Chapter 13: Stealing
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the crowd dispersed.
Tang Chuyao also patted the dust on the hem of her skirt, got up and walked towards home with the medicine basket on her back.
It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and there is only so much she can help.
Not far from home, Tang Chuyao saw a big-bellied woman lingering at the door by the courtyard.
"Mother, why are you waiting here, hurry up and go into the house to rest."
With that, she tightened the straps on her shoulders and ran towards the door.
"Chu Yao, my mother has seen you go out for a while, and I haven't seen you back for a long time, my mother is worried that something will happen to you like your father."
As he spoke, Rou turned Tang Chuyao's body back and forth with a big belly, and when he saw that she was safe and sound, he was relieved.
"Mother, you don't have to worry about being idle, I'll pay attention."
Tang Chuyao climbed Rou's arm with both hands, and helped her towards the back room with a smile on his face.
A mouthful of white shell teeth like a crescent moon made her smile more and more like a yellow-haired girl.
Rou couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to wipe Tang Chuyao's cheek.
"What's going on? With a face of mud, quickly put down the bamboo basket and go in to wash your face. ”
Feeling Rou's soft and smooth palm, Tang Chuyao's heart warmed, and his eyes were a little sour.
This is a sincere love from her mother, and she will definitely live up to this family affection.
Grinning, Tang Chuyao stuck out his tongue, put down the bamboo basket and trotted towards the wellhead in the courtyard.
After picking up a handful of water and drinking it a few times, she washed her face again, and then regained her previous refreshment.
"The well water in this village is sweet and clear!"
Hearing this, Rou was amused by her satisfied little appearance, and hurriedly handed over the towel and stepped forward.
"Wipe it quickly, didn't you drink this well water from childhood to adulthood? Why haven't you seen you say it's sweet before? ”
Suffered!
It's exposed!
Tang Chuyao was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed into Rou's arms with a coquettish face.
"Mother, it used to be sweet, but today it is especially sweet, haha......"
Seeing that the Rou clan no longer doubted, Tang Chuyao pulled the Rou clan and sat down in the patio.
"Mother, I've gained a lot today!"
As she spoke, she moved the medicine basket to her, proudly placed the herbs in front of Rou Shi one by one, and introduced them in detail.
Rou Shi listened on the side, his eyes were gentle as water, but when he heard Tang Chuyao introduce this herb like a few family treasures, he muttered in his heart.
When did Yao'er understand these herbs?
Is it still the head of the Tao?
Just when Rou was stunned, Tang Chuyao suddenly took out two fat hares from the medicine basket.
"Dangdang, mother, we can add dinner today."
"Wow...... Chu Yao is really amazing. ”
When Rou saw the rabbit that suddenly appeared, she was startled at first, and when she saw it clearly, she couldn't help but be excited.
"Yo, what a baby! Tucked away? ”
Suddenly, Zhao suddenly appeared in the courtyard with his waist in his hands.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, staring directly at the hare in Tang Chuyao's hand.
Seeing that the people were unhappy, Tang Chuyao's face instantly drooped, and the hare in his hand seemed to be not very happy and tossed and struggled twice.
"Grandma, what are you doing at our house?"
She stuffed the rabbit into the medicine basket and got up to stop in front of Zhao.
Zhao Shi stood on tiptoe, glanced at the medicine basket behind Tang Chuyao out of the corner of his eye, and approached the medicine basket while looking at the steps under his feet.
"What are you doing? If you don't come, I don't know that you two are stealing food behind my wife's back, black-hearted things, why don't you kill you! ”
As she spoke, her round and thick arms threw Tang Chuyao's body to the side.
"Get up, do you think I didn't see the old woman?"
Speaking of the hare, Zhao's eyes were full of stars, and she pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a greedy look.
"If you have good things, remember to honor your elders, otherwise you will be damned!"
As he spoke, Zhao lifted the two hares and compared them for a while before throwing the slightly thinner one back into the medicine basket.
"That's it! I'll take it back first, old woman. ”
"Wait!"
Tang Chuyao's face darkened, her voice was low, and her petite body trembled with anger.
"This hare is for my mother's body, you can't take it!"
"Whew!"
When Zhao heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, and after taking a sip, he wrung his eyebrows and stared at Tang Chuyao.
"Your mother's body? I don't know if this fetus can give birth to a handle for our Tang family! Started to make up for it so early? Besides, isn't there another one? ”
It's too much, isn't this a clear robbery?
Just as Tang Chuyao was about to step forward to theorize, Rou grabbed her arm and shook her head gently.
"Mother, take it!"
After speaking, Tang Chuyao looked back at Rou with an unwilling expression.
Rou Shi only sighed helplessly, his thin lips squirmed slightly, and Tang Chuyao immediately understood.
If you don't split up, you still can't make the relationship too stiff.
Seeing that Tang Chuyao pursed his thin lips tightly and didn't speak for a long time, Zhao arrogantly carried the hare in front of them twice, and turned to leave.
She just said!
A dead girl loses money and goods, and she dares to shout in front of her?!
In the end, don't you obediently let her be at her mercy!
Zhao returned to his courtyard satisfied, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly towards the inner room.
"Old man, add dinner tonight, there is something delicious."
The voice was too loud, which caused Tang Jingqing in the courtyard next door to be curious, and she pulled Zhou Luhua and walked towards Zhao's courtyard.
"Mother, grandma seems to have something delicious, let's go and take a look!"
Before Zhou Luhua could react, her body was dragged by Tang Jingqing.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, Tang Jingqing's eyes were straight, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth fell involuntarily.
"Mother, I want to eat a hare!"
Hearing this, Zhou Luhua looked at Tang Jingqing's eyes, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Okay, wait, my mother will go to you."
As she spoke, Zhou Luhua tidied up the crumpled floral cloth shirt on her body, shook her big fat and walked towards Zhao.
"Mother, what a good day today, where did such a fat rabbit come from!"
Seeing Zhou Luhua coming, Zhao's face was not good-looking, and she hid the rabbit behind her.
"Where did the rabbit come from, you see the flowers!"
Want to come to her for a piece of the pie?
There are no doors!
One sentence stunned Zhou Luhua didn't know how to respond, and he was embarrassed on the spot.
Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?
"Mother, you rabbit can't hide it like this! I've seen them all. ”
"Look...... Look at everything, you're so hungry that you'll die if you eat less! ”
Zhao sneered as he rolled his eyes at Zhou Luhua's bucket waist.
Zhou Luhua was a little angry, but she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her elders, so she had to leave in a huff.
"Ahh Dead old woman, iron is not plucked! ”
didn't get oil and water and made a fuss, Zhou Luhua returned to the yard and yelled angrily at Tang Chunsheng, who was working.
"Your mother is too much, we treat her well on weekdays! Now it's okay to get a hare and want to swallow it alone, and say I'm fat! ”
As she spoke, Zhou Luhua shrugged her shoulders and the heavy fat on her chest, and beat Zhou Chunsheng angrily.
