Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 95

"Zhang Cuilan stole my rice and flour. When I told her not to steal anymore, she tried to snatch it. After she snatched it, she ran away, but God isn't blind, she was. She ran behind a cow and got kicked by it. That's just how she is," Zhao Da'e said indignantly.

"It wasn't me who kicked her. How old am I? How could I possibly kick her in the head? I'm not Wong Fei-hung, I don't have a Foshan Shadowless Kick that I can fly. I kicked her in the head. And she's framing me."

After hearing what Zhao Da'e said, everyone agreed that Zhao Da'e was right.

After all, Zhang Cuilan's injury was on her forehead, with a large bump and bleeding, but it was impossible for Zhao Da'e to have hit her there. Zhao Da'e was very short; even if he jumped, he couldn't reach Zhang Cuilan's forehead, so Zhang Cuilan must have been kicked by a cow.

As for what happened next, Niu La Diarrhea got all over Zhang Cuilan. Everyone was there, so Zhao Da'e couldn't be blamed for it. It was just Zhang Cuilan's bad luck; even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Although the Zhao brothers didn't know Zhang Cuilan's character, looking at the bag of flour, they couldn't help but think that what Zhao Da'e said was true. After all, not many people in the village could afford steamed buns; most families ate cornmeal and millet porridge. How many families could afford rice and wheat flour?

Yesterday, Zhao Da'e fed the helpers rice, wheat flour, and braised pork with vermicelli.

Looking at it this way, the white flour must belong to Zhao Da'e.

The crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves: "So Zhang Cuilan is a thief. And she's not young at all, over thirty years old. She stole a six or seven-year-old niece's face powder and got caught. She really has no shame."

“She’s talking nonsense. I didn’t steal her noodles,” Zhang Cuilan retorted. “I was just…”

"Hehe. This bag of flour is mine, right?" Zhao Da'e walked over and took out a grain coupon from the bag. Because this bag of flour was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, which required grain coupons. After buying it, the people at the supply and marketing cooperative would punch a hole in the grain coupon to prove that the coupon had been used. After taking the money, they would put the grain coupon into the bag of flour.

Moreover, supply and marketing cooperatives usually keep records, as grain is of paramount importance and cannot be taken lightly. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and supply and marketing cooperatives have always followed the rules in this regard. Zhao Da'e took out the grain coupons, on which Zhao Da'e's name was clearly written.

Zhao Da'e showed everyone the grain coupons with his name on them.

The truth has been largely revealed.

Zhang Cuilan did indeed steal Zhao Da'e's noodles. And she was indeed caught.

The Zhao brothers frowned; they were disgusted by such a disgraceful act.

If someone asks me when I go out in the future, "Is your sister-in-law Zhang Cuilan, the one who stole noodles in Dongtaizi Village?" how should I answer?

Who wants to be associated with thieves?

In ancient times, when people cursed someone, they would say "thief convict." Sometimes, if someone made a mistake, they would even have a gold mark tattooed on their face to wear for the rest of their life.

Although that's no longer the case, a person's reputation is still important. Who wants a thief to come from their own family?

How can I hold my head up in the village after that?

Zhao Tingming was also there, as was Zhao Tingxu's third brother, Zhao Tingjun, who was also Zhao Da'e's great-grandfather. He frowned, and the two old men looked at Zhao Tingxu with unfriendly eyes.

Zhao Tingxu is now unable to defend himself. His daughter-in-law stole something, got caught, and then turned around and accused him, framing him. This kind of family atmosphere is not good.

Zhao Tingxu angrily scolded, "Gangzi, you better take your wife inside and stop embarrassing yourself here."

Zhang Cuilan refused to get up. She rolled on the ground, hitting and cursing, "This is outrageous! The Zhao family is ganging up on me, an outsider! They don't treat their daughter-in-law like a human being! Is there no law anymore?"
