Chapter 67 Report directly to the police
Before the village chief asked, Yang Tianmei had already recognized that there was a hairpin among them, which was the one she gave to Chunying from Taoyuan Village!
Feng also thought that some of them looked very familiar.
At this time, the villagers of Daliu Village shouted.
"Wait, isn't that silver bracelet from Old Lady Lin? She has been wearing it for more than 30 years!"
"And that necklace, it seems to belong to the grandson of the village chief of Taoyuan Village."
"The string of copper plates hanging with a black rope was given to them by the Bai family when I bought sweet potatoes from their village a few days ago. How come they are all in the hands of the three of them!"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang and her two daughters-in-law were suddenly a little panicked.
They looked at each other for a few times, and then rushed over to snatch the two bags of property.
"We collected all these ourselves, don't talk nonsense!" Yunmei and Bailiu shouted loudly, implying that there was something fishy going on.
Feng frowned and sneered, "The bracelets here are all different in size, and many of them can't be worn by any of you three. How could they be yours?"
Yunmei and Bailiu: "..."
The village chief suddenly understood.
The three Zhangs must have taken away other people's money and jewelry while someone died in the village.
Even so, they still wanted to sell them off and ask Daliu Village to take them in?
The village chief was furious and dragged the two bundles away: "I was thinking of the friendship between you and your village and wanted to pity you women, but I never thought that you were so heartless that you even stole things from dead people. They are your fellow villagers!"
Aunt Zhang saw that she was exposed and she stopped pretending.
She blushed and said stubbornly: "What do you mean by stealing? Anyway, they are gone, and these things are ownerless! We are still alive and don't spend the ready-made silver, so why should we keep it to burn for them?"
The village chief was so angry that he clenched the cigarette pot.
"They are gone, but these things are not yours. Their descendants and relatives will come to take them away. Why do you take them so carelessly?"
After saying that, he made up his mind and called a few men.
"These three women took advantage of the chaos to steal, they are so unkind and unjust, and they came to our village to cause trouble. You guys should tie them up and send them to the government office to report it!"
Daliu Village and Taoyuan Village are neighbors.
If we don't report it to the government office and serve as a witness, when their descendants come to count the relics in the future, they will find that the house has been robbed and they may even suspect that it was the work of Daliu Village.
When they heard that they were going to report it to the government, Aunt Zhang and the other two were so scared that their legs went weak.
They were afraid that if they stole money and property, they would not live peacefully in the village, so they wanted to force Daliu Village to take them in.
Who would have thought that Daliu Village would go all out and report it to the government office!
Aunt Zhang knew she was scared, so she quickly begged the village chief to let them go, but the village chief hated such ungrateful people the most, so he waved his hand and ordered people to tie them up quickly.
Seeing the three of them being thrown into the ox cart, spitting and cursing, Xiao Nuobao's right eyelid twitched.
She immediately stretched out her little hand to hold it.
Hmm? There is an evil star!
It seems that these three women will cause trouble again in the future.
——It
is necessary to report to the police.
Within two days, the descendants of Taoyuan Village came back and found that their house had been robbed.
Fortunately, the three women of the Zhang family had been sent to the government office and tortured in the street. When they learned that it was them who did it, no one mistakenly blamed Dalui Village, and the storm was over.
Xiao Lanyi had lived in the Jiang family for seven or eight days.
Now, it was finally time to leave.
"Young Master, the New Year is in half a month. If you leave too late, you may not be able to return home for the New Year." Two subordinates of the Xiao family rushed to Daliu Village to urge them.
They waited in the inn for a long time, but Xiao Lanyi didn't come back, so they thought he had run into trouble in the village.
As a result, when they hurried to the Jiang family, they saw the young master wearing country pants, his face shivering from the cold, and he was cleaning the urinal for the little girl in this family, and he looked happy.
The two were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
After a long pause, they dared to persuade Xiao Lanyi to return only after confirming that he was still sane.
Xiao Lanyi waved his hand with a headache.
"I don't care whether I go back for the New Year or not. There's nothing fun in the mansion anyway. I'm just afraid that if I go back too late, those aunts will gossip in Dad's ears again." He said helplessly.
When Xiao Lanyi heard that she was going home, Xiao Nuobao became curious and secretly moved her little butt to deliberately get closer to listen.
She was chewing melon seeds while listening.
Her little mouth was drooling, but it was a pity that she didn't chew it well for a long time. She didn't eat a single melon seed kernel and kicked the plate of dried fruits.
Seeing this, Xiao Lanyi took the initiative to peel it for her.
Xiao Nuobao quickly sat down obediently, shaking her short legs waiting to be fed. Xiao Lanyi saw this and was even more reluctant to leave. She
tried her best to find an excuse to stay a few more days.
"Nuobao, can you help Brother Xiao calculate if it is not suitable to go out tomorrow?"
"What about the day after tomorrow? No, the day after tomorrow should be even more unsuitable!"
"Hehe, how about I wait for two more days and then we can talk about it."
Xiao's men were speechless after hearing
this. What, is their young master addicted to washing the urinal?
Wait, why is he peeling melon seeds for her again!
Little Nuobao giggled, knowing that Xiao Lanyi was reluctant to leave, so she said so deliberately.
However, in two days, heavy snow will fall in the north. If they don't leave now, it will be difficult to travel.
Little Nuobao was worried that the wind and snow would block the road, and advised in a baby voice: "Xiao Guoguo, it's really time to set off, and we can't delay any longer!"
Xiao Lanyi could only sigh and nod when she heard it.
He did whatever Little Nuobao said.
I just can't bear to leave...
I can't bear to leave Xiao Nuobao... I can't bear to leave Sister Feng... I can't bear to leave the Jiang family and Daliu Village.
The next day, when seeing Xiao Lanyi off, Feng specially used a small pot to seal five pots of pickled vegetables for him to take away.
In addition, there were homemade salted fish and duck eggs, two layers of pork fat dumpling just out of the pot, and a large pot of white flour steamed buns.
"Mr. Xiao, take these with you and eat them with your brothers on the road. Whenever you want to come and live here again, my house will always be waiting for you." Feng smiled.
Xiao Lanyi held Xiao Nuobao in her arms and weighed him reluctantly.
Feng Jing and Feng Miao kept staring at him.
They were afraid that he would put his sister in his bag and take her away with him.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Feng. I will definitely come again after the New Year." Xiao Lanyi nodded vigorously.
Just at this time, his men came to Daliu Village to pick him up.
Before leaving, Feng wanted to know the situation in Xiaocheng, so she asked about it.
As a result, I heard from the subordinates of the Xiao family that the streets in the city were still busy.
Only two or three grain stores were open occasionally, and only two kilograms of grain could be sold each time, and they were sold out before the morning.
Xiao Lanyi was a member of the Xiao family and knew some of the inside story.
He frowned: "You people in the north have suffered this time. The court is only focused on war and doesn't care about the lives of the people at all. Sister Feng, I advise you not to go out before the New Year, so as not to be stolen or robbed. Just stay at home and live peacefully."
"After the New Year, the court should allocate a batch of tribute to help the granaries in the north. By then, Yuncheng will be relieved a little."
Mrs. Feng nodded slightly.
I'm afraid that if there are relief materials, they may not all be used for the people.
They chatted for a while.
Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Xiao Lanyi had to leave.
He embraced little Nuobao, pinched her little face, and finally disappeared at the entrance of Dalui Village reluctantly.
After returning, Feng put away the quilt and pillow used by Xiao Lanyi, saving them for him to use when he came again.
As soon as she picked up the pillowcase, she heard a click, and a big gold ingot was shaken out from it.
Looking at the glittering gold ingot, Feng was surprised and couldn't help but take it to her mouth and take a bite.
"This Mr. Xiao is too polite. It's just a few days of food and accommodation, why did he leave this for us? This ingot is almost as big as Nuobao's toes." Feng rubbed it repeatedly with joy.
I felt unworthy of the gift.
I just waited for Xiao Lanyi to come again in the future and treat her well.
The night before Laba, it snowed all night.
The whole village of Daliu was covered with white snow.
When they woke up in the morning, Fengnian and Fenghu yawned and went out to sweep the snow. Little Fengmiao was already jumping around the house happily, waiting for his mother to make Laba porridge for him.
