Chapter 294 Food was stolen
Early in the morning, when everyone had just gotten up, Niu Fusheng started shouting and ran to the village chief, Chen Shouren: "Village chief, my food was stolen!"
Niu Fusheng looked anxious.
Everyone's attention was drawn to him and everyone gathered around him.
"Village chief, those are the last rations for me and my child. If we have no food, how will my child and I survive?" Niu Fusheng's eyes were red, and he pointed to the empty bag of food in his hand.
Chen Shouren was a little unsure for a moment: "We are all from the same village, how could you do such a thing, will you let it go?"
Niu Fusheng shook his empty bag and said, "Village Chief, how could I lose it? The bag of grain is still in my hand!"
The two families who lived with Niu Fusheng immediately testified for him: "Village chief, Niu Fusheng still had a lot of food in his food bag last night!"
"Yes, our two families can testify for him!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shouren immediately looked at everyone and asked, "Who among you took Niu Fusheng's food?"
That is definitely something no one would admit.
When Niu Fusheng saw this, he immediately sat down on the ground and said, "We are from the same village. You took my and my children's food and deliberately wanted us to die!"
Everyone watching could only feel sympathy for him.
At this time, someone spoke up: "Niu Fusheng, Niu Er is also your son. If you have no food, why don't you just eat with Niu Er?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Niu Er stood out in the crowd.
Niu Er clenched his hands. The three of them had left the collapsed house without bringing any food with them. They had been eating at Aunt Xie's house these days...
At this time, Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and scolded the man, "How can you say that? Did you steal my Fusheng's food?"
Everyone looked at that person again. This time, they saw that it was the Wu family in the village. They had a large family, with several brothers, wives, sons and daughters, a lot of people!
Wu's parents are still alive.
Mrs. Wang started talking. She had a fairly good relationship with Mrs. Wu, so Mrs. Wu immediately scolded her son: "You are so talkative. There is also the village chief. It is not your turn to speak!"
The scolded son of the Wu family immediately stopped talking.
The old lady of the Wu family stood up and said, "Mrs. Wang, my son is a very talkative person. Don't blame him. But we definitely didn't touch your Niu Fusheng's food. And you know about our Wu family."
Mrs. Wang said nothing. It was true that with so many people in the Wu family, if they stole Niu Fusheng's little food, it would not be enough to support two mouths.
Niu Fusheng said to Chen Shouren again: "Village Chief, you must make the decision for me. This is really the life-saving food for me and my child!"
Chen Shouren was also angry when he said this, and continued to say to everyone: "Who among you took Niu Fusheng's food? Hand it over now, and we will still be in the same village in the future. But if you don't hand it over, it won't be found out or you get caught, then don't blame me for driving you out of the village!"
Everyone looked at each other, but still no one stood up...
Chen Shouren was a little troubled for a moment, and Niu Fusheng looked at everyone.
"I haven't done anything wrong to any of you. Who on earth are you to treat me like this?"
But still no one responded to him.
Chen Shouren walked up to Xie Jiaojiao at this time: "Jiaojiao, do you have any way to find out about this matter?"
After hearing what Chen Shouren said, everyone immediately looked at Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao also looked at everyone, not missing anyone's expression.
Finally, Xie Jiaojiao stood up and said, "It's not difficult to investigate this matter. Every day, everyone takes out their own food and cooks together. Everyone knows exactly how much food is in each other's food bags. Also, since this has happened once, it will definitely happen again if everyone doesn't stop it. If you want to protect your own food, then now is the best time to tell the truth!"
When Chen Shou heard this, he immediately asked everyone to take out their own food. Niu Fusheng's food was stolen, but the bag was still there. So the thief who stole the food directly poured the food in Niu Fusheng's bag into his own bag!
And for all these people who have persisted in this cave until now, there is not much food left in their food bags!
Xie Jiaojiao's family took the lead in taking out their own food, but there wasn't much, only half a bag.
Then those who had nothing to hide also took out their own food, until finally, except for one family!
That’s the He family!
Chen Shouren looked at their family and said, "What are you dithering about?"
Niu Fusheng took one look and immediately pointed at them and said, "Village Chief! They must have taken my food!"
When Niu Fusheng said this, He Youcai immediately jumped up and said, "Niu Fusheng! You farted!"
"If your family didn't take my food, why didn't you take out your own food?"
He Youcai was immediately speechless.
The He brothers didn't say anything either.
Niu Fusheng immediately said to the village chief: "Village chief, they don't dare to take it out!"
Chen Shouren also looked at their family and warned, "He Youcai, take out your family's food!"
He Youcai finally sighed: "Village Chief, we have no food at home!"
Everyone looked at them.
He Youcai took out an empty bag from his arms, shook it, and there was indeed not a grain of rice in it!
Niu Fusheng immediately did it again: "Village chief, they must be lying. They must have hidden the food they stole from me!"
The crowd also didn't quite believe them.
He Youcai said, "I've said it before! Our family's surplus food is already less than yours, and this time there are so many people in our family running away! If we had so much food, would I have let my mother starve for several days?"
What he said...
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the He family. Li Yan'er whispered to Jiang Ruonan, "They are all out of food. Did they starve to death? They must have stolen it!"
Jiang Ruonan gave her a look, telling her to shut up.
Li Yan'er pouted and looked very unhappy.
Niu Fusheng didn't believe it, so he rushed over and searched several men in the He family, trying to find his own food!
But there was nothing. The He family really didn't have a single grain of food.
Chen Shouren said, "The He family is out of food now, so it shouldn't be stolen by them."
Just as he finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao asked again: "But you have no food left, how are you going to survive? Can you be full by drinking water?"
Everyone in the He family looked at Xie Jiaojiao, and He Youcai said, "That's none of your business. What's not available in this mountain? Just take a look around outside, and we can find something to eat!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "You are right, it seems that it was not your family that stole Niu Fusheng's food!"
Everyone in the He family rolled their eyes.
However, when Xie Jiaojiao looked at the old lady of the He family, she saw her hunched over, hiding behind everyone in the He family, her eyes evasive.
Xie Jiaojiao stepped forward, and the He family immediately stopped her and looked at her with warning eyes: "What are you doing?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at He Youcai: "Why are you so anxious? I just think your mother hasn't eaten for several days. I wonder if her body can handle it. How about we let the doctor in our village take a look at your mother?"
