Mrs. Dong understood as soon as she heard it, and immediately remembered the "brilliant deeds" of Mrs. Gao and Jiaoniang Chen's petty theft over the years, and hurriedly pushed Chen Yaowen: "Let's take a look quietly!"
The couple got up and put on their shoes, then tiptoed to the window, pulled out the latch, opened the window a crack, huddled together and looked out, only to find that the north dark room and the south dark room of the east wing were filled with lights¡ª ¡ª There are people inside!
Mrs. Dong said softly: "I haven't slept all this time, and I haven't heard the news of my brother and sister-in-law and Yuzhi coming back!"
Chen Yaowen was also a little confused: "I didn't hear that either!"
The couple looked at each other, and they both understood in their hearts - Gao Shi and Chen Jiaoniang are probably making old mistakes again!
Both Chen Yaowen and Mrs. Dong held their breath, and the room was quiet for a while.
After a while, Mrs. Dong said in a very soft voice: "Yu and his father, let me ask you, if this thief is caught by the eldest brother on the spot, will the eldest brother also want to separate?"
"It should be!" Chen Yaowen was excited, "It's all like this, if he still wants to maintain this family, he is really a fool!"
Dong's eyes shone brightly in the darkness: "If the family is separated, the two of us will work hard, and then follow the example of elder brother, sister-in-law and Yuzhi to do some small business, will Yuhe be able to eat enough?"
Chen Yaowen took a deep breath: "Say it, I will listen to you!"
Mrs. Dong leaned close to Chen Yaowen's ear and said a few words in a low voice.
Chen Yaowen agreed, and the couple closed the window lightly, bolted the window, and then went out the door, one tiptoed to the east wing, and the other lightly headed towards the gate.
Chen Jiaoniang got out from under the bed, ignoring the dust on her head and dress, angrily went to Mingjian to get the iron chisel for poking the charcoal stove, knelt down in front of the bed, and raised the upper bunks one by one. I want to see if Chen Yuzhi has hidden the silver under the floor tiles.
Open one, no.
Opened another one, still nothing.
She was able to turn over, and simply turned up the three rows of floor tiles in front of the bed, but still found nothing.
Chen Jiaoniang's eyes fell on the earthen pottery vase on the window sill, she hurried over, picked up the earthen pottery vase, took out the peach blossoms inserted in it and threw it on the table, then tilted the earthen pottery vase, slowly She poured out the water in it, and at the same time continued with her hands, to see if she could flush out some broken silver¡ªshe suspected that Yuzhi had hidden the silver in it.
The water was all poured out, and the broken silver was still gone.
Chen Jiaoniang angrily threw the bottle back on the table.
At this time, Gao's surprised and delighted voice came from Nananjian: "Jiao Niang, come here quickly, there is something in this room!"
When Chen Jiaoniang heard this, she didn't care to put all the floor tiles back in place, she got up and stepped over the messy floor tiles on the ground, got up and went to the south dark room.
Mrs. Gao was standing in front of the bamboo couch in Nananjian, when she heard the movement, she hurriedly said: "Here is a bag of broken silver!"
Chen Jiaoniang leaned over to look.
Gao Shi took the purse and approached the oil lamp, looked at the light, and said hesitantly: "Jiao Niang, could this purse belong to your elder brother?"
Chen Jiaoniang took a closer look and saw that it was a half-new purse made of jade-colored material with a clump of bamboo embroidered with emerald green silk thread. The angry purse must belong to Chen Yuzhi's little hoof!"
She grabbed the purse and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket.
Well, the money is heavy, it feels so fulfilling!
Gao Shi pointed to the two rolls of cloth placed on the bamboo couch: "Look at these two pieces of cloth, they are still brand new. They should have been bought with public money behind our backs!"
Chen Jiaoniang looked at it and said: "This white cloth is the famous Songjiang Baifeihua cotton cloth. It feels soft and has beautiful patterns. Let's take it away. Anyway, they bought it secretly with public money. Forgive me Don't dare to yell!"
Gao Shi nodded, and together with Jiao Niang, they carried the white cotton cloth and walked out.
Arriving at the door of the Ming Room, Chen Jiaoniang asked Gao to hold the cloth alone, and reached out to open the door of the Ming Room by herself, but she didn't open it.
She immediately pulled the door hard, but the door just shook - it turned out that it was locked from the outside!
Only then did Chen Jiaoniang panic and slam the door hard.
Gao Shi hurriedly said: "Little ancestor, keep your voice down, don't be heard by the people in the second room!"
Chen Fugui was drowsy in the room, but when he heard something wrong outside, he hurried out.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "bang", and then Chen Yaozu rushed in, called "Father", and went straight to the east wing with the cage on his back.
? Chen Yaozu because everyBefore dawn, he had to go to butcher a pig, and he had to pay for the pig, so he always carried money with him. Today, the purse containing the silver was in the bedroom. The reason why he rushed back was because he was afraid that his mother and sister would take the purse. steal!
Behind him are mother and daughter Wang and Yuzhi, who followed Chen Yaozu to the east wing.
Seeing this, Chen Fugui knew that something was wrong, and was afraid of causing a big incident, so he went to the East Wing Room in a daze.
Chen Yaowen followed slowly, and deliberately loudly said: "Huh? What happened? A thief broke into the house! Yu and his mother, come here quickly!"
Mrs. Dong immediately ran out from the west wing, and immediately shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law, what happened?"
Chen Yaozu really panicked, he has never run so fast in his life - he has to go to the pig farmer to settle the bill tomorrow, if he loses it and loses his credit, then he will never be able to work in this industry in the future!
Panting, he rushed to the door of the East Wing, only to see that the door of the East Wing was bolted from the outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on his knees while wearing the cage, and gasped for breath.
Someone in the East Wing was shaking the door vigorously at this time, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound, which was mixed with the shouts of Gao Shi and Chen Jiaoniang.
Chen Yaozu was really angry this time, but he just ignored it and gasped for breath.
Yuzhi and Wang stepped forward, and they understood everything.
?In order to delay time, Yuzhi pulled Wang Shi, and the mother and daughter stepped forward to remove the cage on Chen Yaozu's back.
Hearing Mrs. Dong's voice in the yard, Yuzhi had an idea, and hurriedly said loudly: "Third Aunt, it seems that there are thieves in the house! There are thieves in the house! I don't know how many people there are!"
Mrs. Dong understood, and immediately stood in the yard and shouted loudly: "Our Chen family has recruited thieves, and the neighbors and eight houses are here to help! Everyone, come quickly! Come and catch the thieves!"
In the countryside, it is always important to pay attention to distant relatives rather than close neighbors. In addition, Xihe Town is close to the border between Dazhou and Xixia, so the neighbors often help each other. The gate was wide open, and everyone rushed in. Seeing that the East Wing was bustling with activity, they also surrounded it.
Chen Fugui finally came to his senses, and now he didn't care about drinking alcohol and getting dizzy, he rushed up and said: "It's okay, our family is playing around, it's okay, everyone, go back quickly, and waste the time of the neighbors !"
All the neighbors originally came to catch thieves, but who knew that there would be such a big commotion to watch, they were all very excited, wishing to get closer to watch the commotion, where would they go?
At this moment, Yuzhi stretched out her hand and pulled the latch open, only to hear an "ouch" from inside, followed by two muffled "plops", as if someone had fallen.
At a glance, Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Sun, the neighbor to the west, standing beside her with a lantern in her hand, so she borrowed a lantern from Mrs. Sun, leaned over to take a look at it, and said loudly, "Grandmother, sister-in-law, what are you doing in our house?" ?¡±
Sun is the aunt of the scholar Sun Erlang, who always loves to watch the excitement, and now she is busy and squeezes people to watch.
Everyone gathered around, the lanterns illuminated clearly, Gao Shi and Chen Jiaoniang fell to the ground with a roll of white cloth in their arms!
Mrs. Wang hurriedly called Yuzhi over, and the two women moved away the cloth together, and pulled up Gao and Chen Jiaoniang.
When Yuzhi pulled Chen Jiaoniang, she found that there was something wrong with her sleeves, so she stretched out her hand and pinched it, then reached in like lightning, and took out a jade-colored purse from Chen Jiaoniang's sleeve in front of everyone.
When Chen Jiaoniang saw it, she wanted to snatch it immediately.
Yuzhi picked up the purse, turned around quickly, held up the purse for everyone to see, but asked Chen Yaozu: "Daddy, is this your purse?"
Chen Yaozu gave a muffled "hmm" and took the purse.
Yuzhi suddenly realized: "It turns out that grandma and sister-in-law entered the East Wing to steal Daddy's money!"
Seeing Gao Shi and Chen Jiaoniang's distressed appearance, all the neighbors whispered.
Chen Fugui squeezed inside, and shouted loudly: "Yuzhi, what are you talking about, your grandma and sister-in-law are clearly trying to help your family catch thieves!"
Yuzhi just ignored, and stood there pretty, her face was flushed, her eyes were sparkling, and her eyes swept over the surrounding neighbors: "Neighbors, this purse is the capital of my father's business; my mother and I make stewed pork." For business, our capital is kept separately, please come in and help us to be a witness to see if my mother and I¡¯s capital is still there!¡±
One of the people liked to watch the excitement, and the other saw the injustice of the road. At this time, they naturally agreed, and a swarm of bees would squeeze into the east wing.
Gao Shi and Chen Jiaoniang's mother and daughter blushed from their ears, and their cheeks turned purple for a while. Only then did they react, and immediately started to stop everyone, but there was no way to stop them.
Gao was furious, and immediately clapped her hands and jumped up, cursing while jumping, and at the same time going forward to beat Yuzhi: "The thief doesn't want to die, you little bastard! If you provoke a family to discord, I will beat you to death." Little prostitute!"
Yuzhi reacted quickly, and had already pulled Wang to hide behind Chen Yaozu.
