Chapter 31: Calculation

Ge Xiulan's brain was buzzing: "Mother, you misunderstood. You don't know, my parents-in-law didn't give money to treat the second son's leg, and the mother and daughter of the second branch were like crazy, wishing to make the matter known to the whole village. My father-in-law divided the second branch out of the family in a fit of anger."

"What, divided the family? After dividing the family, how can you still speak for your nephew?"

They are indeed mother and daughter, thinking the same: "Mother, don't worry, I definitely won't let Baocheng be a bachelor."

Ge Pozi was full of doubt: "You thought of a way?"

Ge Xiulan looked out the window and gave her nephew a wink.

Ge Baocheng still had some brains and immediately realized what his eldest aunt meant. He went out and stood at the door to prevent the conversation in the house from being heard.

Ge Xiulan saw the door closed, then held her mother's hand and said in a low voice: "Except for that dead girl Chunxiao, the second branch all went to the hospital. Anyway, as long as Chuxue's reputation is ruined, that side can fulfill the promise. So why not take advantage of their absence to confirm those things?

In this way, when Chuxue girl returns to the village, she won't be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths. Anyway, it is a fact that she didn't return home that night."

Ge Pozi was a little unhappy: "But this has nothing to do with our Baocheng, unless you can give up the job quota?"

Ge Xiulan didn't expect her family to dare to say anything: "Mother, what are you thinking? My husband Shangang also knows about this. If I really give the job quota to Baocheng, can he spare me?"

Ge Pozi didn't hear what she wanted to hear, and her head started to ache again. She covered her forehead and "hummed" again.

Ge Xiulan hurriedly said: "As long as that girl has no reputation, it won't be easy to find another family. Besides, we live in the same courtyard. With me watching all the time, there will always be a chance for our Baocheng, but it's just a matter of waiting a little longer."

The mother and daughter had just reached a consensus when they heard noise outside the courtyard: "Village head, you have also seen the situation of my family. With such a big loss, don't even think about letting us let it go like this."

"How could I mean that? I was thinking that if it could be solved in the village, I wouldn't add trouble to the public security comrades. Besides, the thief even moved away most of your firewood pile and the large strips of stone prepared for building the house. What kind of thief do you think has such great ability?"

"But we just walked through most of the village and didn't find any clues. We can't just wait like this. If it's too late, the thief will be even harder to find."

The eldest Ge brother also agreed with the village head's inference. The thief should be someone in the village. Otherwise, it would be impossible to transport so many things out in such a short time. Besides, there are elderly people chatting under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village all year round, so it's impossible not to see it.

Just as they were talking, the second Ge brother also brought his second sister and brother-in-law back: "Eldest brother, village head, how is it? Did you find anything?"

Ge Eldest shook his head with a dark face.

The village head was also a bit embarrassed. After all, he stopped the Ge family who wanted to report to the public security. Now that no clues were found, it was indeed quite embarrassing.

Before he could speak, he heard the youngest Ge daughter, Ge Xiuqiao, say with bad intentions: "The village head stopped my eldest brother and second brother from reporting to the public security. If the things can't be found, do you have to compensate?"

The village head's face was very ugly when he heard this, and his speech also carried anger: "I was thinking about the village's reputation. Look at what you are saying?"
