How could Mrs. Wang tolerate others talking about Chu Ren like this? She rushed forward with a quick step: "Shen Luzhu! Stop criticizing Huaihuai. If you come to the house again and make trouble like this, I'm going to kill you." The fight has begun!"...
Chu Yi protected Shen Luzhu behind him and said to Wang, "As long as Auntie doesn't try to take advantage of us, A-Zhu and I will never come over!"
"Whoever has your idea is treating you like a piece of cake!"
At this time, Mrs. Li also stepped forward to help and said: "You are just unjustly accusing your elders without evidence. If word spreads about my cousin's behavior, it will not necessarily lead to what outsiders will say about the children and grandchildren of our Chu family. It's better to think twice before doing anything!"
Shen Luzhu laughed and replied: "Haha, even those who steal things don't mind if the news spreads outside. What are we afraid of! My cousins should not delay any more time, the villagers are all waiting here. , are my aunt and cousin-in-law going to do it or not? If they can't make something exactly like this paper money, it's okay to just admit that they stole my paper money and sell it. After all, we used to be a family. For the sake of grandpa and grandma, For the sake of face, Chu Yi and I don’t have to worry about it this time!”
Even the previous separation and the fact that his wife Wang might have stolen something made Chu Ren feel extremely embarrassed. When he walked in the village, he felt like everyone was watching his joke. When he saw Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi refused to give up, and Chu Ren suddenly became angry and embarrassed. He didn't care about the image of a gentleman and scholar he had created before, and smiled contemptuously at Shen Luzhu.
"I just realized today that my cousins are really eloquent. It's such a pity to be a woman in the countryside! But just being able to quibble is not enough. The scheming of my cousins is a bit too obvious!"
Shen Luzhu stopped Chu Yi who was about to speak for him and smiled nonchalantly: "Really? I think it's a pity that Kong has a smart mind but a bad character!"
"you!"
"Although my cousin has read books for so many years and is a famous scholar in our village! But he doesn't even have to speak awkwardly. It's too profound. We country women really can't understand it. Why don’t we just talk about it directly, do my cousin and aunt want to make these two kinds of paper money in front of everyone to prove their innocence?"
Of course Chu Ren couldn't let Li do the paper money today. Looking at her and his mother-in-law's looks, Chu Ren knew that they were guilty. If they really didn't do it in front of such people, or did it directly If you come out as someone different and get slapped in the face, you might as well just admit it from the beginning.
But for Chu Ren to admit this incident like this, he was really frustrated and unwilling. He felt that Chu Yi and his wife had worked so hard today. They probably didn't have any evidence and were relying on guesswork. Since If so, then he still has room for maneuver in this matter!
"How can I prove my innocence? My cousin played such a big game of chess with my younger siblings just to force my mother-in-law to confess to the crime of stealing things, so that our shop could be closed down. Shili nearby Your family will be the only ones left in the eight villages. Now that I think about it, no matter whether Mrs. Li and Aniang can make it or not, or how it will look like, they will be led by their brothers and sisters to say that they did it differently, so we still have to waste time. What can I do with this strength!"
Shen Luzhu ignored Chu Ren's strong words, but turned around and spread his hands towards the aunts and ladies who were watching: "It's getting more and more outrageous! I am really omnipotent to my cousin, like a god. His existence! One moment he can predict the movements of the aunts and his Chu Ren, the next moment he can control the aunt to make her spill the beans, and the next moment he can control the government and make random cases for the sake of the business of my shop. After arresting the Hu family, they are now even more powerful. The paper money they made has changed in the eyes of all the aunts and ladies. If I had known that I was so powerful, I should have built a temple in the village and let everyone worship me every day. That’s why you’re opening a paper money shop to earn such hard-earned money!”
All the onlookers laughed out loud when Shen Luzhu said: "I said that your little wife is really serious. You want to build a temple for yourself. Do you really think that you are a living god because you can do calculations?"
Shen Luzhu curled his lips and said helplessly: "Auntie, don't tell me, before I came here today, I didn't know that I was so powerful! But there is one thing I haven't figured out yet. Since my cousin told me If you have such great magical powers, then why don’t I just ask my aunt to recognize her? It’s like
Isn't it contradictory to say that you went to great lengths to set up a situation, cousin? "
"Ms. Shen, you..."
"Me? I shouldn't feel guilty because I got angry and threw water on my mother-in-law because she had to let us stop our shop and supply goods to your family. I even came here to apologize for it, and I shouldn't worry about her. , Grandpa and grandma knew that I was throwing water on her, which would make her lose face. In the end, all this turned out to be a trap set up by Chu Yi and me. If there is anything else that my cousin wants to falsely accuse us, please tell it as soon as possible. Come on, it’s impossible to make the paper money certificate for us on the spot anyway, so let’s talk about it quickly, and save the aunts from getting tired of listening to it one by one at a time!”
"Ms. Shen! Don't bully me too much!" Chu Ren's eyes widened and he stared at Shen Luzhu, as if he wanted to eat her alive!
Chu Yi stepped forward to block in front of his wife and replied coldly: "Cousin, you should say this to yourself!"
Shen Luzhu pulled Chu Yi's sleeve: "Forget it, Mr. Master, when the matter comes to this point, we all have a very clear idea of what is right and what is wrong, but there are some people here who will not admit their guilt even if they are beaten to death. ! Continuing to talk is nothing more than wrangling. If we have this time, we might as well go back to open our shop and take care of our little home. After all, these stolen things will be sold out one day, and then this lie will naturally be sold out. If we don’t attack, we will be defeated, so why should we fight for this moment of quick talk!”
"Listen to Azhu!"
After the young couple finished speaking, Shen Luzhu looked at Mrs. Wang on the other side: "My niece-in-law advises my aunt to be more careful when doing things in the future. If you are not careful, you may fall into the trap. Just like today, if we If I don’t come, it’s hard to believe that the paper money I lost at home will actually appear in my shop!”
Wang's little plan was exposed in public, and Chu Ren's fig leaf was torn away. The young couple's goals for today were all completed as planned, and naturally they would not stay at Chu's house for any longer. After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, the young couple ignored everyone's reactions, turned around and walked straight out of Uncle Chu's shop and headed home!
After returning from the yard of Uncle Chu's house, the young couple did not rush to reopen the paper money shop. Instead, they went to the Jiang family in Zhutun Village. What happened just now was just a foreshadowing. The main event was yet to come. When the time comes, the Wang family and Li family will definitely regret it!
When we returned to the Chu family's old house from the Jiang family's Zhutun Village, the sky had turned slightly dark. As soon as the young couple opened the door of their courtyard, Chu Ping and his mother-in-law next door leaned out half of the door of the courtyard next door on the left: "You're back? Don't go into the hospital. Come home quickly. We'll have dinner here! We were afraid that you would be too busy to miss the meal and not be able to come back. We just called your third uncle and the others over! Now we are almost there You two are ready to start dinner, why don’t you come in quickly!”
At the dinner table, Mrs. Qian naturally asked about the young couple's trip to the Chu family's new house. After listening to Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi's retelling, she was so angry that she could hardly eat the food: "These Chu Ren's books are really... He read it and went into the dog's belly! Fortunately, he is still a scholar, and he doesn't even understand this principle of life!"
"Don't be so angry, cousin, and be careful! Anyway, the effect we wanted has been achieved. It doesn't matter whether he admits it or not. Everyone is happy!"
Chu stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of meat for Qian, and then persuaded him: "Yes, Auntie! Just listen to my cousin, there is no need to ruin our health just for the sake of those people!"
Mr. Qian calmed down a lot and continued to eat while chatting with Shen Luzhu and others: "Okay, let's not talk about that bad person! Talk about something happy and good, Lu Zhu and Ayi You two don’t know, don’t you know? This afternoon, Aping finally caught that unscrupulous thing peeking into other people’s latrines!”
When Shen Luzhu heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Is it true? Chu Ping, you caught someone so quickly? But have I ever seen someone from our village?"
Chu Ping shook his head and began to talk about the whole process of catching the gangster this afternoon: "He really is not from our village!"
Today, Chu Ping and his friends continue to wander on all the small and large roads in the village. They look like a group of idle men wandering around the village talking loosely. In fact, they are really loose on the outside and tight on the inside. They are always paying attention. Those sneaky men on the road!
I noticed this person because he was in broad daylight between April and May, with the sun so bright.
When he had enough time, he actually wore a homemade dog-skin hat. The ears of the hat were drooped and almost covered most of his face. He even raised the collar of his coat, as if he was afraid of being seen by others. Similar.
Such sneaky behavior immediately attracted the attention of Chu Ping and others. However, Chu Ping did not go to arrest the person immediately. Instead, he continued to follow the suspicious man quietly while calling the few people who had seen him. Pass the gangster girls and ask them to stay far away and take a look quietly to confirm whether it is this person!
In the end, everyone followed the man to the path in the middle of the afternoon, and then caught the gangster at gunpoint in a house!
"That man was from a village two villages away from us. When we tied him back, as soon as we entered the village, someone asked him if he had done anything evil again! It turned out that he had been in their own village before , I was beaten by the villagers because I pestered other people’s little girls, but I still refused to change my ways. This time, I came to our village because I was afraid of being discovered!”
"Now Miss Yuan Shuang and the others can finally rest assured!"
Chu Ping nodded and said, "No, if you think about it, if I came out of the latrine one day and saw someone squatting on the wall staring at me, I would have been so scared that I would have sat on the ground, not to mention that I was still a few years old. Little girl!"
As Chu Ping was talking, Shen Luzhu felt Qian sitting opposite him raise his head and look at him, seeming to make a look, and then returned his gaze to the rice bowl in front of him.
After dinner, Mrs. Qian sent Chu Yi and others back as usual. When he reached the gate, he turned around and saw that Chu Ping was not following. Then he walked closer to Shen Luzhu and said, "Lu Zhu, please accompany me out tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, cousin!"
