Zhang Hugua felt nervous. He had already told his father about this while he was at home. His mother would definitely ask about the rat poison when she came back.
Fortunately, Shi Dan'er is fine. This time he admitted the matter of rat poison. His wife shouldn't beat or scold him, right?
Anyway, the rat poison must be given a provenance, and you can’t just say that you bought it for what it was used for.
But there is someone at home. If he doesn’t take the blame, who will?
Zhang Hugua glanced at his father quietly.
With this thought in my mind, I immediately started crying like an old lady, "Mom! My son bought it, isn't it because there are rats in our house? I just wanted to buy a pack of rat medicine and come back to make some noise.
Before I had time, I was hiding under the bed, but I didn’t know that Shidan’er Greedy would have caught me out!”
"My son also regrets it very much! He didn't expect that the stone egg would be turned out, but he ate it as if it were edible! Fortunately, the stone egg was fine, otherwise my son would not be alive!"
One of the eldest sons was crying so much that old Mrs. Deng frowned.
regret?
She didn't seem to hear it at all.
She glanced at Zhang Laodou without any trace, and she said in surprise: "We haven't seen any mice in our house since the war started. How come there are mice in your house so well? Why didn't I listen to what the Miao family said?
Fourth brother, you too. If you didn’t tell me there was a rat, why did you go and buy rat poison without saying a word? Forget it, you are an adult now, not a kid anymore. You don’t know how powerful that thing is.
?There is a little baby at home, why don’t you put it under the bed?”
Zhang Hugua still cried, regretting all the time, "Mom, I know I was wrong. Didn't I think so much at the time? There were just two rats. I thought it would be a big deal. I put the rat poison under the bed.
It was so tight, how could you have known that the stone egg would fall over?"
"Shi Dan'er is still young, so he needs to be watched at all times. Mom, you and the baby are working at Aunt Yuan's place. Ask Zaohua to keep a close eye on her. This child is sleeping on his own and doesn't take a good look at his brother.
Otherwise, how could Shi Dan'er have suffered such a crime?"
He said that he did not forget to make amends for himself. After all, he was so angry that he kicked Zaohua. With so many people watching, he was afraid that his mother would criticize him.
Old Deng felt even colder after hearing this, and was about to say something else. Over there, Old Dou Zhang spoke, "Ju Niang, the fourth child didn't do it on purpose. How could he have thought that Shi Dan'er would touch the rat poison? Fortunately, he didn't do it on purpose.
Nothing serious has happened to Shi Dan'er, so I've been reassured. It's useless to talk too much now, right? Let's just take good care of Shi Dan'er from now on."
"In the future, my health will be bad and I won't be able to work. That's okay. After a while, when my family becomes more affluent, we will set up a shop for the fourth child in the town. Then Shidaner will be raised in the town and he will go there too.
He will go to school, and from now on this store will be left to him. He will just be the shopkeeper's cashier, and he won't have to do any other work. That'll be fine."
When Old Mrs. Deng heard this, her heart became even colder.
After all these years, how could she not understand Mr. Zhang?
Normally, the fourth child would have bought rat poison out of nowhere and almost killed his grandson at home. If he didn't get angry, he would have told the fourth child, and he wouldn't have come out to help her when she said something about the fourth child.
Begged for mercy.
Something weird!
How could she not know if there were mice in the house?
So this rat medicine is definitely not for rat trouble.
And Mr. Zhang must know about Mr. Si’s purchase of rat poison.
I can't tell, but he asked Lao Si to buy it.
The more Mr. Deng thought about it, the more he realized the truth.
Why don't you buy rat poison if you don't make a fuss?
Old Mrs. Deng's heart suddenly palpitated as she thought about Zhang Yang's departure yesterday afternoon.
Is this old guy planning to poison people to death quietly?
Old Mrs. Deng felt a chill running down her spine, but she had been hiding for half her life, and even though her heart was in turmoil, nothing could be seen on her face.
After a while, she snorted, "It's okay for Shidan'er too! Fourth, you are already a father in your twenties, so please give me some advice! With the lessons learned this time, I think you'll be better next time."
Dare you do things without using your brain!"
Seeing his mother's relaxed tone, Zhang Hugua also breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "I've learned a lesson, I won't dare to do it next time, don't worry, mother!"
He was also scared! He originally bought it at his father's command and poisoned Zhang Yang, but he never thought of harming his own son in the end. This man really cannot do bad things, God is watching.
He thought that if his father asked him to buy rat poison again, he would not dare to go there again.
Zhang Laodou was glanced at by his son, how could he not know what he was thinking?
I snorted in my heart, this guy is not doing his job well, I won't ask him to get involved next time, otherwise I won't screw him up and make him suffer.
Therefore, it is better to do this kind of thing secretly by yourself, which is safer.
Seeing that his wife finally stopped asking about this matter, Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to continue talking about the pear blossoms, but he also planned to slow down for a while. It was not until he had dinner and rested and someone lay next to him that he thought about it and opened his mouth.
"Ju Niang, I heard some gossip outside this afternoon, saying that the Cheng family has decided that the baby must be born on the ninth day of August to celebrate the birth. I vaguely remember that the pear blossom seems to be where it falls on the night of the ninth day, right?
"
Old Mrs. Deng was lying inside, with his back half turned to Mr. Zhang, who was about to go to sleep. He was in his fifties, how could he be so affectionate without going to bed?
Besides, since she gave birth to Xiangye and learned the truth about Li Dachui's death, she has never really had a good relationship with Mr. Zhang.
He only said that it hurt her body, but originally Zhang Laodou wanted to ask her to regenerate.
Now that I'm older, I'm used to just lying on the same bed, which is no different from sleeping in separate rooms.
Leng Buding heard Zhang Lao Dou mention this matter without sleeping, and Lao Deng immediately mentioned it in his heart.
This old guy, even if he sticks his butt out, she already knows what he wants her to do.
Lihua is already engaged, this old guy still wants to mess around?
Sure enough! After taking advantage of others to get ten taels of silver, you are still not willing to accept it.
These old guys! How can I see them living a comfortable life?
She had long understood that in Lihua's marriage, she would not get any dowry when she got married, so she secretly gave the two pieces of jewelry she had saved to Lihua, taking advantage of this year to squeeze out some money and hide it.
When the time comes, I’ll also give it to Pear Blossom.
The Zhou family also knew in their hearts that they would not make any small talk because of the small dowry of Lihua.
But don’t guess what this old guy is thinking. He still wants to torment others!
"It's the ninth day of August, what's wrong? Pear blossom is not from Zizheng. Do you want to deceive the Cheng family? If people know about it, we can't just live with it!"
She said if it's not Zizheng, it's not Zizheng. Can this old guy know if it's the ninth day of the Lunar New Year or if he heard it from outside in the afternoon? How can he care enough to remember which day?
She remembered the day Pear Blossom was born, but he went to bed early, what the hell!
