Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 16

Jiang Erya continued: "Fang Jianren felt unwilling after paying the money, and the moment he got the settlement document, he gritted his teeth and thought about stealing the money back.

But he was so careless that he subconsciously murmured what was in his heart, and I overheard him.

I set this trap..."

Jiang Erya said it with a serious face, as if it was true.

Jiang Erniu was the first to write.The neighbors believed it too.

Fang Jianren began to doubt himself: "Did I really say what I said at that time?"

Jiang Erya nodded.

Then, she told everyone about the preparations she made to catch Fang Jianren.

The stone fence outside the courtyard wall, the spiked firewood growing inside the courtyard wall, the locked courtyard gate, the bench, the trap outside the bench...

Fang Jianren beat his chest regretfully, step by step, if he pays more attention and changes his course, he won't fall into her trap as she imagined.

Especially the last step, the bench is so strangely placed.

How can there be such a good thing?He wanted to escape, and there happened to be a bench for him to step on?
Fang Jianren was full of regrets, but Jiang Erniu was very proud. His Erya's brains are so good.

He touched Jiang Erya's head and said, "You should have told us earlier, even if others don't believe you, I will believe you.

Although I can't think of such a good way to catch this kid, at least I can help you dig a hole together. "

Someone reminded Jiang Erniu and Jiang Erya: "The man has already caught, quickly check to see if there are any missing.

By the way, why didn't Lao Jiangtou and his wife come out after such a big commotion? "

Jiang Erya said: "They have fallen into the mist."

Aunt Zhao, the neighbor next door who has always been at odds with Mrs. Jiang, her eyes lit up: "I heard that people who are addicted to cigarettes don't need to take medicine, just splash cold water to wake up."

Aunt Zhao said so, eager to try.Mrs. Jiang is always against her. She has long wanted to splash footwash on Mrs. Jiang's face.You can't splash the water for washing your feet, but you can also splash cold water.

Jiang Erya pretended to be serious and said: "Well, I've heard of it too.

However, neither my dad nor I know how to splash it.

Can you splash it?Why don't you work hard and teach us? "

Aunt Zhao readily agreed.

The first scoop of cold water was splashed on her face, and Mrs. Jiang woke up with a start.

Aunt Zhao also saw that she was awake, but she pretended not to see it, and poured a few more spoonfuls on Mrs. Jiang's face in one breath.

This splash of cold water is really refreshing!
Mrs. Jiang had just woken up from the last ladle of water, and was dazzled by the next ladle of water.Finally, she wiped the water off her face, gritted her teeth and called Aunt Zhao's name: "Song, Chun, Hua!"

Aunt Zhao responded crisply: "Hey!"

"There are thieves in your house, and you have been caught in smoke. I am helping you. Thank you, no need. I have something to do at home. I will go back first."

Mrs. Zhao stuffed the water ladle in her hand to Jiang Erniu: "Old Jiangtou, you can pour it yourself, just do as I did just now."

Seeing that Jiang Erniu was in a daze, Aunt Zhao said again: "Don't worry, this trick will definitely work.

Look at your Mrs. Jiang, she was woken up by me splashing like this.

I can do it, so can you! "

Aunt Zhao blinked at Jiang Erniu, and then walked away refreshed.

Jiang Erniu looked at Old Jiangtou complicatedly, and with unspeakable grievance and anger, he poured five or six ladles of water on Old Jiangtou's face.

Jiang Erniu poured it too thickly, and the cold water on Old Jiangtou's face never stopped. When Old Jiangtou woke up, he thought he had fallen into the river, and was so frightened that he almost forgot how to breathe.

He scratched his limbs messily and sat up from the bed in shock.

When he reacted, he immediately yelled at Jiang Erniu: "What are you doing? Are you crazy? How dare you splash water on my face?"

He stared at Jiang Erniu, thinking, does Erniu already know that he and his wife are going to sell Erya?
Jiang Erniu trembled, threw the water ladle on the ground, and explained: "Fang Jianren has come to steal our money box. You have been caught in the smoke, and Mrs. Zhao next door said that you need to splash water to wake up."

"What? The thief stole my money box?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately broke free from the daze she had just woken up from the smoke, and rushed to her bedside table.The cabinet door was open, but the money box inside was gone.

"My money-box, my silver—"

Mrs. Jiang just started to show off, and she was about to howl like a big show, Jiang Erya interrupted.

"Don't howl, the money box is with me, it hasn't been stolen."

Jiang Erya couldn't resist the system's "ding, ding, ding", fearing that the system would empty her blood tank again, so she reluctantly returned the money box to Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang snatched the money box from Jiang Erya.

When Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang saw that there was still a small lock hanging on the money box, and the weight hadn't become lighter, they felt a little more at ease.

Mrs. Jiang took out the key from a small hole under the bed, and wanted to open the money box to take an inventory, but was stopped by Mrs. Jiang.

Wealth is not revealed.

With so many neighbors craning their necks to watch, he couldn't show them his family fortune.

After reading it, what if they come to borrow money?Or, what if someone sees money and steals it at night like Fang Jianren?
The neighbors urged again: "Hurry up, open the box and see if there is any money!"

Old Jiangtou shook his hand and said, "No need to read, there is nothing missing."

Mrs. Jiang tightly held the money box in her hand: "That's right, not much, our family doesn't have much money left at all. Dongliang's studies cost money..."

The neighbor asked: "Are you sure there are no more?"

Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang nodded at the same time: "Sure, sure, very sure."

The neighbor said: "That's good. We have nothing else to do and we should go home. There is still a lot of work waiting after dawn."

Lao Jiang and his wife are not human beings on weekdays, and they have offended their neighbors all over the place.If it wasn't for Jiang Erya shouting fire, even if ten thieves broke into Lao Jiang's house at a time, the neighbors would not come to help.

Look at the defensiveness of the couple, as if the neighbors were going to rob their money box.

The neighbors didn't want to stay any longer, so as not to lose their appetite by watching the faces of the couple too much.

After the neighbors left, there were no outsiders in Lao Jiang's house except Fang Jianren, who was bound to death.

Mrs. Jiang ordered Jiang Erniu and Jiang Erya to gag Fang Jianren and lock him into the utility room.

She herself and Old Jiangtou locked the door tightly, took out the key to open the money box, and counted the belongings inside.

After clicking three times in a row, the couple looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everything is still there, indeed there is nothing missing."

Old Jiangtou said: "Let's hide things separately, put them all in the same box, it's easy to be taken away in one pot."

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "Well, listen to you."

Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang got busy.

They separated the things in the money box, hid them east and west, and remembered the location of those hidden things firmly, so they were relieved.

……

What they didn't know was that as soon as they hid the 15 taels of silver that Fang Jianren paid in a sauerkraut jar and sealed it, the 15 taels of silver were instantly transferred to Jiang Erya's system backpack.

It was half a month before they found out that the money was missing.
