six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 241
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, as in previous years, Su Liu and the others paid New Year's greetings to Mrs. Chen, and then they went to visit their acquaintances in the village.

Walking around the alley of the old house, but seeing a lot of villagers surrounded in front of the old house from a distance, there was a faint noise, Su Liu and the others looked at each other and walked over.

Before he got close to the old house, he heard Huang's loud voice crying, and the swear words burst out like firecrackers.

"This plague sufferer has a terrible death, the old woman's coffin was stolen, plague sufferer bastard, God, open your eyes and have a look, let a thunder strike kill this plague sufferer."

Su Liu blinked, was it stolen?

Before she could think about it, Su Xiao had already asked an aunt. Seeing that it was Su Xiao and the others, the aunt was overjoyed and started talking.

"It seems to have been stolen, even the New Year's money for a few children was stolen. Oh, I don't know who did it. It's really unlucky to have this happen on the first day of the new year. What do you think this family has suffered? ?” That aunt is also a wonderful person, and she completely put Su Xiao and the others far away from the old house.

Su Xiao sneered: "Who knows."

"The Yacha is here." Someone shouted in the crowd.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

Looking at the reputation, I saw Su Fusheng coming forward with two yachamen with knives at his waist, Su Liu Yangmei, and dispatched to the yamencha, did he lose his entire wealth?

People rushed towards the door of the old house, wanting to know how much money was lost in the old house and who stole it.

Su Liu and the others didn't deliberately go forward, but everyone in the village knew their relationship with the old house, so they voluntarily and consciously moved out of the way. The bun is also a little messy at this time.

Mr. Su, who was also in the courtyard, was talking to two officials about the loss of money at home, including the food money sold last autumn, plus the money he had saved before, a total of more than 20 taels of silver.

More than 20 taels of silver, to Su Liu and the others, is naturally a tenth of a cent, but to most of the poor or ordinary people in Da'ao Village, it is still a huge sum of money.

Not to mention, last year's summer harvest lost a lot of food due to the drought. Now that they have lost such a large sum of money, how will they live in the coming year?
The two yamen servants went into the room to have a look, and asked a few more questions. Gradually, Su Liu noticed that old man Su's expression changed.

"You mean by an acquaintance?" Huang jumped up.

"You have said it yourself. You haven't rummaged through this thing, and you haven't smashed the door lock. Then you must know where your family's money is stored. If you are not an acquaintance, can an outsider know?" Two yamen The difference is very contemptuous.

Mrs. Huang's face darkened, and she immediately turned to Mrs. Zhou and the others standing in the yard, angrily said: "Well, guard against day and night, house thieves are hard to guard against, you unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, eat me, Those who lived in me spent my money, and even stole the old woman’s coffin. Say, where did the money go?”

"Grandma, don't spit blood on people, who stole your money?" Su Chuntao was the first to jump up and cry out for grievances.

"I didn't steal it!" Su Jinquan pursed his lips, his eyes were full of anger.

"If it's not you, who else is it? I'll just see that you guys look like thieves, just like your old lady. Quickly take out your money, or you'll all be kicked out of the house." In her heart, Mrs. Huang decided that it was Mrs. Zhou who did the tricks.

"We didn't take it, mother, you have to have a spectrum for wronging people, the sky is bright and bright, and God is watching!" Zhou's face, which is more than ten years old, twisted, because of thinness, cheeks and cheekbones were raised high. The angry eyes are even more protruding.

"You bastard-stricken scumbag, you dare to refute you. I'll see if you took it or not. If you find it, you take these and get out of Su's house." Huang pointed at her lips. Shaking, he rushed towards the East Chamber.

"That's enough." Mr. Su suddenly yelled, stopped Huang, and then said with a smile to the two yamen's servants: "This time I have troubled the two yamen's elder brothers to go through this time, we will not investigate, we will not investigate. .”

"Old man!" Huang's eyes widened in shock.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, two yamen servants have to come to deal with such a mess, and it's not such a big matter as killing people, and there is no reward, who will be happy?At that moment, with a snort, he left a few mocking words and left without pain.

Old Master Su winked at Su Fusheng, who had a dark face. Although Su Fusheng was reluctant, he still stepped forward and closed the gate of the yard with a bang.

There is no show!

But the villagers did not disperse, talking about it with great interest.

"It's an acquaintance, who do you say?"

"Hey, when it was dark yesterday, when I came back from the field to catch field mice, I seemed to see the figure of the boss of the Su family." A man said suddenly.

"Isn't it? He dares to go back to the village?" Everyone's eyes turned to Mrs. Chen and the others.

The story of Su Changsheng's robbery and wounding spread throughout the village. Since then, Su Changsheng has not appeared. Some people say that he escaped, while others say that he was hacked by the gambling house. In general, there are different opinions, but Su Xiao and the others never asked the government to tear off the wanted list, even if old man Su and the village chief begged and begged.

"It's the New Year's Eve, who knows if he's hiding outside, and he definitely wants to come back." Someone glanced at Su Liu and the others again, and said, "I see, the money from old man Su's house must be the one that was touched. went."

Su Liu lowered her eyelids, and greeted Chen and the others: "Let's go back."

Walking far away, I can still hear the people behind talking about their grievances and grievances with the old house, some sympathize with them, and some say they are cruel, Su Liu can't help but sneer.

Ruthless, that's not too cruel, Su Changsheng had better not appear in front of them, otherwise, she would let him know why the flowers are so popular?

"Sister, do you think that person stole it?" Su Xiao asked gossipingly.

"Ninety percent!" Su Liu replied without thinking. She saw Mr. Su's thoughtfulness and change of face, and he probably thought that the money at home was stolen by Su Changsheng.

"So, did that person really go back to the village?" Su Xiaomei's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth bitterly: "It's really sneaky, and this made him escape again."

"He won't be able to escape far, the silver is gone, he will appear eventually, and it will be very soon." Su Liu's mouth curled into a cold smile.

Su Changsheng has become addicted to gambling. Since he can hurt people for money, then with money, he will definitely go to the gambling house to make money. This is the mentality of a gambler.

"It's really hopeless." Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "If this goes on, how can he end well? How many people have been harmed by gambling? Sigh, those gambling houses should be shut down."

Su Liu hesitated for a moment, she wanted to say, your daughter just took over a casino too!

No matter ancient or modern, there are darkness, she doesn't do it, more people do it, what she can do is try her best, that is, people die with light debts, don't make people's families ruined.

Inside the old house, Mrs. Huang looked at Mr. Su as if he was looking at a lunatic, and said sharply, "Are you a fool? If you don't investigate this gang of thieves, do you want us to eat the northwest wind?"

"Shut up." Old Master Su glared at her, and said, "Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

"Shameful?" Huang's voice was sharp and sharp as if cutting the tip of a knife. It sounded very penetrating, and she shouted, "20 taels of silver are all gone. Isn't this shameful? What do you eat in the spring next year? This big family eats tree roots and bark? You and I are quite old, the other end is close, and the coffin has all the money in it, ouch, how can I live like this? I won’t live anymore!”

Mrs. Huang resorted to her usual trick again, sat down on the ground, patted her thighs with both hands and cried, "Bastard who suffered from the plague, the Zhou family killed my daughter, and now they are coming to kill my old lady again, oh my mother!" Hey. You plague-stricken people will die badly, the old woman’s coffin is all stolen, woo woo..."

"Those who stole from you deserve to be struck by lightning!" Su Jinquan yelled angrily.

"Jin Quan!" Old Master Su's complexion changed drastically, and he reprimanded him, "I haven't spit out before, but you can also say such words, so I'm not afraid..."

Mr. Su was never stricter than before. Although Su Jinquan's temper became more and more perverse, seeing Mr. Su getting angry, he still felt a little embarrassed in his heart, so he couldn't help taking a step back and lowering his head.

The Zhou family was not stupid for being able to keep Su Changsheng for more than ten years in the past. When she said that she had lost money at home, she was startled. Until the Yacha said that it was done by an acquaintance, she already vaguely knew that this was the case. The acquaintance you mentioned, who is it!
Hearing Mr. Su reprimanding the elder son again, the doubts had already reached nine points, holding back the shock in his heart, Mrs. Zhou carefully asked: "Father, don't you know who stole it?"

As soon as these words came out, the Huang family stopped howling and looked at old man Su, even Su Fusheng and his wife looked over.

Old Master Su closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden, he sighed and said, "Don't talk about this."

Zhou's face turned pale, it was really that dead ghost, he wanted to kill their mother and son, goddamn bastard, he came to the house as a thief, and if word spread, how could their mother and son see people?What else can Jin Quan and the others have to say?
"Father, could it be that elder brother came back and stole this?" Su Fusheng couldn't help asking.

"What?" Mrs. Huang jumped up from the ground as if her tail was stepped on, and said sharply: "The boss did it? Damn it, how could he do such a thing, how could he! More than 20 taels, a big family chewing on it, why is he so cruel!"

"Can't you keep your voice down, because you want everyone in the village to know that our family is a thief?" Old Man Su was very annoyed, and said angrily, "Also, are you trying to recruit Miss Liu and the others? Are you wanted? The list hasn’t been revealed yet, so is the boss going to jail?”

"The one who suffered from the plague, I would rather he go to prison, so as not to harm us." Without thinking about it, Huang shouted: "Such an unfaithful and unfilial thing will not hurt when it dies. If it is addicted to it, he will die." Sooner or later, our family will be killed."

Su Fusheng's face couldn't be darker, and he said: "Father, mother is right, if brother continues like this, we will be killed sooner or later."

Old man Su closed his eyes in pain, how could he not know this?No one is as distressed as he is, but does he really want to push his son to die?
