Chapter 128 The Same Despicable Hypocrisy
When Xu Yu came back, Xu Minghui's careful observation and learning had also paid off. He quickly got the hang of planting rice for the first time in his life. If you pay close attention, you will find that his movements are even smoother than those of Xu Wenxiu and others who have been struggling for most of the day.
When Sang Zhixia saw Xu Yu about to go into the water, she immediately said, "Don't bother coming down."
"how?"
"There's not much left here, but the punctured tarpaulin hasn't been patched yet."
Sang Zhixia straightened up and said, "It's probably going to be even colder at night. It's definitely not okay to have drafts everywhere. Take the things you bought and patch up the punctures."
Although Xu Yu was reluctant to let Sang Zhixia soak in the paddy field, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"I'll go fix it first, and come over to help when I'm done."
Xu Minghui inserted the last bunch of seedlings in his hand into the slippery mud, washed off the mud on his palm and said, "Some of the punctured places are quite high. It may be difficult for big brother to handle it alone. I'll go over and take a look."
The others had no objection to this, and Xu Minghui naturally picked up the things Xu Yu brought and followed him to the greenhouse which was relatively severely damaged.
He squatted on the ground, tearing open a roll of oilcloth, and said calmly, "I heard from my third uncle that you killed someone from the Wang family?"
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows, half laughing, "Did you hear from Third Uncle?"
It's not that he underestimated his third uncle's keenness, but he didn't think from the bottom of his heart that his third uncle could see through his handiwork.
Xu Minghui wasn't surprised by this answer. He sighed and said calmly, "Third Uncle regrets having to bear the Wang family's wrath, but I don't think you're someone who can handle it."
"You did it, didn't you?"
Xu Minghui could see that Xu Yu was not surprised.
There were so many people in the Xu family in the past that Xu Yu didn't bother to pay attention to most of them, but Xu Minghui was different.
This gentleman, who was a few years younger than him, was gentle and said to be handsome and elegant. His mind might not be as deep as Hai's, but he was indeed a smart man that Xu Yu rarely noticed.
Knowing he couldn't hide it, Xu Yu didn't bother trying to hide it: "Why, are you planning to find a chance to expose my cruelty?"
"If the Wang family hadn't attacked Yanran and the others first, I might have been planning to stab you today."
Xu Minghui looked regretful: "It's a rare opportunity, what a pity."
After all, although he and Xu Yu were brothers in name only, their relationship was not as close as enemies, and they would never miss any opportunity to pull each other down.
I missed it this time.
Xu Yu gave him an ambiguous look without replying. Xu Minghui said with a smile, "You only caught one. Didn't you have time to do anything else?"
Uncle Xu's perception and sharpness are a little lacking, but his description of the situation at that time is so vivid that it makes people feel as if they were there.
The messy footprints left on the ground can be identified in size. Although there is no more evidence, it can be seen intuitively that there is more than one person causing trouble.
Xu Minghui raised his eyes and said, "I remember that big brother is a master of painting."
"Did you see the other people's faces clearly?"
In fact, once you catch Wang Dachui, the rest of the things will be easy.
Since this person is addicted to gambling and drinking, he must be a frequent visitor to taverns and gambling houses. It is not difficult to follow the clues and find out who he is close to on a daily basis.
It would be even easier if there was a portrait of the person to be found.
Of course, if there is really no solution, it does not mean that nothing can be done.
Xu Yu turned to look at him, but instead of answering him directly, he said, "It seems like you're doing pretty well over there?"
How long has it been since you went there, and you already have your own ways to investigate people?
Xu Minghui didn't answer but asked, "What did big brother say?"
"I'm too lazy to say more."
Xu Yu patched up the largest hole in a few strokes and said calmly, "That guy called Uncle Gong is a troublemaker. If you try to get the skin of a tiger, you might end up in its mouth one day."
He had reminded Xu Minghui of all the things he should have, but it was up to him to decide whether to listen or not.
Xu Minghui thought of the time when he was rescued from a dangerous situation and smiled meaningfully. He said vaguely, "I know what I'm doing. Just give me the portrait, big brother."
He stood up and handed the cut oilcloth to Xu Yu. "Third Uncle said it's over, but from the way he described it, I'm afraid there will be more trouble later. In that case, why not take preemptive action?"
No one believes the Wang family’s words now, but how can the Wang family let it go if they haven’t been taught a sufficient lesson once and for all?
Xu Yu had no intention of letting the matter go, and Xu Minghui didn't think so either.
Facing Xu Yu's scrutinizing gaze, Xu Minghui smiled calmly: "Look, after all, aren't you and I the same?"
The same sweet words but a sharp knife in the heart.
The same despicable hypocrisy.
The reason why they hate each other is that they have long seen through the painted skin of the other party, and through the other party's face they can see the unbearableness hidden behind the painted skin.
After a long moment of silence, Xu Yu chuckled to himself, "I'll give you the portrait tomorrow."
"Just tell me when you find it."
Xu Minghui was well aware that he had no fighting ability at all, and nodded with a smile.
He probably isn't capable of physical action, so I won't get involved.
The atmosphere here was extremely friendly, but on the other side, the Wang family was in turmoil because of Wang Dachui's injury.
Mrs. Wang was nearly going crazy, tearing at her own hair and shouting, "It was Xu Yu who did this! It was him who did this!"
"He admitted it to me. He did it!"
Old Magistrate Wang was crying miserably beside his unconscious son's bed. Upon hearing this, he cursed Xu Yu and prayed to the Buddha, repeating the same words over and over again. He wanted to make a fuss but unfortunately he couldn't find any place to do so.
When the village chief brought people to chase them back, he had already said that if they continued to make trouble, they would be expelled from the village. The only capable man in the family was bedridden. No matter how angry they were, what could they do?
Mrs. Wang was unwilling to give up and wanted to find someone for help, but people hated the dog to such an extent, who would be willing to lend a hand?
The crying sounds lingered over the Wang family day and night. As the festive day of New Year's Eve approached, people passing by the Wang family's door would look gloomy when they heard the crying sounds and would hurried away.
Amid the desperate cries and outcries of the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Xu family's impending troubles finally became clear.
All the seedlings that could be saved had been planted in the fields. After two days of observation, the situation was still okay. Everyone in the family, young and old, who had been working hard for many days, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Sang Zhixia withdrew her hand from pinching the seedling and said with a smile, "Since I couldn't get it out immediately, it shows that it has successfully taken root."
The emergency transplanting of rice seedlings has been completed, and the seedlings have taken root smoothly. If there are no more accidents, the work at hand will be much easier.
The breath of relief rolled around in his throat before it even came out, and when he swallowed it, a hint of hesitation appeared on Sang Zhixia's face.
She said, "Will the Wang family come to cause trouble again?"
It's no wonder she's wary, the main reason is that the Wang family really can't do anything.
The whole house is full of bastards.
