"Are you serious?"
Song Xiaowu tilted his head, his tone extremely serious.
"If I tell her the situation, can Aunt Dong really protect our whole family?"
Dongzi's mother didn't react at all to what Song Xiaowu was saying.
Her mind was now filled with the hope that Song Xiaowu would take the initiative to tell the truth about their family stealing plums.
So, she nodded in confusion.
Song Xiaowu's gaze fell on the two members of the law enforcement team again.
"Uncles, is this really the case?"
After all, they are adults and there is no need for them to get angry with children.
"Well, if you can tell the truth, after the uncles check to see if it's true, they won't do anything to your family."
Granted, if the truth is bad.
Or if the child confirms that the family has indeed committed a crime, they naturally cannot tolerate it.
"Okay, I say."
"Xiaowu!"
The fifth brother's wife suddenly shouted.
Just as Song Xiaowu was about to turn around, Dongzi's mother immediately blocked his view, cutting off the line of sight between mother and son.
"I say, Lao Wu, why are you so anxious? Do you really want your child to shut up?"
He paused, seeing that they were unwilling to talk.
She was not angry, but instead showed an even more smug smile.
"If you wanted to collude with the testimony, why didn't you say it earlier? Do you think you could say it in front of the official? Do you think he's stupid or deaf?"
The fifth brother's wife's face suddenly turned pale.
I can't rely on my husband anymore.
She could only look helplessly at Old Lady Song and Duan Dinglan who were not far away from her.
If we really say that it was transformed by a child, it would definitely cause a big shock.
Xiaoqi is the child that several generations of the Song family have prayed for with great difficulty. If they hand him over, will their family still be able to survive?
The two members of the law enforcement team did not look very good.
They glanced coldly at Lao Wu's wife, then said patiently to Song Xiaowu:
"Little friend, if you know where these green plums came from, the uncles hope you can tell the truth."
Song Xiaowu nodded quickly, then said in a deep voice:
"My brother and I found these plums in a cave in the mountains."
"You fart!"
Dongzi’s mother was immediately furious.
Her eyes widened and her face turned red with anger.
"These green plums were stolen from your family!"
Song Xiaowu immediately retorted: "No, these plums are wild!"
"You little bastard! You're just like your old, stubborn grandmother. You never say a word!"
"What did you say?!"
The people of the Song family were about to go crazy.
The members of the law enforcement team quickly stopped the people from the Song family.
"Quit the commotion! I suggest all the villagers calm down!"
The two of them looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Song Xiaowu.
This child looks very open and honest.
His eyes were clear and he looked strong and resolute, without any sign of guilt.
Of course, for such a major event, they cannot decide whether it is right or wrong based solely on their own perspectives and feelings.
To catch a thief, you must seize the stolen goods.
The most urgent task seems to be to find the source of plums.
The voices of the law enforcement officers also softened.
They even squatted down and said to Song Xiaowu:
"The innocence of our family depends on you, little friend. Can you take us to find the plum tree you mentioned?"
Song Xiaowu hasn't said much yet.
Dongzi's mother was the first to make a fuss:
"My Lords, this kid is such a jerk! He's always talking nonsense. I've lived here for over ten years, and how come I didn't know there was a plum tree nearby?"
She doesn't care about any evidence or anything, she just speaks and acts according to her own emotions.
"If you ask me, there's no need to waste any more energy. They must have stolen so many plums from other people's homes!"
She is so unreasonable.
Even the two members of the law enforcement team were somewhat dissatisfied.
"You said it was stolen, so it was stolen? May I ask who you are?"
Dongzi's mother was choked and couldn't say a word for a long time.
The team members continued:
"The law enforcement team is a department established by the town to mediate civil disputes. It is not a tool for people like you to use to vent your personal anger. Do you understand?"
Dongzi's mother shrank back a little, but nodded.
As for what she was thinking, probably no one wanted to know.
Song Xiaoliu happened to walk in from outside, and as luck would have it, he was holding a bag of fresh plums in his hand.
The members of the law enforcement team stood up and walked towards him.
Another person pulled Song Xiaowu and stopped him from making any sound.
The team member in front of Song Xiaoliu coughed lightly and asked:
"Excuse me, are you a child of the Song family?"
Song Xiaoliu nodded calmly.
"I am."
The team member continued, "Where did you get these plums?"
Once the two children say something different, then the situation must have changed.
Fortunately, Song Xiaoliu said directly:
"In a cave on the mountain, there is a very large greengage tree."
really.
Although the adults in the Song family were confused, they could finally put their minds at ease.
The two members of the law enforcement team also breathed a sigh of relief.
