Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 144 A Brief Talk
"As Mr. Zhao said these days, it's because of the bad weather that the little girl's home has always been peaceful. However, last night, two thieves who released the incense suddenly broke into the little girl's home, which frightened the courage of our farmer. .”

Fang Xiaofu sighed softly, and his eyes flicked to the faces of Zhao Shulang, Mr. Fang, and Mr. Zhou.

But Zhao Shulang was still surprised, looking at him with some worry, but his gaze was steady.But shopkeeper Zhou was worried and anxious.

Only the shopkeeper Fang was still holding the wine glass with lowered eyes, showing no emotion, and seemed not to pay attention to what she just said.So Fang Xiaofu's attention returned to him.

"It's not uncommon for thieves to patronize my home." Fang Xiaofu suddenly changed the subject when he said this.

"But the rarity is rare. The thief even ignored the fact that there were still people in the little girl's house who were still awake, and the lights were on in several rooms, so he even came to the little girl's window to blow incense. Is he blind or sick?"

"It's ridiculous that after the two thieves were caught, one said they were passing by from a neighboring village, and the other said they were flower picking thieves. I don't know if the big boss in the court would believe it or not, even our farmers didn't believe it?"

"But if it is said that the two thieves came here for money, why didn't they choose last night when the moon and stars were sparse, when it didn't rain day and night? But if it was said that they wanted to kill and set fire, why did they only target young women? "

Having said this, Fang Xiaofu sighed softly again, spread his hands out, with a helpless expression on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Mr. Fang's shopkeeper, his expression seemed a little unnatural.

"The little girl has not yet reached the age of Ji. She has lived in the village since she was a child, and she doesn't see many people. How can she offend anyone? Even if she argues with people over trivial matters, it is only a small conflict between people in the mountains. How can she attract such vicious people? "

"That's why the little girl's family felt strange. She had neither money nor beauty to steal. How could a little yellow-haired girl attract the attention of two thieves?"

"It's really strange." Zhao Shulang said slowly, he noticed Fang Xiaofu's eyes, even those eyes were a bit unfriendly, and his heart sank, "I don't know if those two thieves will be sent to the government?"

"We have reported to the authorities early in the morning. Our Fangshan Village has always been pure and honest, and there have never been bad people. Such a big event happened last night. Who would dare to hide it from the report? Besides, we must seek justice."

Fang Xiaofu nodded immediately, smiled and said: "What's even more strange is that the third uncle's house in the town also came to the house last night, not too many, not too many, and two thieves also brought Mixiang to explore the way. What a coincidence."

"However, the third uncle's family is also a businessman. There are people coming and going in the family and there are night watch patrols, so they were caught easily. They were also sent to the police early this morning."

"Two cases of burglary happened in one night. It seems that you have to step up your precautions these days." Zhao Shulang sighed softly, as if feeling a little emotional, "In our businessman's house, we also need to hire a lot of guards to guard against thieves."

"Mr. Zhao is right. But the little girl's family is in a farmer's household, so it's not as big as Mr. Zhao's family. But it's probably not a coincidence that these two ordinary incidents happened almost at the same time. That's why the little girl has many doubts and worries."

"That's the reason. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it's normal for one thing to happen, and two things may be a coincidence. But if two things happen in the same person's house, it will inevitably make people suspicious."

Zhao Shulang said clearly: "Since we have reported to the officials, I believe the elder will come to a conclusion."

"That's right, Brother Xia is planning to go back to town in the afternoon and go to the court to hear the results of the trial. The family is just a poor farming and studying family with no valuables. The purpose of this thief is really intriguing."

Fang Zizhan spoke suddenly.

"Everyone in the town knows that the shop in the next family caught fire a few days ago, and a large amount of goods just arrived were burned. It was a time of poverty, and this thief still went to patronize. I really don't know why."

Fang Ziyuan also opened his mouth slowly, his eyes lightly chuckled, and he stared at the shopkeeper Fang with some mockery and some provocation.

"What are you looking at me for? One of you is poor and the other is struggling. How do those thieves know? Maybe they just think that your house has good things, so they patronize you?"

Mr. Fang, the shopkeeper, was eating food and drinking in silence, and he planned not to participate no matter what the other party said.It's just that the eyes on the other side looked at him frequently, which made him suddenly angry and blurted out.

"What good things can we have in our house? This thief won't patronize sooner or later?" Fang Xiaofu asked back with a smile.

"How do I know? That's your family's business, not mine!" Mr. Fang choked up and said loudly angrily.

"Since you don't know, how can you say that those thieves came to patronize because they thought my house had something good?" Fang Xiaofu continued to ask, with a relaxed expression and the same smile.

Brother Fang Zizhan didn't speak this time.If everyone came to speak, wouldn't it become a unilateral interrogation?They just throw a topic at the right time.

It's nothing more than what happened to Fang's family last night, and it doesn't bother anyone.

"What do you mean?" Manager Fang threw down his chopsticks angrily, and glared at Fang Xiaofu, "Are you guys doubting me? If you continue to rant like this, I can only report to the authorities to seek justice!"

"Uncle, do you have persecution delusions? I just asked curiously following your own words, and thought you were smart enough to see something and come up with some countermeasures for my family."

Fang Xiaofu spread his hands again, and looked at the shopkeeper Fang with an innocent face: "But why are you so excited, uncle? Why do you want to blame yourself? We didn't say anything about you, uncle, so why are you so bloody? ?”

"You! You messing around, dead girl!" Mr. Fang stood up abruptly, pointed at Fang Xiaofu, and wanted to scold him again.

Suddenly he heard the big boss cough twice, his heart trembled, and then he realized that he had lost his composure, so he sat down quickly, lowered his head and dared not speak any more.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhao, I made you laugh."

Fang Xiaofu immediately said apologetically to Zhao Shulang: "The little girl's family suffered such an accident suddenly, and she couldn't calm down for a while, but she didn't understand why Manager Fang reacted so strongly. We didn't offend him."

"Zhao should say sorry." Zhao Shulang put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and looked at Fang Xiaofu indifferently.

"Lao Fang is not a bad person, but his wine quality is not good, and he gets agitated easily after drinking too much. Please don't be offended by Miss Fang, the two gentlemen, and the little brothers."

After Zhao Shulang finished speaking, he cast a sidelong glance at Mr. Fang, the shopkeeper, and said in a deep voice, "Go down and rest if you drink too much." Don't do bad things here.

Although Manager Fang was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey the big boss, so he stood up in response, gave Fang Xiaofu and the others another look, and then left the table.
