Chapter 138: Stealing Food

Widow Xing briefly explained what had happened that day.

This also has to say that she died her husband and returned to her mother's house with her daughter, and the conditions of her mother's family are like that, and the children of her brother and sister-in-law are not small, and the place where she lives in this family is not rich, she can sleep in the same room with her mother, and her daughter sleeps with her cousin.

After dinner that day, the two of them were going to wash and clean up the kitchen as usual, and Widow Xing saw that there was no one else, so she took out a boiled egg that was already cold and stuffed it to Chang Qiaofeng.

People who work in the chicken farm take care of a meal at noon, there is no good thing, that is, stick noodles and dumplings, but eggs can still guarantee one per person, after all, there are many eggs here, and there are a lot of bumps and bumps at ordinary times, so there is no way to take them out and sell them, so it is better to eat them for everyone. This egg was saved by Widow Xing from her lunch, what is the use of what she doesn't eat, her daughter is still growing her body, and she often does heavy work, so she should make up for it.

Chang Qiaofeng also wanted her mother to eat, but she couldn't push Widow Xing, so she had to take it herself, the eggs were too cold, she mixed a bowl of hot water, and wanted to soak the eggs first.

When she returned to the house with the bowl, her cousin Xing Yuzhen, who usually fell asleep early, suddenly turned over and sat up.

She sniffed hard, then suddenly glared at Chang Qiaofeng and said, "Why is it so fragrant...... It's the smell of eggs, are you stealing eggs?"

Then she got off the kang with one leg, came directly over and snatched the bowl in Chang Qiaofeng's hand, and then immediately showed a smug smile and shouted:

"Sure enough, it's eggs, okay, you and your mother, who live in our house and eat our family, are still stealing eggs at night to eat?"

Chang Qiaofeng didn't pay attention, she snatched the bowl in her hand, and when she heard Xing Yuzhen's words, she immediately became angry: "You are talking nonsense, who stole your eggs to eat? This is what my mother brought back to me from the chicken farm." ”

After speaking, she also reached out to grab the bowl, but Xing Yuzhen didn't give it, turned around with the bowl and ran out of the house.

"Mom, Mom, come out soon......"

Widow Xing's brother and sister-in-law all ran out of the house when they heard the movement, Xing Yuzhen rushed forward and showed the bowl to her mother: "Mom, look, they are stealing eggs while we are sleeping." ”

“…… No, you give it back to me!" Chang Qiaofeng rushed forward after her and snatched the bowl, the movement was too big, the water splashed out, and the two of them were spilled.

"Oops!"

Xing Yuzhen was caught off guard by her movements, and almost fell, but quickly stabilized her body and said angrily: "Why are you pushing me?"

Widow Xing also heard the movement in the courtyard, came out of the house, and when she saw the current situation, she panicked, and hurriedly came over to separate the two, and explained: "Yuzhen, no, you misunderstood, this egg was brought back by my aunt from the chicken farm, and it was not good, it was left over at noon, so I gave it to your cousin...... I really didn't take it from home. ”

Chang Qiaofeng grabbed the bowl tightly with both hands, and when she passed her mother and saw her uncle's frowning brows and the disgust on her aunt's face, she panicked, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Xing Yuzhen snorted: "I don't believe it, it's not stealing, so why do you sneak it out and eat it behind someone's back in the middle of the night?"

After speaking, she glanced at Chang Qiaofeng again, and saw that she was already wiping her tears with her head down, so she turned her head in disgust and didn't look at it.

Xing Yuzhen has been pampered at home since she was a child, although she is a rural girl, but because she is the youngest in the family, her mother is very fond of her, and the two brothers above are also willing to let her, and she has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. But since my aunt came back with her cousin, not only did she have to share a room with her and sleep on a kang, but the eldest brother and the second brother were also very good to her, and from time to time they had to take clothes from her to wear, although she had tried her best to pick out the clothes she didn't want to wear before giving them to Chang Qiaofeng, but she also felt very tired, and she really wanted to find a reason to drive their mother and daughter out.

This time, she finally caught the pigtails of her aunt and daughter, and she didn't want to let anyone do it.

Why eat eggs in the middle of the night?

Widow Xing smiled bitterly, if she took out the egg during the day, where could the egg still enter her daughter's mouth. Usually she brought back a few broken eggs, and her sister-in-law fried them with green onions, and as soon as they were on the table, they were all caught by one person and one chopstick at home, and their mother and daughter couldn't eat them at all.

But she couldn't say this directly.

"Where's the sneak...... I just thought that this was just my leftovers, and I was afraid that you would dislike it, so I had to give it to Qiaofeng, or ...... Otherwise, my aunt will give it to you to eat, right? ”

Widow Xing stammered as she explained.

But her words aroused her sister-in-law's dissatisfaction: "Hmph, our Yuzhen doesn't have that kind of blessing, this child has a hard life when he is young." It's not as good as the two of you, eating eggs is not a good thing, and you have to eat leftovers, I really don't know what kind of delicacies and seas you usually eat. ”

Widow Xing's eyes also turned red when she said a few words.

"Why did my sister-in-law say such a thing, what kind of good life did our mother and mother live?"

She was very sad in her heart, obviously the family also raised chickens and laid eggs, but when did their mother and daughter see one at the table? The meal was full of potatoes, turnips and green leafy vegetables. The kitchen cabinet was watched tightly by the sister-in-law, and the eggs were counted. Looking at that amount, some people usually eat it, but when her brother and sister-in-law ate it, she doesn't know at all.

Thinking of this, she was sad and wanted to stop her tears and explain clearly, but she was naturally cowardly, so she inhaled a few times, but she couldn't say anything powerful at all, only hiding her face and crying.

"Okay, okay, an egg, eat it, don't make any noise, hurry back, Lao Tzu is sleepy and want to sleep?" Xing Dagen, the brother of Widow Xing, said angrily.

He also complained in his heart that his sister didn't teach the children well, he didn't say anything about eating secretly, and he also said nonsense and deceived people, but he was a big man who was always bad at talking to his sister's niece for an egg, so he had to settle things.

“…… No, don't wrong, I didn't steal the eggs...... Neither did my mom!"

Chang Qiaofeng still had tears on his face, but he mustered up the courage to say loudly: "How many eggs are in the house, aunt, you know it in your heart, you count the remaining eggs, is it a lot, and then you will know that my mother and I didn't steal it at all!"

Widow Xing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly continued: "Yes, sister-in-law, our eggs are all held by you, you look at it, it must be a lot." ”

Her sister-in-law rolled her eyelids and said, "I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, why bother, if you really count it, you can only embarrass yourself, if you want to count, then come." ”

So saying, she went into the kitchen, removed the food bag in front of the cupboard, took out a basket with a small basin on it from the cabinet door, moved it to the stove and gently laid it down, and lifted the small basin, which was full of eggs.

She glanced back at Widow Xing and her daughter mockingly, then lowered her head and counted intently.

"Fifteen, ten, fifteen, twentie...... Forty, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven. ”

"How is it, sister-in-law, is there no less?" said Widow Xing with a sigh of relief after counting the eggs.

"Hmph, do you still have to talk nonsense with your eyes open? Obviously, there is less than one, but three eggs are missing!" her sister-in-law cried out, "Where are the other two? It seems that this is not the first time you have stolen eggs and eaten them." ”
