CHAPTER XXII
Xu Erzhu saw that his hand was shining with a piece of emerald green, turning in the sun, the luster was very dazzling and clear, and the whole jade texture was fine, elegant and refreshing, crystal clear, pure and flawless.
"Sanniang, is there something wrong? This bracelet is worth a lot of money, right? There is no flaw on it, I think you must cherish it. ”
Mei Sanniang shook her head, this is just the opposite.
"Brother Erzhu, let's go into the house and say."
Mei Sanniang told Xue'er and Liu Tao to play elsewhere, and after she took Xu Erzhu to the house, she subconsciously looked outside, and only after making sure that there was no one did she find out and say it.
"This bracelet isn't mine?"
Xu Erzhu was shocked and looked at Mei Sanniang with wide eyes.
"Sanniang, this joke can't be made."
Mei Sanniang also wanted to joke, but this bracelet was not hers.
"Brother Erzhu, this bracelet is really not mine, don't tell lies."
Xu Erzhu knew that Sanniang wouldn't tell lies, but this bracelet...
"What about you?"
Mei Sanniang said bluntly: "I didn't steal the bracelet, and I won't steal this synthetic bracelet, I don't want to give it to me." ”
"Huh?" Xu Erzhu looked at Sanniang with a shocked face, and said in disbelief: "This bracelet is not made of jadeite?" ”
It's all good to be made of stone, but the bracelet in Mei Sanniang's hand is technology and ruthless, and the long belt will not be good for the body, I don't know where Wang Ma got the crooked goods.
"Zhang Xiaoyan deliberately framed me, she deliberately created the illusion that the bracelet was lost, and the villagers who spread the news knew about it. When she came to my house and searched it, she secretly put the bracelet in my cupboard. ”
"When everyone came, all the spearheads were pointed at me, but after a thousand calculations, she didn't count that there was no word engraved on this bracelet, and she couldn't identify whose bracelet it was, since she personally admitted that it was a bracelet that came out of my house, then this thing is mine, even if Zhang Xiaoyan made it bad, she still missed a step, luck is also part of the strength, God doesn't favor her, let me take advantage of the loophole."
Mei Sanniang sighed: "It's a pity that this bracelet is fake." ”
If the bracelet was real, she would wake up laughing when she fell asleep. Ordinary jade bracelets can be bought for a lot of money, and if the technology in her hand is used to deceive an old lady, she will not be able to go with her conscience.
"Fake? So what to do? Zhang Xiaoyan deceived everyone with a fake bracelet, saying that you are a thief, she is really not human. ”
Mei Sanniang remembered Zhang Xiaoyan's excited appearance, and denied: "Some people have the intention of framing their foreheads, but they don't know that she herself is also calculated, this bracelet Zhang Xiaoyan should not know, otherwise she would not be so excited when she snatched it from me, I was also confused when I saw the bracelet at the beginning, but after I grabbed it, I really wanted to throw the bracelet away." ”
"But think about it carefully, I can't do this in front of the villagers, and when I calm down, I will find that this bracelet has no flaws at all, the process of jadeite formation is very long, and it is impossible for the stone flesh to be so perfect, and the glass light shines through the sun, I guess that this is a fake jade bracelet."
"As soon as Zhang Xiaoyan approached, I raised the bracelet high, pretending to shake the bracelet, Zhang Xiaoyan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and she could see her nervousness from her facial muscles, and attached great importance to this bracelet, so she absolutely didn't know that this was a fake bracelet."
"Sanniang, you think so?"
"And you see she's fooling us?"
Xu Erzhu didn't see it, he thought that the bracelet was Sanniang's, and he didn't want to talk about whether Zhang Xiaoyan knew that it was a fake bracelet.
"Whether she really doesn't know or not, I never expected Zhang Xiaoyan to use such despicable means against me."
Xu Erzhu was a little worried about Sanniang: "Sanniang, if you don't contact Wang Ma, I'm afraid that you will set yourself on fire." ”
If she doesn't enter the tiger's den, she wants to take this risk.
"Brother Erzhu, don't worry." Mei Sanniang's subtle smile was like the warm sun in the spring breeze, she took out a plate of vegetable cakes from the cupboard, and she saw at a glance that Xu Erzhu had only taken a small piece before.
"Leave me here to eat today?"
Xu Erzhu rubbed his head, looking confused.
"If your mother doesn't let me, forget it, if her old man is stunned by me, then I really don't carry this black cauldron."
"Please don't move you big guy, just me and Xue'er eat alone, it's not your share."
As soon as the words fell, Mei Xue's crisp voice came from outside the house: "Mother, Grandma Erzhu is here." ”
Mei Sanniang shook her head, and really said something.
"Look at it."
After a few steps, Erzhu Niang stepped into the small courtyard, and Mei Sanniang hurriedly went out of the house to greet her, "Erzhu Niang, is there something wrong?" ”
Erzhu Niang's steps were a little unsteady under her anger, and her body trembled slightly, Mei Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "What blew you here?" ”
"Come, come in, sit, and have a glass of water."
Erzhu Niang walked a little anxiously, entered the house and snorted, and coughed in a hurry, Mei Sanniang hurriedly gently smoothed her back.
"Slow down, Erzhu Niang."
Erzhu Niang got straight to the point and said: "Is my pillar here with you?" ”
I don't know if the voice is a little louder, Erzhu Niang roared and startled the sleeping Guitang in the house.
Guitang couldn't stop crying, Mei Sanniang called Mei Xue: "Xue'er, go and see if my brother is hungry." ”
instructed Xue'er, Mei Sanniang responded to Erzhu Niang: "Erzhu Niang, there is no one in this house, Erzhu is not at my house." Besides, don't you know best if Erzhulai didn't come to me? ”
"What do you say, do you suspect that I am hiding a man? Or Erzhu Brother? ”
Erzhu Niang was so angry with Mei Sanniang that she gasped: "Mei Sanniang, I've heard about today's incident, I don't care if you steal Zhang Xiaoyan's bracelet or not, but you have to understand one thing, our Xu family doesn't accept widows." ”
Mei Sanniang didn't have this idea, it's better to rely on a man than on herself, Mei Sanniang gently brushed Erzhu Niang's chest and comforted softly: "Don't worry, I won't discredit your old Xu family." ”
"Put 10,000 hearts! Look, where is there anyone in my house? ”
Erzhu Niang was still a little unconvinced, she stood up and pretended to walk up, looked at the rooms, and looked at the place where she thought she could fit people.
"I didn't expect you to live a good life after you got rid of your madness." Erzhu Niang touched the wardrobe, it was unbelievable that Mei Sanniang's house had several kinds of large furniture in a short period of time, although it was not good-looking, but it was very practical, she was a little curious, how did she make such a big cabinet.
Erzhu Niang glanced at Mei Sanniang and asked tentatively, "So, how did you do it?" ”
Mei Sanniang smiled, don't think about it, Erzhu Niang already knew, it was impossible for Mei Sanniang to complete the work alone, it must have been done with the help of an external force, but what this external force is, only Mei Sanniang herself knows.
"I loaded it myself, took some of our eggs and exchanged them for some screws, and the wooden boards and bamboo were stapled together."
Erzhu Niang is not a person who is easy to deceive, she pulled Mei Sanniang's clothes and pointed to the shovel placed in the corner of the wall.
"You're not going to tell me that you did it yourself?"
Mei Sanniang smiled, "Of course not, how can I forget the goodness of your family." ”
"I thought Brother Erzhu had told you a few days ago, it seems that he forgot to say, I borrowed it for several days, thanks to this shovel, I dug up a lot of wild vegetables, Erzhu Niang, I made wild vegetable cakes, can you taste it?"
"What's so good about wild vegetable cakes? Do you know how to cook? This wild vegetable tastes slightly bitter, there is nothing to eat, if you have the heart, why don't you kill the sheep to eat, please eat a good meal. ”
Mei Sanniang smiled: "The sheep is still small, and I can't eat it." If my family opens meat in the future, how can I forget you. ”
"And the wild vegetable cake I made is not bitter, but also has some meaty aroma, I put several eggs in it, and added a lot of oil, if you don't dislike it, taste it?"
Erzhu Niang looked at Mei Sanniang suspiciously, what good things can this woman make, and she wasted so many eggs, if Erzhu is stupid and doesn't marry a few people home, isn't this a ruined mother-in-law, if she gets old in the future, this house is left to outsiders, she doesn't want to.
"Taste it."
Erzhu's mother thought that she couldn't lend Mei Sanniang a shovel for nothing, so she wanted to try the egg and vegetable cake.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you, it's all steaming in the pot, you see that you came early as it was better to come sooner."
Mei Sanniang uncovered the pot, a stream of heat rose into the air, she wrapped the bamboo shelf with a rag, and brought out the vegetable cakes on it.
"It smells so good." Mei Sanniang got close and smelled it, and sure enough, the freshly squeezed rapeseed oil fried cakes were fragrant, she used chopsticks to pick out several pieces, and wrapped them in newspaper, "Erzhu Niang, there are three cakes here, I will keep three." ”
Erzhu's mother looked at the vegetable cake with disgust, the appearance was unsightly, and there was a piece of uneven cake.
"I took two pieces, and this one is missing, was it stolen by a mouse? I don't eat what is left over from the rats, for fear of getting sick. ”
Erzhu's mother acted decisively and threw the extra cakes back on the plate.
"Keep it for yourself."
That eye was only the size of the mouth of the chopsticks, and Erzhu Niang shook her head when she saw it, and she was very disgusted.
"Erzhu Niang, it's delicious while it's hot."
"I don't need you to remind you." Erzhu Niang packed the vegetable cakes and warned Mei Sanniang: "In the future, I will have less contact with Erzhu, and it will be more or less for the good of the two families." I don't need you to remember the goodness of my family, I just ask you to stay away from my Erzhu, and I will introduce my daughter-in-law to Erzhu tomorrow, and you will die of this heart. ”
"I heard that you want to marry Wang Ma? Wang Ma and his daughter-in-law are making a lot of trouble today, I don't want to make my family restless because of you. ”
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you and Brother Erzhu."
"As for Wang Ma's affairs, I don't care. Their family affairs are not easy for outsiders to interfere in. ”
Mei Sanniang is still a little self-aware, and some of the relationship points are up to now, and she doesn't explain it.
"Erzhu Niang, I'll send you."
Erzhu Niang took a step forward and stopped Mei Sanniang.
"Don't bother. If you don't have anything to do with my second pillar, it is the best respect for me, an old man. ”
"Mei Sanniang, you are also a mother, everyone is for the good of their children, why bother each other."
