Unexpectedly, Li Laoer was related to Xu Laifu's family, and it turned out to be his uncle, who was from Haiqing Village.
A few days ago, the father and son from Haiqing Village brought their villagers to the door to make trouble. Li Laoer and the others came a step too late because they came back late from the sea. Fortunately, they avoided a beating and only trembled in fear from a distance.
watching.
He also recognized Ye Yaodong and his son, they were the ones who caused his tuna to fall into the sea, and he was still worried about the stone they fished out.
It was fine when I didn't meet him. I didn't know which village he was from. But now that I have met him, things that I had forgotten about came to mind again.
He didn't want to go up and get beaten, so he went directly to Xu's house, and asked Xu Laifu about Ye Yaodong's family, and instructing him to go to Ye Yaodong's house to steal the stone.
This grandson's nephew is always sneaking around, so it would be best to give him a dollar and ask him to go.
I just waited for two or three days, but there was still no news. Recently, I was busy catching squid at sea, and Li Laoer didn't have time to come to the village.
But when he went back in the evening, he heard from the villagers that there was a young man in Baisha Village who picked up ambergris on the beach. It was so big and worth a lot of money that he could buy a three-turn, one-ring TV. He heard that he was planning to move to the city.
Lived in.
Li Laoer's pupils suddenly tightened and he patted his thigh. Feeling very regretful, he asked why he always felt something was wrong with that stone? Is it the legendary ambergris?
He was so anxious that he couldn't even take a shower or eat, nor could he care that it was getting dark. He quickly called his four sons to his mother-in-law and hurried to Baisha Village.
I don’t know who this young boy is? Did Xu Laifu get it?
But just in Baisha Village, he heard a different version. It turned out that the ambergris was fake???
He was suddenly confused again. Why was it sometimes true and sometimes false? Didn't they all say they were going to move into the city and buy appliances?
Along the way, I could hear all kinds of voices mocking the Xu family.
"It's really funny. Yesterday, I was so awesome and said that it would be discredited by everyone. We can't even afford to pay for it if we sell it."
"Yes, I couldn't even take a look at it. I still hid it. But this morning someone came to the door and asked if they were going to sell it. Their family's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot."
"Then the kid came out and said it was wood~hahahaha~This is the funniest thing I have encountered this year, a piece of broken wood was taken as ambergris~hahaha~"
"A broken piece of wood, even before the whole family understands it, it is already regarded as a treasure before they even see it, and they start to tremble."
"Haha, who spread the news about ambergris?"
"I heard it was the shop owner. He was sitting at the door, eating melon seeds, and came shouting. Then everyone said that the kid from Laifu picked up a piece of ambergris and went home."
"Hahaha~ I was tricked by Lao Wang~"
"Perhaps they deliberately said it was wood just to deceive everyone? I'm not afraid of thieves stealing it, but I'm afraid thieves will miss it. This is a treasure!"
"It's possible. I heard that someone broke into their door last night. Even the door lock was broken, and everything in the main room was messed up. Fortunately, they heard the noise and got up and scared the people away."
"Oh, it's not easy to make a fortune like this, isn't it?"
"Who says it's not?"
"I don't know if the ambergris is real or fake."
"With their virtues, they can't cover it up. They will definitely make a fuss after selling it for a lot of money, right?"
"You know, the whole family is full of ghosts!"
"Yesterday, who was still praising Xu Laifu as a lucky person? He was born with wealth, and he will definitely have a great future... Oh my god, you laughed to death..."
…
All kinds of rumors came to the ears of Li Laoer and his family when they entered the village.
Because ambergris is indeed rare, the whole village's eyes are fixed on Xu Laifu's family. Today, their family is the center of conversation in the village. They are not tired of talking from morning to night. It is estimated that they can continue to talk for many days, unless there is something new.
Come out and replace.
Li Laoer and his family all looked at each other, unable to distinguish the truth from the lies.
"Let's go and visit Xu's house first."
As I walked along, I heard a lot of gossip and gloating about others' misfortune.
"Their family seems to have a bad relationship?"
"They are all a shady bunch..."
"That's right. Who wouldn't be envious if you suddenly got a rare treasure?"
The father and son walked together, and when they arrived at Xu's house, they found that the doors and windows of their house were closed.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, everyone likes to sit outside and chat after dinner. How can anyone go back home so early with the doors and windows closed?
There must be a ghost!
Li Laoer thought so and knocked on the door.
The neighbors on the left and right looked at them curiously and murmured in a low voice, "Did you hear somewhere that the Xu family was getting rich, so they came to ask for a hand?"
"It's possible. There seem to be a lot of people coming and going today?"
"Is that why the Xu family said ambergris is fake?"
"The devil knows..."
Li Laoer's face turned dark when he heard that the nearby neighbors regarded them as poor relatives who were fighting against the autumn wind.
I had been working all day and was still hungry, so I was in a bad mood. Now I was banging on the door harder, as if I wanted to knock off the door panels, and I was shouting at them to open the door.
"Screaming, screaming, some short-lived ghost came to my door after dark and damaged my door. I want you to pay for it." Xu's mother shouted angrily.
Throughout the day, there were several waves of relatives who were out of reach, all crying about poverty.
To make their family rich, don’t forget about your relatives. If you need to pull something out, you should pull it out. If you need help, you should help it. As a human being, you can’t forget your roots and so on...
She was so angry that her liver hurt, and she kicked everyone out. Now she heard someone coming to the door again. It was strange that Xu's mother had a good tone.
Everyday, if someone dares to come to their house to make fun of the autumn breeze, borrow rice or money, their whole family will be scorned and even their parents don’t even know them.
"It's your uncle!"
Xu's mother opened the door with a stinky face and stared at them directly, "When can't you come to the door? It's late at night and no one else is sleeping? The door will be broken by you guys."
"Why are you talking? Where is Xu Laifu? Tell him to come out. I have something to ask him."
"What are you asking? If you have anything to do, just tell me!"
Li Laoer was furious and wanted to go into the house to find Xu Laifu, but she blocked the door. He shouted angrily: "Xu Laifu, come out!"
"Xu Laifu, come out here..."
"Xu Laifu..."
Xu's mother was furious, "What is it called?"
Everyone else in the room also ran out, and everyone looked ugly. Old Mrs. Xu also looked at this little brother with a long face.
"Why are you here? Do you want to come to your home to catch the autumn breeze and ask our family to help you? Are you starting to dream before you even close your eyes?"
Li Laoer's chest was heaving with anger and he was about to curse when he saw Xu Laifu limping out of the house.
"Xu Laifu, let me ask you, where did you get the piece of ambergris yesterday?"
"Go to the ambergris of horse riding!"
When this was mentioned, the whole family became angry, and Xu's mother directly swore.
"Uncle, you can't keep the one dollar promised," Xu Laifu said with a sad face, pointing to the pile of firewood in front of the stove, "The thing you want is over there."
Li Laoer rushed in and picked up a gray piece of wood from the firewood pile?
Yes, it’s wood!
The other surfaces were all grey-white, with only a piece cut off at the edge, revealing brown wood. Li Laoer frowned in disbelief and saw another piece of white cut off in the corner.
He picked up the two pieces, put them together one in each hand, and then murmured to himself, "Is it really wood?"
"Dad, could it be that their family is a liar? Deliberately making a fake one to fool us?"
Li Laoer instantly became energetic again after hearing this. It's possible!
No one who stole ambergris would admit it, and they would certainly not be willing to hand it over.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is there something wrong? We are too full, and we are deliberately making a lie to fool you? Are you that important?"
Xu's mother looked at their actions inexplicably, then looked at her youngest son, "What are you talking about, one dollar? What does your uncle want?"
Xu Laifu saw that all the family members' eyes were on him and couldn't help but wince, "I didn't pick this up, it was stolen from Ye Yaodong's house. My uncle said that if I steal it, he will give me one dollar."
.Who knew this thing is ambergris...ah, no...it's not ambergris..."
"Ah, Dad, look, he's spilled the beans! It's been revealed that what he stole was ambergris..." Li Laoer's eldest son said excitedly.
"No, no, I made a mistake. It's not ambergris, it's not ambergris... it's wood... it's wood..."
Li Laoer's eyes lit up and he became excited, "Don't lie, you just said you stole ambergris."
The villagers who gathered around the door curiously to listen were also in an uproar.
"Ah!!! It turns out I didn't pick it up at the beach, it was stolen!"
"Did the Adong family steal it? Hurry, hurry, hurry...go and notify their family...all the treasures have been stolen..."
"Damn it...does the Adong family not know the goods, so they don't know if they were stolen? Go tell them quickly..."
"One of you, hurry up and inform them..."
Everyone in the Xu family turned their heads and looked at the villagers in disbelief. They quickly explained, "No, it's not ambergris..."
Xu Laifu was also startled by the villagers at the door, "No... no... I didn't steal it from him, I picked it up. What I picked up was really wood, not ambergris... It really wasn't ambergris...
…”
"So many people have heard it. You said that what you stole was ambergris, and you also said that you were instigated by your uncle to steal ambergris..." A villager shouted righteously.
"Everyone, go tell A Dong, that's a treasure, don't suffer a big loss..."
"Go, go...Xiao Liu has already ran to their house..."
Everyone in the Xu family was there hurriedly explaining, but no one believed them anymore. The real owner had just admitted it.
Even if Li Laoer figured out now that Xu Laifu had really stolen the ambergris, he would not dare to yell at him to hand it over, or he would have to take a share of the pie. So many villagers had heard that he had stolen it from Ye Yaodong.
…
If the villagers didn't hear it, he could still get a piece of the Xu family's pie...
Ma De, why are the villagers in Baisha Village so gossipy?
