The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

The roads were slippery due to the rain, and there was no rush to go up the mountain in a day or two. With nothing to do, Chu Xiao wanted to go to the village to see the fun. If there was fun, he would definitely look for Wang Wu and Luo Ge.

When the four of them walked to the big tree at the entrance of the village, they heard the people there really talking about what happened last night.

"Hey, isn't this the young man from the Chu family? Do you know that something happened in your second uncle's family?"

Chu Xiao pretended to know nothing and asked, "What happened?"

"Last night, Chu Laoer's house was robbed. They said that the money from the sale of the land was stolen, and Li Xiulan's jewelry and house deeds were taken away."

"Oh" Chu Xiao nodded, not showing any concern at all.

"Not only that, Mr. Zhang's house was struck by lightning last night. I heard that the scholar was injured and was sent to the county hospital overnight."

This was something Chu Xiao had not expected. He thought that the thunder and rain were caused by his own failure, but he did not expect that it was actually an unexpected gain.

One of them added: "I heard that the Zhang family took the money from the Chu family. The firefighters found Li Xiulan's bracelet in the west wing last night."

"I'm afraid it will take Chu Lao Er ten or eight years to earn back what he lost this time."

Chu Xiao didn't know how long it would take to earn the money back, but it was true that they had been living a luxurious life with Boss Chu's things over the years. This was just returning the things to their original owners, and Second Boss Chu didn't suffer any loss.

"Speaking of which, the Zhang family is the weird one. Tell me, did they really steal the money from Old Second Chu's family and get struck by lightning?"

The other one thought of something and continued, "Weren't the Chu brothers also struck by lightning a few days ago?"

When everyone talked about this, they seemed to remember that there was someone who was struck by lightning last time and was standing here at this moment. They all looked over here.

"Brother Chu, you have experience, so tell me why you were struck by lightning?"

Chu Xiao: “…”

He does have experience. He has been struck by lightning four times since the end of the world, but the reason seems to be different each time. However, for him, being struck by lightning is not necessarily a bad thing. Each time he dies, he will be reborn again. He has gained the supernatural power of lightning. He was struck by lightning in the wrong way once, which improved his mental strength. This time, the scumbag Zhang was injured in one fell swoop.

He was quite proud in his heart, but he certainly couldn't show it. He shook his head and said, "You have to ask God about this. After all, I have already explained why the second Chu family and his son did this last time. They coveted my father's money and wanted to kill me, so they were punished by God. As for the Zhang family, I don't know."

"That must be because he did something wrong, what do you think, Brother Chu?"

"Aunt, please don't ask me. Brother Shen and I rarely come to the village, so we naturally don't know as much as you aunts and uncles."

I've just thrown out the topic, you can discuss the rest among yourselves, he didn't say anything anyway.

"What bad things did the Zhang family do? I can't say it was just because they stole money, otherwise the petty thief would have been killed by lightning."

An auntie who usually believed in ghosts and gods said mysteriously: "I think the person who has done the most evil things in this village is Li Xiulan. Maybe the thunder was meant to strike her."

"Then we can also strike down the Zhang family."

"Isn't there a saying that giving money can ward off disaster? Li Xiulan might have transferred the disaster by throwing the bracelet to Zhang's house."

"If you say so, then Li Xiulan might not have lost any money at all, and she might just be crying thief on purpose."

Chu Xiao thought this melon was interesting to eat. No wonder they were afraid of gossip. The villagers had a lot of ideas. If he was not a participant, he would have believed it.

Chu Xiao didn't expect that he would be in trouble before he could finish listening to the gossip.

"Chu Xiaoxiao, so you're here. It saves me from having to make a trip." A slightly shrill female voice and footsteps were heard behind her: "Did you come to my house last night and steal the silver? Return it to me as soon as possible."

When everyone saw Li Xiulan's family, Zhang Xiucai's mother and daughter, and the village chief and his entourage coming over in a mighty procession, they all fell silent, waiting for new gossip with glowing eyes.

The village chief had a gloomy face. He just went there to go through the motions. If anyone in the village lost something but had no evidence, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck. If anyone was not convinced, they could go to the county government to report the case.

But Li Xiulan and Zhang's mother insisted that he make the decision, saying that it must have been Chu Xiao who did it, and dragged him to argue.

Chu Xiao turned around and said, "You mean what you say? I also said that you hid my mother's heirloom, a piece of Hetian jade worth a thousand gold coins, shouldn't you hand it over?"

"Nonsense, how could your mother, a country woman, have a family heirloom?" Li Xiulan glared at Chu Xiao.

"If I say yes, then yes. Li Xiulan, you should know that the dowry does not belong to the husband's family. The second Chu has no right to occupy it." Chu Xiao asked the village chief: "Am I right, village chief?"

The village chief moved his lips, he really didn't want to get involved in this matter, and finally didn't say anything.

Li Xiulan didn't expect this person to speak so freely. Her face turned red with anger: "You...you little beast, you are slandering me. I have never seen any jade at all."

"Oh, I probably remembered it wrongly. After all, I was still young at that time." Chu Xiao seemed to be a little distressed and said, "But you said I stole your money right away. Do you have any evidence? If not, then it's also slander."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter.

Wang Wu even pinched his waist and shouted loudly: "Haha, Li Xiulan, why don't you show me the evidence? Otherwise, I will say that you stole my duck the day before yesterday and my chicken last month. Anyway, I don't need evidence. I will just say that you are who you say you are."

"I have evidence." Li Xiulan's face flushed. "Last night my house was robbed and the Zhang family was struck by lightning. They have grudges against both of our families. The only one who has the ability to do this is Chu Xiaoxiao."

"So?" Chu Xiao snorted coldly, "It's just speculation. I just heard a theory that makes sense. Do you think it's because you and Chu Lao Er have done too many bad things and are afraid of punishment from God, so you found a scapegoat and directed the disaster to the Zhang family. In fact, the money was not lost, but the thief is crying thief."

The aunt who said this when gossiping just now blushed, and another aunt next to her pushed her and whispered: "Hey, Brother Chu really believed it."

"It's not impossible." The aunt replied confidently.

She originally felt a little embarrassed about having the gossip behind her back spoken out in public, but since Li Xiulan dared to say it out loud without even saying anything, why should she be embarrassed?

"Don't talk nonsense. My house was indeed robbed last night, and the tiles on Wanwan's roof were all blown off." Li Xiulan argued with Chu Xiao because she naturally didn't want the Zhang family to misunderstand. After all, the two families were allies at this time.

"That's really strange. They didn't rip off any other house's roof, but had to rip off a girl's roof. Either the thief is a philanderer, or he has an old lover."

Chu Wanwan was standing behind his mother and had an aggressive look on her face. After hearing these words, she blushed with embarrassment. He hurried to see Zhang Yiju: "Brother Yiju, don't believe him. He is slandering me."

"Slander?" Chu Xiao shrugged. "Fellow villagers, you heard Li Xiulan say that he lost money and jewelry. Can you hear what Chu Wanwan lost?"

"That's because I locked the doors and windows, so the bad guys couldn't get in." Chu Wanwan argued.

"Where's the evidence?" Chu Xiao asked, "Besides, the roof has been lifted off, is there any need to use the doors and windows?"

Chu Wanwan's lips moved, and then she burst into tears: "Chu Xiaoxiao, you are destroying my reputation. How can you be so vicious?"

"Oh, you're crying already." Chu Xiao sneered: "Why didn't you think about my reputation when you went to my parents to make trouble? You can't stand my words. You really only care about the officials setting fires but not the people lighting lamps. What's more, you are nothing."
