"Okay, I see, you've been busy all day, go back early and rest. Ye Yuran asked them not to squeak, and sent them away.

If they catch thieves and dirty, they don't catch anyone, how can they be sure that someone stole them?

Maybe it's a mistake, maybe the oyster stole it, who knows?

"Mother, that's it?" Zhu Bamei waited for the two sisters-in-law to leave, came over, and whispered, "Someone has stolen things from the house." ”

"How do you know that someone stole it?" Ye Yuran asked.

"It's not someone who stole it, what else can it be? Isn't this an obvious thing? Besides, it's not the first time that several sisters-in-law have done this kind of thing......" In the last sentence, Zhu Bamei said even quieter.

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

"No, I've heard from others. ”

Ye Yuran was a little speechless: "When you listen to a sister-in-law say bad things about another sister-in-law, you don't have any ideas in your heart?"

"What do you think?" Zhu Bamei was at a loss.

"Who do you think will talk about others behind their backs?" asked Ye Yuran.

"Uh," Zhu Bamei understood what her mother meant, and was a little embarrassed, "Mother, I didn't mean to speak ill of them, I mean really, I really heard them say this." ”

"When did you say that?"

Zhu Bamei recalled for a moment and said: "Before the autumn harvest, at that time, the family had just dug up sweet potatoes in the mountains, and they stole them once. ”

"What happened later?" Ye Yuran induced and continued to ask.

"Later, it seems that there is no more," Zhu Bamei asked a little incomprehensibly, "Later, didn't my mother let them hold the money in their hands, what was there at home, and my mother also took the initiative to let them send some back to their parents' house, and they sent it all, what else did they steal?"

"Then have you ever thought about why they stole before and didn't steal later?" Ye Yuran asked meaningfully.

Zhu Bamei blinked: "I have already said it, and then my mother asked them to send it, and my mother opened her mouth, what else did they steal, just send it directly." ”

"And then?"

"What else?"

Ye Yuran convinced her, and when it came to this kind of work, she didn't understand it yet: "Then the mother asks you another question, do you think it's better for a few sisters-in-law to steal things, or not to steal things?"

"Of course, it's better not to steal. Zhu Bamei said as a matter of course.

"Yes, they just want to send something back to their parents' house to subsidize it, and their mother helps them solve this problem, so they won't steal it anymore. So, from here you can see that in fact, your sisters-in-law are still good, they don't really want to steal, but they are forced to have no choice. ”

Zhu Bamei was thoughtful, she seemed to understand something, what her mother was telling her, but she didn't understand it for a while.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you just need to remember it. ”

"I see, mother. ”

......

After Zhu San came out of the house, he avoided everyone's perspective, spared the path, and ran towards the dilapidated thatched house.

Halfway down the road, he suddenly remembered: I forgot to bring water!

"I forgot to bring water, you eat some dried fish to pad your stomach first, I cooked the sweet potatoes, you can eat them again." Zhu San handed over the dried fish wrapped in large leaves, and began to clean up the open space and prepare for the fire.

"Wow, there are fish?!" Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

She had been here for a long time just now, and she had some regrets and ran back to find Zhu San impulsively, but now that she heard that there was meat to eat, the whole person was comfortable.

You know, when she was at Mrs. Mei's house, even if Mrs. Mei was eating close to her, people couldn't even afford meat, how could she eat?

He took the fish, put it in his mouth, and tore it.

"It's a little hard, you eat slowly. Zhu San reminded her.

Zhang Yan was so hungry that she said vaguely, "Well, I know." Hmmmm...... Delicious. ”

Of course it's delicious, it's a fucking craft. Zhu San said in his heart, and also cleared a vacant lot, picked up some firewood, and began to light the fire.

Zhang Yan saw him burying something in the fire, quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"This is a sweet potato, it is easy to burn when roasted directly, but I can't do it technically, and it is not easy to burn out when buried in the soil. Zhu San said.

"What is a sweet potato?"

"You'll find out when you eat it later. "Zhu Sanyi couldn't explain this kind of thing for a while.

In fact, after their family received that batch of sweet potatoes, his mother didn't let them touch the sweet potatoes much, saying that they wanted to keep them for next year.

Anyway, most of the food found from the mountains was left by his mother.

After eating a piece of fish, Zhang Yan said, "I'm a little hungry. ”

"Wait, I'll fetch water. Zhu San could only ask her to help watch the fire, then picked a big leaf and ran to the nearby river to fetch some water and came back.

The big mouth didn't succeed because he wanted to make a fortune by dyeing cloth, and he hated Ye Yuran in his heart. I think it's this old pious woman who is doing the trick, otherwise she would have to come like this a few more times, wouldn't she be able to subsidize her mother's family?

Every time she saw her mother begging her with tears in her eyes, she was very helpless, she was so old, and she begged her to marry a woman, it was so pitiful.

It's a pity that her mother-in-law's family is not something she can completely call the shots, there is a mother-in-law above, and there is a man next to her staring, she really can't touch the things at home.

Her man said that if she dared to steal things from the house to subsidize the other side, he would divorce his wife.

Damn! She's a grandmother, if she is divorced by her man, will she still have the face to see people?

The big mouth quarreled with the man, and he was in a bad mood, so he came out to pick mint leaves with a basket.

Although it was dark, she knew where the mint leaves grew, and she could pick a basket with her eyes closed. As she was picking, she saw a young man sneakily fetching water.

Staring at it: Hey, isn't this the third boy of the old pious mother-in-law's family? Why is he not staying at home at this time, running outside?

When the devil sent God, she followed.

"Hurry up and drink, this leaf is leaking. Zhu San ran back to the thatched hut and hurriedly handed over the water.

Zhang Yan was so uncomfortable with the dried fish that she took it and drank it: "Choke me to death!"

"Didn't I say it, the dried fish is very dry, let you eat it slowly. As he spoke, he found that the fire on the ground was almost extinguished, and Zhu San hurriedly put firewood, "Didn't you let you stare at the fire, why didn't you add firewood?"

"I'm so hungry that when I eat, I forget about it. Zhang Yan was aggrieved.

Zhu San also checked the sweet potatoes buried underneath to see if they were burned. Fortunately, he didn't stay away for long, and they were fine.

"I'll take two, and if they burn out, you'll have no dinner. ”

"It's just two, can I eat enough?"

"This stuff is full. ”

......

Big Mouth hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the thatched hut.

Because it was too dark, she didn't notice the smoke floating into the air, but when she approached, she faintly saw a piece of fire.

On such a big night, there must be a ghost who came here to light the fire!

Big Mouth slowed down and leaned in.
