Chapter 68: Asking the bottom of the question
"I, I said, my brother taught me the words." Liuli swallowed her saliva, nervous beyond measure, she didn't mind telling her origin, she was afraid that this person wouldn't believe it, the soul crossed or something, it sounded like witchcraft, if she was caught in the government or simply burned to death, wouldn't it be unjustly killed?
"You're investigating me behind my back?" Ruri stammered and asked.
"There are so many suspicions about you, isn't it worth investigating?" Zhao Mingxu asked rhetorically.
"I ...... I ...... "Ruri's back was sweaty, her eyes were wandering, and her brain was racing, thinking of the right words.
Zhao Mingxu knew that she was about to start lying, and suddenly took a step back: "That's it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, and you don't have to bother making it up." ”
The space in front of him suddenly opened up a lot, and Liuli exhaled softly.
"Actually, these foods are not what I came up with", Liuli fixed his mind, half-truths and half-truths, "Last year, I was seriously ill, in a coma in bed for several days, half-dreaming and half-waking seemed to enter another world, where the life of people is very novel, and the degree of food and clothing is also different from ours, I learned a lot of things out of curiosity." After waking up, he no longer wanted to endure his aunt's cruelty, so he took his younger siblings out to live. ”
"It's just that we have no land and no land, and we really don't know what to live on, so I got out the food I learned in my dream."
After Liuli finished speaking, he quietly watched the other party's reaction, and he didn't know if he believed it.
The latter was noncommittal, silent for a while, and finally retreated to a safe distance, and said lightly: "Whether it's a dream or a family heirloom, it's just that you don't shy away from it, and sooner or later you will attract the attention of people with a heart, and then it won't be you who can make up a story at will." ”
Today, he checked her out more out of curiosity, and it was just a temptation just now, and he didn't plan to really ask for the truth, but Zhao Mingxu finally warned her with kind words.
Ruri nodded silently.
It's been a while since the two of them left, and Liuli was still a little stunned, thinking of what the man said at the end, she was also shocked into a cold sweat, it seems that she will act by herself in the future, and she must be more careful, and she must not be so high-profile again.
"The two sons are gone?" Pearl came in, saw her sister sitting there in a daze, and asked.
"Oh, "Ruri came back to her senses" and left. ”
"I don't look like ordinary people, how did my sister know that?"
"The last time I was robbed by bandits, they came to the rescue, and we met." Liuli didn't think twice and blurted out.
"Bandit robbery?!" Pearl exclaimed, "You've met a bandit?" When was this? ”
"Ahh Liuli suddenly reacted, she was afraid that her sister would worry about this, so she never said it, but she didn't expect to accidentally leak just now: "Hey, it's just a thrill, but fortunately, the two sons came to the rescue." ”
Liuli giggled, trying to cover up the past.
Pearl didn't spare her, sat down and said, "What's going on, you tell me in detail." ”
Liuli couldn't, so she had to tell Pearl about the matter, including the two villains and the shopkeeper of Shunfangzhai who went to prison, of course, omitted many thrilling processes.
"Speaking of which, the shop we bought this time is that Shunfangzhai." Liuli successfully shifted the topic to the present: "In two days, our 'soy sauce' and 'bean curd' will almost be ready, and when the time comes, the shop will be cleaned up, and it will open on an auspicious day." ”
Shopkeeper Zhou helped people to the end, after Shunfangzhai vacated, he sent a guy to clean up, but it was empty, Shopkeeper Zhou specially asked Liuli if he wanted to arrange it first, and Liuli refused.
It's a shop for my sister, but it's still necessary to wait for Pearl to arrange it herself.
After another two days, the bean curd and soy sauce at home were finally made, and the tofu was fermented, and the bean curd made completely changed, fresh and salty, and delicious, which was a good accompaniment to the meal.
Soy sauce is even more magical, just put some in the dish, you can enhance the flavor and freshness, it is really rare.
"With these two things, the shop will definitely be able to do a prosperous business." Pearl said happily.
During this period, Shi Yong also came secretly a few times, knowing the progress here, and he was also full of gratitude to his second sister Liuli. It's just a big man's family, his emotions are not good to the outside, and he only doubles his good for pearls.
Everything was ready, and Liuli accompanied Pearl back to Shi's house.
"Brother and sister still know to come back? I also said that we will marry another child in a few days. "The second daughter-in-law of the Shi family, Li, is six or seven months pregnant, and she has a very obvious big belly, but she has to sit here and watch the excitement.
In the main hall of the Shi family, the old lady and the old man sat on the main seat, the eldest daughter-in-law stood on the left hand, and the Li family and her husband Shi Qiang sat on the right hand side with a big belly.
Standing in the hall are Shi Yong, Pearl and Liuli, which was originally a housework of the Shi family, and Liuli is actually inappropriate here, but she insisted on supporting her sister, so she stayed.
"The second sister-in-law laughed," Shi Yong said, "Zhen Niang is just homesick, and she went back to her mother's house to live for a while." ”
"Even if you are homesick, it is really not good for a woman to live in her mother's house for so many days." The old lady of the Shi family spoke.
"That's it," Li answered, "The head of the family is saying goodbye to San Lang, but you, the head lady, went back to her parents' house at this time, and those who know say that your younger brother and sister miss home, and those who don't know are jealous of your younger brother and sister, and you can't see that there are others in San Lang's room, so you are angry with your mother-in-law and go back to your parents' house." ”
Saying this, he successfully provoked the resentment that the old lady of the Shi family had accumulated for many days, and just now she was still afraid that Liuli was here, and her face suddenly turned cold: "You really don't want to take a concubine?" ”
"Mother, it's not that Zhenniang doesn't want to, it's really that the son doesn't want to take a concubine." Shi Yong immediately said.
"Shut up", Mrs. Shi scolded, "Look at your eldest brother and second brother, how old are Guibao now, although your eldest brother's family is two daughters, in the end he also has children, your second sister-in-law is pregnant again, but you are empty under your knees, and you don't know how to worry?" ”
Li proudly stroked her high bulging belly, she wanted to see how today's events ended. These days, she is holding back a fire in her heart, the third daughter-in-law is getting better and better, because of her mother's family, the old lady still values her a little more, obviously she is the one who is pregnant, why does she wear red and green to live such a comfortable life?
"Zhen Niang is still young," Shi Yong argued, "there is still time in the future, so why should Mother be in a hurry at this time." ”
"It's been more than two years, and your daughter-in-law still hasn't moved, and now there is just a suitable one, so she will enter the door, and by this time next year, maybe you will have a son around your knees."
Before Shi Yong could speak, he was glared at fiercely by Mrs. Shi, and then turned to Pearl who had never spoken: "Since you are back, you will give a clear word about this concubine, is it willing or unwilling?" ”
