Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 259 There is also Zhao Xiaobao

"Hmph! Didn't you say you wanted to search us just now? Now you don't dare to do it again. What's the matter? Are you colluding with this family to cheat us of our money?" Old Mrs. Zhao became more and more arrogant.

"You! Do I need to cheat you of your money?" The village chief was so angry that his nose almost became crooked.

"Village chief, village chief, my old woman doesn't know how to speak. She didn't mean that." Zhao Tiansheng came out again to smooth things over.

"But we can't be wrongly accused for no reason, right? How can we live in this village in the future? So, if they want to search us, even if they can't find any money, they have to pay us thirty taels."

"this......"

"Okay, we agree!" The village chief was interrupted by Mei'er before he could speak.

"But Grandpa Village Chief, we don't trust them either, so let's write it down in black and white. If we find the silver, they have to return it to us. In addition, they have to give us the things that were smashed in our house and the money for our medicine."

"Hey! You little girl, you're really stubborn and you even want to write it down in black and white! Fine, I'll write it down. Don't regret it."

The Zhao family is now eager to settle this matter in black and white.

"Okay, then I'll go get paper and pen now, and ask Village Chief Ping and all the uncles and aunts to hide for us to be witnesses." Mei'er turned around and was about to get pen and ink.

"Mei'er, you'd better think it through carefully." The village chief still held her back with some concern.

"Grandpa Village Chief, don't worry." Mei'er gave the Village Chief a reassuring look.

Seeing that she was determined, the village chief did not try to stop her. He just thought about what to do if he really couldn't find the money.

Soon Mei'er took out the pen and ink.

The only table in the house had been smashed by the Zhao family. The village chief had no choice but to spread paper on the tribute table and reluctantly wrote down the agreement.

"This is a deed signed in Laohuaishu Village under the jurisdiction of Zhonghe Town, Yongding County, between the Zhao family and Duan's mother..."

After writing, the village chief lifted it up and read it aloud.

"Is there any problem with this deed?"

"No, start the body search!"

The Zhao family couldn't wait any longer, as if the thirty taels of silver were already beckoning to them.

"We have no problem either."

"Okay, let's start the body search. Men, come over here and I'll search you. Women, please ask Grandma Sun to come over and search them. Do you have any opinions?" asked the village chief.

Granny Sun's only daughter is already married, and she is generally recognized as the most amiable person in the village, so it is most appropriate for her to search the person.

"No."

The Zhao family shook their heads.

"Wait!"

Just as the village chief and Granny Sun were about to search her, Mei'er stood up again.

When they saw it was her, the Zhao family became even more proud.

"Why, are you scared? There's no point in being scared now, you guys give me the thirty taels!"

"Grandma, I'm not scared, I just have some questions to ask."

"You're just being stubborn!" Old Mrs. Zhao snorted, "If you have something to say, say it now!"

"Grandma, I want to ask if you are sure you don't have any silver on you?"

I thought he was going to ask something else, but he actually asked whether they had any silver on them. Everyone in the Zhao family wanted to laugh out loud.

"no!"

"You didn't bring any money from home?"

"Who goes out with money and wanders around the village so early in the morning?" Old Mrs. Zhao looked at Mei'er as if she were a fool.

"So you are sure you don't have any silver on you?"

"No! No! That's enough!" Old Mrs. Zhao became impatient.

"That's fine, Village Chief, I have no problem with you anymore. You can start the body search." Mei'er stepped aside.

The village chief and Granny Sun stepped forward and began to search them one by one.

All the Zhao family members are here today. There are more than ten people in total, young and old. Plus, the village chief and Granny Sun are afraid that they will be hidden by them and Mei'er and the others will be asked to pay compensation, so the search is particularly thorough.

But the more they searched, the uglier the faces of the two people behind them became. They didn't have any silver, not even a copper coin.

After the last search, the two still found nothing.

Seeing that they found nothing, the Zhao family cheered suddenly, and it was as lively as New Year's Day.

"Didn't find it? What are you talking about thirty taels of silver? You little bitch, there are indeed thirty taels of silver this time, but you have to compensate us!" Old Mrs. Zhao grinned at Mei'er provocatively with her big teeth bared.

When the Chen family saw this situation, they stood in front of Mei'er with concern.

"That's not right." Mei'er ignored her provocation.

"What's wrong? There are so many people watching here! And it's the village chief and Granny Sun who are searching! Do you still want to deny it?" Zhao Yuanxi looked like he wanted to eat someone.

The villagers also started talking about it.

"Yes! The village chief and Granny Sun have searched, so there is definitely nothing. Could it be that Mei'er and the others are lying?"

"Not really. They are doing well with Jiang Ji now, why would they want to frame her grandmother's family?"

"That's right. What's more, it was the Zhao family who came to the door first today. How could Mei'er and the others know that they were back?"

"I don't think so. It's probably because Mei'er was mad at her grandparents for beating them, so she deliberately framed them."

......

There are a lot of discussions, of course there are good and bad ones.

"Mei'er, this is indeed not the case!" Granny Sun pulled Mei'er's hand.

The village chief also shook his head at her.

"I didn't say I didn't trust the village chief and Grandma Sun, but there's still one person we haven't searched for!"

"Bullshit! All our family members are here, and no one has been found!" Old Mrs. Zhao's saliva was almost spraying on Mei'er's face.

"Grandma, where is your favorite grandson Xiaobao?"

"My little treasure..."

After her reminder, everyone remembered that the youngest grandson of the Zhao family was indeed gone.

"Yes, I saw him following here this morning." Wang Bixia spoke at the right time.

"Hahaha..." Old Mrs. Zhao laughed out loud, "Mei'er, you're not going to say that my little treasure stole your thirty taels, are you? Oh, that's so funny."

"He is only four years old. How can he find something that none of us can find?"

"Oh, he can't find it, but what if you find it and stuff it into him?" Mei'er did not give in.

"How could you say that..." Old Mrs. Zhao refused to admit it.

"That makes sense. Didn't we all forget about him just now? If you think about it this way, it's really possible."

"Yeah, where is he? Just find him and search for him!"

......

"Then go and find Zhao Xiaobao!" the village chief ordered.

"Village Chief, my little Baoke is only four years old, what can he know!"

Old Mrs. Zhao loved her grandson very much. He was her golden grandson whom she held in her mouth for fear that he would melt, and in her hands for fear that he would break. But to everyone's ears, this sounded like a guilty conscience.

"You two families don't have to go. Wang Bixia, take some people in to find Zhao Xiaobao." The village chief made the arrangements directly.

"Okay!" Wang Bixia responded, called a few women and went into the house.

"Found him, village chief! He's hiding behind the water tank!" A woman carried Zhao Xiaobao, whose hair was covered with spider webs, out of the kitchen like a chicken.

"Let me go, let me go!" Zhao Xiaobao struggled in her hands.

Seeing Zhao Xiaobao's image, the villagers believed him more.

If there is no ghost, why hide behind the water tank?

"Xiaobao, my dear grandson! Put him down! Who told you to treat my grandson like this!" Old Mrs. Zhao rushed forward and tried to snatch Zhao Xiaobao back from the woman.

Li Xiangqin also rushed over with great joy, because this was her most precious little son.

The woman turned around and avoided the two men.

"Auntie! Li Xiangqin, what are you doing? We haven't searched you yet, what are you trying to do in such a hurry?"

"What do we want to do? Who allowed you to carry our little treasure like this? Do you think you are carrying your own piglet? Can you afford to pay for it if it gets damaged?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wanted to rush forward to grab it, but were stopped by the village chief.

"Okay, put Zhao Xiaobao down, and don't come over. Wait until I finish searching."
