Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"Brother Jing, maybe you are tired of looking, so why not have a cup of tea first!"

Li Jing glanced at her but ignored her.

After opening the door, he looked around outside the back eaves of the kitchen, but didn't see anything suspicious.

Li Jing stretched lazily towards the sky. Just as he was about to go back to the house, his eyes inadvertently swept across the roof and discovered something was happening on the roof.

Seeing a covered dustpan on the roof of the kitchen, Li Jing gently took away the dustpan and saw a piece of coarse cloth, which seemed to be wrapped in something.

Li Jing took down the coarse cloth package and opened it.

Without thinking too much, he took it and ran into the house, whispering to his mother Qin: "Mom..."

At this time, aunt Zhang looked at the coarse cloth in Li Jing's hand, and Qin took the coarse cloth from her son's hand and opened it.

Qin didn't say anything, but just glared at her aunt Zhang, then pulled her sleeve and walked towards the yard.

Zhang lowered her head very low, rubbing her hands, looking panicked, as if she was looking for a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Come on, come on, everyone, come and take a look, what is this?"

Qin placed the package gently on the ground in the yard, and then carefully opened the coarse cloth.

When the rough cloth opened, everyone was surprised.

The brother and sister were overjoyed to see that the truth had been revealed, and An Nian even jumped for joy.

That's right, just a dozen eggs.

At this time, An Tiancai and his wife lowered their heads and remained silent. They were like two defeated roosters, and they no longer had the momentum to fan the flames as before.

Everyone in the yard was staring at the couple. It seemed that they wished they could tear off their old faces and hide them in their pockets.

Zhou walked straight over and counted them carefully. There were fifteen in total, which was exactly the right number.

"Okay! You two idiots, I've always believed in you."

"The result is that the two of you are acting like the thief crying thief!!"

After she finished speaking, Zhou looked around with angry eyes. She picked up the broom in the yard and was about to hit her son An Tiancai.

An Tiancai saw his mother holding a broom and about to hit him, so he quickly dodged.

In this way, the mother and son chased each other around in circles all over the yard.

Aunt Zhang stood there, not daring to move. Qin asked Zhang in a sonorous and powerful voice, "What excuse do you have now?"

Zhang didn't say anything, just stood there rubbing her hands and stamping her feet.

"Send it to the government!" Qin turned to her husband Li Huairen and said.

When Zhang heard that they were going to be sent to the government, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Village chief, please don't send us to the government, please."

Suddenly, a man came in from the gate. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, of medium height. It was An Tiancai’s son An Qing.

When he entered the yard, he saw his mother Zhang kneeling on the ground begging. He hurried forward and asked, "What happened?"

Grandfather An Chengde asked, "Is Qing'er back?" Anqing nodded to his grandfather.

Then he hurried to the village chief and asked anxiously, "Uncle, what happened? Why did you send my mother to the government?"

Qin said, "Your parents stole your grandmother's eggs and wanted to frame Anyan and Yue. Now that there is evidence, they have committed the crime of theft."

An Chengde asked: "If we send him to the government, what kind of punishment will he receive?"

The village chief said, "According to the law, ordinary theft is punishable by twenty strokes of the cane at the least and three years' imprisonment at the most severe."

An Chengde had always been extremely partial to his eldest son. When he saw that his eldest son was going to be sent to the government, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

He put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and said sadly, "What...what should I do?"

An Chengde pointed at Zhou and cursed, "You damned old woman, look at what you have done! Just for a dozen eggs, you have to make such a fuss?"

“I…I…” Zhou was panicked when she saw that things did not develop in the direction she expected.

Anqing knelt in front of the village chief and said, "Uncle, please don't send them to the government. They know they are wrong."

Village chief Li Huairen and Qin did not speak.

An Qing turned around and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, you are so stupid! How could you do such a shameful thing?"

Zhou stepped forward to persuade Qin, "Sister-in-law, you and I are both mothers, so let's spare the couple!"

As Zhou spoke, she began to cover her mouth and sob, "Qing'er's wedding is coming soon. If we bring this matter to the government at this critical moment, I'm afraid Qing'er's marriage..."

Aunt Zhang's face was covered with tears. She knelt in front of Li Huairen and his wife. She pulled Qin's clothes with both hands and begged, "Uncle, aunt, please don't send us to the government. Qing'er's wedding is coming soon, you can't do that!"

Qin snorted coldly and said, "Humph! You didn't look like this when you framed the siblings before!"

"If you want to ask for help, go ask the siblings! See what they say and do what they say."

At this time, everyone's eyes were on the brother and sister.

If An Yue had followed her first thoughts, she would have wanted to send her uncle and aunt directly to the government, have them beaten with a stick and serve hard labor in prison, only then would she feel relieved.

But she changed her mind and realized that Brother Anqing had always been good to her and her brother. Besides, there is an old saying that misfortune should not affect one's wife and children.

The sins of this cheap uncle and aunt should have been punished by themselves, and Brother Anqing should not be harmed. Besides, Brother Anqing's wedding is imminent. If the matter is made a big deal and becomes notorious, his marriage will surely be cancelled.

An Yue thought about it and decided to just let it go regarding the slander from her uncle and aunt. She really couldn't swallow this humiliation.

She looked up and saw that the brother and sister had just returned. There were no adults at home, so fetching water and chopping wood were necessary in their daily life.

These things are so trivial and complicated. If we can let my uncle do the hard work, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Firstly, it can relieve the hatred in my heart; secondly, it can preserve my brother Anqing's marriage; thirdly... I can have a temporary helper to do the hard labor. Anyway, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and it seems very feasible.

An Yue was about to start speaking, but quickly closed her mouth.

In this matter, we have to make them come and beg me, only then will we have the conditions to negotiate with them.

So, An Yue just stared at her uncle and aunt, without any sympathy in her eyes, and she didn't intend to speak first.

Because she was gambling, gambling that they would beg for mercy first.

Aunt Zhang turned to look at An Yue, her expression filled with hatred, helplessness, and hesitation.

An Yue was thinking of counting to five in her mind, and she silently said:

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

Just as An Yue was counting to three, the aunt stood up from in front of Qin.

"Four!" When An Yue counted to four, her aunt Zhang had already walked up to the siblings.

At this time, perhaps my aunt-in-law found it difficult to speak, she bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head and said nothing.
