"Thief?" Luo Zhongqiang wondered, "What happened?"
Su Jianmin and Su Xiaosi also heard the noise in the village. Although they were confused, they transported the feed back home first.
"Mom?" Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Su Xiaosi called to the second floor, "Third brother? Xiaowu?"
Hearing no response, Jin Bao ran to the second floor and saw no one at home. He guessed and asked, "Are mom, third brother, and fifth brother all going to watch the fun? It feels like most people in the village have passed by."
As she spoke, she had already walked to the balcony and saw a group of people gathered next to a century-old tree in the village. It seemed that someone was tied to the tree, but it was not clear who it was.
"Jin Bao, let's go take a look too." Su Xiaosi's tone was full of curiosity.
Downstairs, his father and Luo Zhongqiang were also staring in the direction where the crowd was gathering, wondering who the thief everyone was talking about was.
"Jinbao, you and Xiaosi stay at home, daddy goes over to see what's going on." Su Jianmin said.
Su Xiaosi rushed downstairs anxiously and said in an urgent tone, "Dad, I want to go too."
"Why are you so curious, kid?"
"I didn't inherit it from you," Su Xiaosi smiled and stuck out her tongue, "Dad, if you're not curious about what happened, why did you rush to watch the fun?"
Su Jianmin's cheeks turned red, "You kid..."
Jinbao walked down the stairs at this time and said, "Dad, let's go and take a look together."
"Okay." After Su Jianmin finished speaking, he took his daughter's hand and walked out. Next to him, Luo Zhongqiang originally wanted to tie Xiaobai temporarily in the Su family's yard, but he saw it raised its front hooves and kept shouting "Ahhhhhh".
Obviously he wanted to follow Jinbao, so he had to take it with him.
"Ah! He's not that person..." Su Xiaosi had good eyesight and recognized the man tied to the tree as Jiang Yun from a distance.
Unable to remember the name for a moment, he shook his sister's arm vigorously.
"Jin Bao, do you still remember him?" Su Xiaosi said, "The man who helped me catch the red carp!"
Of course Jinbao remembered Jiang Yun, and she was obviously surprised, wondering: Is it Jiang Yun? How could it be him?
At this time, Jiang Yun's mother had dried up her tears and begged everyone to let her son go.
"My Jiang Yun is very honest. He won't steal people's things. There must be some misunderstanding. (My Jiang Yun is very honest. He won't steal people's things. There must be some misunderstanding.)"
"Hao saw him stealing things with his own eyes, how can he still be false? (Hao saw him stealing things with his own eyes, how can he still be false)?"
"It's not just Ah Hao," everyone gathered together and said, "Many other children have also seen it. Jiang Yun took advantage of his height to bully the children in the village and beat them to force them to hide the things they stole.
.”
Everyone said that Jiang Yun was hopeless and that he was really bad.
Luo Minghao was being protected by his mother on his chest at this time. Seeing Jiang Yun tied to the tree in a panic, he felt extremely proud and raised the corners of his lips. Although he tried hard to hold back, he still couldn't control the smile of someone who succeeded in doing bad things.
.
According to his statement, he had been threatened by Jiang Yun before, and was bullied and pushed to the ground by him today, so he finally decided to tell Jiang Yun about stealing things.
"You bastard usually seems quite honest, but I didn't expect you to be so bad. Grandma Huang is so old, and he still steals her eggs. (You bastard, you usually look quite honest. I didn't expect you to be so bad. Grandma Huang is so old.
, he also stole her eggs).”
"Oh, I heard that he also stole the fish from the production team. Why don't his two uncles have to pay for this type of fish..."
"I remember that last time he drank fish soup at his house. He also said that Jiang Yun caught it from the river. Look, the fish was not caught at all. It was definitely stolen from the production team.
, how can such a big fish be found in the river?"
Hearing the suspicious words of the surrounding villagers, Jiang Yun's grandfather felt ashamed.
In order to restore his family's reputation in the village, he took out a thick and long riding crop from home.
"Your dad is not a good guy. He raised you to be a little bad guy. Today I will teach you a lesson for your dad. (Your dad is not a good guy. He raised you to be a little bad guy. Today I will teach you a lesson.
Your dad teaches you a lesson)."
After saying that, Grandpa Jiang Yun raised his riding whip and whipped Jiang Yun's body.
A loud "pop" sound pierced the air.
Even though he was just looking at it from a distance, Jin Bao couldn't help but frown.
Although she was not familiar with Jiang Yun and had only exchanged two or three words with each other, when she thought about him secretly sending bags of branches to her house, she felt that he really did not look like the kind of person who would steal things.
But if he didn't steal the things, why didn't he explain?
Jiang Yun was whipped three times in a row by his grandfather, and his skin was torn apart, but he didn't say a word.
His mother, Huang Yuzhu, had cried so much that she almost fainted.
She knelt on the ground and hugged her father's leg tightly, "Dad, don't hit me. If you want to hit me, I'm going to die anyway. You might as well beat me to death, Dad..."
"Go away, from today on I don't have your daughter. As for the little bastard you gave birth to, I will definitely beat him to death to give everyone an explanation and let him steal things. (Go away, from today on, I don't have you."
This daughter, as for this little scoundrel you gave birth to, I will definitely beat him to death to give everyone an explanation and let him steal things)!"
Grandpa Jiang Yun kicked his daughter away, raised his long whip and whipped Jiang Yun hard.
Jiang Yun, who finally couldn't stand the stinging pain in his body and whose clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, couldn't help but groan.
"If the beating continues like this, will he be beaten to death?" Su Xiaosi frowned tightly, gently tugged on his father's clothes, and said unbearably, "Stealing things should not be sent to the public security bureau.
? Why do you want to beat people like this?"
Su Jianmin also looked helpless and didn't know how to answer Xiaosi's question.
Rural people hate thieves the most. There are many thieves who have been hanged and beaten to death these days. No one cares about this kind of thing. After all, killing one person will serve as a warning to others. Others will not dare to steal after seeing the consequences of stealing.
If this was Su Jianmin's hometown, he could still stand up and say something to Jiang Yun, urging everyone to hand him over to the public security bureau to avoid causing trouble, but now he is a foreigner in the village.
Besides, the one who beat Jiang Yun was none other than his own grandfather.
Jinbao thought the same as her father, rationally feeling that it was not her turn to speak in this matter, but when her eyes suddenly met Jiang Yun's clear but desperate eyes, an impulse surged into her brain.
"No fighting!" Jinbao squeezed into the crowd and said loudly in a childish voice, "I can testify that brother Ayun is a good boy. In order to prevent my fourth brother from drowning, he not only caught fish for him with his own hands, but also
When my fourth brother decided to give him half of the fish, he still refused to take away the fish. How could such a person steal other people's things? Why do you say he stole things?"
Everyone did not expect that the little girl from the Su family would stand up and speak for Jiang Yun, and they were all very surprised. Among them, Luo Minghao felt that Jin Bao had ruined his good deeds, and said angrily: "I saw him steal Grandma Huang's eggs!"
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Jin Bao looked at Luo Minghao with sharp eyes and asked, "When did you see it? Morning or night? You should steal things when the night is dark and the wind is high, right?
Why didn't you sleep at night? Why did you peek outside the chicken coop? You even saw clearly that the person who stole the eggs in the dark was Brother Ayun. Do you also want to steal Grandma Huang's eggs?"
