Yang Yongjin said: "The fourth aunt did not return to the village. On the way back to the town, I paid special attention and did not see the fourth aunt."
"Then where will she stay tonight?" Yang Yongjin asked again, "Could it be that she is staying with my aunt? Or is she coming to our Tianxiang House?"
Yang Ruoqing took a sip of tea, looked at Yang Yongjin, and said, "We asked this question when we stopped her. She said she was going to stay with her biological mother, so we don't need to worry about it."
Chen Biao's mother-in-law's house is Chen Biao's house. Chen Biao and Ju'er have gone to take care of a restaurant in the county town. The eldest son was taken there to study, and the younger son was given to Chen's mother. The grandparents and grandson lived in the old house in the town.
Yang Yongjin was stunned and lost his voice: "Go to Chen's house? Then she will have to make a fuss!"
"Why? Isn't Mother Chen at home?"
"Aunt, you don't know something," Xiuxiu, who was also an insider, told Yang Ruoqing: "A few days ago, my little cousin got sick and had a fever. Grandma Chen's family panicked and came to find my father. It was my father who had taken a cigarette. In my free time in the afternoon, I helped send their grandparents and grandchildren to my aunt Ju’er in the county town.”
"Oh? You haven't come back in the past two days, have you?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Xiuxiu nodded: "She probably hasn't come back. Grandma Chen left a key with me before she went to the county town. She asked me to go over and feed and give water to the chickens and ducks in her yard every day when I have time. No, today I just left at noon!”
Yang Ruoqing blinked her eyes twice and said happily: "Then the fourth aunt is in vain now. There is a high probability that she will come to stay with us, or go to Aunt Mei'er's place."
"No, the possibility of going to Aunt Meiguan's place is very small. There is a shortage of houses there and there are no extra beds for her to sleep on."
"Secondly, my grandma is over there. Unless I have to, my fourth aunt doesn't want to live under the same roof as my grandma."
Yang Ruoqing put down her tea bowl and stood up. She came to the door and looked outside a few times, secretly wondering in her heart.
The sun is going down, the crowd at the construction site has been evacuated, and those who should be controlled are also under control.
Looking back at the previous scenes at the construction site, Yang Ruoqing did not see Liu in the crowd.
If Mrs. Liu had been at the scene at that time, even if Yang Ruoqing didn't see her, she would have taken the initiative to yell at Yang Ruoqing, and then, relying on her relationship with Yang Ruoqing, she would have squeezed to Tukeng to watch Tai Sui up close.
Where did the fourth aunt go?
When Yang Yongjin saw that it was almost getting dark and Mrs. Liu hadn't come over yet, he was worried and said, "I'll go to my aunt to have a look. Maybe my fourth aunt has gone there."
"Second brother, it's dinner time soon. There are going to be guests in the restaurant. You'd better not go out."
"The fourth aunt?"
"I'll go!"
"Auntie, I'll accompany you."
"Okay, let's talk. We haven't finished what we said before!"
Yang Ruoqing and Xiuxiu did not take the carriage, but walked to Yang Huamei's house. It was also convenient to find Liu's figure along the way.
……
Two-quarters of an hour later, their aunt and nephew arrived at the house rented by Yang Huamei and Xu Yuanming.
At this time, Xu Yuanming had sobered up and was delivering a bowl of chicken soup noodles to Yang Huamei's house.
Sister Hua was busy in the kitchen, and Mrs. Tan was collecting the diapers of three babies in the yard, mumbling as if she was scolding someone.
There are several other tenants living in this huge yard, but no one dares to come here, let alone talk to them. Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing strongly suspected that during the time that Tan lived here, she had probably had conflicts and collisions with other tenants in the same yard. Then, other tenants had already experienced this old lady's unforgiving talk, and they all Stay away from her.
"Grandma, uncle." Xiuxiu's voice startled them, and Tan and Xu Yuanming looked towards the entrance of the courtyard at the same time.
Xu Yuanming smiled and nodded, saying, "Qing'er, you and Xiu Xiu sit in the room, and I'll bring the noodles to your aunt first."
"Uncle is going to work, I'll ask grandma a few words and then leave." Yang Ruoqing said.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Mrs. Tan was already kicking her little feet and roaring towards the door of the courtyard. She still had a few clean diapers hanging in her arms. Her other hand grasped Yang Ruoqing's arm tightly like a chicken's claw and lowered her head. He said: "I was about to send Xu Yuanming to the restaurant to find you. Something happened, something big happened!"
"What's going on?"
"You have been here before, saying that there is no one in the Chen family, come here to stay here."
oh?
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows. The fourth aunt's move was beyond her expectation. She originally thought that the fourth aunt would avoid the Tan family and go to Tianxiang Tower to stay overnight!
"I told her that there was no place to live here and asked her to go to Tianxiang Tower." Ms. Tan continued, "She refused to leave and kept nagging me. I was so angry that I drove her away with a broom. ”
"Then what?" Yang Ruoqing asked again. After hearing this, there was nothing unusual!
Looking at Xiu Xiu next to her with her ears pricked up, Xiu Xiu also had a confused look on her face. She probably had the same idea as Yang Ruoqing.
Tan grabbed Yang Ruoqing's arm hard and stomped his feet and said, "When she was stunned by me, panicked and fell."
"Something fell out of her pocket. She had wrapped it in a handkerchief, and it fell to the ground with a splat."
"Before I had time to see clearly what it was, she quickly picked it up, put it back, and ran away. Her panicked look showed that she had done something guilty!"
"I went to look at the place where she dropped her things. There was a little faint red mark on the ground. I lay down and smelled it. It smelled of blood!"
"Your fourth aunt, your fourth aunt has a piece of raw meat hidden on her body. I'm afraid she stole Tai Sui meat. She is known to take advantage..."
After listening to Tan's statement and analysis, Yang Ruoqing was shocked.
Xiu Xiu also opened her eyes wide in fear and murmured: "Can't you? Although it's true that the Fourth Grandma likes to take advantage, she's not so stupid that she just gets everything, right?"
Yang Ruoqing couldn't believe it, because when Mrs. Tan was talking about the strange behavior of villagers who mistakenly ate Tai Sui meat in the early years, Mrs. Liu was sitting next to Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun, listening with two ears!
Since everyone has heard that Tai Sui is evil, how could Mrs. Liu know that she was wrong? Isn’t this seeking death?
"Grandma, are you reading that right? Maybe that handkerchief contains something else?" Xiuxiu looked puzzled.
Mrs. Tan gave Xiuxiu a hard look, "Even if I only have one eye left, it will still be bright. Even if I am blind, my ears will be fine, and my nose will be fine!"
"By the way, if you don't believe it, I will take you outside. The piece of raw meat in her pocket fell there before, and the traces have not been erased!"
Yang Ruoqing and Xiuxiu followed Tan to the courtyard entrance.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw a very thin civet cat with eyes full of eye excrement squatting on the ground at the gate of the yard and licking the ground.
Mrs. Tan scolded the raccoon cat angrily.
Yang Ruoqing saw the tongue of the civet cat licking the ground and turned a deaf ear to Tan's scolding. Yang Ruoqing's face changed drastically and she secretly thought something was wrong! (End of chapter)
