Peasant Woman is in Her Prime

C69

It looked somewhat similar to Liu Yuyan.

The moment the woman saw Gui Zhi, she pointed at him and shouted, "I've finally found you. Where did you hide my hairpin?"

Huang Guizhi was baffled, she raised her head and asked: "What hairpin?"

"You still want to play dumb?" The lady was bold and energetic, even more so than Liu Yuyan, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"I've never seen you either. Don't spout nonsense here." Huang Guizhi understood in her heart that this man was here to cause trouble, so she ignored him and continued to immerse herself in washing the clothes.

She still had to quickly finish washing her clothes and go home. If Lou Lan returned and found that she was carrying clothes to wash in this stream, she would probably be unhappy.

Huang Guizhi had just been beaten up by Jin Dacheng and her body had not recovered yet. The doctor had told her not to go out and catch cold, so how could Jin Xiaolou bear to let her go out and wash her clothes.

Just as she was thinking, a shadow flashed in front of her. The woman raised her leg and kicked the clothes basket by Gui Qi's side into the stream.

The bamboo basket was washed away by the stream, and instead, all of the clothes in the basket were spilled out and floated downstream.

"What are you doing?" Huang Guizhi anxiously arrived.

"You're still not admitting to it?" "Just now when I was washing my hair in the courtyard, the hairpin was placed on a stool. When you passed it by with the cloth basket, the hairpin disappeared. If you didn't steal it, who else could it be?"

"Since your hairpin has disappeared, you came to accuse me. I definitely wouldn't take it away from you. I said that I've never seen it before, so I haven't seen it before." Huang Guizhi vaguely remembered that when they left the house, there was a person who was washing her hair, but with her head lowered, she did not look carefully, and did not know who it was.

It was even more impossible for him to take someone else's hairpin.

Seeing the clothes that flowed with the water, Gui Qi didn't even bother taking off his shoes and socks. He immediately jumped into the water and chased after them to pick them up.

The stream ran up to his knees, chilled to the bone, and Cinnamon shivered.

After running two steps, the water flowed even faster. Seeing that the bamboo basket and clothes couldn't be retrieved, Gui Zhi sighed and was about to return to the shore when the mossy pebbles under his feet slipped and he fell onto the ground.

He was even carrying the Lin'er on his back.

Gui Qi subconsciously moved to pull the baby from her back to her chest. The moment she fell into the water, she raised both of her hands high up in the air and held Lin'er in the air.

The frightened cries of a baby instantly rang out.

Gui Zhi almost fell into the ice-cold water. The wound on his back that was just about to scab out completely split open from the impact of the stone ...

By the time she struggled out of the stream, the two men were long gone.

Jin Xiaolou stopped and took off the clothes on Gui Qi. Behind the clothes, which were drenched in blood, there were indeed traces of blood.

"Why are you so stupid!" Jin Xiaolou's nose soured as she reached out to hug Gui Zhi. Her head rested on Gui Zhi's shoulder, and his tears fell from the corner of his eyes onto Gui Zhi's wet clothes.

Gui Qi only felt a warmth on his shoulder. "Lou, it's my fault. His clothes were also lost, and Lin'er was almost injured. I promise I won't do it again. "

Jin Xiaolou held onto Gui Qi and walked forward, "Who exactly is that person?"

Liu Yuyan was not Zhou Qing Xia, and would never intentionally look for trouble with Gui Qi, just to make them fall into the water, I am afraid they will not let this matter rest so easily.

Gui Qi shook his head. "I've never seen them before. They shouldn't be from our village."

"Maybe he's from Xiuyun Village."

Behind him, Zhou Shuli spoke out.

"Xiuyun Village?" Jin Xiaolou turned her head and asked.

"This morning, we received over a dozen villagers from Xiuyun Village to settle down in our village." Zhou Shuli followed closely and walked next to Jin Xiaolou, continuing, "There's a plague in Xiuyun Village, and I heard that a lot of people died. Xiuyun Village is currently separating the villagers that weren't sick from one another, and placing them in a neighboring village to hide for a period of time."

"So that's how it is." Jin Xiaolou nodded, she vaguely remembered that when Liu Yuyan and Madame Wu were chatting, Liu Yuyan mentioned that she had a younger sister called Liu Jiedi.

He was three years younger than Liu Yuyan and had also married three years later.

At that time, it was the village of Xiuyun.

I'm afraid, that woman is Liu Yuyan's younger sister, Liu Jiedi.

"Lou, you're finally back. Something happened in your family!"

Jin Xiaolou looked up and saw Madame Ye carrying a basket and a piece of meat hurriedly walking towards him.

Madame Ye rushed over from the direction of the Jin Family, and panted heavily: "Quickly go back and take a look, your uncles have turned your entire house upside down, they say they want to find some filth!"

Madame Ye paused for a moment, took in a few deep breaths, and said hurriedly: "I was just about to send you some cured meat, but I bumped into them at the entrance. It's just that I'm still in there, so I can't stop them."

Jin Xiaolou's heart tensed up, she knew that something was wrong and quickly ran back home.

In the courtyard, Madame Wu was leaning on a walking stick as she sat in the middle of the courtyard, speaking straightforwardly: "Our Jin Family has produced such a shameful thing, it is truly embarrassing. Please make the decision, we will give our younger brother an explanation according to the law!"

Seeing that Jin Xiaolou had returned, the Madame Wu snorted: "You came back at the right time.

Jin Xiaolou ignored the Madame Wu and headed straight for the thatched hut. The lock on the door was broken and scattered on the ground and the door was opened.

The room was a mess, even Jin Xiaolou's and Gao Lang's beds were overturned on the floor.

The stove in the backyard was also smashed, and the black ashes were everywhere.

Pots and pans were scattered all over the floor, and potato and radish were all over the floor.

Jin Xiaolou did not have time to care about all these, she quickly walked over to the bed and picked up the pillow that had mud footprints on it.

Jin Xiaolou had placed her land deed, the agreement with Jin Family, and the marriage contract signed by Jin Dacheng here.

With a shake of his hand, he pulled out two thin sheets of paper. The land deed and the agreement were both there.

Jin Xiaolou sneered.

She knew that Liu Yuyan was not that simple, she knew that the reason she made a ruckus in front of Gui Qi was because of her marriage contract!

Jin Xiaolou blamed her carelessness, and blamed herself for being too simple. She never thought that her Jin Family would actually be so shameless!

Keeping the two contracts in his embrace, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Everyone outside looked at Jin Xiaolou.

Just as he was frowning, something happened in the Jin Family every two or three days, which annoyed him.

"Jin Xiaolou, do you admit that you instigated the woman to leave home and also covered up for her stealing?"

She shouted right at Jin Xiaolou.

Jin Xiaolou stood straight: "Firstly, Huang Guizhi isn't leaving home, she has already signed the marriage contract, and Gui Zhi is currently completely unrelated to their Jin Family. Secondly, Huang Guizhi did not steal it, so there is no way to protect him. "

"Wife letter?" Li Zheng turned and looked at the people with Jin Family to verify their authenticity.

Zhou Qing Xia immediately said: "Master Li Zheng, my family has already become so sad that they even wiped their neck after running away, how can we sign any marriage contract? This Jin Xiaolou girl, her mouth is full of lies, you tell her to take it out and see, where can we find a letter to release her!"

Hearing Zhou Qing Xia's shrill voice, Li Zheng felt a headache, and quickly said to Jin Xiaolou: "Can you take out a letter to release your wife?"

Jin Xiaolou shook her head, and the crowd burst into laughter.

Everyone felt that this Jin Xiaolou had lied to them all.

"Originally, there was. However, Sir Li Zheng, you did not do anything and allowed outsiders to rob my house. I lost a lot of things, including the marriage contract."

"You!" Li Zheng's face turned green and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Jin Xiaolou's gaze was sharp, and she said: "Master Li Zheng, think about it, Liu Jiedi claimed that Gui Zhi stole the hairpin when she was washing clothes, and they met Gui Zhi at the stream, and returned before Gui Zhi. How could Gui Zhi possibly have the chance to hide the hairpin in their house?"

Besides, if Liuji saw Guizhi steal her hairpin with his own eyes, why didn't he grab her on the spot, even if he didn't catch her on the spot, and search her by the stream for Guizhi?" Those who wanted to barge into my house could tell at a glance that this was because there was something they wanted in my house! They're just making up an excuse!

"Master Li Zheng, my house is in ruins, what else do you think the Jin Family wants to take away from me?"

Liu Jiedi immediately replied: "Sir Li Zheng, I just lost my head. That hairpin was a gift my husband gave me when he was getting married. I haven't seen it for a while, I'm so anxious, my hands and feet were just messed up."

Liu Yuyan quickly said: "Master Li Zheng, don't listen to Jin Xiaolou's nonsense. You have to help my sister and get back her hairpin and punish those two."

"Jin Xiaolou, all of this is just what you said. Do you have any evidence to prove that Jin Family stole the marriage letter?" Li Zheng questioned.

"Then does Jin Family have any evidence to prove that Huang Guizhi stole Liu Jiedi's hairpin?" Jin Xiaolou asked.

Once the words left her mouth, Jin Xiaolou felt that something was wrong.

Since Jin Family wanted to wrongly accuse Huang Guizhi of not doing something better, and of faking the hairpin by taking it out of her own room, wouldn't that mean that she could kill two birds with one stone?

No, Jin Xiaolou paused, they did not want to condemn Huang Guizhi, so they wanted to retort, but they had no evidence, so they could not explain it clearly.

However, their true purpose was to give away their wives.

Just him!

Because there was no letter of release for his wife, he could punish the sin of abetting a woman.

They would not let Huang Guizhi be taken away, because they wanted him to be their wife, and they, they themselves, were the thorn in their side that could not wait to be killed!

Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath.

She must have known that she must have been the first to get Guizhi off the hook. She must have panicked.

"Three hundred taels!" Jin Xiaolou raised her head, and looked towards Li Zheng, "Signing the marriage contract and not finding Master Li Zheng as a witness was my biggest mistake. I don't have evidence to prove that Jin Family stole my letter of release, but I have evidence to prove that Jin Dacheng signed it! "
