After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs
Chapter 52 Caught in the act
Zhao Huanxi didn't sleep much last night. She felt that Old Lady Tian came as soon as she got into bed.
Fortunately, Mrs. Tian came early, otherwise I would have overslept.
The ritual began at 9:00 AM (11:00 AM). Zhao Huanxi prepared a pig's head and various fruits and snacks to offer to the gods and heaven. He also bought paper money, incense, and candles. Zhao Huanxi also wanted to buy firecrackers, but learned that these were only affordable for the wealthy. So he went home and cut some bamboo to burn in the fire for good luck.
Zhao Huanxi's house was actually rare in the village, but she thought of the new house as a lively place, and a good start for her own ancient home. After all, it was something she had been pursuing in her previous life, so there was nothing wrong with paying more attention to it.
Xu Qingzhao followed the village chief and his wife to Zhao Huanxi's house early to help. The village chief and his wife got along very well with Zhao Huanxi because of the life-saving grace Zhao Huanxi had given Xu Qingzhao, so they came early.
They knew that Xu Qingzhao was a woman, so they subconsciously felt that there was nothing wrong with getting along with Zhao Huanxi.
"Miss Zhao, congratulations. Is there anything I can help you with?" Xu Qingzhao went up to greet her.
She had been a little disappointed when Sun A'niang brought her the hairpin yesterday, but when she heard Huanxi ask her to come over and help and bring her some food, her mood brightened up. She cleaned herself up early and waited for Sun A'niang and Uncle Mao to come.
Zhao Huanxi looked up at Xu Qingzhao and thought to himself that this man must be 1.7 meters tall, almost 1.8 meters tall... If he eats well, it's not impossible for him to grow another two centimeters. He must be so awesome that he could drag such a big man back.
"Brother Xu, how's your leg injury? You should sit down and rest. I invited you to come and sit down today!"
She didn't dare let the patient work. It would take a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so she decided to let him have a good rest.
Since the dishes in the kitchen were almost ready yesterday, today we just need to fry some fresh dishes, so we can just leave them to Mrs. Tian.
"I must give my mother and second sister-in-law a big red envelope when the time comes." I thought so.
Zhao Huanxi looked up at the time and estimated that it was around eight o'clock, and there was still an hour before the sacrifice.
There were quite a lot of guests today, probably enough to seat about ten tables. There were several borrowed new pots in the backyard, and they were enough to steam the noodles from yesterday. Zhao Huanxi felt a little relieved when he saw all this.
Damn, I didn't want to invite that many people! I just planned to invite some neighbors and elders, so that they would know that I am a family and can establish a foothold.
She didn't know that a few days ago, the village chief held a meeting, and she and the village chief selected several men and women to repair the houses. Those who were not selected were itching to help, so they came up to see if they could get more people to join them.
At this moment, Zhao Huanxi saw a man who annoyed her sneaking into her master bedroom. She had known that there would be many people around today, so she had locked up and hidden all her valuables so that no one could find them. She was on guard against those who wanted to take advantage of the situation and steal.
Zhao Huanxi did not alarm the snake, but quickly returned to the kitchen and casually said to the women working:
"Mom, is there a custom in our village where the host family holds a banquet and the Hakka people enter the bedroom?"
"Little sister, where did you hear that? I don't think there is such a thing in our village?" Liu looked puzzled.
It was the older ones who reacted and pulled Huanxi aside and asked:
"Did you see anyone come into your bedroom?"
Zhao Huanxi said innocently, "I saw it. I saw Aunt Zhang come into my room."
"Huanxi, you have to hurry over. Zhang Yanzi is a ruthless person and will empty your house soon."
"Yes, go quickly."
Old Lady Tian saw Huanxi winking at her and knew that this girl was about to do something. So she said to the others:
"Sister Sun, let's go take a look." The eldest Sun understood and immediately pulled several women over. The rest of the onlookers had left and wanted to go over to see the fun.
At this time, Zhang Yanzi went into the bedroom and began to search, cursing as she searched.
"This bitch actually wants to build a new house? He wants to be nice to the villagers. Humph, I want to see how much money you have."
After searching the wooden bed but finding nothing, he searched the dressing table and found some cakes he had bought. He also found cotton cloth that Zhao Huanxi had bought from the town and a few small silver bracelets for the children in a wooden box.
She didn't even know the bracelet was in the wooden box. She thought the three little girls were wearing it, but the girls were reluctant to wear it and hid it in the wooden box without telling their mother. It was found by Mrs. Zhang.
"This bracelet is beautiful, but a little small... Take it back and sell it to buy one for Tiezhu..." If you didn't know, you would think she was taking her own things. She acted as if it was her right, without any guilt at all.
When several women opened the door, they saw Mrs. Zhang with her arms full of things and a small silver bracelet in her hand, trying it on to see if it was large enough.
Zhao Huanxi was so angry that she laughed. Doesn't this person have any brains? There are so many people in her own home, and she carries so many things on her body. Is she afraid that no one will know she stole things?
Seeing a group of people outside, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly wanted to drop the things in her arms. But before she could do anything, the woman in the lead shouted:
"Someone come! Catch the thief! Mrs. Zhang stole things from the Zhao family!"
The explosion caused a huge uproar, and the men outside also gathered around to see what was going on.
Mrs. Zhang was in a state of confusion. Didn't she ask Lanhua to guard outside? This bitch actually didn't listen to her.
"I didn't! It was my Lanhua who asked me to come in and see if the iron pillar had entered the house."
There was laughter from the crowd.
"Your iron pillar is hidden in the box where Miss Zhao keeps her money. Aunt Zhang, you're really good at finding it. Why don't you take your precious iron pillar to the capital and hide it there? You can also check the emperor's throne to see if your name is on it!"
“Haha ...
Zhao Huanxi just wanted to give her time to take it, for fear that she would not steal it and he would not be able to do anything to her. He did not expect that the old woman was so greedy and stuffed his pockets full.
Now that the perpetrator was caught red-handed, it was impossible for Mrs. Zhang to deny it. She could only look at Zhao Huanxi with resentment, pointing at her and shouting:
"Who knows what you did in town, bitch! You were able to save money to renovate the house in such a short time. Did you do it with that wild man..."
"Ouch!"
Zhao Huanxi had really had enough of this old woman's nonsense and was about to go up and slap her twice when a figure came up and kicked her. The kick sent Old Woman Zhang flying a meter or two away, shocking Zhao Huanxi.
Looking back, Xu Qingzhao was holding his good leg, with a dark fire flashing in his eyes.
She just didn't want to see anyone slandering Huanxi, so she kicked him without thinking. Fortunately, her right leg was her preferred leg, otherwise the injury she had been nursing for so long would have been in vain.
Seeing Zhao Huanxi looking at him, he muttered awkwardly: "The village chief is here, don't be afraid."
The village chief came in at this time and said coldly to Mrs. Zhang who was lying on the ground:
"Today is a good day for Huanxi's family. I didn't expect you to be so bold. Two people, tie her up for me! Throw her out of the yard and wait for his Liu Dashan to come and get her!"
Two strong women volunteered to shake off the things on her body and return them to her, then tied up Mrs. Zhang tightly with a thick hemp rope.
At this time, some women were whispering about Xu Qingzhao's recent actions, thinking that the relationship between the two must be complicated. Many more were pointing and criticizing Mrs. Zhang, but unfortunately, Mrs. Zhang had something stuffed in her mouth and couldn't say anything back.
Fortunately, this episode passed quickly. The auspicious time was about to arrive, and everyone went to the wasteland to watch the excitement. Only Old Mrs. Tian did not go. She stayed at Zhao Huanxi's house to watch the yard, fearing that someone would try to steal something like Mrs. Zhang did.
