The casual life of the flat space

Grandma Ma wiped her eyes with a wrinkled handkerchief, and then continued, "She used to call me 'Grandma Ma' every time she saw me, but later... Well, now that it has come to this, I don't need to hide it for her anymore. She has stolen a lot of things from my house, but I saw that they were all food, so I didn't let the children look for them or tell them.

But this child has grown crooked! I later thought that this was not a good idea, so I kindly reminded Old Lady Zhang, but Lingzi found out. Since then, my family has never been able to raise any living creatures. Everything they raise dies. I was so scared that I never dared to say anything more, after all, there are still a bunch of children at home!

The two people who just took Old Mrs. Zhang away were her two uncles. The one hiding in the back of the house was her second aunt. Her third aunt had a small face, so such a situation would not happen.

Although she wasn't starving, she didn't get much either, because her father was so violent, and there were few children in the village who played with her. But somehow, she, Chunhua, and Lai Di got together.

The young wife of the old Yang family was also kindhearted. She didn't guard against them at all. How could she let outsiders into her house? But this matter was also my fault. I didn't say anything, but I didn't dare to tell others what she was like!

You said it was just a matter of stealing some food, it's not worth it to let a child you have seen grow up die, but if we really want to punish her, right? Her crime is not punishable by death. I just said something to her grandmother, and she caused trouble for my family and we can't raise livestock and poultry. If she takes revenge later...

Miss Bai, I am old now, and I don't mind anything. But we still have seven children! The youngest is less than one year old, and I don't even have the guts to leave me alone to take care of the children!

Lingzi is probably like this. Miss Bai, I do have selfish motives, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to talk to you like this just now. I know you are a capable person, and I hope you can send this girl away. Otherwise, every day when I leave the house, I feel that someone is watching me from behind, and every time I enter the house, I feel that there is someone in my yard. This life is really miserable!"

"Grandma Ma, thank you for your introduction. I understand." Bai Tieying smiled and nodded to Grandma Ma. Two children who might be her grandchildren helped her to the back. Bai Tieying turned around and asked Lingzi, "Don't you want to talk now?"

"What's there to say? Either you produce the evidence and kill me, or I'll kill you when I have time." Lingzi lay on the ground with her eyes narrowed, but she knew that Bai Tieying's words were directed at her, so she replied to Bai Tieying in a lazy tone.

"Lingzi, what your family is like is not something you can decide or influence, but what kind of person you are is more determined by you. To be honest, I don't have any evidence now, but justice is in the hearts of the people. What your family is like is not an excuse for you to steal property and frame others."

Bai Tieying turned around and asked Aunt Yang, "Do you have a mark on your twelve cents?"

"Ah? No, no." Aunt Yang felt so aggrieved.

"Yes, mother, yes, I recognize our family's money." Jiaojiao's shout made Aunt Yang happy, and she quickly asked her what the mark was.

"Three of them are yellower, six are darker, and three are lighter."

After hearing what she said, Aunt Yang's look of surprise disappeared and she sighed helplessly.

"Jiaojiao, take a look at these copper coins to see if there are any from your family?" Bai Tieying was also "dodged" by Jiaojiao, but he could only pin his hopes on her.

"Jiaojiao knows them. Jiaojiao counts them before going to bed every day. Look, this one is it, and this one..." Jiaojiao kept picking among the two piles of money of Chunhua and Lingzi, and soon she said she had found all twelve.

Bai Tieying went forward to take a look, and it was indeed as Jiaojiao said, "a little yellower, a little darker, and a little lighter..."

Yes! Bai Tieying carefully read it again and confirmed: "Aunt Yang, Baoer's mother, is there anyone among us who can read? Please come over!" Bai Tieying found a breakthrough and became excited.

"Look, what's so special about these twelve copper coins?"

"Did not see it."

"Did not see it."

"The yellower ones are from the Shaoxi period, the darker ones are from the Jianhui period, and the lighter ones that Jiaojiao mentioned are from the Xuanhe period.

Auntie, fellow villagers, the other copper coins were not minted in these three years. Second, these twelve copper coins clearly have traces of being frequently rubbed. Third, if Jiaojiao lied, how could she accurately find these twelve copper coins among so many copper coins? How could she know that she would definitely find the ones that meet these characteristics among other people's coins?

As for why these twelve copper coins were found in the possession of these two people, I think it was probably because Lai Di was not given any money at the beginning, right?"

"You little bitch who was born by a father but not raised by one. My daughter Lai Di has to suffer like this because she was deceived by you! Oh God, please open your eyes! Why didn't you strike this son of a bitch to death when it thundered and rained!..." Lai Di's mother had been "behaving well" for a long time under the public outrage, but when she heard these words, she immediately sat on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.

Bai Tieying frowned and opened her mouth several times but felt that she couldn't shout at her, so she simply asked Mu Qingqiu to tell her to shut up. When Lai Di Niang saw Mu Qingqiu coming over, she remembered the experience of being unable to move before, and immediately covered her mouth, shaking her head and whimpering to indicate that she would not speak anymore.

Bai Tieying's ears finally quieted down, and he said, "I guess Lingzi still has nothing to say, so I'll say it for her. The money-stealing and frame-up case has now been caught red-handed, so I shouldn't get involved in your Niujiao Village's affairs. But I still want to remind everyone a few things.

Have you seen the things Lingzi brought with her? Let's put the others aside for now. This thing is indeed a mushroom, but it is not an edible mushroom. It is called 'ghost-covered eyes'. A small amount can cause a person to become unconscious, but a large amount can kill a person. I suggest that you destroy it as soon as possible. You can burn it with fire and then bury it with soil. Don't stand downwind when burning it. "

When everyone heard that it was such a dangerous thing, they all stepped back a little. Some of the quick-witted ones started to curse, with Grandma Ma cursing the loudest.

Bai Tieying raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone can rest assured, Lingzi still has some feelings for the villagers, which must be related to everyone's usual care for her. It can be said that she still has a conscience.

But whether the use of this thing is really unscrupulous or not, it can only be said to be a tit-for-tat thing! Don’t you think so, Lingzi? "

"Hmph, you're right. It's tit for tat! No conscience? He gambled away his family fortune and sold his wife and daughter. Does that mean he has a conscience? If it weren't for my grandma, I should have killed him long ago!" After hearing this, Lingzi felt like her weak spot had finally been exposed. Her eyes turned red with anger.
