Chapter 3211: There’s a Thief (Second Update)
“Okay, don’t cry. I don’t need to shed so many tears for a few sweet potato cakes and two eggs. If I look back and my eyes are broken from crying, the loss will be great. "
In the backyard of Yang Huazhong's house, Mrs. Sun is cutting cucumbers and preparing to make pickled cucumber strips.
Xiao Duo and Cui'er stood aside, while Yang Ruoqing took out a piece of handkerchief and handed it to Zhao Liu'er, who was still wiping tears in front of her, and comforted her with kind words.
Besides, Mrs. Sun also said: "Third nephew, please don't cry. I'll finish pickling the cucumber strips and put the cake on it at noon. Then you can take it to the children."
Zhao Liu'er shook her head, "Third Aunt, no need. I don't feel too sorry for the cake and eggs. I just feel angry. I can even see the egg shells. She is still making excuses, holding on to me, and looking like she's asking for help. The way you look at me..."
Yang Ruoqing frowned and said, "Are you sure that the egg is yours and not hers?"
Zhao Liuer said. : "I'm sure that my mother-in-law called me over to help, and I just put the things in the pot."
"I saw that it was so early in the morning, no outsiders came in, and the stove door was not locked. . ”
“When I went to my mother-in-law’s house to help change the medicine for Fuer and returned to the kitchen, I found that the pot was empty. ”
"The eldest brother has gone to school. Even if the eldest brother is at home, it is impossible for him to do such sneaky things. The eldest brother is a scholar. I believe in his character."
Zhao Liuer turned on the detective mode and sobbed while analyzing. Yang Ruoqing and Sun listened.
"The second brother and the eighth sister took their children to the county seat. This is even more impossible."
"The grandma in the backyard still didn't get up at that moment, and she wouldn't come to my place if she got up. Get something from the pot in the kitchen.”
“Even the fourth aunt didn’t come over, so who else is there? It can’t be an outsider, it must be someone in the house, except Lao Si and Yu Jingui. I really can’t find anyone else!” she said.
"According to what you said, I also think Yu Jingui is the most suspicious." Yang Ruoqing said.
Sun said: "From when Liu'er goes to her mother-in-law's house to when Liu'er comes out and then to Yu Jingui's house, it only takes one stick of incense at most."
"Liu'er comes out." Son, did Yu Jingui go to her own kitchen? It took half a stick of incense to eat or hide the sweet potato pancakes, but it took half a stick of incense to cook the eggs. Eat it again? That's too fast!"
Zhao Liu'er said: "I rushed to her room as soon as I entered the house, and smelled a faint smell of eggs. ”
“Then I saw a soft egg shell as big as a fingernail in a broken basket containing fruit shells and melon seed shells. ”
Yang Ruoqing said: "Perhaps Yu Jingui didn't boil the eggs before eating them. She just brewed sweet frangipani with hot water and brown sugar lard and drank them, so she could do it so quickly.
”
When it comes to the sweet and fragrant plumeria, Yang Ruoqing feels that she is also greedy.
Zhao Liu'er suddenly stopped crying and said: "Oh, if Qing'er hadn't reminded me, I would have really been negligent. When I entered the house, I saw the fourth child holding a bowl in his hand. "
"I thought he was going to pour me tea, and then I saw him put the bowl in the basin to wash it. In all likelihood, that bowl was used to brew plumeria. , she just finished drinking when I entered."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Next time if you don't get irrefutable evidence, don't rush in to question them in a hurry."
Zhao Liu'er said: "I didn't question them, I just asked them if they saw it. I just opened my mouth. I was attacked by Yu Jingui, but I still refused to let him go. , she looks like she wants me to apologize to her!”
“Forget it, let this matter go by and I won’t mention it again.” Mrs. Sun stuffed the last cucumber strip into the jar. He put smooth stones on it, then stood up and walked toward the kitchen.
After a while she came out with two salted duck eggs.
"These are the salted duck eggs I pickled last month. I just opened the jar and ate them yesterday. You can take two and give them to the children for porridge. There is a lot of red oil in them." Sun said.
Zhao Liuer quickly stood up and waved her hands repeatedly. "Third Aunt, don't be like this. I came here to cry to you because I felt aggrieved and wanted to find a place to talk. I didn't want to take your things..."
Sun He glared at Zhao Liuer and said, "Say What nonsense are you talking about? This is what Third Aunt gives to the child, so don’t give in.”
“Even if you don’t suffer this time, I still intend to let Qing’er give it to you. If you want to go, take them quickly," the woman said.
On the side, Yang Ruoqing was also persuading.
Zhao Liuer blushed and took it back. Just when she was about to leave, she suddenly said: "By the way, I went to my grandma's house earlier and listened to her talk. I know why my uncle and aunt quarreled last night."< br>
“Why?” Yang Ruoqing asked.
Isn’t it because the question is about selling the land?
Zhao Liuer said: "It's about selling the land."
"The fourth aunt sold four acres of land in one breath without telling the fourth uncle, and the money from the sale of the land is still in her hands. The fourth uncle was so angry that he refused to give it to him, and the two of them had a big quarrel."
"No matter how much my fourth uncle threatens me, my fourth aunt refuses to take out the twenty taels of silver." Brother, come and take him away," Zhao Liuer said.
"Oh my god!" Sun opened her eyes in surprise.
“When I heard your father come back yesterday, I thought she would not sell the land easily after hearing your father’s advice.”
“Even if she really wants to sell, she will wait. Come to your fourth uncle’s house and sell it together with your fourth uncle.”
"Why did you sell the land without telling your fourth uncle? You still hold on to the money from selling the land. What are you doing?"
Sun's puzzling question, Yang Ruoqing did not It's very clear.
To put it bluntly, the fourth aunt became more and more distrustful of the fourth uncle and no longer felt safe.
In the past, Xiaojuan was a little better before she was pregnant. After all, the fourth uncle's children were all born to the fourth aunt.
Since Xiaojuan became pregnant again, the fourth aunt began to become more and more anxious day by day.
Especially when she saw her fourth uncle coming back from working in the restaurant and openly bringing things to replenish Xiaojuan's health, her fourth aunt became so angry and jealous that she almost went crazy.
So, it is far more reliable to seize money than to seize men.
"After all, the fourth aunt is also a hateful and pitiful person." Yang Ruoqing said.
......
In the morning, the whole Changping Village became lively. Everyone rushed to the threshing floor at the south end of the village with basins, buckets, and twine bags in their hands. Rush.
The sound of gongs and drums came from the threshing floor at the south end of the village. The villagers were all red-faced and excited. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
“The low-quality brown rice costs two hundred cents per catty at the rice and grain shop in town, but you can buy it for twenty cents per catty here.” Six hundred cents per catty, here it’s only sixty cents,”
“At this moment, a high platform has been set up at the threshing floor at the south end of the village. Uncle Zhenbang and several guys are busy weighing rice there. The whole village has passed by.”
