"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Mu girl, you said that the gold coin is your mother's dowry. Why are you willing to lend it to Ike's family?"
"If my sister says so, then so be it," Mu Linlong tried to explain, but Uncle Ben interrupted him.
"Wait, don't rush to explain. Locke's family, you said that the gold coin was stolen. How much was stolen? Do you have any evidence? "
Uncle Ben interrupted Mu Linlong and turned to look at Locke's family. His tone was calm, and it was hard to tell who he believed.
"In any case, those gold coins were stolen from my house. Otherwise, why would they have the gold coins when my house was robbed? A few days ago, I heard that this bitch almost starved to death. If she had the gold coins, why would she starve?" Allie argued with a shrewish look on her face.
Villager A: That Allie is really shameless. Her child lent the gold coin to Ike's family, and now she wants to take it for herself.
Yes, Lyme's wife is really greedy. That's the gold coin that people would rather starve than spend. She's really vicious. – Villager B.
…
The villagers whispered to each other, but the yard was not big, and everyone could hear them no matter how quiet they were. Even the village chief knew this Locke? But if the Mu family doesn't explain the source of this gold coin, no one can prove it. This shrew Elly will not give up. At this time, the messenger is still here. What kind of trouble is this? It's really annoying.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
"Messenger, please sit down and wait for a moment. I'll help you pick out the students." Ben stared at Locke's family and the villagers who were still talking.
"No, we'll just sit here. Village chief, you can handle it first!" Jerry smiled. Mike glanced at Mu Linlong who was behind Mu Liner, and then looked at Jerry. Then, Jerry turned around and sat on the stool. The two of them picked up their teacups and drank elegantly, waiting to watch the show.
Jerry was very curious about how the fat girl, who hadn't explained herself for a long time, was going to get away.
Ben looked helpless. He smiled at Mike and Jerry, but when he turned around to look at Mu Liner, Mu Liner and Locke's family, his face was very ugly.
He had been the village chief for many years, but he had never seen such a situation in the exam. He knew who was right and who was wrong, but he couldn't judge without evidence.
"Village Chief, you don't have to worry about us. You can judge however you want!" Mike, who put down the teacup, suddenly said.
When Ben heard this, the village head understood what he was trying to say. "We can tell right from wrong. You have to do what you want."
However, when Mu Lin 'er heard Mike's words, she was very happy. It seemed that this messenger was a good person. With his words, the village head wouldn't dare to bully her and her brother for being poor.
"Show me your evidence!" Ben was ready to go all out. He had to see the evidence first.
"Chief, our servant Kerding can testify that our house was robbed." Allie hurriedly answered.
Mu Linlong panicked. He wasn't sure if the gold coins in his sister's hands were really his mother's dowry. Their mother passed away when they were ten years old.
"Sister." Mu Linlong went up and took Mu Lin 'er's hand, her voice was very soft.
Mu Lin 'er could feel her brother's suspicion and worry. Mu Lin' er gave him a comforting look, telling him that it was okay.
Seeing Mu Lin 'er's bright eyes, he felt relieved. He should trust her.
"Mu girl, aren't you going to explain?" The village head Ben looked at the two siblings.
He remembered that the two siblings had moved to the village for more than three years, but he rarely paid attention to them since they had been expelled from a big family. A man in black once told him not to help the two siblings, even if they starved to death or begged.
At first, his wife told him that the two children were beaten by a beggar today, that the fat girl was starving and cried today, and that the servant of the Mu family quietly left today.
At that time, he asked, "The Mu family?"
His wife told him, "Isn't the Mu family the two siblings who were abandoned? The older brother is very thin, and the younger sister is fat. Are you confused? "
"How can I explain? They all said that they have evidence. "Mu Lin 'er looked calm, but she was anxiously trying to think of a solution. She used to love studying herbs and medicine, and rarely did she care about these things.
Mike and Jerry were stunned when they heard this. Even the village head, Ben, was stunned. What was she thinking?
The people around her couldn't help but gasp when they heard her answer. Was she crazy? Did she just admit it?
The villagers thought that Mu Lin 'er was afraid, so she was talking nonsense to avoid a serious punishment. The kind-hearted villagers sighed. This girl was going to fall into the hands of the Locke family again.
"See, the bitch has admitted it. Village head, hurry up and sentence her! These gold coins belong to our family! " Ellie was so excited that she danced with joy. She reached out to Mu Lin 'er, trying to take the gold coins that she was holding tightly in her other hand.
"What are you doing? Sister didn't steal the gold coins. Go away." Mu Linlong had been looking at Mu Lin 'er. He was the first to see Ellie trying to grab the gold coins. He was originally standing behind Mu Lin 'er, but he hurriedly held Mu Lin' er in his arms and blocked Ellie's hand.
Mu Lin 'er was about to say something, but she didn't expect Ellie to suddenly rush over. Fortunately, her brother pulled her away. Otherwise, she would be at a disadvantage. "Auntie, please wait. I haven't finished yet."
"Hmph, I took my family's gold coins. What else do you have to say? If you're wrong, then forget about it! The crime of theft is very serious. If you and your sister can work in our field for free for the rest of your life, maybe we will forgive you. Hmph, hand over the gold coins! "Ellie was very unhappy that she didn't get the gold coins. She glared at Mu Lin 'er fiercely.
If what Mu Lin 'er said before was shocking enough, what Ellie said now was enough to shock a group of people.
The village head, Ben, was furious. This Ellie of Locke's family was really a piece of work! She thought that he, the village head, was dead. She even thought of her own crime and punishment.
He broke out in a cold sweat and said fiercely, "Locke? Lymph, I'm old, but I don't remember recommending anyone from the Locke family to be the next village chief! "Seriously, did he think that the village chief was a sick cat?
