Li Youdi patted his forehead, "I forgot to mention this." Then he talked about leaving the money to himself for safekeeping, "Actually, Uncle Mo didn't want them to pay the money, he just didn't let them. Excuse me, isn’t the milkweed grown in the ground just white? Even if it is grown to feed pigs, it should be fed to the pigs at home. Sir, do you think this is true?"
"That's what happened."
"So Uncle Mo and the others were angry because what they had worked so hard to sow was stolen by someone. No matter what, the theft couldn't be in vain, so Uncle Mo wanted to teach them a lesson so that no one would steal it again in the future. , I am also afraid that people who steal things will become more and more successful in the future. If I get used to stealing, I am afraid that our village will be stolen by them in the future."
Li Youdi went to great lengths to say good things to the Mo family. After finishing a long sentence, he paused and continued, "I also agree with Uncle Mo and the others in accepting the money. Originally, I was thinking of letting them go to Uncle Mo's field to replant the cut vetch. But Uncle Mo didn’t agree, because he was afraid that if they didn’t plant it well, they would ruin the remaining milkweed in the field.”
"In the end, each family collected two taels of silver, and the money was given to me for safekeeping. They said that when the school in the village is built, I would use the money to add more things to the school."
After finishing speaking, he asked: "Two gentlemen, do you think Uncle Mo and the others didn't want this money?"
The two secretly thought: I'll let you finish everything, but they also like people who take the initiative to explain things, so they still said with a smile on their faces: "Yes, if you want to collect this money, you won't say how to use it." It’s in school.”
"No, not to mention these two taels of silver, it cost them a lot of money to build the school. Such good people, if they hadn't gone too far, the Mo family would really not care about them."
Then the two yamen servants asked about the situation of growing milkweed in the fields. Faced with their questions, Li Youdi also knew everything, starting from opening up wasteland, then planting, and then Murong Murong. Qingyuan ran to the fields every day to check.
After talking about a series of things, Li Youdi finally said in summary: "They know everything. When they were sowing seeds, they even laughed at Uncle Mo and them for planting grass all over the field. They said they were rich, but they didn't even plant food. , I bought land specifically to grow grass. Everyone in the village knew this, and they laughed for a long time before they stopped."
After hearing this, the two Yamen servants said, "Does that mean they secretly cut the field even though they knew it was the vetch specially grown by the Mo family?"
"Then you must know it! Everyone in the village knows it."
After getting the definite answer, they asked some more questions before they got up and left. Of course, they didn't go back to the Yamen. Instead, they went directly to Li Youshu's house. After coming out of Li Youshu's house, they went to Li Youcai's house one after another, and then they went to Li Youcai's house casually. After walking through several houses, the two finally walked directly to the foot of Cuilong Mountain.
The two of them came here to measure the land in person, so they knew how to walk without anyone guiding them. When we reached the foot of the mountain and looked at the cut vetch in the ground, we finally understood why the Mo family was so angry.
Both of them also know the vetch. Although the vetch has emerged from the ground at this time, it has only grown one or two green leaves. Maybe the Mo family has taken good care of it, even if it has not been cut yet. The milkweed also grows better than the ditches beside the fields.
A good piece of land was cut and trampled by two people, and a path was pulled out of the ground with the backs of bamboo poles. It would be fine if they just cut a little, but it is really chilling to ruin it like this.
After checking the situation in the field, the two of them turned and walked towards the county government office.
Li Youdi was afraid that the Mo family's mood would be affected when they heard that Fan Dali and his wife went to the Yamen to sue them, but it was impossible not to tell them. If he didn't tell him now, even the people from the Yamen would know about it if he came back. Instead of waiting until he entered the Yamen I didn’t know about this until now. It’s better to know earlier so that I can be mentally prepared.
However, Li Youdi did not go directly to Mo's house. He was afraid that he could not speak well, which would make people more worried. They, the villagers, did not understand the things in the yamen. After thinking about it, he went to Han's house first and wanted to do this. Let’s talk to Han Shuxian first and see what he thinks.
After making up his mind, Li Youdi came to Han's house first.
Han Shuxian was still a little surprised why he came, because he saw Li Youdi helping Mo's family
Looking at the house repairer, "Brother Youdi came to see me, but what's the matter?"
Li Youdi was originally here to talk about things, so naturally he would talk about them from beginning to end.
After Li You finished speaking, Han Shuxian said: "They are humiliating themselves. Brother Youdi, don't worry. The whole village knows about Uncle Mo and his friends buying land to grow medicinal materials. Not only do they not repent now, but they also I have the nerve to go to the Yamen to falsely accuse Uncle Mo and Aunt Song, but when the Yamen find out, not only will they not be able to sue Uncle Mo, but they will even harm themselves."
"I feel relieved now that you have said that. When the two officials came just now, I was also talking about Uncle Mo and his friends growing milkweed. Everyone in the village knew that she deliberately stole the milkweed. Feeding pigs."
After the two talked for a while, they walked to Mo's house together.
Needless to say, Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi couldn't believe it when they found out that Fan Dali and his wife went to the Yamen to sue them. It was obvious that they had done something wrong and stole the milkweed from their field. Why do they have the nerve to sue themselves?
The two of them felt that the Fan family was shameless, and they were too embarrassed to complain about such a confusing matter, but they were afraid that they would accuse them accurately, so they couldn't help but worry again.
"What should we do?" Song Nanzhi said worriedly.
"It's okay, let them file a complaint. Only when they get to the Yamen will they know that the person who decides the case in the Yamen is either the one who files the lawsuit or the one who has the right." Han Shuxian said.
With Han Shuxian's reassurance, the two elders of the Mo family are no longer so anxious. No longer in a hurry, Song Nanzhi wanted to go to Fan's house to question Fan Dali and his wife, asking them why they were so shameless, and wanted to shout out about them stealing the vetch from their own land, so that everyone would know how shameless they were.
However, this was stopped by Han Shuxian. Han Shuxian said: "Auntie, don't be anxious. This matter will only happen in one day tomorrow at most. There will be an interrogation the day after tomorrow. Then they will know what it means to be smart but be misled by your cleverness."
"This damn bitch is such a bully!" Song Nanzhi still cursed angrily.
"Auntie, please bear with this for now. Then we can go to the Yamen and talk to them slowly about what constitutes a false accusation?"
"Shu Xian, if we also accuse her of stealing things, we will accuse them of stealing our milkweed." Song Nanzhi was furious. It was obvious that his own things were stolen by them. They were the ones who stole things. Now they are reasonable. Song Nanzhi was furious. I also want to file a complaint.
Mo Tingyu also couldn't figure out why they wanted to sue him. He had the same idea as his wife, it was reasonable for them to steal things, so when his wife said he wanted to sue them, he followed up and said, "Yes, we will sue them too. , sue them for stealing our stuff."
Han Shuxian thought for a while and then said, "That's fine. Since they feel they shouldn't lose the two taels of silver, let's return it to them. Then let's ask the county magistrate to make the decision!"
While several people were talking, Li Yougui came to Mo's house and asked, "Uncle Mo, is Auntie at home?" After shouting, he shouted: "Mr. Han, Brother Youdi." Li Youdi looked at the people in the house one by one. greeting.
"Yougui, what's going on? Come and sit in the room." Mo Tingyu looked at Li Yougui at the door of the room.
"If you don't come, I'll leave after saying a few words."
Then Li Yougui continued, "I went to the fields in Cuilong Mountain this morning. Uncle Mo and Auntie, I'm really sorry. I didn't know I wasted so much and made your hard work in vain."
Li Yougui went to the fields at the foot of Cuilong Mountain in the Mo family early in the morning. Although not every part of such a large piece of land had been mowed, the good land was still badly damaged, and the vetch grass had just grown. , the cuttings are all tender tips, so in two big baskets, every vetch contained in them is a tender tip, and they are all tender tips. You don't have to cut many to fill the basket.
There is also that road. It seems that you are cutting while pulling the basket beside you. Where the basket has been pulled, the vetch is either cut off by the bottom of the basket, or is pressed to the ground, and is dragged out of the road. .
Li Yougui looked honest and honest, which made Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi feel a little comforted by the fact that they were hurt by the Fan family. Mo Tingyu said: "Come in and sit down first!"
Li Yougui was too embarrassed to go in, "No, I have nothing to do. I just came to tell my uncle and aunt that if we plant it again, I will tear up the cut vetch first."
「
Why are you so polite? Come in and sit down. Song Nanzhi said.
"Just come in. We are just talking about this. You should also come in and listen. You can go back and talk to your cousin later and ask her not to talk or do things with some random people in the future." Li Youde said.
After listening to Li Youdi's words, Li Yougui entered the room and sat on a bench with him.
After he sat down, Mo Tingyu said again: "You don't need to take care of the milkweed in the ground."
"Uncle Mo, I thought that the milkweed has just begun to sprout, so I pulled out the cut ones and spread them on the ground before sowing them. It won't be too late."
"No more planting. The wasteful areas will be cleared out later to plant crops. Only the unspoiled areas will be kept." Mo Tingyu said.
Li Yougui felt even more embarrassed, "Then I will help you plant crops." Then he asked, "What are you talking about?"
Li Youdi once again told the story of Fan Dali and Chen going to the Yamen, Mo Tingyu, and Song Nanzhi. After hearing this, Li Yougui, an honest man, became so angry that he cursed: "Fan Dali, why is he so heartless?"
"The whole family is rotten at heart. Of course they have no conscience. They are all black-hearted people." Song Nanzhi continued to scold him.
"Brother Youdi, prepare the money given by the Fan family first, and then take out the money when someone from the Yamen comes to tell you to go to the Yamen. You will definitely go then." Han Shuxian said after Song Nanzhi's words.
"Even if the county master doesn't call me, I will go."
After Li Youdi's words, Li Yougui also said: "I'll go too, take my mother with me, and let her go and have a look, so that she won't cause trouble again when she has nothing to do."
While several people were talking in the room, Mo Ziwan walked out of Murong Qingyuan's house. After starting to repair the house, there were many people coming and going in the house, so she changed the place where she taught the village children to Murong Qingyuan's house. room, anyway, Murong Qingyuan spent most of his time studying at the Han family during the day.
When I walked to the door, I heard that the Fan family was suing them. I was quite surprised. What kind of thinking did their family have? Who is the victim in this matter? He entered the room and asked, "Uncle Youdi, why did they sue us?"
