Chapter 8 Plums

"I, I asked her to go out to buy things." The woman was a little annoyed.

"What do you want to buy for Madam? Is there too much money to buy so much? Isn't Qiaojie unable to move?"

The laughter was even louder around.

The woman became more and more angry: "What do you care about these things, I naturally have something to buy. Now I have said that I gave this silver to Qiaojie. The old man said it was his silver, but there is evidence or witness?"

There was no one around who spoke, evidence or witness, and there was really no one. Even if things seemed to be able to guess the reason, no one was willing to stand up for the old man.

"You are in the same world, colluding with each other, colluding with each other..." The old man jumped up in anger and said a lot of words in one breath. Unfortunately, these literary scoldings had no effect on the people around him.

"You sir, don't be in a hurry." Jiang Ruan said.

The old man turned to Jiang Ruan, frowned, and said in a stiff tone: "I don't want to implicate the girls. These people are covering up their evidence of their crimes. I will fight them to the end. The girl is taking action today, and I am grateful. But now you are also a clay Buddha crossing the river, so it's better to protect yourself." When he said the word "girl", the old man hesitated. It's strange to call such a little girl who can be his granddaughter, but when facing this little girl, he feels like facing an adult woman and he really cannot treat her as an ordinary girl.

"You old man is so ungrateful. My girl saves you, but you don't know how to be polite." Lian Qiao immediately said angrily when she heard this.

"Liang Forsythia," Jiang Ruan stopped her and said, "The old man believes that I can't protect myself?"

"Do you have any other way?" The old man raised his voice, and the eyes of the people around him were attracted by him again.

"Old sir, let me first talk about how the money was lost." Jiang Ruan said.

"I didn't steal his silver, I didn't steal his silver!" The girl screamed and cried.

"Shut up." Jiang Ruan looked at Qiao Jie'er in the woman's arms coldly. Qiao Jie'er was unconsciously scared by her cold eyes. She immediately stopped talking and shrank into the woman's arms.

Everyone was amazed. Seeing this, the old man thought for a while and thought about it, "I first came here today. I bought an oil cake at the place where I bought cakes at the street corner and grabbed a copper plate from my purse. After walking for a while, I felt someone touching my thing, but when I saw that it was a little girl walking beside me, I was alert and went to see my purse. I found that the silver disappeared, so I grabbed her and found that it was really found the silver on her body. Who knew that she had turned around and made a move, which was really annoying!" After that, she glared at the girl who was waiting for tears on her face.

"Where is the vendor who buys oil cakes?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"It's me." A middle-aged man with dark skin walked out, scratched his head, and said with a little dodging: "There are too many people buying cakes, I can't remember it." The people on the West Street are deserted, and this is clearly perfunctory.

Seeing this, the little girl and the woman looked at Jiang Ruan gloatly, feeling that Jiang Ruan could no longer come up with any tricks.

"Since both of them have their own opinions," Jiang Ruan said softly: "Let Yinzi speak."

Yinzi speaks? How can Yinzi speak? This was interesting. The crowd looked at Jiang Ruan one after another. The old man who was so angry that he jumped his feet turned his head and looked at Jiang Ruan in confusion. Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao looked at each other, not knowing what Jiang Ruan was going to do.

The woman almost laughed out loud and said sarcastically: "Little girl, are you talking nonsense? Can you still let Yinzi speak? If you really have such ability, you can open your eyes quickly. If you talk nonsense, don't let everyone laugh."

"Yinzi can speak naturally." Jiang Ruan said lightly: "I'll ask again, this lady, is Yinzi really yours?"

"Of course I gave it to Qiaojie." The woman raised her head and said with confidence.

"Okay." Jiang Ruan said: "Bai Zhi, go find a basin of clear water."

People around him didn't know what Jiang Ruan was thinking. A roadside vendor said, "I have ready-made clear water here, so I can borrow it for a girl."

Bai Zhi then brought the basin of clear water and placed it upright at Jiang Ruan's feet.

"Madam, please give me the money."

The woman glanced at Jiang Ruan suspiciously, and the girl held her wallet tighter.

"Why should I ask the silver if my wife doesn't give it to me?" Jiang Ruan said seriously.

As soon as these words were said, a low burst of laughter came from around him. More and more people were watching the fun. At this moment, seeing this little girl with a good temperament suddenly spoke like this, I couldn't help but feel regretful. She looked like a smart girl, but she didn't expect that she had some problems with her brain.

Lian Qiao glared at the crowd around her or the laughter of the crowd gave the woman confidence, so she took out the silver from the girl and handed it to Jiang Ruan: "No, you have to ask clearly, where are everyone listening."

Among the people present, there were only three people who did not laugh. Needless to say, Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi were the ones who just frowned tightly and looked at Jiang Ruan's actions carefully.

Jiang Ruan held the silver in her palm, with no expression on her face, but her voice was extremely gentle. She said, "Yinzi, silver, please tell me who is lying?"

The woman burst out laughing: "Little girl, don't tell you like that. You're just fooling people, don't treat us as fools!"

Jiang Ruan didn't even look at her. As soon as she let go, the silver in her hand fell into the basin under her feet with a thud, and the waves rippled out a little. She said, "Yinzi has already spoken."

"What do you say?" The woman was already a little impatient: "Why are you the only one who hears it talking with so many ears?"

"It's not what I heard, it's what I saw." Jiang Ruan stared at the water.

A curious teenager in the crowd stretched his neck and said, "Has it spoke?"

"No?" Jiang Ruan asked back. Her thin body was wrapped in a wide cotton jacket. She was originally weak, but she seemed extremely firm. It seemed that there was nothing big in the world, and she could shake her calmness and calmness a little.

The people around him didn't understand the reason, so they looked into the basin, but couldn't see the reason.

After a moment, one of the people was the first to exclaim: "Look! There is something on the water!"

I saw a layer of light oil floating on the clear water surface, and the golden oil was extremely conspicuous on the water surface.

Jiang Ruan said: "After eating the oil cake, I went to grab the copper coins. It was common for the old man to grab the oil on his hands to get the silver. I just don't know how the wife rubbed the oil on the silver. Could it be that the wife would only remember now that she or Qiaojie also went to buy the oil cake?"
