"Alright, alright, I just said it casually. You are an old man, how can I dare to accept your apology. But uncle, don't wrongly accuse people in the future. It's not anyone. When someone searches my house, I have a good temper."
The villagers nodded, Liu Shunzi did a great job!
Seeing that there was nothing to watch and the Zhao family had been almost completely robbed, everyone began to disperse. They still had to wander around the bamboo forest and pick some bamboo shoots; making money was the real thing.
The village chief also raised his foot and prepared to leave. He was annoyed so much so early in the morning.
"Village chief, the thief who stole our house hasn't been found yet. It doesn't seem right for you to leave like this, right?"
The village chief looked at the old man impatiently, "What else? Uncle Zhao, what else do you want?"
"It must be the village chief who sent someone to help me find the thief!" said the old man confidently.
"Here I am. It's no problem what you said. But, after all the commotion in your house, who will help chase the thief? After so long, no one knows where the thief ran off to. How can we find him? Scholar, what do you think?"
Old Zhao was very upset. What on earth were going on in his parents' minds? This was clearly a matter that his family was responsible for, but now they acted as if it was their fault that the things were lost.
"What the village chief said is absolutely right. We were wrong in what happened today. We are also one of the people who lost things."
He remembered it.
Village chief, from now on, you’re dead!
"Boss!"
Boss Zhao didn't even look at the old man and left in a huff.
"father!"
Zhao Laoer looked at him worriedly.
"Forget it, village chief, go back."
The village chief turned and left without hesitation.
Everyone left and the yard became quiet again.
The whole family sat in the living room, staring at each other in frustration. Finally, Zhao Laoer couldn't help it and said, "Dad, we can't afford to eat at home, and the children haven't eaten yet." You can endure missing a meal, but what about lunch and dinner?
Li added in her mind: How can I lift the lid even though the pot is gone?
The old man looked at Old Sun and said, "Go get some silver for the second son and ask him to go to town to buy food and pots."
Old Sun's face was very long. "I have no money. If they are hungry, they can just eat me." As she said this, she covered her face and began to cry. Later, she sat on the ground and cried while clapping her hands. She cried so hard that her heart was broken, and her tears and snot were everywhere.
"When you've cried enough, get up and get the silver."
The old woman paused in her crying. After being married for decades, she could hear the anger and forbearance in the old man's voice. He woke up, wiped his nose, and struggled to stand up from the ground. Silver, silver, doesn’t he know how much money is left at home? The big iron pot is so expensive, I may not be able to use it after buying it.
Thinking of the big iron pot in my house before, tears started to flow down my face again. Which shameless bitch stole the big iron pot in her house? Wow, that was something she and her old man saved up for a long time to buy, and they have used it for decades.
Boss Zhao was filled with chills at the moment. His house had been robbed, so how could he ask his parents for travel expenses? He also had no hope for his mother-in-law, so what should he do? Not enough silver? Or, don’t take the exam?
The old man, who had lost confidence from the beginning, backed out again.
He felt that this was God's will. God told him that he was not suitable to take the exam this time. He should wait for two more years to review.
The children were growling with hunger, but seeing the adults with unfriendly faces, they knew what to do and kept quiet. Now that they were making a fuss, the only thing they could eat was the rattan whip.
