After being tired for a day, when she returned to her courtyard, Jin Xiaolou coincidentally saw Jin Xiaofeng walking out of her thatched cottage with a bamboo frame in her arms, followed by Jin Xiaotao.
Jin Xiaolou's eyes narrowed, and she saw clearly that the wooden ears and mushrooms inside the bamboo box were the ones she had dug out from the forest this morning.
"What are you doing?" Jin Xiaolou asked.
At first, Jin Xiaofeng was somewhat guilty when she saw Jin Xiaolou, but when she was questioned by Jin Xiaolou, she immediately became angry: "This is Jin Family, what does it have to do with me taking some things from my own house?"
Jin Xiaolou was neither humble nor haughty: "I have already rented the thatched cottage, and you have all brought back what originally belonged to the Jin Family. From yesterday, anything in that house, even a speck of dust, will belong to me, Jin Xiaolou, and will have nothing to do with your Jin Family! "
"You!" Jin Xiaofeng was extremely furious, "Why do you think that it doesn't matter if you say it doesn't? You were raised by our Jin Family, don't you need to repay the favor of raising you? Moreover, you are now a servant of our Jin Family, so you need to work hard to make up for the cost of the room. Going into the mountain to gather stuff, is the work done for our Jin Family, and the fungus and mushrooms you brought back, isn't it natural for them to belong to our Jin Family?! "
"If you keep spouting such arrogant words, I'll go to Lizheng and sue you for theft!" Jin Xiaofeng actually went ahead and complained first.
Jin Xiaofeng originally thought that she would make him afraid.
Unexpectedly, Jin Xiaolou was unhurried: "My things are my things, no one can take them away! If you want to go to Lizheng, I'll see who's in the wrong. "
Jin Xiaofeng was shocked by Jin Xiaolou's aura and was startled on the spot. For a moment, he was speechless, and did not know what to do.
She did not want to cause a ruckus over there, and was afraid that her grandmother would know that she was lazy, so she was even less willing to lose to Jin Xiaolou.
Just as he was at a loss, he heard Madame Wu's voice come over from outside the courtyard.
"If you say it's yours, then it's yours?"
The Madame Wu who was leaning on her walking stick slowly walked over, and stood in between Jin Xiaolou and Jin Xiaofeng. Her turbid eyes swept across the two of them, and in the end landed on Gao Lang and laughed coldly.
When Jin Xiaofeng heard his grandmother's voice, she was so scared that he started to shiver. She thought his grandmother was going to scold him, but when she heard Madame Wu's words, she immediately felt reassured.
The Madame Wu then said: "Xiao Feng, didn't you go into the forest and pluck these mushrooms and wooden ears? Xiaotao and you are on the same path, we can bear witness. "
As he said that, he turned to look at Jin Xiaolou, "You said that these things were taken from your house, is there any evidence?"
Jin Xiaolou's eyes were cold. In this place, they could make a fool of themselves with their eyes closed. She knew Gui Qi would definitely help her testify, but she did not want to drag the already difficult Gui Qi into this muddy water.
"I can testify." Behind him, Gao Lang stepped forward and blocked in front of Jin Xiaolou.
Gao Lang was a head taller than Jin Xiaolou, but now thathe was suddenly in front of Jin Xiaolou, she felt like a green tree, causing her to almost forget for an instant that he was a fool.
"You?" The Madame Wu snorted, "These days, it's really strange. Even idiots would testify."
Jin Xiaofeng laughed out loud and mocked: "Do you know what is meant by testimony? You are just a fool who doesn't know anything, being chased from a big house in the capital to a remote place like ours, father doesn't care about mother, mother doesn't love you. It's ridiculous that a pitiful bug would want to stand up for another pitiful bug! "
In Jin Xiaolou's heart, Gao Lang was not an ignorant fool. He was only as naive and simple as a child.
At this time, so many injurious words came out of Jin Xiaofeng's mouth, Jin Xiaolou quickly took a step forward, stood on her tiptoes, and used her hands to tightly cover Gao Lang's ears.
She did not want these unpleasant words to hurt Gao Lang.
Gao Lang's ears suddenly warmed up, and everyone around him became quiet.
He closed his eyes slowly, as if there was a soft, thick cashmere blanket gently covering his beating heart.
What appeared before his eyes was a sky full of blood, a desperate battle, the annihilation of the red candles, the many peerless and gloomy faces, the method of turning over the clouds into rain, and the tears that silently fell from the blurred copper mirror.
To Gao Lang, Jin Xiaofeng's childish and ridiculously low taunts were merely a light breeze blowing across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers; it was simply not enough.
But at this moment, how he wished that fifteen years ago, on that stormy night, there would be a pair of hands like this that would cover his ears and prevent him from hearing the woman's mournful and despairing wails.
Unfortunately, that man was the only one who firmly pressed him to the ground, telling him to open his eyes wide and look at everything clearly before firmly remembering everything that had happened …
"Whether this thing is mine or not, I will naturally be able to tell if there is any evidence." Seeing that Jin Xiaofeng had finally closed her mouth and let go of Gao Lang, Jin Xiaolou reached out and grabbed Jin Xiaofeng's sleeves, "Come with me.
"Let go of me! What are you talking about!" Jin Xiaofeng was dragged to the entrance of the courtyard. She couldn't get rid of Jin Xiaolou, so she turned her head to look at her grandmother for help.
The Madame Wu did not actually care about this matter. Of course it was good if there was nothing, and it was also fine if there wasn't, she just wanted to vent her anger after being smashed by Gao Lang earlier and teach these two a lesson.
But she never thought that Jin Xiaolou would become so stubborn.
If we go all the way there, the first thing we'll lose is Jin Family 'face.
Madame Wu was not willing to let the people in the village see her as a joke. Her face turned green for a moment, and then she turned and swung her staff fiercely at Jin Xiaofeng, "You can't even look at our family's food, what kind of snake, rat, and bug are you going to eat this, it's really useless!"
With that, he ignored her and left.
Once Jin Xiaotao saw that his grandmother had left, he immediately tried to persuade her, "Xiao Feng, hurry up and return the thing to the house.'s grandmother's face is already green, why aren't we quickly begging for forgiveness?"
Jin Xiaofeng puffed her cheeks and threw the frame on the ground, "If I can't get it, you can't either."
Mushrooms and wooden ears were scattered on the ground in the frame, and three smooth and round bird eggs rolled out from them.
Jin Xiaofeng lifted her foot and stomped down heavily, smashing three bird eggs to pieces. After stomping her feet on the mushrooms and wooden ears a few more times, she was done with her anger and turned around to leave.
