After the death of Du Gang's wife, He Lizheng's son drank too much one day and told people the truth: The pants Du Gang's wife wore that day were indeed his, but they were not given to Du Gang's wife by him, but from his mother.

For the Du family.

When the Du Gang family first came to settle in Hejiayao, the whole family was wearing thin and tattered clothes. Mrs. He Lizheng felt that they were pitiful, so she collected a few old clothes and gave them to them.

However, those trousers were still used and were not included in the old clothes given away by the He family. Du Gang's wife had added them in while Mrs. He Lizheng was not paying attention.

Madam He Lizheng discovered it at that time. Although she felt very uncomfortable, she did not tell the truth and did not ask for her return.

On the day of the accident, He Lizheng's daughter-in-law accidentally recognized the pair of pants worn by Du Gang's daughter-in-law and suspected that the relationship between Du Gang's daughter-in-law and her man was abnormal. She got excited and yelled on the spot. Unexpectedly, it would lead to such a big incident.

tragedy.

Patriarch Li said: "Du Gang also knew the truth of the matter later, but he had no shame in going to trouble He Lizheng's family, because his wife had stolen the pants, and his wife also drank medicine and died.

Even though He Lizheng's daughter-in-law said in public that the torn pants belonged to a man in her family, she did not say more, nor did she verbally humiliate his wife. Everyone in the He family seemed to be right. He wanted to kill her daughter-in-law.

No one can be found."

Because the incident that happened to the Du Gang family in Hejiayao was so tragic, it spread to people in several surrounding villages. Therefore, when the Li family heard that Lu Youqing was going to collect seeds, they were afraid that he would suffer a loss, so they went to give them to him.

Li Yanming reported the news, and then Li Yanming rushed to remind Lu Youqing.

Lu Youqing said: "No matter what, we have to thank Uncle Li and Yan Ming. Thank you very much for thinking of us when something happened and for coming here to give us advice at the risk of offending others."

Patriarch Li smiled and said, "Youqing is a heretic when he says this. Since we know these situations, although we can't be of much help, we should remind them. We are not outsiders."

Niu Zhixin said hesitantly: "When we received the seeds today, we checked them carefully and found no problems. However, I still feel uneasy. Since Patriarch Li is here, can you help us take a look at the seeds again?"

Patriarch Li came today to ask about the seeds. After hearing Niu Zhixin's request, he agreed immediately. A group of people immediately stood up and walked to Niu's house in a mighty manner.

The seeds brought back were piled on the wall of Niu Zhixin's thatched house and carefully wrapped in mats on all sides.

Suixin helped open the mat. When Patriarch Li saw the sacks containing the seeds, the smile on his face faltered, but he didn't say anything immediately. He just reached out and grabbed the seeds in the sacks and looked at them carefully in the light of the fire.

When he held a handful of cotton seeds and put them in front of his eyes, his face turned even darker.

Patriarch Li looked at all the seeds, gritted his teeth and said, "I know that guy named Chen is short-sighted. What happened to Hejiayao last year was so serious, yet he dared to tamper with the seeds."

The people present saw the constant changes in Patriarch Li's face and already guessed that there was something wrong with these seeds. When they heard him speak, they quickly asked: "What has been done to these seeds?"

Patriarch Li pointed to the bags of seeds and said: "This sack is a commonly used fifty-pound bag. After filling it with fifty kilograms, the sack should be bulging. Look at these sacks, they are loose and loose, and they are obviously not filled enough.

Have you weighed the weight? Let’s weigh it now.”

Suixin quickly brought the scale over, and she and Wang Zhongpeng carried a sack to the scale and exclaimed, "This bag only weighs forty-six pounds!"

Niu Zhixin's face turned red with anger, "Isn't that good? Who would have thought that a man would actually do such a sneaky thing."

Everyone weighed all the seeds and found that the seeds in more than 700 acres of land were missing by more than 130 kilograms. This is not a small amount. These seeds are enough to plant 60 to 70 acres of fields.

Niu Zhixin said anxiously: "There are so many missing. If our land relies entirely on these seeds, wouldn't it mean that dozens of acres of land would be left uncultivated?"

Si Sheng comforted him and said, "Uncle Xin, don't worry, let's listen to what Uncle Li has to say first."

Patriarch Li continued: "I'm not done yet. Not only are the quantities of these seeds insufficient, there is also a problem with the quality of the cotton seeds."

Patriarch Li grabbed a handful of cotton seeds and showed them to everyone, "These seeds are black in color and shriveled. Look, there are insect-eaten holes in this seed. This is not the seed left last year at all, but the inferior old seed from previous years."

.”

Niu Zhixin took a deep breath and said with some guilt: "We don't grow cotton there, and we are not very familiar with cotton seeds. When we inspected Chen Lizheng's house, we really didn't see these problems."

After the men finished reading the seeds, they returned to Lu's house dejectedly to continue talking.

Suxue, Wang Zeran and Lu Wang were walking at the back. Lu Wang said: "Zhang Fu and I went to Chen Lizheng's house with my father today. He looked very talkative, calculated the accounts clearly, and agreed happily.

I asked Mr. Xin and the others to open the bags one by one and examine them. I didn’t expect that he had done so many tricks, and I don’t know if he had tampered with the Juhua family’s seeds.”

Suxue asked: "Chrysanthemum? Are you talking about the chrysanthemum that comes from Qinzhou Prefecture like us? She also went to get the seeds?"

Lu Wang nodded, "We met her in the courtyard of Chen Lizheng's house."

Lu Wang told Suxue and Wang Zeran what he saw today.

Suxue asked thoughtfully: "You said, Chen Lizheng deducted our seeds, will it be transferred to the Juhua family?"

Wang Zeran said: "Her family also distributes seeds, so there is no need to ask for ours."

"Isn't it said that these seeds are only given to newly settled families? Juhua's family has been here for more than half a year, and they have planted crops for the whole season. Can the county still distribute seeds to her family?" Suxue guessed.

Lu Wang looked at Suxue, "You are right. If there were no seeds from her family, then all the seeds she took would be ours. I don't know how many she took, but look at the sacks on her cart.

There are three or four of them."

Lu Wang suddenly remembered a detail and said with some gossip: "By the way, that Juhua said that Chen Lizheng was asked to go to her house to get pancakes tonight."

Going to her house to get pancakes at night? This is kind of interesting.

When Wang Zeran saw the evil smile on Suxue's face, he knew that she had another idea, and said dotingly: "You can go if you want, I'll accompany you."

Lu Wang looked at the two of them and asked uncertainly: "Don't you want to go to Juhua's house to search for grain seeds?"

Suxue rolled her eyes, and Wang Zeran said disgustedly: "Even if her family takes our seeds, can we still steal them back?"
