Chapter Seventy-Five: The Thief
Erlang is gone, no matter how reluctant he is to Dong Xiaoman and their two children, no matter how worried he is about the future life of the three girls, no matter how much he wants to get up and work hard to change his life.
Dong Xiaoman didn't dare to imagine that Erlang couldn't come back, although she was optimistic by nature, she also knew how to prepare for the worst in everything and do her best.
The most important thing now is to take care of the body and give birth to this child, fortunately, there is a house, land and silver. Dong Xiaoman doesn't care about other things anymore, no longer thinking about how to make money, how to improve his life, and he doesn't care about the trivial things in the past.
Mrs. Zhang often came to see Dong Xiaoman, asking if she was doing well, and said that she looked at her stomach like a big grandson.
Li also came back occasionally for the last time, looking at Dong Xiaoman's belly, I couldn't wait to grow a pair of see-through eyes to see if it was male or female.
It is also strange to say that Dong Xiaoman's stomach has stopped since Erlang left. The fetus does not fluctuate much, and it is no longer the problem of not being able to eat, sleep, sleep, and often burnt and dizzy.
Even babies can feel the pressure of their mothers, so stay in their stomachs honestly.
Mrs. Wang often led her grandchildren to see Dong Xiaoman because of her good health, and she was able to talk to Dong's mother for a day when she came over. Yun'er is a well-behaved child, obediently teasing and playing.
And Xiaohu learned Erlang like a crow feeding back, either picking up water or chopping firewood, or cleaning the yard inside and out.
Xiao Gang and Dong's father still live in the mountains, and since his brother-in-law left, Xiao Gang has installed a lot of hidden weapons in front of the house in the afternoon. I was afraid that the bold thief would enter the house. It's okay to steal, but you can't scare adults and children.
Did you catch it, there really is! One night, a spold from an outlying village climbed in through the outer wall, and stepped on the wolf trap on the ground as soon as he landed in the house.
The wolf trap was no small thing, and the sharp blade instantly pierced the skinny leg bones, and the miserable scream resounded through the sky.
"Ah~, ah~, help, help!"
"Oh, it's a killing, help, it's a life. Come on! The splash skin couldn't take care of much, the leg injury could be seen that the bone blood was flowing all over the ground, and he shouted for help in pain.
The tingling howls of the scalps, the barking of dogs, the crowing of chickens, the startled barking of donkeys made the night not quiet. The child who slept was awakened with fright, crying and crying, and the lights came on one house after another.
Dong's mother heard that although she was scared, she mustered up her courage, and she trembled and put on her clothes and looked at the lantern, and she was so frightened that she was sweating.
Although Dong Xiaoman was scared, he plucked up his courage and asked Dong's mother to light all the lights while beating the gong and calling for help at home.
The people of the village rushed to see what was happening. Seeing the bloody and painful fainting village chief, the village chief scolded. Fortunately, Dong Xiaoman's mother and daughter were not a big deal, and the family did not incur losses, so the villagers helped carry the splash out of the house.
Someone told the news to the Zhang family's old house, and San Lang was the first to get dressed and rushed over, and he was relieved to see that his sister-in-law was fine. After Mr. Zhang and Da Lang arrived, they were also taken aback by the scene, and after confirming that there was no loss, they just scolded the splash.
After sending everyone away, Da Lang said to Old Man Zhang: "Dad, this is not a way, it is better to let my younger siblings move back to live." ”
Old Man Zhang glared at Da Lang and scolded: "Idiot, do you think she can come back?" What are you doing back? Let your mother take care of her? Can she stop when she moves back to your house? ”
Da Lang touched his nose. He didn't speak. Lee's virtue also understands in his heart. But as soon as Erlang left, there was a thief at home, can you think of a way to be a big brother, this is unreasonable.
After hearing about it, Li thought of an idea, and stepped forward when Mrs. Zhang was happy and said, "Mother, the two mothers of Erlang's family are also restless, let's find a way to help." ”
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Li and snorted, "What can there be that is uneasy?" Haven't you heard, that sloppy leg bone is broken? After that, he will be a cripple. After speaking, he was surprised and said: "In the end, it is from Orion, I heard that the clips are all from the mother-in-law." Oops, it's said that there is no place to go down in the afternoon before the house, not to mention people, it's a death if the bear goes in. ”
Li stammered, blinked his eyes, didn't expect people to be like this, Mrs. Zhang knew at a glance that Li had something to say and an idea to put away.
"What are you doing with your brain?"
Li smiled dryly: "Mother, I think that Dong Xiaoman is our daughter-in-law after all. You said that it's not a way to always let her mother serve her, anyway, Liu's is also a big-bellied woman, and the so-called one is also to catch two and release. I'll work harder and serve them both together. ”
Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly and looked at Li Shi playfully and said, "What is going on in your mind?" Can you have that kind eye? ”
Li said aggrievedly: "Mother-in-law, you blame me, I am usually a little confused." But I'm not ambiguous at all in this big matter, it stands to reason that this Erlang is a strong man for our family, and we have to do our part as brothers and sisters-in-law, don't we? ”
Mrs. Zhang nodded, that's right, you can't let her mother always take care of her. There are already rumors in this village that I am a bad mother-in-law, and it will not sound good when San Lang marries in the future.
After thinking about it and nodding his head, Li happily staggered home in three steps.
As soon as she got home, she went into Liu Ruyi's room, which she despised the most, and saw Liu Ruyi sitting there with her little clothes crooked. Sitting down with a big grin, Liu Ruyi looked at Li and smiled: "It's done?" ”
Li said proudly: "That's natural, I've been in front of my mother-in-law for many years, and she can agree with anything." ”
Liu Ruyi didn't care if she was really so favored, but just praised: "Sister is so powerful, I know that you will succeed as soon as you come out!" ”
After speaking, he pretended to hesitate for a while, and pretended to be worried: "I heard that the second brother and sister are fierce people, will she agree to let us go?" ”
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Can she still reverse her mother-in-law's meaning?" ”
Liu Ruyi frowned, thought for a long time and said, "It's better to let my mother-in-law admit it in, and wait until the child is born." Anyway, Saburo is at home, and her mother-in-law won't live long. ”
Li nodded in agreement, and asked with doubts in his heart: "At that time, what should I do if my mother-in-law is gone, and she chases us?" ”
Liu Ruyi said: "Then according to the previous discussion, our family has many places and few places, and we will just be her companion if Erlang is not at home." When Erlang comes back, it's not too late for us to move out. At that time, Erlang will thank us, even if our family builds a new house, it will not be good to make money. If you can't come back......"
The two women looked at each other and smiled, and Li said ill-intentionedly: "Then you can stay for a few days!" ”
Li slapped his thigh and sighed, "Hey, you are a person who has seen the world." I've never lived in such a nice house when I'm so big. I went a few times last year, and it was so warm in that room. ”
As he spoke, his face was full of longing: "Erlang collected the dry trees in the mountain behind their house, and poured them into the dragon basket by basket." When you light the fire, it starts to burn. Saying that, he smashed it and smashed his mouth: "Tut-tut, it's hot and hot when you touch the ground." Hey, Dong Xiaoman wore a half-new jacket in her house and embroidered there. ”
The words turned and said with a resentful face: "I don't know what kind of dog life is in the Daoist family, you said that our family was last year." As soon as he mentioned it, Li Shi was angry: "Da Lang, this stupid man, let him go to the mountains to chop firewood so hard." Tell me to save some and save some all day long. ”
Liu Ruyi knew about it, and in the winter, the Li family scolded people because of this. She was a little disdainful, she was really a little ordinary person who had never seen the world. That firewood doesn't need to cost money at all, just cut it casually with strength, and the two of them actually quarreled because of this kind of thing.
"You don't know what to do, the old lady was cut by Erlang, it's very sufficient. But the old lady just wouldn't let me take firewood from the firewood, and Dalang scolded me for not being a good housekeeper. Li was aggrieved when he mentioned it.
"There's no chopping wood, I really don't understand." Liu Ruyi was very contemptuous in his heart.
"Da Lang said that the business of the shop was busy, so let me chop wood by myself. When there was no separation, Erlang went to cut it, who knew that it was so cold and windy in winter, how to cut it. To tell the truth, Erlang is also a miser, you have sent firewood to the old lady, are you sending our family? It's all a family, and it's always so clear, hum, it's all his delicate daughter-in-law. Seeing Li's gritted teeth and unreasonableness, Liu Ruyi was very proud.
As long as she continues to maintain this ability to take advantage of herself, she casually makes her think of letting her compete with others. At that time, even if there is any fault, it is not her wife, and if you want to blame her, you will just blame her, and no matter how you liquidate it, you will not be able to make trouble for yourself.
Touching her huge belly, Liu Ruyi sighed in her heart: "Child, child, my mother is doing this for you." This family is too poor, and my mother is reluctant to live with your mother in this leaky room as soon as you come out. Others can live in a big house, but my mother is just fighting for a small yard for you to shelter from the wind and rain. Don't blame your mother for being ruthless, your mother is reluctant to let us two endure hardships, you have a brother above you. ”
Thinking that this family, which had no money, would still belong to Bao'er, Liu Ruyi's heart was very unbalanced. However, she believes that it is easy to fool the two idiots in the family with her mind. ”
Dong Xiaoman, who was catching up on sleep, turned over gently, muttering a dream word in his mouth, not knowing that there were already a few wolf ambitions and ill-intentioned people who wanted to bully them. (To be continued) RQ
