Chapter 56: Persuade Xie Wanjun to sell the lamb
"No, I saw it just now, the soil on the floor is very dry, and there is no smell of goat's milk, so I concluded that it was taken by someone else." Xie Wanjun pursed her lips, forget it, let's find other places, in case it is really put elsewhere by herself, it is not impossible.
Because people have temporary amnesia, even Xie Wanjun is no exception, thinking of this, Xie Wanjun walked out of the door and searched in the corner of the house, hoping to find goat's milk.
When the old lady saw Xie Wanjun rummaging through the cabinets, she asked in an old voice, "Wanjun, what are you looking for, let Su Qing help you find it, there are many and miscellaneous things at home." ”
"Mother, did I disturb you?" Xie Wanjun stopped what she was doing, and glanced at the old lady apologetically, just now she was anxious, and she didn't take into account the old lady's feelings, she paused, and said, "Mother, I'll try to be as quiet as possible, if you think I'm noisy with you, just tell me." ”
At this time, Zhao was sitting next to the old lady, Xie Wanjun's anxious state fell into her eyes, she smiled proudly, Xie Wanjun wanted to fight with her, but she was still a little tender.
"Ouch, what did you lose when you made such a big thing, say it, we can help!" Zhao Shi was talking cool on the side, although she said this, she didn't mean to help Xie Wanjun at all.
Who is the Zhao family Xie Wanjun knew it clearly, Xie Wanjun just didn't hear her words, and glanced at her lightly, but the old lady also asked. Xie Wanjun then told the story of the loss of goat's milk.
"Oh, isn't it goat's milk, it's worth the fuss." Zhao raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It's a waste of money to raise a lamb, it's better not to raise it, at this time, the goat's milk is gone, it's just right, God doesn't want you to raise it, let's die!" ”
Zhao didn't understand Xie Wanjun's mood, said cool words, and listed all kinds of disadvantages of raising sheep, although the old lady didn't say anything, but Zhao's words drilled into her ears word for word.
Xie Wanjun couldn't bear it anymore, and said coldly, "Brother and sister, I hope you have some virtue in your mouth, and the lamb is also a life, and now the goat's milk is gone, but I will always find it, so you can rest assured." ”
Usually Xie Wanjun is too lazy to worry about her, but now she is worried that the lamb has no to eat, but the Zhao family has been advocating the uselessness of raising sheep, Xie Wanjun is furious when she hears it.
She and the Zhao family were at odds, and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, did the Zhao family steal her goat's milk!
Xie Wanjun's body stiffened, if it was Zhao's, it would be reasonable, Zhao said that raising sheep was a waste of money, and opposed her raising sheep, and Zhao had always looked at her unpleasantly, and it was understandable that she stole goat's milk, Xie Wanjun thought of this, squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhao gloomily.
In this family, the Zhao family is obviously the most likely, so in the final analysis, this matter is that the Zhao family is playing ghosts, and after moving his hands and feet, he is still talking calmly here, just for this point, Xie Wanjun admires the Zhao family very much, after all, she can't do this.
Since it was the Zhao family who stole the goat's milk, it would be useless for her to continue looking for it, the Zhao family would definitely hide the goat's milk, Xie Wanjun bit her lower lip, and simply stopped looking for it, now she has no evidence, so naturally she can't accuse the Zhao family.
Xie Wanjun looked at Zhao with sharp eyes, the smile on Zhao's face gradually converged, and the doubts in his eyes were unobstructed, why did Xie Wanjun stare at her with such eyes, could it be that she found something!
Zhao secretly speculated in his heart, "Impossible, I do things neatly, Xie Wanjun will not know that I took the goat milk." It's just that as soon as she came into contact with Xie Wanjun's gaze, her heart panicked.
Even though Xie Wanjun didn't find out that he had taken the goat's milk, he had to dispose of the goat's milk as soon as possible and put it in the room, so after making up his mind, Zhao found an excuse to leave.
Goat's milk must be disposed of, but it is best for the person who does it unknowingly, otherwise it will be miserable if she is caught by Xie Wanjun, she will definitely slander her in front of the old lady and slander her, the old lady is biased against Xie Wanjun, plus Xie Wanjun's oil and vinegar, so where does she have any status in this family.
The Zhao family left quietly, Xie Wanjun didn't care, she knew that she knew, but she didn't have evidence, it didn't help, she had a mouth to accuse, and the Zhao family would definitely say that she had wronged her, and she must not take risks.
But she can't let go of the person who stole her goat's milk so easily, now that she has locked on to the target, when she finds the evidence, she will definitely make the Zhao family look good, hateful guy.
And Zhao was afraid of being discovered by Xie Wanjun, after coming back from the living room, she secretly poured out the goat's milk, she looked left and right, and did something wrong, so she was afraid that Xie Wanjun would suddenly appear behind her.
"Hmph, Xie Wanjun, I'll see how you find it!" After Zhao was sure that there was no one, he secretly poured the goat's milk into the ditch, and flushed a lot of water to cover up the smell of the goat's milk, but fortunately, the taste of the goat's milk was very light, and Zhao didn't use much effort.
Watching the goat's milk disappear into the ditch, Zhao hooked the corners of his lips, "Xie Wanjun, even if you suspect that I stole the goat's milk, you have no evidence to prove it." "Zhao's favorite thing to do is to go against Xie Wanjun, as long as Xie Wanjun is not smooth, she will be happy.
Who let Xie Wanjun steal her limelight everywhere, making her more and more disinterested in this family, after pouring out the goat's milk, Zhao was relieved, and she immediately went back to the house to sleep.
But Xie Wanjun continued to look for the whereabouts of the goat's milk in the place where the Zhao family often stayed, she didn't believe it, how big the family was, even if the Zhao family could hide things again, it would be impossible to bury them in the soil.
Xie Wanjun searched in the firewood room, but there was still no result, and she was a little discouraged at this time.
"Wanjun, forget if you can't find it, let's go to bed first, it's so late, it's not too late to look for it tomorrow." Su Qing was worried that Xie Wanjun's body would not be able to bear it, it was so late now, and he was still looking for the whereabouts of the goat's milk, and he looked very uncomfortable.
Xie Wanjun agreed repeatedly, so she had to give up first, and wait for tomorrow to wake up and continue to look for it, but what she didn't expect was that the old lady actually came to talk to her the next day, about selling sheep.
At that time, she searched for evidence to no avail, and she was also anxious, so the old lady called her into the room, Xie Wanjun was very puzzled, thinking that the old lady was secretly looking for her, as if there was something unseemly.
"Wanjun, come in, my mother has something to say to you, let's discuss it." The old lady sat at the table and called out to Xie Wanjun outside the room, Xie Wanjun frowned lightly and walked in.
After Xie Wanjun entered, she looked around and didn't find any suspicious people or things, she asked suspiciously, "Mother, is there anything wrong?" Sneaky, she panicked.
The old lady smiled and let her walk in, her face was pleasant, there was nothing wrong, so Xie Wanjun's doubts were even worse.
"Wanjun, I thought about it last night, and I think Zhao is right, raising sheep is really a waste of money, you see that our family is surrounded by four walls, there is nothing, and whether we can fill our stomachs is still a problem, if we add another sheep, then our lives will be even more poor."
The old lady's words were very tactful, not to mention the lack of money, now their family has no income, only relying on Su Qing to hunt, and the mushrooms that Xie Wanjun cultivated last time failed again, so the old lady decided to say these words to Xie Wanjun after thinking about it for a night.
She saw Xie Wanjun's filial piety in her eyes, and she also knew that she wanted to feed this little sheep very much, but Zhao's words sounded in her mind from time to time, and wasting money became the focus of selling sheep.
The old lady had a wishful thinking that if the sheep were sold, the family would get an income that could be used to subsidize the family. But if the sheep are not sold, everything the sheep eat will take up the family's expenses, making the already poor family even worse.
The old lady was thinking about the whole family, but when she saw Xie Wanjun's firm eyes, she was stunned, after all, she was just a sheep that had just been raised for a few days, and it stands to reason that she can't have feelings.
Sure enough, Xie Wanjun insisted on her own idea, she didn't want to sell the sheep, after all, the lamb was adopted by her from the hands of the ewe, she has no children now, and the lamb is like her child, the ewe has been poisoned to death, and now she must not let the lamb have anything to do.
Xie Wanjun adjusted her mood and said to the old lady, "Mother, I will make money and come back, don't worry, we will keep the lamb temporarily, okay?" ”
Xie Wanjun's pleading tone had a hint of firmness in her tone, she had raised this little lamb, even if the old lady didn't agree, she still had to be stubborn.
"Wanjun, listen to my mother's words and sell the lamb! Sheep are different from cows, cows can work and do things, but sheep can only eat, and they are so small, think about how much effort we have to spend to raise it! The old lady shook her head, obviously she still disagreed, because she had already decided in her heart that the lamb was a waste of money, so she had to sell the lamb anyway.
If the conditions at home are good, it doesn't matter if they raise a sheep, but now, they can't even eat, so what do they say about raising sheep, thinking of this, the old lady sighed.
Xie Wanjun held the old lady's hand, looked at her face, and said firmly, "Mother, believe me, I will make money in my own way, don't worry, really, we are living in poverty now, but raising a sheep is not a problem." ”
Seeing that the old lady didn't speak, Xie Wanjun swallowed her saliva, knowing that she had hope, she assured again, "Mother, I'm serious, I will definitely be able to make money in my own way, and then our life will naturally get better, if it doesn't work again, we will sell the lamb, but now, please believe me, I will do what I say, and I can make money if I say it." ”
Xie Wanjun swears that she does have her own methods, and her money-making methods already have a model in her mind, and she is almost implementing them now.
