Zhao didn't dare to speak, so he stood up and hid behind Li Gui.

"Yue'er Duo'er, from tomorrow onwards, follow your mother to learn to cook, the eldest is not small, he can't do anything, how to marry in the future." The old man heard everything behind the door, although he was dissatisfied with Zhao's last sentence, but what he said earlier was quite right, the married in-laws would not treat them as daughters, not to mention that the youngest daughter was disfigured.

"Dad, I'm not going, if I make a rough hand, no one will want me." Li Yue raised her arm, and there was not a trace of flaw on her white and tender little hands.

Maybe he was a little guilty about Li Yue, the old man didn't say anything, and changed his mouth to let Li Duo go alone, Li Duo was timid by nature and didn't dare to speak in front of people, so he just nodded and agreed.

"Second daughter-in-law, don't cook yet, I want to starve your father to death." Wang took the opportunity to make trouble, anyway, the old man only said that from tomorrow, then this meal must be made by someone who doesn't like her eyes.

Zhao didn't dare to touch the old lady's brows, so she went out to cook after answering, and Lin Xue also went out to help, not because she was kind, but because she was really hungry and couldn't stand it.

Lin Xue went back to the house to see the two children first, and learned that they had already gone to Osmanthus to eat, Lin Xue relieved herself and went directly to the kitchen, in order to save time, Zhao heated up the rest of the nest in the morning, and burned a pot of porridge, Lin Xue fried a few dishes and brought them to the upper room.

Halfway through the meal, Li Fu and Zhang came back from the town, "Dad, I asked the owner, there have been people going to the shop to sell red fruits in the past few days, and the boss said that it adds up to three taels of silver." ”

Wang put down his chopsticks, "What kind of silver, haven't you sold this red fruit yet?" ”

"Mother, that's the case, our red fruit was stolen, and my father asked me and the master to go to the town to have a look, maybe I can catch the thief." Zhang sat on the side of the kang and explained.

"How can this be reasonable, boss, do you know who that person is, the old lady must have peeled his skin." Wang said viciously, three taels of silver, what is the difference between that and eating her meat.

"I inquired, and the boss said......"

"Smack." The bowl on the table fell to the ground, and Li Ping knelt down with a thud, "Dad, I'll be honest, that red fruit ......"

"It was sold by a woman surnamed Zhao." After Li Fu finished saying the interrupted words, he looked at Li Ping, who was kneeling down, and asked, "Fourth brother, what do you want to say, what's wrong with Hongguo." ”

"It's good that the red fruit has been found, and my father can rest assured." Bai Fen helped Li Ping up and continued his words.

"Is that the case with the fourth brother?" Li Fu asked.

"yes, that's what I wanted to say." Li Ping leaned on Bai Fen with half of his body, his face pale.

"Brother and sister, you better help the fourth brother go back and rest, you see how bad his face is." Lin Xue persuaded, it's too useless, if Li Fu talks for a while, he won't admit himself.

"It's okay, third sister-in-law, we also want to hear the news of this thief, and we can be more prepared in the future." Bai Fen refused, it was the red fruit she went to sell, although she changed her name, she was still afraid of leaving any flaws.

The old man nodded and motioned for Li Fu to continue.

"That woman has been selling for several days in a row, but every time she wears a veil, and the boss only knows her surname Zhao, and says that she knows our family, and this news is what we told her." Li Fu told the news he had gotten.

"The second sister-in-law is also surnamed Zhao." Bai Fen seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly changed her words, "Of course, this matter must have nothing to do with the second sister-in-law, there are many people surnamed Zhao." ”

"It's definitely her." Wang insisted, "The surname Zhao still knows our family, not who she is," and spat into the ground, "Phew, white-eyed wolf, you dare to steal your own things, and say, you hid the silver." ”

Zhao glared at Bai Fen angrily, if she hadn't been talkative, how could the matter have been involved with her, "Mother, don't listen to the nonsense of the fourth brother and sister, how could I steal my own things, and besides, I have been working in the fields for the past few days and have never been to the town at all." ”

"Heh, you can let someone else go, I remember that the second sister-in-law's sister came to our house the day before yesterday." Li Yue interjected.

"My eldest sister is here to deliver something to me, and it has nothing to do with it." Zhao's weak explanation, all the evidence pointed to her at once, she did have the idea of this at the beginning, but the fate of the eldest sister was vivid, and finally dispelled that idea.

"Second brother, don't tie up your daughter-in-law, let her hand over the silver and send it back to her parents' house, we can't afford such a daughter-in-law." Wang commanded.

"Mother, I didn't do this, Dad, you have to believe me," Zhao kept explaining, "Master, you say something, we have been together for the past few days, how can I have time to steal red fruits." ”

Li Gui thought about it, Zhao's sister did come, but she didn't take anything when she left, "Dad, my daughter-in-law is telling the truth, she has been working in the field for the past few days, how can she have time to steal red fruits." ”

"Maybe I stole it at night." Bai Fen nodded, and smiled at Zhao again, "Second sister-in-law, I just said that it may have been stolen at night, but I didn't say that the person was you, don't get me wrong." ”

"Fourth brother and sister, don't you pretend to be stupid there, don't you just want to see me unlucky," Zhao couldn't wait to pounce on it and take a bite, resisted the urge to hit someone, knelt on the ground and sweared, "I, Zhao Xu, swear here, if I steal the red fruit and sell it for money, I won't die a thunderstorm, fall into the ditch and die when I go out, and my children will not die well." ”

The vicious oath made the old man believe in the innocence of the Zhao family, and the old lady also pursed her lips and stopped talking, the ancient people still attached great importance to the oath, if it was not really not done, no one would have made such an oath.

"Second daughter-in-law, you get up first, I believe that no one in our family will do such a thing." The old man took out a dry cigarette and smoked a few puffs, "Second brother, you go to the red fruit field tonight to guard, don't let people steal it." ”

"yes, I see, Dad." Li Gui finished eating the nest in his hand in a few bites.

When Li Ping returned to his room, his face was still pale, Bai Fen looked outside the door and closed the door, "Why are you so useless, if it weren't for my cleverness, your stealing would have been exposed." ”

Li Ping came back to his senses, his voice trembling, "Lady, don't dare to do this in the future, if my father knows about me, I will die." ”

Bai Fen nodded, "It's true that someone is watching at night, and it really can't be done, but I said that you are too timid, stealing your own things is scared like this, how can you do big things in the future." ”

For Li Ping, Bai Fen is becoming more and more disdainful, she has no ability at all, she is still so young, she is too far from her ideal husband, and she would have divorced and re-found it in modern times.

"Lady, you don't know, dad hates thieves the most, he ...... at the beginning" Li Ping told Bai Fen about the past of the Li family, Bai Fen's face turned white with fright after hearing it, and he also had a new understanding of the old man.
