Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Liu Laoer's face was red and swollen from being beaten, and he was shaking with anger, but he was held down by the two brothers of the Shen family and he couldn't resist.

What capitalist, what landlord, these labels can be put on people casually? If you are not careful, you may be criticized.

This old woman has a real mouth.

"I said it wasn't me, it wasn't me. I, Liu Laoer, am responsible for what I do. If it's something I did, I won't deny it. But if it wasn't me, I won't admit it even if you beat me to death."

When the old lady saw that this man refused to admit it, her anger suddenly came out again.

She was about to pull Liu Laoer's hair and slap him hard in the face, but was stopped by Hong Quan who came over. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. This matter hasn't been clarified yet, so don't fight for now."

It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it. If he had, as the captain, he would have naturally stood up.

The old lady also understood this logic. She was tired from beating him and had let out a lot of anger, so she withdrew her hand and pulled Hong Quan to cry with tears and snot.

"Captain, please make the decision for me and all the villagers in our brigade."

"This Liu Lao Er is truly despicable. He even dared to touch the brigade's collective property. If you don't punish him, who knows how many people will come after him and try to steal the brigade's collective property."

"This kind of evil trend must not be encouraged. Captain, you must punish this person severely."

At this time, Liu Laoer's wife ran over, crying with red eyes.

"Captain, you can't listen to the Shen family and confuse right and wrong like this."

"Last year, my husband stole the seeds from the warehouse. It was because the children were starving and on the verge of death that he did this."

"We've been given relief food, and we're incredibly grateful. How could we possibly do something like this? Captain, please investigate thoroughly. Don't let my child's father be blamed for this and be criticized."

Several people watching the fun around also started talking.

"Don't blame the Shen family for beating him. He must have done it because he has a criminal record. Why did he steal the seeds? For farmers, seeds are more important than life."

"Yes, this incident must have been done by Liu Lao Er. He has a criminal record. Who else could it be but him?"

When many people heard about the stolen seeds, they rushed to Liu Laoer's house and strongly demanded that Hong Quan punish him.

The old lady took the lead and waved her hand, "Captain, don't worry about the evidence, it must have been done by Liu Laoer."

The others raised their hands, "Yes, this must have been done by Liu Lao Er, Captain, we absolutely cannot let him go."

Hong Quan was silent.

Liu Laoer's wife's face changed drastically, but tears couldn't stop falling. She pulled Hong Quan's sleeve regardless of anything.

"Captain, you must believe us. It really wasn't us who did it."

"We are also from the Qingshan Brigade. We have been farming for most of our lives. How could we not know the importance of seeds? This must have been done by someone else. Please investigate it thoroughly and clear our name."

Liu Laoer also kept crying out for justice, "It's not me, it's really not me, please believe me."

Things suddenly reached a deadlock.

Hong Quan was at a loss and couldn't come up with an answer for a long time.

Xu Manyue stood in the crowd and watched for a long time. In fact, no one had any evidence that the seeds disappeared today, and it was Liu Laoer who did it.

She had just observed Liu Laoer and his wife for a long time and felt that it was unlikely that it was them.

She thought about it, walked to Hong Quan's side and whispered.

"Uncle Hong, there's no evidence for this. Why don't we investigate first and find out the truth as soon as possible? Then, when we have evidence, it will be easier to punish the person who stole the seeds."

Hong Quan had a terrible headache. "After the seeds disappeared today, I already investigated."

"But I didn't find any evidence. On the contrary, I personally searched for anyone who had the chance to come across the seeds, but still found nothing."

The old lady snorted coldly, "Humph, who else could it be if not him? Liu Lao Er has a criminal record."

Mrs. Shen, who was standing by, glanced at Liu Laoer's wife, who was crying pitifully. "You still have the nerve to cry? If your husband hadn't stolen the seeds from the warehouse last year, would we still have to go around looking for seeds?"

"Even if it wasn't your man who stole it this time, I can't let you off so easily."

The surrounding villagers also became excited when they heard this. "That's right, we can't let Liu Laoer go. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to search for seeds everywhere, and what happened today wouldn't have happened. It's all his fault."

Liu Laoer's wife's face turned pale instantly. She shook her head repeatedly, "No, it's not like that. My husband wasn't the only one who stole the seeds. You can't treat him like this."

"Captain, this incident really wasn't our fault. Please let us go."

Hong Quan was silent for a moment, and finally gave the result of the handling, "Everyone is right. Even if it wasn't Liu Laoer who did it this time, he was still the one who did what happened last year."

"I'll give you three days. Within three days, you must either hand over the seeds or find the person who stole the seeds."

"Otherwise, what happened last year, plus what happened today, will all be settled together. Our Qingshan Brigade can't tolerate such people. Your Liu family should find another way to make a living."

The old lady's face turned ugly.

what?

Give them three more days?

I'm afraid all the seeds will be eaten up in three days. This won't do. She had gotten those seeds from the commune with great difficulty, so how could she let others eat them all up?

She strode to Hong Quan and was about to speak when Xu Manyue grabbed her and took her to the corner.

"Mom, I don't think Liu Laoer did this. Today, our family beat someone up without any evidence, and the captain has turned a blind eye."

"Let's go back first. The captain will make his own arrangements for the seeds."

After hearing her daughter-in-law's analysis, the old lady felt that it made sense, but she still felt uncomfortable and angry. "Who else could it be if not him? It's because he has a criminal record."

Xu Manyue took her arm and soothed her softly, "Mom, no matter who stole the seeds, this is something the captain should handle."

"If we rush over and beat them up today, it won't solve the problem at all. It will only cause trouble for the captain and make things more complicated."

This is only Uncle Hong. If anyone else was the team leader, he would probably have been uncomfortable with the Shen family a long time ago.

The old lady understood this logic, but she felt very suffocated.

"Alright, alright, I won't say any more. I'll take your eldest brother and the others back right now."

Xu Manyue's heart finally relaxed a little, "Mom, let's go back now."

If it is finally discovered that the person who stole the seeds is someone else, and the Shen family beats Liu Laoer severely, if the other person holds a grudge against him, the Shen family will not end up in trouble.

The captain never bothered Liu Laoer because he had no evidence.

After the old lady figured it out, she called out to her sons and daughters-in-law, "Go back, go back! Since the captain has spoken, we won't cause him any more trouble."
