Chapter 139: The Missing Egg

Ye Xiaoying asked him while chopping vegetables: "You told them that we don't have rice at home, let them cook by themselves." ”

Every time my cousin came, she would search for a few household utensils from their house, and gradually it became more and more empty, and the two of them lived in a chic and comfortable way almost without spending a penny every day.

Ye Xiaoying and Li Tiezhu have a busy day, and they have to cook for them.

Gradually, Ye Xiaoying only felt that she was losing weight, but her cousin was even more white and fat. At noon that day, she finally finished her work at home, and Ye Xiaoying returned to the room step by step with her tired waist.

She was about to lie down and rest for a while, but at this time, the door was pushed open with a bang, which startled Ye Xiaoying, and quickly got up, at this time, there was a sharp pain in her waist, she held back strongly, sweated profusely on her forehead, and looked at her cousin standing at the door with dissatisfaction.

"Xiaoying, they say you have a lot of sugar at home, are they?"

"Nope. If we have such good things, how can we not even afford to eat? ”

My cousin's face immediately fell, and she muttered, "Isn't it just a question, and I won't be so white-robbed, how can I say that I am also your elder." ”

Her muttering voice was louder than the voice of ordinary people, Ye Xiaoying held back her anger after hearing it, and when her cousin left, she slammed the door, making her heart fall high and heavy, caressing her heart, closing her eyes and biting her lip.

In the evening, Ye Xiaoying completely showdown with Li Tiezhu, "I can't stand your pair of relatives." Tell me, the two of them don't work and just eat, I can bear it and respect them as elders.

But from time to time they rummage through our things, and point at my house every day, do you think you can live this life? Ye Xiaoying was annoyed.

Li Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dry smile: "It's not wow, it used to be like this in our family, the big family is like this, don't take it to heart, if you think she is rummaging things around, I will explain to her when the time comes!" ”

Ye Xiaoying's eyes were firmly fixed on Li Tiezhu's body, as if she couldn't believe it, she fell asleep with her flat mouth and covered her head.

Li Tiezhu patted her gently on the side, "Lady! But Ye Xiaoying was silent.

Recently, Ye Xiaoying has never seen a single egg laid by a hen several times. In the past, there were four or five every day, but now there wasn't even one, and she couldn't help but wonder.

Seeing her cousin wandering around the yard from time to time, Ye Xiaoying asked casually, "Cousin, did you pick up the eggs in the basket?" ”

The cousin's eyes dodged, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, these chickens you raise look weird and scary, and I usually stay away!" ”

The chickens are still scary, the first day they came, Ye Xiaoying killed a chicken, she ate happily, and the white meat was put into her bowl, I didn't hear her say that the chicken was scary, it was really strange!

Waiting until the next day, Ye Xiaoying had an extra heart, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she was about to wash the dishes, there was no voice from her cousin outside, Ye Xiaoying's heart moved, and then walked to the window.

One of the kitchen windows is facing the yard. Because of the blank paper, it is difficult to see the scenery of the courtyard. On this day, Ye Xiaoying's fingers were dipped in water and pierced the white paper, and her eyes came together, and not long ago, she really saw her cousin sneaking into the courtyard.

As she walked forward, she kept looking back, and when she reached the front of the hen's coop, she took out a piece of cloth from her bosom, and in one fell swoop, she bent five times, quickly wrapped the white cloth, and then put it in her sleeve.

After doing all this, she straightened her waist and walked with a swagger, very proud.

Just eating and drinking here is not counting the same thing, Ye Xiaoying really wanted to rush up and question, what she couldn't bear the most was this kind of stealing, and now the eggs they made at every meal were the original ones.

The two of them don't cook at all in the old house, what are the eggs going to do?

Ye Xiaoying saw her cousin leave the yard, she immediately ran back to the stove and scooped water and began to wash the dishes, and her cousin's head poked over, "Xiaoying, are you busy?" Haha, my cousin went back to rest! ”

Without waiting for Ye Xiaoying to answer, her head immediately retracted. Li Tiezhu returned from carrying water from outside, and Ye Xiaoying told him about it.

Li Tiezhu then suddenly realized, "No wonder when I met her just now, I looked at her sleeves heavily, like carrying a stone, but I didn't expect it to be our eggs, she is really, so embarrassing." ”

"This incident happened to be an opportunity, you made it clear to them, and said that these eggs were given to her by us, didn't she still have a daughter? Let her go back to her daughter's place, we can't afford to raise her here!" ”

Li Tiezhu looked embarrassed at the moment, he put the flat pole in the corner, and sat down on the stool next to him, "Lady, you don't know, two days ago she asked about the ten taels of silver that my family got from selling rabbits!" ”

"You told her about the money?" Ye Xiaoying was terrified, being targeted by them was like a raging wind, and there was no grass.

"Nope!" Li Tiezhu shook his head again and again, "How can our money be known to others?" It's because when the shopkeeper handed me over the silver, they happened to pass by, and they must have seen this scene! ”

No wonder this is the case, then everything is easy to explain, and the ultimate goal of the two of them is this silver. I thought that she and Li Tiezhu were rich people, so they came to toss on purpose.

"Lady, you must take away the silver, I haven't seen them for many years, and I can't drive them away!" Li Tiezhu looked embarrassed, and Ye Xiaoying also understood him.

It's just that Ye Xiaoying still insisted, "Such a person can't get used to it, the more we get used to her, the more trouble we will have when the time comes, and we have to cut through the mess quickly!" ”

Li Tiezhu nodded straight, reassuring Ye Xiaoying.

"Lady, I will, I will find an opportunity to persuade them."

In the next few days, Ye Xiaoying could pick up two or three eggs when she went to the chicken coop again, but she could still see her cousin sneaking to touch the chicken coop.

It can be seen that she must have learned that her behavior was exposed, but she still couldn't control her greed, Ye Xiaoying turned from white rice to thick rice porridge, and her aunt and uncle expressed dissatisfaction.

My cousin touched my fat belly and complained to my cousin-in-law: "Look, I'm old now, how can I drink thin food, look at it, my stomach growls just after eating!" ”

Ye Xiaoying said to them with a smile: "Cousin, Tie Zhu and I are very happy to come back here, but it's been half a month, and you have someone in your family who needs to take care of it."

Although Li Tiezhu and I have fields, we plant all the medicinal herbs we want to use, and as for other hunting and other things, we are not well-off, we know that my cousin and uncle are distressed about the juniors! ”
