Chapter 15

I don't know how long it took, Xue Dahai came out of the room with a dark face, walked in front of Mrs. Zheng with trembling hands, even his lips trembled slightly, "Is this what you saw?"

"That's it!" Zheng said firmly.

Xue Dahai walked to his son with the ring again, and asked, "Is this the ring you lost?"

Ertou had already been frightened and stupid, and at this time, he would honestly say what others asked.

"Yes...I accidentally lost it." The second voice said like a mosquito.

Xue Dahai took a deep breath, his eyes were full of disappointment when he looked at Mrs. Meng, he seemed to have lost a lot all of a sudden, and walked in front of old man Mu with heavy steps, "Brother Mu, it's a total of two taels of silver, right?"

Suddenly hearing a choked up voice from a big man, old man Mu was a little at a loss for a while, and nodded in a daze.

"Wait, I'll get it for you right now."

"If you dare to give them the surname Xue, I will fight you hard."

Meng shi couldn't help but grab Xue Dahai's arm, and when she met his sharp eyes, Meng thumped in her heart, but she still grabbed Xue Dahai and refused to let him go.

Xue Dahai felt infinite grief in his heart, thinking that his mother's death was related to his mother-in-law, he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

But his mother-in-law not only didn't have any remorse or guilt, she didn't even have a shred of shame. Things have come to this point, and she shamelessly refused to return the money to others.

Xue Dahai roughly brushed Meng's hand away, glaring and said: "I still want to show some face."

Everyone looked at Xue Dahai who suddenly became tough with question marks on their faces. You must know that Xue Dahai was famously afraid of women in the village. In the past, only the Meng family bullied Xue Dahai. Excuse me.

Even just now, Meng Shi punched and kicked him, scratching Xue Dahai's face, but Xue Dahai didn't dare to resist.

But what happened now?
The two turned around.

Xue Dahai dared to resist the Meng family!

Everyone was confused, feeling that there must be something unknown in it, but they dared not ask.

Everyone has their own ghosts.

Mu Qing secretly gave Mu Li a wink: get the money later and hurry back.

Mu Li gave him a "good" look in return.

Old man Mu was also in a bad mood, looking at this posture, it looked like a group of them were bullying the Meng family. When he thought of this, he wanted to go home quickly.

And what about Mengshi?

At this time, his heart was beating like a drum, and his temples were throbbing.

Where can the family get two taels of silver now?

She ran into her eldest brother at the market today and gave him more than one or two liang of silver stolen from Mu's house. She bought some of the rest for meat and some of it for fabric, and planned to give it to her family. Everyone has new clothes.

The money is gone, although she can use her own money to make up for it, but the money the family has earned over the years has been donated to her natal family, so how can she get two taels of money?
She has been hiding it from Xue Dahai.

It was because he was afraid that he would fight himself desperately.

But it's too late now.

Meng couldn't hold back Xue Dahai at all, and could only watch him go to get the money.

Xue Dahai knew where the family's money was kept. He opened the box next to the bed, took out a box from it, and opened the box to get money from it.

But the moment he opened the box, he was shocked on the spot.

These years he lived frugally. In addition to doing farm work, he also went to the county town to find some odd jobs to earn some money during the slack. After these years, he also made a lot of money, although he was not the wealthiest one in the village. Dialing, it should also be at the upper-middle level.

But what did he see now?
The box, which should have been filled to the brim, now only had a penny and dozens of copper coins lying quietly inside.

Xue Dahai counted, and there were only 130 five Wen.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore, took the silver and went to question Meng Shi: "Tell me! What's going on here?"

"Where did all the money I earned all these years go?"

"Where did you take all my money?"

Mrs. Meng took a step back, and said a little lack of confidence, "Of course it's spent on food and drink for the family. You just do your work and don't care about it. Of course you don't know how much it costs."

Xue Dahai clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged, as if if you don't tell the truth, I will be rude to you.

Meng Shi was frightened, and her voice became weaker, "Some of them helped my natal family."

After speaking, she dared not look at Xue Dahai.

"Part of it?" Xue Dagai said in a high voice, angrily, "I think you took all the money from the family and gave it to your elder brother?"

"Your elder brother is a piece of trash! Mud can't support a wall!"

"Xue Dahai!" Meng Shi glared at him angrily, "Keep your mouth clean! I won't allow you to say that about my brother!"

"Snapped!"

Meng's eyes were staring from the beating, and she grinned her teeth in pain, looking at Xue Dahai, from the anger just now, to panic in an instant.

"Your brother is an unrepentant gambler! When we first got married, I made so much money for him. I took all the money left to me by my parents to pay off your brother's debts."

"But what about your brother? Don't repent, keep gambling! How did you promise me at the beginning? You said that you would never use my money to pay your brother's debts again. It's good now, you are behind my back and took my hard-earned money." Take all the money and give it to your brother!"

"What the hell do you take me for?!"

The crowd mourned.

After calming down, Xue Dahai pulled his hair fiercely, with a painful face. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Where did you put the money you asked for from Brother Mu's house? Find it now and return it to Mu quickly." Brother."

Her cheeks were red and swollen, and Mengshi moved her body.

Xue Dahai is honest and dull-tempered. During the years of being married to him, he has never said anything loudly to him. He listened to him in everything. Even when he was asked to save her elder brother with all his possessions, he never complained. .

However, when his brother-in-law came to ask them for money several times, Xue Dahai would get angry no matter how good-tempered he was.

So Meng didn't dare to help her elder brother repay the debts in the open, and had been secretly giving money to her elder brother all these years.

After being discovered by Xue Dahai this time, Meng Shi knew that she was wrong, and with the slap just now, Meng Shi felt a little afraid of him, and didn't dare to stab him again, but she was also afraid that Xue Dahai would meet again after she finished speaking. hit.

Meng Shi hugged her head, whispered tremblingly: "No...no more."

Old man Mu almost fainted.

"I'm going to the market today. I... met my brother. He was in trouble, so I gave him some money. I bought some meat and some cloth for the rest of the money."

Old man Mu was very angry. He glared at Meng Shi: "I've been talking for three days! Three days! You can find the truth in three days! Why can't you bear it for three days?"

Two or two... all gone.

Old man Mu's face was ashen, and Mu Qing was supporting him beside him, his expression was not looking good, looking at Meng Shi's gaze, he wished to poke her into a hornet's nest.

Mu Li frowned.

Bai Yuanshan usually can't understand Meng Shi's face, now seeing her like this, he is even more annoyed by her, he looked at Xue Dahai and said: "How much money can I give?"

Xue Dahai's face was ashes, and he spread his big hands forward, "There are only 130 five Wen left."

"Brother Mu, take the money back first, and then give me some time. I will find a way to return the rest of the money to you."

Old Man Mu sighed heavily.

"Ugh."

"You are a good boy."

It's just marrying an unhappy woman.

Old Man Mu took the money, broke the rope that strings the money, took out a part and put it in Xue Dahai's hands, and said heavily: "Half of it for each person, you have to live, you can't live without money, pay back the rest of the money slowly. "

Xue Dahai suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.

Mu Li and Mu Qing saw what their father did, neither of them said anything, Mu Xuan moved his lips a few times, seeing that his brothers and sisters didn't say anything, he didn't say anything.

It's just that his mouth is pouted, and he is secretly sulking.

Some of the villagers who watched the fun were genuinely sympathetic to Old Man Mu's family, some were just watching the fun, and some felt that Old Man Mu was too kind to treat them so well.

Mu Li didn't know what the villagers were thinking, and she didn't dare to be interested in it. She walked up to Meng Shi and knelt down, reminding her, "You haven't apologized to my brother yet."

Meng Shi stared at Mu Li fiercely, and Mu Li looked at her calmly, which invisibly brought enormous pressure on her. Meng Shi went from being annoyed at first, to being unwilling, to giving in, and finally being reluctant. Say sorry.

Ertou's apology didn't go unnoticed either.

So under the witness of the whole village, Mu Xuan regained his innocence and took off his thief hat.

Everything seems to be the same again, and everything seems to have changed again.
