A Cannon Fodder Female Partner To Raise a Cub In The Era Novel

Chapter 545 Rumors

What a pity for the stolen wheat.

　　If it gets wet from the rain, if it is not dried in time, it may sprout and become moldy, and then it will be really ruined.

 Whoever has wasted so much food for his own selfishness must be severely punished.

“Tell me, how did you discover these wheat?”

Li Jing and many people had already gathered at the entrance of the brigade. She looked at the cart of wet wheat, then at Maodou's family, and shook her head slightly.

 It’s not them.

Li Jing thought to herself and turned to Jiang Xiaoxin, who was also wet from the rain.

Er Zaizai was immersed in the nervousness that his rabbit might be lost, and did not notice her coming.

 Jiang Qingzhi asked Jiang Xiaoxin. Just raise your hands high.

 “Captain, I say!”

Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Then you say it first!"

Jiang Xiaoxin cleared his voice and reported to Jiang Qingzhi, trying to explain everything clearly.

“Li Xiaopang and I thought that there was no one in our house, and we thought that thieves might put things there, so we went to take a look together, but we didn’t expect that the wheat was really there.”

Let’s exonerate ourselves first, and then talk about other things.

"At that time, when the two of us went there, we heard a noise in their house. When we listened carefully, we found that it was said in the yard of our house."

“What to say specifically, it was raining, and their voices were too low to hear clearly, but at first it was Maodou and his two younger sisters who were talking, and then they called their parents.”

Jiang Xiaoxin did not add any fuel or jealousy. He hesitated and said the words to excuse them.

“When Maodou’s parents came out, I heard Maodou say that they found Che and Mai in our place and asked them to come and take a look! But...”

"It can't be denied. Did they know someone was coming? They said this to confuse me!" Maodou heard Jiang Xiaoxin speak for them and felt a little ashamed thinking about the quarrel with him just now. Unexpectedly, he changed his mind and wronged them again. His face darkened.

Following Jiang Xiaoxin’s words, they also began to spread rumors about him.

"Why didn't you tell me that you came here secretly, maybe to share the spoils? When you heard our voice, you knew that the matter was exposed, and you deliberately framed us!"

 The quarrel between the two brought the topic back to its original point.

Jiang Qingzhi interrupted the conversation between the two children at the right time and asked Jiang Xiaoxin, "Is your door unlocked?"

"locked!"

Jiang Xiaoxin answered without hesitation, "But the key was buried under the bricks at the door and I didn't take it away."

This is also a common method used by people in the village to hide things. It is too easy to lose the key in the pocket. When going out, the key is usually hidden in front of the door and behind the door.

Either hide it with a brick, a rag, or a pair of broken shoes in front of the door, or you can hide it on the eaves of the door, or hang it with a rope behind the door, and you can reach it out and open the door yourself when you come back.

 Some people who have a good relationship or are close friends will not avoid it even if they get the key.

 It is unknown whether the Maodou family knew that the key to Jiang Xiaoxin’s house was hidden under the bricks.

 Jiang Qingzhi turned his eyes to Maodou Daddy. He hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.

“Our edamame has seen their old woman taking the keys under the bricks before. The kid didn’t hold back and said it inside the house, but I can swear that our family has never entered their house!”

 Jiang Xiaoxin's cheeks bulged.

I wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but others don’t know whether their family members have ever entered their house, so I swear it doesn’t matter!

However, after hearing Maodou's father admit that he knew the key to their house, and the fact that the family had never been afraid of being caught for stealing wheat, Jiang Xiaoxin knew that the matter of stealing wheat might really have nothing to do with them, so he did not throw cold water on it.
