The Li Family had already made known to the entire village that the basket of potatoes was missing. If the three boxes of potatoes were truly missing, then wouldn't Old Lady Li have overturned the foundations of the entire West Tang Village? Besides, Li Lu stole the potato from Widow Zhao. Old Mrs. Li, Madame Zhou, Lady Wang all said the same thing, but now they changed their minds. It was such a slap in the face.
What's more, how could things be so coincidental? Both Second Brother Li and Wenxiu stole potatoes at the same time?
Although it was coincidental, it was too much of a coincidence. Therefore, everyone couldn't help but suspect that Old Madam Li was lying. However, from Wenxiu's argument, her family did indeed have eighty to ninety catties of potatoes. However, those potatoes were definitely not from Old Lady Li's family.
Old Madam Li was momentarily at a loss for words. After hesitating for a while, she no longer bothered with whether the potato belonging to the Wen Xiu belonged to her and directly insisted that it was Wen Xiu who stole it.
Wenxiu had no land, and she had been bullied for many years. It was a miracle that she was able to live with her children. Now, Old Madam Li had insisted that she was stealing things and that there was no certificate to prove her innocence. She was truly at a loss for words. If she were to tell the truth, who would believe that the potato had appeared in her kitchen on foot?
More than twice, Wenxiu had cursed the guy who gave her the potato without a name for it. She had not stolen it, so she could not explain where it came from.
Sigh, his heart was in a mess!
When the villagers saw Wenxiu fall into silence again, some of them began to suspect her. However, even more people stood on Wenxiu's side, believing that she was innocent. All of this was because Old Madam Li was wrongly accusing her. After all, what Old Madam Li had done in the past few days had made outsiders like them feel a chill in their hearts.
Lady Wang took the opportunity when no one was looking to walk over to Old Yang's side and whispered, "Third Brother, it's time for you to seek justice for your wife. Why aren't you seizing the opportunity?"
Since Wenxiu walked into the courtyard, Old Yang, Third, had not made a sound. He stood silently behind everyone. When he heard Lady Wang's words, his eyes slanted and he rolled his eyes.
I'm not an idiot, what right do I have to stand up for your Li family members?
Besides, Wenxiu's pretty widow was different from the other widows. Her fierce appearance was not only something that they had not seen in the past two days. It was just that those people had never seen her before. One must know that last time … He stopped thinking about it. Just thinking about it made him lose face, and he was even more afraid of the consequences.
Yang Lao San shook his head, and quickly forgot those unpleasant memories, and said in a muffled voice: "It's only the family matters of your family, so why should I join in? As for that old woman of mine, she usually dares to shatter her lips. Serves her right. "
When Mrs. Wang heard Old Yang's words, her eyes widened. Since when did such a prick act so rationally? With a cold snort, he walked back to Old Madam Li's side.
Pulling on Madame Zhou's clothes, she instantly understood. Her swollen mouth opened and closed, and her eyes were filled with malice, "Wenxiu, you stole the potatoes and yet you didn't bring them back. Why not let the whole village know? Shall we go and ask Li Zheng how he's going to deal with the thieves here? "
"Alright, let's find the Rizheng and find the Righteous Bestowal." Wenxiu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly responded to Mrs Zhou. Then, with a fake smile, she said, "I didn't steal anything, so I can't be considered a thief. But, second brother seems to have stolen the potatoes for Widow Zhao? "
"Bullshit!" Does he steal from his own family? "
"Since it's not considered stealing, why do you need to go out of your way to capture bandits?"
"This …"
"Stealing from one's own family, that's considered stealing!"
Mrs Zhou was rendered speechless by Wenxiu's question. Her mouth was in so much pain that she could not even take a breath of cold air. Her mind was quickly working on how to crush Wenxiu while Liu Dahe's voice entered her ears.
When the onlookers saw him coming, they smiled and greeted him. However, they did not know that their hot faces had turned cold. Liu Da He said with a straight face, "Being coaxed everyday is not shameful."
Everyone: "..."
This liveliness was not caused by them!
The people who can be chosen as the center of the village are all people with a certain amount of prestige and ability." Liu Dahe had done his best at such a young age, so naturally he had his strong points. Although his words were a bit heavy, but in the end, he was respected. The people that were accused didn't even take a breath, and all of them stopped laughing.
Liu Da He looked at Old Madam Li. His voice was not respectful, but he was definitely calm. "Aunt, your family has already found the potatoes. Why aren't you coming home?"
Mrs Zhou was eager for Wenxiu to have her hands chopped off and sink into the pond. She thought that since Liu Dahe had come, Wenxiu would suffer greatly if she told her about how she stole the potatoes. Therefore, she took the lead and said, "Li Zheng, you've come at the perfect time. Wenxiu, you slut, after stealing the potatoes, you've really ruined our reputation in Xi Tang Village. My mother and elder sister-in-law personally pulled out the stolen goods. I saw it when I went to her house. "Also, those two little things are not from my Li Clan. Even if you can't drown in them, you have to cancel your household registration and sell them as slaves …"
Madame Zhou's heart was really dark. Not only did she kill Wenxiu, but she was also concerned that the two children wouldn't die!
Liu Da He heard him say something and frowned unhappily. He glanced at Wen Xiu, who hadn't made a sound until now. His gaze landed on Mrs. Zhou. He said in a neither loud nor low voice, "I gave you Wen Xiu's potato."
"You gave it to me?" Madame Zhou instantly revealed a surprised expression, her voice suddenly rising an octave higher.
Old Madam Li also had a look of disbelief. How was this possible? If Liu Da He gave it to him, why didn't Wen Xiu say anything? On the contrary, he looked like he had a guilty conscience.
Liu Da He saw the confusion in everyone's eyes, and continued, "Wen Xiu has already drowned, so she is unable to go out and look for food. The two children were still young, and nothing would starve them to death. I'm worried about giving it directly to the three of them, so they won't accept it. "So, when they weren't home, I put the potatoes under her bed."
When everyone heard this, they instantly understood. So that was the case!
Although it was difficult for Old Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Zhou to accept Liu Da He's words, they all said it was from him. No one in the village said they lost their potatoes, and even if those potatoes didn't come from Wenxiu's proper channels, they couldn't continue saying that she stole them.
Otherwise, they would have directly questioned the authenticity of Liu Da He's words!
At first, Wenxiu also thought it was from Liu Dahe. After all, he had spoken with dignity and righteousness, but she had hidden the potato under her bed. Liu Dahe was lying on her behalf. In other words, Liu Dahe was just here to help her!
Those potatoes were not given by Liu Da He!
No matter who sent the potatoes, Madame Li and the rest did not accuse her of stealing anymore. After saying a few words to Liu Da He, with malicious eyes and an awkward expression, they carried the potatoes out of the Widow Zhao's yard.
After that, everyone left in a hurry.
However, no one expected that within Widow Zhao's room, there were three silhouettes rushing out of the courtyard through the window.
