Chapter 8: A Chicken's Farce
"According to what you say, no one else can go to the back mountain, and if you go, you will go to your house to steal chickens."
"It's really a laughing person, just your family can't eat two taels of meat a year, the chicken is only a skeleton, the weasel is afraid of chatting teeth and dare not mouth, how unparticular they are to go around the back mountain to steal."
Zhou: "That's it, my uncle and my son are not stupid, if you really want to steal, you have to pick a fat one." ”
Zou Pozi listened to these heart-piercing words, and her face was flushed with anger: "What's wrong with my family's poverty, no matter how poor you are, you don't steal or rob, you can support a large family by yourself, unlike your family, who is begging for others to suck blood, Lin Laoshi has your family's relatives and really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes." ”
Lin Laoshi is the nickname given to Uncle Lin by the people in the village.
"You really have the face to say, you don't steal or rob, but you sell your daughter and granddaughter, and the tiger poison doesn't eat your children, you are not even as good as livestock."
"And my uncle is willing to help his relatives, that is because he values love and righteousness. What's the matter, are you still envious? Also, those people in your Zou family don't look at you with a straight eye, no wonder you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. ”
"You...... You lazy bloodsucker. ”
"You poor poisonous woman."
“……”
The movement was too loud, and it was just lunch time, and many villagers came out with bowls to watch the excitement.
Don't say it, the scolding is quite incisive, one is lazy and the other is poisonous.
The more the two scolded, the more energetic they became, and seeing that they were about to get started, Lin Baobao hurriedly went up and grabbed Feng.
"Bao'er, you go in first, this old thing dares to slander people, I don't tear her mouth and others return me Feng Jinhua is easy to bully."
"You come, you come, if I'm afraid today, I'll have your surname Feng." The words were tough, but Zou Pozi's heels were retreating, looking like she was about to run away at any time.
Feng Shi was so angry that he was hugged by Lin Baobao so that he didn't pounce: "Bao'er, don't pull me." ”
Lin Baobao: "Mother, don't be impulsive......"
You have to lose money when you hurt someone!
Mrs. Zou looked energetic: "Aren't you Feng Jinhua powerful?" I'm standing here waiting for you, why can't you come? ”
"You kind of come to me."
"Why do you want me to come over, you come here."
"It's noon, what's the noise?" An old shout rang out.
Lin Baobao turned his head to look, and saw Gu Shi with three old men coming this way.
At the forefront is the village chief, and the other two are the patriarchs of Dahe Village, surnamed Lin and Zou.
Lin Baobao breathed a sigh of relief, she wouldn't be able to stop her if she didn't come again.
This day, it was more tiring than her making ten sets of papers.
"Village chief, you have to call the shots for me." As soon as Mrs. Zou changed her previous arrogance, she sat on the ground and began to howl.
The reason why Mrs. Zou is so noisy is because she has never dealt with the Feng family, and because the Zou family is really poor.
Contrary to Feng's, Zou Pozi gave birth to three daughters in a row before she got a son, and her son was not angry, so she took advantage of the problem of gambling.
In order to repay his gambling debts, Mrs. Zou and his wife sold all the land in the family, and married the first two daughters to a widower, just to ask for more dowries.
Later, in order to change his parents, he asked the little girl to marry a fool.
But what's the point of betting on this? Not a few years ago, he also sold a granddaughter to be a child daughter-in-law.
In the end, the patriarch Zou couldn't stand it, so he threatened to exterminate their family to prevent her from selling the remaining two granddaughters.
"Okay, folks, because a chicken is like this, like words." Village Chief Lin had already heard the truth from Gu Shina, and glared at Mrs. Zou: "You saw Lin Wulang steal chickens from your house with your own eyes?" ”
Mrs. Zou choked: "No ......"
"What's the trouble without you? Just because Lin Goro went to the back mountain? Then don't you want to go after that? "This time it was the patriarch surnamed Zou who spoke.
Even the patriarch doesn't help herself, what else can Mrs. Zou say? I can't do it.
Lin Wulang's voice sounded behind him: "What are you doing around my door?" ”
Everyone turned around and saw the lotus leaf bag he was carrying in his hand at a glance.
You don't need to ask what the bread is, everyone can already smell the chicken.
Lin Baobao: You are an undercover agent sent by the enemy, right?
"Look, look, they didn't steal it." Mrs. Zou was confident now, and pointed at Lin Wulang and screamed: "I don't want to eat the chicken I worked so hard to raise, so I expect it to lay an egg every day, and if you say kill it, you will kill it......"
"Village chief, patriarch, if you don't give me this old woman to call the shots today, I will hang myself at the door of Lin's house with a rope......"
Lin Baobao ignored Mrs. Zou's shouting: "Fifth brother, what are you carrying in your hand?" ”
"Chicken legs~ No, it's pheasant legs, didn't I eat enough in the morning, thinking about trying my luck with Da Mao on the back mountain, I didn't expect that we really caught a pheasant. Look, we didn't eat any of our legs, so we kept them for you. ”
Lin Wulang held the lotus leaf bag in front of Lin Baobao like a treasure, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him wrongly, he reacted in hindsight: "This old woman won't be saying that I stole her chicken, right?" ”
Lin Baobao was moved and angry, he was finally not stupid to get home, but it would be easy to do if it was a pheasant.
"What pheasant, it's clearly my chicken." Zou Pozi shouted.
"Pheasants can fly, is it that easy to catch?" Some villagers expressed skepticism.
"Stealing chickens is a big or small matter, I'm afraid that if it gets out, our village's reputation will be even worse."
Lin Baobao followed the sound and looked, who was it who said this instead of the Wu family?
At first, everyone still had the attitude of watching the excitement, and when they heard that it would hinder the reputation of the village, they were all anxious.
You must know that because of the second room of the Lin family and the things done by Zou Pozi, the reputation of Dahe Village has always been the worst in the nearby ten miles and eight townships.
It is more difficult to marry in the village than in other villages.
No matter how bad it is...... Everyone didn't dare to think about it.
"Village chief, stealing chickens now, I don't know what to steal in the future, I must be severely punished."
"Yes, severe punishment."
"It's really not okay to drive the second room of the Lin family out of our village......"
Uncle Lin also came, and he was so anxious when he heard the words.
Village Chief Lin waved his hand to make everyone quiet: "Lin Wulang, you said that you roasted a pheasant, but someone testified for you?" ”
Da Mao stood up: "I can testify, that is pheasant." ”
Village Chief Lin raised his eyelids: "You are accomplices, what you said doesn't count." ”
Lin Wulang said trickfully: "Then she said that I stole her chicken, does she have evidence?" ”
"What evidence do I want, is this unclear? I lose the chicken, you eat the chicken, how can there be such a coincidence? ”
Lin Wulang spit out the grass in his mouth impatiently: "I said that I roasted pheasants and pheasants, as far as your family's skinny chicken with no two taels of meat and plague, I won't pick it up if it dies in front of me, for fear of poison." ”
"Can you talk nonsense?" Patriarch Lin glared at him.
are all in the same village, if Zou Pozi's chickens get the plague, can other people's families be fine?
"Alright." Village Chief Lin pointed to the lotus leaf bag in his hand: "Open it and we'll take a look." ”
But what can you see with two chicken legs?
As soon as Mrs. Zou saw the two pieces of roasted golden meat, she howled like a dead old man, and she was sure that this was her chicken.
Lin Wulang and Da Mao were not to be outdone, and shouted that they were pheasants.
Lin Baobao was almost laughed at by the two: "I have a way to prove whether the fifth brother is roasted as a pheasant or not." ”
