"So, if it weren't for those bandits, we wouldn't have a single penny left in our family, right?"
The old lady didn't expect that her mumbling was heard by Meng Shijie.
He heard it and even asked it directly to her face.
She is old and needs to save face.
The words have been spoken, and they cannot be taken back easily.
She stiffened her neck and choked him, "Am I wrong?"
“What are you saying?
Just because your family can't come up with a single copper coin doesn't mean our family can't either."
Chen saw that it was an old woman with pink eye who was looking for trouble.
She came to pull back her younger son who was still trying to speak.
You can't let your son tell others everything.
It's time someone told him he acted like a woman.
The old woman opposite didn't expect that she would just mutter like this.
The whole family was about to come up and confront her, and they were very angry.
Not only did her son and daughter-in-law not help her, they also tried to stop her from saying anything.
Such a comparison really makes people feel frustrated and angry.
Chen didn't even give her a chance to speak.
"Yesterday in the front yamen, when my son gave the 260 taels to the county magistrate, were you blind or something?
Didn’t you see it?”
Chen said this very loudly, deliberately speaking so loudly so that everyone could hear it.
She heard many people muttering and envying them for eating noodles. These people were really enough.
Why didn’t you have this expression when you were fighting with those bandits yesterday?
It was only one night, and they changed their expressions again just because they ate some shredded chicken noodles.
It's so ugly.
“The silver we gave to the county magistrate was not given to us.
If you don't believe me, go ask the county magistrate yourself later."
Ji also came to help her mother-in-law.
"No, Auntie and Sister, you misunderstood. That's not what my mother meant."
The son saw that this family was not someone to be trifled with, so he quickly apologized on behalf of his mother.
The old woman didn't dare to speak.
She was told to go to the county magistrate for questioning, but she didn't dare go.
Besides, it’s not that she really doesn’t know, she’s just jealous that others have shredded chicken noodles while she doesn’t.
Meng Shuyan had finished her meal by now and was concentrating on watching her grandmother and the others quarrel with others.
It turned out that the other party was incompetent and trouble-making, and the competition stalled right at the beginning.
Those who originally had some ulterior motives also gave up.
Meng Shuyan looked at her family boredly.
I discovered that the gray aura on my father's head had faded so much overnight that it was almost invisible.
The faint yellow halo became more and more obvious.
【This is the bad luck that is about to run away! 】
She looked at her grandfather, uncle and three older brothers in surprise.
[The gray aura above the head has also become much lighter, almost invisible.
There was no trace of it on Grandpa's head, and he still emitted his original pale golden light.]
Looking at the two nephews, there was no trace of grayness left.
Auntie and sister-in-law have always had a white aura.
【This is bad luck, all the troubles are over, so good! 】
Meng Shuyan was happy, because this meant that under normal circumstances, their journey would be much easier.
The whole family heard her thoughts and guessed that it was their credit for catching the robber, which was actually almost the case.
Because the escort officers colluded with the bandits, and there was corruption in Taiyuan Prefecture, these were serious matters.
After the Wen County magistrate reported to his superiors, he had to wait two days for the results.
So these people have to stay in Wen County for two more days, and they can only leave after the results are released.
Of those who escaped, nine have been found alive, eleven are dead, and sixteen are still missing.
That afternoon, the nine who were still alive were sent in to reunite with them.
However, these nine people are under strict supervision.
"We'll be here for two more days, so we should take this opportunity to buy some more things for the trip."
Doctor Zhou chatted with Mr. Meng and felt that they couldn't just sit there and wait.
So Meng Shijie found the officer again and told him their demands.
Seeing that these people were indeed short of food and clothing, the officers went to report to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate allowed each family to send one person out to buy things.
You must come back within half a day, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
Of the nine escapees who were sent back, they learned that eleven had died, and the remaining sixteen could not be found, most likely having been eaten by wild beasts.
The others had no intention of escaping.
Running away means death. As the saying goes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die.
When everyone went out to buy something, Meng Shuyan finally saw someone who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
That person was none other than Qiao Qinglu, who was torn apart by her mother.
If Meng Shuxin hadn't been standing next to her, and if it weren't for the huge patch of bad luck as dark as ink above her head, she might not have been recognized.
Ahahahahaha——
When Meng Shuyan recognized that it was Qiao Qinglu, she laughed out loud in her heart.
[Ahahaha——How did Qiao Qinglu turn into a water monkey? Hahahaha——]
After hearing Fubao's thoughts, the Meng family was wondering about the water monkey when they saw the eye-catching Qiao Qinglu.
From this perspective, it really looks like a water monkey.
Leng Yingshuang had pulled out a bald spot on Qiao Qinglu's head, and her philtrum was probably hit by a whip, it was swollen like a thunder god.
He was beaten so badly, he must have cried miserably.
His eyes are swollen like a toad's. If you paint them green, he will look like a water monkey.
The Meng family members couldn't help laughing and their shoulders were shaking.
