There wasn't much money left at home, and even if there was any, it wasn't in Lu Shaoyu's hands. Where did he find twenty taels?
Under the curious eyes of everyone, Lu Shaoyu walked over carrying a bag.
Mu Siyu looked at the bag and became more and more weird.
The bag is moving. What's in it?
"Bring it here!" Gong extended his hand excitedly.
Lu Shaoyu opened the bag, reached in and took out something and threw it in Wang's direction: "Put it away!"
Wang, who was lying on the bed, noticed something falling on her face. It was slippery, ice-cold, and most importantly, it was still moving.
She couldn't pretend anymore and opened her eyes suddenly. When she saw the thing spitting out the letter, she screamed.
"Ah!!!! Snake!!!!"
Gong and Lu Chengquan were shocked!
The village chief obviously did not expect such a thing to happen.
Wang, who was supposed to be lying there dying, jumped up from the bed. Her lively and vigorous appearance did not look like she was seriously ill. If you still don't understand that you have been deceived, then your job as village chief these years has been in vain.
"Ah! Snake! Snake! Don't come here!" Wang jumped off the bed and hid behind Lu Chengquan.
Lu Chengquan was also frightened. He picked up something nearby and threw it at the crawling snake.
Mu Siyu looked at Lu Shaoyu.
The culprit who caused this chaos seemed to be fine and was not affected at all.
Perhaps sensing Mu Siyu's gaze, he looked over and gave her an unceremonious look of disgust.
"Nonsense! What nonsense!" the village chief said angrily: "Lu Chengquan, I trust you so much in vain, and this is how you repay my trust? Your family is hopeless!"
"Village Chief, it's not like this...I..." Lu Chengquan wanted to explain, but he couldn't argue.
The family was so poor that when his mother-in-law and his mother-in-law came up with this idea, he originally stopped him, but after seeing the two children starving to the skin and bones, he finally acquiesced to their approach.
He told himself that it was just this once and he would never do such a shameful thing again.
However, once some things are compromised, all previous efforts will be in vain.
At this moment, he wished he could find a crack to get in.
"Boy Yu, you are also fooling around. Why did you bring such a dangerous thing here?" the village chief scolded.
"Grandpa, the village chief, they want twenty taels of silver, but our family has no silver. I caught this snake on the mountain today, and I plan to make snake soup for it tomorrow. It's not poisonous. I can't get the silver, so I just thought about this snake.
The snake can also hold up a little. Who knows it is too slippery and I can't hold it steady." Lu Shaoyu blinked a pair of pure and harmless eyes.
The village chief's face turned slightly: "It's the village chief who misunderstood you. You are a good boy."
"Village Chief, I have to trouble you to work for us so late. Thank you for your hard work." Mu Siyu said to the village chief, her eyes full of guilt. "I will pay attention to it in the future and try not to cause you any trouble."
Trouble. But you also saw it. I don’t want to cause trouble to anyone. Sometimes trouble just comes to my door."
"This matter has nothing to do with you." The village chief said unhappily: "Lu Yi, put the snake away."
Lu Yi grabbed seven inches of the snake, put it back into the bag, pulled the bag string, and tied the bag to his belt.
The village chief scolded Lu Chengquan and Wang.
After all, Ms. Gong was from another village, and she was about the same age as the village chief, so it was hard to say anything to her in front of the juniors. However, when they lectured Lu Chengquan and Ms. Wang, the village chief was not polite at all.
"Now that the matter has been clarified, can we leave?" Lu Yi said in a cold tone.
"Cough cough..." Mu Siyu coughed. "Cough cough... cough cough... I seem to have caught a cold. I'm afraid I have to trouble my father to call a doctor for me."
Lu Yi: "..."
This drama is so fake.
Lu Shaoyu rolled his eyes, looking speechless.
The village chief and the villagers outside felt that Mu Siyu's blatant behavior was too shameless, but it was hard to say anything. After all, it was Wang and Lu Chengquan who provoked her first, and now they want to send her away with just a few words. I'm afraid it won't be easy.
.
"You...you did it on purpose!" Wang pointed at Mu Siyu and shouted. "Village Chief, you saw it. She was just pretending to be sick on purpose."
The village chief said with a cold face: "I don't know. Is he pretending to be ill? Just ask Dr. Zhu to come and take a look."
"What this lady said just now is right. If you want to see a doctor, of course you need to find a doctor in the town. How can you find Dr. Zhu? Please ask Brother Chengquan to hire a doctor for me." Mu Siyu blatantly blackmailed me.
After the nonsense just now, now is the time when the villagers have the worst impression of Lu Chengquan and his wife. It must be difficult for them to protect them at this time.
Lu Chengquan's face turned red and he looked at Lu Yi nervously.
He was afraid of Lu Yi.
There should be very few people in the village who are not afraid of Lu Yi.
Plop! Lu Chengquan knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Yi: "Brother Yi, I know I was wrong. I will take good care of my woman from now on and won't let her trouble you again. Can you... let us go this time?
?”
Lu Yi was indifferent: "I was not the one who was wronged."
"Mother Shaoyu." Lu Chengquan looked at Mu Siyu pleadingly.
Mu Siyu did not forget that Lu Chengquan had previously persuaded Mr. Wang to compensate the three chickens. Seeing his sincerity, she gave up.
Of course, it is impossible to just pretend that nothing happened. The geese must pluck their feathers, otherwise they will never learn their lesson.
"Twenty eggs." Mu Siyu said, "I won't be so easy to talk to next time."
The people in the village watched Mu Siyu walk away carrying twenty eggs and said sour words.
It's not easy for every household now, and eggs are a luxury for them. How could Mu Siyu not be jealous when he just took twenty eggs for nothing without doing anything?
"Wow...my eggs...my eggs..." Wang's heart-rending cry was particularly clear in this silent night.
"Stop making trouble."
"It's all your fault! Useless man! We mothers are suffering with you... It's useless! We can't even protect our own women. Why is my life so miserable..."
Mu Siyu followed Lu Yi and happily praised Lu Shaoyu: "Shaoyu is still smart, let her show her true colors like this."
"You are obviously stupid." Lu Shaoyu's face was full of disgust.
"As long as I'm stupid, just be stupid, and you can be smart." Mu Siyu didn't care. "But that snake... I don't know how to handle it. You ask your father to clean it before giving it to me."
Lu Xuan held Lu Zhiyun's little hand and waited at the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw several figures approaching, he quickly greeted them.
"How's it going?" His voice was urgent, obviously worried that something had happened again.
"Sister..." Mu Zhenghan helped Tong to walk out.
"Why did you come out? The doctor said you will have to stay in bed for a while and not be able to get off the ground."
When Mu Siyu saw Tong, she didn't bother to answer Lu Xuan's question and went to support her first.
