Chapter 161 He is a thief from his hometown

"It's Widow You from the village."

"Widow You? Can you ask her to find out who to give the purse to?"

The village chief looked blank, he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Lin Changlu also saw something was wrong with him.

"Village chief, just say whatever you want. If it's inconvenient for you to go, I'll take Xiuzhi to ask later."

The village chief sighed.

"Changlu! In fact, we have already asked who that person is. To be honest, I really didn't expect it to be him!"

"Who is it?"

"Widow You said that she embroidered the purse pattern and gave it to your eldest brother. Since Qin's death, he has been away from home every day, visiting the widow's house.

Lin Changlu didn't expect that his eldest brother would get involved with Widow You, let alone that he would come to his house to steal things, and even beat his wife's sister-in-law unconscious.

Speaking of Widow You, she is more than ten years younger than Lin Changgui. I don’t know why the two of them fell in love with each other.

Lin Changgui would give him a lot of money every time he went there, and Widow You didn't let him take the money for nothing.

I embroidered a purse for him to express my friendship.

When the village chief's wife took the purse and asked if it was from her, she deceived Widow You into her home.

The village chief frightened her for a while, and soon deceived her into giving the purse that the government servant had found to someone.

Lin Changlu felt very complicated at the moment.

If he didn't arrest Lin Changgui, he felt sorry for his wife. If he arrested him and sent him to the Yamen, this man's life would be ruined, not to mention that he still had an old lady at home.

He didn't know what to choose for a moment, so he squatted on the ground and rubbed his face.

The village chief also knew that it was difficult for him to make a decision. After all, no matter what, Lin Changgui was still his brother with broken bones and even tendons.

"Why don't you tell your sister-in-law about this and see what she thinks."

"It's something to say."

"What Chang Gui did was really outrageous."

After a while, Lin Changlu stood up again.

Together with the village chief, he went to find Mr. Pei and told him about this matter.

Mrs. Pei immediately became angry when she found out that it was Lin Changgui who did it.

"Does our family owe them? Why do you want me to let him go if he catches us? There is no way. What he is doing now is a thief and should be punished."

Lin Changlu was still a little hesitant at first, but now that his wife said it, he also thought that he could not indulge his elder brother.

"Village Chief, I have decided, let's go to my eldest brother's house together!"

The village chief asked solemnly, "Have you really thought about it?"

Lin Changlu nodded, "Think about it, since he has done something wrong, he must bear the consequences himself, not to mention that he has hurt others, and my sister-in-law is still in a coma. After all, she is looking after the house for us, so she must pay back

She is fair."

The village chief didn't say anything when he saw this.

When they arrived at Lin Changgui's house, only Mrs. Chen was at home.

She didn't know what Lin Changlu and the village chief were doing.

He leaned on crutches and poked the ground and cursed Lin Changlu: "Why are you here? This family is falling apart because of you!"

"Mom, where has eldest brother gone?"

Lin Changlu knew that if he talked too much to his mother, he would only get scolded, so why not ask Lin Changgui directly where he was.

"I don't know where he has gone. He's been away from home all day, and he doesn't care about me, an old woman. What's the point of raising a son? It's all in vain to raise one or two."

"We didn't say we wouldn't support you. It was you who kicked us out for the sake of your eldest brother, and you wanted to sever ties with us. What's the point of saying this now?"

"Huh! If I hadn't kicked you out in the first place, you would have been able to live like this."

"The good life we ​​have now is the result of our hard work. When you kicked us out and left us nothing, didn't you want to watch our family starve to death?"

When the village chief saw the two of them arguing, he quickly came out and persuaded him: "Okay, stop arguing. Madam, we have something to do with Chang Gui. If you know where he has gone, can you please tell me?"

Mrs. Chen was still willing to give face to the village chief. She rolled her eyes at Lin Changlu and said, "Before you guys came, he packed up his things in a hurry and ran out. I don't know where he went.

He is in trouble now. My eldest great-grandson was admitted to the imperial examination. He took away so many things given by others and didn’t know who to give them to, nor did he know how to honor my mother."

When Lin Changlu and the village chief heard about it, Lin Changgui ran away. Did he know about it in advance?

They didn't see anyone, so they had to go back first.

Seeing that they hadn't caught anyone, Pei looked at Lin Changlu with a cold look.

The number of times they had trouble over the years could be counted on one's fingers.

Now that she heard that Lin Changgui had run away, she felt a chill in her heart. She thought that Lin Changlu had tipped off his elder brother. Thinking that her sister-in-law was still lying in bed unconscious, the fire in her heart arose.

As soon as the village chief left, he called Lin Changlu into the bedroom.

As soon as she entered, she sat down on the stool next to the table, leaning her elbows on the edge, her face expressionless.

Lin Changgui was about to sit down on the stool next to him, but before his butt touched the stool, he was frightened and stood up by Mrs. Pei's sharp shout.

"Who asked you to sit down?"

He knew that Mrs. Pei was angry, so he immediately said: "Xiuzhi, are you angry?"

"Can't you see? Tell me, did you tip off your elder brother?"

"It's okay. You were there before the village chief and I went. How could I have time to report the news? What's more, he did something wrong in the first place. I still know what is right and wrong!"

"Hmph, who knows what you are thinking. My sister-in-law is here to protect our family and she is still awake. Your elder brother dares to hurt people for money. I will not let him go this time no matter what. If you prefer

If you follow your brother, we won't be able to survive.

And isn’t your eldest brother capable of running away? Then I will ask Mingjie to go to the county government office tomorrow to sue him for absconding in fear of crime. He will be wanted everywhere, and he will be a wanted criminal from now on.”

"Xiuzhi, don't be angry yet. Don't worry, I will definitely be on your side. I will remember the injuries your sister-in-law suffered because of us. Can I go to the county government office tomorrow? I will report it myself."

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Pei's anger dropped by half.

"Okay, let Mingjie go with you tomorrow."

"I can go by myself. Mingjie should stay at home and take care of my sister-in-law!"

"Stop inking, this is the arrangement."

Lin Changlu did not refute, and then went to discuss the matter with Pei Mingjie.

Lin Changgui has already run up the mountain.

When he went to the house of his old friend Widow You, he heard that the village chief's wife asked her about the origin of the purse.

Widow You also asked him where his wallet was, and then she remembered that she had lost it.

Then she also found out that the village chief was testing her.

After learning that she had told the village chief and others that she had given the purse to him, she immediately ran home, packed her things and ran away.
