Chapter 25 Mrs. Tan became a drowned rat
Mrs. Tan spat hard and cut off Mrs. Sun's words: "If you are not that kind of person, what kind of person are you? My mother-in-law fell on her heels and didn't even help her. Poisonous woman, how good can your mind be? Go? Damn, I’m going to act like my son. I won’t let you do that!” Chest, but couldn't say a word.
Here, Yang Ruoqing had just walked to the door of the house when she heard the torture behind her.
Rolling her eyes, she was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She even suspected that she was the roundworm in Tan's belly. How could she guess so accurately?
At the door of the kitchen, Mrs. Tan saw Yang Ruoqing's back and thought that the fat girl was guilty of stealing something. With a cold look, she shouted at Yang Ruoqing's strong back and waist: "Fat girl, don't even think about hiding in the house. Stop! "
Yang Ruoqing turned around, and Mrs. Tan had already come to her with her little splayed feet. Her eyebrows were raised: "Fat girl, tell me the truth. What good things did your mother get for you in the morning? Have you eaten? If you dare not tell the truth, I will peel off your skin, lock you in a small dark room, and put yellow leather in there to chew on your toes!”
“With you like this! What do you mean by always scaring children like this?"
Old Yangtou's voice suddenly sounded from the courtyard gate. He was wearing a straw hat that farmers used to protect themselves from the sun. He was wearing a pair of straw sandals on his bare feet, with his trousers rolled up to his knees and his calves. It's all mud.
Tan turned around and glanced at Old Yang, and said angrily: "It's half day, if you're not harvesting rice with them in the fields, why are you running home?"
< br>
"The boss is not reliable at what he does. I asked him to prepare some extra straw and ropes to tie up the ears of rice last night. There is a big piece missing. I will come back and get another bundle! Don't mess around with this, hurry up and go to the back. Find something for me."
"Wait a minute, I have to take care of this first! It's hard to guard against thieves. If you dare to steal food while I'm not at home, it's a big deal!"
After saying that, Mrs. Tan ignored the frowning old Yang, and then threatened Yang Ruoqing: "Say it quickly, you! "What did mother give you?"
Yang Ruoqing looked at Tan's fierce look and felt it was funny.
She pursed her lips, but looked like she was frightened. She shrank to the side, but raised her hand and pointed tremblingly toward her room.
"Mother...given it..."
Mother gave it to me?
Tan's eyes suddenly lit up. Fortunately, he came back in time and the dirt had not been destroyed.
He turned around and glared at Lao Yangtou proudly. He raised his hand and pushed Yang Ruoqing aside who was blocking the door, and entered the west wing in a flash.
In the west wing room, there was no food or bowls and chopsticks. All the bedding on the bed was taken to the yard to dry. Except for the huge bathtub and a large basin of muddy water on the ground in the middle of the room, there was nothing else in the room. But there wasn't even a place to hide anything.
Mrs. Tan glanced around the four corners of the room at a glance, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.
"Fat Ya, where is the thing?" Tan grabbed an arm of Yang Ruoqing who was following the house and asked with eyes wide open.
Yang Ruoqing was no longer afraid at this time. She leaned forward and used her other hand to swipe the bath water in the basin with relish. When she heard Tan asked, she chuckled: "Take a bath... the fragrance... ...Huh..."
Crash... Tan felt that it suddenly started raining in front of her eyes. Before she could react, she was hit with a chill.
She screamed strangely, let go of Yang Ruoqing's arm, and took two steps back.
Yang Ruoqing, however, became more playful. She squatted down by the basin, raised up a whole handful of bath water with both hands, and splashed it out. She was grinning so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes, and there were still some words in her mouth. After letting out a vague laugh: "Milk... take a bath... huh..."
In the end, it was Lao Yang who rushed in and dragged Mr. Tan out of the house like a drowned rat. Yang Ruoqing also Mrs. Sun, who came to her senses over there, was taken out of the yard and protected behind her.
Ms. Sun explained tremblingly: "Mom, there was smoke in the chimney at home yesterday, and I was boiling bath water for Qing'er. I looked at the warm sun today, and the child was feeling better again. I haven't had a big bath in a day..."
Hearing Sun's explanation, Old Yangtou immediately understood what was going on, and his face suddenly turned black.
"Why have you been messing around for most of the day? You get suspicious when the child takes a bath! And you make yourself look so sloppy, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, are you trying to ransack your home?" Old Yang was rightly angry. The Tan family was scolded.
Ms. Tan was feeling depressed, but she couldn't find a reason to vent her anger. She even had bath water poured all over her head and body by her idiot granddaughter. Now, the head of the family, Lao Yangtou, is pointing at his nose and scolding him, and his face is burning.
She turned her face away, not looking at the expression on Old Yangtou's face, gritting her teeth and glaring at Yang Ruoqing who was being protected by Mrs. Sun behind her.
Yang Ruoqing poked her head out from behind Mrs. Sun, made faces at Mrs. Tan, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and made Mrs. Tan so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
“What are you still doing here? Follow me to the backyard hut to twist ropes while the fields are rushing to use them!”
Old Yangtou picked up Mr. Tan and walked towards the back. The house structure of Old Yang's house was actually a small courtyard with three entrances. The people in the big house and the second house lived in the front yard. In the middle yard lived Lao Yangtou and his wife. The fifth Yang Huazhou, the sixth Yang Huamei, and the people in the third and fourth bedrooms.
The kitchen and dining hall are also located in this courtyard. There is a similar small courtyard behind this courtyard. In that small courtyard, three wing rooms are built on the east side for storing sundries. Then there are pig pens, chicken coops, cowsheds, toilets, etc., and a few open spaces, all chopped into small and flat vegetable plots.
While Mrs. Tan was being dragged away by Old Yangtou, she couldn't help but turn around and look suspiciously at the back of Yang Ruoqing, who was being led into the west wing by Mrs. Sun.
"What else are you looking at?" Old Yangtou said dissatisfied.
"Hey, Dad Mei'er, have you noticed that Fat Ya has looked a little different since she woke up yesterday!" Mrs. Tan said with a puzzled look.
Old Yangtou had already sat down on the ground at the door of the house. He took a bunch of straw and put one end firmly under the soles of his feet. He spat into his hand and divided the straw evenly into three strands with both hands. He twisted it into a rope, raised his eyelids, glanced at Mrs. Tan, and asked : "What's the difference? You're not as crazy and ignorant as before!"
"That fat girl before was also crazy, but she didn't dare to go against me!" Ms. Tan shouted dissatisfied, In the past, as long as I glanced at him, Fatty would be scared to tears!
But in the past two days, I have been teased by her many times. The mud on my face last night, the pricked hand this morning, and the half-dry clothes...< br>
"No, no, I feel like Fatty has changed into a different person. She knows how to stand up for her mother!" Mrs. Tan slapped her thighs and frowned. Thinking of the face Fatty made at her just now, she felt even more hateful. My teeth are itching.
