The Zhao brothers were also stunned. Their little sister brought back silver? But her earrings were gone too?
When did this happen?
They had no idea!
Since their father had injured his leg, it was naturally convenient for them, as his sons, to take care of him. So they spent most of their time watching over their father, and because they were in a bad mood, they didn't pay attention to anything else!
They knew that their younger sister and brother-in-law had come in an oxcart to fulfill their filial duty, so they didn't say anything and did their best to entertain them.
At other times, they really have no idea what's happening outside!
That night, the wife said that her younger sister's husband insisted on keeping watch, so they went back to their own room to sleep.
When her younger sister's husband went back home, they didn't think much of it. After all, their younger sister was married and wanted to go back to her own home. What was wrong with that? So they let her go back.
Now, when asked about the silver earrings, how would they know anything about it?
If they didn't do it, then it must be...
The brothers all thought of the same thing at the same time and looked at their wives!
Luo and Liu felt their hearts were about to jump out of their chests. What kind of look was that? It was icy and cold.
The two sisters-in-law were so frightened by the look in their husband's eyes that they broke out in a cold sweat! They had never seen their husband look like that before!
Is suspicion falling on them?
Unfortunately, even if the Zhao brothers knew something, they didn't say anything. Clearly, they didn't want to air their dirty laundry in public and wanted to deal with it behind closed doors!
Luo and Liu weren't fools; they immediately understood that their husbands were covering for them and wouldn't reveal their identities. Their confidence instantly returned.
Luo said matter-of-factly, "Who knows if she lost it herself? Don't blame everything on the Zhao family! We don't know!"
Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!
But Luo dared not say it!
Su Nanxi watched coldly, and naturally saw it all clearly. She also knew that the Luo family would definitely turn the tables on her, but it was just a little bluff, and incidentally, it made them suspect each other.
Using someone else's father and sister-in-law as a raft, the Zhao brothers, if they had any blood in their veins, would not tolerate it!
To doubt this kind of thing, you don't need many materials, just a seed, because this thing has a very strong vitality and will take root and sprout very quickly once planted!
She, Su Nanxi, had no intention of breaking up anyone's marriage; she was simply seeking justice!
"Heh! I knew you wouldn't admit it! I certainly have no right to interfere in my second sister-in-law's family affairs, but I'm going to take care of my ox to the end! Whoever hurt my ox knows in their hearts! Don't blame me for not reminding you, this ox is registered, it's not something anyone can just take away! It's mine, if you dare to touch my ox, you'll have to go to the county government office to have tea with the magistrate without an explanation!"
Su Nanxi spoke so casually, as if she didn't care at all, but her words carried weight and struck the hearts of the Zhao family.
They didn't understand what it meant to ask the county magistrate for tea, but they knew it was definitely not a good thing!
Is the county magistrate's tea really that good?
The onlookers were also discussing it, saying they no longer believed anything the Zhao family said, that not a single word they said was true!
"Report this to the authorities! Bring these people to justice! They're too arrogant!"
"Exactly! Why not just go to the county government and find out the truth? Why bother arguing with those liars! Not a single word they say is true! They'll do anything for their own benefit! Our village doesn't welcome people like that!"
"Yes! Get back to your village right now! Don't corrupt the younger generation in our village! If they all learn to scheme like you, our village will be doomed sooner or later!"
"We haven't figured it out yet, how can we just let them get away with it like that? Intentionally injuring a cow means paying compensation and going to jail. Do you think you can get away with it so easily? There's no such thing as a free lunch! If people can do bad things without being punished in the future, then that person will definitely commit countless crimes!"
"Yes! We have to bear the consequences!"
...
The Zhao brothers' faces turned completely black; they were furious!
They're not trying to anger the masses, they're trying to anger their own wives. They've really grown up, each one of them causing trouble!
Do you want to bring down the Zhao family before you're satisfied?
Even Old Man Zhao, who was lying on the board, was trembling with anger and could barely lie still, but he couldn't get up even though he wanted to!
The Zhao brothers, who were keeping a close eye on their father, naturally noticed this. Worried that their father would be upset, they didn't want to linger and just wanted to leave as soon as possible!
Old Zhao gritted his teeth, put on a show of goodwill, and said to Su Nanxi in a very amicable manner, "I swear to God, I really don't know who hurt this cow! But since it was like this after we came back from the Zhao family, we also have a responsibility, and I will definitely give the Mo family an explanation! But my father has been delayed here for too long, and I'm worried that his health can't take it. Could you let us take my father back first? We will absolutely not shirk our responsibility! We're not far away, our home is always there, we definitely can't run away, and we won't run away! Mute Mother, is that alright?"
Now that things have come to this point, if we disagree, wouldn't that make it seem like Su Nanxi is in the wrong?
I just can't bear to have a sick old man argue with me!
So, Su Nanxi waved his hand and agreed!
But I still have to be upfront about the unpleasant things first: "I'll trust you this time! I won't report this to the authorities for now! Go back and take care of your own affairs, don't drag this out and blame us if anything goes wrong! Remember to give us the explanations you owe! I'll remember, I can't help it, I think of you every day when I see cows! Also, when my second sister-in-law came back, she didn't say a word about her family to anyone. Don't think my second sister-in-law is easy to bully and that you can protect her in everything! She's my second sister-in-law, she's a member of the Mo family!"
The message has been made very clear: Zhao never said she insisted on bringing her father back to recuperate. Furthermore, Zhao is now a member of the Mo family, and she should ask the Mo family for their consent before she tries to bully anyone!
Anyone who isn't stupid can understand what he meant, and the Zhao brothers naturally understood as well, repeatedly saying they would definitely remember it!
No one objected. Since the mute girl was not going to pursue the matter for the time being, what else could they say?
Follow the mute woman's line of thought, and you can't go wrong!
Luo and Liu were very unwilling. They had already reached the gate of the Mo family, just one step away, but now they had to turn back!
How could they possibly be content with that!
However, once the husband has spoken, they have no say and can only listen to him. They can only do whatever the husband says!
The master and apprentice inside the wall secretly climbed the ladder and peeked out. They weren't satisfied with looking through the crack in the door, so they brought the ladder over. Wouldn't it be more impressive to look from the top of the wall?
With such a loud noise, how could they not hear it, since they're not deaf!
So the two of them skipped class, threw down their books, and rushed out, but they didn't dare go out, so they could only peek through the crack in the door!
Old Xu: What's that thing in Ugly Girl's hand? It looks really fun!
Mo Qinghe: My wife is awesome! My wife is so cool!
