Chapter 192 Temporary Retirement

Song Shi and He Shi were originally hugging Qiao Yun on the left and right, but upon hearing this, He gritted his teeth and stretched out his fingers to point at Qiao Hua, and said sharply: "It's all at this juncture, it's not obvious. Is it? Your old mother bought Mongolian sweat medicine earlier, and our Yuner passed out in the ruined temple afterwards. If this is not fed by your old mother, who fed it? You can deduce it by moving your toes, and you still want to quibble!"

"You also said that this is an inference. The inference is just your imagination after all, how can it be counted?" Qiao Hua has fallen into a desperate situation at this moment, and he is extremely calm at the moment, like a wolf hunting in the dark, Never let go of any breakthrough.

"You!" Mrs. He was furious, talking all over you for a long time, but couldn't refute.

The situation is now at an impasse.

Although the widow Qian who colluded with the confession in advance has been taken to live in the guest room of the county government, she cannot be invited here at this moment.Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that Qiao Yun bought someone out in advance?

In the plan of Qiao Yun and Meng Renfu, the people from the Yamen had to drive two carts, one was a donkey cart without a carriage, which was used to carry another prisoner, Li Shi; the other was a donkey cart with a carriage, which was parked at the At the door of Widow Qian's house.

On the one hand, they pretended to bring Widow Qian into the county government office, and on the other hand, they brought Widow Qian's children together.

After she had done such a great favor, she had to treat someone to a meal and give some nice gifts afterwards.

Seeing this, Meng Renfu asked the master beside him, "What time is it now?"

The master cupped his hands and said: "It's about six or seven o'clock in the afternoon! My lord, don't worry! Our people go to Baihe Village by car, not on horseback. It takes four hours to go back and forth, and we may have just gone halfway! It may not be until night when we come back.”

"Oh..." Meng Renfu nodded, and immediately ordered to leave the hall.

Can only stay until tomorrow to continue the trial.

As soon as the county magistrate left, Qiao Yun and the others relaxed a bit.He took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears, supported Qiao Yun, and said with concern, "Are you hungry? How about we go to Ding Shi Ji for lunch? Aunt invites you!"

Qiao Yun suddenly covered her stomach shyly: "To be honest, I just had a breakfast at his house this morning, and I'm not very hungry right now."

"You have to eat more if you're not hungry. You must be surprised." He took Qiao Yun's hand, looked at Yun Xuemei again, and said with a smile, "My lady, you can come too. The oil from Ding Shi Ji Fried chicken is only available at noon, and it will be gone if you go late. You don’t know, the fried chicken is crispy and rotten, and it’s not delicious.”

"Is it gourd chicken? My mother and I haven't eaten it for a long time, so I'm not welcome."

The four of Qiao Yun chatted and laughed, and they left the county government office together.

Qiao Zaohua on the side wanted to scream to stop Qiao Yun, but now she couldn't scream because of the burning pain in her cheeks, she could only hum in a mosquito-like voice.

"Third brother, I also want to eat gourd chicken..." Qiao Zaohua just moved her mouth, and immediately the pain was as painful as a knife, her tears burst out uncontrollably, and she cried.

The bad guys on the side came up to chase them away: "Go back to the prison!"

Qiao Hua knew that her mother must have something to tell her, so she had to bite the bullet and follow the others to the cell.

Several unscrupulous people on the road pointed at his back.

"Look, this is a scholar! Look at this long robe and this head, how impressive it is!"

"It's a pity that there is such a mother! Didn't you see the old lady in our county magistrate's mansion when she was still here? She is the most kind-hearted old lady, how can she look like this, hey! It's a hindrance to my son."

"They are all old ladies. The old lady in our county magistrate's mansion used to be illiterate, but there is no one in our county who has met her who does not respect and love her from the bottom of her heart. How can there be such a gap between people?"

"Or how can someone raise the son of a county magistrate? Looking at this, the scholar is probably the best."

These words made Qiao Hua's face turn pale.

He wanted to get angry.

But I can't find a reason.

Mrs. Lu and Qiao Zaohua were sent to the cell and locked the wooden gate. Mrs. Lu still felt sorry for Qiao Zaohua, who was weeping and faltering. She rushed to the railing and complained to Qiao Hua: "Your sister grows up to It’s so big, I’m not even willing to touch her with a finger, I’ve never been beaten, it’s all instigated by that bitch! And the second child, your sister and I have been arrested for so many days, and I haven’t seen the second child’s house Come and see me, a bunch of heartless people!"

Qiao Hua squatted outside the prison door, held back for a while, and said, "Mother, you are just too spoiled by my sister."

If it wasn't for her dirty mouth and unable to restrain her emotions, why would she be beaten?It doesn't matter how you scold in private, but it's in court!Swearing so vulgarly in front of the county magistrate is unreasonable even if it is justified!

"What are you talking about? Hua'er is the youngest of our family, I'm just such a girl, you're just such a girl, who doesn't love her? How can I get used to it after a little bit of pain?" Lu couldn't help it. She couldn't stop crying, "Besides, why am I spoiling her? Why don't I just let her eat two mouthfuls? You know what our family is like, and you have the heart to let your sister go hungry?"

Qiao Hua disagreed.

Mrs. Zheng told her about the distress of the second wife, and he also knew that it was wrong to run the family like this.The son once said that it is not a matter of scarcity but of inequality. The food in the family can clearly feed everyone without hunger or satiety, but mother wants to feed Qiao Zaohua alone even if others are hungry.

The second room obviously separated from the old lady.

In the past, there was a big house, Qiao Song was good at farming and hunting, and his sister-in-law Zhen was also good at housework, and she also had a dowry in her hand. With these two people who loyally provided property and labor, the family had abundant resources. No matter how eccentric she is, the family can maintain the balance on the surface.

But she was too terrific, and forced the family of the eldest brother and sister-in-law to ruin. This kind of killing of chickens and eggs completely deprived the family of a stable income. The second sister-in-law, Li Shi, saw that it was no good to continue to please her mother-in-law, so why is she still so angry?
But Qiao Hua couldn't get the accusation out of her mouth.

Firstly, filial piety oppresses others, and secondly, their third wife is also a beneficiary of Lu's eccentricity. How could he accuse his mother instead of being favored by his mother?
He fell into deep conflict and entanglement, and had no choice but to sigh: "Mom, I'll go buy you something to eat."

"Okay, let's go! Hua'er and I haven't even drank our saliva yet! Your sister has suffered so much, since she wants to eat that gourd chicken, you can buy her one to satisfy her hunger!"

Lu's tone could not be refused.

Qiao Hua had no choice but to go to Ding Shi Ji to buy gourd chicken.

Then his jaw dropped.

"460 Wen a piece? How is this price different from robbery?"

As soon as these words came out, Old Wu, the doctor of tea, didn't like to hear them anymore, and his face immediately fell down: "The shop has been here for four years, and it has been like this for four years! Recently, the shop has improved the formula without increasing the price. Well, this is the first time I heard people saying that we rob money, fresh!"

A light female voice came from the second floor: "If you don't have money, you still follow others to come to the restaurant? Some people don't even look at the occasion. Is this Ding Shi Ji comparable to a small street restaurant? The food is cheap, and those outsiders think it's lost share!"

It was He Shi who spoke.They specially chose a private room facing the street. They wanted to enjoy the scenery to change their mood, but they heard Qiao Hua's voice downstairs.

Qiao Hua was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed a handful of coins from his purse, counted them, and found that there were only more than 200 coins.But he went out in a hurry, and that was all there was to the whole body.

He looked at Old Wu: "Can I pay on credit? I'll pay half of it first, you write down the account, and I'll send the rest of the money later."

Old Wu was stunned: "The gourd chicken in the shop costs 460 renminbi, but there are also ordinary roast chickens for [-] renminbi a piece. Why do you have to buy that gourd chicken?"

Qiao Hua's face was very ugly, he said embarrassingly: "To be honest, my sister has never eaten calabash chicken from your store, so my mother asked me to buy one..."

"Seeing that you are also a scholar, why do you have to do such shameless things as credit?" Old Wu sneered, and lowered his voice: "The ordinary roast chicken in the shop is also very delicious, since your sister has never eaten gourd. Chicken, why don’t you just buy a chicken and fool around? Look at you, you paid for it yourself, right? Listen to my advice, you may not be able to eat this chicken when you buy it back. , why bother to do something thankless?"

Qiao Hua's face was colorful, and his heart was as complicated and chaotic as a tornado.

After a while, he made up his mind...
