Lin Xiaoman walked up to Sister-in-law Zhao, raised his chin at her, stared at her condescendingly, the mocking sneer on his lips made Sister-in-law Zhao's heart suddenly, and the words she said made her blush with anger, "You said that Xiangxing gave your son a handkerchief, then you take it out and take a look, if you don't take it out and look at it, how can it be proved that it is Xiangxing?" Maybe your son stole it from some girl, so he had to rely on Xiangxing's head. ”

"You say my son is a thief?" Sister-in-law Zhao's voice was raised, "Tiezhu, they all accused you of being a thief, and you still remember her reputation, don't you take out the veil?" ”

"I'm not a thief!" I don't know if Lin Xiaoman said it, Li Tiezhu's voice was full of emptiness.

Lin Xiaoman snorted coldly: "Since you are not a thief, then you take out the veil and tell when and where, why Xiangxing gave you the veil." ”

Li Tiezhu took out a handkerchief from his arms, held it in his hand, and unfolded it to the people outside the courtyard, "I said that my family is poor and has no money to give a dowry, Xiangxing said that she is in love with this person, I don't want my family's dowry, and I will bring a dowry, I am afraid that I will not believe it, so I will give this handkerchief to me as a token, and her name is embroidered on it." Oh, the apricot blossoms embroidered on it also have the name of fragrant apricot. ”

Li Tiezhu, who was holding a handkerchief, seemed to have no fear, and his eyes flashed with smugness when he looked at Lin Xiaoman.

The villagers also looked at the handkerchief in his hand, the stitches were messy, the embroidery was rough, and they could barely see that it was an apricot blossom.

And after Lin Xiaoman saw this veil, his heart was completely settled, and he also understood why the guilt in Lin Xiangxing's eyes was.

This is not good at all, isn't Lin Xiangxing's embroidery good? Obviously, when Lin Xiaoman first learned embroidery, he embroidered it for Lin Xiangxing, and the name embroidered below was not Xiangxing, but her Lin Xiaoman's word 'Xiaoman'.

Similarly, Lin Xiangxing also embroidered a five-grain Fengdeng handkerchief to Lin Xiaoman, and the word 'Xiangxing' embroidered with the name below.

With such a big word 'Xiaoman', is Li Tiezhu blind and can't see it?

Oh, too, he's a tenant who rents the owner's land to plant, where does he get the money to study? It's not surprising if you don't recognize it.

However, even if Xiangxing's head is kicked by a donkey again, she will not give her embroidered handkerchief to a man as a token of love, but if it can be stolen by Li Tiezhu, it should also be carried with her, which shows that Xiangxing values her friendship with herself.

Looking at Li Tiezhu, who was proudly showing the handkerchief to the villagers of Hedong Village, Lin Xiaoman's smile was full of mockery.

Sure enough, someone asked: "Xiangxing's embroidery is famous in our village, and she can earn a tael of silver by selling embroidery to the cloth village in a month, which she embroidered?" Why don't I believe it so much? ”

"But it's embroidered with red apricots, could it be that she embroidered it when she was a beginner?"

"Come on, didn't you see the name embroidered under the veil? It's obviously Xiaoman's name! A while ago, I heard Xiaoman's grandmother say everywhere that she couldn't embroider and couldn't make money for the family. ”

"Hey, Xiaoman, did you say that you embroidered this veil?"

"Yes! Didn't I open a shop in the city, running around the village and the county all day long, and I don't know when the veil was stolen. Xiangxing, it's all my fault that you were calculated by the bad guys, can you forgive me? ”

Lin Xiangxing didn't expect things to turn around so quickly, but she still shook her head, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped, "I don't blame you, they all say that they are thieves for a thousand days, how can there be a thief for a thousand days?" Who would have thought that some people would be so shameless! ”

"Yes, yes, you can't blame Xiangxing, it's all because the family is not right, and they want to ruin my granddaughter's reputation, and I have a big girl and a dowry for nothing, phew! Shameless! But Xiaoman, you are really not good at embroidery, and you will study hard with Xiangxing in the future. ”

"I see."

After Lin Xiaoman finished speaking, he covered his face with his hands, although he had whitewashed the reputation of Xiangxing and Li Tiezhu who had been taught and received privately, but in such a public execution, she still wanted to have face.

Everyone burst into laughter because of her embarrassed action, "Xiangxing and her milk, don't say it, Xiaoman is also a big girl, you want face!" ”

"Yes, don't look at us Xiaoman who can't embroider, but he can make money! is also a good cook like her mother, and whoever marries her in the future will be blessed. ”

Seeing that the topic was crooked again, Li Tiezhu and the three of them were also dumbfounded, Li Tiezhu took the handkerchief and looked at it again and again, but he knew a 'little', and thought that Xiangxing embroidered Xiaoxing or Xiaoxiang, and couldn't believe that the handkerchief he stole from Xiangxing was actually another girl's.

But whose two good girls send each other handkerchiefs?

Sister-in-law Zhao also regretted it, she refused to give the dowry, also because she was the nurse of the eldest son of Liujiazhuang, and ordinary people looked down on her. If Lin Xiangxing's embroidery is good, she can still take the embroidery work to help the family, but she looked at the handkerchief that Li Tiezhu got back, this kind of embroidery work, Lin Xiangxing wants to take it, and she is afraid of losing other people's materials.

Now I heard the villagers say that Lin Xiangxing can earn more than one or two silver for the family by doing embroidery work a month, which is more than two strong laborers.

I knew that she was a sweetheart, but she didn't want to give a dowry, and she would marry someone back gently, but now she really can't steal chickens and rice.

But apparently regretting it late, in the accusations of the villagers, it was confirmed that they had stolen the handkerchief, and whether what they said was true or not, it would be treated as splashing dirty water.

Seeing that Zhao's sister-in-law was pulling Li Tiezhu to leave, Lin Xiaoman said: "These people came to our village, ruined the reputation of our Lin family girls, and didn't let them suffer a little, and no one would dare to ride our village to in the future." ”

As soon as everyone heard that Lin Xiaoman was right, they rolled up their arms and sleeves and stepped forward to arrest the three of them.

Several strong men pressed Li Tiezhu to the ground and punched and kicked them, while the women grabbed Cheng's sister-in-law and Zhao's sister-in-law and scratched them, and the three of them kept begging for mercy, but none of the Lin clansmen were soft-hearted and helped them intercede.

Xiangxing only felt relieved when she looked at it, and when Lin Xiaoman came to her side and took her hand, Xiangxing threw a grateful look at Lin Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, if it weren't for you this time, I don't know if I can still live." ”

Lin Xiaoman shook his head at her soothingly, "What's the matter, I'll tell you about a strange woman I once met, who was worse than your experience, but people were not scared at all in the face of the scumbag, and beat the scumbag violently." By the way, you don't want to hit him a few times with your own hands? ”

Lin Xiangxing looked at Li Tiezhu, who was holding his head and kicking on the ground, gritted her teeth, wiped her tears, lifted her skirt and rushed up.

Shen Guihua also followed behind her daughter, compared to Lin Xiangxing's thin arms and legs, she had never done farm work, Shen Guihua's strength was much greater, and she kicked it more ruthlessly than those strong men in the village.

Outside the crowd shouted, "What are you doing here?" I haven't been back for two days, and I'm going to turn against the sky? ”

When Lin Xiaoman heard Lin Daqiang's voice, he had been staring at the city for the past few days, when did he return to the village?

When the Lin clan heard the patriarch's voice, they all retreated to the side, revealing Lin Daqiang outside and the group behind him.

Lin Xiaoman saw Lu Jin who stood out from the crowd at a glance, and the scholar Qingshu beside him.

Most of the people here have a hard time, and their body is generally thinner than the people over there, but the master and servant are rare tall people, especially Lu Jin, even if they are just ordinary clothes, they can show their extraordinary bearing.
