Zhuang Zhuang turned the book page after page, without reading a word, only remembering the family members who went out in a hurry.

The person he was worried about ran towards Zhang Lanhua's house in the cold wind.

"Zhang Lanhua, you rotten heart, get out!"

Li ran to the door of Zhang Lanhua's house and slammed the door.

Zhang Lanhua in the house did something bad and was empty-minded, and was startled by Li's knocking on the door.

Lu Hongwen didn't know why, he looked at Zhang Lanhua for the first time, frowned and said, "Did you do something again?" ”

"I, I. No, I don't have anything to do. Zhang Lanhua glared at Lu Hongwen with little confidence.

This look, this tone, Lu Hongwen, who has been married to her for decades, knows that he must be causing trouble again.

Lu Hongwen slapped the table angrily, glared at Zhang Lanhua a few times, and turned around and walked out of the room.

When he walked into the courtyard, his sons and daughters-in-law also came out.

"Dad, is my mother going to cause trouble again?"

Before the third son Lu Yun finished speaking, Lu Hongwen waved his hand, "Go open the door first." ”

"Be polite." The words fell, and another sentence was added.

"I know."

You're welcome!

People are people who have backers.

"Auntie, you're here. Hurry up in the house, please, it's warm in the house. Lu Yun opened the door with a bright smile on his face, and there was a little flattery.

Li glared at him fiercely, "Who wants to go to the house and sit in the house and let your mother come out." ”

Lu Yun's face paused, and he smiled again, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Tang Mian also running over here.

As soon as Lu Yun saw Tang Mian, he greeted him with a smile, "My brother and sister are also here." ”

When Li heard this, he turned around and saw Tang Mian running to his side.

"It's a cold day, why are you here?"

Tang Mian gasped twice and smiled, "Mother, I can't let you be alone in front, so naturally I have to follow me." Moreover, I have already asked my father to find the patriarch and the village chief. ”

Li nodded, showing a relieved smile.

Lu Yun and Lu Hongwen and the others who came over were all stunned, why were they still looking for the patriarch and the village chief?

Lu Hongwen's face turned red, what did that mother-in-law do?

"Sister-in-law, you should dissipate your anger first, I don't know what I did to make you so angry?"

Li Shi looked at Lu Hongwen coldly, and unfolded the note firmly, so that Lu Hongwen and the others could see it clearly, "Lu Hongwen, you are also a person who has read books for two days and knows some words, this note is buried under the old locust tree by your Zhang Lanhua, you take a good look!" ”

Lu Hongwen naturally knew the words written on the note, which said Lu Xun's wife Tang, and then the eight characters of his birthday. However, there is no specific time for the birth date.

Zhang Lanhua's mother-in-law, since she wrote Tang Mian's birthday, buried it under the old locust tree

Wrong

"Sister-in-law, Zhang Lanhua can't write!" Lu Hongwen said his doubts.

After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Lanhua can't write at all, so this matter has nothing to do with her.

"Uncle Hong Wen, Aunt Orchid can't write, it doesn't mean that she won't find someone else to help write." Regarding Lu Hongwen's question, Tang Mian lowered his face and refuted directly.

"However, I prefer Aunt Orchid to write it herself. After all, the words on the slip of paper look like beginner's handwriting. ”

Lu Hongwen and the others looked at the note again, the words on it had no pen edge at all, and the words of Dou Da were thick and thin, and some of the strokes were still glued together. Moreover, there is also a faint smell of blood.

It was written in blood.

Lu Hongwen hesitated a little, but still didn't admit it, "Zhang Lanhua really can't write, and she never asked me to teach her to write, maybe someone deliberately wrote like this, wanting to blame her." ”

buried the name and birthday written in blood under the old locust tree, making it clear that he was cursing Tang Mian to be unlucky, and wanted Tang Mian to live in peace.

This matter, looking at Zhang Lanhua's expression, it is really possible that she did it.

Li didn't buy his account, and said unceremoniously, "Zhang Lanhua buried the note, Lu Da saw it with her own eyes, and let her come out to confront her." ”

Tang Mian nodded, "If you want to come to Brother Lu Da later, I will come over later, let him confront Aunt Orchid, and have his own results." ”

If Lu Da didn't come with her, she would have asked for it.

Lu Hongwen's heart was broken, and he knew that he couldn't hide, so he turned his head to look at his eldest son and sighed: "Boss, call your mother out." ”

Boss Lu looked at Tang Mian and Li and nodded, turned around and went into the house to call his mother.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, Mianniang, my eldest has called, you wait a minute." Lu Hongwen said a little uncomfortably.

Tang Mian didn't speak, and Li snorted heavily, ignoring him.

After a while, Zhang Lanhua reluctantly walked out with her eldest son.

As soon as he saw Li, he opened his mouth and scolded, "Li Daju, you are sick, it is not pleasant to come to the door on a cold day." ”

Li was so angry that he couldn't speak because of Zhang Lanhua's upside down, Tang Mian held her hand when he saw this, took the note, stared at Zhang Lanhua coldly, and his voice was cold, "Aunt Orchid, Brother Lu saw with his own eyes that you buried this note under the old locust tree in the village, can you admit it?" ”

Zhang Lanhua's face was pale, and there was panic in her eyes. After a moment, he crossed his hands on his hips and said loudly in a pretended arrogance: "I didn't." ”

Tang Mian's eyes sharpened, and Zhang Lanhua took a step back with a weak heart.

Lu Hongwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Zhang Lanhua's appearance, she did it ninety percent of the time.

"Old woman, Mianniang." Lu Zheng's slightly gasping voice came into everyone's ears.

Li Shi and Tang Mian both turned around, not only Lu Zheng, but Lu Zhiqian also came over together.

"Auntie, brother and sister." Lu Zhiqian hurriedly ran to him, gasped for breath, and shouted as he looked at the two of them with a gentle face.

Li Shi nodded and looked at Lu Zheng worriedly, "Old man, you are a handful of old people, and you don't know how to run slower." ”

Lu Zheng also ran to Li's side, panting and waving his hand, "It's okay." I'm worried about you, after calling the patriarch, I came over with Zhiqian first, and the patriarch and the village chief were behind, and they would arrive in a while. ”

When Zhang Lanhua heard this, she was anxious, "Shut me down, don't you want to use the patriarch and the village chief to scare me, and don't use such a note to wronged me." ”

Lu Hongwen didn't want to see her at all.

Several sons and daughters-in-law have also come back to their senses. I'm afraid this matter is mostly related to my mother.

"Whether I wronged you or not, when the patriarch and the village chief arrive, they will judge." Tang Mian looked at Zhang Lanhua and spoke coldly, and then looked at Lu Zheng, "Dad, will Brother Lu come over?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded, "Yes." I told him to call the village chief, and he would come with him. ”

"That's good. In that case, let us wait until the patriarchs and their arrival. ”

Lu Zhiqian nodded slowly, "Just according to what my brother and sister said, when Lu arrives, I will explain this matter clearly." ”

Lu Hongwen sighed heavily in his heart, "Let's all go into the house, and don't stay at the door to blow the cold wind." ”

Lu Zhiqian nodded, "Uncle Zheng, auntie, let's go in." ”

Li glared at Zhang Lanhua fiercely, "Listen to Zhiqian." ”

Lu Hongwen smiled, "Brother Zheng, sister-in-law, please inside." The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, hurry up and bring a few bowls of hot tea. ”

"Huh!" The two daughters-in-law glanced at each other and hurriedly responded.

Li wanted to say who is rare in your tea, but thinking of Lu Zhiqian, he swallowed the words back.

Lu Hongwen's other sons and daughters-in-law looked at each other, and they could only follow. Today, I'm afraid I can't be good.

Zhang Lanhua was very panicked in her heart, she was obviously very careful, how could she be seen by Lu Dana's kid.

No, as long as she doesn't admit it, it's none of her business.

A group of people sat in the hall of Lu Hongwen's house, waiting for the arrival of the patriarch and the village chief.

In the hall, it is as quiet as a chicken.

Lu Hongwen's family didn't know what to say, Lu Zheng's family didn't want to tell them, and Lu Zhiqian, who wanted to ease the atmosphere but felt that the occasion was wrong, simply closed his mouth and drank tea in embarrassment.

I don't know how long it has been, and everyone except Zhang Lanhua breathed a sigh of relief when they finally looked forward to the person who should come.

"Grandpa." Lu Zhiqian took the lead in stepping forward to help the patriarch and shouted.

The rest of the people also greeted each other one by one.

The patriarch looked at them, nodded, and walked to the hall to sit down. He was carried by a few juniors with a sliding rod, but he was not tired at all.

"Things, I've heard Lu Da say it along the way." The patriarch sat down and spoke slowly.

Zhang Lanhua's heart jumped, and her body hid behind Lu Hongwen.

The village head, Lu Kangcheng, was angry, and his eyes were not kind to Zhang Lanhua.

The patriarch's sharp eyes looked at her, "Zhang, do you have any justification for what Lu Da said?" ”

Zhang Lanhua paused, and subconsciously retorted loudly, "I didn't, I haven't been out today." Did he say that if he saw it, he saw it, why? ”

"I obviously saw it, it was Aunt Orchid who buried the note under the old locust tree, and when she left, I went to dig it out as soon as possible." Lu Da heard that Zhang Lanhua didn't admit it, and immediately spoke in anger.

The patriarch glanced at the two of them, touched his beard, looked at Tang Mian and said, "Mianniang, the two of them have their own opinions, do you have any other evidence?" ”

Tang Mian raised his eyes to the patriarch and slowly spoke, "Patriarch, there are indeed few people who go out in this weather, but it doesn't mean that no one goes out. Come to think of it, in addition to Lu Dage, there are always one or two people who see Aunt Orchid walking around the village. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lanhua instantly sighed in her heart, there will really be no one else to see it, right?

Zhang Lanhua looked like a thief, and everyone saw it.

Lu Hongwen lowered her head and smiled bitterly, why did she still go to Mianniang's trouble!

This time, she viciously wanted to curse Mianniang.

The patriarch glanced at Zhang Lanhua, retracted his gaze and said to Lu Zhiqian: "Zhiqian, teach you to do this." ”

"Yes, Grandpa." Lu Zhiqian responded without hesitation.

"I'll go with him."

Tang Mian, Lu Da, and Lu Kangcheng said at the same time.

The patriarch smiled, "Okay, let's all go, it can save some time." ”

"No, no." Zhang Lanhua objected loudly, and found that it was inappropriate in the middle of speaking, and lost her voice.

Everyone looked at her, ignored her, and went out to run errands.

"Hey, you guys." Zhang Lanhua hurriedly wanted to grab Tang Mian and the others.

Her every move is to tell everyone that she did it.

It's hopelessly stupid.

The patriarch closed his eyes and didn't want to look at her.

If he hadn't wanted to exercise Zhiqian, he would have dragged her to the ancestral hall at this time.

"Hmph." Li snorted coldly, staring at Zhang Lanhua's eyes as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Zhang Lanhua moved her mouth and dodged.

She wanted to run, but it was a pity that so many people were staring.

There was silence, and no one in the hall spoke except for the whirring of the cold wind.

Just as Zhang Lanhua was becoming more and more uneasy, Tang Mian and the three came back with two witnesses.

Zhang Lanhua heard the voice at that time, and indeed avoided it from a distance.

But she forgot that there were footprints in the wet earth. People passing by looked along the footprints and found the sneaky Zhang Orchid.

"Aunt Orchid, I remember you said before that you didn't go out today." After Lu Zhiqian came back, the patriarch handed over the matter of questioning to him.

Zhang Lanhua hesitated, "I misremembered." ”

"Hmph, misremember. Zhang Lanhua, you said it so lightly. Li stared at her fiercely.

Lu Zhiqian smiled at the Li family comfortingly, then looked at Zhang Lanhua and asked, "Aunt Orchid, where did you go after you went out and what did you do?" ”

"Why should I tell you?" Zhang Lanhua looked arrogant.

Lu Zhiqian didn't lose his temper when he heard this, and asked again with a note in his hand: "Aunt Orchid, Lu Da said that he saw you bury this note with his own eyes, and your words were inconsistent, and there were witnesses who confirmed that you did walk near the old locust tree." Then, we have reason to believe that what Lu Da said is true. ”

"I don't, I don't, I don't know." Zhang Lanhua said hardly.

Lu Zhiqian smiled slowly, "Aunt Orchid, why did you hurt your fingers, and you don't want to bandage them." ”

Zhang Lanhua panicked, "I accidentally injured it before, so I don't need to bandage it." ”

"Oh, what did you get hurt?" Lu Zhiqian asked.

"I, I. I cook."

Without waiting for Zhang Lanhua to finish speaking, Lu Zhiqian asked again, "It turns out that Aunt Orchid is cooking." When was it done? What do you do? What did you get hurt on your fingers? ”

"I" Zhang Lanhua swallowed, "I do. Made porridge and cut it. Cut the vegetables."

Since she had a daughter-in-law, she has never touched on housework.

Lu Zhiqian asked a series of questions, and he didn't know how to answer them for a while.

"Enough!" Lu Hongwen closed his eyes fiercely and shouted loudly.

Zhang Lanhua, who was already flustered, was so frightened that her body trembled, "What are you yelling at?" ”

As soon as Lu Hongwen spoke, Zhang Lanhua's suppressed temper seemed to have found a breakthrough, and when she caught Lu Hongwen, she began to scold, "Lu Hongwen, the old lady was chased by a little cub and asked, since you don't dare to put a fart." ”

Lu Hongwen smiled bitterly, took a deep breath and looked up at Zhang Lanhua, "Say, who did you learn to write, why did you do this?" ”

"What. What writing, don't know what you're talking about? Zhang Lanhua's eyes dodged, and she didn't answer Lu Hongwen's question at all.

Tang Mian sneered, "Aunt Orchid, since you don't understand what Uncle Hong Wen is talking about, then let's continue to ask." You don't admit that you buried the note, and that's okay. But three of them saw that you were suspicious, and they had to clear your suspicions. ”

The words fell, and she took two steps forward to approach Zhang Lanhua, staring at her with sharp eyes, "Aunt Orchid, give you time for a cup of tea, if you can't prove your innocence, and you have Lu Da's testimony, then you are the culprit in this matter." ”

It's a cold day, Tang Mian doesn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore.

When the patriarch heard Tang Mian's words, he turned his head to look at her, then looked at his grandson and shook his head.

Sometimes, it is not good to be too mild, depending on his temper.

Ay! The eldest grandson still has to grind!

"I" Zhang Lanhua opened her mouth, not knowing how to make it up.

In the cold winter, I was so anxious that I was sweating.

A cup of tea, decent words didn't make up two sentences.

The patriarch waved his hand and said, "Inform the people in the clan to open the ancestral hall." ”

Zhang Lanhua's eyes widened instantly, "Patriarch." ”

Lu Hongwen turned his head, and his son and daughter-in-law didn't know what to say.

The village chief and Lu Da are responsible for informing the people in the clan.

The group left Lu Hongwen's house and walked towards the ancestral hall.

On the way, the patriarch privately asked Lu Zhiqian what to do, Lu Zhiqian thought about it and replied: "The clan must not be able to keep such a vicious person, and a letter of resignation is inevitable." In addition, the punishment in the clan rules "

Speaking of this, Lu Zhiqian paused, and the patriarch was speechless, waiting for him to continue.

"Ten boards, a warning among the clan."

"Gone?" The patriarch waited for a while, and didn't hear Lu Zhiqian's voice again, so he spoke.

Lu Zhiqian furrowed his eyebrows, "Grandpa, what else?" ”

The patriarch smiled slowly, "It is true that the clan cannot pay attention to the vicious people. So, let's erase her from the genealogy as well. ”

Lu Zhiqian paused, and looked at his grandfather in surprise.

"Zhiqian, sometimes you can't be too gentle." The patriarch spoke earnestly.

Especially Tang Mian's close relationship with the county order, the more she has to eliminate the anger in her heart.

"Fortunately, there is no detailed date of birth for Mianniang on the note, and Zhang's handwriting is poor, and the one that should come out between horizontal and vertical is not out, and it is a typo when calculated."

Otherwise, even if it is handled in this way, I am afraid that this matter will not be passed.

Tang Mian was also aware of this and did not question the patriarch's handling method.
