Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 188

Since what happened to Yuan Sheng, there was a lot of discussion in the village. When Wan Wan went out for a stroll in the village in the afternoon, Yuan Baoniang and the others saw her and asked her how things were going.

They were all close friends, and she smiled and told the truth: "... Baishou got the news from Guanshi Liu, and the third young master has already found out. This matter really has nothing to do with Yuan Sheng."

They all breathed a sigh of relief for her, and said one after another: "That's good, although Yuan Sheng is usually naughty, his character is definitely good!"

"Yes, yes, I don't know which heartless person would do such a thing!"

For a while, several people guessed again.

Wanwan once suspected that it was Yang Feng, but Yang Feng acted very angry at that time, and he was the son of Yang Yizhi. Yang Yizhi and Yang Kaishi both had very good reputations in the village, and they were related by the same blood. will do this kind of thing.

In this way, this matter is a bit strange!
Chatting with a few people for a while, when Wanwan was about to go back, he saw Wang Qingshan rushing home, followed by a woman, after a closer look, it turned out to be the woman Wen who delivered the baby for her.

The people standing on the side of the road were all attracted by the hurried figures of the two.

Yuan Baoniang walked to Wanwan's side and said softly, "Isn't that Wen Po? Could it be that the Qingshan family is about to give birth?"

At this time, I heard a person next to me say: "It seems quite anxious, didn't you see Qingshan's daughter-in-law walking outside this morning?"

"Yes, yes, why is she going to give birth so soon? Isn't there something wrong?"

"Ah? How can it be? Could it be a dystocia?"

Wan Wan and Yuan Bao Niang listened to the words of the people next to them and looked at each other, couldn't these people think of something good?
When she went back, she heard that Wang Qingshan's daughter-in-law was indeed about to give birth, and she seemed to be in great pain. Sitting in the house next door, Ge Jinlian could hear Ge Jinlian screaming in pain!
This made Wanwan think of how painful it was when she gave birth to a man, but now the impression is a little blurred, I just remember it was very painful!
*****
Just when Wanwan was completely relieved about Wang Yuansheng, she suddenly heard a shocking news the next day.Wang Yuansheng was tied to the mine for stealing money.

After only explaining a few words to the next life, she left the work in hand and ran up the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, she met Baishou who was about to go up the mountain. He wanted to go up by himself to see what was going on. When I went back at night and told Wanwan again, I didn't expect that she already knew: "Why are you here?"

"I heard something happened to Yuan Sheng?" Wan Wan asked anxiously.

"I've just heard it from someone too, and I don't know the specifics..." As he spoke, Baishou hurried to the mine with a tight lead.

Arguing with Yang Feng, being punished by Steward Liu, and being able to plead for mercy, and being tied up shows how serious the matter is!And Wanwan doesn't believe that Wang Yuansheng hasn't repented after what happened last time.She was also afraid that something might happen to Wang Yuansheng.

But the more anxious and the more chaotic, she obviously often climbed mountains to exercise, but now she was so tired and out of breath after turning over a mountain, Baishou was a little worried when she saw her: "Why don't you take a break?"

Wanwan gasped and waved at him, what if Wang Yuansheng was beaten late?
But he had to climb another mountain to get to the mine, Baishou was also very anxious, so he said: "Why don't you come over slowly, I'll go first."

It seems that this is the only way to go, at least Baishou can stop for a while, but the footsteps of people who have been running on the mountain for many years are fast. After a while, Baishou's figure disappeared in the opposite mountain forest, and after a rest, he turned towards Go across the mountain.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, from the time she was pregnant until the child was one year old, she hadn't worked on the mountain for two years, and she was so exhausted.Can you be so tired after driving a mountain road?At the same time, I also deeply realized how difficult it is to transport coal from the mine to the foot of Yangjia Village, and I felt less blame for Wang Yuansheng's laziness in my heart!

The mine is easy to find, the mountain road is bumpy, and there are fine coal cinders falling along the road, and the mountain road leading to the mine is also more solid.

After finally arriving at the mine, before reaching the mine, she heard the commotion from above, she quickened her pace, and when she walked up the last stone staircase, she saw a crowd of people. However, the most conspicuous one was Wang Yuansheng, who was tied to a tree in the middle of the crowd.

Guanshi Liu, Xie San was standing beside her, her father was talking with his head down, wiping his tears with his sleeve from time to time, and opposite to Wanwan's father stood a tall and rough man, who should be from the batch of coal diggers from Xie's family One of them.

When she got closer, she realized that in addition to the workers in this mine, there were also many people from the village who came up to watch the fun, men, women, old and young, three floors inside and three floors outside, and it was only then that she saw clearly how old Wanwan's father was. There were Wanyoucai father and son standing next to them, it seems that the General Assembly has stopped working at this moment!
What a serious matter!
She felt uneasy, she pushed through the crowd and managed to squeeze in, just in time to hear her father apologizing to someone!

"Xie Da, although my Yuan Sheng is naughty, it is impossible for him to do such a thing!"

"It's impossible. He can steal the coal as well as the silver. Besides, my second brother was the last one to leave that night." The man named Xie Da said in a stern voice, and the two hills next door were roaring loudly. everyone can hear.

"That matter was a misunderstanding, and our family's Yuan Sheng is innocent." Wan Wan's father argued hard.

"I don't care if he stole the coal or not. Anyway, he must have stolen the money. There are two choices now. First, pay the money; second, send it to the government!"

Xie Da had a tough attitude, as if he would beat someone up if he didn't want to.Wan Wan's father frowned, his face was as bitter as gallbladder: "Ten taels of silver, how can we afford it, besides, we didn't do it!"

Wanwan's eyelids twitched, ten taels of silver is not a small amount, although her income from making waxed goods at the end of each year is tens of taels, that is because she was lucky to cooperate with Xie's family at the beginning, no matter what she sells or what she earns, the unit of silver is the same. Calculated in copper plate.

For someone like Wang Qingshan who sells betel in the market, it is unprecedented to earn a tael of silver a day.Even if you work in the mine and the output is good, it will take three months for ten taels of silver!
At this time, Baishou, who had finished inquiring about the situation, came over, Wanwan immediately pulled him to ask what was going on, Baishou smiled wryly, and told her what he had found out.

It was the night when Wanwan left her father and Wang Yuansheng for dinner, the two did not go back immediately after leaving Wanwan's house, because there was a moon that night, so the father and son came to work in the mine. knew.

Indeed, many people came out that night to continue working in the mine while the weather was good.

But that night, the ten taels of silver on Xie Da's body disappeared.Most of the twenty or so coal diggers who came out with Master Wan were servants of the Xie family, and there were many with the surname Xie, and the third brother Xie was one of them.

The three brothers worked outside with Master Wan for many years, and when they earned money, the three brothers asked someone to take it back with them.

Xie Yi had previously told these servants that if anyone wanted to send money home, they should put it in shopkeeper Yu. Every six months, shopkeeper Yu would send someone back to Xie's house, and then Xie's family would hand over the money to his family.

The three brothers of the Xie family had already handed over the money for the previous few months to shopkeeper Yu. This time, it was exactly two months' wages. The three brothers put all the money in Xie Dana as usual, and Xie Da was going to go to the restaurant tomorrow to hand it over to shopkeeper Yu.

It was also his carelessness, the money was in the jacket pocket, and he sweated profusely, so he took off the outer jacket and put it in Xie Er. Xie Er happened to be on duty that night, so he didn't go into the cave to dig coal.When Xie Da came out of the cave, he was tired and sleepy, and went to sleep when he returned to the tent. He didn't think of money until he went to the market the next day, but he searched all the clothes on his body and couldn't find it. The two brothers and the other two said they didn't take it, and only then did the three know that the money had been taken.

But when he returned that night, Xie Dalian went to sleep without taking off his clothes. If someone took off his jacket, he would know.It wasn't stolen while he was asleep, then there was only one possibility, that it was taken when he put the jacket on the construction site.

At that time, Xie Er was a little sleepy because he was too tired from working during the day, and he was thinking about other things, so he didn't pay much attention to his brother's mandarin jacket, and he didn't expect that the money was there.Later, he went to the latrine twice and naturally took the clothes away, so inference, the most likely reason is that someone took the money at that time.

However, there was still no clue, and the three brothers didn't notice Wang Yuansheng until the incident of stealing coal broke out.If you can steal coal, you can steal silver.

After two days of investigation, the three finally found out that Wang Yuansheng was the last one to go down the mountain that night.So Wang Yuansheng must have stolen the money, found Liu Guanshi and Xie San, and immediately tied Wang Yuansheng, but Wang Yuansheng insisted that he did not take Xie Da's money.

If you refuse to admit it, you have to send it to the official for investigation.

But Wanwan's father once heard that some prisoners were sent to the Yamen, if the other party bribed them with money, the Yamen servants would torture and whip the prisoners in the prison, and life would be better than death until they pleaded guilty.And the reputation in the prison is not good!

He was afraid that Wang Yuansheng would suffer, so he begged for evil. Xie Dacai did not send Wang Yuansheng to the official, but ordered him to tie him to a tree, saying that he would stay tied to the tree until he gave him an explanation, and he would not pay him any money!
Wanwan is really speechless, if Xie Daruo really sent Wang Yuansheng to the government, at least there are two acquaintances Xie Tian in Baishou, and she can also ask shopkeeper Yu to find out the truth. I believe that she and Xie Yi With a cooperative relationship, Wang Yuansheng will not suffer in prison.

Now that everyone knows about it and is tied to a tree, this is a bad reputation!

However, I still have to ask her father to verify what happened. When she saw Wanwan and Baishou coming, Wanwan's father pulled her and Baishou as if he had found a savior, and said in a choked voice: "Second sister, you need to save her." Yuan Sheng! I asked him, and he really didn't steal Xie Da's silver."

Wang Yuansheng almost cried with joy!

He has never wished to see Wanwan so much, no matter whether Wanwan beats or scolds, he is willing.From the moment he was tied to the tree, he was eager to see Wanwan and Baishou, and it was only now that he realized that in his heart, Wanwan and Baishou were the most powerful people in their family!
Seeing Wang Yuansheng's pitiful look, Wanwan was angry and felt sorry for her parents, and then asked her father to tell what happened that night.

　Tomorrow, the baby will drink for a hundred days. There are a lot of things these few days, and there are not many words.
