Listening to the discussions around, Chen Dayong's face turned green and pale.

He thought of the rumors in the village before, and in order to save face, he said loudly: "It has nothing to do with ginseng! It's the girl the Jiang family picked up that has a problem! This thunder must be her fault, she wants to kill my whole family!"

Li Guangzheng just arrived at Chen's house at this time, and said angrily, "Chen Dayong, what are you talking about? As a cadre of the production team, you actually took the lead in promoting superstition."

"Nephew, you have to help me decide this matter. It's not that I want to promote superstition. It's really that Jiang's girl has a problem."

"In public, don't call me nephew!" Li Guangzheng frowned, "If you take the lead in spreading rumors and slandering others, I think you, the scorekeeper, don't do it!"

After a while, Jiang Qingshan rushed to Chen's house with Xiao Lingbao in his arms.

His wife and several sons also came.

Dadongzi strode forward and said loudly, "Uncle Dayong, you haven't forgotten the bet you made before, right? Return the ginseng to me quickly! Then apologize to me!"

Chen Dayong cheated, "What kind of bet? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Jiang Qingshan was so angry that he cursed at his words, "Chen Dayong, you really have a cheek with a thousand-layer sole, aren't you too thick-skinned? What you just said in the morning, now you don't admit it? Many people in the village can testify to us!"

Uncle Chai came out from the crowd, "I can testify. I was at the gate of Jiang's house at the time. I was a witness to this incident. I heard it clearly. They made a bet that if Chen's family was struck by lightning, it would mean that the ginseng belonged to Jiang's family."

Many people echoed his words, "I heard that too."

"The thunder will strike his house, which means that the ginseng was not dug by his son!"

"That's right, that's right, I didn't expect there to be ginseng essence. No wonder the old man said that when digging ginseng, you have to tie a red string, and you have to kneel down three times and do obeisance first. There are many rules."

Compared with the problem with Lingbao, everyone believes that there are ginseng essences in the world. After all, Lingbao is something that everyone can see. It looks cute and harmless, while ginseng essence is invisible and intangible.

"Didn't you hear what Captain Li said just now? Don't say anything that promotes superstition!" Chen Dayong changed his words, "What's so weird? These are all superstitions. It's purely a coincidence that the thunder hit my house today."

Da Dongzi clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "So you refuse to hand over the ginseng, right?"

"Unless you have proof that you dug this ginseng!"

After listening to Chen Dayong's words, everyone began to discuss again, "How do you prove this? Oh, I think this is difficult."

"The Chen family's kitchen was burned. This Chen Dayong is now counting on the ginseng to sell for money. How could he hand over the ginseng? He must be playing a rogue."

"Captain Li, please criticize," Shen Su'e said to Li Guangzheng for help, "This ginseng was obviously dug by my eldest son, and he took his son to the door to snatch it away, and now he refuses to return it. How can such a thing happen?"

Li Guangzheng was in a bit of a dilemma. He was clear about his uncle's character. He was a troublesome and unreasonable person even if he was unreasonable.

When there was a famine before, his mother asked his uncle for a few pieces of sweet potatoes, which saved his life, so his uncle used this incident to kidnap him, saying that if he hadn't given him a bite to eat, he would have gone to see Lord Hades a long time ago.

In the past few years, his uncle has gone too far, and even his two cousins ​​have become arrogant and domineering.

Li Guang just wanted to remove Chen Dayong's position several times, but his mother always said, "This scorekeeper is an important position. You have to find someone you can trust. Others in the village, who can you trust? Maybe someone else will go up. The memory of the work points is even more messy than your uncle. Your uncle is at least our relative and will give you face.

In fact, your uncle just likes to brag, there is nothing wrong with it, so don't you remember the annual work points book clearly?

Seriously, just listen to your mother, as long as your uncle doesn't make some unforgivable mistakes, you can turn a blind eye to his affairs. "

Since Li Guangzheng's father died of illness three years ago, his mother has been in poor health. In order not to let his mother get angry, he can only tolerate his uncle again and again.

Because of this, every time someone sues him about his uncle and makes him have to wipe his ass for what his uncle and his two cousins ​​did, he feels that he can be pissed off by his uncle's family.

"Uncle Li, they really stole the ginseng from big brother!" Lingbao said, pointing to Chen Jinbiao and Chen Shenghu not far away.

Li Guangzheng frowned, and shouted at his two cousins: "Come here and explain to me, what's going on? Whose ginseng belongs to?"

"What else could be going on?" Chen Jinbiao was ashamed to put out the fire. He wiped the ashes from his face and said loudly, "Of course I dug up this ginseng! No matter who asks, it's the same!"

Seeing Chen Shenghu bowed his head and said nothing, Li Guangzheng pulled him to his side, "Huzi, let me ask you, did your brother dig the ginseng, or Dadongzi?"

All eyes were on Chen Shenghu.

"Yes..." Chen Shenghu looked up at his father, seeing him staring at him viciously, he couldn't help swallowing, "Yes, it's my brother..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a "rumbling" thunder in the sky, which made Chen Shenghu scream again and again, "Oh, don't hit me, don't hit me..."

Not only him, but the others were also flustered at the moment. They couldn't help but look up to the sky, and saw a thunder piercing the night, and then falling from the sky, hitting the house in the middle of the Chen family.

With a loud "bang", all the tiles on the house fell to the ground, and at the same time, a raging fire broke out in the house.

The scene was so spectacular that everyone present was dumbfounded, "Mother..."

"Save... put out the fire, put out the fire!" Chen Dayong shouted, "What are you all doing in a daze? Hurry up and help me put out the fire, these houses are connected together, it's over, it's over, it's all going to burn down, oops!"

No one dared to move, "This is lightning struck by ginseng essence. I dare not go to fight the fire. We must not be accidentally struck by it."

Seeing that the room where he slept was about to be burned down, Chen Shenghu recovered from his panic, cried and said, "I told you that ginseng will strike people with lightning, but you don't believe me, so it's all right now?"

His eldest brother and sister-in-law were also cursing and crying at the moment, but his mother was still calm and said anxiously: "Master, you go and get the ginseng, quickly take out the ginseng and return it to Jiang's son, maybe it can stop the fire!"

Hearing what his wife said, Chen Dayong rushed into the main room with a glimmer of hope, picked up the ginseng on the table, and panted to return it to Da Dongzi, "Here you are, I'll return the ginseng to you, hurry up, let it put out the fire quickly."

"I don't know why this thing is thundering. Why do you let it put out the fire?" Dadongzi said helplessly, "I see, you should hurry to fill the water..."

In the firelight, a soft voice said: "Uncle, maybe you apologize to my big brother, and Ginseng Essence will forgive you."
