During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 39 Disappointment
"How could it not be possible? You must have misunderstood. There is no food. What do they eat and drink?"

Jiang Ning, the great-great-grandson of the seventh uncle, said angrily: "There are two bowls of rice and a bowl of noodles in the kitchen. There is not a grain of food found in other places, and the yard has been cleaned cleanly."

Jiang Fei asked anxiously: "Have you found any beautiful bottles and jars that smell delicious?"

Jiang Ning didn't like Jiang Fei's look and said, "There are no beautiful bottles and jars, but I did see a few small boxes in Amiao's room. They were made of wood and had some paste-like things inside. , it does smell delicious.”

"Brother Luo's friend brought it back from abroad and gave it to Ah Miao. It's not available in the whole Yangliu Town. Second Aunt can't say it was stolen from their house." Jiang Qian explained calmly.

Li Peilan panicked, "It's impossible, you must not have checked carefully."

Those who can be selected by the clan leader are all the leaders of the younger generation in the village. Li Peilan's words are not only questioning Jiang Qian, but also questioning them.

Hearing this, several young people showed displeasure.

Li Peilan couldn't control that much, so she pushed everyone away and ran to the backyard. No one was more familiar with this place than her. She didn't even let go of the cellar inside and outside. She checked several times that it was indeed a grain of grain. None were found.

But she also discovered a problem, "You two must have hidden the food. Otherwise, how could the backyard be cleaned so clean? You must have a guilty conscience."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the people around him became very subtle.

Is this obviously unreasonable?

At this moment, Jiang Miao and Luo Tingye, who had left without knowing when, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, followed by a panting Jiang Hu. He went up and held down the grain bag in Jiang Miao's hand.

"Okay, you little girl, the liar is so brave, isn't he? He dares to take my family's food."

Jiang Miao didn't want to have any contact with him, so she quickly jumped to Luo Tingye and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please listen clearly. This food belongs to the second uncle and second aunt's family. There is still a lot of food in the cellar. Their family No food was lost at all.”

Jiang Hu didn't know about Jiang Yongguo and Li Peilan's visit to the big house. Hearing these words, he looked like a fool: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our family's food has not been lost."

Li Peilan and Jiang Yongguo thought to themselves, it's over, it's over!
Jiang Fei simply ran away when he saw this.

"Everyone has heard that their food was not lost." Jiang Miao glared at Li Peilan, "Auntie Second explains why your family's food was not lost, but she wants to accuse me and my eldest brother of stealing your food? Yes. Do you think eldest brother and I are easy to bully?"

Li Peilan and Jiang Yongguo were unable to stand when faced with everyone's disdainful looks.

Village Chief Jiang's face was livid. He was angry because the couple kept making troubles without saying anything and treating everyone as fools.

"Okay, since the food hasn't been lost, let's leave it at that."

"No." Jiang Miao said: "They have come to the house to cause trouble again and again. This time they accused us of stealing things. If they succeed, how will my eldest brother and I be able to gain a foothold in the village in the future? Today's incident , if the second uncle and second aunt don’t give us an explanation, then I will go to the government to file a complaint, saying that they slandered me.”

Village Chief Jiang was angry. Although Jiang Yongguo and Li Peilan did something wrong, it was really inappropriate for juniors to be so aggressive.

"Although what they did was wrong, what you did may not be right. Since you are going to the county to make money and do business, why don't you tell the people in the village, but instead go out early and come back late every day? Isn't this arousing suspicion?"

Jiang Miao laughed angrily and seriously wondered if the village chief had been kicked in the head by a donkey. When did he become so confused?

"The village chief was also there when the family was separated. Our family has no land, my eldest brother's leg is lame, and he was injured before. If I don't go out to find work, the whole family will suffer from the northwest wind. I won't Do you think there is any problem with this? Is it okay that I have to report everything to you? Is this the reason why they come to trouble us? "

Patriarch Jiang's veins were exposed on his forehead, "How dare you talk to me like that."

Luo Tingye laughed softly when he saw Village Chief Jiang using his status to press others, "Mr. Jiang, this matter has nothing to do with seniority. Even if it comes to the government, the government will not have any influence at all because of seniority. Biased, in my opinion, the whole thing is that Jiang Yongguo and his wife did not hesitate to slander their nephews and nieces for money. As the patriarch and village chief, you should uphold justice instead of confusing the public. If things go on like this, you will lose the hearts of the people."

Village Chief Jiang's face was ashen. Ever since he became the clan leader, no one had dared to talk to him like this, even the seventh uncle and the ninth uncle wanted to give him some face.

The Seventh Uncle sighed and spoke, "Clan Chief, I think Mr. Luo is right. This is not the first time. We must not just let it go this time. Otherwise, people will think that our Jiang family is A clan does not know right from wrong, and over time, even the clan members will have opinions."

Village Chief Jiang showed displeasure and lowered his head reluctantly, "What Uncle Qi said is that I didn't consider this matter."

Uncle Jiu stood up to smooth things over, "The patriarch was also angry at Yong Guo and his wife. He originally wanted to deal with it, but he just wanted to make things better for his family and everything, but the patriarch had some habits that he couldn't condone. Today's matter, if Yong Guo and the others were involved, The couple succeeded, how wronged the two children were."

"Uncle Jiu said so."

Village Chief Jiang looked at Jiang Yongguo with a dark face, and gritted his teeth, "You two bastards have done such a scandal today and brought shame on the Jiang family. Why don't you apologize to Miao Yatou Qian?" "

Mrs. Jiang said vaguely: "Uncle, how can he ask two children to apologize to their elders? I think today's matter is just a misunderstanding. Her second aunt is too anxious, so I think let it go."

The seventh uncle shouted angrily: "Ms. Chen, I haven't told you yet. Do you know what the two of them did?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was agitated by the scolding. Uncle Qi had a high prestige in the clan. She didn't like her very much when she got married. He always had a bad look when he saw her, so now she was afraid.

The Seventh Uncle snorted, "The two families should have gotten together and lived a good life. You have a lot to do with why the situation is like this."

Mrs. Jiang lowered her head lower.

"Second uncle and second aunt, where do you want to go?" Jiang Miao stopped the two people who were trying to escape.
