Chapter 37: Mutual Suspicion

As soon as the villagers left, the Li family, the Wang family, Lu Mulan, and Lu Mujin all surrounded the Zhang family and asked, "How do you eat the tree roots?" ”

Zhang stomped his feet anxiously and said, "Oh mother, I really didn't hear clearly!" I guess that little slut is deliberately manipulating us! ”

The Wang family and the Li family exchanged glances with each other, and they were both suspicious, after all, the second daughter-in-law has the most eyes, maybe she wants to hide it herself?

Wang was an anxious man, and shouted in disbelief: "Second sister-in-law, forget about you as an outsider, we are a family!" What are you hiding? ”

Li also had a gloomy face: "Second daughter-in-law, we can see with our own eyes what Sister Li'er told you!" Don't play tricks! Hurry up and tell me, in addition to being able to sell the roots of the tree, how can they be eaten? ”

Zhang's is really dumb this time to eat Coptis chinensis, and there are words of suffering.

She explained anxiously: "Mother, I swear with hibiscus that if I know how to eat the roots of the tree, we will not die well!" You believe it, don't you? That slut is very cunning, only blowing a cool breeze in my ears, and I don't even hear any sound! Why don't you go to the North Courtyard secretly and listen to it and see if you can hear anything famous? ”

Li's eyes narrowed, and his suspicion became even worse: "Let's eavesdrop?" So why don't you go? ”

Zhang smiled and said, "Mother, didn't you hear the villagers just now say that they are going to dig up tree roots and sell them for money?" When they're done, what are we going to dig? Besides, you and the third daughter-in-law can't trust me! Of course you eavesdrop, and we'll dig up the roots! lest someone else dig it up! ”

As soon as Zhang said this, Li suddenly tensed his nerves: "Yes, yes, yes!" You four go dig too! Leave the clichΓ© to me! ”

But now, the Wang family was unhappy again, and said unhappily: "Mother, just let the second sister-in-law and the two children go!" I'll stay and help you! ”

The Li family regards money as life, and earning one less copper plate is like stripping her flesh, how can the Wang family get his wish.

She impatiently pushed Wang and said, "Go, go!" The old lady stays, don't you feel at ease! Don't delay, go dig up the roots! If you can't dig a basket, you don't even want to eat tonight! ”

The Wang family had no choice but to go up the mountain to dig the roots with the Zhang family dissatisfied.

The Li family secretly hid behind the pillars in the north courtyard to listen to the root of the wall.

In the north courtyard, the Bai family was in a state of collapse, and his red eyes were choked: "Ah Li, let's just let them take away the roots?" That's what I worked hard all morning to dig up! ”

Today's weather is good, Lu Jiangli was drying duck feathers in the yard, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, mother!" This yam is a medicine, and it is a medicine with three points of poison! If they don't handle it well, they will suffer! ”

Hey? Yam is poisonous?

Why didn't you hear Ah Li mention it in the past?

Bai Shi looked at Lu Jiangli in wonder and said, "But didn't you tell the second daughter-in-law?" Did you really tell them? ”

She always felt that Ah Bei was too calm to deal with this matter today, and it was not at all like her previous style.

Lu Jiangli smiled not surprised at all: "Mother, although I told the second aunt how to eat, but with the second aunt's character, do you think she will tell the grandmother and the third aunt?" Grandma is too picky, and the second aunt is not stupid, how can she tell them! ”

Behind the pillar, when Li heard this, his eyes became fierce.

The second daughter-in-law is really lying!

Bai Shi looked at Lu Jiangli, who was busy and didn't stop, and sighed in frustration: "It's all because I'm not good, I was followed by them!" But what do you do with the roots so that they don't get poisoned? ”

Before, she didn't seem to have seen how to deal with it.

Lu Jiangli smiled, stared at the pillar not far away from the corner of his eyes and said, "It's not simple, wash the yam, peel it, and eat it raw!" The toxins of yam are mainly on the skin! However, my mother didn't notice that we have all turned white recently? This yam has the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin, apply it to the face, and after a few days, it will be as white as a freshly shelled egg! ”

Raw??

The more Bai Shi listened, the more wrong he became, and he happened to see Lu Jiangli blinking at her constantly.

Bai Shi looked in the direction of her eyes, and there was actually someone behind the pillar listening to the root of the wall!

Look at that bloated figure, it should be the Li family!

Li touched his loose, melasma skin, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

No wonder Sister Li'er and Xiaobao's skin is so white, and they dare to use yam to paint their faces!

I wonder if she will become as delicate and white as Sister Li'er after she paints her face?

The words came out, and there was no need for Li to eavesdrop anymore, so she quietly withdrew, and she also had to tinker with whitening......

After the Li family left, the Bai family quietly pulled the corner of Lu Jiangli's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Ah Li, it's okay for you to mislead them like this, right?" ”

Lu Jiang's inky eyes were filled with sparkling ripples, and the corners of his mouth raised: "It's okay!" At most, it's just a rash on the face, and it will be fine in a few days! ”

Who told them to rob things!

……

Following.

When it was Wang's turn to cook, Wang limped to give Brother Eun a bowl of the driest porridge before starting to distribute the remaining porridge.

"It's time to eat!"

In the past, hearing these three words, the Li family and the mother and daughter of the second room ran more actively than anyone else.

Today, I was slow, and I finally got out of the house, and everyone was wearing a face towel!

Brother Eun took the thickest porridge as a matter of course, and didn't care at all how Wang's leg was lame, why Li and the others were wearing veils, and they only picked and chose one by one: "It's porridge again!" I'm tired of drinking porridge every day! I said that I cooked dry rice, but I didn't do it when I bought meat! I can't do this little thing well, I don't know what you eat every day! ”

Li's face was itchy and tight, but he still coaxed patiently: "Okay, okay, I promise that my grandson will have meat in his bowl today!" Eat fast, eat well and go to school. ”

Brother Eun glanced at her unhappily, snorted, and went out after drinking the porridge in three or two.

The Wang family and Lu Mulan looked at the Li family and the Zhang family mother and daughter strangely, and Lu Mulan fox said suspiciously: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" What are you doing with face towels? ”

Li and Zhang looked at each other, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.

Zhang looked at Li embarrassedly, and smiled humbly: "Hehehe, mother, why have you been deceived?" ”

Li covered his itchy cheeks, angrily ripped at Zhang, and scolded: "You are embarrassed to say!" That slut told you clearly, and you still pretended not to know!! If you hadn't hidden your eyes, how could my mother be deceived by her! ”

Zhang smiled: "Mother! Didn't I want to give it a try first and tell you when it works! Who would have thought that little slut would be so vicious! Deliberately lie to us! ”

On the side, Lu Mujian's eyes were about to cry and swollen, when she had a good face before, although she was not as beautiful as Lu Jiangli's natural beauty, she was still beautiful and lovely!

But last night, in the middle of the night, during the third watch, my mother suddenly told her that if she smeared her face with peeled roots, she would become as white as Lu Jiangli.

Outcome...... The more she applied it, the more itchy, the more itchy, the more scratchy it became, and now her whole face was red and swollen like a pig's head!

Lu Mujin said with a crying voice: "Grandma, mother! That slut did it on purpose! We can't let them go this time! ”

The Wang family and Lu Mulan couldn't interject on the side, but they finally understood, and angrily pointed at the Zhang family and the Li family: "Oh! Turns out you all know how to use that root, right? Well, you deliberately hid it from our mother and daughter! ”

Zhang was afraid that the Wang family would make a big deal about it, so he said stupidly: "Oh, the third child, fortunately we didn't tell you!" Otherwise, you and Mu Lan will suffer too! ”

Wang's mother and daughter glanced at each other, still unbalanced in their hearts, "Hmph, you deserve it!" That's what happens when you eat alone! It seems that no one can believe our family! ”

Wang's scolding was cool, but she forgot that Li was also among them.

Li Shi shouted angrily: "Shut up! The second daughter-in-law is right! At this time, we must unite even more! After dinner, let's go to her to settle accounts! ”
