Chapter 64(1/2)
Early the next morning.
Li Qiao was still busy in the farm when he heard a rapid knock on the door from outside.
He exited the farm and opened the door.
"Li Qiao, would you mind if I came to take a look at those things?"
The second uncle opened the door and asked with a smile.
What else could Li Qiao say? He stepped aside and said, "Please, second uncle."
The second uncle entered the house, looked around pretendingly, and said, "Well, your house is nice. There are no mice or cockroaches. It's spacious and the door locks are strong. I made the right choice when I put things in your house yesterday!"
Li Qiao ignored him, pointed at the pile of things and said, "Second uncle, everything is being taken and put away. I haven't touched it. Just look at it!"
The second uncle nodded and said, "No rush, no rush, let's all watch together when the others arrive."
Li Qiao was a little speechless. Is there anyone else?
What is this for?
It’s just something worth twenty yuan. Is it necessary to be serious about it?
Just as I was cursing, a group of people came in outside the house.
The first uncle, the third uncle, Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Jia Zhang, the first aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt, and some other neighbors came.
There were more than a dozen people.
Li Qiao was a little dumbfounded. Why did so many people come?
The main room of his house can hardly stand anymore.
"Li Qiao, don't think too much. It was the second uncle who asked us to come together to check the supplies. After all, the supplies were bought with everyone's money. Everyone is very concerned about the situation of the supplies. Please understand."
The old man said.
Li Qiao was too lazy to say anything and pointed at something: "Whatever."
The second uncle said, "Okay, I'll open the bag and let's check it out together."
After saying that, the second uncle opened the first bag.
The mouth of the bag is tied tightly with rope.
The second uncle untied the rope and said, "This is for melon seeds."
Then, he showed everyone the melon seeds in the bag.
"Hey, that's not right. Why does it smell musty?"
With the tip of her nose, Qin Huairu immediately smelled something wrong in the bag.
"Really? Does it smell musty?"
The second uncle pretended not to know anything, reached out and grabbed a handful, then showed it for inspection.
"oops!"
Seeing this, the second uncle screamed in surprise.
"how so?"
Other neighbors also screamed.
"Hey, they're all moldy seeds!"
Xu Damao said in shock.
The first and third uncles each quickly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and showed them for inspection.
At this sight, their expressions also changed.
All the melon seeds were moldy, and some had green fuzz.
"Look at something else!"
The second uncle shouted in shock.
So, all the neighbors opened the other bags and looked at them in a hurry.
"Oh, even peanuts are moldy!"
"Ah, the walnuts are full of insect excrement!"
"The candies are all sticky. How long has they expired?"
"Only the shells are left on the broad beans!"
“The green beans are all infested with worms!”
Everyone was surprised to find that everything had gone bad and rotten overnight.
"What...what's going on?"
The old man asked in surprise.
At this time.
The second uncle held a handful of moldy melon seeds, walked up to Li Qiao, and asked sadly: "Li Qiao, how did you keep them?"
The third uncle also asked: "Yes, Li Qiao, how did these things become like this?"
Qin Huairu gloated: "We saw with our own eyes yesterday that all the good things we brought in turned bad overnight!"
Silly Zhu: "Yes, we have all tasted it ourselves."
Jia Zhangshi: "Did you switch the package? Change the good stuff and replace it with bad stuff?"
Xu Damao: "Boy from the Li family, you are in big trouble. Isn't it true that you turned the tables? This is too clumsy!"
Lou Xiao'e: "Li Qiao, you..."
At this moment, Li Qiao woke up quickly after being dazed for a while.
He walked over, grabbed the items in the bag and looked at them, and found that they were indeed all bad.
"Li Qiao, what do you have to say?"
The second uncle chased him and questioned him.
Li Qiao looked back at the second uncle and suddenly laughed.
"You...why are you laughing?"
The second uncle felt somewhat guilty.
"nothing."
Li Qiao took a long breath and said, "I just suddenly felt at ease."
The second uncle looked at him inexplicably and thought to himself, is this kid just trying to pretend to be crazy? We can't let him succeed!
In fact, Li Qiao was really relieved.
Since yesterday, he has been feeling that there is a conspiracy surrounding him, but he has never been able to figure out what it is.
Now, seeing the scene in front of him, he suddenly understood that the conspiracy was aimed at his money.
"Second uncle, let's be honest, how much do you want me to pay?"
Li Qiao asked directly.
The second uncle was suddenly stunned. He had prepared many words to question Li Qiao. As long as Li Qiao dared not admit it, he would use those words to blast Li Qiao to death and make Li Qiao embarrassed.
Who would have expected that Li Qiao would be so happy that he directly mentioned compensation without even a word of questioning.
this……
The second uncle was caught off guard!
The first man: "Li Qiao, don't you explain?"
Third uncle: "That's right, this matter is a bit strange."
Li Qiao: "There is nothing to explain. If things go bad in my house, I will naturally bear the responsibility!"
Xu Damao: "Well done, I admire you a little bit, Li family boy."
The second uncle: "Li Qiao, this is your choice. No one else forces you."
Li Qiao: "Tell me, how much do you want me to pay?"
The second uncle, the first uncle, and the third uncle discussed it for a while.
The first uncle: "Li Qiao, what we said yesterday was triple compensation..."
Li Qiao: "Then I'll pay 60?"
Second uncle: "No, those things are twenty-five, triple it is seventy-five!"
Third uncle: "Isn't it twenty?"
The second uncle: "Twenty is the discount given because of Ge Li's face. Of course we can't discount it with Li Qiao! He has to pay seventy-five percent!"
