Chapter 39 A thief stole manure
Looking at Old Lady Su, who was leaning on her butt, holding a tiny hoe and desperately digging a hole under the wall, Old Lady Song, who was holding a big broom, thought she looked so stupid.
After turning her head and making eye contact with the family members around her, Old Lady Song swung her big broom with great force and swept Old Lady Su, who was lying on her buttocks, into the manure pit next to her with one swift and accurate blow.
She remembered that the Su family wanted to borrow transportation from their family, so she was naturally ruthless.
Old Mrs. Su was digging the pit with great enthusiasm, but she didn't expect that she didn't check carefully and flew up slightly on the spot. Then, when she came to her senses from the daze, she was already in the pit.
She was anxious, not because she had fallen into the pit, but because she had placed the talisman next to the pit, pressing it with a stone, and she didn't know if it had fallen into the pit with her.
He waved his hands, wanting to climb up, and more importantly, he wanted to see clearly who had pushed him into the pit.
But she never expected that the next second, the destined big broom would come straight towards her face.
And her question of who pushed her into the pit was answered.
Because along with the falling of the big broom, there was also the voice of Old Lady Song:
"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Someone came to my house to steal manure! Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly! There is a thief!"
Manure is extremely important to farmers.
Even if it is not used to fertilize the fields during the busy farming season, the fertilizer for the vegetable garden in the family yard is also relied on it.
Therefore, every household attaches great importance to their own pit toilet, and it is no small matter if someone comes to steal manure.
It just so happened that the place chosen by Old Lady Su was close to the Song family's toilet, which gave Old Lady Song an excellent reason, so how could she not use it?
She shouted at the top of her voice, and the Song family members who had come out with her and had been well prepared also took out the weapons they had prepared and started to fight.
Some held sticks, some held long bamboo poles, and some held shovels.
But they knew exactly who the "feces thief" in the pit was, and they did not kill her at all. Instead, they controlled the struggling old lady Su and prevented her from getting up from the pit.
In the dead of night, shouting at the top of your lungs is the easiest way to be heard.
Except for a few outsiders, everyone else in Songjia Village is from the same clan and they are very united and supportive.
So after hearing clearly what was being shouted and figuring out who was doing it, the kind-hearted neighbors all came out to help.
Instead, the Su family, who lived next door to the Song family, heard the noise but did not come out.
They didn't think this matter had anything to do with their family. After all, Old Lady Su had decided to bury the talisman at the Song family without discussing it with her family.
Old Mrs. Su felt that the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the safer it would be.
This resulted in the group of filial sons and grandchildren in their family turning over and continuing to sleep after hearing the noise.
At most, Zhang Chuncao muttered, "It's so noisy late at night."
Seeing neighbors running out to help, Old Lady Song reduced the strength of her beatings on Old Lady Su, giving her enough time to scream out.
But she didn't intend to let Old Lady Su get away so easily.
When you bury the talisman under the wall of their house and borrow their luck, you must be prepared to be beaten by her.
Old Mrs. Song wielded the broom even more vigorously, and the sight of her doing so made people terrified.
"Miss San, take a rest, we'll do it! We want to know whose house the thief belongs to. Don't you have enough manure at home? He stole it from other people's houses! We're from the same village, and we'll lend it to you if you ask! Is it stealing?"
Song Tieniu, who lived diagonally opposite the Song family, held a wooden rake in his hand, as if he was going to fork out the thief who had fallen into the toilet and bring him to justice.
It just so happened that Old Lady Song was also having a great time fighting, so she threw the large broom covered in feces in her hand aside, making room for Song Tieniu to pull the man up with the fork.
The villagers who came to help gathered around and watched Song Tieniu holding a wooden rake and going to the Song family's pit toilet.
Although Old Lady Su's face was covered with filthy stuff, she could tell from the sound of their voices that there must be a lot of people around.
She felt that she couldn't afford to lose face, but she also felt that the Song family's toilet was not a place for people to stay. After shrinking her neck, when she heard Song Tieniu say that he was going to fork her up, she quickly raised her neck and shouted:
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
They are all from the same village and live in the same place. If everyone can recognize Old Lady Song's voice, they can naturally recognize Old Lady Su's voice as well.
Song Tieniu held the wooden rake frozen in mid-air and asked uncertainly, "Aunt Su?"
Before Old Lady Su in the toilet could answer, someone nearby confirmed:
"Hey, isn't that the voice of Old Lady Su? Why did she come to Song Sanfu's house to steal manure?"
Hearing this man putting stolen manure on her body, Old Lady Su didn't care where she was now, and hurriedly explained:
"No, that's not the case. I didn't come here to steal manure. This is all a misunderstanding!"
Song Tieniu hesitated whether to pull Old Lady Su up first, but at this moment, Old Lady Song stepped forward and stopped him.
Old Lady Song is his third aunt, and Old Lady Su calls her aunt because they are from the same village, so Song Tieniu naturally listens to Old Lady Song.
He retracted his hand holding the wooden rake and watched Old Lady Song step forward and question Old Lady Su in the toilet:
"You said you weren't here to steal manure, so what were you doing sneaking around in the corner of my house, next to the toilet, in the middle of the night?"
Old Mrs. Su didn't expect that the wooden rake that had been raised to her eyes would retract again, which forced her to answer Old Mrs. Song first.
But could she just say that she was here to bury the talisman?
Of course this is not possible!
If she said that, not only would she not be able to go to the toilet, she might even get beaten by Old Lady Song again.
She's not stupid!
But at this moment, in the middle of the night, what excuse could she come up with?
Old Mrs. Su stammered and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"What's wrong? Are you mute? Don't talk anymore?" Old Mrs. Song looked at Old Mrs. Su with disdain.
Old Mrs. Su had an inexplicable feeling that if she didn't find a reason to come out, Old Mrs. Song would just keep wasting time and make her stay in the toilet forever.
So, she made up her mind and said, "I, I just came out for a walk because it's a nice night!"
Her excuse was worse than no excuse at all, and many people laughed out loud.
Old Mrs. Song had already predicted that she would answer like this and was waiting for her to answer like this!
Old Mrs. Song raised her hand, and Song Dafu behind her handed her a talisman.
This talisman was the one that was pressed under the stone by Old Lady Su before. It happened that it was not swept down into the pit by Old Lady Song's powerful swing of the broom. Instead, it was collected by Doctor Song.
"Don't say you're just out for a stroll. I now suspect that you not only want to steal my manure, but also want to use some means to plant something in my house!"
Old Lady Song waved the talisman in front of Old Lady Su's eyes, then circled it in front of the onlookers, and finally pointed it at the pit under the corner of the wall next to the toilet:
"I found this right where you were squatting just now, right under the corner of the wall next to my toilet. The pit you dug is all there! Tell me what this talisman is used for!"
