Because Xia Qingming walked fast, they arrived soon, but there was no smell of food that they dreamed of, but a few people from the neighbors were standing at the door of his house, not knowing what to say

"What's the matter?" Luo Xiaohan shuddered, put down the rope in his hand and ran over, first grabbed someone he knew, "What's wrong with my house?"

"It's Qingming's betrothal, what kind of gift money do you want when you come to the door?" The neighbor dragged him and asked, "Where is Qingming, let him come over and explain clearly."

"Oh, he's at the back, I'll go in first, don't scare Xiaoman and Xiaoxue." After hearing this, Luo Xiaohan hurried into the door. In addition to Xia Qingming's father and stepmother, there is also the so-called sister who is engaged to Xia Qingming Your parents.

Xiaoman was talking about something, his face flushed, Xiaoxue stood in the corner with a frightened look on his face.The cabinets and boxes in the house looked like they had been rummaged through. Fortunately, Xia Qingming's house money would never be placed in such boxes that can be seen everywhere, but some broken silver and copper plates would be placed instead.

Luo Xiaohan was furious in his heart, and he said loudly, "Why did you break in and bully my younger brother and sister without the owner's consent, and even stole our belongings, do you want us to report to the police?"

The people in the room were frightened at first, and after a while Tian Yujiao said, "Xia Qingming owes us money, we are entitled to ask him for it, besides, his father is here, why can't we go through your things?"

"I owe money, may I ask for your IOUs? Let me have a look. Besides, Qingming's household registration is issued separately. From an official point of view, it is a divided family. What qualifications do you have to rummage through my family's things?"

Before the other party could speak, Luo Xiaohan went on to say, "Xiaoman, go to the village chief, let's see if this matter should be settled in the clan or reported to the officials! Xiaoxue, they just took how much money and things from the family, tell me, I will See if it's enough to sentence them to a few years"

Xiaoman has long been intimidated by his father's filial piety, now that Luo Xiaohan has finally gained confidence, after hearing his words, he turns around and goes out to find the village chief. After talking about the matter, Xia Qingming nodded, "Go to the village chief."

"Brother, brother-in-law is really amazing." Xiao Man turned around and whispered Xia Qingming smiled, "I heard that, and I also think he is amazing."

Xia Qingming walked into the room, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, "Xiaoxue, what did they take from the house?" Xia Qingming asked in a deep voice

Xiaoxue leaned out half of her body from behind Luo Xiaohan and said in a trembling voice: "They took the book that the second brother just bought, and also robbed the jewelry that the eldest brother bought for me, and found a few taels of silver in your house."

"Take it all out," Xia Qingming said

The people who came were the son and daughter-in-law of Uncle Tian Yujiao's family and their daughter.Originally, Xia Qingming should have called his uncle, "I don't know about the engagement, and I didn't spend any of the dowry money, and I can't be found for the money."

"That was a marriage arranged by your parents, so it has nothing to do with you." The father of the sister over there said that filial piety in this era is really oppressive. I can't really say it has nothing to do with me.

"If that's the case, then report to the official." Luo Xiaohan said softly, "It's a fact that you came to my house uninvited to rob things, and Qingming and I have registered in the imperial city, and the adults in the household department have told me, If you are bullied, you can seek asylum from the local government

After all, he sat on the chair and poured a glass of water for Xia Qingming from the pot, "Qingming, let's drink some hot water first, and I'll let Brother Zhuzi or Brother Huzi drive the mule cart to the town later."

Xia Qingming also sat down and stretched her slender body, "When the village chief comes, I will find someone to go."

Rural people are afraid that the government will be involved, and when they think about Luo Xiaohan's adult support, they immediately faint.

The village head was quickly invited by Xiaoman, and at the same time, some people who watched the fun came along, "Xia Qi, what's the matter with your family?" He was used to listening to Tian Yujiao, so he subconsciously looked at his wife after hearing this.

Seeing that Tian Yujiao wanted to speak, Luo Xiaohan immediately stood up and said loudly, "Uncle Village Chief, this matter involves some financial issues. I still want to report to the official to solve it. You should decide whether it is right or not."

Although what I said meant disrespecting the village chief, Luo Xiaohan, a modern person, didn't care much about this kind of class in the countryside, and felt that he should find the official to come, after all, it involved burglary.

"Qingming, what do you think about this matter?" The village head really darkened, and turned to ask Xia Qingming, "I listen to Fulang, of course, if they put down their things right now and get out of my house, I'm fine." Consider other solutions." Xia Qingming has been away from home for many years, and he is a little bit out of touch with the class system in the village, but he knows that the village chief is a good person, and he plans to take Xiaohan to the village chief's house to plead guilty, but it is still It's better to scare these people away first

"Father, did I ask the other day where the money went, and did I know why our family didn't spend a copper coin on the money? Why did the money come to me today and brought people to my house to make trouble about my new purchase? I am preparing to build a house in the spring. I spent half of my savings for several years and the ten taels of silver I received from the army to go back to my hometown. I also sent some back to my family during the few years. After I came back, I spent some more on food and rent. You Do you want your son to keep renting a house, or do you want your son to take your husband to live under the eaves of others and beg? Since you are so inconsiderate of your son, to put it bluntly, your son’s filial piety does not want to be paid in vain. Whether you write or not , it doesn't matter anymore."

Author gossip:

Why does the space seem useless now? Because it is winter, and there is no vegetable plot at home, so I rashly took out a lot of vegetables, and there are many vegetables and fruits that I have never seen or bought. Doubtful, so it will be of great use when the spring flowers bloom

The temperature setting here is a bit colder than the modern south, because I remember that the winter was very cold when I was a child, so the winter in the ancient south is colder than the modern one
