The sun is setting.

The atmosphere in the Ai family's compound was unusual.

There was no smell of food wafting from the yard as usual, and it was quiet in the upper room.

On the kang head of the house sat the old man in charge, Ai Mingshan.

The old man only has one good leg, one of his legs is empty, and the crutches are placed on the side of the kang.

Sitting next to him sat his wife, Ma.

Ma's body is slightly chubby, his half-gray hair is neatly combed, and although he is wearing coarse cloth clothes, he is neatly cared for, and there is a silver hairpin on his head.

Ai Mingshan lowered his head and drank tea, his face gloomy.

There was a man in his forties sitting on the kang, with a dark face, and at a glance he knew that he was a farmer who often did farm work, he was the eldest of the Ai family, Ai Tiancheng, and sitting next to him was his daughter-in-law Qiu.

Qiu's birth is quite beautiful, and the clothes on her body are all good materials, and her eyes sweep towards Ai Qiaoqiao from time to time, as if looking at the purple men's robe on her body.

Zhong sat on a chair a little farther away with his face pale and his head bowed, his face still bearing the blood marks of the scratches.

"What nonsense!" Old Man Ai banged on the kang table and reprimanded angrily, "I've never heard of anyone's daughter-in-law fighting in the kitchen and burning the pot out." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao obediently leaned on Lan Linyan's side and said nothing.

The old man reprimanded for a long time, but no one in the room spoke.

Ma Shi finally couldn't help it, and scolded, "Why are you dumb, just now they were quite able to break up, and they all said their own reasons, starving you rabbit cubs without a rice pot." ”

The eldest Ai Tiancheng said honestly, "Dad, I'll find someone tomorrow to make up the pot." ”

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Ma Shi rolled his eyes, "It's easy to say, go and mend the pot, do you have any money?" ”

Ai Tiancheng was choked by his mother's words, "This ......"

Qiu quietly stabbed her man in dissatisfaction.

Their family lives, and all the money is in the hands of the Ma family, and of course the Ma family pays for the repair.

Seeing that her eldest son was no longer talking, Ma snorted disdainfully.

Seeing the opportunity, the Qiu family said, "This pot was burned by the second daughter-in-law and the third brother and sister in a fight, so naturally the two of them paid for it." ”

"Why should I pay!" Zhong jumped up all of a sudden, and said to Old Man Ai, "Dad, you always give comments, the girl of the third family will stir up trouble when she enters the door, I am also her elder, she has no conscience so much, and asked me to pick up something......"

Ai Qiaoqiao glanced at her coldly, "You said that I got the epidemic halfway, but the doctor who saved me said that I was fed poison, so how should this matter be calculated." ”

Zhong's face changed suddenly, "You are talking nonsense! ”

"What, the second aunt doesn't believe it? Do you want me to go to the city tomorrow and get the doctor and confront you face to face? Ai Qiaoqiao deliberately used words to trick her.

Zhong was a little panicked, his eyes flickering.

Old Man Ai stared at Zhong twice.

Zhong staggered his gaze and didn't dare to raise his head, but muttered to himself, "But you have wronged me, you knew that I wouldn't go to pick them up." ”

"Okay, the second daughter-in-law doesn't say a word." The old man spoke.

Zhong immediately shut up.

"The second daughter-in-law, did you take the things of the third and their family?" Ma asked.

"I ...... I didn't ......" Zhong looked innocent, "Qiaoqiao's clothes and everything were burned by me, who knew she would come back." Her voice lowered at the last sentence.

Ma's sharp gaze stared at Zhong's face, and swept it a few times, "You go, find a few of your own clothes and change them for Qiao Yatou." ”

Zhong hurriedly responded, got up and went out of the house first.

The other people in the house also went out one after another, and Old Man Ai took one last look at Ai Qiaoqiao and frowned slightly.

Ai Qiaoqiao always felt that the old man had something to say, but until she followed her mother out, she didn't hear what the old man said.

Back in the house, Ai Qiaoqiao checked her mother's baggage and other belongings again.

A heart sank to the bottom: all their jewelry was gone.
