Chapter 28: Sun Family Bleeding
Sun Xiaomao was so scared that he confessed everything.
When did he go out, how did he climb over the wall, how did he steal the bacon, and how did he call his friends to eat together.
Be honest about everything.
Old Lady Sun and Wang Xiaoling were silent now, and the women who came to accuse them all held their heads high.
One of them said, "In my opinion, the village head should come and administer justice in this matter."
Everyone else agreed, and someone immediately went to call the head of the village.
The Sun family members all knew that if this matter was brought to the attention of the village head, it would definitely not be resolved easily.
However, the other side had more people and more power, and those parents were all furious, so they would not give the Sun family any chance to breathe.
Soon, Zhao Lizheng from Taoli Village and the victim Lin Xi came to Sun's house.
Lin Xi didn't expect that the person who stole his bacon was actually a child.
After a brief inquiry, the truth of the matter soon came to light.
When Wang Xiaoling heard that Sun Xiaomao had stolen Lin Xi's bacon, her face turned pale instantly.
The pork she asked Wang Xingxiong to give to Lin Xi was the pig that died of illness in the Wang family, not the one raised by the Sun family. No wonder Sun Xiaomao had a stomachache after eating it, because there was something wrong with the meat.
Old Mrs. Sun was unaware of the situation and was furious, "The meat in your house was poisoned. My grandson got sick from eating it. You should pay for the medical expenses!"
When these words were spoken, everyone around was shocked. Old Mrs. Sun was so shameless that she relied on her age.
"Is there something wrong with my pork?" Lin Xi didn't make a fuss, but pretended to be puzzled and analyzed, "Come to think of it, isn't my pork bought from your Sun family? If there is something wrong with the pork, then it must be the pigs raised by your Sun family that have problems."
The Sun family raised three pigs, and Old Lady Sun was always concerned about feeding them. Now that Lin Xi was suspicious of the Sun family's pork, Old Lady Sun was the first to be unhappy. "There is absolutely no problem with my family's pork. How dare you talk nonsense, you little bitch!"
Having said that, it seemed as if he was about to take action.
"If there is any problem, please ask the doctor to check it out."
A voice came from behind the crowd. Xiao Yongyan came over with a piece of smoked bacon. He handed it to the doctor and said gently, "This is the bacon made by my family. Please check it."
The barefoot doctor took the bacon. It was the first time he had seen such black meat.
Putting aside his curiosity, the doctor took out a silver needle and inserted it into the bacon.
After a while, in full view of everyone, the silver needle turned black.
Everyone's faces changed instantly, and Old Lady Sun wanted to jump up and down, "Impossible, our pigs eat the best pig grass, and they have always been very strong, there can't be any problems! It must be you two who did something wrong!"
Lin Xi smiled slightly and took the other cloth bag from Xiao Yongyan's hand, "Doctor, these are the materials we use to make bacon. Please check if they are toxic."
The barefoot doctor took a careful look and found that it contained only common tree branches and spices, which were not poisonous at all.
"There's nothing wrong with the stuff used to smoke it. In my opinion, the problem lies with the meat itself," the doctor concluded.
Hearing what the doctor said, Xiao Yongyan took out another piece of unmarinated meat and handed it to the doctor. This time, as soon as the doctor's silver needle was inserted, it quickly turned black.
"Grandma, many people in the village know that I sold pigs from the Sun family, and many people also saw the Wang family send pigs to my house. Now there is a problem with the meat you sold to me, so you should compensate me." Lin Xi said.
Old Mrs. Sun also didn't understand why the situation turned around after Lin Xi's words, and now it was the Sun family that had to pay compensation.
"I don't care what you say. My grandson got sick after eating your meat, so you have to pay compensation." Old Mrs. Sun fully demonstrated her ability as a scoundrel. Anyway, she was old and no one dared to say anything.
"Village head," Lin Xi knew that Old Lady Sun was taking advantage of her age, but no matter how old she was, she couldn't get past the head of the village. "Please judge for me. First, the Sun family sold me a problematic pig, and then I made bacon with the pork. Sun Xiaomao stole the bacon and got sick. No matter how you look at it, it's all her family's fault."
The situations of other families all agreed with Lin Xi’s words.
"That's right. If your Sun family hadn't sold the problematic pork to others, your precious grandson wouldn't be sick right now."
"I think Lin Xi is right. They deserve it."
Everyone immediately stood on Lin Xi's side, but Old Lady Sun felt extremely wronged. How could there be anything wrong with her pork?
"You little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? My son personally delivered the slaughtered pork. Why didn't you say anything at the time? Why are you saying there is a problem now?" Old Mrs. Sun was very unhappy.
"No way, the person who delivered the pork was from the Wang family." Lin Xi said.
This time, Old Lady Sun was confused. Where did the Wang family come from? Soon she thought of something, "Wang Xiaoling, what's going on?"
Everyone's eyes were on Wang Xiaoling, and she couldn't escape. "I'm just worried that Shuping is too tired."
What else is there for Old Lady Sun to not understand? There was something wrong with the pork, and it must have been Wang Xiaoling's doing.
Furious, Old Lady Sun cursed at Wang Xiaoling, "What sin did our Sun family commit to marry a scourge like you back home..."
Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to fight, Zhao Lizheng could no longer play dumb and quickly spoke out to stop them, "What are you doing!"
In this way, Old Lady Sun and Wang Xiaoling could be said to have temporarily "truced".
"What happened today is very clear. The Sun family sold sick pigs to Linxi, and Sun Xiaomao stole the bacon, causing other people's children to get sick. The Sun family must compensate for all these." said Zhao Lizheng.
Old Mrs. Sun was certainly unwilling in her heart, but she could not go against the judgment of the village head, so she could only suffer this loss in silence, and became even more dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Wang Xiaoling.
At this time, Lin Xi said leisurely, "Although it is diseased pork, we are all from the same village. I won't ask for more. I will just compensate you half."
As soon as these words were spoken, other villagers praised Lin Xi for being sensible and having a broad mind, saying that people from the capital were different, as if they had selectively forgotten that Lin Xi was originally an exile.
Old Mrs. Sun was so angry that she not only compensated Lin Xi with five taels of silver, but also paid one tael of silver for the medical expenses of other families.
Now all the money she had saved for half a year was gone, and Old Mrs. Sun felt like vomiting blood.
What's worse is that the Sun family's reputation in the village has deteriorated a lot, and the Wang family, which was involved, is even more unpopular.
Lin Xi took the money and returned home happily.
After counting the money in his hand, Lin Xi smiled and said to Xiao Yongyan, "You know, we now have 45 taels of silver. If you want anything, just tell me and I'll buy it for you!"
