At dinner, Mrs. Li was just as Luo expected. Mrs. Bala-Bala complained that she hid the delicious food Tian Minyan and the others got, and that they were unfilial and did not take it out to honor their grandparents. Mrs. Jiang was stunned to hear this.
Face, glared hard at Tian Minyan and others.
Tian Minyan didn't grow up eating garlic, so she stabbed it back with hot and cold words on the spot, saying: "I heard Gou Sheng show off to Xiao Wu a while ago, saying that egg yolks are the most delicious. Gou Sheng is really lucky, we
Xiao Wu Lao hasn't eaten eggs for a long time. Second Aunt, do you think the dog's remaining life is good?"
A few days ago, Mrs. Jiang saw that an egg was missing from the earthen pot where eggs were stored, and she scolded him fiercely. However, she was not caught at the scene and was detained by the old man again, so that was all.
Coincidentally, Gou Sheng later had a quarrel with Xiao Wu, and when he said this casually, Tian Minyan knew what was going on.
Those eggs were laid by the two old hens at home. Jiang couldn't bear to eat them and didn't allow her family to eat them, so she kept them and sold them for money. The loss of one egg would be like killing her.
So nervous.
Li Shi looked at Tian Minyan's smiling face, but she felt horrified. She felt a chill around her. She turned around and saw Jiang Shi staring at her with a gloomy face, about to have an attack.
"Mom, we didn't steal the eggs, they were wild eggs that the dog left on the haystack." Mrs. Li quickly laughed and said, "I didn't see that he had lost weight this time, so I decided to cook him one."
People ate it secretly."
Tian Minyan sneered, with all the meat left on the dog, it could be put into the market? It's still called thin. Aren't the children in their third room just like pieces of paper?
"Hey, I'm so full of wild eggs. Second aunt, how many of them did you bring to honor my father and my mother? After the busy farming season, my grandfather has lost a lot of weight." Tian Minyan pretended to be surprised and asked with a smile.
Do you want to talk about filial piety with her? Are you Li worthy? If it doesn’t make you ashamed, you still don’t know who can be offended and who can’t be offended.
And looking at Tian Minyan's pretending to be innocent smile, Mrs. Li wanted to slap her ears. Wouldn't this add fuel to the fire?
"Hurrah!"
In the midst of secret resentment, Mrs. Jiang suddenly slammed the table, her eyes widened, she pointed at Mr. Li and cursed: "I'm just telling you, there are no eggs every three days. It turns out it was you, the rat."
Come on. You’re a foodie, why didn’t you take all the jars and chew them?”
"Mom, I don't have any. It was picked up by a dog." Li said sincerely: "How can I dare to take the eggs in the jar? I really don't have any."
"Bah! Why don't you see me picking it up? You are lucky to step on shit. You will step on shit when you give birth to a son. You are so lucky, huh? Bah! Look at your rat face...
"Jiang jumped up and cursed non-stop.
Tian Minyan lowered her head and chuckled, and suddenly she felt two vicious eyes looking over her. When she looked up, she saw Tian Minqing biting her lip and glaring at her fiercely.
Tian Minyan turned away her eyes and ignored her. She just picked up the bowl and started eating.
"That's enough. If this is not enough, two eggs are worth your while." Mr. Tian was busy eating when he saw that Jiang was starting to make trouble again. He couldn't help but slap the table hard.
Jiang also knew what the old man was worried about, and when he saw him having an attack, he didn't want to make any more trouble. He just pointed at Li and said fiercely: "You have eaten enough eggs, and you don't need to eat anymore. Go and clean the pig pen for me."
"Mom, it's late at night." When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately grimaced and said, "I haven't eaten enough yet."
"Whether you want to go or not, you won't have to eat anything." Jiang said with a sullen face and glared at the children in the second room.
"Mom, I still want to eat." Gou Sheng immediately acted coquettishly.
Seeing that the baby was so lumpy, Ms. Li bit her lip, then quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a large chopstick, scooped up half the rice in the bowl and swept it into her stomach, and then went out with bulging cheeks.
.
Tian Minyan was dumbfounded and once again admired Li's eating ability.
"There is no peaceful time." Mr. Tian couldn't let go of his worries because he was worried. He just lectured the family with a stern face: "You all should be more alert these days. Your uncle doesn't ask for any help from you.
Just don't cause any trouble for him, second brother, please also restrain your wife, don't let her go out and make irresponsible remarks, so that no one can see my old Tian family's jokes."
"Dad, I know. I'll beat that thing later." Tian Huaixiao nodded hurriedly.
Mr. Tian then picked up his chopsticks again. After he said this, the atmosphere in the main room suddenly became much quieter.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise in the front yard. After a while, the lights came on in the main room. In the west wing, Luo Shi was very sleepy and pushed Tian Huairen awake.
"Mom, what happened?" Tian Minyan was also woken up, rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"It's okay, you can go to sleep." Luo Shi replied in a low voice.
"I'll go take a look." Tian Huairen put on his clothes and walked out.
Tian Minyan listened for a while, as if Tian Huaide and the others suddenly came back. She was suspicious, but she couldn't open her eyes and only closed them in confusion.
After a while, Tian Huairen came back and said to Luo in a low voice: "It's okay, it's my eldest brother and sister-in-law who are back."
"Why are you coming home at this time?" After chatting for a while, the two of them lay down again, and Luo asked again.
"I heard from the eldest brother that Chen Xiaojuan was taken home by Tan Zhishi's house overnight." Tian Huairen said in a low voice, "Nothing happened, so I came home."
"Her uncle feels at ease now." Luo Shi said after saying "Oh."
"Well, it should be."
Tian Minyan felt a little confused after hearing this. Even if Chen Xiaojuan was kidnapped, there was no need for the uncle and aunt to come back in such a hurry. It was so dark, so why bother fighting for those few hours? What happened over there?
In the east chamber, Tian Huaide sat on the kang with a pale face, closing his eyes slightly and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Wash your face and go to sleep." Mrs. Chen came in with a basin of hot water, breaking the silence of the night.
"Why are you walking silently? I didn't scare you half of your life." Tian Huaide was startled and glared at her displeased.
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips but said nothing. She just put down the basin, took off his socks and soaked his feet in the water. She said softly: "It's my fault, it's over."
Tian Huaide snorted, then remembered what happened in Chenjiatun just now, and said in a deep voice: "If I had known that Chen Xiaojuan was so incompetent, I should have found someone else to marry into the Tan family. How could there be so many troubles?"
"It's done, isn't it now that the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up? That girl has also been taken back." Mrs. Chen's tone became softer and softer, and she said comfortingly: "Tomorrow, you can just wait for the paperwork to come down and be your eldest master.
.”
Tian Huaide's face softened slightly and he said with a worried look on his face: "Tell me, that old lady won't just..."
Recalling the scene of Chen Xiaojuan's grandmother who was so angry that she was hanging on the bed with only one breath left, Mrs. Chen's expression changed, she moved the corners of her mouth, and said half hesitantly and half sure: "No, she is strong."
Who would have thought that at dawn, they would receive the news of the death from Chenjiatun.
