Chapter 3 Trouble Comes to the Door
Although this is consistent with the food in my memory, but seeing it with my own eyes, it is still a little different, the original owner eats such food every day, but when such a meal is really served on the table, Liu Man'er can't eat a bite.
She smelled it, and she wanted to throw up.
In fact, she actually turned around and found a corner to retch for a while.
When she came to the table again, the people on the table looked at her like a monster, no way, on weekdays, she grabbed the most at dinner, and several children, especially the second child Ye Qing, looked at her the most, but now she not only didn't grab it, but only served a little bit of soup.
This is really strange, but when everyone looked at Ye Yuan, who was sitting next to her, they all understood, presumably they saw the eldest brother sitting next to her, so she restrained herself, you know, she has always been afraid of the eldest brother.
"Man'er, you're sick, eat more."
During this period, Fang persuaded her like this.
Liu Man'er nodded and said, "I know, mother, you can eat more." ”
"Hey, we've been sick this time, but we're really much more sensible." Fang was very pleased.
She had no money, she couldn't marry a better daughter-in-law for her son, she only spent five cents to buy such a stupid woman, and she accepted her fate, thinking that she would teach her well and be kind to her, she could always change something.
Now, her efforts have finally paid off a little, how can she not be happy.
Liu Man'er knew Fang's thoughts, she smiled slightly, the original owner used to be a real piece of rotten wood, although she had a lot of strength, but she only thought about eating, and always robbed these children, including her younger brother Liu Fusheng, she would not be humble at all.
Because she herself is a child, her IQ is lower than that of ordinary people, and the people in the village call her a silly aunt, and often instigate her to do some stupid things for fun.
Fang is also a person who loves face very much, is upright and has good conduct, but Liu Man'er is often instigated by others, sometimes very hungry, and goes to steal things from other people's fields, which makes Fang really shameless.
In the village, from time to time, people came to the door and said that they had lost something in their house, and Liu Man'er stole it.
And at this moment, the meal was still half eaten, and by coincidence, someone came to the door, it was a woman with curved willow eyebrows, thin lips, and a little powder on her face, Liu Man'er's house was just a low fence door, she didn't even say hello, she stepped directly, and came to the hall.
Seeing that Liu Man'er's family was eating, she didn't feel embarrassed, and opened her mouth: "Yo, it's dinner, our family lost a pair of shoes, come up to your house and ask." ”
"What kind of shoes?" Fang Shi glanced at Liu Man'er and asked.
"The mille-feuille bottom of Xinna was put in the yard to dry, but when I came back from work in the afternoon, the shoes were gone." The woman's tone was a little disdainful, her lips were closed one by one, and the implication was that Liu Man'er had stolen the shoes.
"Man'er, did you take the ...... of Aunt Osmanthus's house" Fang Shizheng heard this woman's words, and the first time he interrogated Liu Man'er.
According to the habit of the past, she would coax Liu Man'er to take out the shoes with kind words, for example, coaxing her to boil eggs for her and so on.
However, today, Liu Man'er interrupted her, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and her eyes were slightly cold: "This aunt, you lost your shoes, what are you looking for at our house?" ”
"What are you looking for? I said stupid girl, you took your aunt's shoes this afternoon, and you can return them quickly?! The woman crossed her waist with her hands on her face, looking at Liu Man'er's gaze as if she had been convinced that Liu Man'er was the one who stole her shoes.
Liu Man'er has never been seen like this, especially when she was wronged as a thief, or stole a pair of shoes with a thousand layers of bottoms, can she be guilty of such a thing?
However, the original owner did have a criminal record, and it was precisely because of this that the other people would find Liu Man'er's house as soon as they lost their shoes.
As soon as Liu Man'er turned around, she saw the Fang family, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she looked at Liu Man'er with a look of hope, hoping that Liu Man'er would be able to hand over the shoes.
But she saw the eyes of the four children opposite, and those eyes were frightened and disliked, but there was no respect for her as the eldest sister-in-law.
Ye Yuan on the side had a faint disgust and anger on his face, obviously, as a normal man, he was very reluctant to marry such a woman, disgrace him like this, and even destroy the family style.
It's just that the old lady is worried about him, after all, the drudgery of being a soldier and fighting a war is not in danger.
That's why he endured it again and again.
He doesn't spend much time at home on weekdays, because he is a soldier of the state capital, so he can come back once a year, each time for a month, if he had been at home for a whole year last year, he must have been unbearable.
In fact, everyone has misunderstood him, after all, the soldiers in the state capital are very different from the soldiers who stay in the frontier all the year round, basically, as long as there is no major incident, there is still no danger to life.
It's just because the Liang Dynasty has only been established for 30 years, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the people have just settled down, so they think that being a soldier is a matter of losing their heads.
Therefore, no one married their daughter to Ye Yuan, in fact, Ye Yuan is not bad, and in fact, he is tall, square-faced, a little handsome, and has a lot of strength, except for the poor family, the other conditions are not bad.
It's just that it's a pity that I was born at the wrong time, and I can't even marry a better woman.
Liu Man'er looked at Ye Yuan and couldn't help but think a little too much.
When the woman saw Liu Man'er's sluggish eyes again, she was even more disgusted, especially when she saw Liu Man'er's food at home, she couldn't help but cheer up, "No wonder a pair of shoes is also stolen, it turns out that the family eats this." ”
As soon as these words came out, Fang's face changed instantly, she knew that her family was poor, but she was a good-looking person.
So she didn't want this Aunt Osmanthus to stay at home for a long time, and she didn't want her to judge her family, so she also became stern in Liu Man'er's voice, "Man'er, hurry up and return the shoes to Aunt Osmanthus." ”
"But I didn't take it!" Liu Man'er's tone was very calm, and she said in an orderly manner, "I've been lying in bed this afternoon, where can I have the opportunity to get your shoes?" What's more, it's just a pair of shoes, even if I'm barefoot, it's not uncommon for me to wear someone else's. ”
When Aunt Osmanthus heard this, she laughed:
"Hey, listen, your stupid girl is still capable now, you don't rare other people's things, so you used to steal other people's buds? I remember that you stole the clothes of the chrysanthemums in our village, and now you actually say that you are not rare! ”
When she said this, she looked at the people who came to the village, meaning that she wanted everyone to judge.
There is no after-dinner conversation in the village, and now, there is finally a lively scene to see, and almost all the people in the neighborhood have come, standing outside the door, and looking inside.
"Yes, I used to steal Aunt Chrysanthemum's things, and even I stole most of the things in the village before, but I never stole shoes." Liu Man'er smiled slightly and smoothed the messy hair on her head, "Do you know why? ”
"Why?" Before Aunt Osmanthus could speak, someone outside began to coax.
These people don't want to help Liu Man'er, they just want to hear what this stupid girl can say, and add a little fun to their boring life.
Even Aunt Osmanthus looked like she was watching a good show, she wanted to hear what this Liu Man'er could say.
"Because my mother told me that other people's shoes can't be worn, especially broken shoes." Liu Man'er looked arrogant and said, "So you go to someone else's house to have a look, it's impossible for me to steal broken shoes." ”
"What broken shoes, you make it clear!" When Aunt Osmanthus heard the word broken shoes, her anger instantly surged, and she immediately stood up and wanted to hit Liu Man'er.
Liu Man'er hurriedly hid behind Ye Yuan, pointed at her and said, "Yours is a broken shoe, not long ago, I heard what your mother-in-law said, this is still false!" ”
When the villagers outside heard Liu Man'er's words, they couldn't help but laugh.
Aunt Osmanthus felt panicked.
This osmanthus aunt, the man in the family opened a grocery store in the town, the living conditions are much better than most of the villagers, she has always loved beauty, like to rub some powder, her mother-in-law is not used to it, the two always quarrel, Xu is unintentional, when the two quarreled, her mother-in-law scolded like this, but did not think about it, was written down by Liu Man'er.
"Since my family Man'er said so, then the shoes will definitely not be taken by her." Fang felt that what Liu Man'er said made sense, and he didn't care what Aunt Osmanthus thought, his face was full of relief, and he walked to Liu Man'er's side, like coaxing a child, and said:
"Man'er, in the future, whether it is shoes, clothes, or food, we can't take other people's homes, you know? Even if our family is poor, we must have ambition! ”
"Hmm!" Liu Man'er nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely not take other people's things in the future!" ”
"That's good, good boy."
In fact, every time Liu Man'er took something and was discovered, she would say this, but in fact, she didn't change it once, however, every time the Fang clan would praise her like this.
But every time the people in the village lose something, they still look for her!
"I'm here to make it clear, in the future, I will never take someone else's thing again!" Liu Man'er said to the crowd outside the door.
"You say you won't take it, but you may still take it when the time comes." The villagers didn't believe what Liu Man'er said, but if Liu Man'er really didn't take their things, it would be a good thing.
After all, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, because of Liu Man'er, now everyone has some good things, and they dare not hang them in the yard.
