Chapter 24 This is what she least wants to see
Su Luoluo shuddered, and when he turned around, he saw Li Zhenzhu standing on the edge of the field with her hands on her hips.
My forehead tingled with fear, and I had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Is this mulberry field yours?" Su Luo asked awkwardly.
"If it's not mine, could it be yours? Why did you steal the mulberry fruit from my tree?"
Li Zhenzhu stared at Su Luo with eyes that were about to burst into anger. He hadn't even settled the score for beating her mother and humiliating her for being ignored yesterday, and now he went to her field to steal mulberry fruits. You good Su Luo, let's see how I'm going to deal with you this time.
"I didn't steal, I picked it openly! I didn't know this was your field." Su Luo explained.
"Now you know, the fields are mine, and the fruits are mine too. You picked them without our permission, so you're a thief!"
Li Zhenzhu angrily rebuked and put a accusation on Su Luo first.
Da Kunzi, who was in the mulberry field, heard the quarrel and quickly pushed aside the mulberry trees and ran over to explain, "Sister Daya, it's me. I brought her here. Didn't you say before that no one eats the mulberry fruits from your trees, so you can pick them as you like?"
"What's Sister Daya? My name is Zhenzhu now, Li Zhenzhu, do you have any memory?"
Li Zhenzhu found out that it was Da Kunzi who brought Su Luo here, and she was furious. Did he think that her land was free?
"Oh, Sister Zhenzhu, is it okay to pick mulberry fruits from your tree?" Da Kunzi asked again.
"You're from Jiangjiaba, so it's okay for you to eat it. But for some people who aren't from Jiangjiaba, that's a different matter. Your name is Su Luo, right? Your last name is Su, and you're from another place. Do you have a local household registration? Why do you eat the mulberry fruits from my family's tree? Didn't your mother teach you not to steal from other people's homes?"
Li Zhenzhu is becoming aggressive and her double standards are too serious.
Su Luo knew she was in the wrong and considered herself unlucky. "I admit I picked and ate them, but I didn't steal them. There's no need for you to call me a thief, right? At most, I can compensate you."
"You want to compensate? How will you compensate? Can you make all the mulberry fruits that went into your stomach grow back on the tree? Ah?" Li Zhenzhu continued to make trouble.
"I'm sorry, Sister Zhenzhu. Today's incident is all my fault. I apologize to you. Don't blame Su Luo. She didn't know that this field belongs to you. I brought her here."
Da Kunzi felt that he had done something bad out of his enthusiasm and had implicated Su Luo. He felt very sorry and now just wanted to help Su Luo solve the problem.
But Li Zhenzhu rarely gets such an opportunity, and she must do everything she can to reduce Su Luo's prestige.
"Da Kunzi, you have nothing to do here, you can leave, but Su Luo, you can't leave. This matter is not over, I tell you. Stealing is stealing, even stealing a needle is stealing, don't try to play innocent. Come with me!"
Li Zhenzhu came to Su Luo and snatched the mulberry fruit wrapped in mulberry leaves from her hand, as if she was holding evidence of Su Luo's crime.
She took the lead and walked forward. Su Luo could only keep up with her pace. Da Kunzi followed a little anxiously.
This matter was all his fault, he had to find a way to help Su Luo explain it clearly.
When they arrived at the village entrance, there were a few women and old ladies chatting there. Li Zhenzhu started shouting when she arrived here.
"Auntie Ge, Auntie Wu, Third Auntie, you're all here just in time. Come and see, I caught someone stealing mulberry fruit from my mulberry field today."
Several women looked at Li Zhenzhu and asked, "Who is it? Who stole your fruit?"
"That's her! Jiang family's granddaughter, Su Luo."
Li Zhenzhu pointed at Su Luo who was walking over from behind. Su Luo's mouth and hands were dark purple. One could tell from the color that she had eaten a lot secretly.
"Ah? The granddaughter of the old Jiang family?"
"Don't mention it, she looks a bit like Yunlan!"
"You can't steal fruit from someone else's field, right? At least you should say hello, right?"
"Stealing is definitely unacceptable. Why don't you learn good habits at such a young age?"
When these women saw Su falling behind, they began to comment and talk about him.
After hearing everyone's condemnation, Li Zhenzhu felt secretly happy and looked at Su Luo with a provocative look.
Su Luo didn't say anything, so Da Kunzi stepped forward to explain, "Su Luo didn't steal her fruit. Sister Zhenzhu clearly said before that no one eats the fruit in her field and you can pick it at will. That's why I took Su Luo to pick it. Anyway, she didn't steal it!"
Aunt Ge looked at Li Zhenzhu, "Is that so, Zhenzhu?"
Li Zhenzhu was extremely upset that Da Kunzi was protecting a stranger. "Auntie Ge, I did tell Da Kunzi, but I only told him. After all, Da Kunzi is from our village, and we're so close. I allowed him to pick my fruit, but I didn't allow others to do so! Why should Su Luo pick it?"
Su Luo didn't want to continue pestering, so she asked, "I've already eaten the fruit and picked it. What do you want me to do now? Spit it out for you?"
"Who told you to vomit? You have to pay for it!"
Li Zhenzhu wanted to get compensation, at least to get back the eggs and money that his family lost.
"How should I compensate you?" Su Luo looked at Li Zhenzhu.
Li Zhenzhu gained the upper hand and put forward a condition, "You have to compensate our family with a basket of eggs, plus 50 yuan."
"Impossible! The little fruit I ate wasn't worth the price of a basket of eggs. Besides, you wanted eggs and money, but I didn't have any."
Even if Su Luo had it, she wouldn't give it to her.
Li Zhenzhu noticed that the jade pendant on her neck was quite nice and said directly, "If you don't have it, then give me the jade pendant on your neck as compensation!"
As she spoke, she was about to grab the jade pendant, but Su Luo quickly protected her neck with her hands, "Impossible! This is the only relic my mother left me!"
"Relics? Could it be that your mother Jiang Yunlan is already dead?"
Li Zhenzhu exclaimed in surprise.
The women were also shocked when they heard this. "What? Yunlan from the Jiang family is dead?"
"When did it happen? I haven't heard of it."
"No wonder this girl came to seek refuge with her relatives. She has no mother."
"Jiang Yunlan eloped with someone for so many years, and ended up like this, dying in a foreign land! It's unbelievable."
The women were whispering, and Su Luo felt a little uncomfortable listening to them. She shouldn't have let it slip just now and mentioned the word "mother's relics".
Her mother died, and she was still being gossiped about by others. This was the last thing she wanted to see.
Li Zhenzhu seemed to have caught something and stabbed Su Luo in the heart, "See, this is what happened to your mother Jiang Yunlan when she eloped! What good can elopement lead to? Diing in a foreign land!"
"Shut up! If you dare comment on my mom again, I'll spank you!"
Su Luo clenched her hands into fists in anger.
Li Zhenzhu wasn't afraid of Su Luo. She relied on her age and height, and with her hands on her hips, she shouted, "Am I wrong? Your mother ran off with a man secretly back then, and now you're sneaking into other people's fields to steal fruit. You're just like your mother! What do I say? Why don't you try to slap me?"
