Chapter 56: The East Window Incident
Mu Zhen was still thinking about how He Laosan and her life would live in the future, but she didn't want an incident that happened in front of her to catch her off guard
"Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang, where are you?"
Mu Zhen and He Laosan, one of them was carrying pigweed, and the other was resting with artemisia on their backs, when they heard Hongmei's panicked shouts
"Alas, sister-in-law, what is wrong with us here," the urgency in Hongmei's voice also lifted Mu Zhen's heart
"Zhenniang, it's gone, you go back quickly, your wife is raiding your house, and you've made a mess of what you bought."
What kind of crazy is this old woman?
Mu Zhen couldn't think about it, and wanted to put down the shoulder basket on her back and strode back, "I'm still in the house, I'm not beaten, sister-in-law, I don't know why?"
Things and everything are trivial things, the key is that when they left, Xiao Baozi was still asleep in the house, and the old couple didn't beat people, and the important thing was that they beat Xiao Baozi, and Mu Zhen didn't dare to think about it
Hongmei stood on the side of the road and waited for Mu Zhen and his family, "Yiqing is fine, he saw that his milk was in your house, and he turned over the wall and overturned the cabinet, so he hurriedly ran to our house to find him, Uncle Shanzi went, I came to report to you first, I didn't go to your house, I don't know why, did you say it would be something you asked Shanzi to buy, so that your wife knows."
When I heard that my son had Jinshan to take care of Mu Zhen, I was relieved, but if it was really as Hongmei said, then what should I do
Looking at He Laosan, who was frowning, he asked worriedly: "Xianggong, what do you think of here, or let's think of a countermeasure first and then go back."
He Laosan heard that when the Song family went to turn over their house, he also threw off the bundle of artemisia he was carrying
"It's okay, even if she goes to look through it, she can't find anything, most of the things we want to use are bought by Tuo Jinshan, and every time I go to the mountain house to get something, I pick up the room when it's not in the house, or it's in the middle of the night, and there is nothing valuable in the house, don't hurry to go back and see her first."
As soon as He Laosan said this, Mu Zhen thought about it, and the one hundred and ten taels of silver in his hand were not in the house, knowing that the Song family was going to trouble them during this time, Mu Zhen had already put the slightly decent things in the house on the house, and when they were not in the house, they all moved to the cave where the Qi family lived and they lived
When the three of them came back, there was no Song in the house, only the rice in the rice jar and the remaining gray oil, almost all the oil in the jar was edible, and Song looted it
Mu Zhen, who watched the tidy house become a mess, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, turned to look at He Laosan who was holding her hands deadly, and said: "Xianggong, you can't help me here, you go and find the village chief to help find it, if I don't ask her for an explanation today, she will really put our family under the footboard and step on it."
He Laosan also knew that even if he was here, if the old couple was ordering something or making a move, he would not be able to help at all
Distressed and guilty, he looked at Mu Zhen and said, "Okay, then you are too detailed, don't have a hard time with them."
Mu Zhen nodded, watched He Laosan walk away, and continued to say to Hongmei: "Sister-in-law, you go back and bring my baby with Shanzi, but you have to help me, don't let him be alone, you see which sisters-in-law you have a good relationship with in the village, go and spread a word, let everyone come to our door, and go and talk to Shui Ling's sister-in-law."
It's a pity that the godfather and godmother went to Yunxian County to spend Duanyang with his son, otherwise, this fire could have burned more vigorously, and she would have forced the Song family to enter their house in the future
As for why the Song family suddenly wanted to search Muzhen's house, it started with He Fuzhu
He Fuzhu's family is a butcher, and he often puts it in the town, and there is a case, and when Mu Zhen went to the town to buy meat for the first time, he was seen by He Fuzhu
He Fuzhu did a good job that day, and sent food to her father-in-law Zhang Dazhi, and when she saw a person in the stall next door, she wanted to be the third daughter-in-law
After Mu Zhen and Hongmei left, He Fuzhu asked Zhang Dazhi what Mu Zhen had sold, although in the end she felt that those were not valuable things, but she was very curious about where she got the money
The Song family's attitude towards those two people was like calling subordinates, and He Fuzhu naturally didn't treat them as her own, so she kept a heart when she thought that Mu Zhen was hiding private money
The stall where the pork was bought was not far from the city gate tower, and He Fuzhu saw the sky there, and when Mu Zhen and He Laosan came to the town together, she saw it again
Mu Zhen and the others walked in front, He Fuzhu followed behind, and finally saw that the family went to Yipintang to eat, and she naturally believed in Mu Zhen and their private room even more
It's just that the stall's business in those days is okay, and it won't be long before Duanyang in May, and she always has to go back to her parents' house, so she put this matter down
She had long wanted her mother to go to the third room to search to see if there were any good things, but one of Mu Zhen's two always stayed in the house to watch the door, so she didn't tell the Song family about it
This morning, Mu Zhen thought that the sky was still not bright, and there should be nothing to do, but she didn't know that it was called He Fuzhu, so she took advantage of the loophole
Mu Zhen walked out of her house and knelt directly to the door of the upper room without saying anything
The upper room is still relatively lively today, except for He Fulin, the two are not there, plus He Fuzhu's family of five, more than a dozen people are in the house
A few children were disobedient and ran around, He Fuzhu wanted to help the Song family, and He Fucui was responsible for taking care of a few children
Originally, she was running with Dabao, a few children, but she didn't expect that just out of the door, a few small ones stopped, and she couldn't stop teaching, and she tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground
Rubbing his arm that was hurt by the fall, he was about to scold a few words, but he didn't want to see Mu Zhen kneeling straight in front of his house
"Mu Zhenniang, what do you mean, have a good time, what are you doing kneeling in front of my house?"
Mu Zhen originally thought that this was still a child, so she didn't care about her, but when she saw that her father-in-law had already led the village chief to the intersection, she planned to change her strategy
"Second sister, I beg you, please tell my mother, spare our family of three, my mother hasn't given us half a piece of rice in the past few months, and finally I licked my face and asked my godmother to borrow some food, and now all of them are taken away by my mother, what are we going to eat?"
He Fucui saw that his mother didn't want to confront her head-on, and the person did kneel down for herself, and suddenly felt extremely proud: "Seeing your family of three, our eyes are green, and we give you food to eat, why didn't I give you a way to live, I haven't given you food for a few months, I don't see you, you still live well, which one is starving to death or what, what is the mother of your life who took you a little bit of something, that's how it should be."
Seeing He Fucui pour beans and tell everything the Song family did, Mu Zhen sincerely thanked this girl for her straightforwardness
Mu Zhen didn't say anything to He Fucui anymore, and directly turned to the side slightly, kowtowed to the person who came, and said: "Uncle Fu, what my mother has done, you have also listened to my second sister, please be the master of the two of me, otherwise we really won't have a way to live."
Song and He Fuzhu, who were cooking in the house, also came out when they heard the movement outside
"Third daughter-in-law, what do you mean by Da Duanyang, do you want to curse the old lady to death, or why do you kneel in front of the old lady's door and do something?"
As soon as the Song family came out, he didn't see the village chief, but he saw Mu Zhen kneeling in front of his house and scolded him
He Fuzhu pulled Song's hand on the side and said to the village chief with a smile: "Uncle Fu is here, come into the house to drink saliva, what is the matter with you coming to our house?"
Hearing He Fuzhu say this, the Song family saw clearly that the village chief was also present
smiled and said: "The village chief is here, come into the house and sit down, let you see the joke, this third daughter-in-law doesn't know what to smoke, how bad it is for Da Duanyang to kneel at the gate, you say that I am an old woman, she keeps saying that she doesn't like it, and others say that my old woman is hateful."
Hearing this, the Song family opened his eyes and said nonsense, and the village chief snorted coldly: "Mingzhong's daughter-in-law's mouth is powerful, if I hadn't heard what Cui Cuizi said with my own ears, I would have really believed your words, what do you say, you are old, you don't give food and rice, forget it, the baby bought it himself, and you still want to rob you, this is forcing them to death."
Seeing that the village chief was really angry, the Song family didn't dare to put on a mother-in-law's shelf, and He Fucui smiled shyly and said to the village chief: "Cui Wazi is not in the house in the morning, she knows what"
Mu Zhen looked at the Song family and wanted to deny it, looked at the more and more people gathered around her, squeezed two tears and looked at the Song family and said: "The mother is doing it, the sky is watching, you say Cui Cuizi doesn't know, then I Yiqing always knows, you go to my house in the morning to rummage around, my baby is scared and dare not stay in the house, the two of us went out early in the morning to cut artemisia, and there is no one to teach the little baby to speak the vernacular."
The more Mu Zhen's tears were raised, the more she knelt in front of the village chief and said sadly: "Uncle Fu's little baby doesn't have anyone to teach him, he won't be able to speak in the vernacular, if you don't believe it, you can ask me baby."
What kind of virtue is the Song family, Mu Zhen said, the village chief also knows, "I have the following ...... in my heart whether I ask or not."
However, before the village chief could finish speaking, Song rushed to say: "What's wrong with your baby, even if the old lady goes to your house, then what kind of filial piety should the old lady be, what do you mean by crying?"
Looking at the villagers gathering more and more at the door of the house, the Song family became even more arrogant, and joked that if those people saw that she couldn't even clean up her daughter-in-law, she wouldn't let people laugh to death in the future
Mu Zhen touched the tears on her face and said: "Mother, we should be filial to you, but everyone also knows that there is no division in our house, if you don't give us a mouthful of food, don't we be allowed to make a living by ourselves?"
Many of the people who came here were called by Hongmei and Shui Ling, and the two of them squeaked with everyone openly or secretly, and now seeing that the old woman of the Song family is so harsh, the daughter-in-law is still very arrogant, and they can't help but point at her
