The day after the young couple returned from Hexi Village, the uncle of the Zhang family came to the Chu family's old house again as promised. Together with Chu Yi, he piled the yellow paper that had been prepared on the trolley that he pushed. , while talking to the young couple.
"After you left yesterday, your aunt and I thought about it for a long time. The more we thought about it, the more we felt that Xie Daqiang was weird. First, not long after the Ghost Festival, he suddenly came home and called me. When he came to pick up the yellow burning paper, he took more back. At that time, I just thought he wanted to earn more money, so I agreed without asking any more questions! Later, he said that there was too much work and he was a little tired. I panicked and wanted to save up a few days to send it back to me. I thought you were not in a hurry to ask for it right now, so I agreed. Now that I think about it, he must have been playing tricks on me at that time! Now that I think about it, this matter is all It's your aunt and I's fault, I shouldn't have listened to your aunt in the first place, pity Xie Daqiang, otherwise he would have caused such a big loss to you!"
Shen Luzhu was afraid that his uncle would be too guilty and self-blame, so he hurriedly expressed comfort: "Uncle, please don't think so much. This matter is just our speculation at the moment. Besides, even if he really did it, this matter will not happen." It has nothing to do with uncle and aunt!"
"How could it be okay? If we hadn't assigned this job to him privately, how could this disaster have happened!"
After Chu Yima put down the last pile of yellow burning paper, he also persuaded: "My uncle took this job just to help us. No one thought about this. How can I blame you and my aunt!"
Although the young couple repeatedly said that he and Mr. Xie were not to blame, and that this matter had nothing to do with them, the uncle of the Zhang family still blamed himself. Seeing that the yellow paper had been packed, he thought about getting it back quickly so that he could be arrested earlier. Xie Daqiang stayed there and solved the matter: "When I catch that guy, I have to give you an explanation for this matter. You haven't told me yet, what are you going to do with the yellow paper after you take it back?"
"Uncle, just divide some of these yellow burning papers and give them to the other side as usual. But for the copper coin burning paper, uncle, please remember to separate our own from theirs!"
Soon, the uncle of the Zhang family left the Chu family with a trolley. The young couple secretly calculated in their hearts that they didn't take much yellow paper this time. They thought they would finish it soon. They wanted to come here in less than two days. Things will come to an end.
Who would have thought that things would go much smoother than they thought. In the middle of the afternoon of the second day, the uncle of the Zhang family pushed his cart to the Chu family again. This time, all the yellow paper on the cart was made. Copper coins burn paper.
"That guy Xie Daqiang, I don't know how anxious he is, he actually thought that I took back too little this time, so he sent all the paper money to my house this noon, but I haven't finished the part in my hand yet. Okay, I’m a little late now, the two piles inside are made by the Xie family, and the ones outside are made by your aunt and I!"
Shen Luzhu stepped forward and took out a knife from each of the two pieces of paper money and compared them carefully. Then he took the two knifes to burn the paper and entered the kitchen with Chu Yi. After a while, he came out and said, "Sure enough, it's this The Xie family has done some tricks. If my guess is correct, they are doing it so quickly because they want to ask uncle to bring back some more yellow burning paper today!"
The uncle of the Zhang family nodded and replied: "Yes, yes, he did say that he asked me to get more yellow paper when I go back today. He said that there was too little and it was not enough for him to cook for two days!" Zhu, you just said you were sure that it was Xie Daqiang’s fault? How did you find out?"
Shen Luzhu squeezed the two pieces of burning paper in his hand, and then turned his side to Zhang's uncle: "I guess he stole the paper money and sold it, so he was anxious to take back more and make more! Uncle, look, if you look at these two pieces of paper money, you can clearly see that one is thinner than the other!"
The uncle of the Zhang family came forward and took a closer look, then pointed to the knife in Shen Luzhu's right hand: "It is true, this knife should be thinner!"
"This knife was taken from the two piles made by Xie's family, and my uncle didn't know it. We specially marked the yellow paper this time. All the corners of the paper were clicked by us. The first If you click on one card, you will click two dots on the second one, and so on. Uncle, you can look through these two pieces of paper money and see that in the knife you and your aunt made, from the first to the last piece, Each one has one more dot than the previous one, which means that this knife has no missing parts, but the other knife has many broken places!"
The uncle of the Zhang family reached out and took the two knives to burn the paper. He turned over them one by one. Sure enough, he found brown dot-like marks in the corners. He was a little shocked: "This! How did you do this? I made it At that time, I obviously didn’t see the dots above!”
The young couple looked at each other, and Shen Luzhu picked up a knife to burn paper again and said, "Uncle, come with me!"
Several people came to the Chu family's kitchen together. At this time, a fire was burning in the stove. Chu Yi casually took out a piece of burning paper and handed it to his wife. Shen Luzhu picked up a chopstick and dipped it in some vinegar on the stove, and then put it on the stove. He started writing on the burnt paper, but as the water vapor evaporated, the words written by Shen Luzhu and stained with vinegar on the burnt paper soon disappeared.
After that, Shen Luzhu handed the burning paper back to Chu Yi. Chu Yi put the burning paper farther away from the flame and moved it left and right to bake. After a while, the vinegar traces that had disappeared on the burning paper appeared again. , turned brown!
"This! This is amazing!"
"It's just that the areas stained with vinegar are more likely to be burned!"
The uncle of the Zhang family took the piece of paper money and studied it for a long time. Then he remembered what happened to the Xie family: "Now, can we catch that scum named Xie!"
"Of course we can, but we still need uncle to cooperate with us!"
"Whatever this is, Luzhu, you just say it!"
Several people discussed the countermeasures at Chu's house, and Uncle Zhang's uncle returned to his home in Hexi Village that day, waiting for Xie Daqiang to come to his door! ..
As expected by the young couple, Xie Daqiang came to the door of the Zhang family the next day: "Sister! Didn't we agree yesterday that you would bring back some more yellow burning paper? Why didn't you take it? Isn't it the other end? Did you let me take it, or what happened?"
The uncle of the Zhang family pretended to be helpless and angry: "Oh! The people over there have found out about the work we assigned you, and now they won't do it for me. They say they want to do it all for you! What a shame!" You can go get the burning paper yourself!"
Xie Daqiang didn't quite believe it: "What are you talking about, brother? What do you mean I won't do it for you? You asked me to do it all! Why is this?"
"Why? It's not all up to you. Yesterday, I was a bit too anxious to do the things I did. As a result, people saw that I was doing things differently. You did a better job, and now they are I asked you to take over all the work! I’m really free, so I shouldn’t give you this job. Look, now I’ve ruined all my own money!”
When Xie Daqiang saw Uncle Zhang's state and words, he finally believed most of them. At the same time, he was secretly happy. Is this going to turn around and make a lot of money?
"Brother, how can you blame me for this? Bosses naturally want people with good skills to do it for them. When we are both at the same time, you can't do it as well as me. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
My eldest aunt Xie originally stayed aside with no intention of speaking. After all, she knew that her old man was here to set a trap for her natal brother. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, so naturally it was hard for her to interrupt, but now after listening to Xie Daqiang This sentence suddenly made me angry!
Because of this incident, the old couple had been blaming themselves and feeling uncomfortable for the past two days, but it turned out that the culprit was lucky: "It's not all because of you, but you still have the nerve to talk about your sister!"
When Xie Daqiang saw Mrs. You have to blame the boss. Isn't he my sister's nephew and son-in-law? How come my uncle doesn't give me this face? Brother, you better tell me quickly. You are not going to get the yellow burning paper now, but don't delay me. Earn money, where is that shop? Can I just go there myself?"
"Yinzi, Yinzi, I think you are obsessed with money! Wait! I will take you there after I pack it up!"
