"Ah Yan, I think the beans are almost harvested, so you can take your husband to the donkey cart first, and I will talk to the other old brothers, and we will go home." It was almost noon, and Boss Zhu was worried that Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao would be hungry, so he decided to go home early. After all, the beans in this big donkey cart were enough for the Dou Shi Fang to use for a long time.

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Yan could speak, a young woman in floral dress staggered over with a large bag of soybeans. When she approached Zhu Yan and the others, she faced Zhu Yan without fear. Yan grinned and said: "It's me, Qin Xiao'e, the daughter-in-law of Changchun's family who came to sell beans just now, don't leave, I still have a big bag here!"

"Qin Xiao'e, didn't you say that your family only sells a bag of soybeans? Why are you here with such a big bag of soybeans?" Seeing Qin Xiao'e coming again, many villagers couldn't help but stop and leave, continuing to watch the excitement .

Qin Xiao'e began to falter under everyone's questioning. She couldn't help but glanced at the firewood stack at the entrance of the village, remembering the words Li Lanhua had confessed to herself before, curled her hair at the temples with her fingers, and said kindly: "I told you Don’t laugh at me, I’ve been thinking about it when I go home, thinking that our bean food shop may return to the village to collect beans at some point, so I just want to sell another bag and earn more money.”

This reason is reasonable, after all, no one would have trouble with money, Zhu Yan had no doubts after hearing this, nodded with his family, took the initiative to step forward, and said straightforwardly: "Indeed, if we collect an extra bag of good beans, we can also get more money." Make some good tofu, and there are never too many good beans, so please bring your beans up for us to see."

"Hey!" Qin Xiao'e grinned and brought the big bag of beans to Zhu Yan. When Zhu Yan was about to open the bag to check the quality of the beans inside, she interrupted Zhu Yan's action loudly, "Zhu Jia Boss, you checked the beans before and found nothing wrong with them. You can rest assured that the quality of this bag of beans is the same as the last bag of beans. You don’t need to bother to check. It’s almost noon. , why don't you just weigh the beans and give me the money so I can go home and make lunch."

Zhu Yan raised his head when he heard the sound, and carefully noticed the change in Qin Xiaoe's expression. The slightly trembling body and the increasingly unnatural smile made people untrustworthy. Zhu Yan stopped what he was doing and insisted to Qin Xiaoe: "Gu There is an old saying that brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly, we are fellow villagers in the same village, no matter how good our relationship is, we have to follow this procedure, everyone followed this procedure before you, we must not abolish the rules with you."

"I... I know, but I wish you, boss, look, I'm the only one in our village who doesn't sell beans. Why should we be so stubborn about the rules and irregularities?" Qin Xiaoe continued to smile obsequiously, while not Wang once again looked at the firewood stack at the entrance of the village, and when she saw Li Lanhua's figure, she was even more eager to continue to defend herself.

But Yuan Xiao on the other end was keenly aware of Qin Xiaoe's abnormality, and at the same time found Li Lanhua hidden behind the firewood pile, his eyes were rounded with anger, he leaned towards Zhu Yan, whispered a few words to Zhu Yan, lunch In front of everyone, she opened Qin Xiaoe's bean bag, and said with a smile: "Sister, you also said that you are wasting time like this. If you have time to talk nonsense, why don't you open the bag and check the beans, and no one's time will be wasted."

"Hey..." Qin Xiao'e originally wanted to stop Yuan Xiao, but when she saw Yuan Xiao's sharp eyes, she couldn't help being frightened and fell silent.

Yuan Xiao took out a handful of beans and showed them to Zhu Yan and Boss Zhu. The beans were plump and similar in color to the ones he had harvested before. He rolled up his sleeves, stretched his hands into the bag, and took out the beans inside. Sure enough, he found something unusual. He handed the beans he just took out to Zhu Yan, and said in surprise, "This bean is the first Why is the first layer different from the bottom one? The beans at the bottom are so shriveled that they look like old beans that have been stored for several years. How can such beans make good tofu.”

The villagers who were watching the scene were all invigorated by Yuan Xiao's words. At the same time, they also knew that the upper floor put the beans well, and the beans that were not placed inside were the behavior of swindlers. One by one, they began to accuse Qin Xiao'e.

When the scene was getting more and more lively, Zhu Yan found a flat big sack, ignored Qin Xiaoe's exclamation and stop, poured all the big bag of beans on another sack, and said solemnly: "Jinsha You folks in the village have also seen that only the top layer of beans in this big sack is good beans, and the bottom layer is all stale beans. Is this turning a corner and pitting our family?"

Boss Zhu was even more angry, kicking the beans on the ground, and then said angrily: "Actually, to tell the truth to the folks in Jinsha Village, when I was going out today, my mother stopped me, and she told me that the bean collector Time should give way to everyone and let everyone earn more money, because we are from the same village, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen to us from the same village, it really hurts feelings!"

Many of the folks who were watching the fun had just finished selling beans. After hearing what Zhu Yan and Boss Zhu said, they all lowered their heads, and some directly scolded Qin Xiao'e relentlessly.

"Qin Xiao'e, what's the matter with you, I wish the kid came to our village to collect beans nostalgic, and you just fool them with bad beans? Your conscience is eaten by dogs?"

"It's not easy for us to have a chance to make money, so you just do it, you want Lao Zhu's family to come to our village once, right? I'll ask you what's on your mind?"

"What else do you want, but to humiliate the folks in Jinsha Village, how can you deceive the fellow villagers so dishonestly? Which village doesn't make fun of us when the news spreads? She is just smearing our faces!"

Qin Xiaoe, who just married into Jinsha Village, was so frightened that her legs trembled when faced with everyone's accusations. She never thought that the people of Lao Zhu's family would be so alert, and she was so old that no one was so vigilant. She scolded her, now that something like this has happened, how can she stay in Jinsha Village from now on?

Qin Xiaoe trembled her lips, her big eyes were filled with tears, and as everyone scolded her more and more ugly, she closed her eyes and shouted: "Li Lanhua, Li Lanhua asked me to do this, she said I wish the boss I don't recognize her as a stepmother and a real father, and never respect them, they have no money, so they can only do this, and I also sympathize with her, Li Lanhua, and that's why I did this."

Zhu Yan just smiled when he heard this, and didn't even bother to explain. He said to the villagers present and Changchun and the old lady of the Chang family who came over after hearing the sound: "Everyone, listen carefully. From now on, I will always come to the village to collect beans from the Zhu family , do not accept beans from Li Lanhua and Lao Chang's family. If anyone sympathizes with Li Lanhua to help her sell beans, I will not accept beans from your family if I know that I will not accept beans from your family. You can buy good beans wherever you go.”

The old lady of the Chang family walked out of the crowd with the help of Chang Chun. She glared at her new daughter-in-law, Qin Xiao'e, then apologized to Zhu Yan and said, "Boy Zhu, this time it's my old lady who didn't discipline me well. This morning, my new daughter-in-law made such a catastrophe. She just married into our house not long ago, so she doesn't know many things yet. She just listened to Li Lanhua's nonsense. You see, because my grandma and I are sisters, don't Angry with this little bitch."

"Don't worry, Chang's grandma, I'm usually not very popular, but I still have a principle, that is, I will never take back what I said. I will come to the village to collect beans in the future, and I will never accept Li Lanhua and your family again. After all, we don't know the relationship between your daughter-in-law and Li Lanhua, and if they do something like this again in the future, I can't stand it." Zhu Yan spoke firmly and could not tolerate anyone's rejection.

Seeing that there was no room for change in the matter, the old lady of the Chang family sighed and walked in front of Qin Xiaoe, slapped her new daughter-in-law with a wave of her hand, and said through gritted teeth, "Bitch, I'm not happy when I'm married. In the blink of an eye, you defeated her completely, you don't know what she is, Li Lanhua, but you just come to talk to her and help her with things, so this is a good way to trap our family!"

Qin Xiao'e covered her face and didn't dare to reply. She looked at everyone's distasteful faces towards her, and her husband's indifferent expression not far away. She could only stand stiffly where she was. What should her husband's family think of her after causing such a big mess?At the same time, she finally understood why the whole village didn't want to see Li Lanhua. She hated Li Lanhua so much at the moment. When she realized that Li Lanhua was about to leave in the dark, she immediately yelled, " Li Lanhua, don't even think about running, you've tricked me and I still want to run now, stop!"

Li Lanhua, who was planning to leave quietly, ran even faster after hearing Qin Xiaoe's shout, but was bumped into by Ning Lizheng who had just rushed over.

Ning Li was found by other villagers, so he naturally understood the ins and outs of this matter. When he bumped into Li Lanhua, he grabbed Li Lanhua by the collar and brought her to everyone. He said to Zhu Yan: "Zhu Yan, I have heard others say what the Chang family did. They are wrong. You are right. I don't intend to speak for them. At the same time, I would like to remind the elders and folks present that many of us Beans are grown in the village, and the land is fertile, and the beans grown are better than ours. They always hope that the family will not forget their roots and not dislike our beans when they buy them in the village. In fact, they want the folks in our village to make more money. We can't be so rude."

After hearing Ning Lizheng's words, the villagers looked down on the members of Lao Chang's family even more. They all pointed at the people of Lao Chang's family and made irresponsible remarks. Zhu Yan noticed that everyone in Lao Chang's family was getting more and more ugly. Taking advantage of the victory to chase after him, he deliberately said something to anger the old Chang's family, and let the old Chang's family take care of Li Lanhua. He is a big man, so it's not easy to take Li Lanhua, but the old Chang's family is different.

Zhu Yan coughed lightly and came to the old lady of the Chang family. After saluting, she said apologetically, "The old lady of the Chang family didn't mean to embarrass your family on purpose. , please forgive me!"

Before the old lady of the Chang family could speak, Yuan Xiao rushed to say: "Ah Yan, how can I blame you for this? If you want to blame it, you have to blame that Li Lanhua. If you have nothing to do, what are you doing?"

This is all said, the old lady of the Chang family has nothing to say, she turned around and saw Li Lanhua who had been silent all this time, and said to her new daughter-in-law: "Qin Xiao'e, if you still use yourself Be a member of our old Chang family, beat Li Lanhua very much now, and I will pay for killing her!"

"Hey!" Qin Xiao'e couldn't give up such a sudden and good opportunity to make meritorious service. She stepped forward and grabbed Li Lanhua's hair and started to slap Li Lanhua wildly.

Li Lanhua wanted to sneak away when Ning Li was not paying attention to her, but Qin Xiao'e grabbed her hair and slapped her face. She shouted in panic: "Qin Xiao'e, are you crazy, you have nothing to do to hit me What are you doing?"

"Why hit you? You tricked me into selling beans for you, and let me be laughed at by everyone with you. Do you think I should hit you?" Qin Xiao'e saw that Li Lanhua was about to run, so she chased after Li Lanhua and listened in a short while. To Li Lanhua's various screams.

Now someone has taken care of Li Lanhua, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Ning Lizheng, drove the donkey cart and left the village, and returned home Zhu Yan told the old lady everything.

The old lady Zhu took a sip of hot tea, and said angrily: "I have never seen such a vicious woman, she deserves to be beaten, Ah Yan, you are right, I didn't treat people from the old Chang's family very much before. The nose is so big, it's good now, you let them sit down with Li Lanhua, it's enough for Li Lanhua to drink a pot."

"Well, don't worry, Li Lanhua and his family are always coming to plot against us." Zhu Yan was about to say a few more words to the old lady when the door of his own shop was pushed open. Seeing that it was Qi Lianhai, he stood there and asked He said, "Do you still eat bean curd today? My family has a new dish called Shuizhuqianzhang, do you want to try it?"

When Qi Lianhai heard that Zhu Yan's family had new dishes, he unconsciously pursed his lips, but because he thought of other things, he waved his hands regretfully and said, "No, I'm here on business. to do."

"Official business?" Zhu Yan realized belatedly that there was a pendant Lu Zhaofu missing beside Qi Lianhai, and seeing Qi Lianhai's tense face, he knew that this time the matter was quite serious, so he took the initiative to leave Going forward, arranged for Qi Lianhai to sit down, and asked carefully: "But what happened to our shop?"

Qi Lianhai poured himself a cup of hot tea, warmed himself up, and casually denied: "It's not about our shop, it's about something big happening in our town. Recently, a batch of banned drugs entered our town. The people who took the medicine were stupid, stupid, crazy, our adults asked me and my brothers to investigate in the town, I came here to ask you, have any suspicious people sneaked into you recently?"

Zhu Yan seriously thought about the people who came to the shop recently, shook his head decisively and said: "There is not any familiar face, they are all old diners who know everything in our town."

"That's it. Our family must be careful recently, and we must notify me as soon as we meet such a person. We don't know how they secretly carry banned drugs, so we can only rely on everyone to pay more attention." Qi Lianhai's face was extremely serious. .

Zhu Yan also became serious, and he responded again and again: "Don't worry about it, it's a matter of human life, I will definitely help you watch over it!"

After seeing off Qi Lianhai, Zhu Yan began to remind his family that he must be more careful recently and keep an eye on the diners in the shop, but he did not expect that his uncle would be arrested by the government the next day.
