After her husband died in battle, she relied on the villain cub to make a comeback.

Ye Zhizhi guarded Si Zhu tightly behind him and said word by word, "Catch a thief and take the stolen goods, catch an adulterer in pairs, how much money your family has lost is your family's business, why should you accuse my son of stealing it? I respect you." The elders won’t slap you, but don’t bully me too much!”

Ye Zhizhi didn't know that the way she was yelling while protecting Sizhu behind her, in Sizhu's eyes, looked like an old bitch protecting her pups at the entrance to the village.

She is using her own way and attitude to protect Si Zhu who is only five years old.

Waves surged in Si Zhu's clear eyes, and his heartbeat accelerated.

The little hand held by Ye Zhizhi trembled uneasily. This was the first time that when he was accused by thousands of people, when he was spread rumors and slanders, when he was knocked on the door of his house, scolded and bullied, his stepmother unconditionally rushed forward to defend him.

He lowered his head with red eyes and couldn't help but breathe in aggrievedness.

Mrs. Ma was speechless for a moment, and it took her a while to react. She pointed angrily at Ye Zhizhi's face and said, "My money is lost! 30 taels! It's all gone!"

Ye Zhizhi chuckled and said, "If your money is lost, it's because you were not responsible for your care. It's none of my son's business!"

"Why is it none of your son's business!"

Mrs. Ma was furious and anxious, "That money has been weighing on my daughter-in-law's bed! After digging the sweet potatoes tonight, my grandson asked your son to come to our house to play. After he came to my house, my daughter-in-law discovered that the money was gone. !

Only your son and my grandson have entered that house. If it wasn't your son who stole the money, who else could it be?No one in this village knows that the five oil bottles you brought are all dirty. Why, you still want to defend him? ! "

Ye Zhizhi finally understood after hearing this. This was the plot in the original book where Sun Cuihua slandered Si Zhu for stealing money.

I just don’t know why, but it was Sun Cuihua who should come to fight, but now the main force became Mrs. Ma, while Sun Cuihua only stood aside.

Little did Ye Zhizhi know that Sun Cuihua was frightened by her previous shrewish behavior.

She felt that it was not wise to go behind Ye Zhizhi's back to cause trouble for children, and she was also somewhat ungrateful. She was afraid of being slapped by Ye Zhizhi, so she even advised her mother-in-law to talk to Ye Zhizhi later.

Who knew her mother-in-law could be so restless!

At this moment, looking at Ye Zhizhi, he trembled and said,

"It happened for a reason. Your son has seven hundred coins in his pocket. He is a child. How did he get so much money? Please be reasonable. I didn't do anything. You can't hit me!"

"You gave me this silver."

Si Zhu stood behind Ye Zhizhi and explained.

Last time when he sent Dazhu to study, Ye Zhizhi gave a couple of taels to each of the boys.

They bought a suit of clothes, and each of them had seven hundred coins left.

Except for Yaya, who brought [-] yuan to treat her to buy new clothes, the other boys all saved their money.

Especially for Si Zhu, he was afraid of being stolen, so he put seven hundred coins through a rope and hung it around his neck.

Unexpectedly, it became evidence for the other party to suspect Erzhu.

Ye Zhizhi took a deep breath and said, "Let your son come out and confront you! It's impossible for my son to steal money! It's even more impossible for my son to be interested in your poor money!"

"Just brag! Who are you bragging with?"

Old Mrs. Ma banged her head against the wall angrily, "Repay those two pieces of money! I don't know if your four pillars will ever see so much money until the day they die!"

Xu Lanlan, who was crowding around to watch the excitement, said, "I still remember, Zhizhi, you used to tell people when you met that your sons stole the family's corn and silver, especially Si Zhu and Wu Ya. It shows that they , they all have criminal records! It’s normal for their hands and feet to be dirty!”

"Actually, if you ask me, Wuya is just fine. I have long felt that Sizhu's kid has dirty hands and feet. Last time he came to my house, I lost an egg! It's just that I have no evidence, so I can't say anything, but now Isn’t the evidence coming? Isn’t this just a habitual thief?”

"Look at him, he looks like a wolf cub, his eyes are glowing green, and he is full of bad things!"

"Oh my god, how could such a disgusting thing appear in our Sweetwater Village? It's too dangerous and terrifying!"

"This has not been confirmed yet, please calm down first!"

"Calm down, why are you calm? Our children are going to be spoiled!"

"..."

Baskets of unpleasant words were thrown at Si Zhu.

It seemed that in an instant, through only one unconfirmed and distorted fact, everyone could clearly see the ugly and sneaky heart of this five-year-old child.

Si Zhu was surrounded by a huge panic. He struggled in panic and explained,

"I really didn't! I didn't steal money!"

He is young, but he understands what it means to be labeled a thief - he can no longer hold his head high and stand tall in this world!

The crowd mocked and scorned, "Look, you are full of lies at such a young age, and you are still talking hard when you are about to die!"

"Okay, what's the matter with the Ye family and the Ma family? Why are there so many people buzzing around here? Let's get out of here!"

Li Zheng was called by Aunt Xu, who winked at Ye Zhizhi, "Close the door. You two go to the yard and talk to me. What should the others do? Let me know who is barricading the door and listening and talking nonsense. Don't Blame it on me for slapping you!"

"I won't go in."

"Why should I go in and say it?"

Ye Zhizhi was really going to be pissed to death by Mrs. Ma, Xu Lanlan and the others.

Aunt Xu went to take Ye Zhizhi's hand and whispered, "Zhizhi, don't be angry. Mrs. Ma is difficult to deal with, and Sizhu did go to someone else's house. It's not good to leave this matter alone, as it will have an impact on the child's reputation. It must be It has to be resolved privately, even if the money is paid, we can’t let them go out and accuse Si Zhu of stealing money!”

"I won't solve it privately! Auntie, Li Zheng, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I just want to make this matter clear in front of everyone today! How did it become so unfounded? Did my son steal something?"

Ye Zhizhi took a deep breath and said, "Today she can say that my son stole money, tomorrow her chickens are lost, and the day after tomorrow her whole family is suddenly killed. Does she still have to say that I stole it and I killed it?"

Don't say that she doesn't understand the ways of the world. Things that can be said behind closed doors must be said with an open door.

In fact, in the original book, Si Zhu became the most disliked child in the entire village because he was accused of stealing money.

The former friends gradually distanced themselves from Si Zhu under the guidance of their parents. They made up one limerick after another for him, laughing at him and saying that he was a thief whose father was dead.

The child's self-esteem was trampled into the mire.

He explained, he begged, he hoped those bad and vicious curses would stop temporarily, believe him, he really didn't steal money.

However, no one wanted to get to know him deeper.

He became withdrawn and taciturn.

Become afraid of outsiders and even look at them without meaning.

As spring passed and autumn came, 12-year-old Si Zhu ran to the dock in the town to move goods for others.

But because he ate less but worked more and was appreciated by his superiors, he became a thorn in the side of others.

Everyone revealed that he was a thief, and for a while there was a commotion at the dock. He was driven back to the countryside. Perhaps out of a revengeful mentality, he really started to commit crimes!

Rumors kill!Harsh words hurt people!

Ye Zhizhi doesn't understand why the most comfortable people in this world are all these ignorant, stupid, and vicious wallflowers!
