Chapter 404

"If you want me to say, we are all from the same village. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If anyone has troubles, why don't they ask their neighbors for help? Your family is so rich, and you are so short of cucumbers and eggplants? What are you afraid of picking some! "Old Wutou's daughter-in-law looked at Kou Xi confidently with her hips akimbo.

"Our family has money, so we have to steal it for nothing. What's the point?" Kou Xi trembled angrily, feeling that these people were extremely shameless.

"What is stealing? Did you see us stealing? Why is there nothing in your house, maybe what's going on. Hmph, it's hard to say if you offend anyone. Otherwise, so many people grow vegetables, and your family You lost something, why don't you think about it?" Old Mrs. Wu lashed out, "Why should I tarnish my old man's reputation? I have to figure it out even if I talk to my wife."

A word of teasing his wife's tongue would have exposed the matter, and Kou Xi smiled ironically.Xiao Wang said to the policeman at the police station: "If you lose the pepper and eggplant, you will lose it. The key is my brother's wallet at home, which is worth hundreds of dollars. This is a big case. Colleague Xiao Wang, let's file a case." "

Kou Xi walked around the house, pointed to the neighbor who was called by the police, and said, "I haven't had time to go back to my house and have a look. I will ask the police comrades to accompany us home. I am afraid that there will be burglars in my house." Already!"

Kou Xi said loudly with his hands behind his back: "Didn't they all say that our family is rich? Our family has a lot of good things. Losing a gold necklace or something is a huge case. There is a case on this body. It is recorded in the file that, I will follow my children and grandchildren all my life. Right, Comrade Xiao Wang.”

Comrade Xiao Wang nodded inaudibly, which frightened the people in the room.The old Mrs. Li in the front yard pointed at the old Zhang's house in the backyard, and the old Zhang's house yelled and cursed at the old Lu's house.Everyone shirked responsibility from each other, and made it clear who stole what vegetables when.

After a while, the head of the police station came out to mediate and dispersed the crowd.He also criticized and educated several families: "I don't force you to take back their things, you can figure out how much you take. It's not easy for them to do business. Men are serving as soldiers outside to protect our homes. Guo, how difficult it is for her to be a woman."

Old Mrs. Li rolled her eyes, twitched for a long time and muttered: "My family just took a few green persimmons, and I just sent them back to her. What else do you want? My family has nothing!"

"Don't talk about it, your family has the most. You go to pick vegetables every night, you guys are blind!" Old Zhang's house is next door to the old house, and someone usually comes to her vegetable field You can see it at a glance.

The old Lu family is also accusing old lady Li: "Yes, you take the most. Don't think about making us pay for everything!"

Old Mrs. Li sat on the ground crying angrily, scolding her neighbors for spreading rumors.She was reprimanded by the director of the police station, and Mrs. Li was afraid that she would leave some bad records for her children when she was detained.He returned home angrily, and picked a basket full of vegetables in the yard of his home.He deliberately led his daughter-in-law, supported by a branch, to the police station, let the director take a look at it, and sent it to Kou Xi's family.

"Obviously our family lost things, and now I've offended everyone." Kou Xi felt extremely wronged, and really couldn't figure out why.

"I don't know why?" Kou Dewang walked over with a smile, still smelling of alcohol.He picked up his little granddaughter, and kissed her very affectionately: "My Xiaole has grown up again."

"Girl, do you know how many people have robbed our family before?" Kou Dewang said in a disapproving tone, "When your mother left, someone came to our house to borrow money. For so many years, the relatives who used to borrow money from us No family has paid back the money. When our family bought the store, I thought about collecting all the money and returning all the money outside."

Kou Dewang patted his face: "Your father and I haven't left the supply and marketing cooperative, and these people won't buy my account. They say that I have no conscience, that they can't even eat, and I still have the heart to ask them for money. "

Kou Xi was stunned, clutching his choked chest: "The one who owes money really thinks it's the uncle?"

"Do you still remember you, Mr. Zhao?" Kou Dewang mentioned a name, and Kou Xi nodded: "Remember, Mr. Zhao originally came from Hongqi Town. His son went to the army with Huo An. He was the one with you back then. Introduced by Huo An. It's a pity that he was gone when we got married!"

"Do you know why he died?" Kou Dewang showed a regretful expression.

"What?"

"He's suffocated to death!" Kou Dewang heaved a long sigh.

"Aggrieved to death?" Kou Xi was surprised.

"At the beginning, his family contracted a fish pond in the town, and the area was not large. I thought that raising fish at home would yield more harvest than fishing in Yedianzi." Hongqi Town is located in a swamp area with abundant aquatic products.In the 70s, wild cranes and ducks flocked here.After the beginning of spring, the Kaijiang fish salvaged by ordinary people are considered small.

"I've never heard of contracting fish ponds? Isn't it just fishing casually and no one cares about it?" Kou Xi stared at a pair of big eyes: "At the beginning, Sister Yazhi wanted to contract fish ponds, but her mother-in-law refused, saying that she fished by herself. I can earn some pocket money, but contracting fish ponds doesn’t make any money.”

"She's right. Because of Zhao Wu." Kou Dewang choked up for a moment: "After taking care of him for more than half a year, he went to the fish pond one morning to have a look. All the fish fry that were already the size of a palm were killed by someone's medicine, and the whole fish pond stinks. Yes, even if you want to raise them again, you can’t do it. After that, there are fewer fish in the fishponds in Hongqi Town. No one dares to contract fish farming anymore.”

Kou Xi couldn't figure it out: "Who gave the medicine? Why are you so cruel? Does Zhao Dada have any grudges against anyone? If so, go find him."

"Who are you looking for?" Kou Dewang stared wide-eyed: "Who knows who did it for a thousand dollars? Have you caught it?"

Zhao Wu was so angry that he vomited blood and fell by the fish pond.When the family found out, they carried him home in time, but it was a pity that he became depressed and lay on the kang for more than a month.No matter how much his family persuaded him, he still couldn't think about it.He felt sorry for the time and money spent in the fish pond, and he was even more angry with those who secretly plotted.

"One night, while no one was paying attention, he took a hemp rope and hanged himself on the big locust tree in the backyard." Kou Dewang sighed: "You said, didn't he die because of being suffocated?"

"I don't understand. His family contracted the fish pond. Why would someone frame him for poisoning?" Seeing his daughter's confused face, Kou Dewang couldn't help but said, "Everyone is like the same family, the same poor and the same worthless." You can't eat as good as you are. Suddenly, your family can eat meat, can you not be greedy?"

"Then they can also work hard on their own. If they don't work hard, they are still jealous of others? If they are not jealous, they are framed? Why, do they feel comfortable only if everyone in the world is unlucky?" Kou Xi suddenly understood, and patted the table roared.
