sternly, he ordered a few men to move all the horse hooves stolen by Wu Dahu and Aunt Dahu back to the ancestral hall, and he flicked his sleeves and left.

A group of people hula-la-la out of the Wu family's courtyard.

Lin Mingming returned home indignantly and saw his eldest sister sitting in the yard chatting with the dragon and phoenix.

He angrily told the story of catching Wu Dahu and his wife and the lieutenant chief's disposition of Wu Dahu's son.

"Eldest sister, you say, why didn't the second grandfather send Wu Dahu directly to the official mansion, he stole so many horses' hooves in the village, the second grandfather just asked him to apologize and it was over, if we didn't find out tonight, then he would definitely steal more, maybe the ancestral hall was emptied." Lin Mingming angrily kept pulling out the grass roots at his feet, as if those grass roots were Wu Dahu.

Lin Qianqian smiled, not surprised by the chief's disposition.

If the person who stole things today is not from this village, it is very likely that the chief will be sent to the government, but it is the people from the village who steal things today, and the things are not lost, and the matter is not big.

However, this matter will definitely spread throughout the village tomorrow, but if Wu Dahu is a little ashamed, he will never be able to raise his head in this village.

Her purpose in arresting Wu Dahu was not to kill him, it was just a convenient matter.

She said to Lin Mingming: "Xiao Ming, you try to think about it from the position of the second grandfather, the second grandfather is the lieutenant chief, he must try to be fair in his work, Wu Dahu stole something tonight, but the stolen thing was not lost, and the matter was not serious enough to be sent to the government." ”

"What's more, everyone lives in the same village, if Wu Dahu is really sent to the government, I don't know if he will be sentenced to squatting in a cell, but if he enters the county government and wants to come out completely, it will definitely not work, everyone will not look up and look down, Wu Dahu will definitely have a grudge against the chief in the future, and he will often sabotage in the future, which will not be conducive to the governor's management of the village."

"As the lieutenant chief, he definitely hopes that the people in the village will live in harmony, if all the families in the village have grudges against each other, and quarrel over trivial things every day, then the whole village will have no cohesion, and everything will be tied, which is not conducive to the management of the lieutenant chief."

Lin Mingming was dumbfounded when he heard this.

The dragon and phoenix fetus also heard it in a fog on the side.

They felt that the eldest sister was becoming more and more fond of talking, but they couldn't understand what she was saying.

When the sisters and brothers were stunned, Aunt Lin shouted: "It's time to eat." ”

A few small ones, who had long forgotten to be stunned, pounced on them like hungry wolves.

The meal was ready and uneaten, and at this time Aunt Lin heated it again.

Lin Qianqian took Lin Mingming to send Sun to the family, and then went to follow Wu Dahu and arrest Wu Dahu, after such a delay, dinner has become a supper.

*

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning had just shone into Quxi Village, Lin Qianqian had already led a few younger brothers and sisters to pack the konjac tofu that needed to be sold and go to Dachun County.

Father Lin and Aunt Lin were not at ease, so they sent half the way.

It wasn't until they stood on the top of the hill and saw the dense houses in Dachun County from a distance that Father Lin and Aunt Lin reluctantly returned to the village.
