Chapter 33: Blackmail
"Ha!" Murong Yue snorted coldly, she was really greedy.
"Are you sure it's Shiliang?" Murong Yue asked them again.
"Your grandma said it was ten taels, Yue Yatou, please stop asking." Murong Qi frowned impatiently, why is this damn girl so verbose, why can't she just give her the money?
"Grandpa Village Chief, you heard it too, they said those things are worth ten taels." Murong Yue looked at the village chief with a smile and said.
Then he turned around and said to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone has also remembered it."
"Hmm. A solid hairpin does cost a few taels of silver, a bracelet is about the same, plus an inkstone, ten taels is indeed needed." The village chief nodded and calculated carefully.
"Well, what the village chief said is indeed true. My mother's previous dowry included a solid hairpin, which was worth five taels of silver!"
"I'll go, Li Daniu can do it! Hide it so deeply!"
"It's just that we are so good and have such a good family background, but we don't say a word!"
The man named Li Daniu had an honest appearance, and when he heard others talking about him, he just kept laughing.
"That's my mother's, not mine."
The people around her said everything, but Murong Yue ignored them.
"Then I want to ask one more question." Murong Yue looked at Murong Fu and the others.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly, Luo Li is so annoying." Ms. Zhao glared at her impatiently.
Murong Yue was clueless and looked at them and said calmly: "Grandpa, grandma, third uncle and three aunt, are you sure you only lost the hairpin bracelet and the inkstone?"
Yao became suspicious after hearing Murong Yue ask again and again, and just wanted to make an excuse to go and see if anything was missing in the house.
But he was overtaken by Murong Fu's impatient words.
"Yes, that's all. Take out the money quickly and stop talking nonsense. If you delay any more, it will be dinner time."
"Oh, okay! Take the money now." Murong Yue finished.
In the expectant eyes of Murong Fu and others, he reached out to grab the money bag fastened to his waist.
Suddenly something occurred to him, he stopped what he was doing, looked at Murong Hao and asked: "Brother, my money bag is more than ten taels, what should I do if they rob me later?"
How could Murong Hao still not understand what Murong Yue was doing at this time?
He immediately looked at her with a smile and said, "The village chief is here, so don't be afraid."
Murong Yue nodded "Yeah" after hearing this.
Everyone was stunned by her words.
It's more than ten taels, so there might be twenty taels or more?
Mrs. Zhao and others looked at the bulging bag on her waist, thinking that there were many.
"No, my gold earrings are also missing. You must have stolen them too." Zhao had a flash of inspiration and immediately shouted loudly.
Murong Yue, who was about to withdraw the money, stopped what she was doing when she yelled, and a sarcastic smile flashed in her eyes.
"The new brushes and paper I bought are also missing, and several new books are also missing."
"My gold hairpin is also missing." Yao saw the bag on Murong Yue's waist, which probably contained a hundred and eighty taels.
If you don't open your mouth at this time, your mother-in-law will take over.
"Shut up." The village chief on the side listened to their increasingly outrageous words. How could he still not understand that this family was trying to trick the Murong Hao brothers and sisters?
"Murong Fu, tell me honestly, have Murong Hao and his brothers stolen anything from your family to sell?" The village chief gritted his teeth in anger and asked Murong Fu who had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking.
When Murong Fu heard the village chief calling him by name, he knew that the village chief was really angry.
At first, the village chief really thought that Murong Hao and the others took some things from Murong Fu's family because they couldn't eat. But after all, they were one family, so how could there be any sense in talking about two families?
When Murong Yue asked and then asked Murong Fu and others, Murong Fu and Zhao also kept saying that what they stole was a bracelet, hairpin, and inkstone.
Who would have thought that when Murong Yue said it was more than ten taels, the whole family immediately lost their minds and kept saying that they had lost this and that?
He, the dignified head of a village, is being treated like a monkey, how can he not get angry?
"Village Chief, even if they stole my things, it's useless to ask the boss. They have to hand over the money today." Ms. Zhao would not let go even if she bit her to death. Today, that bitch Murong Yue must give up the money on her waist.
Just hand over all the money.
"Ms. Zhao, shut up. If you open your mouth again, I will ask your family to move out of Qingquan Village." The village chief was so angry that he wanted to slap this unreasonable woman to death.
After contradicting him as the village chief more than once or twice, Zhao did not regard him as the village chief at all.
