Nie Qianqian showed no weakness, "I agree."
Liu Lizheng did not expect that the two parties had reached an agreement on this matter and actually wanted to report it to the official.
My God, although he is an upright person, he doesn't have many opportunities to meet the county magistrate. If he bothers the county magistrate with this trivial matter, I wonder if it will cause dissatisfaction among the adults.
At this time, more and more villagers were gathering to watch the excitement, and they had already surrounded the old house. They stretched their necks to try to hear clearly what the two parties were talking about, and they were all talking in various directions.
"Really go report it to the official? Who is telling the truth?"
"I think it's Mrs. Nie. Why can you give me money when you go to the town to treat someone? It's a big pie falling from the sky."
"Do you believe what Mrs. Nie said? Everyone in the village doesn't know that she is an old and cunning woman, and there is no truth in her mouth."
"Old Mrs. Nie loves to lie, but if you believe that you can rescue someone and earn a couple of dollars by taking a walk around the town, then why don't I farm this year, so I just go for a walk in the town."
"That's right, Nie Qianqian probably really stole the money this time."
"This girl Qianqian usually doesn't say a few words when meeting people. I didn't expect that she will be a powerful character when trouble comes."
"What a powerful character. She was forced to do it. What kind of life did she and Liu Yan live? She wasn't even given lipstick, sugar or water to drink after she was injured, so she stole money and ran away."
"Mrs. Nie only dotes on her eldest grandson."
"Who says it's not the case? Ever since that kid from Wenye was admitted as a scholar, her tail has been raised to the sky."
"Tsk, tsk, who told my grandson to be promising?"
Mrs. Nie listened to the comments from her neighbors. These ignorant talkative women were just jealous that she had a great grandson who could read. When the grandson became an official one day, they would all have to kneel to see her.
But what made her feel more comfortable was that they all really believed that Nie Qianqian had stolen the family's money. If she hadn't dug out the hidden belongings and counted them over and over again to confirm that the amount was correct, she would have suspected Nie Qianqian. Stole her money.
Liu Yan's face turned even paler as she listened to the villagers' discussion, and she whispered: "No, Qianqian didn't steal the money. She told me personally before that she got the money from saving people."
A short woman clicked her tongue and said, "Yan, my sister didn't blame you. This girl must have stolen the money without telling you. Do you believe what she said?"
The short woman's name was Wang Dajuan, and she married into a family whose surname was also Wang. She was a famous long-tongued woman in the village, and everyone in the village called her Dazuijuan.
Liu Yan's voice was louder this time, "I believe it, I believe it, how could I not believe it? She wouldn't lie to me!"
Nie Qianqian felt warm in her heart after hearing this. The only people who can trust you unconditionally are your family.
Nie Qianqian: "Mom, there is no need to explain to them. When we go to court tomorrow, adults will naturally decide the case."
Wang Dajuan curled her lips and said, "How did you say that? Isn't it because you won't shed tears even if you don't see the coffin?"
Old Mrs. Nie trembled, turned to the onlookers, wiped her tears, "Everyone has seen it, it was Nie Qianqian who scratched Er Zhuang's back with a knife just now. My old lady is so lucky to have such a wolf-hearted granddaughter. , treat your elders like this, my son, he works hard in rain or shine just for this family, everything is for this child Qianqian, but this child is a white-eyed wolf!"
The villagers came later than Nie Qianqian and did not see the conflict between the two groups in front. Now they heard Mrs. Nie say, and the situation suddenly exploded, "Young girl Qianqian dare to fight against Er Zhuang?"
"You're so crazy, you still dare to use the knife?"
"No matter how you say it, your father raised you, how can you fight against your own father?"
"Yan, I need to tell you, how do you teach your children?"
When Nie Erzhuang heard that the villagers were all on his side, he straightened his back straighter and scolded Liu Yan fiercely: "Listen to what the big guy said, what kind of children are you teaching, but you are teaching me Shame on you, this girl should have been drowned when she was born!"
Liu Yan opened her mouth to retort, but she couldn't help but shed tears.
Nie Qianqian took Liu Yan's hand, squeezed it hard to give her strength, and said sadly to everyone: "Grandma said, my father worked hard through thick and thin, but he didn't use all the money he earned from working. He provided for Nie Wenye to study, but how had he ever used it on our mother and daughter? When my life was hanging by a thread, I didn’t even have a bowl of brown sugar water. How could he call it all for me? In his heart, my daughter has been a mistake since she was born. My mother lived the lowest life in this family, and Nie Erzhuang always beat and scolded me, but he never considered my mother and me as relatives."
"Don't tell others to be kind if you don't know they are suffering. Dear uncles and aunts, if I hadn't had to do it as a last resort, why would I have risked my life to move out of Nie's house? Who doesn't want a warm home, a loving father and a filial son? If you are not kind, you don't have to be filial. I, Nie Qianqian, have no education and only accept dead principles: whoever treats me well, I will be kind to, and whoever is unkind to me, I will be unjust to whom."
Nie Qianqian's voice had a hint of crying, not hoarse, but full of tears.
Don't tell others to be kind if you don't know their suffering.
The villagers who were watching were not very educated, but they understood the general meaning of this sentence. They were carefully savoring the meaning of this sentence, and the more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they became.
Yes, there is no family without difficulties. Every family has unspeakable suffering that cannot be explained to outsiders. No matter how much suffering is swallowed in the stomach, outsiders cannot understand and still judge.
Prime Minister Wang Dajuan pushed her, "You bitch, don't get involved in other people's affairs. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. You have finished your own work, and you come here again to talk."
Wang Dajuan came here to watch the fun and gossip, but after listening to Nie Qianqian's words and thinking about her family's past, she couldn't help but hurt herself. Looking at Liu Yan, how could she not know that she was a poor person, so she didn't say a word .
"No, Dazuijuan, you are the only one who can reason."
"Say it as if you didn't say it just now."
"No more talk, no more talk, tomorrow Mr. Qingtian will judge the case."
Gu Xiao looked deeply at Nie Qianqian. Nie Qianqian said that she was uneducated, but her words were full of wisdom and guided everyone, so that everyone could not help but take their place and reverse the direction of the trend.
He remembered that when he was at Tiande Academy, Yu Fengyang and Wang Zhiwen ran away after Nie Qianqian scolded them.
This lady of hers is really full of truth now, and she doesn't suffer at all from her words.
Nie Qianqian looked sad on her face and sneered in her heart.
She, Nie Qianqian, had lived for thirty years in her previous life. She had a strong balance in her heart. She knew what was right and what was wrong. She would not be swayed by someone's words. No one could stand on the so-called moral high ground and accuse her. .
She can incite the masses and can act, so good, she, Nie Qianqian, will act with them.
Liu Lizheng stroked his beard and interrupted everyone's discussion. Household matters were difficult to resolve, and there would be no clear results if the discussion continued until dark. He looked at Mrs. Nie and Nie Erzhuang and confirmed again, "You really Are you going to report to the official?"
With so many villagers watching, Mrs. Nie and Nie Qianqian were in an imminent situation and had no choice but to make a move, and they all nodded again to confirm.
Seeing that things had come to this, Liu Lizheng could only go with the flow and said, "It's getting late today. We can't go to the town to disturb the county magistrate tonight. Let's meet at the entrance of the village at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning and let's go to the town together."
After that, he made arrangements to leave with the Nie family and the villagers watching the fun.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and while walking home, they discussed whether Nie Qianqian had stolen the money.
Old Mrs. Nie felt unwilling to take away the food all over the floor. She rolled her eyelids and gave Nie Qianqian a hard look.
After everyone left, the old house returned to its former purity. Nie Qianqian's family of four silently cleaned up the mess on the ground and moved back into the house.
Liu Yan was extremely anxious and walked around the room. Nie Qianqian was afraid that she would be too worried, so she added a bottle of sleeping pills to her water and asked her to rest first. She has endured too much today. Leave it to her next.
Tuan Tuan has been huddled next to her, pulling her trouser legs and following her every step of the way. After covering Liu Yan with the quilt, Nie Qianqian hugged Tuan Tuan and asked softly, "Are Tuan Tuan scared today?"
Tuantuan nodded, then shook his head, "Tuantuan was afraid, but after mother came back, Tuantuan was not afraid anymore."
In his eyes, his mother is an extremely powerful being, and he feels at ease when his mother is around.
Nie Qianqian: "Tuan Tuan, please remember that this world is not all good people. There are bad people and evil people. Faced with their bullying, blindly giving in will not solve the problem. It will only make them worse. You must continue to strengthen yourself in order to protect yourself. do you know?"
Tuantuan nodded heavily, clenched his little fists tightly, and planted a small seed in his heart. He wanted to become stronger, stronger, stronger, become the strongest person in the world, protect his mother, protect his father, and protect his grandmother. .
Gu Xiao listened to Nie Qianqian's words of education to Tuantuan, and his movements of packing things were stagnant: Tuantuan is only three years old, is it too early to say this, but when he thinks about this world, things are difficult and people are unpredictable, maybe Qianqian is right, let him It's good to know this early.
Liu Yan took Tuan Tuan back to the bedroom to put them to sleep, leaving Nie Qianqian and Gu Xiao alone in the main room.
Nie Qianqian thought of the stick that Gu Xiao had blocked for her, and her heart warmed, and she broke the silence, "Well, thank you for today."
When Gu Xiao heard this thank you, there was a ripple in his heart, and he felt that the wound was no longer so painful.
Without thinking much, Gu Xiao replied warmly: "There is no need to say thank you between you and me."
After Gu Xiao said this, he felt that this sentence seemed a bit intimate. Although they were "husband and wife" before, they were clearly different. Today's words are an initiative to break the invisible and intangible barrier between the two.
Nie Qianqian turned her head and looked at Gu Xiao, and Gu Xiao also looked at her. Their eyes met and their eyes met.
Gu Xiao took the lead to withdraw from sight, and Nie Qianqian coughed slightly, "You should go to bed early, we have to go to town tomorrow."
Gu Xiao nodded and said seriously: "Qianqian, I'll go to the county office tomorrow. There is no conclusive evidence from both parties regarding the silver. The county magistrate may not be able to resolve the case, and it may end up being a muddled account. But if you want to ask the Nie family quickly, go to The county government has always used it as a way to stir things up, and I will do my best to get a divorce for my mother."
In the village, the father-in-law said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. Although Li Zheng could control the situation, it was mostly a mess, and he didn't know when he would be able to make a clean break with the Nie family.
Qianqian understood in her heart, "The reason for going to the county office is not for these few taels of money. The main thing is to reconcile my mother and Nie Erzhuang as soon as possible."
Gu Xiao nodded, and the two of them said nothing more and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.
Before leaving, Nie Qianqian took out the trauma medicine developed by her family from the space, put it on the table, and warned, "The stick was very heavy. I bought this ointment in town as a spare. The store said it can treat falls." It’s very effective for treating injuries, so remember to apply it before going to bed at night.”
Gu Xiao watched Nie Qianqian enter the back room before looking back, picking up the ointment and looking at it for a long time before returning to his room.
In Lao Nie's house, no one was in the mood to sleep.
Old Mrs. Nie sat on the chair with a gloomy face. Liu Chunhua and Nie Wenting stood next to her. Nie Daqiang and Nie Erzhuang sat on the left and right respectively. The atmosphere was low.
Mrs. Nie said hoarsely, "Why, are you all mute?"
Nie Erzhuang endured the pain in his back and asked in a muffled voice, "Mom, the dead girl just said that she broke her head. How come I didn't know about this? Did she steal the family's money?"
Mrs. Nie stood up angrily and raised her hand to hit Nie Erzhuang. Seeing that the wound on his back was still oozing with blood, she slowly lowered her hand and said harshly: "I said she stole it, she stole it! Why, don’t you believe what my mother said?! What time has it been now and you still have the heart to ask this matter? Are you a pig?"
Nie Erzhuang shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Liu Chunhua helped Mrs. Nie back to her seat, "Mom, don't make yourself angry. The most important thing right now is to figure out how to deal with it in court tomorrow."
Mrs. Nie snorted coldly.
Liu Chunhua continued: "If the county magistrate finds out tomorrow that there is no one in the house..."
Old Mrs. Nie interrupted her, "The county magistrate is not three-headed and six-armed, nor does he have an eye in our house, how does he know that our family has not lost any money!"
Nie Daqiang answered: "Yes, as long as we bite him to death and don't let go, Nie Qianqian can't do anything to us."
Old Mrs. Nie: "If this damn girl is not sent to prison, all my years will have been in vain."
Nie Wenting said worriedly: "But what if she is telling the truth? There is really such a person who gave her money..."
Mrs. Nie sneered, "So what? If she goes to court tomorrow, will this person come out of the ground to testify for her?"
Nie Wenting thought for a while, felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Grandma said that the dead girl will pay the price tomorrow."
Liu Chunhua: "Mom, what did the dead girl say about reconciliation?"
Nie Erzhuang suddenly said, "If Liu Yan marries me, she will be a member of the old Nie family. There is no way to reconcile or not!"
Old Mrs. Nie, "You stubborn donkey, you have forgotten what I just told you. What do you want such a woman to do? Drive her out of the house, and my mother will find someone for you."
Nie Erzhuang thought of what Mrs. Nie said about Widow Lin and shut up, but she seemed unwilling to do so. In her mind, Liu Yan was her mother-in-law, both alive and dead.
Old Mrs. Nie sneered, "Do they want to get divorced? They're dreaming of divorce. They'll divorce her tomorrow and let her be an abandoned woman who won't be able to hold her head high in this life."
Several people discussed how they should respond in court tomorrow. Old Mrs. Nie thought that she could send Nie Qianqian to prison tomorrow, and her inner depression eased a little, so she asked everyone to disperse and rest.
Nie Wenting was lying on the kang, thinking that if Nie Qianqian went to prison, her fair and flawless face would be ruined, and she felt indescribably happy in her heart.
Nie Erzhuang was tossing and turning, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't sleep at all. One moment he was thinking about how Nie Qianqian and Liu Yan dared to resist today, the other moment he was thinking that if Liu Yan divorced, wouldn't he have no mother-in-law, and the next moment he was thinking Looking at Widow Lin's round buttocks, she finally fell asleep.
