Chapter 37: The Secret of the Chen Family
As if he was a little embarrassed to be so greedy, Xie Jinlan smiled shyly: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
Lin's fat hand raised: "Hey, what is there to thank for!" ”
Thinking about the copper plate in Xie Jinlan's purse, Li Tiegen stepped forward: "Then I'll take Brother Jinlan back first." ”
Thinking of what Li Tiegen told her, the hard work of the three copper plates, Lin let the two leave very happily.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Xiaoya's thin and short figure, and Lin suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Dead girl, move quickly!" Do you want to be lazy? I'll tell you......"
At the first glance of Xie Jinlan, Zhang's face was not very good: Did this kid find out that he was cheated, and now he wants to get back those copper plates?
But when he learned that he was here to buy dates, Zhang's suddenly laughed into a flower: "You kid is knowledgeable, come and come, hurry up and sit in the kitchen first." ”
Then she looked at Li Tiegen next to her: "Tiegen, hurry up and pick dates!" Remember, pick the big, sweet one! ”
Li Tiegen responded with a smile: "Mother, you can rest assured!" ”
After entering the kitchen and sitting down, Xie Jinlan looked up and saw Chen Shi chopping firewood in the backyard, and Ruan Yezhen following her.
Xie Jinlan suddenly suddenly: No wonder I didn't see this girl beside Li Xiaoya.
Immediately, his eyebrows twisted slightly: Did this person take his words as a deaf ear?
Ruan Yezhen, who was not far away, heard the movement, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Xie Jinlan who was talking with Zhang.
She couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and quickly floated to Xie Jinlan's side: "Xie Jinlan, has there been progress in the case?" ”
Xie Jinlan glanced at her without a trace.
Ruan Yezhen was slightly stunned, and then laughed again:
"I don't have a yin or a yin. Last night, I discovered a big secret of the Chan family. It's just that when I went to look for you this morning, you weren't at Li Daniu's house.
So I came back and kept staring at her. I was thinking of looking for you again in a while, but I didn't think about it, but you came by yourself. ”
Xie Jinlan listened to Zhang's boast with a smile, and at the same time pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Ruan Yezhen's words.
When Ruan Yezhen's words fell, he glanced at her without a trace.
Ruan Yezhen's eyes were a little puzzled, and she asked tentatively: "Is this what I mean by letting me say the secret directly?" ”
Xie Jinlan nodded almost invisibly.
Thinking of the scene she saw last night, Ruan Yezhen's chest suddenly gathered a cloud of anger, and she couldn't help but glared at Chen not far away with hatred:
"I always thought that Chen's behavior of not standing up for Li Xiaoya was very cowardly, but after all, he was also a poor person. But who would have thought that she would be such a vicious woman! I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart! ”
Last night, when Ruan Yezhen watched Xiaobai wander left and right on the trunk of the tree with great interest, a trace of movement suddenly came into her ears from under the tree.
Following the prestige, I saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing under the tree.
Who's going to be here in the big night?
With such a question, Ruan Yezhen floated to the bottom of the tree.
With the help of the moonlight, Ruan Yezhen saw clearly who the two were!
What did Chen do here with Li Xiaoya secretly?
Could it be that she feels that her daughter has suffered too many grievances during the day and wants to make up for something?
Thinking like this, Ruan Yezhen's face suddenly showed a little joy.
It's just that the next moment, Chen's actions made the smile on her face suddenly freeze, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Chen changed his submissive demeanor in the past, and his face was a little more fierce and vicious.
I saw her raise her hand and pinch Li Xiaoya fiercely without hesitation.
Li Xiaoya shrank from time to time because of the pain. But she pursed her lips, and not even a muffled snort escaped from her mouth. Her expression was numb, and she didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding resistance.
Looking at this, this kind of thing is not once or twice.
Halfway through, the stunned Ruan Yezhen came back to her senses and shouted at Chen:
"Stop, you wicked woman! Xiaoya is your own daughter! How can you do it! It's your mother-in-law who makes you angry, what kind of ability do you vent on an innocent little girl! ”
It's a pity that her voice can't reach Chen's ears.
Seeing that Chen stopped his movements because he was tired, Ruan Yezhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that before she could completely relax her breath, Chen took out a willow branch hidden in her waist and slapped Li Xiaoya's body fiercely.
Xu was afraid that he would alarm others, so Chen didn't say a word during the whole process.
Under the quiet jujube tree, only the subtle sound of the willow branches beating on Li Xiaoya's body remained.
Ruan Yezhen on the side could only grit her teeth and watch, unable to help at all.
Looking at the distorted pleasure on Chen's face, looking at Li Xiaoya's hands to protect her face, she was silent, as if she was numb.
Ruan Yezhen only felt that her nose was sour and her eyes were astringent. Tears soon blurred her vision.
At this moment, she was extremely angry at her powerlessness......
After listening to Ruan Yezhen's indignant account, Xie Jinlan's eyebrows furrowed almost invisibly. His gaze couldn't help but fall on the hard-working Chen not far away.
Zhang didn't notice Xie Jinlan's abnormality at all, and was still boasting.
After the fluctuating emotions in her heart eased a little, Ruan Yezhen immediately said her guess:
"Xie Jinlan, do you think the Chen family will be the murderer of Li Bao'er? You see, she can be so cruel to her own daughter. It's hard to guarantee that you will be resentful because of your mother-in-law's partiality and make a big mistake.
I've been here for so long, but I've never heard Chan speak. If she could speak, even if it was a word, I would be sure if she was a murderer. ”
When Xie Jinlan heard this, he was slightly suspicious in his heart, but there was no difference on his face. Then he interrupted Zhang's words with a smile in his eyes: "Auntie, why don't you see Brother Tiezhu?" ”
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and a touch of worry appeared between his eyebrows: "Could it be that Brother Tiezhu's illness is not cured yet?" ”
Zhang's face was unimpressed:
"He's been cured! It's just that a person as big as him can't stay at home all the time, right? Our family is so poor, how can we live with a family without money! So after a few days of recuperation, I asked him to go to the town to find a job. ”
Xie Jinlan nodded clearly, as if inadvertently mentioned: "Seeing that my sister-in-law is so thin, this strength is quite big." ”
Zhang glanced at Chen, who was chopping wood, and pouted in disgust: "That's what she can do." It's been more than ten years since I got married, and I gave birth to a money-losing product for our iron pillar. ”
Ruan Yezhen on the side looked at Zhang very dissatisfied: "You don't look down on women like this, why don't you dislike yourself?" ”
