Chapter 42: Lie

  That night Li Dazhuang and his friends had drunk three rounds of wine, and their conversation became more lively.

  Er Bao's mother had prepared wine and dishes, which were now on the table. They were listening to these four big men boasting about their own abilities and how much Master Money valued them.

  The two fat girls heard this and sneered in their hearts. They thought, "You're just bragging, but have you ever brought back any money to the family? If you were capable, why would you still be stuck in this mountain village? The wealthy master would look down on you, so why not go to his house and do some chores for him? Instead, you're wandering around aimlessly every day, corrupting her man, and your heart is also filled with unrealistic ambitions.

  Er Bao's daughter usually can't stand people like this, but she just silently scolds them in her heart. Although she looks down on them, she doesn't show it on her face. She still smiles and helps them pour wine while saying:

  "I heard that Liu Jian's family has raised several hundred lively rabbits in the backyard on the mountain, he is indeed a capable person, don't you think?"

  This thing had been circulating for several months, and there were many people in the village who were jealous and resentful, including several men from this group, especially Li Dazhuang. As soon as Li Dazhuang heard it, he felt that something was not right.

  Today Er Pang's wife is openly praising Liu Jian, but in reality, isn't she secretly scolding him?

  He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he was quick-witted and with a turn of his eyes, he put down his wine cup and let out a deep sigh. Today, he had to vent his grievances, as he hadn't been able to avoid being blamed for driving away those two young ones recently.

  Li Dazhuang's expression was full of grievances, as if he had been wronged, and he turned to face her, saying:

  "Second Fatty Niang, you have no idea, they thought it was me and her sister-in-law who drove them out?"

  The people next to him couldn't help but curl their lips, and the few who came with him to drink also did the same, they really looked down on Li Dazhuang's behavior.

  That day, Erni and Mutian were driven out, but many people gathered to watch. Erni and her brother quarreled endlessly, causing a huge commotion in the whole village. It was fortunate that Li Dazhuang reversed the black and white.

  But they won't mention it either, what's the point of mentioning it to them, and also with Li Dazhuang who usually works together every day, they all lower their heads when they see each other. If they want to talk about it, they won't be stupid enough to say it in front of this person, that's just asking for trouble, what's the point?

  A few people just laughed and let him go, not taking it seriously.

  Li Dazhuang looked at the curious eyes of several people on the table, slammed his hand on the dinner table, scaring Er Bao who was eating meat and almost choked. Li Dazhuang also didn't see Er Bao's mother helping her son pat his back while casting a blaming glance.

  Li Dazhuang slammed the table and said loudly: "Erni and Mutian are actually in cahoots with Zhi Xiao's family, it's just a play they put on for you all..."

  "That day, it was just these two kids who made a mistake and refused to repent. My brother's wife and I scolded them and chased them out. Who would have thought that this family of sly and cunning people would take advantage of us and move in with us? They didn't leave the mountain after that. Later, I discovered that all the money and jewelry left behind by their mother had disappeared. With so many things gone missing, it's worth a lot of money! It was all taken advantage of by Liu Jian's family. You guys tell me, isn't this infuriating? Our reputation as a couple has been ruined because of this. We can tolerate being ruined, but what really gets our blood boiling is that this family not only took advantage of us but also slandered my brother and his wife! You brothers and sisters-in-law, speak up, isn't this infuriating?"

  He said a few words that turned black and white upside down, and he said them so sincerely, acting so realistically, that the several people at the table were stunned.

  Liu Erpang's wife recalled that, in the past, Erni also often looked at Zhi Xiao's house and walked away. Lian Niang was also very friendly to her, but today, after hearing this, she didn't have 100% confidence, only about 70 or 80%.

  Several people at the table firmly believed this and it's no wonder that Liu Jian's family suddenly had money, which can explain everything.

  After dinner, Li Dazhuang walked back and forth, shaking his body and swinging his head like a carefree person. He didn't care as long as he could add some trouble to Liu Jian's family. Besides, this way, he also washed away the unfavorable reputation of the couple for a while, haha...

  Li Dazhuang walked home with a smile all the way.

  That night several people sat around the table for a meal, and it's no wonder that the rumor would be spread in what way the next day.

  A few days later, the whole village knew about it, and after being passed from mouth to mouth by many people, with added flavorings, there were already several versions of it.

  One of them is the ordinary version. The two sisters were deceived by Liu Jian's family and lived with them, bringing the money left by their mother.

  Another one is the classic version.

  The classic version of the person is telling the story to the next-door Liu old couple, who don't even know about the ordinary version.
