Chapter 56: The house is about to burn down

Listening to the discussions around him, Chen Dayong's face turned blue and white.

He thought of the rumors in the village before, and in order to save face, he said loudly: "It has nothing to do with ginseng!" It's the girl that the Jiang family picked up that has a problem! This thunder must have been her ghost, she wants to kill my whole family! ”

Li Guangzheng arrived at Chen's house at this time, and said angrily: "Chen Dayong, what are you talking about? As a cadre of the production team, you actually took the lead in promoting superstition. ”

"Nephew, you have to help me make the decision in this matter, it's not that I want to promote superstition, it's true that the girl in the Jiang family has a problem."

"In public, don't call me nephew!" Li Guangzheng wrinkled his brows, "If you take the lead in spreading rumors and slandering other people's little dolls, I think you don't want to do it!" ”

After a while, Jiang Qingshan rushed to Chen's house with Xiao Lingbao in his arms.

His daughter-in-law and sons also came.

Da Dongzi strode forward and said loudly: "Uncle Da Yong, you haven't forgotten the previous bet, right?" Hurry up and return the ginseng to me! Then apologize to me! ”

Chen Dayong lied, "What kind of gambling contract?" I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

His words made Jiang Qingshan angry and scolded, "Chen Dayong, you are really a cheek raiser with a thousand-layer sole, and your skin is too thick, right?" If you just said it in the morning, you won't admit it now? Many people in the village can testify to this! ”

Uncle Chai walked out of the crowd, "I can testify, I was at the door of Jiang's house at the time, and I was a witness to this incident, I heard it clearly, they bet that if the Chen family was struck by lightning, it means that the ginseng belongs to the Jiang family." ”

Many echoed him, "I heard it too." ”

"Lei will split his house, which means that the ginseng was not dug by his son!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I can't imagine that there is really ginseng, no wonder the old people say that when digging ginseng, you have to tie a red rope, and you have to kneel three times and bow nine times, there are many rules."

Compared with the problem of Lingbao, everyone believes that there is ginseng essence in the world, after all, Lingbao is something that everyone can see, it looks cute and lovely, and it looks completely harmless, while ginseng essence can't be seen or touched, and it is more like a spirit that can rain thunder.

"Didn't you hear what Captain Li said just now? Say less superstition! Chen Dayong changed his words, "What's weird?" These are all superstitions, and it is pure coincidence that the thunder struck my house today. ”

Da Dongzi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "So you refuse to hand over the ginseng, right?" ”

"Unless you have proof that you dug this ginseng!"

After listening to Chen Dayong's words, everyone began to discuss again, "How can this be proven?" Gee, I think that's going to be a tough thing to do. ”

"Chen's kitchen has been burned, this Chen Dayong is counting on the ginseng to sell it for money now, how can he hand over the ginseng? I'm going to be a scoundrel. ”

"Captain Li, you are commenting," Shen Su'e asked Li Guangzheng for help, "This ginseng was obviously dug by my eldest son, he took his son to the door and snatched it, and now he refuses to return it, how can there be such a thing?" ”

Li Guangzheng was a little embarrassed, his uncle's character, he knew it well, he had to stir up three points if he was unreasonable, he was a nonsense and unreasonable person.

When there was a famine before, his mother asked his uncle for a few sweet potatoes and saved his life, so his uncle always kidnapped him with this matter, saying that if he hadn't given him a bite to eat at that time, he would have gone to see Lord Yama a long time ago.

In recent years, his uncle has become more and more excessive, and even his two cousins have become arrogant and domineering.

Li Guang wanted to remove Chen Dayong from his position several times, but his mother always said, "This scorekeeper is an important position, you have to find someone you can trust, other people in the village, who can you trust?" Maybe someone else will go up, and the work will be more messy than your uncle, your uncle is at least our relative, and he will give you face.

Actually, your uncle just loves to brag, and there is nothing wrong with it, so don't you remember the annual work book clearly?

You just listen to your mother, as long as your uncle doesn't make any unforgivable mistakes, you just turn a blind eye to his affairs. ”

After Li Guangzheng's father died of illness three years ago, his mother's health has not been very good, and in order to prevent his mother from being angry and ruining his body, he can only tolerate his uncle again and again.

Because of this, every time someone complained to him about his uncle, and he had to wipe his ass for what his uncle and his two cousins had done, he felt that he could be angry with his uncle's family.

"Uncle Li, it's really them who snatched the big brother's ginseng!" Lingbao pointed to Chen Jinbiao and Chen Shenghu not far away.

Li Guangzheng furrowed his brows and shouted at his two cousins: "You guys come over to me and explain clearly, what is going on?" Who is ginseng for? ”

"What else could it be?" In order to put out the fire, Chen Jinbiao was disgraced at this time, he wiped the ashes on his face and said loudly, "Of course I dug this ginseng!" It doesn't matter who asks! ”

Seeing that Chen Shenghu bowed his head and was silent, Li Guangzheng pulled him to his side, "Huzi, let me ask you, did your brother dig the ginseng, or did Dadongzi dig it?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Shenghu.

"Yes......" Chen Shenghu glanced up at his father, and when he saw him staring at him viciously, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Yes, it's my brother......"

Before he finished speaking, a "rumbling" thunder sounded in the sky, which frightened Chen Shenghu and screamed, "Ah, don't split me, don't split me......"

Not only him, but the others were also panicked at this time, and they couldn't help but look at the sky, and saw a thunderbolt cut through the night, and then fell from the sky, slashing directly into the middle house of the Chen family.

With a loud "bang", all the tiles on the house fell to the ground, and at the same time, a raging fire broke out in the house.

The scene was so spectacular that everyone present was dumbfounded, "Mother......"

"Save ...... Firefighting, firefighting! Chen Dayong shouted, "What are you doing all the time?" Hurry up and help me put out the fire, these houses are all connected, it's over, it's all going to burn down, oops! ”

No one present dared to move, "This is a thunder split by ginseng, I don't dare to put out the fire, let's not be accidentally chopped when the time comes." ”

Seeing that the house where he was sleeping was about to be burned, Chen Shenghu recovered from his fright, cried and said, "I just said that the person participated in the meeting and thundered and split people, you don't believe it, is it okay now?" ”

His eldest brother and sister-in-law were also scolding and crying at this time, but his mother was still calm, and said hurriedly: "Boss, you go and get the ginseng, quickly take out the ginseng and return it to the Jiang family's son, maybe you can stop the fire!" ”

Chen Dayong listened to his daughter-in-law's words, held a glimmer of hope, rushed into the hall, picked up the ginseng on the table, gasped and returned it to Dadongzi, "Here you go, I gave you back the ginseng, hurry up, you hurry up and let it put out the fire quickly." ”

"I don't know why this thing thunders, why do you let it put out fire?" Da Dongzi said helplessly, "I see, you better hurry up and fill the water......

In the firelight, a soft and glutinous voice said: "Uncle, maybe you apologize to my eldest brother, and the ginseng spirit will forgive you." ”
