Chapter 13: The Old Lady's Thoughts

In the evening, when the old lady beckoned the two daughters-in-law to cook, she felt that the eldest daughter-in-law looked a little trance, and even cut her fingers when cutting vegetables, which could be seen from the large pool of blood flowing.

However, when she saw a large pool of blood on the board, the old lady was still a little unbearable.

Knowing that the eldest daughter-in-law was stumped by the two ingots of silver, in the past, the eldest son worked in the county, and the old lady naturally knew how much she would harvest every month, except for most of the money handed over to herself, and secretly gave the eldest daughter-in-law a few copper plates as pocket money, and the old lady didn't think there was anything abnormal about it.

But if you want to talk about two silver ingots, the big house really doesn't have it, even if you let the old man smash the pot and sell iron, he can't make it up, the old lady knows this, as for why she asked the old man to ask for two silver ingots, to put it mildly, it is because of the bracelet of the third room.

That bracelet can be worth a silver ingot, if you want to say that you have more eyesight, talk to the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, and you can also give more melons and dates. In addition to the private money saved by the eldest daughter-in-law in the past few years, it is not impossible to get together two silver ingots.

In the final analysis, the old lady didn't believe that the bracelet of the third daughter-in-law was taken away by Xiaojie's child, the third daughter-in-law usually pays more attention to the bracelet, and the old lady is not uncounted.

Therefore, at the beginning, the old lady really wanted to blow up the private money of the big house in the past few years, and she relied on the big house. But yesterday, the third son came to the door in person and said by name that the bracelet was taken away by the big house.

This situation is different, if this comes out of the mouth of the third daughter-in-law, the old lady can only believe three points at most, and the remaining seven points are left in her heart, but since the third child came to the door in person, the old lady is unreserved, ten out of ten believe.

So there was a matter of going to Dafang's house in the afternoon to ask for two silver ingots, and the old lady also knew that the reason why the old man asked for two silver ingots was more of a kind of knocking on the big house, and the child stole something, and the adult not only did not hand it over, but also concealed it, which was the real reason why the old man was angry.

Originally, the old lady trusted the words of the third son, but at this time, seeing the bloodstains on the board and the wooden look of the eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady was a little shaken, in the end, it was an old man who had eaten food for decades, she had seen it, she had passed a lot, and the old lady could see from the expression of the big house that the big house was obviously wrong.

It doesn't look like I've taken a bracelet.

This is the feeling in the old lady's heart, but on the other hand, the third son's promise made the old lady a little confused, which side lied?

The hesitant old lady looked at the third daughter-in-law who was burning the pot on the stove, and was silent a lot, not as happy as usual, which made the old lady more willing to believe the words of the third son, if the bracelet was not lost, the third daughter-in-law would not have this expression.

When she went to wash the vegetables by the well water, the old lady was absent-minded, and her mind was the expression of Dafang Muran, and the old man had a pair of bright big eyes. After a while, the third son swore again.

When she took out a basin of water from the water tank and was about to wash the vegetables, the old lady who was suddenly stunned felt that she had just seen something, and suddenly came back to her senses, and immediately looked towards the water tank again, and sure enough, a shiny thing was lying under the water.

If it weren't for the lack of water in the tank, the old lady's eyes might not be able to see what was shining in the tank.

He stretched out his head into the water tank, and then it took a lot of effort to get the bright thing in the water tank.

When she held it in her hand, the old lady's expression was a little stunned.

Well, it's the bracelet of the three rooms.

This jade bracelet was naturally recognized by the old lady, and it had been worn around the neck of her third daughter-in-law for nearly ten years. The old lady could naturally recognize it at a glance.

"Dead woman, she got it out of the water tank by herself, relying on this, relying on that, the family is not stable." The old lady who cursed secretly glanced into the kitchen, and then put the bracelet in the cuff.

When the old lady washed the dishes and returned to the kitchen, the cauldron was already smoking, and she instructed the third daughter-in-law to cook a small pot to fry the vegetables, and the old lady suddenly asked:

"Hao Ziniang, are you sure that your bracelet was taken by Dafang? Don't drop it somewhere, I'm looking for it, maybe I'll turn it out. ”

"Mother, I'll tell you the truth, that bracelet was taken by Zhang Jie's dead child, he took it, if he doesn't give it to his mother, who can he give it to? Mother, you also know that the bracelet is for Xiao Hao's education this year, where is the sister-in-law taking a bracelet, it is clear that she doesn't want my Xiao Hao to learn. Liu, who gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes and said.

While stir-frying the vegetables in her hand, the old lady asked casually: "You looked at Xiaojie and took it?" ”

"Mother, apart from him, who else in the family can be as skinny as him, when he burned the firewood stack in the wheat field, if several children didn't identify it, he lit the fire, mother, you said that he didn't die in the end and didn't admit it. Unless you catch that kid, he's a dead duck. ”

The old lady who was busy stir-frying didn't take care of the chatter of the third room, but felt more and more that the kid from the big house had been wronged.

"Could it be that the ignition half a year ago was the same as this time, and there was another secret?" Now that she knew that the Dafang family was wronged this time, the old lady wondered for the first time what happened half a year ago, whether she had also wronged that kid.

Taking advantage of the cooking in the third room, the old lady went to the hall, and when she handed the bracelet to the old man, and then told the matter as it was, the old man with the bracelet in his hand groaned slightly, and his face also fell.

"Old man, since you have wronged someone's big house, you can't count the two silver ingots, otherwise the big house will really smash the pot and sell iron, even if Xiaojie is sold, you won't be able to make up the two silver ingots." Seeing that the old man didn't speak, he remembered that the eldest daughter-in-law must be worried about the two silver ingots, and if he couldn't get the two silver ingots at that time, don't really do anything stupid over there in the big house.

"You said that this military flag is true, the boss is not small, he has read the sage books for more than 20 years, why is he still so indiscriminate, he is so mixed, you look at the family trouble." Flicked his sleeves, the ugly old man said dissatisfied.

"Don't blame the military flag, if it weren't for Hao Ziniang's upside down, the military flag wouldn't have come to the door so blindly, I think, in the end, the military flag is still held by Hao Ziniang. At night, I sent the bracelet to Hao Ziniang, and this matter was over, and no one would mention it in the future. ”

The old lady was about to send the bracelet to the third room, but saw the old man take the bracelet back, and then said with a straight face: "I'll give it to her when I eat at night, and see what else she can say." ”

When it was time to eat in the evening, the Wang family with white sand wrapped in his hands felt that the atmosphere on the dinner table was very strange, the old man and the old lady looked at themselves several times and stopped talking, and the Wang family, who was a little bitter in his heart, only regarded the old couple as urging himself to ask for two ingots of silver, and his heart became more and more depressed, and he had no appetite, and now he was not without appetite, so he hurriedly pulled out a mouthful of food, and was about to go back to the house, when he heard the old man say:

"Old family, don't be in a hurry to leave, just take advantage of the fact that the family is here, they are all family, let's talk about things, and there will be nothing, the third family, do you see if this is the bracelet you lost?"

When he said these words, he saw that the old man took out a bright jade bracelet from his cuff, and then threw it into the third room, and the old man's expression was not very good-looking.

Looking at the bracelet on the dining table, just by looking at it, Liu recognized it, it was definitely his own, and he had followed his own things for ten years, even if he was blind, Liu could also recognize it.

However, thinking that this bracelet was actually taken out of the old man's hand, this made Liu a little confused, so he didn't dare to recognize each other for a while.

"Looks like this bracelet." The third uncle, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the bracelet in his hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said to the Liu family beside him: "Look at it, this is it." ”

At this time, Liu Shi was not easy to pretend, took the bracelet and pretended to look at it a few times, and then nodded: "Well, it's my bracelet." Dad, how can it be in your hands? ”

"Your mother found it in the water tank, and she lost it without a long heart, and blame this, blame that, look at what a good family makes you toss, and there is a home." In front of the third son, this is a very serious lesson, the old man with a straight face is naturally extremely majestic at this time, even if it is the Liu family, he can only bow his head and admit his mistakes at this time.

"Grandpa, the bracelet of the third aunt's family has been found, doesn't it mean that the bracelet is for Haozi Meng's expenses, since the bracelet has been found, then my family doesn't need to give two ingots of silver to Xiao Haomeng to learn."

When he saw the boy from the big house family looking straight at him with his eyes open, the old man with a tiger face and his head gave a sigh of encouragement, which was regarded as an agreement.

In the end, she still didn't want to see the third family lose face, and the old lady said again: "Let's eat, no one should mention this matter in the future, and whoever mentions it again don't blame the old lady for turning my face." ”

It's all said to this, if anyone dares to say a word at this time, it really doesn't know whether to live or die, as for the kid in the big room who was wronged, he was wronged, what's the matter, a child, do you want an adult to apologize to you?

When eating with his head down, Zhang Jie obviously felt that Wang felt relieved. What this woman thinks about the most now is that she doesn't have to worry about two ingots of silver, as for being wronged by the old man and the old lady, the Wang family doesn't dare to think about crying out.

At this time, Zhang Jie, who originally wanted to talk about it, had no choice but to pout after being glared at fiercely by the old lady, not daring to say anything, there is no way, living in such a family, the old man and the old lady are the emperor of the soil, and the word 'filial piety' is not something that is said casually.

Looking at the third aunt who was holding the bracelet into his arms, Zhang Jie suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and in the depths of his eyes, a strange light flashed.

After dinner, Zhang Jie deliberately circled around Wang's a few times, and after seeing Wang's regained looks, he smiled and said: "Mother, I just said that the bracelet was not taken by me, you should believe me this time." ”

"Yes!" Obviously, without two ingots of silver pressed on her body, Wang's whole body was a lot more relaxed, holding Zhang Jie's hand, her left hand was injured when she was chopping vegetables, so the old lady took care of her after dinner and did not let Wang wash the dishes.

When the two of them went back to the house to rest, a stunned scream suddenly sounded in the third room.

"What's wrong with your third aunt's house?" Wang, who was taken aback, glanced outside the door, his face was full of strangeness, it stands to reason that Sanfang found the bracelet, he should be happy, how could he make such a fuss? I was about to go out to see what was going on, but I was grabbed by the little kid on the side.

"Mother, other people's family affairs, let's not join in the fun. If you go now, people will have to blame you if you don't get it. ”

"Your third aunt is screaming so loudly, so loudly, I'll go see what's going on, don't something happen." Originally, Wang wanted to say that it was miserable, but it was a bit bad to say it in front of the child, so he temporarily changed his words.

"What can she do, at most, she finds that the bracelet is a little broken, and it is not as bright as it used to be, except for the bracelet, mother, what else do you say can make the third aunt so hysterical."

Rolling his eyes, Zhang Jie dragged the surprised Wang back to the house, and then reflexively locked the door, and after hearing the ghost crying wolf howl from next door, Zhang Jie, who had a slight hook on the corner of his mouth, said softly: "Eat the consequences." Therefore, to be a man, you can't be too desperate. ”
