The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 102
Zhou Chengkang helped him rub the medicine. He was still talking over there, and his mouth was hurting when he spoke. From time to time, he grinned and showed a pained expression. He said that those talents took silver and jewelry away when it was dawn. Mother Zhou couldn’t help it anymore, “How about Xili? Where’s Mei Hua, has she been beaten?”
Boss Zhou waved his hand, “The two of them are okay. It’s just silver…hiss…”
Hearing him say that Mei’s and the child are okay, Zhou’s mother was relieved slightly, and heard him mention the distressed look of Silver, and said, “How much did you lose?”
“Fifty taels, plus the bracelets and jewelry on Mei Hua. The total is about sixty or seventy taels.” Speaking of this, Zhou Boss looked sad, “I really gave them all.”
There was silence in the room, and Boss Zhou continued, “If you don’t give it, they beat me, let the plum to get the silver, but if you didn’t use it, you continued to beat it. Li, let us take the silver. If we don’t take it, we will have to fight Xili. He is so small, how can he withstand them?”
“So, later the silver and jewelry were given to them.”
Zhou Chengkang helped him wipe his face and asked, “Have you gone to the mayor’s house?”
Boss Zhou shook his head, “No, I don’t even know the mayor. I will come back and find you to accompany me.”
Zhou Chengkang got up, “How many of them do they have? Have you seen their looks?”
“All heads covered.” Boss Zhou thought for a while, “I can’t see.” He added, “All men.”
Zhou Chengkang was dumb, what characteristics are men, there are more men in Luoyue Town. “Think again.”
“There is a very white skin inside. I saw him from the neck, and Mei Hua grabbed his chin when he grabbed the bracelet.” Boss Zhou touched his neck, “Probably in these positions. There was a blood drop at that time, and he even snorted in pain. It should be someone who is afraid of pain, or…has never worked.”
In fact, Boss Zhou is not stupid at all. What I am talking about is very important. As long as he finds the man whose jaw has been scratched, there is always a way for him to recognize the others.
Zhou Chengkang got up and said, “Let’s go to town as soon as possible and catch people sooner.”
Mother Zhou thought for a while, “I’ll go too and see the child.”
When something like this happened, Li Qinghe should also check it out. When he walked to the door, Zhou Chengkang saw Xiyu who was still sleeping and said, “You two don’t go, or go again in the afternoon.”
Alright, Li Qinghe took the child back to the bed and accompany him to sleep.
When she woke up again, it was already early in the morning. She took the children to the kitchen to cook and eat. Chen came in and said in a low voice, “My house, there is something very strange.”
Li Qinghe glanced at her. Like other women in the village, Su Rili likes to inquire about each family’s affairs, and said casually, “What’s the matter?”
“The Yang family is like that, right?” Chen pointed in the direction next door. “It was just then that news came out of their house that they were paying off their debts, and they urged everyone to hurry up… Are they willing to pay the debts? People passed by quickly. Just now, I made a special trip to the uncle’s house and whispered to them to hurry up. Now it’s gone.”
The uncle in her mouth is Li Xingwang’s family, this is purely shouted by the two.
Li Qinghe thought of the fair-skinned man who was afraid of pain in Mr. Zhou’s mouth. He looked like Yang Lanhong next door.
The next door was indeed very lively. They all said to catch the gangsters and get the thief to get dirty. The money did not say that it belonged to Zhou Boss. Besides, she was the only one in the house, and it was not good to rush away to prevent people from paying their debts.
I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door outside, and Chen ran to open it. It was Li Xingwang and the others who had just received their wages.
He looked excited, “I didn’t expect the Yang family to really have money.”
Liu sighed, “I said earlier that I borrowed money from their family. You must not let it. If you borrowed it, you will also earn it now.”
“What are you earning?” Li Xingwang glared at her. “Are you not paying back the principal? You didn’t give me any profit. It’s luck to get it back. Don’t even think about profit.”
Liu didn’t take it seriously, “The Yang family has a big business, and it will definitely be back sooner or later.”
When I was talking, I heard a quarrel in the next room. The noise was loud, as if I was saying something like my own money and not going back.
Li Xingwang’s face changed slightly behind him, “Why are you going back?”
Busily took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it to the Liu family, “Don’t think about watching the excitement. Take these copper plates back and hide them.”
In fact, Li Xingwang didn’t get much, just a few hundred copper plates. They didn’t lend the Yang family any money, they just helped with some work, and they paid half of the deducted wages.
Liu took the purse and went home quickly.
Li Xingwang went out with his hands behind his back, “Qinghe, let’s take a look.”
When he left the door, Chen closed the door, and when he went to the wasteland, Li Qinghe said in a low voice, “My eldest brother came back early this morning. Their house was robbed last night, and he just woke up and shouted It’s a bad thing, I was **** and robbed.”
Li Xingwang was surprised, “How many robbed?”
“Dozens of silver.” Li Qinghe sighed. Earlier, Mrs. Liu sold three tofu recipes, each of which was thirty taels. After getting it, she bought the town’s yard. She was always frugal and shouldn’t spend much. Then they all fell into the hands of the two bosses Zhou and bought a carriage. The rest… should be gone.
The two had already reached the corner of the wall. Li Xingwang looked at the wall and frowned, “According to you, the silver issued by the Yang family today is probably from your eldest brother’s house. Their family also stole your fish. Your wild grassland. There are a lot of chickens in it, so it’s better to lock it up, lest he remembers to come and steal your chickens someday.”
Li Qinghe nodded, this wall is not so easy to lock. If it is really not a job to circle.
After the two passed by, they just heard the mayor’s voice, “These are dirty silver. They were robbed by the Yang family in the town last night. They were stolen goods. The ones that were to be taken back were taken to the county seat to the magistrate. Convicted.”
Regardless of the honesty of the villagers, they are not stupid. If it was said that when the Yang family repaid the debts, everyone felt that the Yang family had a solid foundation, and they were able to pay a dozen taels of silver to repay the debts of the people in the village.
The Yang family was already so poor that it was immediately robbed. If the money was returned, the Yang family would not be able to make it in this lifetime. The wages were paid back, and those who borrowed money would not be willing anyway. No one in the village has any money from the wind, but it is all in exchange for sweat. If it weren’t for greed of 20% of the money, it would be given to Father Yang.
Hearing this, someone immediately ran out. In fact, some smart people ran all the way earlier, and even those who did not ran took the money home.
“The Yang family grabbed it. It was indeed dirty silver, but it was true that he owed us the silver. The real money was taken. Our family is still waiting for the silver to marry a daughter-in-law.”
“You are the mayor, and you have to be reasonable. If the money is taken back, it will force us to die.”
Li Qinghe and his uncle entered together, and what they saw was this. Everyone was holding hoes and knives. This time it was no longer Father Yang, but the mayor under the eaves.
The mayor at this time can be regarded as experiencing the mood every time everyone persecutes Yang’s father. And beside him, Boss Zhou with a wounded face was explaining to everyone that the silver was his. Mei cried while holding the baby.
There are also some people who come to watch the excitement in the town. Some people enter the house and steal things. The people in the town are still quite concerned. If this thief is not caught, no one can relax and sleep. Mother Zhou looked at her with arms folded and stood with the people in the town. She saw Li Qinghe holding the child, coming up to pick up Xiyu, and sighed, “Let’s go back, there is nothing to look at.”
There is really nothing to look at. Li Qinghe will come here, mainly because she is curious about the source of Yang Family’s silver, and also because she heard the unusual noise that she just came to see in person.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Xiyu out of the Yang family’s door. As for the Chen family, if she didn’t urge her, she would definitely stay here to watch the fun.
When she walked to the courtyard wall, Zhou Mu looked around and said, “Here is still a door.”
In fact, this courtyard wall was made by the Yang family, and the rest of this place was reserved for walking, and it felt strange to be sealed directly. When the courtyard wall came over, it was the wall that Li Qinghe had left for a walk and circled with thorns. It was mainly used to stop chickens. If people want to enter, they can’t get in without deliberately breaking the thorns.
“If we circle around by ourselves, it will cost a lot of money.” Li Qinghe thought for a while. “The chickens are different. They are not so easy to catch. They live in the chicken coop near us at night and come here in daytime. .”
If they were caught flying, they should know about it.
“Yes, if you build a wall in such a large area, how many years will you need to raise chickens.” Mother Zhou sighed, “You two will count your lives, and you won’t make your life sad, the boss…” She shook her head, ” The money should not be returned. If it is forced, the villagers will dare to die, do you believe it or not?”
“If life is caused, it is the mayor, I’m afraid he will also have to go to court.”
Therefore, the mayor and village head will finally choose to appease Zhou boss.
“It’s also great. I can put more than a dozen taels of silver on my wife, for fear that they won’t know that their husband and wife are rich.” He said bitterly, “The silver is originally good enough to make people jealous, but you can’t be thief.”
Zhou’s mother became more angry as she talked about it, and Li Qinghe soothed, “Elder brother and sister-in-law would never have thought that someone would dare to **** it out. If they knew, they would definitely not be like this.
Zhou Mu’s expression was difficult to say, “I’m so stupid.”
“Stupid.” Xiyu’s words were round.
Just now, Li Qinghe persuaded Zhou’s mother to calm down without seeing Xiyu’s face for a long time. When she heard Xiyu’s word, she laughed instead, “Xiyu also knows that he is stupid, don’t follow your uncle, let your parents worry about it.” Back home.
In the evening, the mayor took the Yang family, the village chief and Zhou’s old family back home. Indeed, as Zhou’s mother said, the money could not be recovered.
The money was originally the wages that the villagers lent to the Yang family and helping their family work. Besides, they all got their own money back. The promised 20% profit was not seen at all. The mayor and the village chief have all the good things to say, but no one in the village is willing to pay it back, so they can’t go to other people’s homes to search?
The Yang family locked the door and left, but the villagers did not leave. They all stood at the door of the Yang family to discuss, not to return!
He insisted that he wouldn’t pay it back, and if he was in a hurry, he would die!
Everyone felt reasonable, and ordered a few timid companies, and everyone dispersed.
