Outside, Zhang Shunchang walked in from the crowd with his hands behind his back.

"Noise, noise, noise! ​​What are you doing again? Can't you let people relax so early in the morning?" Zhang Shunchang shouted angrily. He felt that there were too many annoying things in the village recently.

As soon as Zhang Xiu'e saw the village chief coming, she immediately stood up shaking her fat body.

"Village Chief! This little widow Jiang Xiaohe is preventing me from managing my household affairs!"

I bother!

Jiang Xiaohe also stood up and said, "Village chief, what kind of family affair is this that requires beating a little girl half to death? I just saw her beating her own niece like this, and I couldn't stand it, so I took action." As he said that, he pushed Xu Xiaohua out.

Xu Xiaohua's face was now red and swollen, her clothes were torn in some places, and her hair was messy. She didn't look like a little girl at all. In front of the village chief, she pinched the corner of her clothes stiffly, with a look of grievance on her face. No matter who saw it, they would be moved!

Zhang Shunchang immediately became angry, pointing at Xu Xiaohua and asking Zhang Xiu'e: "Is this what you call your family affair? How old is she? You beat her like this! But you are her aunt! She is the only child of the second branch of your Xu family. It would be fine if you don't love her, but what serious crime did she commit that made you do such a cruel thing!"

Zhang Xiu'e pursed her lips, but immediately said confidently: "She stole my money! Stealing is a serious crime! Should I indulge her in such a thing?"

As soon as she said Xu Xiaohua stole, Xu Xiaohua immediately burst into tears and waved her hands: "No, no, village chief grandpa, I really didn't!"

Aunt Hua in the crowd couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to say, "Everyone in the village knows what kind of person Xiao Hua is. To be honest, I don't believe that she stole things or money."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people immediately agreed.

Everyone has seen how Xu Xiaohua's life was. No matter how hard her life was, she never stole food from anyone. How could she have the courage to steal money now?

Jiang Xiaohe took the opportunity to point at Zhang Xiu'e and said, "Village Chief, this woman keeps saying that she lost money. Xiaohua's money is hers, but we asked her several times and she couldn't tell us how much money she lost!"

After hearing what she said, Zhang Shunchang immediately looked at Zhang Xiu'e, but Zhang Xiu'e lowered her head and looked very flustered.

"Xu family, tell me, how much silver did you lose?"

"This..., I..."

"You can't explain it, right? You just saw that Zhang Xiaohua had money, and you were jealous, so you wanted to blackmail her for money!"

Zhang Xiu'e immediately retorted: "You're talking nonsense!"

"I farted?" Jiang Xiaohe sneered and raised the purse again: "Then tell me, how much silver is in this purse?"

"Yes..." Zhang Xiu'e looked at the purse and didn't know, so she could only guess: "There are eighty coins!"

Everyone gasped! Eighty cents! How dare Xu Xiaohua!

Jiang Xiaohe smiled.

"You're laughing your ass off!"

"I'm laughing at you! You're just a piece of shit!"

"You..." Zhang Xiu'e rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush over.

"Enough!" Zhang Shunchang yelled, and she was afraid to move again.

Jiang Xiaohe said to Zhang Shunchang: "Village Chief, please don't blame me for being nosy, because I know how Xiaohua got this silver, and I also know how much silver there is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xiu'e chuckled: "She stole from me. If you knew, you would be her accomplice! I said that she was a girl, and she dared to steal money. It must be you who instructed her!"

The crowd's ears stretched.

Jiang Xiaohe rolled her eyes at her and said, "Didn't you say you lost eighty cents? There's more than eighty cents here!" As she said that, she handed the purse to Zhang Shunchang.

Zhang Shunchang weighed it in his hand and nodded slightly: "It is indeed more than eighty cents."

Everyone took another breath.

Zhang Xiu'e was embarrassed!

"How is that possible? It must be eighty cents!"

Jiang Xiaohe chuckled: "Why? This purse has always been here. Could it be that someone put money in it?"

Zhang Xiu'e's face turned red with anger, and everyone's eyes changed when they looked at her.

"Jiang Xiaohe, then tell me, how much silver is in this bag?" someone in the crowd asked.

Jiang Xiaohe pulled Xu Xiaohua and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiaohua, did you hire a doctor for your grandma yesterday?"

Xu Xiaohua nodded.

"how much did you spend?"

"I hired Doctor Niu from the village and spent 20 coins on him."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded, raised her head, and said loudly: "There are 95 coins left in the bag!"

Everyone immediately looked at Zhang Shunchang, who had already poured the copper coins into a dustpan in the yard and started counting them. Finally, he nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed 95 coins!"

The eyes of the crowd were even more unpredictable.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at Zhang Xiu'e and said, "Now you can admit that you were the one who embezzled Xiaohua's money, right?"

Zhang Xiu'e shook her head guiltily: "I didn't, I remembered it wrongly, I just lost it, 95 cents!"

Jiang Xiaohe laughed again: "Are you sure you remembered it right this time?"

Everyone didn't know why Jiang Xiaohe asked this question.

Zhang Xiu'e thought Jiang Xiaohe was a fool. The village chief had just counted it and it was 95 cents.

"If I remember correctly, it's 95 wen!"

Jiang Xiaohe stared at her and sneered, then said to the village chief: "Village chief, because Xiaohua's grandmother is sick, Xiaohua invited Doctor Niu from the village to come and see her yesterday. It cost 20 coins, so the total amount of silver is 115 coins! If the village chief doesn't believe it, we can invite Doctor Niu to confront him and we'll understand."

The village chief immediately asked someone to invite someone.

Zhang Xiu'e's face turned purple and she felt like she had fallen into Jiang Xiaohe's trap!

After a while, Doctor Niu came and immediately admitted that he had treated Grandma Xu Xiaohua yesterday. He also confessed that he had indeed charged her twenty cents yesterday!

Zhang Xiu'e's face was unpredictable, and now she was left with only guilty feeling.

"Zhang Xiu'e, what else do you have to say now?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiu'e with changed eyes.

"The dirtiest thing is the human heart!" Jiang Xiaohe said.

Everyone agreed with this statement.

"The Zhang family is too shameless!"

"That's right. It's obvious that he wants to embezzle Xu Xiaohua's money."

Everyone pointed at Zhang Xiu'e.

Zhang Xiu'e rushed towards Jiang Xiaohe with a stick in her hand: "Jiang Xiaohe, I'm going to fight you!"

Her reaction was somewhat unexpected, but just when she was about to touch Jiang Xiaohe, the stick was caught by someone.

The one who made this move was Zhang Daniu!

He threw the stick away.

Zhang Daniu looked at Jiang Xiaohe and asked worriedly, "Cousin, are you okay?"

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head.

Because Zhang Daniu has been working in the quarry for a long time, he is tall and strong. Even in front of a fat woman like Zhang Xiu'e, he looks stronger.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaohe was fine, Zhang Daniu turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiu'e: "You bully her like this, do you think there is no one at home?"

Zhang Xiu'e didn't dare to speak. She was very angry, but still refused to accept the defeat. However, she couldn't beat Zhang Daniu.

She turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Xiaohe stopped her.

"Now that the truth is out, do you owe Xiaohua an apology?"

Xu Xiaohua rushed over and held Jiang Xiaohe's other hand tightly, her hands trembling.

Jiang Xiaohe comforted her, "Don't be afraid."

"Why should I apologize to her? I'm her aunt. Even if she didn't steal the silver from me, she stole it from someone else! How could a little girl like her get so much silver? No matter whose silver she stole, she deserves the beating!" Zhang Xiu'e broke free from Jiang Xiaohe's hand, jumped up and said.
