"A pendant made of jade? Didn't the old Wang family realize that they are so rich?"
Everyone in the Chu family's hall was very curious for a while. In this village, let alone a jade pendant, even a pair of silver earrings were also rare items, not to mention that from what the Chu family's daughter-in-law meant, it seemed to be a family heirloom. , that couldn’t be more valuable!
Mrs. Wang, her mother-in-law and her siblings from her parents’ family are also here today. Mrs. Wang specially called her here. She went back to her parents’ house and told her that she wanted to go back to the shop, but her siblings from her parents’ family, who had always been at odds with her, didn’t believe it at all and even ignored her. He said that she was just wishful thinking. They were doing so well in business, so how could they ask Wang Xiuhua to scheme against her!
Mrs. Wang called the two people here just to ask her siblings to take a closer look at how she managed to get the shop here today!
Mrs. Wang and her sister-in-law, Ms. Kong, had a fierce personality and gave birth to four boys for the old Wang family. In the Wang family, whether they were with their own men or their parents-in-law, they were always on the same page. Now it seems that Mrs. Wang actually has a son. What jade pendant even I didn't know about, I immediately became angry. I turned sideways and asked my mother-in-law: "Auntie! We still have a jade pendant passed down from our family? How come I don't know about this?"
Mrs. Wang and her mother-in-law were also confused and subconsciously denied it: "How is that possible! How can we have that thing at home?"
Mrs. Kong obviously didn’t believe it. She looked at what the Chu family’s two young daughters-in-law said and said, “Everyone has brought them for their own daughters-in-law. What else do you have to hide, Auntie!” Shouldn't you, the Wang family, give me an explanation? Why don't you give such a valuable thing, a family heirloom, to your own daughter-in-law? Why did you even hide it from your own grandson and give it to your eldest sister-in-law's grandson-in-law? "
Madam Wang waved her hands repeatedly: "No, there really is no jade pendant!"
Kong didn't believe it, and continued to sarcastically say: "What's the matter, my father and mother saw that Chu Ren was a scholar, and wanted to curry favor with him? I'm afraid my grandson's hope is a bit far away. How about today?" Give me an explanation, this matter is not over yet!"
Mrs. Wang and her mother-in-law couldn't argue, and looked at Mrs. Wang for help: "Xiuhua! What the hell is going on with you! When did I give you a jade pendant? Why don't you tell your younger siblings? clear!"
Everyone saw that this matter was probably caused by a ghost, and they all listened to the gossip attentively. Mrs. Li listened to the whole process clearly, and she couldn't figure it out: "Auntie, didn't you say that the pendant was passed down to you by grandma? You gave it to me as a betrothal gift when I got married! In the summer, wasn’t it my mother-in-law? You said that my grandma’s family was going to be separated. My uncle told you to take the pendant back no matter what, so he took it from my hand again. Yes, what is the situation now?"
Chu Ren also didn't expect that the jade pendant that made his wife so resentful actually had hidden secrets, but he also guessed that Mrs. Shen must have known something and deliberately brought this matter out. He was not a person at the moment. It’s a good time to explain, to ask for the truth!
Chu Ren stepped forward, put his hand on Mrs. Li's shoulder, led her back, and then gave her a wink: "Grandma and aunt, please be patient. There must be some misunderstanding in this matter. It’s just that now is the time when the Chu family is discussing important matters, and the occasion is not right. When things are over here, I will figure out the cause and effect of this matter with my mother-in-law, and then give a satisfactory explanation to my aunt!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't care about that at this time. She only knew that she couldn't expose this matter by talking about it now. When she heard her eldest son coming to her rescue, she hurriedly stepped forward and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, my mother-in-law, and my younger siblings, this is I will make it clear to you later in private, so let’s not talk about it today!”
Naturally, Mrs. Wang and her mother-in-law didn't want everyone to watch the fun at her house. She nodded hurriedly, and when she was about to talk, she was interrupted by Shen Luzhu, who had been standing opposite to watch the show.
"This can't be done, don't say it, mother-in-law, everyone is here waiting to see the fun!"
"What does my mother's family's affairs have to do with you? You shameless bastard, stop gloating over others' misfortunes. If you do anything bad again, be careful, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Auntie!" Chu Ren wished he could shut up Wang's mouth. With such rhetoric and performance, there is no three hundred taels of silver here. Who can believe that everything is fine?
Shen Luzhu's face darkened, and he suddenly became serious: "It has nothing to do with me? Then I would like to invite everyone here to see whether I, Shen Luzhu, should have my mouth ripped out, or I, my aunt, should be sent to prison!" "
At this time, Mrs. Wang had basically determined that Shen Luzhu must have known the inside story. Although she didn't know how she knew it, she must not be allowed to tell her at the moment, so she rushed forward like a madman: "Shut up. Mouth, shut up!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Chu Yi pulled Shen Luzhu back to him. If Chu Ren hadn't blocked Wang, his wife would have been knocked down by Wang just now!
"Auntie! Can you calm down!" Chu Ren was so upset by Wang that his head almost exploded. Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, he hurriedly said to Mr. Chu: "Master, since the family members If we don’t have the same opinion, why don’t we forget it for now and wait until we have discussed it with my cousin? There must be some misunderstanding here, please elders, please go back first!”
"There's no misunderstanding, cousin, you don't have to be like this!"
Chu Yi interrupted Chu Ren's attempt, but even if Chu Ren and Mr. Chu wanted to invite everyone to go, they might not be willing to leave. After all, the excitement has not been finished yet!
"Chu Yi! It's just a little misunderstanding and friction at home. We are all one family, so why do you have to make it so?"
Chu Ren still looked sanctimonious, and Shen Luzhu was bored when he saw it: "Since my cousin thinks it's a misunderstanding, it's better to explain it clearly now, so as to save us from unjustly accusing my mother-in-law! In this case, then, then How about I ask my cousin sister-in-law to tell you what your pendant looks like?"
No matter how stupid Li was, she still knew that it was best for her not to speak at this time, as if she didn't hear him, lowering her head and hiding behind Chu Ren, refusing to make a sound.
"My cousin-in-law is so uncooperative. I think she has also decided in her heart that my uncle is guilty and should be thrown into the county jail. So what are we waiting for? Let's report it to the police now!"
Mrs. Wang suddenly turned around and glared at Ms. Li. Seeing Chu Ren looking at her, Ms. Li couldn't help but panic. She couldn't figure out what Chu Ren meant now. What should she do?
After stealing a few glances at the people whispering around her, Li closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and retorted: "I didn't!"
"That's what my cousin-in-law said!"
"Just tell me, that jade pendant is somewhat transparent, white on the outside, a little yellowish in the middle, and the outermost ring is inlaid with a thin silver thread!"
"That pendant is not made of jade at all, it is just a stone that has been in the river all year round and was washed away by the water!"
Li refused to believe that the thing she had always regarded as a treasure was actually a stone. She shook her head and denied, "How is that possible? It's obviously a jade pendant. You've only seen it once. How could you know whether it's jade or stone! "
"Because that is not an heirloom of the Wang family at all, it is a relic of my mother-in-law whom I have never met!"
"What!"
"The second daughter-in-law of the Chu family who had a difficult childbirth?"
"Then, then this Wang family stole the Cui family's relics!"
Chu Ren did not expect such a situation. He was so shocked that he let go of Wang's hands that were still holding him. Wang lost his restraint and rushed over instantly: "You are talking nonsense! When Cui died, Even Chu Yi is still a child, you don’t know where to go!”
Wang was stopped halfway by Chu Yi and couldn't touch Shen Luzhu at all. She could only turn around and ask for help from Grandma Chu: "Auntie, please help me! You know, Auntie, that's not Cui's business at all. relic!"
Grandma Chu glanced at Grandpa Chu who was staring at her, shrank her neck, and then looked at the people whose eyes were focused on her. She really couldn't figure out how Shen knew about this. He could bravely help Wang's lie: "That's right, Mrs. Shen, did you hear some gossip? How can there be any relics of the jade pendant in Mrs. Cui's house!"
"It's okay if grandma and auntie don't admit it. We can find someone to confront her! That time, auntie came back with a pendant on the pretext of helping to clean up the house. It was just like what my cousin-in-law said just now. We just started I was still a little confused, but then I remembered what the fortune teller said at the temple fair that day, and then I remembered everything. Later, I asked Mr. Yin Yang and the villagers to help me bury the things in the tomb again. , everyone present that day saw it, the village chief, the clan chief, we can all come over to confront each other, as well as the Cui family’s grandmother and uncle, they all know about this!"
The head of the Chu family was hesitating. After all, if this matter were to be true, it would be a scandal for the Chu family. With so many outsiders calling, it would not be a loss to the Chu family's face.
Others didn't have the same concerns as Chief Chu, and they were too busy to eat. When they heard this, they hurriedly urged him to find witnesses to confront him. Village Chief Wu couldn't suppress public opinion and had no choice but to do as he was told.
Soon someone found the people who helped that day, and Village Chief Wu asked very skillfully: "I heard that during the Qingming Festival, the young couple of the Chu family asked you to help them go to their parents' gravesites. Please recall what you did and tell us all about it."
The famous Mr. Yin and Yang in the village spoke first: "The old man remembered that he put the burial objects into the coffin for their grandma. That's right, he put something like a pendant and chain. That thing looks quite special. It looks like a poached egg.”
After hearing this, several other people seemed to have some impressions, and they all nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember it too, it looks quite special. I learned from my mother-in-law when I got back!"
After hearing this, Village Chief Wu's face suddenly dropped and he looked at Chief Chu. She could do such an unethical thing by stealing other people's relics!
The Chu clan chief looked down on such a thing, but after all, it was Mr. Chu who invited them here. He turned to look at Mr. Chu who was already livid over there: "Brother of the Chu family, this matter..."
How could Mrs. Wang be so willing to accept her fate? She was still denying it desperately: "They are lying! It must be Mrs. Shen who gave them money to let them say this and let them smear me!"
Those who were confronted were the first to become unhappy upon hearing this: "Who took the money? Don't make false accusations! We all met that day, and I don't even know who you are. I'm trying to slander you." very?"
Shen Luzhu was not afraid of Wang's denial and looked at Wang calmly: "Mother, do you believe that there must be God's will in this world? But still remember what the fortune teller we met on the way down the mountain said at the temple fair that day? ? He said that Auntie, you took something you shouldn’t have, and you have to pay a price. He said that you are surrounded by black energy and have bad luck. Only by returning the property to its original owner can the disaster be solved! Isn’t that what I mean? This is my mother-in-law who does not belong to Auntie. Mother's relic! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the front leg told the fortune, and the back leg mother-in-law tried every means to get the thing back? "
"No! I didn't!"
"How dare you swear! Just say that if there is a lie or concealment in this matter today, just like what the fortune teller said, black energy will linger, bad luck will come to you, and you will not get anything you want!"
"me……"
How dare Ms. Wang swear such a poisonous oath? Didn’t the old man with a goatee who told fortunes say that day that Chu Ren, his family, was most affected by this bad luck? Chu Ren will never pass the exam in her life, so what hope does she have?
"Why don't you dare!"
