These words were undoubtedly caused by the splashing of water from the oil pan, which immediately crackled. There were many people in the yard, and they couldn't ask questions, so they turned their attention to Zhang Xiucai.
Zhang Xiucai's face was like a flash of light, his face flushed, and he pointed at Qingyu and denied: "You kid, you are talking nonsense. I don't know you, how can you know my family affairs."
Jiang Mutou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He stepped forward and picked up Zhang Xiucai's collar, gritting his teeth and asked: "Where is your hometown?"
Zhang Xiucai suppressed his anger and advised: "Master-in-law, don't listen to the nonsense of a child. How can you take what a child says seriously? Everyone in the neighborhood knows what kind of person I am. If you don't believe it, go out and ask who doesn't
He can say a kind word about me, Zhang Xiucai."
"Who is your father-in-law? I haven't agreed to this marriage yet." Jiang Mutou was furious. No one else knew, but this guy dared to tarnish his daughter, so he was definitely not a good person.
But Jiang's wife persuaded him: "Let go first. How can a child's nonsense be taken seriously? Besides, there is no real evidence. Don't hurt my uncle."
"You..." Jiang Mutou looked at his wife bitterly, but his wife had a sad look on her face. She turned her head and glanced into the room, as if to say, now that the matter has come to this, what else can she do besides getting married?
Jiang Mutou slowed down and finally let go of his hand angrily.
The farce seems to have come to an end.
Matchmaker Liao looked at the "culprit" and couldn't help scolding: "You are such a small hooves. If you beat a mandarin duck with a stick, your life will be shortened. Why are you so wicked? You almost ruined a great marriage."
Then he shouted to the onlookers, "Whose child is this? The adults just don't care about it?"
No one responded, and they all shook their heads that it was not their own.
But Qingyu said again: "If you don't believe it, ask the brother by the wall, and then call out the Jiang sisters, and you will know after asking." She pointed at the onion.
Onion was currently squatting on the ground with his forehead resting on his knees. He didn't see that everyone's eyes had turned to him.
Jiang Mutou glanced at Qingyu suspiciously, "How did you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know it. If you have doubts in your heart, it would be best if you solved them. Don't hold back."
Jiang Mutou became more and more confused, but when he saw Congtou's cowardly look, he felt angry and shouted, "Cion, come here."
Onion suddenly raised his head when he was yelled at, and looked at everyone in confusion. He was not used to being watched by everyone, so his face turned red and he walked over with his head hanging down.
Jiang Mutou felt more and more strange and looked at Qing Yu with questioning eyes.
Qingyu jumped off the wooden box and came to Congtou under the strange looks of everyone, calm but intimidating:
"If you don't tell the truth, the Jiang family will be destroyed because of your one thought. The kindness of the Jiang family in raising you is as great as a mountain. You must not be ungrateful."
Onion's originally red face lost all color, and he looked at her in panic.
Others were stunned when they heard this.
Zhang Xiucai was upset because his good deeds were ruined. He was angry and shouted: "Isn't this a wild child that no one wants? Everyone, you are all adults and you have no business listening to a child misbehaving here. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"
Matchmaker Liao was also afraid that her good deeds would be ruined, so she said: "If no one cares about this child, just throw him out. Why is he causing trouble here?" Then she went to lift Qingyu's collar.
Qingyu evaded deftly and said reproachfully, "You have brokered countless good things, but don't ruin your reputation just because of a small profit now. When the time comes when the Jiang family is in such a miserable state that everyone is ruined, how can you, the matchmaker, get away with it?"
"
Matchmaker Liao paused, her arrogance diminished a lot, "Everyone in the neighborhood knows Zhang Xiucai's character. What do you, a little kid, know? If you open your mouth, your family will be destroyed. A child's words can't be blocked. Do you know what this means?"
Jiang Mutou and his wife also looked sternly, looking at Qingyu, "What do you mean by this?"
Qingyu smiled softly, but her eyes seemed to penetrate into Zhang Xiucai's bones.
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts. It's good to have two surnames. You still need to find out your family background." Then his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Congtou coldly, "Aren't you telling the truth? Huh?"
Onion trembled because of the shout. Perhaps he was frightened by the sentence about family destruction, or for other reasons. He glanced at Jiang Mutou in panic, then stared at Qingyu for a moment, and finally hemmed and hawed: "Silver.
..It was...I stole it."
Jiang Mutou pursed his lips tightly for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "We will discuss this matter later."
"No." Onion's voice was timid and urgent, "I stole the silver at Sister Lan's request. I didn't take a single copper coin of the twenty taels of silver and gave it all to Sister Lan.
I saw with my own eyes that Sister Lan gave him the money." Pointing to Zhang Xiucai.
Zhang Xiucai's face was panicked, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't get the money. You stinky boy, a toad wants to eat swan meat. You covet Miss Jiang's beauty, so you want to ruin our good things. You are too vicious."
.”
Onion didn't argue with him and told the biggest secret that was weighing on his heart. On the contrary, he felt light and a little broken: "Master, what I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Sister Lan to come out."
Confrontation."
Jiang Mutou and his wife were stunned for a long time before turning their eyes to the house where their daughter was.
Although there were many people watching the excitement in the courtyard, they were all neighbors, so it was difficult to interrupt at this time, and the scene became quiet for a while.
Zhang Xiucai looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Qingyu, and he yelled angrily: "It's all your fault, you stinky girl, why don't you get out of here." As he said this, he picked up a wooden stick on the ground and hit her with it.
"That's enough." Jiang Mutou, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly shouted, grabbed Zhang Xiucai's wrist, and then said to his wife: "Go and call her out."
Jiang's wife did not move, shaking her head and crying. Jiang Mutou was so angry that he threw Zhang Xiucai down, then angrily kicked the door open and dragged Jiang Chenglan out.
"Tell me, did you give him any money?" Jiang Mutou scolded him with a stern face.
Jiang Chenglan was already frightened, tears were streaming down her face, and she was speechless.
"You're a rip-off, I'll beat you to death today." Seeing her like this, Jiang Mutou was so angry that he became dizzy. He looked around and spotted Zhang Xiucai. He took a few steps over and grabbed the stick in his hand.
, a stick to my daughter’s back.
"Master." Onion Tou said in a moment, then quickly, he rushed forward and blocked Jiang Chenglan's back, and he got a hard blow.
Neighbors also stepped forward to hold Jiang Mutou, and they tried to persuade him with their words.
Jiang Mutou's face was pale, he was so angry that he fell dizzy and fell to the ground, having to gasp for air.
Jiang's wife was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. She grabbed her daughter one by one and said, "Why are you so confused? Why are you so confused? You bastard, you really want to piss your parents off to death."
"
Jiang Chenglan was also frightened, and endured the pain and confessed in panic: "I lent the money to Zhang Xiucai. He has bought a lot of books recently, and the money from his hometown has not yet been sent, so he looked down and came to me to borrow twenty taels.
Silver turnover.
Besides, this money is not for his use. He wanted to propose marriage and was afraid that someone would get ahead of him, so he borrowed twenty taels of silver from me to buy a betrothal gift."
After Jiang Mutou heard this, he looked at the twelve large boxes in the yard in shock, "So, he came to propose marriage, but instead asked you to pay a betrothal gift?"
We are going to be a family anyway, so why worry about it so much. Jiang Chenglan murmured in a low voice, but unexpectedly a laugh suddenly came from her ears, which scared her so much that she almost flew out of her mind. She turned around in panic and looked at the child in front of her, "You
