Master Ma was sent to Dr. Qin, a Chinese doctor, while Wu Hua and Li Jun were detained at the brigade headquarters, watched by the brothers Jianjun and Jianguo.
The two men inside were screaming in pain, while the two brothers were chatting outside.
"How are your wedding preparations going?" Jianjun asked Jianguo while holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.
Speaking of the wedding, Jianguo said happily: "Xinghong said she didn't want anything else, and gave her uncle and aunt a hundred yuan. She made a wardrobe and cabinets herself, and brought a few quilts. We prepared the rest."
"That's great!" Jianjun spitted out the foxtail grass. "Mom prepared the wood for you a long time ago. It was originally prepared for 72 legs. If Xinghong brings eight legs herself, we can use the rest for other things!"
"You, don't listen to other people's nonsense. If you had been so foolish before, you could have had the wedding banquet before the New Year. You wasted all that time!"
Jianguo chuckled: "I know, if I do something stupid again, you'll give me a big slap!"
Jianjun kicked him and said, "Slap you? You'll have someone to take care of you from now on. That's all I can do for you! From now on, your wife can control you however she wants. You two are a family. Everyone else has to stand aside!"
Jianguo smirked, "That can't be true! Brother, won't you still be my brother after you get married? Won't you still control me?"
Jianjun couldn't bear to see his silly brother acting like that. He was about to get married, but he was still so stupid, so he decided to have a good talk with him.
"Look at your sister-in-law, is she a good person? Look at our mother, is she sensible? Even two such good people sometimes feel incompatible with each other. Don't even mention Zhou Xinghong's stubborn temper! There will definitely be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues in the future."
"What should we do then?" Jianguo asked humbly.
"You can coax them from the middle! After you coax one side, you can coax the other side. Hey, tell our mom that we are a close family! Tell your wife that she is the person you will spend your whole life with. Anyway, you can coax them in any way that makes them happy. Believe me, it will be resolved soon!"
Jianguo nodded thoughtfully: "That means you should speak the truth to people and lie to ghosts!"
"That's about it!"
The two of them laughed.
Inside the room, Wu Hua banged on the door and shouted, "Why are you locking us up here? Let me out!"
Jianguo was impatient and kicked the door twice: "Don't you know why we're locking you up? Just stay still!"
By the afternoon, three men in wide-brimmed hats appeared at the brigade headquarters.
"Take them away!" The captain opened the door. "These are the two bad guys who planned to kill our team leader Ma Da...Shi."
The man in the wide-brimmed hat took out two pairs of handcuffs, handcuffed Wu Hua and Li Jun, and took them away.
There were crowds of people in Wangjia Village watching the fun, and it was the first time for everyone to see someone in a wide-brimmed hat being handcuffed.
Dr. Qin, everyone was looking at the young man in front of them, all puzzled.
Wang Guifen asked in confusion, "Who are you? Where's Ma the liar? Did you make him disappear?"
The young man chuckled foolishly: "Nothing has changed, I am just like that!"
"You? Impossible. That old liar must be in his forties or fifties if not sixty. How old are you?"
Dr. Qin silently took out a lock of beard, and everyone took a look. Wow, it was a fake beard!
"I knew it, this old liar has lived here with us for so many years, his hair has turned black, but why is his beard still gray!" Ma Guifen shouted.
"Tell the truth, what was your plan? Dress up as an old man and sneak into our Wangjia Village?" asked Goudan's father.
Master Ma said awkwardly, "I...dress like this to look impressive. Otherwise, I'm too young and people won't believe me!"
That does make sense! There aren't many fortune tellers these days who are as young as him!
"You can't lie to us, can you? The kids in that brigade still call you grandpa!"
Master Ma felt wronged, but I was indeed the grandfather before...
But he couldn't say that, he could only smile apologetically.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
As he spoke, he stole a glance at Jiaojiao, and seeing that she was looking at him with a half-smile, he quickly gave a flattering smile.
Jiaojiao understood from the moment his beard was taken off that this horse liar was doing this for this purpose.
After all, he had made such a great contribution to the team and worked so hard. Everyone would show some mercy to him because of his injuries.
"I finally understand. Calling you a horse liar is not a bad idea!"
Ma the liar muttered, "Well, I started calling you Big Sister... but you insisted..."
Wang Guifen recalled the first time she met Ma Pianzi. At that time, he was still a completely old man. She certainly didn't want an old man to call her "big sister". Who would have thought that one day this old man would become a big man!
Wang Guifen looked at him and said, "Okay, okay, in consideration of your contribution to the brigade, I'll stew an egg for you later."
Master Ma revealed his true face, and he felt relaxed all over. He was about to get up without caring about the injuries on his body.
"Just stay here. The police are coming to talk to you. You have to make it serious. Doctor Qin, bandage his arms, legs, head, and everything else!"
Dr. Qin gestured to Lianhua, who immediately took a bundle of cotton gauze and went forward to tie Master Ma up like a dumpling.
Master Ma...
"Hold on!" The captain patted him kindly. "I told you you were still unconscious. Let's talk about it after the police come and ask about it."
After Master Ma's identification, the criminal motives of Wu Hua and Li Jun were clear, with both witnesses and physical evidence, and they stole collective property and attempted murder.
But there are obvious doubts about this case. How could these two people, so far away in Pingjing, know about the red fruit? Is there a larger conspiracy behind this?
The county public security bureau could not find any more clues and had to imprison Wu and Li first.
With those two men dealt with, the people of Wangjia Village breathed a sigh of relief. Now the remaining people were all family again! The new educated youth settlement was complete, a row of five large tiled houses, perfect for the new teacher to move in.
The team members were impressed that the team leader had foresight. He insisted on building five large tiled houses for the two educated youths who came. Now it seems that not a single one was wasted!
As the Lunar New Year approached, all schools in Wangjia Village were closed. Students were busy running around the village, and teachers gathered to chat about everything. The whole village was filled with joy.
The year ended in such a lively and noisy way.
