Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 11

There is a sycamore tree planted in the courtyard of Baiyuan Mountain. When it is hot, the whole family likes to enjoy the shade under the tree, but the coolness is not determined by whether there is a shady place or not.

There is no wind in the shade and there is no wind, and it is hot and stuffy.

Even if there is a shaded place and the wind blows up, it won't work. The wind in summer is warm and hot, and what it brings is not cool, but scorching heat.

In short, it is not easy to find a good cool place.

Bai Yuanshan nestled in a bamboo rocking chair, lying under a tree to enjoy the shade, slowly shaking the cattail fan with one hand, looking very comfortable, if the sweat on Bai Yuanshan's forehead was ignored.

There was a sudden chill on his neck, something fell off, Bai Yuanshan subconsciously touched it, took a closer look, it turned out to be a black bug, he threw it away without thinking.

"Uncle Bai."

Bai Yuanshan poked his head out from the rocking chair and saw Mu Qing approaching. Even his coarse brown clothes couldn't hide his arrogance. Bai Yuanshan got up from the rocking chair with a smile and walked towards him with a cattail fan, "Ah Qing is here. But what's the matter?"

Mu Qing seldom comes to visit Bai Yuanshan's house, and on rare days, Xiumu also studies at home, or helps with some farm work, so seeing Mu Qing come to look for him at home, Bai Yuanshan is still a little surprised.

But Ping'an Village has no secrets at all, what happened yesterday evening has already been heard by Bai Yuanshan.

As the Lizheng of Ping'an Village, he has the responsibility and obligation to mediate the relationship between neighbors, but by coincidence, he went to the county town to do some errands yesterday, and when he came back, it was already dark.

He still listened to what his wife said about "stealing the gold ring".

"Uncle Bai, I need your help with something."

Being respected and treated politely by Mu Qing, Bai Yuanshan is also satisfied and proud of being upright, and he likes Mu Qing even more, and his attitude is even better.

"Just speak up if you have anything to say." Bai Yuanshan said cheerfully, "You can be polite with Uncle Bai, as long as Uncle Bai can help, Uncle Bai will definitely help."

Seeing that Bai Yuanshan is so easy to talk, Mu Qing saved a lot of trouble, he went straight to the point and said: "Uncle Bai, I would like to invite you to Aunt Meng's house to host an event tonight, you just need to stand by and watch If the scene is chaotic, Uncle Bai is required to maintain order on the scene."

Bai Yuanshan understood as soon as he heard it, "Is this the real thief?"

"Found it." Mu Qing said with a smile.

"Who stole that?" Bai Yuanshan was surprised, he didn't expect Mu Qing's speed to be so fast.

"Uncle Bai will know who it is then."

Bai Yuanshan said: "Succeed, then this matter is on Uncle Bai's shoulders. Mrs. Meng doesn't understand the situation, so she comes to your house to make troubles indiscriminately, and spread rumors everywhere to make troubles. We can't just let it go."

"A real thief can't just spare him so easily, he must be taught a lesson this time."

From Muli's side, before he reached Aunt Liu's house, he could smell a foul smell from afar. At first, Muli thought it was from another house, but the closer he got, the stronger the smell became.

There was a strong stench in the air.

The yard of Mrs. Liu's house was quiet, without a single figure. Mu Li pinched her nose, stood outside the fence and looked in. She called, "Ms. Liu, is Mrs. Liu at home?"

"Who?"

Aunt Liu's voice came from the toilet.

"I'm Ali."

Hearing Aunt Liu's voice, Mu Li walked in while answering.

Aunt Liu came out of the latrine with a flower cloth under her nose. Seeing that Mu Li was still walking towards her, she hurriedly waved her hand to stop her, "Son, don't come here. I'm digging excrement in the latrine. My body stinks. Get away from me quickly."

Mu Li frowned, no wonder it smelled so bad.

"Ms. Liu, let me help you."

Human feces are good fertilizers for crops. When a certain amount is reached, every household will transport them to the ground. The same is true for her family, but her father does this work every time, and it is also her father. Responsible for transporting it to the field, but I have never done it myself.

However, one must have an attitude when asking for help. Aunt Liu is currently busy, so she should help.

"Oh, silly boy, how could the aunt let you do this?" No matter whether Mu Li would help her dig the excrement or not, Aunt Liu was very happy when she heard what Mu Li said, "You child, I won't let you do this." You have to come here, don’t you feel panicked because of the stink?”

"It stinks." Mu Li pinched his nose, stood in front of Aunt Liu, said with a smile, "But Auntie smells good."

Aunt Liu looked confident, and said with a smile: "Is it because of the Meng family's business that I came to the house to find my aunt?"

Mu Li giggled, "Ma'am is smart, she guessed my reason for coming right away."

"I heard that Auntie Meng and Auntie Meng are from the same village, so I wanted to ask if Auntie Meng's natal family really gave Auntie Meng a golden ring."

Aunt Liu sneered when she heard the words, "What gold ring? You can't eat enough, and you can't even wear warm clothes. Where can you find the spare money to buy a gold ring?"

"Then Mrs. Meng deliberately blackmailed you. If I had been at the scene yesterday, that stinky woman of Mrs. Meng would not dare to spout nonsense."

There was a piece of cloth under her nose, and Aunt Liu was a little out of breath after a while, she lifted her hand and pulled the cloth off, the stench in the air was all over her nostrils, Aunt Liu pulled Mu Li away run outside.

The two of them didn't go far, and stopped at the gate of Aunt Liu's house. Aunt Liu fanned the air back and forth with one hand, "Mother, it really stinks."

Mu Li asked: "It's not a gold ring, is that a silver ring?"

According to what San Aunt said, Mrs. Lanlan saw Mengshi take out a silver ring from the chicken belly, but Mengshi said that it was a gold ring. Now I don’t know if the silver ring in the chicken belly is what Mengshi said. A "Golden Ring."

"What silver ring and gold ring? When Mrs. Meng married, she only brought a washbasin and a quilt, nothing else."

"It was so difficult for Meng's brother to get married back then. Her parents couldn't even afford the gift money, so in the end they gave the girl ten catties of cotton and a piece of pork that was about one catty as the bride price for marrying another girl."

"The son is almost unable to marry a wife, and the Meng family's parents are willing to make a gold ring for the daughter? People will die of laughter if you say it."

"Besides, gold and silver are so precious, they are not something ordinary people like us would have; besides, country people are busy working in the fields all day, so how can they use rings? Wearing rings to work is more convenient. ?"

"The ring is neither useful nor edible. It's better to keep it and exchange it for some silver."

Mrs. Liu's words are reliable.

Things became clearer and clearer, and what was certain was that Mrs. Meng didn't have a so-called gold ring, nor did she have a so-called dowry from her natal family. Everything was fabricated by her in order to extort money.

It's just... what happened to that silver ring?
Could it be that Meng bought it for herself after she got married?

Mu Li thought about it, and it was not impossible.

But none of that matters anymore.

Judging from the current investigation, Mu Xuan's innocence has been proved. At that time, all these witnesses need to come forward to testify, and the Meng family will have nothing to say.

Thinking of this, Mu Li looked at Aunt Liu with an extremely serious and respectful attitude, "Auntie, I will go to Aunt Meng's house this evening to get back the two taels of silver from my house, and you will need to go to the scene to prove to me at that time."

"It proves that Aunt Meng doesn't have a gold ring, and her natal family didn't accompany her to give her a gold ring."

Aunt Liu said with a sense of justice: "Don't worry, my aunt is on your side in this matter, and she will definitely help you. Don't let the Meng family bully people too much. Let's see what happens in our village all day long. It's Meng who is mean-spirited and nonsense everywhere, and now she's blackmailing you, so I have to teach her a lesson this time."
