Chapter 42: My sister can't slander my sister
The grandmother who was guarding the ancestral hall last night hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to the old lady, no one went over last night, just a little girl said that it was the second lady Yahuan, and wanted to send some food to the lady, but was blocked by the old slave." ”
The old lady's fierce eyes shot at Xin Rou'er.
Xin Rou'er's eyes widened, and she said sharply: "You are talking nonsense, when did I let someone send food." ”
But after saying this, she felt that it was wrong.
Zhang Yunhui is her mother-in-law, and she has been hungry in the ancestral hall for two days, and she has no intention of letting people send food, and she seems to be ruthless again.
But if it is said to be sent, it is a blatant disobedience to the old lady's order.
It's not right!
Xin Rou'er took a deep breath and said aggrievedly: "Grandmother, although Rou'er feels sorry for her mother, she has always remembered her grandmother's words and dare not disobey, grandmother, you must not listen to other people's nonsense." ”
The old lady snorted coldly and looked at the grandmother again: "Are you sure that the girl ring is just sending food, and not doing anything else?" ”
Mama shook her head decisively: "No, she has been under the nose of the old slave, although she has been grinding two more sentences, but in the end she was driven back by the old slave." ”
The old lady's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Since no one is near the ancestral hall, how did the rats come here!?"
At this time, the doctor, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Old lady, the old man seems to smell a smell on his wife that can attract mice." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to it.
The doctor asked Yahuan to untie the sachet on Zhang Yunhui's waist, leaned to the tip of her nose and sniffed it carefully, and finally affirmed: "Old lady, there is indeed a smell of sesame oil in this sachet, which can attract rats to approach." ”
"What, it's the rat attracted by the sachet on my mother's own body?" Before everyone could speak, Xin Nianyan let out an exclamation, full of disbelief.
Xin Rouer was stunned: "The sachet on my mother's body attracted the rats? ”
How is this possible?
But before she could speak, the old lady slapped the table angrily: "Hmph, who else should I think wants to harm her, the feeling is that she eats the consequences of her own evil, kneeling in the ancestral hall can also recruit rats in, disturbing the peace of the ancestors, from today on, she will let me stay in the courtyard honestly, and I am not allowed to go anywhere." ”
When the words fell, the old lady didn't want to stay here any longer, and got up and left.
Xin Rou'er knew that the old lady came back to her senses when she went out of the door, Xin Nianyan walked up to her and said with a lovely smile: "Sister, my sister is unwell, and the task of taking care of your mother is entrusted to you, you have to take good care of your mother." ”
Xin Rou'er gritted her teeth, her eyes were vicious: "Xin Nianyan, did you do this?" ”
"Oh, sister, how can you say that, my sister has been timid since she was a child, and she was scared when she saw mice, so how could she catch mice to scare her mother, and my sister can't slander my sister."
Xin Nianyan covered her small mouth, made a hurt expression, but her eyes were full of playful smiles, patted Xin Rou'er on the shoulder, said "My sister takes care of her mother", and left.
The doctor has long been accustomed to the struggle in the back house of these big families, and after calmly prescribing medicine, he also left.
There were only Xin Rouer and Zhang Yunhui lying on the bed in the room.
Zhang Yunhui didn't know if she was overly frightened or hungry, she had already fainted, Xin Rouer looked at her embarrassed appearance, took a deep breath, and had to ask her subordinates to wash her.
When Zhang Yunhui woke up again, she was already sober, and when she saw Xin Rou'er guarding her bed, her tears fell.
"Rou'er."
Xin Rou'er was already impatient, if it weren't for her reputation, she would have gone back a long time ago, and when she saw Zhang Yunhui wake up, she suppressed her temperament and asked, "Mother, you woke up, but what else is uncomfortable?" ”
"No, Rou'er, there's something to eat." Zhang Yunhui was teary-eyed, and the first thing she wanted to eat was to eat.
Xin Rouer had to order someone to serve food.
As soon as the meal came up, Zhang Yunhui didn't have time to put on her shoes, so she turned over and got out of bed with green eyes, came to the table and began to feast, completely losing the calmness that a housewife should have.
Xin Rou'er on the side couldn't help frowning, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Mother, you eat slowly."
Zhang Yunhui was hungry for two days, where else could she take care of anything else, like a storm, she finished all the food on the table, she burped with satisfaction, and her body was energetic.
Xin Rou'er asked someone to remove the leftovers from the table, and then sat down and asked, "Mother, what happened to you in the ancestral hall, how did you get like that?" ”
As soon as she said this, Zhang Yunhui remembered the sins she had suffered in the ancestral hall in the past two days, and she trembled with anger, almost gritted her teeth, and glared resentfully:
"I knelt in the ancestral hall for two days, and I was fine, except for no food, everything was normal, but last night, a bunch of rats suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
"I was so hungry and dizzy that I was weak, I only heard someone talking outside, and I didn't hear what I said clearly, and after a while, suddenly a mouse got into my clothes, and before I could react, more and more rats drilled into me, I was scared stupid, I had never encountered such a thing."
Zhang Yunhui told the matter again, Xin Rou'er wrinkled her eyebrows when she heard it, and muttered: "Mama Ding said that there was a maid ring last night, saying that I sent it to bring food to your mother, and I had a long time grinding with her, but I didn't send someone to the ancestral hall to deliver food last night." ”
Zhang Yunhui's eyes flashed slightly, and for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Xin Rouer say that she didn't send someone to deliver food last night.
My mother was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she was hungry for two days and two nights, and she didn't even mean to send someone to send food.
Thinking about how she had survived the past two days, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
But in the end, it was her own daughter, she just sighed in the end, and said in a deep voice: "That eighty percent is a ghost caused by Xin Nianyan, otherwise how could there be rats in the ancestral hall, or so many!" ”
"But the doctor said it was a rat that was recruited by your sachet." Xin Rouer said.
Zhang Yunhui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously picked up the sachet.
"I bought this sachet at the sachet shop outside only two days ago, how could it be possible to attract mice, even if it recruits mice, it is impossible to recruit so many at once."
Although Xin Rouer didn't know how many mice there were last night, but looking at Zhang Yunhui like this, it should be a lot, thinking of the dense rats crawling on her, Xin Rouer was so frightened that she got goosebumps all over her body.
"In that case, it must be Xin Nianyan's ghost, but aren't the people in her yard all ours, how can they listen to her?"
Zhang Yunhui narrowed her eyes: "I don't know, I saw Chunxiang Chuncao cured by her last time, you will have someone call them later, I want to see if it is a ghost caused by Xin Nianyan!" ”
