Chapter 419: Arrest and send to official position
Li Zheng was a little confused. How could it be that Mrs. Wang and the others were the ones destroying the pepper seedlings at Su Xiaoxiao's house? What was their reason? It's really puzzling.
For example, if other villagers destroyed the batch of peppers grown by Su Xiaoxiao, they would be forgiven.
Su Xiaoxiao is their daughter-in-law, why do you do this? Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot? This is very tiring.
Li Zheng asked Mrs. Wang, "Sister-in-law, we never imagined that the person who destroyed Su Xiaoxiao's family would be you? Why can't you think about it so hard?"
Mrs. Wang and Su Xiuer had stiff necks and unconvinced looks on their faces, as if they were saying, "What's going on? We've done this anyway, what can you do to us?"
Su Xiangdong looked innocent. It felt as if he had been caught, his hands spread out, and he looked helpless.
Now Su Xiaoxiao was very angry when she saw that it was them, "Mom, what are you doing? I have worked hard to cultivate these acres of land, why do you come here to destroy it!"
Mrs. Wang pushed out her chest, put her hands on her hips and shouted at Su Xiaoxiao: "What are you talking about? This is our land. What kind of peppers did you use to grow? Aren't you wasting it? What's the use of peppers? Can it be eaten? ”
It’s true, chili peppers cannot be eaten as food.
The few acres of land that Su Xiaoxiao planted were really the land of their old Su family. Because they had no time to plant, Su Xiaoxiao hired people to farm here after obtaining the consent of Old Man Su.
"Mom, please don't mess around, okay? If you don't farm, other people's crops are about to sprout. If you still don't farm, the fields are already abandoned. I asked my father and asked for his permission. Just hired people to farm these acres of land!”
"No! This is the land of our old Su family!" Su Xiuer pulled her neck and shouted. She seemed to be even more powerful than her mother, "What else can you plant in this land? But what are you planting on this land?"
Old Mrs. Wang was still confident. She said to the surrounding villagers who came to help catch them: "Come on, everyone, take a look. These things called peppers are grown in our family's prime fields. They are simply... It’s embarrassing for our family. Is there a family in the village that grows peppers? She, Su Xiaoxiao, always does this, as if she is special!”
"I tell you Su Xiaoxiao, not only we can't stand it, but the elders in the village can't stand it either!"
Li Zheng came out to speak at this time, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong! Please tell me, who in the village can't stand this thing, and you called them out?"
One sentence made Mrs. Wang speechless, "Someone said that, but it was just a bad thing to say in person. There are many people who are talking behind the scenes!"
At this time, there were indeed some old people in the crowd talking about this matter. They had also heard people talk about Su Xiaoxiao growing peppers in their own land, and they did so with great fanfare and without shying away from it at all.
They feel that doing so is indeed a bit unconventional and goes against the precepts of their ancestors. Their descendants and grandchildren of all generations have lived here in this village. Although they have no great abilities, their land has never been It has been abandoned, and in line with this ancestral precept, although there is no great wealth, at least no one is hungry because of it.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the surrounding villagers, and she saw suspicion in some people's eyes.
After all, she was completely unique this time. Although the villagers were called over by Li Zheng to help her catch the thief, not everyone among them felt that growing peppers in the ground was the right thing to do. At this time, Su Xiaoxiao understood one thing, that is, to break those stereotypes and old conservative ideas, this cannot be done immediately.
This time she is the only one who is the scorpion daddy. Before when she opened a jam workshop, she would first let everyone pick oranges and other things and come to her to exchange them for money, and everyone would benefit almost immediately.
But this time, she was so unique that she used the village land to play new tricks. Speaking of which, the life of farmers is the land, and nothing else matters. They value the land they rely on for survival more than anything else.
Su Xiaoxiao finally sighed and said: "In this case, I will go to the county master to ask for a document. If the document is approved, I can grow peppers in our Baihua Village. Then if any of you come to destroy my pepper fields again, just go Go to the county master to ask for punishment!”
After Su Xiaoxiao said that, she turned around and left. She did not pursue the matter immediately, mainly because she had not yet said anything to convince the public.
When Li Zheng saw Su Xiaoxiao leaving, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Sister-in-law, you are really stubborn! Just wait. Once the approval from the county comes, if you do this again, you will be sued. ”
In fact, there is no need for approval from the county. Now that Mrs. Wang is so reckless in destroying other people's land, she will be sued. However, the land still belongs to their family, so there is no correct explanation.
But if the matter of growing chili peppers is rationalized and everyone in the village accepts it, then if she continues to act like a monster here, no one will be willing to come and support her.
Mrs. Wang, Su Xiuer and others walked away dejectedly under the strange gazes of others.
It's really quite speechless to talk about this matter, but other people in these villages have nothing to say about their family affairs.
Li Zheng just told everyone else to disperse. Now that the person who destroyed this place has been found, this matter is over for now.
Su Xiaoxiao kept her promise and went to the county government office the next day to find Mr. He, the current county magistrate.
She arrived at the gate of the county government office and asked the police to report it. What she didn't expect was that the county master actually replied: "Please!"
This is the first time Su Xiaoxiao has entered the county magistrate's house. She has seen the majesty and solemnity of the county government at the gate of the county government before. It's just that that time I met the Tenth Prince who was looking for trouble here and insisted on setting up some kind of arena.
At that time, Su Xiaoxiao had only seen it outside. This was the first time she had come into the county government office to see it. It indeed looked very majestic and solemn, making people feel a little awe-inspiring.
Of course, the county master did not go to court, but received her in the living room at the back.
The county master's surname was He. He had a kind face and was quite wealthy. He was white, fat and short in stature. He didn't speak, but his eyes narrowed with a smile.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "Sure enough, I still work as an official to support people. The county master and her father-in-law, old man Su, are actually about the same age, but just looking at their appearance, they seem to be a generation apart."
