"Brother Mingqing, what happened?"
"Zhao Guiying's son-in-law was caught stealing wheat from the wheat field."
"Stealing wheat!"
"He's currently tied to the old locust tree in the wheat field and will be taken to the police station after daybreak."
Sun Jiaxue had never seen Sun Xiuhong before and asked, "Who was that girl just now?"
"She's Zhao Guiying's eldest daughter."
She didn't ask any further questions, as Yang Daya would definitely come to her tomorrow to tell her gossip.
After making a fuss for most of the night, Li Mingqing quickly fell asleep and slept until nine o'clock. Fortunately, he was off duty today.
When he came out of the room, he saw Yang Daya chattering non-stop.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard Sun Xiuhong's voice coming from outside.
"Hello! Is anyone home?"
After she came in, she saw the bicycle and was about to push it. There was a little old man standing next to it. He was her father-in-law, Old Man Wei.
"It's true that people from the same family don't enter each other's houses. How dare you come and steal things in broad daylight."
"Father-in-law, it's him. If it weren't for him, Brother Wei wouldn't have been caught."
There were so many people in the wheat field at that time, but they only looked for him and wanted to extort money.
Old Man Wei looked around the new house and said, "You seem to be a respectable person. My son was injured in your village, so you must pay compensation."
I have never seen such a shameless person. Today I have broadened my horizons.
Sun Jiaxue said, "Uncle, you are mistaken. It was your son who stole the food first."
"Who told you my son stole food? Xueyi was just out for a stroll. You people from Lijia Village beat someone up without reason. Shouldn't you pay compensation?"
"Jiaxue, go call the village chief and the team leader."
"Brother Mingqing, the village chief has gone to the police station. I'm going to call the captain."
As soon as she went out, she saw the captain coming towards her aggressively.
"Captain, someone came to our house to extort money."
Old Man Wei looked at the newcomer and said, "You must be the captain, right? I've seen you before."
"What are you doing at the Li family? Everything will be decided by the police station."
"Who knows if the police station is in collusion with you? My son is really pitiful. He came to visit his father-in-law's house and was falsely accused of stealing food."
Li Mingqing said, "I see you miss your son. You are blackmailing me. Do you want to reunite with your son at the police station?"
"At my age, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Are you trying to scare me? No way."
"Why didn't I choke you to death? The police will be here soon, just wait here."
"You come here and you think the police station is owned by your family. You really think you are some big shot."
Seeing his rogue behavior, the captain said, "Leave quickly. I'm telling you outside that the Li family kid was wrong to treat your son's wound with good intentions. At his age, he's really regressing."
"Captain, you really think you're a nobody. I'm not from Li Village, so why should I listen to you?"
With Sun Hongxiu standing behind, there was no one her father-in-law couldn't deal with.
Old man Wei has always been a reckless person and is notorious.
Li Mingqing would not tolerate his bad habits and simply dragged him out the door.
Sun Xiuhong never thought that he would hit the old man.
"How can a grown man like you attack an old man who is powerless? You have lost your conscience!"
"Old man? It really fits the saying that old people without morals bring disaster to their descendants. He is disrespectful to the elderly and takes advantage of his seniority. I just kicked him out. This is my family and I have the final say."
Yang Daya clapped her hands and cheered, "Well done!"
Old man Wei lay down and said, "Ouch, I hurt my waist."
"Father-in-law, are you okay? The people in Li Village are bullying others by taking advantage of their power and are not afraid of being laughed at."
The captain said, "Mingqing, go back to your room. It's no longer your business."
If I hadn't called Li Mingqing over last night, I wouldn't have been blackmailed. This was originally a village matter.
"Uncle, it's okay. I think it's going to be fun. Who doesn't like to watch monkey shows?"
Passing villagers cursed: "How shameless! Call the village chief and team leader of Weijia Village. The villagers did such a disgusting thing."
"That's right, why don't you steal from your own village?"
"Not beating that kid to death is already merciful enough. He must not be let off for stealing food."
"Last year, a thief in Zhaojia Village was beaten half to death for stealing grain. He's still in jail."
"The Wei family kid was only tied up for one night, which was really a bargain for him."
"Only the villagers here are kindhearted. Otherwise, they would have given it a good beating. It's a nuisance to others."
When Old Man Wei saw so many people gathered around him, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of arousing public anger and getting beaten up.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sun Xiuhong tried hard to be invisible.
Zhao Guiying passed by without even stopping.
Although Old Man Wei was old, his eyesight was very good. He immediately shouted, "Mother-in-law, you have to testify for Xueyi. This is all a misunderstanding. My Xueyi is a man of noble character and absolutely impeccable as a human being."
After hearing this, she wanted to go over and sew Old Man Wei's mouth shut.
Originally, the villagers' conflict was not about her, but after she said this, she was in cahoots with the Wei family.
How could the villagers tolerate her?
"What are you talking about, you old man? Who is your mother-in-law? I don't have a relative like you."
"Xiuhong, listen to what your mother is saying."
"You are not my daughter either. No one is as deceiving as you."
Zhao Guiying didn't sleep all night last night and finally figured it out. It was obvious that this was a plan between her daughter and the Wei family, and they didn't care about her life or death at all.
Li Mingqing watched the two people arguing heatedly from the side with great joy.
As expected, they are relatives, evenly matched.
This is the first time I’ve seen an old man curse more than an old woman.
Sun Xiuhong said, "Mom, can't you just let my husband and dad go? Why are you talking so harshly?"
