"Mother, do you know what's going on in the old mansion?" Li Feng said mysteriously standing behind Lin Xue with a gloating expression on his face.
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, could it be that the Zhang family made a move, turned around and pulled Li Feng and asked, "Feng'er, don't worry about your mother's appetite, hurry up and say what's wrong with the old mansion." ”
Li Feng sat down, and then said slowly, "Milk lost a hundred taels of silver today, not to say that the eldest aunt stole it, and now the two of them are arguing in the yard, and the grandmother also said that she will report to the official to arrest the eldest aunt." ”
Lin Xue had a look of disdain, she thought that the Zhang family would have some tricks, so she waved her hand and said, "Feng'er, don't care so much about the affairs of the old mansion, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Li Feng's hand holding the teacup stiffened, and asked strangely, "Mother, don't you plan to go over and have a look, I heard that the old mansion is very lively." ”
Lin Xue shook her head and said, "Don't go, your grandmother is not reasonable at all, if we go, she may think that I stole the silver, and I can't tell how many mouths there are at that time." ”
Li Feng nodded teachably, if you don't go, don't go, anyway, he doesn't want to see those people in the old mansion, "Mother, then I'll go back to the house to read, don't bother you." ”
"Well, go ahead." Lin Xue waved her hand and sat down for a while, Lin Xue stood up and went to Lin's house, today is the first day that the new sister-in-law enters the door, she has to go over and have a look.
"Mother, hug." Tianbao saw that Lin Xue was going out, and lay on the crib and shouted milkily.
Lin Xue shook her head helplessly, picked up Tianbao, and said with a smile, "You little ghost, you can't leave your mother for a minute, you see how well-behaved your sister is, not noisy or noisy." ”
Tianbao hugged Lin Xue's neck and said, "Mother, go out to play, Tianbao wants to go out to play." ”
Lin Xue couldn't only carry him over, and found Yunyun to let her hold Tianbei and the four of them together.
As soon as she entered the door, Lin Xue heard bursts of laughter from the living room, opened the curtain and said, "Mother, why are you so happy, you can hear your laughter outside." ”
"Xue'er is here, sit down quickly, your sister-in-law is telling us a joke." Hua Shi pointed to the stool next to him and said.
Lin Xue sat down with Tianbao in her arms and said, "Sister-in-law, you can sit too, you don't need to greet me, it's all your own family." ”
Wu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "These are the twins born by Xue'er, they look so cute, can I hug them." Wu looked at Lin Xue expectantly.
"Of course you can, the one in my arms is Tianbao, and the one in Yunyun's arms is Tianbei." Lin Xue put Tianbao in Wu's arms, and the little guy didn't recognize his life, hugging Wu's neck, and giggled.
"Mother, you see how much Tianbao likes sister-in-law, her eyes are squinting when she smiles." Lin Xue picked up the teacup and said.
Hua nodded, she is still quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, she is straightforward, what do you have to say, unlike the previous Li family, she looked aggrieved when she spoke in a slightly focused tone, and she didn't know how hateful her mother-in-law was.
"Xue'er, Tianbao is for you, it's almost noon, I have to hurry up and cook." Wu hugged for a while and handed Tianbao to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue looked at the sky, estimated that Li Qi should also come back, stood up and said, "Mother, I should also go back to cook, Tianbao Tianbei will be placed here first, and I will cook and come to pick them up." ”
"Okay, then you can go." Hua put Tianbao Tianbei on the kang and let them play by themselves.
Lin Xue shook her hand with Tianbao Tianbei, and turned to leave, in the middle of May, the weather was getting hotter, Lin Xue was sweating profusely after staying in the kitchen for a while, and she was thinking in her heart, she was a maid who was born not long ago, and she felt that something was wrong after two days of calling, Li Qi was not comfortable, what is it that dresses and eats, you have to be helped, and there is a big maid who is courteous in front of Li Qi every day, Lin Xue was angry and all the words were sold and rushed out, anyway, there are not many things at home, With Li Xiao and his mother's help, the two of them can finish it.
After some busy work, Lin Xue finally finished the meal, and after putting it on the table, Li Qi and the others also came back, washed their hands and faces in the courtyard, sat down and picked up chopsticks to eat, looking hungry.
"Li Xiao, when will your mother come back, it's been a few days." Lin Xue asked while eating.
Li Xiao swallowed the words in his mouth and said, "It should be soon, my mother told me to go to my uncle's house for a few days and leave her alone." ”
Lin Xue nodded, wondering in her heart that she had never heard Li Xiao and his mother talk about any other relatives before, "Li Xiao, have you seen your uncle, where is their family, who are they?" ”
Li Xiao frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I've never seen it, if it weren't for my mother mentioning it this time, I wouldn't have known that I also have an uncle, it seems that he lives in Pingyang Town, and I know even more about who else." After a pause, Li Xiao looked at Lin Xue and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you asking these things, there must be something." ”
"No, no, I'm just asking." Lin Xue shook her head, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, but the doubts in her heart did not decrease but increased, this Li Xiao is also a person with a story.
"In charge, your mother lost a hundred taels of silver today, if she asks you for it, you can say no." Lin Xue looked at Li Qi and told him that if the Wang family couldn't find the money, she would definitely hit Li Qi with the idea, so she had to take precautions.
Li Qi frowned, and asked puzzledly, "How could my mother lose the silver, there are so many people in the family, so let the thief slip in." ”
Lin Xue glanced at him and said, "A thousand defenses, ten thousand defenses, the thieves are difficult to prevent, your mother said that it was stolen by your sister-in-law, I don't know what the truth is." ”
"How dare my sister-in-law do such a thing." Li Qi looked incredulous, put down his chopsticks and said, "Xiaoxue, let's go to the old mansion to have a look, my mother must be in a hurry if she loses her money, what if she gets angry." ”
Lin Xue regretted telling Li Qi about it, her heart was too soft, and when the old lady was crying a few words, she would definitely take him down, "Boss, let's eat first, my mother didn't let anyone come to look for it, it must be no big deal, maybe the silver has been recovered." ”
"Okay then." Li Qi sat down to eat uneasily, he didn't find the chopsticks on the table, Lin Xue didn't squeak, after eating, Li Xiao and Dagui rushed to clean up, and asked Li Qi and Lin Xue to hurry to the old mansion to have a look.
"Xiaoxue, are you unhappy?" Walking on the road, Li Qi asked cautiously.
Lin Xue made a stiff face and said stiffly, "No, let's go quickly, in case you are angry and ruined, you don't have to worry about death." ”
Li Qi understood in an instant, sighed and said, "Xiaoxue, that's my mother after all, even if she is not good, it can't change this fact, think about it, if there is no her, there will be no me, you can be more considerate." ”
Lin Xue listened, but was still angry, "In charge, you are worried about your mother when something happens, so why didn't I worry about you when I was in trouble with my child." ”
Li Qi scratched his head and said helplessly, "Xiaoxue, you are so smart, what can stump you." ”
Lin Xue couldn't cry or laugh, just because she was smart, she could solve any trouble by herself, so Li Qi was not worried at all, as soon as she got angry, Lin Xue sped up her pace, and she didn't say a word to Li Qi along the way.
The courtyard of the old house was a mess, with pots and pans thrown everywhere, and freshly washed clothes on the ground, covered with mud footprints.
Lin Xue was surprised for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses, this was a thief, or a devil entered the village, chaos like this, Lin Xue stepped into the upper room, everyone was inside, Zhang's Li Lu knelt on the ground with a cloak, and the slap prints could still be seen on his face.
"Dad, mother." Lin Xue screamed and stood to the side.
The old man nodded, continued to smoke the dry tobacco in his hand, the old lady seemed to be in the intermission, poured a cup of tea and drank it, and shouted, "Zhang, Li Lu, where did you say the silver was hidden, hurry up and hand it over to me." ”
Li Lu sobbed and cried, her words couldn't be said clearly, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve from time to time, Zhang was probably tired from kneeling, and sat on the ground and said weakly, "Mother, I really didn't steal that silver, how can you let me take it out, I can't make up one hundred taels even if I sell it." ”
Wang directly threw the teacup in his hand and said, "Who else can there be besides you, or your daughter, I went out for a while this morning and the silver was gone, and the two of you were at home at that time." ”
The teacup hit Zhang's shoulder, making her covered in water, Zhang picked up the teacup and put it aside, knelt down again and said, "Mother, I was cooking in the kitchen at the time, and I didn't go to the room at all, and the key has always been in your hand, how could I open the cabinet and take the silver away." ”
Wang's face softened slightly, looked at Li Lu and said, "What about your daughter, didn't she say that she was going to town today, why was she still at home when I came back." The more Wang said, the worse his face became, and he almost decided that Li Lu was a thief.
Li Lu panicked suddenly, wiped away her tears and said, "Milk, I suddenly had a stomachache in the morning so I didn't go to Chengzhen, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xianggong, he knows, I really didn't steal the silver, milk, you believe me." ”
Yang Jian stood up at the right time and said, "Milk, what Lulu said is true, and she is so timid, how dare she steal silver, it's still a hundred taels, is there a place to hide the shack is so big." ”
Wang's hand slapped on the table, and said angrily, "Don't admit it one by one, can't you run away with your own long legs, Zhang's I will give you another chance, you say, where did the silver go, if you don't admit it, I will let the boss leave you and rush back to your parents' house." ”
Zhang's mouth is hard to argue, this silver is really not stolen by her, what do you want her to say, she looked at the old man with a distressed look, and said, "Dad, you believe me, the silver is really not stolen by me, I, Zhang Ying, just don't dare to steal my mother's things no matter how bold I am." ”
