“Why did you bring us to the kitchen?” Someone asked.
Bei Yutang did not answer.
When they walked into the kitchen, they saw the noodles that Bei Yutang had made before. Li Zheng and others were still confused and did not understand what she meant.
Li Mei was the first to shout: “What do you mean? Where is the money?”
Bei Yutang gave her a stern look, her contemptuous eyes without even a trace of concealment, “Our family is poor, and those who are poor eat these things. I guess, Mrs. Li, your family is very rich, so they must eat and drink every day.”
When she said this, these people finally understood what she meant.
White flour is a rare thing in farmers’ homes. Throughout the year, people rarely eat it at home. If Bei Yutang’s family was really too poor to open the pot, how could they still have flour to eat?
Looking at the bag next to it, there is a lot of white flour. Those white flour can be exchanged for several buckets of corn.
“Mrs. Li, are you going to say that all the white noodles in my house were stolen from your house, and your son saw it with his own eyes?” Bei Yutang said sarcastically.
Li Mei’s face turned red as she was squeezed.
Didn’t she mean that she is poor, so she must have no money? Now let’s show them who has no money and who is shameless.
Bei Yutang stretched out her hand and said, “Bring me the money. This money is for my son to buy cabbage.”
Li Mei stared at her. If she had given it today, wouldn’t she have admitted that she had framed Er Gouzi? She could not bear this shame.
“Just because your family is rich, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t steal the money.” Li Mei said anxiously and wisely.
Bei Yutang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and pressure suddenly emanated from her body, “You won’t cry until you see the coffin. Since you won’t change your mind, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Let’s see the official. I will prove in court who the money belongs to. At that time, when the county magistrate makes a decision, you will be waiting to go to jail.”
She looked serious, and the people around her knew that she was not joking.
Seeing an official, this was unacceptable. In the eyes of ordinary people like them, only major events will go to the government. Small things like this are all solved by Li Zheng.
Li Mei herself had a guilty conscience, but now she was frightened by Bei Yutang’s bluff.
Five pennies were lost at home, and she knew clearly that her son had taken them away. She originally wanted to repair her son, but the little slick guy saw that Er Gouzi had three pennies on him, so he assumed that he had stolen it.
Li Mei took advantage of the situation and pinned the crime on Er Gouzi so that she could make up for her own money.
Now that she has to go to jail for these five cents, Li Mei will definitely not accept this crime.
Li Mei said with an ugly face: “I’ll give it to you.”
But in order to avoid being criticized, Li Mei added: “I will give it to you because I don’t want to get into trouble with the government over this trivial matter.”
How could Bei Yutang not see her little thoughts?
“Don’t be so reluctant, just go see the official directly.”
The tougher Bei Yutang’s attitude became, the more guilty Li Mei felt.
Sure enough, Li Mei’s face became extremely ugly.
At this time, Li Zheng, as the peacemaker, spoke, “Since Mrs. Li has said it, you should take a step back and let us all live in peace. We are all from the same village. We will not meet when we look up and we will meet when we look down. Harmony will bring wealth.”
Having said what Li Zheng said, Bei Yutang is not an ignorant person. In the future, there will always be a place where Li Zheng can be used in the village, so she should sell this face to Li Zheng.
“Okay. I will keep my face today and won’t argue with you. But if I hear rumors about you slandering my son in the village, we will go to the government and let the county magistrate judge.”
