The woman next to Mrs. Jin saw everyone looking at her, so she put on a very knowledgeable look and said: "I was at Yuwen's house... No, I saw a similar jade bracelet at a relative's house, and I also

It’s not as beautiful as this one, and it’s said that it’s worth several hundred taels.”

There are some knowledgeable village women who already know that this woman is not telling lies. The Yuwen family is a famous big landowner in the area. His family has all kinds of treasures. It is common to have jade bracelets worth hundreds of taels like this.

A woman close to Mrs. Jin quickly clarified: "I didn't break this. I was not next to her just now."

Another woman also held her child's hand and quickly took a few steps back, "We haven't touched her either."

Everyone around Mrs. Jin took a few steps away, revealing a fragment of a jade bracelet on the ground. Huang stepped forward to help pick it up. He was about to hand it to Mrs. Jin, but he took it to look at it again.

Flashed.

Huang held up the fragment and said to the women in the village: "Everyone, take a look. Here are the fragments of this jade bracelet. What is the quality of the jade? You can see for yourself whether it is worth the money."

Jin Xiaoyan also came over at this time, looked at the broken jade and said with regret: "This jade bracelet was passed down from my grandma to my mother. It is an heirloom of our Jin family. However, it is passed down from daughter-in-law to daughter-in-law. My mother is very precious. On weekdays,

I wasn't even allowed to touch him.

Later, my family fell into decline and it was difficult to even eat for a while. At that time, my mother was not willing to sell it to exchange for food.

Unexpectedly, this jade bracelet was broken by you."

The women in Dongpo all know that the Jin family used to be a wealthy family, but now it has declined. There should not be many such good things. Now that another one has been ruined, they can't help but feel sorry for Mrs. Jin, "Then

How heartbreaking it is for a good thing to be broken like this?"

"If I had known this, I might as well have exchanged it for grain. I don't know how many carts of wheat and rice I could have gotten in exchange."

Mrs. Huang returned the broken jade to Mrs. Jin and said to the women in the village: "You all said that you didn't touch Sister-in-law Jin. If you didn't touch Mrs. Jin, how did she fall? Can the jade bracelet be broken if she didn't fall?

?This is your responsibility, you can't afford it even if you want to."

Sui Xin's wife said: "Whoever breaks it will pay to Sister-in-law Jin. This is no small matter, it's a matter of hundreds of silver."

The scene suddenly fell silent, and even the screams of pain disappeared.

Huang said: "If we can't find the culprit, then the villagers present will share the money equally. Each person only has one or twenty taels of silver."

A man said: "We are so far away and have never been to her place. It was definitely not us who broke it. Why should we pay for it?"

Other village women also shouted, "We never touched her. We didn't break her. We won't pay compensation."

"I came to Dongpo and got into debt of dozens of taels of silver. You guys are really good at blackmailing people."

Several people had already begun to sneak away from the crowd, preparing to find an opportunity to leave.

Lu Wang suddenly pointed to the path in the distance and said: "Master Xin and the others are back, let them make the decision for Aunt Jin."

Everyone looked east when they heard this, didn't they? A group of men were running towards this side quickly, kicking up the dust on the road... The children shouted happily, "My dad is back, my uncle is here."

We're back." He shouted as he swarmed towards the path.

The men finally came back, and the people who supported them came back, and the women also excitedly went east to greet them.

After Mrs. Jin finished explaining the matter, Niu Zhixin said to Si Sheng: "Your mother and the others came to the field. As soon as we heard about it, we ran back quickly. When we arrived, all the villagers had fled.

We ran to the ditch but couldn't catch up, so we had to give up. If we really chased him into the village, I'm afraid we would suffer a loss."

Si Sheng nodded and gently rubbed Khotan's temples.

Mrs. Niu said: "We didn't suffer any big losses this time. It's also thanks to those children in Luwang. Whether it was in the wheat field or here in Dongpo, they didn't let the villagers take advantage."

."

Mrs. Wang said: "Speaking of which, Butcher Zhang and Youqing teach well on weekdays. The children can use their hands more skillfully than the adults."

Mrs. Jin also smiled and said: "Yes, these children have been taught so well. Not only did they not let their own people suffer, they also have a good sense of proportion. They don't attack lightly or harshly, so that the villagers can learn a lesson and they can't catch them."

Come and use them to blackmail us."

Being praised by the big guy, Butcher Zhang laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight, "What the hell, these kids haven't learned enough, they have to continue practicing. Beating a group of women is nothing."

Suxue couldn't help but asked: "We just let those villagers go? What about Aunt Jin's jade bracelet?"

Niu Zhixin and the others had been thinking about how to deal with the villagers coming to cause trouble again, and they had neglected the jade bracelet. After listening to Suxue's explanation, they realized that they had not suffered a loss at all, but a big loss.

People have lost hundreds of taels of silver.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn, and they looked at Mrs. Jin a little apologetically.

Mrs. Wang asked in a low voice: "Madam Jin, if I don't know anything about it, how much silver is that jade bracelet worth?"

Mrs. Jin took out a intact jade bracelet from her arms and handed it to Mrs. Wang, saying: "Aunt Wang, that jade bracelet was originally a pair, and this is the other one. This pair of bracelets was indeed passed down from my mother-in-law.

Mine has been passed down in the Jin family for several generations, and it is said that it cost more than 600 taels of silver to purchase."

Mrs. Wang was holding the jade bracelet and looking at it with Mrs. Niu. When she heard that it was worth six hundred taels of silver, her hands trembled. She quickly squeezed the jade bracelet and carefully handed it back to Mrs. Jin.

"This is really a valuable treasure. You should put it away quickly and keep it for Jinbao's wife. Don't take it out easily again. It would be terrible if the bad guys take notice of it."

Mrs. Niu also nodded frequently and said: "Such a good thing cannot be lost in vain. We have to ask them to compensate."

Mrs. Jin smiled and listened to the instructions of the two old ladies. She looked around calmly, handed a purse to Suxue's hand and said: "Xue'er, you have good eyesight. Please help me take a look at this jade bracelet."

Can you still pick it up?"

Suxue took the purse and opened it. Inside was the broken jade bracelet.

Suxue looked at Mrs. Jin in confusion, and Mrs. Jin smiled and said, "Take a closer look."

Suxue took out the broken jade piece by piece and put them together on the table in front of her.

There are four pieces of broken jade in total, and they are complete when put together. There are not many pieces. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that this is a broken jade bracelet.

Mrs. Jin said: "If you can use something to connect the broken parts, then this jade bracelet can still be worn."

Suxue picked up two pieces and looked at the broken parts. Her eyes suddenly widened. This was an old problem. This jade bracelet was obviously not broken just now. "Aunt Jin?"
