Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

The things Chen Jinniu did were so unflattering that they couldn't be shown in front of everyone. This was also the reason why Yao Shu was able to silence the other party.

After being forced into panic, Chen Jinniu only knew how to speak cruelly.

"You check, I want to see what you can find out. Isn't this just the lice on the monk's head? It's obvious that you are not good at your craftsmanship."

His tone became much weaker midway through his words. Looking at his posture, he seemed to feel guilty.

After seeing that he shut up and stopped talking nonsense, Yao Shu didn't waste any more words with him. If she had the time, Yao Shu might as well go find clues to find out the truth as soon as possible.

If she had known that something like this would go wrong, she would have followed him to Chenjiacun. Having more people watching might have prevented this from happening.

"Village Chief, do you still remember where it collapsed in the first place?"

The house in front of her was already in ruins. Even if she wanted to investigate, she couldn't find it. She could only ask carefully to sort out the clues, so as not to be like a headless fly.

The village chief looked confused and shook his head subconsciously. The situation was too critical and his mind went blank.

"Everyone think about it carefully."

Yao Shu has not given up yet. With so many people present, it is not impossible to find no clues.

Everyone lowered their heads and thought hard. After a while, someone finally spoke.

"I remembered that the collapse started in the lobby first. As soon as the third child ran out of the lobby, he heard a bang."

"Yes! It's the lobby."

"It was Lin Laojiu who first noticed Mr. Liang wandering around and told everyone about it, so we had time to run out..."

In their constant recollection, they finally found some clues. Yao Shu frowned and thought, the beam should be the least likely to have problems. No matter how careless they were in their work, they would not neglect such an important matter.

But here's the problem.

Looking at the ruins in front of her, Yao Shu sighed in her heart. No wonder the house collapsed so completely. Problems with the beams would naturally cause the entire house to collapse.

"Go and remove all the things piled on the beams. Let's see what's wrong with the beams."

She had to find out clearly. After someone pointed out the direction, everyone in Dahe Village immediately got busy.

Just as they were tearing away the rubble, someone ran out to stop them. Chen Jinniu rushed out and stood in front of everyone, stretching out his arms and waving to prevent anyone from taking a step forward.

The people of Dahezhuang Village were forced to stop, fearing that someone would be hurt if they made a mistake. The situation was already very unfavorable to them. If something went wrong again, they would really have no chance of leaving Chenjia Village.

"Why are you stopping us?"

The village chief was puzzled by Chen Jinniu's behavior.

"You are not allowed to touch my house anymore. I finally understand. You people are so uneasy and kind-hearted that you may break all my good beams."

Chen Jinniu frowned and said.

Faced with such people who refused to cooperate, the village chief was really helpless. He really didn't know how to deal with these ruffians.

"How can we know how this house collapsed if we are not allowed to inspect it."

"I don't care. Anyway, it was your failure to do it well that caused the good house to collapse. I won't waste time with you nonsense. As long as you lose the money, you can do whatever you like."

Chen Jinniu didn't listen to anything he said, and just shouted that he wanted to lose money.

When encountering such an unreasonable person, she really couldn't explain it clearly, but Yao Shu didn't want to continue arguing with him. This was just a waste of time.

With Chen Jinniu's refusal to cooperate, she couldn't tell whether it was because of the previous grievances between the two, the other party was deliberately making things difficult, or whether there was another hidden reason behind the collapse of the house.

She looked at Chen Jinniu, and her tone of voice was cold.

"If we don't investigate clearly, how can we conclude that our people made a mistake? How can we lose money before we find out the reason? If this is the case, then if I say you stole ten taels of silver from me, then are you? Should you return the money to me?"

"How can this be the same?"

Chen Jinniu shouted angrily.

As if Yao Shu could really take away his ten taels of silver, her reaction was very exciting.

"Why is it different? If you keep stopping us from investigating, then I will doubt whether there is a fraud here. Chen Lichang, do you think this is true?"

Yao Shu stopped looking at Chen Jinniu, who had been jumping around, and her eyes fell on Chen Lichang. As the patriarch of the Chen family, he could not just watch the show and let his clan members do whatever they wanted.

"Taurus, come here and stay here."

Chen Lichang made his choice directly without even the slightest hesitation.

He had been observing from the side and knew that Yao Shu was not an easy person to deal with. The request made by the other party was not excessive. If he did not agree, there would be no way to solve the matter today.

Ever since Chen Jinbao was sent to the Yamen for stealing, the reputation of the Chen family has been affected a lot. He doesn't want to hear any more bad rumors about the Chen family.

This time, they were the ones taking advantage of the situation, and they didn't get the favor in the end.

As soon as Chen Lichang opened his mouth, Chen Jinniu immediately became honest. He lowered his head and looked a little panicked.

As the patriarch of the Chen family, Chief Chen still had some impressions of Chen Jinniu. Seeing this abnormal behavior, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Isn't this your fault?"

"No, this has nothing to do with me. Why can't I live with my own house?"

Chen Jinniu smiled coquettishly.

"There is no best. If you really did something, please tell me immediately. Don't make the whole clan lose face in the end."

"Hey, that's good."

Seeing him agree, Chief Chen finally felt relieved. Presumably, he would not collapse his house.

Yao Shu didn't pay attention to their little actions. She was concentrating on leading the people of Dahezhuang Village to investigate the truth. As the ruins were pulled apart, the collapsed beams appeared in front of them.

A whole beam had been broken into two pieces, so it was no wonder that the house collapsed.

Even a layman like Yao Shu knew that the beams would not break easily. The most likely problem was the beams themselves. She turned around and said to the Chen family.

"Chang Li, please come and see whose fault it is that the beams are not strong."

Chen Lichang subconsciously looked at Chen Jinniu and saw that his eyes were averting. He didn't understand anything. It was obvious that this kid didn't tell the truth just now. He was really irritating.

But in front of outsiders, he had to save the face of the entire clan.

"Mrs. Shen, there are many reasons why this beam broke. No one wants this to happen."
