"Don't worry about them, let's search out the food and see what they say!"
The third child of the Luo family roared and strode forward.
Su Ruyi shouted: "The Luo family was robbed——"
As soon as she shouted, everyone in the family started shouting.
"The Luo family was robbed——"
"The Luo family beat someone——"
"The Luo family is going to kill someone——"
Luo family: "..."
The woman's voice was high-pitched and shrill, and it was both crying and howling. It made people upset and a little scared. Those who didn't see it and just listened to the sound probably thought it was real!
Old Luo, the head of the Luo family, shouted: "Don't shout nonsense!"
The Lu family didn't care. How could a few of their own women be worth the entire Luo family?
call! Bring everyone here!
Mrs. Luo also went crazy and said: "Search, search out our food!"
The Lu family yard was in chaos, and suddenly a majestic voice shouted: "What are you doing!"
The noise stopped, the pushing stopped.
Village Chief Hu was panting with a dark face. He felt pity for an old man who came all the way so early in the morning.
Behind him was the daughter-in-law of the Luo family. The Luo family was not completely ignorant. When they found out that there was less food, they sent a daughter-in-law to call the village chief, and the others crowded into the Lu family.
The only ones they could think of to steal their food were the Lu family, and the feud between the two families didn't last just a day or two.
The village chief came, and so did the surrounding villagers. It was time for breakfast in the morning. It was quiet in the early morning, and the calls of the Lu family could be heard clearly. A swarm of swarms came to watch the fun, some even carrying their rice bowls. Eat and watch at the same time.
"Village Chief, the Luo family wants to steal our food!"
"Village Chief, the Lu family stole my food!"
Both families were very excited, each pulling the village chief's arm.
"What's the fuss about? It's so early in the morning, you don't know how to be embarrassed!"
Village Chief Hu said angrily, withdrew his arms and said loudly, "What is going on? Tell me one by one!"
"They're grabbing food!"
"They steal food!"
Another scramble.
Su Ruyi said loudly: "Mom, please don't say anything for now. I'll listen to what the Luo family has to say!"
Mrs. Zhang and the others stopped talking, and Mrs. Luo spoke loudest, her words filled with indignation and her saliva flying.
"Our family has a total of forty-two bags of wheat. Several bags were missing early this morning! One bag weighs more than one hundred kilograms. Wouldn't this cost our Luo family's life?! Who else could have stolen it if it wasn't the Lu family? Village chief, you have the final say. No one in the village knows the virtues of Su Ruyi from the Lu family! She must have stolen it!"
Mrs. Zhang scolded: "You fart! Our Su Ruyi's virtues are none of your business! Sneaking and stealing is something only your Luo family can do! You damn old woman, you have the nerve to come to our house and talk about it!"
Liu Cuier: "Yes, there is no good person in your Luo family. Yesterday you framed our Lu family, and today you come here and say that we stole your family's food. What do you think?"
"Village chief, listen, listen! Didn't they admit it? Yesterday, I just praised the Lu family in front of the officials for being capable and making money. What happened? I didn't lie! They started to hold grudges. , came to my house last night and stole a few bags of food! They were the ones who stole it!"
The women from the two families went back and forth to explain the matter clearly, but they were about to come forward, pull their hair and tear their faces.
Su Ruyi didn't come forward and sneered in her heart. Yes, what the Luo family said in front of the officials yesterday may be the truth, but with what mentality they said it, everyone knew in their hearts, why bother to pretend to be innocent today!
Village Chief Hu shouted: "Okay, everyone, shut up!"
The women on both sides dug and scratched in place for a while, and then they all stared and waited for the village chief to speak.
Village Chief Hu looked at the two houses. They were both like fried roosters. No one looked guilty at all, and he couldn't tell in his heart.
A bag of wheat weighs more than 100 kilograms. How can a few women from the Lu family steal it from the Luo family quietly? Even if Su Ruyi was strong and could carry a bag of food, how come the entire Luo family didn't hear a single sound? Sleeping like that?
But things in this world are unpredictable, and it’s hard for him to say.
He frowned and thought for a moment.
"Have you counted the members of the Luo family clearly? Are they missing?"
"It's less! It's definitely less! How dare we be careless about food! The corner was full before going to bed last night, but it's gone early this morning!"
Village Chief Hu said: "I will go to your house first and then count them."
Everyone swarmed into the Luo family yard again, and soon returned to the outside of the Lu family yard.
The Luo family said they had 42 bags of food last night, but when they counted just now, there were only 39 bags, three bags missing.
Mrs. Zhang shouted: "What's wrong? It's none of our family's business if their family is short of food! It's not that our family is short of food! I think it's just that the Luo family has done a lot of evil. God will punish them!"
"It was your family that stole it! Your family stole it!"
Village Chief Hu raised his hand and asked everyone to calm down for the time being.
He looked at Su Ruyi - it was no secret in the Lu family that Su Ruyi was in charge now.
"Su Ruyi, the Luo family is really short of food. There are three big bags, which is nearly one tael of food! They are all from the same village. We can't just sit back and ignore it. We all need to help and give the Luo family that food. Find three bags of grain."
He said it euphemistically, and everyone understood what he meant, which was to search the house.
Moreover, the Luo family determined that it was the Lu family who did it!
Su Ruyi smiled: "Since the village chief has said so, there is nothing to do if they want to search us. But how can we do that if they all run around our house and search everywhere?"
Village Chief Hu looked at the large group of Luo family members and said, "If one of you comes out, I will accompany you to see it. Don't rummage around randomly, otherwise you won't be able to escape responsibility if someone loses something!"
"I come!"
Mrs. Luo stepped out in one step, and the other people in the Luo family had no objections. They had great trust in Mrs. Luo.
Mrs. Zhang snorted angrily and took a step away. She had nothing to be afraid of. The food at home was kept in the main room, no more and no less. There was no food anywhere else in the house. Besides, at home, Those who are not that capable can scale the wall in the middle of the night to carry food out, which is about the same as stealing a chicken.
Su Ruyi led Village Chief Hu and Mrs. Luo to look at each room from room to room. The more they looked at Mrs. Luo, the uglier her face became.
There is no place to hide anything in the Lu family's house. It is as simple as other houses in the village. It only has four walls, a bed or a kang. You can see everything under the bed at a glance, except for shoes.
There is no need to use your hands to turn it over.
The poor ten pockets in the main room were also counted.
Su Ruyi said: "Ms. Luo, you don't think these bags belong to your family, do you? The elder brothers who helped our family collect grain yesterday can all testify that there is not a single grain of wheat here named Luo!"
Mrs. Luo had a sullen face and said nothing, then turned around and walked out to Lu Duotian's house.
