Jiang Zhanting followed the footprints and walked out.

When he went to the firewood piled up outside the cellar, he saw something hanging on the pile of firewood outside. When I walked over to check, I found that it was a piece of cloth.

And the fabric turned out to be corduroy.

Corduroy isn't cheap, it's just that the fabric has been washed white, and there's still a bit of dirt on it.

He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed inwardly, he kind of guessed who it was.

In these years, everyone is not rich, and there are few clothes in the family, even if they buy their own fabrics, they still buy some coarse cloth fabrics, and then take them home and sew them by hand. Few people can afford to buy corduroy.

But there is one exception, that is the third aunt of the Jiang family, Jiang Xiaolan!

At the beginning, Jiang Xiaolan gave birth to a child, and because it was a son, her husband Li Cripple liked it very much.

It was inconvenient for Li Cripple to walk, but he tossed for a long time, went to the commune to make a long-distance bus to the provincial capital, and bought a piece of corduroy cloth.

This cloth was originally reserved for the child, but Jiang Xiaolan used it to make clothes for herself. When the child washed at three o'clock, Mrs. Jiang went to give gifts, and she had seen the corduroy worn by Jiang Xiaolan, and her face was proud at that time, but she was so angry.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Zhanting took this broken step to find Mrs. Jiang.

"Is that her??"

Mrs. Jiang looked surprised, and with a 'snap', the old lady slapped on the table, her face full of anger.

"This lazy thing!!"

Mrs. Jiang was really angry.

When she mentioned Jiang Xiaolan, she didn't have a good face.

I think that at the beginning, Jiang Xiaolan married into the Lijia Village Brigade next door, her man Li Cripple had good conditions, and he was watching the gate in the county factory before his death. Later, Li Cripple fell and died, so Jiang Xiaolan moved back to Qingshantun with her two children.

On weekdays, he is lazy and lazy, never serving the crops in the field, and counting on those left by Li Cripple to continue to live. But she doesn't know how to save yet, and she has to go to the city to go to the restaurant every once in a while! No amount of money can withstand her ruining like this!

"Forget it, it's not worth being angry with her."

"Let's go, let's go get the food back, don't be angry, huh?" Old man Jiang frowned, for fear that his wife would be angry, so he hurriedly comforted him.

"She's black-hearted, just take away the food! Ruined the vegetables I kept for the winter! ”

"And those things she couldn't take away, and they all trampled on me too? What did she think? Have a grudge against our family? What does she mean by that?! ”

Old man Jiang looked at his wife's aggrieved appearance, and felt distressed for a while.

Several brothers and daughters-in-law of the Jiang family also hurriedly pulled the old lady, for fear that the old lady would be angry.

When Xie Jingqiong came here, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The old lady twisted her face, did not say a word, and closed her mouth. It's not that she is angry with Xie Jingqiong, but she is afraid that she will yell as soon as she opens her mouth, which scares Qiongqiong.

At this time, the second daughter-in-law asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Xie Jingqiong frowned: "Hair, a yellow hair, I guess it's a woman, she used our comb, and she also took away our soap." ”

"This lazy thing!!" Mrs. Jiang wanted to endure it, but she really couldn't help it at this moment, "Does she know how to be ashamed?" ”

Xie Jingqiong wondered, did the family already know who did it?

She set her eyes on Jiang Zhanting, blinking her eyes, looking ignorant, her big eyes full of doubts.

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang held back a fire, raised her feet and walked outside.

While walking, he didn't forget to shout: "Let's go, hurry up, let's settle accounts with her!" ”

Seeing this, Xie Jingqiong hurriedly followed, so as not to suffer a loss to the old couple. After all, just from that few words just now, it is enough to speculate.

The third aunt, Jiang Xiaolan, is probably not a good stubble.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Xiaolan was wearing a shabby cyan blouse and gray-blue pants on her legs. In fact, the color of the jacket and pants is not very recognizable, and the stain is black and extremely ugly.

She was carrying a bowl of white noodles with cabbage added to them. Her hair was loose and oily. She didn't bother to pick up a strand of hair that fell into the bowl, she just snorted and ate noodles, and stuffed it into her mouth with her legs open.

Next to her sat her two sons. The two children's faces were dark, as if they hadn't washed their faces for days. Dressed in shabby gray clothes, there are leaks of flesh in some places.

The brothers wore cloth shoes on their feet, and one child had a toe leaking out. The two boys didn't dislike it, and they quickly stuffed noodles into their mouths, looking like they had been hungry for a few days.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

The sound of banging came coldly, which frightened Jiang Xiaolan and almost choked.

She was already weak-hearted, and now she was startled when she heard the knock on the door. Ignoring the knock on the door outside, he snorted and ate the remaining noodles in the bowl.

"Xiaowen, Xiaoshu, you go and take care of the food, that's our mother's ration in the future, you can't make a mistake."

The two children have tiger heads, and their eyes are rolling around, and there are a lot of ghost ideas when they look at them.

"Mother, the knocker outside is here to rob our food?"

The slightly older Xiaowen looked fierce.

"Yes, you have to keep the food. If we find out, we won't have anything to eat, and then you'll have to go to the city to get me food!" ”

"Mother, then we'll help you beat people out!" Xiaowen's face was murderous.

The little book next to him silently the bench.

Jiang Xiaolan rolled her eyes: "Okay, save your effort, how old are you two, hurry up and guard the food for me." ”

After saying that, she pushed the two children and pushed them to the back room. And she herself was not in a hurry, put away the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and then slowly went to open the door.

"Who, what? Break down my door, and you will pay for it! ”

"Jiang Xiaolan, hurry up and open the door for me!"

Mrs. Jiang angrily slammed the door, "You black-hearted lazy woman, give me back my food!" ”

Jiang Xiaolan slammed the door open, leaning lazily against the door frame, slanting a pair of triangular eyes, looking angry.

"I didn't steal your food, I don't understand what you're saying." She clearly didn't want to admit it.

Mrs. Jiang fell down in anger, this Jiang Xiaolan is really shameless!

Old man Jiang frowned: "Xiaolan!" ”

"If you encounter any difficulties, our two families are relatives, so we won't care. But you can't be so unauthentic! ”

Jiang Xiaolan sneered: "You can get it, you have to blame me for losing food in your family, what's the matter, do you see that our orphans and widows are easy to bully?"

"Or is it that my old Li died, and he knew that he had left some savings before, so he deliberately came to the door to blackmail us?"

"I tell you, you're dead to that heart! If you want to blackmail my family's money, there is no door! ”

She even beat her upside down.

He took the broom behind the door in his hand and made up his mind not to admit it.

As long as she doesn't admit it, they don't want to do anything to her!
