Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"Oh, how pitiful. The Zhao family's husband is not at home, and there is no one to support them. No wonder they are bullied. However, this outsider is too arrogant."

"We can't let them get away. We'll surround them. We'll surround them."

"Village chief, what do you think we should do? Should we report to the police?"

Seeing that everyone was on her side, Fubao's mother covered her stomach and wailed even louder, "Ouch, it hurts so much, you bastards, I took you in out of kindness, and this is how you repay me? And this kick... It hurts so much, I must have broken a bone this time, hurry up, everyone, help me find a doctor. I'm going to sue the authorities, I'm going to sue them."

Although Ergou stood up for Lin Xiaoyue in a fit of anger, he was still a taciturn person at heart. He couldn't even think of a word to refute Fu Bao's mother's tantrum.

Xiao Cao saw him being pointed at, but he just gritted his teeth and said nothing, he couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and pushed the person away, then used the eloquence he learned from Lin Zhaodi and started to talk.

"Don't make yourself sound like a kind-hearted bodhisattva who took us in out of kindness. We paid two taels of silver for a night's stay, and you didn't even give us a cup of hot water or a bowl of rice. We had to cook it ourselves.

Oh, speaking of boiling water and cooking, the money for firewood is given to you separately.

Don't act like you are so kind, it's just a transaction of money and goods.

Besides, why doesn't your daughter sleep in the house in the middle of the night, but stays in the yard? Who does she think she is?

Why was she injured? How could she be injured for no reason? If she hadn't sneaked into the carriage to rob something, would the automatic system in the carriage have been activated? "

Yes, before going to bed at night, Xiaocao was still worried that the valuable things that the emperor gave to Sister San Ya were placed in the carriage and not put into the room, so she even thought about sleeping directly in the carriage to guard the things.

Lin Xiaoyue pressed her down on the bed and told her that an automatic device had been installed in the car. If someone had bad intentions and wanted to sneak into the car to steal something, the crossbow would automatically fire.

Only then did Xiaocao calm down and go to sleep.

Who would have thought that I did not sleep well. In the middle of the night, an "oil thief" really sneaked in and tried to steal things, but was shot by the mechanism set up by Sister San Ya.

Should!

When everyone heard this, they didn't know which side to help.

Although the girl was very young, she spoke in a powerful and eloquent voice and she didn't look like she was lying.

Besides, it was the middle of the night, and everyone would be dozing off in the house. The fact that Fubao, the little girl from the Zhao family, came out for a stroll in the middle of the night really made people think too much.

However, the Zhao family woman really dared to ask for a lot. She only asked for two taels of silver for a night's lodging, regardless of food or drink. She even charged extra money for firewood to boil water and cook. She was really mean.

Seeing that everyone changed their attitude, Fubao's mother started to get anxious.

"Don't talk nonsense. You gave me the two taels of silver, and I also told you in advance that we are only providing accommodation. We don't provide food and drink. If you are dissatisfied, you can tell me in advance, or you can choose not to stay. No one is forcing you."

Xiao Cao was so angry that she laughed and couldn't help saying, "Yes, you have informed us in advance, and yes, we accepted it. But you didn't warn us in advance and tell us that you would sneak into the carriage and steal in the middle of the night."

Fu Bao's mother's face was extremely dark, and she said angrily, "What right do you have to accuse our daughter of stealing your things? Why should we do such a petty theft? Our family is not in dire straits. Why would we do such a petty theft?"

"That's a good point. Then why don't you explain why your daughter was shot by an arrow? The crossbow arrow was placed in the carriage. If no one went in to do anything bad, she wouldn't have been shot for no reason."

Xiaocao now speaks with confidence and is eloquent, having completely inherited Lin Zhaodi's true skills.

After hearing all these words, Fu Bao's mother was almost suffocated by them.

The two sides were arguing and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, with a cold wind blowing outside, and the villagers, who were generally eager to watch the fun, started chattering.

"Hey, I think what this outsider said is right. This thing was placed in the car. If Fubao didn't get into the car to steal things, she wouldn't get hurt."

"Yes, yes, I think so too. Look, those outsiders are dressed much better than us. And the carriage and the horses, they all look like they belong to a wealthy family. No wonder Fubao girl had such evil thoughts."

"I wanted to introduce Fubao to my nephew before, but now it seems that Fubao is not a clean person. If she enters the house, she will just catch a mouse in the rice jar, right?"

"I said that the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family spoiled the two children every day. They didn't learn well at a young age. Now they are almost old enough to be married. Now, what happened? Who would dare to marry Fubao girl in the future?"

"That's right. No family would dare to marry a girl like this."

Everyone was talking at once, one person saying something at a time. In the silent night, the unpleasant voices rising and falling one after another were particularly harsh.

Seeing that everyone had completely sided with the outsiders, Fubao's mother angrily slapped Fubao on the arm. As a result, her wound split open and began to bleed again.

"Bao'er, tell everyone, you didn't plan to steal anyone's things. You just came out to relieve yourself, and you were blinded by the wind and snow, so you turned to this carriage by mistake. As a result, you were accidentally injured by the machine... the mechanism in their carriage. Tell everyone quickly."

Fubao was also anxious at this moment. She waited until the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, before she sneaked out.

Who would have thought that such a seemingly ordinary carriage would actually have such a mechanism?

She was hit by an arrow and was in great pain. Not only did her mother not try to cover up for her, she also beat and yelled at her.

Let her talk about it, what will she say? Could it be that she just thought that the other person was rich and thought that since the two carriages were so big, there must be some valuable things there?

Besides, she’s not the only one who sneaked out to do sneaky things, isn’t her little brother here too?

But the little guy was lucky. He had not grown tall yet, so the arrow just barely brushed past his head and did not hurt him.

As a result, she was hit by an arrow, but the brat didn't care about her and just ran away.

The village chief and other villagers saw that the two sides were deadlocked. In addition, these outsiders looked like they were from wealthy families. They couldn't afford to offend them, so they didn't dare to suppress them, fearing that they would offend someone they shouldn't. After a moment's silence, they said, "This matter is indeed a bit complicated, but since both sides insist on their own opinions, why not report it to the authorities tomorrow morning and let the government make the decision."
