Shen Luzhu shook his head regretfully, as if he had tried his best, but the other party insisted on seeking death: "Hey, I originally thought that in the face of you being my relative, don't go too far. As long as If you can explain the man behind the scenes and make up for the losses, I won't make any noise or do things so desperately, but I have persuaded you. If you don't listen, then you can't do it to us! Chu Yi, help me get the stove hook for removing ashes from the kitchen, remember to make it hot so that Uncle Xie’s family will suffer less!”
Although Chu Yi didn't understand why his wife suddenly wanted the stove hook, he still turned around and entered the kitchen without expression. In order to heat the stove hook, he obediently lit a fire on the stove.
After hearing Shen Luzhu's specious words, Xie Daqiang also caught a glimpse of the movement in the Chu family's kitchen. Although he didn't know what the Chu family wanted to do to him, he was still panicking in his heart. He always felt that the mistress of this family had just There was something in his words. The longer Chu Yi stayed in the kitchen, the more panicked he became. When someone finally came out of the kitchen with a stove hook, Xie Daqiang's sweat had already wet his shirt!
Chu Yi did not hand the hot stove hook to his wife, but held it in his own hand and asked calmly: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Luzhu raised his chin towards Xie Daqiang: "Of course I'll burn his fingers!" After saying that, he looked like he couldn't bear to witness it, his whole face was wrinkled tightly together, and he pulled Yuan who was still in shock. Shuang turned his back!
As soon as these words came out, Xie Daqiang acted as if he had suddenly gone crazy. He rolled around and tried to escape towards the courtyard gate, but his body was tied tightly, and the other end of the rope was still holding Chu Ping's hand. No matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain!
"Let me go! Help! You are committing lynching and murdering people for money! Help!"
Chu Yi had just guessed that his wife was probably playing tricks on Xie Daqiang again, so without Shen Luzhu's instructions, he winked at Chu Ping and told him to hold him down and hold the hot stove hook. Then he walked over.
"Don't come over, don't come over!" Seeing Chu Yi getting closer and closer, Xie Daqiang was pinned down by Chu Ping and could not move even half an inch.
Seeing that the person had squatted down in front of him, he finally cried and admitted defeat: "I said! I said! I said everything!"
But who would have thought that Shen Luzhu not only didn't turn around to stop him, but also waved his hands with his back to this side: "How can it be done? We have to prove our innocence. Besides, what if we really wronged you, Uncle Xie! I I think it’s better to perm it, it’ll be quick, just bear with it and you’ll be fine!”
After hearing this, Yuan Shuang was a little afraid of causing trouble, so she quietly tugged on Shen Luzhu's sleeves a few times, and anxiously advised, "Sister-in-law, why don't we just forget it!"
Shen Luzhu patted the back of Yuan Shuang's hand to comfort him and said nothing.
Chu Yi behind him didn't hesitate at all. He held the stove hook tightly with one hand and moved forward to pull Xie Daqiang's hand with the other. Xie Daqiang was about the same age as Uncle Chu after all. Even if he was in good health, he couldn't stand up to Chu Yi and Chu Yi. Ping, two strong young men, soon found the hand held by Chu Yi getting closer and closer to the furnace hook!
Xie Daqiang closed his eyes tightly and cried, as if he could already feel the heat of the thing, but he didn't know that these were just his illusions. The thin iron stove hook had long lost the temperature it had just now, and had changed from the hot red It turned back to iron black! ..
"Killing! Killing! Help!"
Xie Daqiang's ghostly cries attracted Qian and his uncle from the yard next door. Qian lay on the wall and looked over: "Lu Zhu, what are you doing? It’s like killing a pig!”
When Xie Daqiang heard the outsider's voice, he stretched his neck and shouted over there: "Help! Help me!"
But Shen Luzhu, as if nothing was wrong, smiled brightly at Qian on the wall and said: "Nothing, Auntie, this person is Xie Daqiang who I mentioned to you before!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Qian cast a disdainful glance at the man who was sitting on the ground, turned around and said kindly to Shen Luzhu: "Then you should pay more attention, be careful not to hurt yourself, hurry up and finish your work." Get rid of this wicked guy, and my aunt will kill a chicken for you at noon!"
"Thank you, aunt!"
Xie Daqiang, who had been struggling for help just now, was shocked and froze in place. Even the sound of crying was muted. The ground under his butt instantly became wet. There was only one voice in his mind that kept telling him that this family is a pervert. , are all perverts!
Then, as if he suddenly woke up after falling asleep, he turned around and threw himself on the ground, struggling to crawl back: "No, don't kill me, wuwuwu... don't kill me!"
After teasing him enough, Shen Luzhu turned around and walked towards Xie Daqiang on the ground with a puzzled look on his face. Then he noticed the suspicious water stains on the ground and took two steps back with a look of disgust on his face: "Uncle Xie's family Did you misunderstand something, who is going to kill you? I just want to prove whether it was you who stole the paper money!"
Xie Daqiang continued to cry and howl: "How can you prove it like this! You are killing people, you are killing people!"
"Why did you kill someone? I was just... Oh! Blame me. I forgot to mention it. Did you see the mark that appeared on the paper money after it was roasted by fire? Don't you think it's strange what I did? Arrived?"
When Xie Daqiang saw the two people who were about to commit an attack, he stopped what he was doing because of Shen Luzhu's words. He knew that she was the most useful person to speak in this courtyard. In order to save his hands and life, he hurriedly spoke: "How, how, how did you do it?"
Shen Luzhu said seriously: "This is actually a potion that my grandfather accidentally developed. It is colorless and tasteless, but it has a very powerful use. It is not just the paper money just now, no matter what it is, as long as it touches After it arrives, bake it with fire or hot things, and the brown color will appear immediately. The positions of the marks on the paper money are specially planned by me. If you only make paper money honestly, even if it is contaminated, it will not There are too many, but if you pull them out from the inside, your whole hand will definitely turn brown. As long as you hold your hand on the hook of the stove, the answer will come out naturally after a while! Uncle Xie, please be patient. , it’ll be fine soon!”
Shen Luzhu's words were full of loopholes, but Xie Daqiang, who was now frightened and uneasy, could think about whether what the other party said was illogical. In addition, he had indeed seen the brown mark on the paper money just now, and all he could think about at the moment was The next scene shows me pulling paper money out, and the whole palm of my hand is burned!
"No, no! I won't prove it, I said, I said everything, I was wrong, I shouldn't have stolen your things! It's from your village! It was another seller of paper money in your village who found me, and I stole it I sold all my paper money to her!"
Shen Luzhu was not too surprised when he heard this. After all, no one in the area could go to such trouble to buy her copper coins and burn paper, except for the eldest uncle's family!
It turns out that Xie Daqiang earned money by making copper coins and burning paper, and then he became a prostitute in this village. Not only did his daughter and son look at each other, their relatives were becoming more and more demanding, and he and his son were even more indifferent. From time to time, they went out to eat and drink. The eldest uncle, the Wang family, had distant relatives who also lived in Hexi Village. One time when they were chatting, because the Xie family and the young couple had some connections and rumors, they took the initiative to mention it. .
Mrs. Wang didn't take it to heart at first, until the distant relative guessed: "You said that the Xie family and your nephew, niece and daughter-in-law are relatives. They suddenly became rich. Could it be that they have something to do with those two?" It's related, if this is really the case, I wouldn't be able to bear it if I were you. How can Mrs. Shen be so focused on subsidizing her natal family, even taking care of such relatives who are beyond the reach of eight poles, but she kisses men like their uncles? The whole family was pushed out!"
Mrs. Wang had known for a long time that the young couple had given the job of making paper money to Shen Luzhu's family, and later she heard that it had been given to her uncle, so she thought she had recognized the couple's elbows. His nature, but when he heard that even this kind of family who said he was a relative felt guilty was taken advantage of, but he was made the laughing stock of the whole village, he was still very angry in his heart!
But the family has been separated and the relationship has been severed. Now she can do nothing but get angry. Then an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
At this time, the couple's shop was closed, and the business at Uncle Chu's shop was a little better. Even if the remaining paper money was mixed with a lot of money cut with their own scissors, it was still almost at its bottom. In the past few days, Wang's I am worried about where to go to get another batch of copper coins to burn paper!
Those who used to make paper money for the young couple themselves
It’s hard to say, but now this family named Xie might be a bit troublesome!
"Where does the family named Xie you mentioned live in your Hexi Village?"
The distant relative looked at Mr. Wang strangely: "Why do you ask?"
Mrs. Wang pretended to say: "Not only did what you said arouse my thoughts, but I want to see what the Shen family is like! Why are you keeping their family a secret?"
"How can it not be possible? Let me tell you, in our village..."
As expected, Wang found the Xie family, that is, Xie Daqiang. He originally wanted to spend some money to get the Shen family's method of making copper coins and burning paper. Xie Daqiang didn't have any precautions at first, not to mention the other party gave him a hundred Wen Yinzi said that he wanted to find out how his family had made money, and his own family also wanted to make money, so he told the story about the mold. When Wang heard about it, he immediately changed his mind.
"That mold, one tael of silver, I'll buy it from you!"
Xie Daqiang was stunned when he heard this. One tael of silver is a lot, but he has been making copper coins and burning paper for so long, and he has earned much more than this. How could he be stupid enough to sell his own money tree: "One tael of silver, I think You haven’t woken up yet!”
The two of them argued back and forth for a long time in front of Xie's house. Although one knew that the mold was valuable, he was reluctant to pay for it, while the other wanted to make a fortune directly from this, but in the end they could not come up with an agreement. If everyone is satisfied with the price, they can only give up.
But after Wang returned, she thought no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so she ran to Xie's house two days later. She couldn't buy the molds, so she discussed the idea of buying copper coins from them to burn paper!
Confirming his thoughts, it was useless for the young couple to keep Xie Daqiang. Shen Luzhu took two steps forward and said: "Uncle Xie family, since you told the whole story of this matter as promised, I will let you go today. Go home..."
Xie Daqiang didn't expect the turnaround to happen so quickly, and he hurriedly thanked Shen Luzhu for not killing him: "Thank you! Thank you!"
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet. Uncle Xie has stolen so many copper coins from me and burned them with paper. We can't just let it go. We need to compensate for our losses!"
"That's right, that's right! I'll pay you back with the money when I get back, all of it!"
"Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you that my grandpa has a lot of these weird potions. It's just that our Shen family has always been low-key. It would be better for Uncle Xie not to go out and tell others about what happened today. , even my uncle and aunt can't do it. If I know that you went to find them, then I might not be happy and go to you again!"
Xie Daqiang shook his head like a rattle and promised again and again: "No, no, I will never go to them and tell them!"
