Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 56

After Su Qinghe finished a shoe upper, Su Zhangshi drove her to sleep.After all, no one knows when the thieves will be dispatched. If they keep waiting, it will probably be tomorrow. Su Qinghe is too young to stay up late.

Su Qinghe was very obedient, washed up and went to bed.However, I kept thinking about it, so I didn't sleep so soundly, so when I heard the movement in the yard, I woke up immediately.

"Fourth, shall we send the person to the elder later?" Su Jingqing's voice sounded outside, and Su Jingsen replied: "The elder is probably fast asleep at this moment, let's send him there, if we wake up Elder Qi, maybe the elder should be angry, let’s call the whole village over tomorrow, and deal with the thief directly.”

The second child, Su Jingshu, went on to say: "The fourth child's words are reasonable, and we still have to wait until tomorrow to send them to the elders, so it is better to send them directly tomorrow." The third child Su Jinglin yawned: "Then this matter Forget it? I'm so sleepy, I'll go back to sleep if I have nothing to do."

Su Jingsen said in a low voice: "Then third brother, go back first, remember to come here early tomorrow, and let's go to the elder's house together."

Su Jinglin was a little impatient: "I know, I know, I have already remembered this matter, you don't have to say it so many times, then I will go back first."

Then the door rang, and Su Jingsen coughed, and said, "I've worked hard for you today. According to what we said before, tonight will be counted as a day's labor, and each person will receive ten copper coins. However, my land really needs to be cleaned up." , I only made half of it today, otherwise, you go back to sleep for a day tomorrow, and come back to work the day after tomorrow, and we will end together?"

Someone Su Qinghe didn't know said: "Master Su is a real person, and it's not the first day we have worked for Master Su. Since Master Su said so, we will get married the day after tomorrow. Can we still trust Master Su? It's just that , there is something that I need to ask Shopkeeper Su to accommodate."

"What's the matter?" Su Jingsen asked, and the man's voice was a little embarrassed: "It's like this, shopkeeper Su, look, it's already midnight, we are all from the next door village, and it's a bit awkward to go back now. It's too late, Shopkeeper Su just finds a place for us to squat overnight, can we go back tomorrow?"

Before Su Jingsen could answer, Su Jingqing said first, "Fourth, find a place for them to stay first, and let them come forward about this matter tomorrow, otherwise, if our brothers just say it, I'm afraid the thief won't admit it." .”

Su Jingsen was a little hesitant, but with the same voice just now, she hurriedly said, "It's really hard for us to agree to what Brother Su said. After all, this matter belongs to your village. What if..."

"If you agree to testify, I will make the decision and ask my fourth brother to give you an extra day's wages..." Su Jingshu interjected, and Su Jingsen continued: "What my second brother said is..."

Su Qinghe listened anxiously in the room, and before Su Jingsen could finish speaking, she yelled, "Father!"

Su Jingsen was taken aback, and the others trembled a bit. It was late at night, and Su Qinghe's sound was really choking.Even Su Zhiping and Su Zhian in the next room woke up, and asked in one voice, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Seeing the light in the yard, Su Zhiping raised his voice and asked, "Father, are you back? Have you been caught?"

Su Jingsen responded, and said vaguely: "I caught it, you go to bed quickly, you have to go to school early tomorrow morning." Then, he went under Su Qinghe's window: "Xiaohe, what's wrong? I'm having a nightmare ?”

Su Qinghe whispered inside: "Father, don't... I have something to tell you."

At this moment, Mrs. Su Zhang also shouted in the back room: "What's wrong with Xiao He? Did he have a nightmare?" After saying that, he went out and entered Su Qinghe's room.Seeing that Su Qinghe was getting dressed, she immediately frowned: "You want to get up? Hurry up and go back to sleep, you can't go out today."

Su Qinghe was in a hurry: "Mother, it's urgent. I have something to say to dad." Su Zhang stretched out his hand and slapped her on the head, and lowered his voice to reprimand: "A group of men outside, what are you doing out there? Just lie down and lie down." Come on, if you have anything to say, tell me, and I'll go talk to your father."

"Mother, I can't wait to find the elders tomorrow, I have to go now. I can't take the thief there either. The thief is from our village, right?" Su Qinghe said hastily, and Su Zhangshi nodded inexplicably: "Yes, I took a look just now, and they all belong to our village."

"Mother, tell Dad quickly, tell him to call the elder right now, and not take the thief with him." Su Qinghe said it again, although Su Zhangshi didn't understand, she went to the door and said these words again, Su Jingsen Also a little confused: "Why? Right now the elder is falling asleep..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Zhiping shouted from the room: "Father, do as Xiao He said, and I will go with you." After saying that, he hurriedly dressed and got up, and Su Zhian shouted from behind: "Brother , wait for me, I will go too."

When we arrived in the courtyard, Su Zhiping said first: "Uncle, Second Uncle, please stay here to watch out for these thieves first, let's go to the elder and Li Zheng's house first, and come back soon, but don't let these thieves come back." Some thieves got away."

Su Jingqing and Su Jingshu nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, they won't let them escape." After saying that, they went directly to the kitchen to move a stool, and sat in front of the thieves, staring at them without blinking.

Su Zhiping called out to the laborers again: "You three, go with us, and the remaining four are here to help watch people." After speaking, he saw Su Zhian who was going out again: "You stay at home with your mother and Little sister, don't follow."

Su Zhian was a little depressed, but he also knew that he had no chance to go now.All the men in the family have gone out, so he has to stay at home.Although the uncle and the second uncle belong to their own family, they can't stay at the brother's house where only younger siblings and nieces are at home in the middle of the night.

Su Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her elder brother had managed well.

Now that she didn't feel sleepy anymore, she simply got dressed, and Su Zhangshi planned to go to the kitchen to cook some supper for these people, and Su Qinghe followed suit to help.

After waiting like this for about an hour, Su Qinghe heard voices and footsteps outside the door.Then, there was a knock on the door.Su Jingqing responded, and went to open the door with Su Zhian, only to see elder elders and Li Zheng standing outside.

"It's these people?" The senior elder followed his eldest son Li Hu, walked in the door and circled around the man who was tied up and thrown in the middle of the yard, raised his head and asked Su Jingsen, Su Jingsen nodded: "It's these few, The senior elder also visited these people's homes just now, and what he said didn't make sense, and he even made excuses to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. If it wasn't for my elder son's cleverness, he said that if he didn't tell the senior elder now, what happened tomorrow There may be a change, and maybe they will bite back."

Li Zheng snorted coldly: "Not thinking right!"

"Brother Song, do you think we will take people away today, or talk about it tomorrow?" Chief Qi turned his head and asked Li Zheng, who waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, you can't ask me that, you are Qi Chang, you have the final say on this matter, if you say take it away today, let’s take advantage of someone’s help right now, and take him away directly, if you say you won’t take it away, we’ll wait until tomorrow.”

Senior Qi smiled and nodded, looked at those people again, saw that their mouths were stuffed with rags, and their hands and feet were bound tightly, so he said: "Then let's take them directly to the threshing field tomorrow." Forget it, if you take people away now, you still have to find a place to put them, it's too much trouble to go back and forth."

"Brother Li has the final say, so I just follow along." Li Zheng said hehe, the two of them discussed it in a few words, and Su Zhian hurried forward and said, "Father, my mother made supper."

Su Jingsen immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile to Elder Qi and Li Zheng: "In the middle of the night, it's because of such a mess in my family. I'm really sorry to bother Elder Senior and Li Zheng to make such a trip. After making supper, why don’t the elders and Lizheng have a meal before leaving? It’s quite cold at night, just to warm up.”

Senior Qi and Li Zheng didn't refuse, Su Jingsen quickly moved them into the room.

Because she was busy in the middle of the night, Su Qinghe woke up the next day and found that there was no one at home—the sun had already risen, and although it was not time to make lunch, it must have passed by now It's time for breakfast.

After walking around the yard, Su Qinghe resolutely went to the threshing field.Before she got there, she saw three floors in the threshing floor and three floors outside, crowded with people. With her small body, she couldn't see inside at all.

After finally squeezing to the front, I saw the elder sitting on it, Li Hu standing behind the elder, Li was sitting on the left, Grandpa Su was sitting in the middle, and then the four brothers Su Jingqing, Su Jingshu, Su Jinglin, and Su Jingsen, and there was no one on the right.

Further down, there are three people kneeling.Su Qinghe didn't know her very well, she only felt that she had seen her before.She doesn't like to go out too much, and there are quite a lot of people in the village, so it's normal not to recognize them all.

"Everyone understands what happened, so I won't say much else, just say how we should deal with these people." The senior elder probably talked for a long time, and drank a glass of water with a teacup. Then he wiped his mouth and said, "It's been so many years since we've had any thieves in our village! This thief not only damaged the interests of Su Jingsen's family, but also discredited our village! I will never allow this kind of thing to happen. In our village! These people must be severely punished!"

"Indeed, we should be severely punished. The reputation of our village is bad, and it will be difficult for boys and girls to talk about kissing in the future." After a long time when no one spoke, Li Zheng coughed and said, "It's not just the girls and boys who will be sad in the future, but also our village. It’s not easy for the people from Liu Village to go out, when people mention the people in Liu Village, they will first think, oh, there are many petty thieves in this village, but they are really bad.”

"You said, with such a reputation, will you still go out to work in the future? Will you sell the things produced in your own fields? Who would dare to ask you to work?" People occasionally go out to do short-term work for others for a few days.

Li Zheng's words were provocative, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone said: "The chief elder and Li Zheng are right, our village has had a good reputation for many years, we can't let these rat droppings ruin it! This time Things like this must not be forgiven lightly!"

There were instant echoes below, and then, the crowd boiled.
