At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a little weird. Father Li couldn't sit still for a long time, so he went back to his room to rest. Su Shi ate by himself, and did not greet the old lady and Chen. Xiaoyang took a sea bowl, sandwiched a few dishes, and went to the courtyard to eat.

The old lady had a straight face, glared at Li Xiaonuan, and then at Su. Chen picked up the vegetables with a disgusted face, and was glared at by the old lady several times when he wanted to open his mouth. There was no way, she could only vent her dissatisfaction on the plate.

I really couldn't see it, so Li Xiaonuan spoke up: "Fifth aunt, who would dare to eat the dishes if you stir them up like this?" That's how you eat at home, that's how your parents taught you? ”

Chen was waiting for the opportunity to open his mouth, so he said without thinking: "Yo, Xiao Nuan is really powerful, teach the elders a lesson." It's not that I said, such a dish will never be served in our house. Why do you keep that silver, why don't you lend it to me and your fifth uncle to do business? ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaonuan said sarcastically: "The fifth aunt's family is living so well, they don't even eat pork." It can be seen that it is not a family that lacks silver. Unlike our family, although we have a little silver, we still have to save flowers. It's this pork, and it's good to eat it two or three times a month. ”

Chen was not happy when he heard this, and retorted: "Who said that there is no shortage of silver, our family just has no silver, otherwise we would have done business with the fourth uncle." It's not that I said, your dish is just unpalatable. It's better to stew a chicken, and drinking soup is better than these colorful dishes. ”

Li Xiaonuan is happy, a brainless person can't reason with her, people can't understand. Therefore, she said directly: "Fifth aunt, these vegetables are common wild vegetables, although they are not precious things, but they are good for people's health." ”

"Besides, I really think it's delicious, it's much better than when I went to your house, and I scalded it directly on the water table. Oh, you see, this soup is made with minced meat, and it tastes so sweet and sweet that it's no worse than chicken broth. Also, this wild bitter wheat is fried with pork, and the taste is refreshing. ”

As soon as Chen heard it, he knew that Li Xiaonuan was making fun of her, so he stabbed: "Phew, just your pig dish, you don't even have the qualifications to feed the dog as if you were at home." If it weren't for the fact that there were a few pieces of meat, who would have turned them over? As he spoke, he poked the dish with a "doo" sound.

Su Shi was already angry, so when he heard this, he dropped his chopsticks, picked up the bitter wheat vegetable dish that had been turned over and splashed with vegetable juice, and walked outside the courtyard gate and poured it clean with a "bang".

Seeing this, the old lady put on a straight face and moved the only scrambled egg with leeks on the table that had not been harmed to her right hand to prevent Chen from catching it. But he didn't make a sound to stop Chen's vexatious trouble.

Seeing this, Su Shi directly poured the leftover rice from her bowl into the soup basin, and even poured the cold purslane. After finishing it, she explained to Li Xiaonuan: "Your mother-in-law's dog is about to give birth, you can send this pot of vegetables to feed the dog." ”

Li Xiaonuan responded and poured the rice in his bowl into it. Xiaoyang strode in from the outside, took the vegetable bowl and left. Su Shi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and also left the hall. Li Xiaonuan followed with crutches.

In the hall, only the stunned old lady and Chen were left. Chen poked at the bowl and only ate two bites of rice, and complained: "I haven't eaten a few bites yet, and I actually took the food to feed the dogs?" ”

The old lady protected the scrambled eggs with leeks, and said while eating: "It's not all your own making, who is to blame?" ”

Chen was angry, but when he thought of that dish, he said, "There is still meat in that dish, and there is also that soup, and there is a lot of minced meat in it." This family is really wasteful, and they really have silver, and they can't even look at meat. "Well, she forgot, who said those dishes should not be on the table.

Seeing the old lady eating scrambled eggs with leeks, Chen smashed his mouth and asked, "Mother, put the eggs in the middle, I'll eat some and send some food." ”

The old lady poured the eggs from the plate into her bowl and placed the plate in front of Chen. Chen looked at the scattered crumbs of eggs on the plate, and was so angry that he almost threw the plate in the old lady's face.

After the meal, the old lady stood outside the courtyard and scolded Su and Li Xiaonuan for a bloody squirt, before leaving with the triumphant Chen.

After packing up her things, Li Xiaonuan returned to the house tiredly. Just as I was about to lie down, I found that the room had been turned over. She subconsciously looked at the pillow and found that the small box containing the household silver was missing.

Don't think about it, Li Xiaonuan also knows that it is Chen's hand. She couldn't help but snort coldly, not giving a lesson, it seems that others really think she is easy to bully.

"Xiaoyang, come on, a thief has come into my house to steal something. Go and ask Uncle Lizheng and ask him to accompany you to the city to report to the official. ”

Li Xiaoyang ran into Li Xiaonuan's house and asked nervously, "Sister, what did you lose?" ”

Li Xiaonuan checked it before and said, "I lost more than forty taels of silver, with that "Tao Te Ching". You hurry up, if you can catch up with grandma and them, say in front of them that you are going to report to the official. ”

As soon as Xiao Yang heard this, his eyes lit up. He smiled sheepishly: "Sister, I know what to do." After saying that, he ran away with a cigarette.

At the entrance of the village, several women were talking about Zhao Wangchuan's return. The old lady stopped and chatted with her. Chen was satisfied, more than forty taels of silver, but it was enough to spend a long time.

Just as she was talking enthusiastically, Mrs. Jin suddenly signaled everyone to be quiet, and whispered to the old lady: "If you want to say, before this Zhao Lichuan, it was very good to be with your Xiaonuan." I don't know if this time, can your Xiao Nuan renew the relationship with him? ”

When Chen heard this, he smiled and said: "Hmph, just like Xiao Nuan, even the old widower can't look down on her." I looked at Zhao Hechuan, and I must have forgotten her. ”

The old lady is at home, so naturally she will not make excuses about her family. But outside, she doesn't allow her family to slap her family in the face. Therefore, she scolded angrily: "You pig-headed, troublemaker, shut up if you can't speak." How about Xiao Nuan, I don't know if you do this. If you're fooling around all day, it's time to let the fifth child take a break from you. ”

As soon as Chen heard the old lady's trouble, she quickly admitted her mistake, although she didn't know what she was wrong. "Mother, don't be angry. It's the daughter-in-law who is wrong, and the daughter-in-law doesn't talk anymore, okay? Don't let his father divorce me. ”

The old lady saw that Chen's confession was sincere, and her face softened slightly. But her tone was still stiff: "Hmph, if you recognize the mistake, stay aside, and don't make a sound without me speaking." ”

Chen stepped aside with an aggrieved look on his face, watching the old lady talk to those ladies. When he touched the heavy small box in his sleeve pocket, Chen became happy again. Little hoof, I won't take it myself if you don't give me the money.

was proud, Li Xiaoyang followed behind Li Zheng and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the village. When the women saw this, they asked why.

Li Xiaoyang looked anxious and said loudly: "Aunts, aunts, my family has been robbed. My sister's silver on the pillow was stolen, and I was about to report to the Yamen with Uncle Lizheng. ”
