Chapter 170 Relatives can't lie to relatives
Looking at the cousin's words and deeds, both of them were thinking, such a good person, why uncle and the others would sell her and break ties with her, what a fool.
Qiao’s family Mao Dong was at home, and when he heard that the food distribution was not his family’s share, he would not get angry.
Although they found out that it was from Mayor Qian, they could quickly think that it must be the donation from the white-eyed wolf.
The Qiao family always showed off in the village when they couldn’t get any food, “This is food bought with my daughter’s money, you can give me some.”
Some people in the village who couldn't understand them replied, "Your daughter's? Let's see if she recognizes you before talking about it."
"Hmph, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will ask my daughter to take back the food?"
"It was given by Mayor Qian, not by your daughter."
"It belongs to my niece. She deliberately said so in order not to let us know."
"You can pull it down!"
Qiao Shicheng's eyes were red when he saw the big bag of grain, and he was about to go up to grab it with his son, but was beaten back home by the villagers.
No one will follow him, everyone knows who he is, so just brag about it for yourself.
As for the Yuan family, with the temperament of the old couple, they had already asked their four sons to pack firewood for them. They hadn't been out of the house since it snowed. It's not worth it, the money in my hand hasn't been spent yet.
But the fifth one, the two never planned to let it go.
Why should their parents spend winter in the adobe house, why should their son have a good time in the big house.
It should be that they are in Jixiangyuan, and the fifth father and son are here in the adobe house.
So these two people really committed crimes, and they went to encourage the four brothers again.
"I said you don't stay at home, the road is clear, you go to find the fifth child, it is getting colder and colder, so why can't he help you?"
"Mother, don't worry about it, it doesn't matter if we go or not."
"Why is it okay? You don't prepare an annual gift for us?"
"It's still early,"
None of the four sons wanted to talk to them, but they still listened to what the old man said.
They went to see Yuan’s family before, and gave away things. Although the matter of the patriarch made Yuan’s family angry, they and him are still the same, so they should give it a try.
In this way, the four brothers came to Qiao's house together.
Yuan Jiaqi frowned when he heard that they were coming, but remembering that they brought things to see him before, he put down his books and went to the front hall.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother."
"Fifth, you have to save us."
While talking, the four big men actually burst into tears, pretending to be pitiful.
"What the **** happened?"
"The snow is too heavy. Part of our house is covered with beds. We are all huddled together to keep warm. Can you help us? Don't worry, we don't need money, just give some food and firewood. It's really a town. All the grain stores are closed, and there is no food in them.”
The four brothers discussed it when they came here, they must not ask for money, they have to take it step by step, first ask for some food, and then look at the attitude of the fifth brother.
As long as he can give the first time, he can give the second time.
Was it really cruel, Yuan Jiaqi sighed in his heart.
"Is a hundred catties of food and a large bundle of firewood enough for a family?"
"Enough, enough, thank you fifth brother, thank you fifth brother."
"How did you get here?"
"Walking"
"Go back and push a small cart over here, or you won't be able to take it back."
"Can you?"
"No, it's wrong to give the food without her consent. If you don't go home and push the cart to take it away, don't ask for the food. I have no obligation to deliver it to your home."
"Let's push, push."
The four of them ran back to the village, and each of them pushed a cart from the house to Qiao's house. There were four large bags of grain and four large bundles of firewood at the door.
The mother-in-law said with a cold face, "My uncle said that he still has something to do, so let's take it away."
"Ai, ai!"
The mother-in-law gave them a blank look, and after watching them take away the food and firewood, she closed the door.
Because of this matter, the Yuan family has been feeling uneasy all the time. He couldn't read the book, so he came to Qiao Mai's house anxiously.
"Ma'am, can I go in?"
Qiao Mai was doing embroidery work on the kang, and was taken aback when he heard his voice.
"come in!"
Seeing him coming in, she gestured with her eyes, "Sit down, there is tea on the table and pour it yourself, I have my hands dirty here."
"Miss, without your consent today, I gave the four Yuan brothers a bag of cornmeal and a large bundle of firewood."
After hearing this, Qiao Mai stuck the needle in the cloth and rubbed his face with his hands. She looked at him with a somewhat uncomfortable look and said.
"Although the two of us have signed documents, you are also a member of the family at present. Let's not talk about that, let's talk about you as a scholar."
Yuan Jiaqi looked at her a little puzzled, not knowing what she meant by this.
"Um?"
"First of all, is the Yuan family really struggling?"
"Those two old men had silver in their hands. They separated, and each of them could get a hundred taels of silver and about ten acres of land."
"Yeah, you won't build a new house after you split up? The new house just collapsed under the weight of snow? I advise you to dress warmly and let Wu Zhui and Sai Xue follow you back to have a look. .”
Yuan Jiaqi's complexion instantly turned ugly. He was blinded by this family affection. He listened to what people said, and never thought that he was being cheated.
If this is the case, what kind of official will he be, and how will he decide the case in the future?
So he jumped up and stood up, "I was wrong, thank you lady for your reminder, I will quietly go back to the village to have a look."
"Go and have a look, relatives can't lie to relatives."
Qiao Mai lowered his head, continued to embroider with an embroidery needle, and the Yuan family came out of the house with red eye circles.
What he hoped in his heart was that his elder brother and the others would not lie to him. His heart, which had warmed up a bit, now gradually froze again.
He went back to the house and got dressed without calling Wu Zhui and Sai Xue, and set foot on the road back to the village alone.
The surrounding area was quiet, and there was no one to be seen. The white snow piled high on both sides made it difficult to hide anyone, and all of them were photographed solidly.
He was only thinking about what happened today, and after walking not far, Wu Zhui and Sai Xue caught up.
He felt warm in his heart. The lady must have sent them here. These two dogs are very intelligent and brave. Several people can't beat them.
Just let them bite and the bones will break.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the entrance of Xinghua Village. In such a cold day, there was not even a child in the village.
He walked quietly with two dogs alone.
There are not many new houses in Xinghua Village, except for the adobe houses, which are still adobe houses, but a few are newly built, which can be seen from the shape of the adobe bricks on the wall.
Walking from the beginning of the village to the end of the village and back again, none of the houses collapsed.
He came to a new house with a gloomy face, knocked on the door, and a woman's voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Who is it?"
Yuan Jiaqi's face collapsed without humming, and he continued to knock on the door with his hands.
The woman scolded as she walked angrily, "You don't even make a sound when you shout, what are you knocking all the time, are you going to die of reincarnation?"
When she opened the door and saw Yuan Jiaqi, her face was as ugly as eating shit.
"Well, fifth, fifth brother, you, are you here?"
"Let me see if your house collapsed!"
The woman froze in place, at a loss, when several men came out of the room, reeking of alcohol, and they were the four brothers who were just about to leave the food.
What a coincidence, as soon as he knocked on the door casually, he blocked them all.
This is something coming, are you celebrating with joy?
"Brother, are you guys so elegant? You can still drink here after the house collapses. Come and see your house, yo, it's collapsed like this. Is there still a place to drink and chat? It's not easy!"
