New work out now, welcome everyone to read my work on Tomato Nov...

Chapter 22 Stealing

Sewing the quilt cover was very quick, and in less than fifteen minutes, both sets of quilt covers were finished. Zeng Wenjuan took Goudan to the kitchen again to tidy up the kitchen.

I put the big iron pot on the stove, and the pot hole just fit the big iron pot. I dug a handful of yellow mud from the door and mixed it with water, and put it in the gap between the pot and the stove. First, it fixed it, and second, it filled the gap, otherwise sparks would fly when cooking.

"Goudan, are you happy? We have a pot at home now, so we can steam rice. I'm also making a braised pork, which will taste delicious with rice." Zeng Wenjuan cleaned up the kitchen and bent down to say to Goudan.

Goudan smiled and nodded, and was about to say something, when he heard a commotion at the door. Zeng Wenjuan frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on.

"Mom will go out and see what happened. You stay in the room." Zeng Wenjuan said to Goudan. Goudan did not say anything, but just held Zeng Wenjuan's hand stubbornly.

As soon as the mother and son came out of the kitchen, they saw Ms. Deng, Zhou Li and some villagers breaking into the yard and messing up everything in the yard, even the medicine drying rack fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? This is the old house of the village chief. Do you want to demolish it?" Zeng Wenjuan's face was full of anger. She knew that everyone in the village was afraid of the village chief, so she used the village chief to suppress them.

When Ms. Deng heard this, she was about to beat Zeng Wenjuan up: "You bitch, you are always embarrassing our Zhao family. I will beat you to death. If you give me all the money you earned, I will consider not telling the boss."

Zeng Wenjuan was shocked when she heard what Deng said. Was she caught selling medicinal herbs? But she heard Zhou Li's next words: "It's really shameful. You even stole someone else's money. If I were you, I would have jumped into the river and committed suicide."

Zeng Wenjuan's face was dark: "Do you have any evidence for what you said? Otherwise, you want to slander me with empty words. Then the next time you want to slander someone, can you just make up stories behind their backs?"

"What are you all doing here?" Zhao Maosheng suddenly shouted from behind the crowd. Soon everyone made way for Zhao Maosheng.

Zhao Maosheng walked to the front, looked at Ms. Deng and Zhou Li and asked loudly: "We have already separated, what are you doing here with your people? Do you want to tear down my old house?"

"No, no, no... Zeng Wenjuan is the one who is cheating on her, otherwise where would she get the money? A cancer like this cannot be left in Shuitou Village, otherwise how are other girls going to get married!" Ms. Deng said righteously, and was immediately echoed by the villagers.

"Yes! We saw it with our own eyes. She came back with a basket of things on her back and two large bags and a pot in her hands. She clearly didn't get anything when the family property was divided. Where did she get the money? She must have earned it by cheating on someone else." Lin Beigo, a woman who was on good terms with Deng, shouted.

When Aunt Xiufang heard what Lin Beige said, she immediately retorted, "Ren Wenjuan is a military dependent, and her husband is a soldier. Maybe this is an allowance given by Jianguo! Only a fool would believe what the Zhao family said when they divided the family property and gave them nothing but a pile of debts."

"Impossible... Jianguo doesn't pay allowances at this time. Their troops pay allowances on the 25th." Ms. Deng retorted loudly. This was also the evidence that they dared to accuse Zeng Wenjuan of cheating.

Zeng Wenjuan also guessed what they were thinking and sneered, "Yes! This is indeed not the allowance sent back by Jianguo, but this money is all earned by me honestly."

"Earned money? If stealing people can also make money, then it is indeed earned. Anyway, we have to drive her out of the village. What if other villagers find out and the girls in our village can't get married?" Lin Beige yelled angrily.

"Where is the evidence? There must be an adulterer for a cheating couple! Who is the adulterer?" Zeng Wenjuan looked at them coldly and said.

Widow Chen smiled faintly: "Haha... the adulterer is probably with the bachelor at the end of the village! Isn't he spending a lot of money to marry a wife? Although he can't marry Zeng Wenjuan, he can have a son! Hahaha..." After saying that, Widow Chen laughed so hard that she shook with laughter.

Bachelor Zhao Daya happened to be in the crowd watching the fun. When he heard someone slandering him, he immediately stood up and said, "Widow Chen, if you keep spreading rumors, I will tear your mouth to pieces. It's just that I saw you having an affair with Zhao Daqiang in the mountains last time! You actually want to harm me."

After hearing Zhao Daya's revelation, the crowd burst into "uproars". After hearing this, Wang Dahua immediately grabbed Zhao Daqiang's hair and said angrily: "Zhao Daqiang, I wash clothes, cook meals, and raise children for you at home. This is how you treat me. Do you have a conscience?"

"I didn't! This is all Zhao Daya slandering me. I had a little argument with him yesterday, and now he is slandering me." Zhao Daqiang tried to shake off Wang Dahua's fat hand while defending himself.

It was Zhao Maosheng who yelled, "What are you doing? What are you doing? I have watched Wenjuan grow up. I have faith in her character. If you spread this nonsense, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"As for you two, go back home and solve your own problems. Why are you arguing in front of someone else's house?" Zhao Maosheng shouted angrily at Zhao Daqiang and Wang Dahua.

When Zhou Li saw the village chief say this, she immediately stood up and said, "Village chief, you can't say that. If Zeng Wenjuan earned the money herself, she should at least tell you how she earned it and how much she earned!"

"Yes! If she can't explain it, who knows where she got her money from? We don't want to live in the same village with such a person." Lin Beige

"Village chief, you are protecting her so much, you are not having an affair with her, are you? No wonder you let her live in your old house. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... You can't judge a person by his appearance!" Wang Liuzi smiled obscenely, and his thoughts were very despicable.

Zeng Wenjuan looked at the eyes of the people gathered in the yard, and she saw that many aunts, uncles and uncles were defending her, but she could not stand the ridicule and rumors from others.

"Okay... Don't you want to know how I make money? Then I'll tell you," Zeng Wenjuan said, then turned and went into the house to take out the slip written by Bai Shanxiang. "Everyone, look carefully, this is the slip written by Bai Shanxiang for buying herbs. Every single item, every detail is listed on it. I, Zeng Wenjuan, am a clean person and I do things with integrity."

The village chief took it and saw that it indeed had Bai Shanxiang's seal. He then handed it to the village party secretary Zhao Baoquan and said, "Look, there is a seal on it, it is indeed earned by Renjuan girl through legitimate business."

Zhao Baoquan took the receipt and read it. After confirming it, he raised the receipt and shouted, "There is nothing wrong with this receipt. Everyone knows that Wenjuan has nothing when she separated from the family. If the village chief had not borrowed their old house to live in, she would have been forced to death by the Zhao family long ago."
