Some people didn't believe it and wanted to ask Mr. Xie in person. As a result, Mr. Xie was criticized by the whole village because of Lu Cuiping's affairs. He couldn't stand the stimulation and ran away from home.
Yes, a sixty-year-old man ran away from home, and the three Xie brothers could not find him.
Now there is no one at home for Xie Yumian to take charge of some pre-marriage related matters, so the two sisters-in-law are busy taking care of it.
Xie Guo and Xie Qiang were so angry that when the Jiang family came to give gifts that day, they beat Jiang Jinbao. The angry Jiang family rushed up to them and started beating them. Then, the two families who had just proposed to marry started beating Jiang Jinbao in front of their home. The scene was in full swing, and a group of people who had long been accustomed to watching the excitement were once again refreshed by the strange behavior of these two families.
Even if the poisoning fails, the two families can still get married. On the day of the engagement, the two families can still fight. After the fight, they can sit down and continue talking as if nothing happened.
No one would believe this kind of thing unless they saw it with their own eyes.
Xie Yumian was already numb. Sitting in the crowd, facing the scrutiny of the seven aunts and eight aunts of the Jiang family, she suppressed her nausea and clenched her hands into fists, trying her best to ignore Jiang Jinbao beside her. Her indifferent expression angered Jiang. A group of people at home.
But there was no way. Everyone except Liu Yan knew that this was a pie in the sky that fell on Jiang Jinbao's head. Otherwise, with his appearance, it would be extremely difficult for a woman to fall in love with him in this life.
Liu Yan promised Xie Yumian that she would give her the gold nugget on the wedding day.
The abacus in her mind was also ringing. Although the gold nugget was given to Xie Yumian, after getting married, Xie Yumian became a member of the Jiang family. Wasn't this equivalent to returning the gold nugget?
When the time comes, it's best to let Xie Yumian conceive the child directly, so that you can get the best of both worlds.
On the wedding day, the Jiang family set up several tables in the yard. Jiang Jinbao, who was covered in fat, couldn't even find suitable clothes to wear. He could only wear clothes borrowed from relatives, and the buttons almost burst. Xie Yumian, dressed in red, toasted table after table.
The fat folds on his face are about to overflow with a smile.
A person with a cold expression and dull eyes looked like a dead parent.
The two people toasted, but the relatives who came to have a drink couldn't drink at all, and the scene became quite deserted.
Xie Yumian held on and waited for the banquet to end to take the gold nugget directly. Jiang Jinbao listened to her in everything anyway. If he wanted to take the next step, yes, the gold nugget must be handed over to him.
As long as the gold nugget is obtained, Xie Yumian can arrange the next thing.
She wanted to drug Jiang Jinbao, run to the town while it was dark, sell the gold nuggets, get the money, and leave this place forever.
As long as the result is good, the process doesn't matter.
Xie Yumian has been comforting herself like this, eagerly waiting for the night to come.
While everyone was eating and drinking, suddenly the door was kicked open by several men with armbands. Everyone looked at a loss. The leading man rushed into the room, followed closely behind. Went in together and started rummaging through the boxes to look for it without any explanation.
Liu Yan was jumping and scolding from behind, and wanted to step forward to organize her, but the other party was a strong man who pushed her to the ground with a little push.
"After receiving a report that your furniture is hiding national public property, we received instructions from our superiors to come and check it out!"
The other men were still violently rummaging through everything above and below the kang, cupboards, and window sills. They were all experienced men. They soon found a piece of loose brick under the kang, wrapped in layers of red cloth. of gold nuggets.
When the gold nugget was found and displayed in public, Xie Yumian's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground on the spot, staring at the gold nugget, his whole body trembling and his eyes red.
Liu Yan cried and jumped up and down, calling God, saying that the gold nuggets were left behind by her ancestors, and that the other party was a bandit.
How could those people listen to her?
In this era, everything is publicly owned, even chickens and ducks can only be raised three or two, let alone such a large piece of gold.
"Wait until you get to the brigade and cry again. You are hiding public property privately, and you are unforgivable bad elements! You have serious capitalist tendencies in your thinking! You just admitted that you hid this thing, right?"
Liu Yan didn't dare to cry anymore when she knew it was someone from the brigade commune.
When he heard that he was going to be labeled as a bad element, he was so scared that his calves were trembling, and he pointed at Xie Yumian beside him without hesitation.
"It's her! She wanted to hide it! I'm wronged, I don't know anything, she picked up this gold in the first place!"
No matter who it was, as long as it was related to gold, they were all brought back to the brigade.
Jiang Lai nodded calmly after receiving the news.
"I see."
Xie Jian's expression was solemn. After losing his parents in just a few days, he was about to lose his sister. He said he didn't care, but he was still a little depressed in his heart.
"You think your sister is innocent?"
"I don't think so. It's just that as a brother, it sounds a little uncomfortable."
Jiang Lai nodded.
Of course she understood that those who were caught were not unrelated cats and dogs. After all, they were her sisters who had loved her for more than ten years. Even though she knew she deserved the crime, she would still feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't feel uncomfortable, the rest doesn't matter.
She knew what was going to happen next, and sure enough the next day, the same people who captured Xie Yumian and Liu Yan came again and took Jiang Lai away.
Xie Jian followed.
When the village secretary learned about it, he quickly followed up and asked about the situation. Seeing that he was the secretary, those people gave him face and their attitude became much gentler.
"The two of them insisted that Jiang Lai had picked up the gold, and that Jiang Lai secretly hid it under their bed without their knowledge."
The secretary felt outrageous upon hearing this.
"Whoever finds gold doesn't hide it in his own home and hide it in someone else's home?"
Those people shook their heads helplessly.
"According to the rules, we have to take her over and ask about the situation. If you have any questions, you can think about it now. The brigade secretary will handle this matter personally. The punishment will definitely be very strict."
The gold was weighed, and it was more than 700 grams. It was found that it was hidden by the landlord when he ransacked his house, and then it was picked up somehow.
You can get some rewards if you pick it up and hand it in, but hiding it is a big problem. Privately occupying public assets is a crime no less serious than Lu Cuiping poisoning someone's well.
When Jiang arrived, Liu Yan pointed at her nose and shouted excitedly when she saw her.
"That's her, Jiang Lai! My daughter! After picking up the gold, she was afraid that she would be found out if she kept it at home, so she hid it in my house!
It's all your fault! Damn Sangmenxing, you want to kill your mother, you want to kill your brother, your sister-in-law! "
Without giving Jiang Lai a chance to speak, Liu Yan couldn't wait to pin the blame on Jiang Lai, fearing that Jiang Lai would run away if he was late.
