"What?"
"Did you hear what the boy from the Chu family said? He said that the paper that cannot be burned belongs to his family!"
"Did the Chu family really trick the Hu family on purpose?"
Chu Yi's faint words immediately caused a stir in the crowd, and people who were joining in the fun began to talk about it!
Huang Liang stared at the calm man in front of him in stunned silence. He really couldn't understand how he could tell this matter so lightly!
As soon as Hu Shun heard what Chu Yi said, he took advantage of Huang Liang's stunned moment and broke away. He still pressed his hand and shouted: "Your family is finally willing to admit it, right? You are the one who deliberately tried to harm us. You must give us a reward today." To put it another way, why don’t you pay for it soon!”
"The paper does belong to me, but I didn't sell it to you. The paper was stolen in the workshop. Now you say the paper is with you. I think it's you who should give an explanation!"
As soon as Chu Yi finished speaking, Shen Luzhu took a step forward again and explained to the onlookers: "Originally, we didn't plan to tell the villagers about this. After all, they all live in the same place. It’s not a good thing, but this guy from the Hu family is really bullying others!”
The words of the young couple aroused great interest in the fat aunt and others, and they couldn't wait to urge: "What's going on? Wife of the Chu family, tell us quickly!"
"Fellow folks, you don't know. More than half a month ago, our workshop was stolen one night. What was stolen was none other than the gold and silver paper used to make paper ingots!
However, the batch of paper at that time was a defective product that we failed to make. Although the color and appearance looked the same, we didn’t know why it couldn’t be burned. Later, we bought too much paper and couldn’t fit it in our yard, so we threw it away. Feeling it was a pity, he temporarily moved it to the workshop. "
The fat aunt nodded after hearing this: "That's a pity. It's a waste if you throw it away, and then what? It was stolen?"
"Isn't that right, fat aunt, not even two days after we moved here, they were all stolen! Although there were more than forty dozen in total, but later I thought they were defective products, so just throw them away!"
"Hey, wife of the Chu family, this aunt has to say something to you. How can you just throw away so many things? Young people like you can't be so careless if you know how to make money again!"
"Yeah, more than forty pieces of paper, how can you get more money!"
The young daughter-in-law next to her couldn't stand the aunties around her, so she always interrupted and tried to persuade her: "Hey, my dear aunts, can we let the Chu family finish what they have to say before we discuss it?"
The fat aunt smiled sheepishly: "Yes, yes, wife of the Chu family, keep talking and leave us alone!"
Shen Luzhu smiled at the fat aunt: "What the aunts asked is exactly what I want to say. It's not that I don't feel sorry for those lost papers, but you just think, if you look into it carefully, you won't be able to find it in the end. For people in our own workshops, we think why should we doubt each other and hurt the harmony just because of this little thing!"
Many onlookers nodded, feeling that what Shen Luzhu said made sense.
"But who would have thought that the Hu family would actually come to their door today, saying that we deceived their family and sold them paper that could not be burned, and they had to ask us to pay them two hundred taels of silver. It was simply a wicked person who complained first. , you ask us for losses, and I also want to ask you, why is the paper that was thrown away from my house at your place? Maybe you stole it, and then come over and shout to catch the thief!"
As Shen Luzhu spoke, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had been greatly wronged. The aunts around him couldn't help but want to come forward to comfort him.
"Yes, the Hu family has gone too far! No one bullies our backing village, right?"
"You still don't stop stealing people's things, and you actually dare to come to your door and extort money! I'm so shameless!"
"I used to sell those torn burning paper to everyone, and now I steal things and extort money. How come there are scum like you in Wufang Village!"
The fat aunt still feels angry when she thinks of those tattered burning papers. They are simply a shame to her fat aunt's wise life: "I think the beating they took last time was not enough! They are not long-remembered!"
Hu Shun was stunned by the sudden turn of events in front of him. Shouldn't everyone follow them and accuse the Chu family of cheating money? Why are you scolding them now?
"Fuck you, did any of you see that I stole it?"
"Why is the paper with you if you didn't steal it?"
"That's right, it wasn't stolen. Could it be that the paper ran over on its own?"
"I spent a lot of money to buy it!" Huang Liang glared and choked with the surrounding villagers.
Hu Shun also helped: "We obviously bought it! It was the Chu family who deceived people!"
"What you fellow villagers said makes sense. I also want to ask Boss Huang, why did you make the forty dozen pieces of paper that I lost into paper ingots and sell them? Now you are rake them up, saying that we cheated you, evidence What? You said we tricked you with the paper. Who saw it? Are there any witnesses? Although not everyone in the village knew that the paper was lost in our house, the lock was broken and something was lost, but everyone in the workshop saw it. of!"
Hu Shun was confused by Shen Luzhu's interrogation. He forgot what Huang Liang said when he was at home, not to tell anyone about their instructions to Wang Cui'er to steal the paper: "No, you didn't sell it yourself, it was Wang Cui'er, we bought it from Wang Cui'er. of! "
"You said it was us just now, but now you say it's not! Since you said it was Wang Cui who sold it to you, then just go find Wang Cuier. Why are you looking for us?"
"That's right. How can anyone buy meat from his employer and come west to demand compensation?"
The fat aunt patted Shen Luzhu on the arm: "Don't be afraid, wife of the Chu family, I think they can't make it up anymore!"
When Hu Shun mentioned Wang Cuier, he reminded Huang Liang and immediately retorted: "Yes, Wang Cuier! It was Wang Cuier and his family who stole the paper. Her mother-in-law said that it was you who forced the Wang family to sell the paper to us! "
Shen Luzhu burst out laughing: "Haha, you are right to call Fat Auntie, I think you can't make it up anymore! Now you say it's us, now you say it's Wang Cuier, and now you say we forced you to Wang Cuier and her family! Then I said that you stole it and blamed it on others, and even said that you forced others to steal it! Anyway, there is no evidence to say it, who would not make up lies!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a shameless person, tsk tsk tsk!"
Seeing that everyone present was deceived by the Chu family into opposing camps, the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for him. Huang Liang had no choice but to let outsiders know that he had bribed Wang Cuier to steal the paper, so he tried his best to He wants to prove that the Chu family used Wang Cuier to trick him!
"Who says I don't have evidence! I do!"
Huang Liang roared, and the crowd at the scene suddenly fell silent. The aunts and aunts who had just been indignantly helping the Chu family scolded them all fell silent again. You looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked like the same person. Meaning: Did they help the wrong person?
Only the fat aunt still stood unswervingly on the side of the young couple. She had already learned a lesson about burning paper last time. If she had to choose one between the Chu family and the Hu family, then her fat aunt would definitely be the one. Standing in the Chu family!
"Listen to his nonsense! If you have evidence, take it! Show it to everyone!"
Huang Liang looked at Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi with pride and said fiercely: "You forced me! Wang Cuier and her mother-in-law are the evidence. She can prove that it was you who forced Wang Cuier and his family to sell the gold and silver paper to us. of! "
Old God Shen Luzhu replied: "Okay, then please ask Boss Huang to invite the witness you mentioned. But it's not enough to just invite Wang Cuier and her mother-in-law. Wang Cuier must also be called. After all, we rely on Not many people in the mountain village know Wang Cuier and her mother-in-law. If you just find someone to fool us, who knows whether it is true or not!"
Seeing that Shen Luzhu did not show the expected panic, Huang Liang suddenly had a bad premonition. The situation in front of him was just like when Chu Yi suddenly admitted that the batch of paper belonged to him. He always felt that something was ahead of him. The trap is waiting for you to jump down!
But before Huang Liang could figure it out, Hu Shun responded quickly: "Just look for me, no one is afraid of whom!"
Chu Yi stepped forward and hugged his wife, and said to Hu Shun: "You go by yourself, Boss Huang has to stay."
"Chu Yi is right. It's better for Boss Huang to stay here. If you leave and never come back, where can we find someone to reason with you!"
After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he turned around and said to the crowd of onlookers: "I have to trouble you fellow villagers to wait here a little longer to bear witness to us!"
The fat aunt was the first to agree to this kind of thing, patting her chest and saying, "That's natural! Don't worry about that!"
The calmer Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi acted, the more panicked Huang Liang felt at this moment. But now he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. If he didn't scream, he would be convinced that they were talking nonsense and extorting money. He could only let Hu Shun walk out of the crowd and run back to find him. Wang Cuier, her mother-in-law.
After a while, Hu Shun led the Queen Mother and the second brother of the Wang family into the crowd, followed by Wang Cui'er and Dong Shan. When Wang Cui'er saw so many people gathered in front of the Chu family's door, she was so frightened that she immediately stopped. She thought that this was the case. The matter would pass so quietly. Who would have thought that this matter would be brought up again today? Do you really have to admit that you stole something from the Chu family in front of the whole village later?
Shen Luzhu met Wang Cuier and smiled slightly at her: "Long time no see Wang Cuier!"
In fact, Shen Luzhu didn't want Wang Cuier to suffer such a social death situation, but if he didn't call her over today, I'm afraid that the speculation that Wang Cuier was a thief would spread throughout the village.
Wang Cuier was still thinking about her own thoughts with a pale face, and didn't even notice that Shen Luzhu was greeting her. Dong Shan saw it. Although he was a little suspicious, he still nodded to Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi as a response. .
"Cousin, I found Wang Cuier and her mother-in-law and brother for you. They can help us prove it!" Hu Shun ran up to Huang Liang to claim credit.
Huang Liang didn't want to look at Hu Shun, he just kept thinking in his heart, what did Shen Luzhu and Wang Cuier mean by greeting each other just now? Could it be that they had discussed the countermeasures in advance?
"Cousin, you are talking!"
Huang Liang felt more and more unsure at this moment. For a moment, it was as if someone had pinched his mouth and he couldn't open his mouth.
"Boss Huang refuses to tell me, so let me be the bad guy!"
Shen Luzhu took the conversation nonchalantly: "Wang Cuier, let me ask you, is that your mother-in-law over there?"
Wang Cuier glanced at her grandma and nodded: "It's my grandma."
"That's it. Aunt Wang came to your family today because she wants to ask you something. Boss Huang from the Hu's Shop in Wufang Village said that your family stole the gold and silver paper from our family, and then He said that I forced you to sell it to him, and you can testify that although what was lost was something from my workshop, I don’t know who the thief is!"
When Wang Cuier and Dong Shan heard this, they immediately raised their heads and looked at Shen Luzhu, why...
Shen Luzhu ignored Wang Cuier and his wife opposite, and continued to say to the Queen Mother: "You only need to answer yes or no. If it is really you, then I really have to thank Boss Huang for helping us catch him." When the time comes for the thief, Boss Huang, to go back to the county government and report it to the county government, we will have to trouble you to prove it for us!"
