Chapter 63: Don’t forget your roots (2/2)



Even the clothes, pants and shoes I wore out last night were all soaked in water when I came back in the evening, and I planned to wash them immediately after getting up.

No matter what Li Cuihong said, Village Chief Wang would have people search the west wing.

Xu Jiang and Xu He raised their hands enthusiastically. After Village Chief Wang agreed, the two of them ran into Li Cuihong's room.

Qian Chunhua trusted these two people. If they didn't find anything, it could only mean that the silly woman Li Cuihong knew how to destroy evidence.

From Zhao Xiaojuan's words and Li Cuihong's performance just now, Qian Chunhua could judge that the lime in his own field was worked by Li Cuihong's family.

Although I won't use that piece of land to grow crops myself, it's one thing not to grow crops myself, and it's another thing to be unable to grow crops because of someone else's conspiracy.

Farmland is the foundation of farmers. From my own memory, I know that if anyone is caught destroying farmland, he will be severely punished by the laws of the country, and in serious cases he will be beheaded.

But is there any way to get evidence that Li Cuihong and her friends destroyed their own land? Qian Chunhua started to think about the source of the quicklime.

We need to send someone to the place in the county where quicklime is sold to inquire. As long as the guy there can identify that it was Zhao Yongqiang or Li Cuihong who went to his house to buy lime, that will explain the situation.

Seeing this, Qian Chunhua understood that what Village Chief Wang asked Xu Tao to do just now should be this matter. Xu Tao was not seen in the crowd yet, so he might not have returned yet.

Although the county seat is not far from Huanghualing, it still takes an hour to go back and forth.

After thinking clearly about the village chief's plan, Qian Chunhua was no longer in a hurry. He watched Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong's performance calmly. The more innocent they acted now, the more painful it would be when they were exposed.

After listening to what Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong said, Village Chief Wang remained expressionless and looked at Zhao Daqing and the others.

Zhao Daqing remained silent. From the villagers' discussions, he knew what had happened.

When Li Cuihong and her family went out last night, the sound of opening and closing the courtyard door actually woke them up, as the old man was a light sleeper.

Zhao Daqing didn't know what they were doing at that time, and he still didn't know now, but it turned out that they were going to do something bad.

Zhao Daqing shook his head in disappointment and looked at Village Chief Wang. "Village Chief Wang, it was too cold last night. My wife and I stayed in bed as soon as it got dark. We didn't go out, and we don't know what happened outside."

Although Zhao Daqing was extremely disappointed with the boss's family, he finally chose to hide the truth for them.

Mother Zhao looked up at her husband, sighed slightly, and lowered her head again. She was disappointed with everyone in this family.

Seeing this, Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong gradually regained their confidence and stood firm. They believed that as long as they denied it, the matter would be over.

Village Chief Wang looked at Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong and asked, "Do you know what crime is associated with destroying farmland?"

Zhao Yongqiang straightened his back and nodded confidently, "I know, I definitely know. Destroying farmland is a capital crime. We won't do that."

Village Chief Wang nodded. "It's good to know. It's good to know. What we farmers fear most is forgetting our roots, forgetting who we are, and doing things that destroy our roots."

Zhao Yongqiang smiled flatteringly, "Don't worry, Village Chief. Our ancestors have all been farmers for generations, and we dare not forget our roots."

Patriarch Zhao nodded with satisfaction. It was good that it wasn't done by the Zhao family. If it was really done by the Zhao family, I'm afraid the Zhao family would not tolerate them.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Xu Tao's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

He appeared in the yard with the guy selling lime. The moment the guy appeared, Zhao Yongqiang's smile froze on his face. How could he have forgotten about this?

Suddenly, Zhao Yongqiang collapsed to the ground like mud.
