Bai Churong went to the small foreign-style building and heard that the old man was planting vegetables in the garden behind. She changed her shoes and went there. It was mid-April now, and the ground had already melted. Mr. Tan was directing the guards to hoe the ground.
When Mr. Tan saw Bai Churong, he smiled and talked about his plan. In fact, just like last year, he would plant some peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, bitter melons and other vegetables in the backyard.
Bai Churong was a very competent daughter-in-law. Not only did she agree with a smile, she also praised Mr. Tan for working in the fields every year and not forgetting his roots, making him happy.
When Qu Yan saw her coming again, her face looked a little ugly. Before Tan Xingguo and his wife didn't come back, she could give some of the leftover things at home to Tan Xingli, and take the rest back to her parents' house. Now it's better, there's not enough food for her grandchildren.
Already.
After handing over the guards, Mr. Tan returned to the living room. He sat down and drank a cup of ginseng tea. He smiled and said: "Min Xing and Min Juan will be back on Sunday. You call Lao San tomorrow and ask him and Xiao Tian to come over.
Have a meal."
After talking about the matter that day, Tian Shao and Tan Yue's attitude towards him became better. If he asked them to come for dinner on Sunday, they would not refuse him even if he thought about it.
Bai Churong shook his head and said, "Dad, the third child and Xiao Tian were reported. They may not be in the mood to come over for dinner on Sunday."
Mr. Tan's eyes suddenly became sharp and he asked: "Why report Lao San and Xiao Tian?"
Tan Yue has been under his nose for more than ten years. He knows very well what kind of temperament he has and will not make any principled mistakes. Tian Shao is talented but too courageous. If anything happens, it can only be caused by her.
Bai Churong sighed and said: "Report that the source of the huge amount of property in the name of Lao San and Xiao Tian is unknown. After Lao San married Xiao Tian, ββhe registered and reported these three houses. The Supervisory Committee went to Lao San's unit to find out the whole story.
We checked. But we found out that the person who reported Xiao Yue Tian Shao was the fourth brother's brother-in-law."
Mr. Tan's whole body exuded a chill: "Who do you think reported it?"
Bai Churong specifically said that this matter should be investigated thoroughly before mentioning Ni Xiaopeng, otherwise the old man would definitely be angry: "Ni Xiaopeng, the biological brother of the fourth wife, I was afraid that I heard wrongly. I asked Xingguo one more time, and he said yes, it was Ni Xiaopeng who reported the matter.
of."
Speaking of this, anger flashed across her face: "In recent years, the Ni family has used our family's name to seek benefits. Now they are stabbing the third child and Xiaotian in the back. Dad, this matter between me and Xingguo is not the same."
No less.β
She believed that Ni Xiaozhen did not know about the report, but as Tian Shao said, if she had not told these things to her parents, how would they have known about it.
Mr. Tan sat next to the phone, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Yes, answer me as soon as possible."
As immediate family members, you cannot interfere with matters like this. But now that the inspection team has found out that his son and daughter-in-law were wrongly accused, and this incident is likely to be caused by Xiao Qiang, he naturally wants to find out.
After about five minutes, the phone rang.
After confirming that the reporter was really Ni Xiaozhen's brother, Mr. Tan became very angry and shouted: "Qu Yan, Qu Yan..."
Qu Yan was busy in the kitchen when she heard the call and came out quickly: "Old Tan, what's the matter? I'm making noodles and I'll make your favorite corn nest later."
Mr. Tan said with a cold face: "Call the fourth child and his wife."
Seeing her expression, Qu Yan's heart skipped a beat: "Old Tan, what's wrong?"
"You will know when they come."
Bai Churong explained the matter simply: "Aunt Qu, I believe that the fourth child didn't know about this. But the Ni family are our in-laws. Now that something like this happens, what do you want Xiaoyue and Xiaotian to think? They
They will think that it was Lao Si who instigated it, and they may even suspect that you were behind it all."
Qu Yan almost jumped up and said: "Old Tan, I have no conscience, I really don't know how to do this. Old Tan, even if I don't like Lao San, I will never do such a thing."
After being married for twenty years, Mr. Tan knows her very well. He will do some small things behind her back but will never bring trouble to his family: "Ask the fourth child and his wife to come. This matter must be clarified."
With Tian Shao's temper, if she doesn't give her a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid she won't come to visit her in the future. Alas, although capable people can have a bad temper, this person is his daughter-in-law, which is really hard to bear.
Tan Xingli's first reaction when he learned about this was to look at Ni Xiaozhen and asked: "Ni Xiaozhen, it was you who broke into the third sister-in-law's room and made the third sister-in-law's sister misunderstand. Just for such a little thing, you reported the third brother and the third sister-in-law, Ni Xiaozhen
, why are you so vicious?"
Ni Xiaozhen will naturally not admit anything she has never done: "This must be someone framing me and my children. Dad, I hope you can find someone to find out about this matter and clear my name and my children's innocence."
When they arrived at Xiaoyanglou and faced Mr. Tan and Bai Churong, Ni Xiaozhen said the same thing.
Mr. Tan said: "The investigation has been very clear. It is the third child and his wife who were reported by Ni Xiaopeng."
Ni Xiaozhen's heart sank, but she quickly reacted: "Dad, my brother has always been honest and would never dare to do such a thing. Dad, there must be some misunderstanding here."
Qu Yan no longer wanted this daughter-in-law, but the old man had traditional ideas, and Ni Xiaozhen would not agree to the divorce unless she made a mistake. She felt that this incident was an opportunity.
With this idea in mind, she attacked Ni Xiaozhen: "Fourth daughter-in-law, please admit honestly, did you instigate Ni Xiaopeng to do this?"
When Bai Churong heard this, he looked at her in surprise.
Ni Xiaozhen knew that Qu Yan didn't like her and wanted Tan Xingli to divorce her, so she quickly understood her purpose. She reacted quickly and cried: "Mom, you can't wrongly accuse me. It was you who told me that I knew
About this."
After speaking, she raised her hands and swore a poisonous oath, saying that if she instigated Ni Xiaopeng to do it, she would be left alone to die without a complete body.
Bai Churong asked: "You said this matter has nothing to do with you? But Ni Xiaopeng doesn't even know where the third family lives, so why did he report that the source of their huge wealth is unknown? Didn't you tell him this?"
Ni Xiaozhen wanted to deny it, but she knew that Mr. Tan was not easy to fool: "I, I was envious that the third brother and the third sister-in-law could live in such a big house, so I said a few words when I went back to my parents' home."
Bai Churong said with a straight face: "You not only said that the house is very big, you also told them that the third child's house is filled with many valuable antiques."
When Mr. Tan heard this, he couldn't help but interjected: "They also said that the third child's house is full of valuable antiques?"
Bai Churong shook his head and said: "Dad, it's not an antique, it's a handicraft that Xiaotian bought at Liulichang and the antique market. Everything in total only costs one or two hundred yuan."
Ni Xiaozhen's face was as pale as a ghost. Why would her sister-in-law know what she said at her parents' home?
