Chapter Forty-Nine: Exploring Fire
"The point is," Li gritted his teeth and said, "her grandmother wanted to force her mother to sell her third and fourth sisters so that she could marry a few cousins and daughters-in-law, and directly deducted their family's rations." ”
Ye Yuran immediately understood, why the Li family suspected that the Lin family stole the sweet potato.
In this case, who can not be impressed to see that they have found a piece of sweet potato at home again?
Although sweet potatoes are not as hungry as millet, they are not thin, and they are not cakes or roasted sweet potatoes or steamed sweet potatoes.
It was already difficult before the autumn harvest, and at this time, the rations were deducted by the old house, can the life of the mother's family still be lived?
In this case, it's normal to have some bad ideas.
"What about you?" Ye Yuran didn't believe that the Li family would have this kind of thought, not "to save people".
Lee's heart was pounding.
"Last time, you had to go back to your parents' house once, and then you didn't go back, so you didn't have any ideas?"
"Mother, I didn't steal the family's food. Li was anxious and immediately defended, "I exchanged it for something." ”
She used jam and asked Dabao and Erbao to help publicize it among the children, so that the adults in the family had to take a little food to exchange jam with her.
"Mother, I didn't get much, originally, jam is not valuable, and people don't have money, so I can take so many things for me to eat. ”
"It's not easy for everyone now, so there are also people on credit. I'll forget it, the jam is worth a little bit of flour, as long as I don't lose the flour money, I'll change it. This thing is cheaper than a sugar gourd for two pennies, right?"
"Then a spoonful, wrapped in clean leaves, a little bit for the children in the family, is more or less a snack. If you are really reluctant, you can take it to improve the food at home and change the taste. ”
To be honest, Ye Yuran really didn't expect Li to be so economically minded, and a little jam was played by her.
She said, why does Li love jam so much, and it is made twice in three days, it turns out that it is not made for herself, but used to "exchange" food.
Later, Li also learned her method of making crab paste, replaced the flour with sweet potato puree, and boiled it out, sticky and thick. It's just that Ye Yuran felt weird, she didn't like to eat, and when she saw that it was all things at home, she didn't care about her.
Pregnant women, there is nothing good to gluttony her mouth, Lin just likes to eat a few bites of jam, Ye Yuran really didn't feel anything.
"Mother, are you angry?" Li asked cautiously, "There really aren't many things, so I filled a little bit in a basket and asked someone to send it to my mother's family." ”
Gritting his teeth, Li also said, "If my mother doesn't believe me, you can come into my house and have a look, and I will have some small red fruits and other fruits left." ”
Those fruits were naturally left by the Li family to gluttony their mouths.
As a pregnant woman, her mouth really can't stop, and she also knows that her mother's family must not lack this wild fruit, what she lacks is something that can fill her stomach.
So whoever exchanged so many handfuls of wild vegetables and a small spoonful of rice bran with her, she changed them all.
Li also knew that her behavior was a bit like eating her mother-in-law's house, but she was trying to make up for her mother's "white-eyed wolf", but she couldn't help it.
Although she has brothers, their family is also in difficulty, and every year during the autumn harvest, her father and her brother can take off a layer of skin and take care of it for a winter.
Ye Yuran asked, "In addition to the jam exchange, did you take anything else?"
Lee's branch is not enough.
"If you take it, you take it, if you don't take it, you don't take it, as long as you are honest and honest, this matter will be over. Ye Yuran said.
"If I really want to say it, won't my mother be angry?" Li Shi looked at her face carefully.
Ye Yuran's face did not move, and said, "Just be honest." ”
"I just took some sun-dried sweet potato chips...... "Li Shi whispered, and quickly explained, "Mother, I really don't take much, just a bowl, a bowl." I also know that there is not much food at home, and the eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and fifth brother and sister will definitely take it, but I am afraid that my mother will find out, so I don't dare to take me. I promise that I will definitely take less than them. ”
Ye Yuran was almost angry.
What, in Li's opinion, she is right to take less?
If you take less, you don't steal the family's food?
If it weren't for the fact that the previous promise had been released, she really wanted to teach this daughter-in-law a lesson.
"How big is the bowl?"
Li's momentum immediately weakened again: "Big soup bowl...... But mother, I didn't fill it up, so I didn't load it for most of the night. ”
"Huh!"
Li Shi was anxious: "Mother, you just said that you are not angry? Didn't you say that as long as I honestly explain this matter, it will be over?"
"Are you honest? I'll ask a little, you say a little, is this an honest confession? Ah, let me ask you, if there is something in your mother's family, you tell me in advance, can I still let you take nothing?"
"Ah! If I had told me in advance, would my mother really let me take it?"
"Do you really know how to grasp the key point? Is this the key point that I asked you to grasp? I asked you to tell me something, hey, it's not secretly doing it behind my back, whether you are a big bowl, or a small bowl, or a slice, you secretly take food from home behind my back, isn't this stealing?"
"It's not stealing, it's taking ......," Lee argued.
"There is a difference, did you ask me? Do I agree? I don't ask my master, and if you take someone else's thing without someone else's permission, you steal it. ”
As soon as Li saw his mother-in-law's cold voice, he immediately admitted his mistake, saying that he knew that he was wrong and would never dare to do it again.
"If you really know, you have to keep in mind what I said, is what I told you nonsense? You are my daughter-in-law, the person who will live with my son for the rest of my life, or my grandson and his mother, don't I want you to be good? If you are not good, what will happen to my son and my grandson?"
Li lowered her head, she didn't expect her mother-in-law to say to her like this, "I thought ...... You won't agree if you say it. ”
"I won't agree, you just do it behind my back? You don't know what to convince me, what is this mouth for? Except for eating and breathing, you can't speak?"
Although Ye Yuran said that he would not punish the Li family, he still scolded the Li family severely.
This kind of unhealthy trend must not be promoted, otherwise she will work hard to develop and strengthen the Zhu family in the future, she will work hard in the front, and a group of people who dig the wall and drag her back will make her angry.
If she wants such a group of draggers, she might as well reconcile with Old Man Zhu directly, feed the whole family alone and not be hungry, how refreshing, how sad and worrying about it is now.
When Li Shi heard that this matter was over like this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then praised Ye Yuran again, saying that there is no such good mother-in-law in the world.
