To a certain extent, everyone in this world is egoistic.

Just like the farce that was happening in the Unity Brigade, at first everyone regarded it as a show of excitement. The shameless grandpa snatched his grandson-in-law's house, and there were various opinions on this matter.

Some people said that Old Xia Tou was shameless, and others said that Xia Ye and Qi Yunjing had gone to live in the town, and the grandfather moved over to show the house, which was considered a kind gesture. Besides, what if they broke up with each other? After all, Old Xia Tou was Xia Ye's grandfather, the relationship between flesh and blood is here. Wang Laosan's wife is just a good person in vain. In the end, she is not a human being inside and outside. Look at Qi Yunshan, the eldest brother and uncle, and he hasn't said anything yet.

But when Wang Lao's third daughter-in-law was bitten to death and Lao Xia Tou came to steal things, almost everyone stood on the same front.

You know, Xia Yumin of the Xia family was arrested, and his daughter-in-law Liu Cui also returned to her natal family to marry another woman. There were only two elders and one child left in the old Xia family, and they couldn't earn any points for their work. Xia Jinbao.

During the food distribution last year, the amount of food they received in exchange for work points was pitiful. It would be strange to be able to eat it. Although the brigade would also distribute relief food to eat, it was still pitiful. If not enough, people would steal food or other things. Things come up.

From this point of view, what Wang Laosan's wife said really has a lot of credibility.

What would you do if one day something was stolen from your own home?

For a moment, everyone looked at Old Xia Tou with something wrong.

"But this old Xia Tou came here with a quilt in his arms. He can't steal things and still carry the quilt, right?"

"Are you stupid? This is just a cover-up. If someone catches you, just say that you want to move in and look at the house. If you don't get caught, just wrap the stolen items in a quilt and no one will know what's inside! "

There is always a clever person who rationalizes all suspicious behaviors after confirming a fact. In this way, even the doubtful people believe the fact that Lao Xia Tou stole things.

"The third daughter-in-law is right. If she can sneak into Yunjing and Xia Ye's house today, she might sneak into someone else's house next time. Who can work safely in the village with such a person?

In this busy time of spring, who can still worry about the house all day long? If you don’t work, you won’t earn work points? "

Wang Laosan's third daughter-in-law had single-handedly succeeded in making Old Xia Tou the public enemy of the whole village. She was noisily discussing how to deal with Old Xia Tou when she saw Mrs. Xia who had just squeezed out of the crowd to go home, returning. .

When she ran to the crowd here, Mrs. Xia started to cry and howl.

"Old man, Jinbao is missing, the child is missing, please help me, my Jinbao is missing..."

Old Xia Touquan thought this was a way his wife had come up with to save him. With an anxious expression on his face, he didn't forget to hug the quilt when he got up.

"Let's go home and find Jinbao."

After taking a few steps, Lao Xia Tou praised Mrs. Xia in a voice that the two of them could hear.

"Why don't you be smart and find a way to get me out? This wife of Wang Laosan is just a dog trying to interfere with a mouse, meddling in other people's business. When I find a chance later, I have to teach them both a lesson!"

Old Xia Tou was still cursing nonstop, but suddenly he was slapped on the face by Mrs. Xia.

"Are you crazy? Hit me!"

"Why are you beating me? My grandson is lost, lost! Are you still here babbling? All day long, your thoughts are not in the right place, just planning those useless things.

If my grandson cannot be found, there will be some shortcomings, and neither of us will have to live! "

At this time, Old Man Xia's head exploded with a bang. He was selfish, but he also really cared about his grandson.

"When did you find out that Jin Bao was missing?"

"Just now, I didn't see Jin Bao when I went back."

Old Man Xia also realized it later. When he went home to get the quilt, he saw no one. After all, the child had been missing for some time.

Seeing Mrs. Xia crying like this, the people who were originally acting stupidly believed that Xia Jinbao was really lost.

Compared with later generations, people who lived in the same unit and on the same floor would not even say hello when meeting each other. People at this time were really united.

Living in a village, no matter who has a big or small affair, I will definitely lend a hand to anyone who can help.

Not to mention such a big deal that the child couldn't be found. For a while, everyone stopped worrying about Old Xia's stealing things. Even if they dealt with it, they would wait until the child was found.

"Don't worry, my second son usually plays with Jinbao. I'll ask him if he saw Jinbao today."

Among the people watching the excitement, a person about the same age as Mrs. Xia stood up and walked towards his home.

Her home is not far from here, so instead of looking around, she might as well ask these children.

Not long after, the woman who had just come home and asked ran over holding a boy in her hand.

"It's not good for the Xia family. My second son said that your Jinbao went to find his mother. When he left, he took a small baggage, which happened to happen to my second son!"

When Mrs. Xia heard this, her whole body flashed. Did her Jinbao go to Liu Cui? Subconsciously, I wanted to run to the path on the mountain side, which was the closest to Liu Cui's parents' home.

"Wait a minute, why are you running away? Liu Cui is already married, where are you going to look for him? Er Zaizi said Jin Bao went to the entrance of the village!"

Qi Yunshan understood the whole process and immediately spoke.

"You few follow me and go find the children. The rest of you go back to work. Don't delay the spring planting. Move quickly."

Qi Yunshan's words were very forceful. As soon as they heard this, everyone started to go back to work consciously. There was only one road out of the village, so it was useless to follow them.

Young guys have fast legs, and even if they follow, they never seem to be able to keep up.

Qi Yunshan took a few young men and ran straight to the entrance of the village. Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were bound to be unable to keep up, but they followed at a distance.

Qi Yunshan ran with the people for almost half an hour, and they actually saw Liu Cui leading Xia Jinbao. There was a man with them, holding Xia Jinbao's other hand.

After all, she was the child's biological mother, so she couldn't be said to have stolen the child, so Qi Yunshan and the others still didn't take action. The child belonged to their brigade and had to be taken back.

Liu Cui was obviously unwilling to hand over Xia Jinbao.

"Liu Cui, you have remarried and are no longer a member of our unity team. Even if you want a child, you have to tell Jinbao's grandparents in advance. How can you take the child away secretly?"

"I am the child's mother, why can't I take the child away?

Jinbao, tell me, do you want to live a good life with your mother? "
