Evil and cute medical concubine: The prince came to plough the fields

Chapter 24 The Temptation of Silver

When the two of He Liancheng rushed to the gate of the ancestral hall where the Liu family worshiped their ancestors, the villagers on the outer three floors and the inner three floors had already surrounded several circles.The women wore aprons, the men rolled up their trousers, and were covered in mud. They all stretched their necks to look in!

"Second brother, what are the patriarchs calling everyone for?"

"It's said that it wasn't the patriarch who struck the clock, but the little daughter-in-law Qing Niang who Liancheng bought for a tael of silver!"

"Hey, look at her cowardly and timid appearance, I can't think of her being so courageous!"

"Not only that, I heard that the patriarch asked us to catch iron pincers every day, and she brought it back!"

"boast!"

"Shh, don't let people hear you, let's see what's going on!"

A group of people focused their attention on the ancestral hall, and no one participated in the gossip news that He Liancheng and Liu Dahai were leading a horse.A few people guessed the reason why Qingniang called everyone here, and discussed in a low voice but heatedly.

"Brother Liancheng, go in and take a look first, don't let Qingniang feel wronged, I will tie the horse for you!"

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

He Liancheng patted Liu Dahai on the shoulder, pushed aside the crowd, and entered the ancestral hall on crutches.

In the main room of the ancestral hall where the ranks of the ancestors are enshrined, the patriarch and several respected uncles in the village are sitting respectively. In the middle of the main room, there is that petite but stubborn back standing!
He recognized her at a glance, it was his daughter-in-law of He Liancheng - Qing Niang!
"Qing Niang, it's okay for you to ring the bell to call the villagers here, and you will be guilty of delaying the spring plowing?" The patriarch looked angry, and stared at Qing Niang energetically with his narrow, bright eyes, and his voice was full of anger.

"Yeah, it's almost time to open the gate, and the seeds in this field haven't been sown yet!"

"Women, what's wrong with delaying the main business of spring plowing? Let's all go away!"

"This daughter-in-law of the Liu family has really turned the world upside down, it seems that the rumors are not groundless!"

Liu Laoer and his wife were standing closer to the front, and they could completely hear the conversations of several people in the main room.The two gloated at Qingniang, and glanced at Heliancheng who was also standing in the front row. As long as Mu Qingniang was punished, they would go to the patriarch to intercede for her.At that time, don't they have to obediently honor them with everything they buy in the city?
The husband and wife stared at the room with mischievous eyebrows, and the small calculations in their hearts were crackling.I kept shouting in my heart to hurry up, and my hands were already clenched into fists with excitement.

"Father, mother, what do you think this little bitch is going to do? Why do I feel a little uneasy?"

"Fuck you, shut your crow's mouth and watch carefully, just like your worthless daughter-in-law, why did my mother give birth to such a stupid son like you!"

As soon as Liu Rudong finished speaking, Mrs. Hu yelled at him, including Mrs. Tong.Looking around, he didn't see the second son and daughter-in-law, and felt even more annoyed, and then scolded Tong Shi a few more words!

Tong Shi stood aside with her head lowered, twisting her handkerchief, her face blushing, and she didn't say a word.When Liu Rudong was scolded, he felt a hundred times unhappy, squinted at Tong Shi, and spat: Useless things!
He Liancheng looked at the people in the main room, and wanted to rush up several times, but was held back by Yuniang and Liu Dahai who squeezed in.Yuniang whispered a few words in his ear, and the people around him felt a chill, but Heliancheng gradually calmed down, just watching quietly!

"Mu Qingniang, you rang the bell privately and interfered with the work of the villagers. After we discussed and unanimously decided, you will be fined two taels of silver..."

Qingniang stood in the middle of the main room and couldn't help sneering.I really don't know if the few old things here are out of money and crazy, even she has to pay for the bell to report the crime.This world is sad and deplorable!
"Patriarch, elders, it's wrong for Qingniang to strike the bell today and delay everyone's spring plowing. Qingniang will compensate you with 200 Wen per person later. But..." Qingniang deliberately amplified the decibel when she said this, and looked around the outside of the house , loudly said: "My house was patronized by thieves today, and all the things I bought yesterday were stolen. In addition, the 100 taels given to me by the shopkeeper of Fumanlou had more than [-] taels left, and all of them were stolen."

"Wow..."

Before Qing Niang could finish her sentence, there was already a breath of air-conditioning inside and outside the house, more than 100 taels of silver, this is an astronomical figure.

Qingniang looked around at the stunned man, and continued: "I beg the patriarch to seek justice for me and recover the stolen things!"

The patriarchs wanted money, so Qing Niang offered the money with both hands, cutting off the way for the patriarchs.What she meant was obvious. Someone must have been jealous of the things they bought yesterday, and they stole all of them while there was no one at home.Now, the patriarch and the others have no choice but to bite the bullet and find the thief. Everyone knows that this daring little thief is from Xiaohe Village!

And the reason why she wanted to say that the more than 100 taels of silver was stolen was to tell the people present on purpose. How much temptation is more than 100 taels of silver, only those who have experienced poverty and uselessness know so much silver.Her purpose is very simple, to force out the thieves, and let her reveal herself!

In fact, Qingniang already had doubts about the candidate in her heart, and the corner of her eyes also lingered on Liu Laoer and his wife.Mrs. Hu had the cheek to ask for things yesterday, but she didn't get any benefits, so she must have a grudge, and today she stole things while she was not at home.It's just that when Liu Erer and Hu Shi showed painful expressions, Qingniang trembled slightly. Could it be that she was wrong?
"Mu Qingniang, as we all know, your family is so poor that you can't get rid of it. Where did you get so much money? Also, why did the boss of Fumanlou give you so much money for no reason?"

The patriarch was the first to jump out in disbelief. How could one of the poorest people in the village get rich overnight and become the richest person in the village?
"Yeah yeah!"

"Quickly tell me, where did you get so much money?"

The uncles echoed one after another, with disbelief written all over their chrysanthemum faces!
After Qing Niang's sharp eyes scratched Liu Laoer and his wife for a few times, she turned around and smiled, looked up at the roof that needed to be repaired long ago, and said in a low voice, "Of course I have my way of making money. As for I don’t need to worry about the elders. Now just help me find what I lost, and I will add another ten taels of silver to repair the ancestral hall!"

After the young lady finished speaking, she already had an extra ingot of twelve taels of snowflake silver in her hand!
Twelve!

The patriarch and several uncles were surprised again, the ancestral hall really needed to be repaired, and they were preparing to let the villagers show their filial piety!When Qing Niang said this, they were indeed moved!
"What do you want from the Liancheng family?" In a short period of time, the patriarch changed his tone!

Qingniang glanced at the curious people outside, put her hands behind her back, and said with the corners of her mouth hooked: "Search the village!"
