The Luo family, who couldn't find the missing food in the Lu family, was completely panicked. They didn't know where their own food could go. They begged the village chief to take him to other houses in the village and searched their homes. Unexpectedly, all the people who were watching the excitement turned out to be... Be part of the excitement.
Everyone knew that they did not steal from the Luo family, but they were nervous. Unlike the Lu family, they did not have several people from other families to testify. If the Luo family insisted that it was their family who stole it, they would be hard-pressed to say it. Even if The Luo family can't take it back, so everyone is speculating in their minds because of this commotion. Who knows whether their reputation will be damaged?
Later, the Luo family really saw that one family had a lot of wheat, so they insisted that it was stolen by that family. That family was not easy to mess with, so they drove the Luo family out directly.
Village Chief Hu checked the grain harvest with others again. After excluding what was handed in, the rest was about the same. Three bags could be evenly divided to make more, but it was far-fetched. Besides, there was no evidence, so why should I say it was stolen?
The Luo family searched the village for a day without success, and ended up crying at home so loud that the whole village could hear it.
The Lu family was delayed for a while by the Luo family, but it was no big deal. The two sisters-in-law pushed the cart to the town to buy pancakes.
Zhang and Su Ruyi took their children to Changba to bring back the unused wheat straw.
This thing can be used as firewood in winter.
Lu Duotian also wanted to use it here, and told him to choose a thick and well-proportioned one, use scissors to cut off the middle section and put it away, and soak it in water before use.
In the evening, the crying from the Luo family didn't stop, which sounded very pitiful.
Mrs. Zhang looked over there several times, and when she saw that the children were not there, she moved closer to Su Ruyi and said in a lowered voice: "Ruyi, tell your mother the truth. Does the Luo family's matter have anything to do with you?" ?”
In fact, when the Luo family came to her door in the morning, she was unsure. She always felt that it had something to do with Su Ruyi, or what she was spending her money on asking for Li Zheng's name?
And looking at the whole village, there are really few people except Su Ruyi who can steal food in the middle of the night. Wasn't there a precedent of stealing chicken last time?
Because of this, she tried her best to hold back her curses in the morning, otherwise she would scold both the Luo family and the person who stole the food from the Luo family. After all, the person who stole the food brought trouble to her family.
Su Ruyi was arranging the cut wheat straw, expecting her elder brother to quickly make a basket for herself. The herbs in the space wooden house were arranged in a mess.
When her mother-in-law asked, she nodded and said yes.
Zhang's mouth suddenly opened wide, then quickly closed it: "Did you really do it?!"
"Um."
"How, how did you do that?!"
How could a bag of wheat weighing more than a hundred kilograms be carried out without making a sound?
She is so courageous. If someone wakes up in the middle of the night, even she, Su Ruyi, can't be beaten by them!
"I am strong."
"You - okay! What about the food? Where did you hide it?"
"Don't ask about this. The fewer people who know, the better."
Mrs. Zhang is a bit confused. Is this the truth? It seems so.
Su Ruyi said again: "Mom, you can tell the adults at home about this matter. Don't tell the children. Tell them not to mention it to the children. The children are young and I'm afraid they will learn from me."
Mrs. Zhang was angry and funny: "You still know that you can't tell your children about what you do?! Okay, I understand, I'm not a fool."
After a while, Mrs. Zhang was disturbed by the crying and resentful people next door, and she said again: "The Luo family should be cleaned up, but isn't three pockets too much?"
Su Ruyi said: Can the Luo family survive without these three pockets? "
Zhang thought for a while and said, "That's not the case. They have a good harvest this year and will never be hungry. It's just that there is less food to sell and less money to make."
"That's it, I didn't kill their family, and I didn't touch the foundation of their family. I just wanted to give them a hard time to remember, and learn what they should do and what they shouldn't do. Now. This is what they brought upon themselves, and they deserve it!"
It's good for farmers to save two taels a year. But now they have lost nearly one tael. Shouldn't they cry? Can it be so painful that you can't sleep for a few days?
Zhang is an honest person and thinks Su Ruyi is right, but she still thinks it's a bit too much...
"Actually, our family didn't lose much yesterday, just half a pocket. I want to teach them a lesson: they are from the same village. They can't see when they look up...it sounds pitiful."
Crying so hard.
"Mom, don't pity them. You just look at how much they have lost, and you don't think about how evil their family is. When our family was too poor to eat, didn't they steal our chickens? Who would have thought about our family's Life or death? If I were really cruel, how could I just steal three bags and give up? When you meet the Luo family in the future, you are not allowed to give them a good look."
Zhang thought for a while and then stopped talking.
At dinner time in the evening, the people next door were quiet for a while, and then suddenly started cursing.
Zhang used the same curse as before when the Lu family's chickens were stolen. He didn't mention his name, but he knew it was the Lu family he was scolding.
That was an unpleasant scolding.
At this time, the two sisters-in-law had already learned the whole story from their mother-in-law. When they heard the neighbor scolding them, they were a little unsure about what to do, so they both looked at Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi said: "If you scold them back, we can't let them think that we are afraid. Don't admit that we did it, and don't deny it."
When Zhang and Liu Cuier heard this, they realized that this was the most difficult scolding ever, and it was so tricky!
However, all these years of scolding are not in vain, the experience is sufficient.
The two started to curse at the top of their lungs, and they insisted on not losing to the people over there.
The two sides finally stopped after scolding until their mouths were dry and the porridge in the bowl was cold.
The two of them took the time to take a sip of rice soup to moisten their throats. Li Baozhu quickly brought them a large bowl of water.
Mrs. Zhang: "Ruyi, why didn't you say a word? You just asked us to scold you, what about you?"
Su Ruyi laughed awkwardly, how to explain this? She was not allowed to swear when she was a child. Now she can say some swear words, but she can't curse in the street! Can't get any momentum.
But Liu Cuier came to her rescue: "Mom, Ruyi is the head of the family now, so she can't say anything casually. You see, other heads of the family are like this too!"
When Zhang thought about it, it seemed to make sense. Could it be that she couldn't be a good family in the past because she was always ahead of everything?
Today's quarrel was not unpleasant at all. After all, it was because I had nothing to lose and the quarrel was always relaxed and comfortable.
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhang frowned again: "If we do this, their family won't take revenge in the future, right?"
When the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law heard this, they looked at Su Ruyi again. It was annoying to go back and forth over this nonsense.
"That is, if they are still not convinced, I will hurt them until they are convinced!"
Su Ruyi asked again: "What is going on with the Luo family? Why do they always have trouble with our Lu family?"
"Alas," Madam Zhang sighed helplessly, "This happened a long time ago. Your eldest and second brothers are both good hunters. The Luo family next door has always been jealous. One winter, they went up the mountain to catch two rabbits. The Luo family It was said that it was on their condom and was stolen by your eldest and second brother. After that, the two families were not at odds with each other. After thinking that they are all neighbors, we can't continue like this. Our family has always cooked meat and served it to them. I took one bowl and the result was—"
Su Ruyi responded: "In the end, they didn't appreciate it, and they got worse, right? From now on, no one in our family is allowed to give their family a good look. Some people don't deserve it."
