Liu Cuirong's eyes widened, and she cursed, "Oh, you! Look how capable you are. Are you thinking of making a move?"
She rolled up her sleeves and patted her belly, "I'm carrying a child here. Try touching me!"
Let's see if I can't extort you to death...
Lu Jinping's expression froze, and she stopped in her tracks with a "slither," sneering, "Liu Cuirong, with you like this, you can still get pregnant?"
"Heh, Er Man has quite a taste. He even dares to touch you. Aren't you afraid of having nightmares in the middle of the night!~"
She had been married to Yun Goudan for so many years and hadn't even had a child...
So she spoke with a sour tone, her eyes red with jealousy.
Liu Cuirong listened and calmly replied, "What's wrong? Are you envious because you can't get pregnant? Oh my, if I count, I'll have three, and you haven't even seen a single hair!~"
Liu Cuirong counted on her fingers while shaking her head at Lu Jinping, "Or is it that Yun Goudan always hangs out outside and never touches you, which is why you can't get pregnant?"
"Tsk tsk, as a woman, you're truly pathetic. A mere foxtail flower wilts like this, not even cow dung wants to touch you..."
After her tirade, Lu Jinping was so angry she was panting, her eyes almost bulging out.
"You... you slut, my family matters don't concern you!~" Lu Jinping cursed.
Yun Goudan heard the commotion and ran out.
He had worked all night and was groggy, staggering as he walked...
Hearing the noisy sounds, he became extremely annoyed. He glared at Liu Cuirong and cursed loudly, "What crazy dog is making such a racket in front of my house?"
"Jinping, quickly get her away from here. Don't disturb my sleep, it's so unlucky!~"
If it weren't for his fear of Er Man beating him, Yun Goudan would have already beaten Liu Cuirong until she couldn't sit properly...
The Yun brothers were not to be trifled with, and they were also a prestigious family personally honored by the emperor. Their youngest daughter was exceptionally accomplished.
If they were to beat Liu Cuirong to the ground, they would inevitably face legal trouble.
Stealing bricks was another matter entirely.
They had no evidence, so they couldn't just accuse someone with mere words...
"Yun Goudan, who are you calling unlucky?" Liu Cuirong put her hands on her hips, her chin held high, "Look at your tattered clothes, you look like a beggar!~"
"Your body is so dirty, with big circles and small circles, it's more disgusting than a toad. It's obvious your wife doesn't manage the household well, she doesn't even wash your clothes."
As Liu Cuirong was cursing, she suddenly felt something was wrong...
"Huh? No, why are there so many brick fragments on you?"
Her bricks were missing. Could this scoundrel have stolen them?
Liu Cuirong lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed to the main entrance, looking around the yard...
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at? Get out of the way!~"
Yun Goudan nudged her and blocked Liu Cuirong's view, "If you don't get lost, I'll strip your clothes and tie you to a tree, it'll be so embarrassing for you!~"
"Ptooey!" Liu Cuirong spat in his face, "You think you're so tough? You're embarrassing others like this? Go back and pee in a puddle to look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you're worthy?"
Yun Goudan: "..."
Did this crazy woman take the wrong medicine today?
Why did she come to their doorstep acting so strange?
If those bricks and wood were discovered by her, he would end up in jail.
"Yun Goudan, why aren't you talking? Are you feeling guilty because you stole my bricks?"
Liu Cuirong narrowed her eyes, "Do you dare to let me go in and search?"
"Search for what..." Yun Goudan cursed.
He was indeed feeling guilty.
After dealing with those bricks, he was completely exhausted and fell asleep without even changing his clothes...
At this moment, Madam Gu, leading Little Xi Tian, also hurried over.
They had searched the village extensively and hadn't found their old bricks.
However, there was quite a commotion at Yun Wangcai's house.
Several villagers had already gathered to watch the spectacle.
"Mom, you're here just in time. This scoundrel stole our bricks. Look, his clothes are still covered in brick fragments..."
Liu Cuirong said with certainty.
Madam Gu glanced over and her face darkened, "Yun Goudan, if you stole the bricks, hand them over immediately. Don't wait for the yamen runners to deal with you!~"
Little Xi Tian also vaguely sensed something was wrong.
She stared at the intricate wheel tracks on the ground, her big eyes suddenly looking towards Yun Wangcai's yard...
Wow, it's possible he really stole them.
There were still many brick fragments on the ground in the center of the yard that hadn't been swept clean.
Yun Wangcai's house was a thatched hut built with yellow mud. There wasn't a single blue brick inside or outside the house.
So where did these fragments come from?
"You... don't slander me. It's just a few old bricks. I can get as many as I want, why would I bother stealing?"
Yun Goudan stubbornly argued loudly.
After Yun Wangcai stole the bricks, he drank a bowl of sorghum wine and was now sleeping like a dead pig on the kang.
He had no idea the Yun family had come looking for him...
Little Xi Tian raised her small head and glared at Yun Goudan, "Where are my bricks? Give them back!~"
The little brat still needed bricks to build his house.
"Your family's bricks are missing, why are you yelling at my doorstep? We didn't steal them!~" Lu Jinping glared at her.
The onlookers, seeing Lu Jinping dare to scold Sweet Baby, instantly became enraged...
"Yun Goudan, your family is the most dishonest in our village. You're always stealing chickens and dogs. Don't think we don't know!~"
"Who says not? Your family is so poor they can't even afford to eat, where did that donkey come from?"
"Where else could it come from? Stolen, of course. Didn't you hear Liu Mazi from Xinwang Village say his donkey went missing?"
"Hmph, people like you should be washed away by a flood and drowned. How dare you make such a fuss, aren't you ashamed of yourselves!~"
"..."
With the villagers' support, Yun Goudan and his wife were completely unable to retort. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't steal them!~" Yun Goudan's face turned red, and he moved further into the yard.
"Jinping, close the main gate. If they don't mind the heat, let them chatter. I have a clear conscience, so I'm not afraid of what they say...~"
If you can't win a verbal argument, can't you just hide?
After the storm passed, they would take out the bricks to build their house.
They would then claim they found the bricks in the county town. Even if the Yun family had suspicions, they wouldn't have any evidence.
"You're not allowed to close the door!~" Little Xi Tian said in her tender voice.
She crouched down, picked up a few brick fragments, and let Xue Ling smell them, "Go find the bricks!~"
"Woof woof..." Xue Ling barked twice and ran towards the yard.
Yun Wangcai's house only had two dilapidated rooms, with no place to hide bricks.
Xue Ling had a keen sense of smell and would know where they were.
Yun Goudan was greatly alarmed. He didn't care if Lu Jinping had entered the yard or not, he immediately closed the yard gate and latched it...
His heart was pounding, almost scaring him to death.
Just then, Old Man Yun, along with Da Man and Er Man, walked over, with Xiao Jinheng following leisurely behind.
