Some people started making noises, "Then it's possible that they stole it from Yang Juyun and others on the slope!"
Suddenly, the people around burst into laughter.
All the excuses of the Yang Shuying family were blocked by Mrs. Zhang. They were immediately speechless and extremely embarrassed. Everyone clenched their fists, had a gloomy face, and opened a pair of angry eyes.
Staring at the people around them who were making fun of their family.
Mrs. Zhang also frowned and darkened her face, but she did not refute, because the most important thing at the moment was the settlement of accounts between her family and Yang Shuying's family.
"So, I have to take this firewood back," she said and started to pick it up.
When Yang Shuying and Hu Yulan saw it, they went up to stop it, "No, you can't take this firewood. This is our family's firewood!"
Mrs. Zhang stared at them with a pair of red eyes and yelled, "What are you doing, what are you doing, what do you want to do? You still want to hit me?"
As she said that, she immediately lay down on the ground, and then started to roll on the ground and howl, "I'm beating someone, my lord, I'm beating someone to death. Come and see, this thief's family stole something and refused to acknowledge it."
Did you hit someone?"
"Let me tell you, I'm not done with you today. I'm not done with you! How can there be such a truth in the world? I was caught stealing someone else's things and didn't return them. I even beat them!" Xiang Jin and the others finished their meal.
This is what I saw when I came over.
Old Man Xiang was very tough today. Looking at the cold-faced and stern look of the village bully who would not give up until he was given an explanation, Xiang Jin thought to himself: This is probably Old Man Xiang’s true face!
But it had nothing to do with them. Their main purpose today was to get back their share of firewood, so she walked out of the crowd.
"Then it seems that you have also stolen the firewood on the slope of our house. The slopes of our house and theirs are right next to each other. It makes no sense that you only steal their firewood and not ours. And it just so happens that,
Our firewood has also disappeared, and not a single strand is left.
And it just so happens that the firewood at our house looks exactly the same as the firewood stacked here. Everyone knows that the trees on the slope of our house are almost the same batch of trees as theirs, so the sizes of the branches are also the same.
It's almost the same.
I was still wondering before, who stole the firewood on the slope of our house, but it turned out to be you?"
Having said this, Xiang Jin called to Xiang Nan and said, "Xiang Nan, come here quickly and drag our firewood back."
"Hey, here we come!" Xiang Nan immediately got out of the crowd.
Then the two sisters went to haul firewood. Naturally, Ai Chaocong and his family were not allowed to do so. Xiang Jin looked at him coldly and said, "Why, you beat the old man and you want to beat the child?"
She emphasized the word "child" a little too strongly to remind them that hitting children is against the law and is a serious crime.
Ai Chaocong and his family stared at her hatefully for a long time, and finally had to step away. Xiang Jin and Xiang Nan first pushed aside the top layer of living cypress branches, and then removed the ones inside.
The half-dry cypress branches were dragged outside and placed one by one in an open space.
When Ai Can saw them, he rushed over and wanted to hit them. To be precise, he wanted to hit Xiang Nan. His idea was very simple, that is, the adults in the family could not hit them, but he was a child, and children could always hit them.
For children, it is not illegal for children to hit children.
The idea was good and ideal, but just as his fat body rushed toward them, Xiang Jin glanced at him with a sharp look.
"You are a few months older than Xiang Nan. You are indeed the same age. It is indeed illegal for you to hit her, but I am only two years older than you. After all, you and I are also the same age, so I can do it.
Whoever hits you is also not breaking the law."
After Ai Can heard what she said, he saw the threatening warning in her eyes, and when he thought of her kick, he immediately stopped and stopped.
Dare to take a step forward.
Xiang Jin and Xiang Nan continued to haul firewood.
When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she quickly sat up from the ground, then dragged Old Man Xiang to join in the procession of hauling firewood.
When she saw Xiang Jin dragging a cypress branch as thick as an adult's arm, she also put her hand on it, "You damn girl, what are you trying to rob me of?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, "Who stole it from you? I obviously got the firewood first, okay? Oh, forget it, I'll give it to you!"
Xiang Jin went to drag other firewood, and Mrs. Zhang said again, "Are you still dragging it? How much firewood have you dragged already? You are not allowed to drag any more, the ones behind this belong to our family!"
Xiang Jin suddenly lost his temper, "What's yours? How about we go up the slope and count the tree stumps, and then we can calculate them in proportion?"
"You?" Mrs. Zhang stared at her.
Xiang Jin didn't bother to pay attention to her and continued to drag firewood. Then the old man Xiang yelled at her, "Oh, hurry up and collect the firewood. It's already been an extra afternoon?"
Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to say anything, and then she rushed to pick up the thick branches towards herself.
After a while, Xiang Jin estimated that he had picked up almost everything, so he said to Xiang Nan, "Go back and ask mom to carry a frame on her back to carry our firewood back."
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Nan put down the firewood in his hand and quickly slipped out of the crowd. Xiang Jin also said to Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Xiang, "The ones behind are all yours.
"
The old lady Zhang gave her an annoyed look and said, "It's as if you are very magnanimous!"
Xiang Jin didn't bother to argue with her, so he walked to the shade and took a rest.
Yang Juyun came very quickly, followed by Xiang Jin and her uncle. Each of them carried a burden, and then they quickly carried all the firewood back.
The people around started talking again, "What's not easy to do, why do you want to be a thief? Now it's great. Not only did your work become useless, but you also gained the reputation of being a thief!"
"Isn't that right? You went out of your way to carry the firewood back from such a far away place, and then hid it at home before it was dried. It was discovered by others, and then asked them to carry it back directly.
Wow, this is such a joke to me!"
"The most important thing is that we are at odds with the Lao Xiang family. You think they are two-faced and do one thing in front of the other and do the same thing in the back. Who in Baytou will dare to be on good terms with their family in the future?"
"Isn't that right? Then you have to be like the second Lao Xiangjia!"
"I think it's abnormal for them to suddenly be friends with the Lao Xiang family. Look, what happened to the Lao Xiang family in the past? They weren't the ones who laughed the most at it?"
"Oh, it's true what you said."
.........
Everyone was talking about each other, Yang Shuying's family was almost furious, their eyes were even redder, but the old woman Zhang and the old man Xiang looked at them after hearing everyone's remarks.
His eyes were filled with hatred.
Looking at the slightly raised corners of Xiang Jin's mouth when they left, Yan Chen finally understood what she meant by "I'm not a thief, and there is firewood from the old Xiang family in there."
It's not that she doesn't want the firewood, it's that she wants to get the firewood back in an open and honest manner. However, she doesn't want to be the one who wants to pay the bills. Instead, she lets the people from the Lao Xiang family take the lead, and then she comes forward, and in a few words, it's logical.
They want the firewood back at their house.
It was the Lao Xiang family who had been at odds with each other throughout the whole process, turning them from good neighbors to mutually disgusting enemies. Even if Ai Chaocong and his family resented the Lao Xiang family, most of them resented the Lao Xiang family, because they were
They gave them a reputation as thieves.
Others' reputations were ruined, their family's firewood was taken back, and the two families who were originally on good terms became enemies. She was good at plotting and using tricks, and she was able to kill three birds with one stone without anyone noticing. It must be said that she was able to kill three birds with one stone again.
