peasant girl allure

Chapter 30
Xiao'er also followed.

Sure enough, a pheasant and a hare were missing from the cage, and Jing Hao burst into tears.On the way back just now, he pulled up some weeds and vegetables, intending to feed them. Although Jing Rui was also angry, he patted Jing Hao's head: "Don't cry, now let's go and get back what belongs to us."

Shen Chengyao was also helpless, the children just said last night that they would raise the pheasants and hares, and he couldn't cope with his sister-in-law's greedy and thick-skinned, so he could only comfort the children: "Forget it, daddy!" The next time I go up the mountain, I will catch a few more and come back."

Xiao'er does not agree with this kind of conniving behavior, if it happens every time, let it go, others will get worse, she is most disgusted by people who take it for themselves, hum, if you dare to steal things from her house, you have to bear it as a result of.

There are some people in this world who use family affection as an excuse, thinking that what belongs to their brother is their own, and what belongs to them is still their own, and they take other people's things more smoothly than their own.I don’t understand that in this world, no one owes you except yourself. It is a favor for others to give you, and it is reasonable not to give you!And many times, what people care about is not so much external things, what they care about is just a respect in their hearts, and not asking for self-interest is a manifestation of disrespect for the other party.

Xiao'er grabbed the two of them: "Hao'er, our house has been burglarized, you go to the grain drying farm and find your mother, and by the way, your house has been burglarized, so speak up!"

Jing Hao responded, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and ran out, but Shen Chengyao had no time to stop him.This is known to everyone and will affect the reputation of the family: "Xiao'er, we are all a family, there is no need to do this, it is too embarrassing to say it."

"Father, we have separated. We are not a family anymore. Others still want to sell me. It's not the one who lost my family. And whoever said it was stolen by the family. The most important thing is that you treat this as nothing. Happened, it is condoning others to commit crimes next time. Sometimes such things are condoned too much, and others will think that my family’s things belong to theirs. In the future, they will take our field and house money to cultivate and live in it. If it belongs to him, then you should give it or not. And, if it is like this now, if the cousins ​​also learn to do this in the future, won’t it cause trouble for brother and Hao’er? If you make a mistake, you should be taught a lesson. One cushion, one wisdom." After listening to Shen Chengyao's words, Xiao'er also knew that he was clear about who stole things from her house.

"Not at all." Shen Chengyao felt that Xiao'er was exaggerating, but he didn't insist on objecting any more. He didn't care about some things, but he would not compromise if it would affect his children.

Xiao'er didn't feel that she was scaremongering. An ant's den would be a dike for thousands of miles, and evil would not be enough to destroy her body!But it can't change his mind for a while, as long as she heals her scars, she will forget about the pain, Baozi Dad, just don't hold back now.

"Brother, let's go into the room to see if there is anything missing." The two ignored Shen Chengyao and went back to the room.

Shen Chengyao scratched his head, the children seemed to be a little angry with him, he felt a little innocent, but followed him out.

The two checked everything in the room, and found that there was no trace of being turned over by someone in the room, and there was nothing missing, so they were relieved.

Xiao'er walked to the kitchen in the east wing, and saw Mrs. Li was sprinkling salt into the chicken soup, "Second Aunt, are you making chicken soup?"

Seeing Xiao'er coming in, Mrs. Li felt a little guilty: "Yes, Hua'er caught a pheasant on the mountain this morning. If not, I'll kill it and make some soup for them to satisfy their greed. You eat meat every day and we eat vegetables. We are so greedy." Your cousins ​​are drooling."

Xiao'er pointed to the hare in the cage on the ground: "Second Aunt, this rabbit looks so much like it was missing from my house. Could it be that my second cousin stole it from my house? It just so happened that a pheasant and a hare were missing from my house." .”

Li Shi was also angry when she heard this. Even a thief would not like others to say that she was a thief, so she said fiercely: "Who stole your pheasants and hares? It looks the same, but can it still bear your name? Could it be that your mother secretly killed and cooked it while you were not at home, and I could smell the smell of meat coming from your place at noon. "

Xiao'er didn't argue with her either: "It's not that you stole it. My brother is going to ask my mother if she killed her. If not, my brother will report to the police. Now that the new year is approaching, the matter of stealing chickens and dogs will be brought forward." If you lose something at home, you must report to the official and teach the thief a lesson. Otherwise, if you lose a chicken today, a roe deer tomorrow, and some silver the day after tomorrow, it will be annoying enough. You have to teach the thief a lesson. Second aunt, what do you think? Am I right?"

I'm so tall to your mother, Li scolded her in her heart: "Oh, which one doesn't lose something every day, if everyone goes to report to the official, the official will be busy to death, and I heard that reporting to the official will be punished." Board." Li Shi deliberately frightened Xiao'er.

"We are not afraid, we are thick-skinned, we will not be beaten more than the thief, and the thief is not afraid, what should I be afraid of! Second aunt, tell me!" Xiao'er is not a three-year-old child, so how could she believe her words.

"How can you be a thief when you open your mouth and shut your mouth, how ugly it sounds." Li Shi felt that Xiao'er's words were very harsh.

"If you don't call him a thief, you can call him a good person. How can the second aunt speak for the thief?"

"I'm just asking you to keep some morals." Li Shi said embarrassingly.

"I didn't curse the thief, why have no morals? Does the second aunt know who the thief is? How can I help him speak everywhere?"

"How do I know, I won't talk nonsense with you." Li's eyes dodged, and he wanted to slip away.

At this time, Jing Hao ran in first with Mrs. Liu, followed by Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen Zhuang, Shen Chengzong, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Chengzu and some villagers.It is also a big deal for someone in the village to be thieves. Now that it is the end of the year, maybe those thieves want to have a good year and start stealing here and there. If they steal into their own homes that day, they will be in trouble. For such a thing, the villagers feel that they must Unite together and catch the thief.

"Xiao'er, our house was burglarized, what did you lose?" Mrs. Liu asked hurriedly while pulling Xiao'er.

"Our family lost a hundred coins." Xiao'er deliberately converted a pheasant and a hare into copper coins.

"Did you lose your money? Old lady, go to the house and see if you have lost anything." After hearing this, Mr. Shen became anxious. He only paid out dozens of taels a while ago, and now if he loses his money again, he will cry. up.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang ran into the house before Mr. Shen finished speaking, and Mrs. Lu also went back to her own room.

"Why did you lose a hundred coins? It's just that you lost a pheasant and a hare." Li quickly explained, this loss of money is different. She took away the pheasant and hare from the third family's family. It can be said that she was greedy for children. As the third uncle, he must be willing to give up a pheasant and hare for his nephew to eat.But whoever’s money is hidden, so you have to go into the house and dig it out to take it away. It is written on the separation documents that you can’t privately occupy the property of the separation brothers. This is really stolen when you reach the government.She thinks that other things can be used except money and silver. Of course, this theory is only applicable to the third and fourth families. This is a typical bully and fear of evil.

"How does the second sister-in-law know that my family didn't lose any money, but only a pheasant and a hare?" Mrs. Liu just went back to the house to check, and indeed nothing was lost.

"That girl Xiao'er told me just now."

"I just said that my family just lost a pheasant and a hare, but I didn't say that I didn't lose a hundred coins. How can my second aunt be so sure that my family didn't lose it?" Xiao'er was aggressive.

"I don't know, I thought you meant that you didn't lose any money! I just said it casually." Li Shi kept waving her hands. Seeing so many people looking at her, she was also a little nervous. People feel something is wrong when they see it.

When everyone saw her like this, she was strange and guessed.

And Mrs. Shen Zhuang came out of the house and saw Mrs. Li like this, and smelled the smell of chicken soup in the yard. He couldn't understand it. It must be Mrs. Li who stole the chicken soup made from the pheasants of the third family, and he even despised her in his heart , this Mrs. Li specializes in doing these morally corrupt things.As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't help thinking of a plan, hum, I'll let you hide your private money!Let you dig a trap to harm me!Shen Zhuang pretended to be nervous and shouted: "It's terrible, old man, the one tael of silver I put in the cabinet this morning is gone."

When Mr. Shen heard that the money was missing, he lost all thought of guessing that Mrs. Li did it. He knew that Mrs. Li's character was not very good, but he still couldn't do it when it came to stealing the family's money.It could only be a real thief.

At this moment Lu Shi also came out, Shen Chengzu asked her if she had lost anything, she shook her head.

"Master, since so many things have been lost at home, we have to report to the government! We have to let the government investigate. It's best to take the thief to jail, otherwise we don't know what the thief will steal next time, or which house he will steal." Xiao'er deliberately made alarmist remarks.

Looking at Li Shi's tense expression, Xiao'er sneered in her heart, not afraid that you would not admit it.

Others in the village also felt that it made sense, and they all supported the report.

"Don't report to the official, you can't report to the official, such a small matter, don't need to report to the official!" Seeing that everyone said they wanted to report to the official, Mrs. Li panicked even more.

At this time, Shen Chengzong clapped his hands on his thighs and said loudly: "Oh, look at my memory, this morning Zhi'er said he wanted to eat chicken, so I went to the backyard of your third son and caught one. Three, I forgot to tell my third sibling at that time, it was a misunderstanding, I don’t need to report it to the officials, it’s all a misunderstanding.” Shen Chengzong laughed, but this matter has been going on for a long time, and now he comes out and says he forgot, who would believe it.

Mrs. Li also hurriedly said: "Yes, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
