924, the original partner who refuses to give way fourteen
The box fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
If you don’t find anything after searching for a long time, you will be disappointed, but you won’t be angry. It took you a long time to find the box, and the box is too delicate. It looks like it is meant to contain a lot of silver. But it is empty inside.
.
The feeling of being handed a bucket of cold water in the face of ecstasy is really uncomfortable.
Mrs. Li held the ladder down and looked at the fragments on the ground. She was still angry and stepped on it twice. Then she took the ladder out and put it away. When she was about to close the door of the main room, she saw the fragments of the box on the ground and thought about it.
He stepped forward to pick it up and prepared to throw it into the stove to be burned as firewood.
While picking it up, Mrs. Li suddenly thought, why would Zhou Roulan put a delicate box on the beam?
Was it to test her?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li began to regret again. She shouldn't have smashed the box impulsively, and she might as well have put it back in its original position.
But everything was smashed... After thinking about it, she wiped off her footprints on the box and put it back in place.
Then she exited and closed the door again. She opened the yard door and planned to borrow a cat next door.
In this way, it should be seamless.
Mr. He next door was taking care of her children at home. After learning Mr. Li’s intention, she did not refuse. This was a good thing for both families. If Mr. Li took the cat away, there would definitely be fewer mice in the house. And she
Also, you don’t have to feed the cat.
Previously, Mr. He went to Lin Xuniang and told nonsense in her ears, which made Lin Xuniang, who had already intended to leave, bite off a large piece of Hu's flesh before leaving. Ms. Li will remember this all her life.
In her heart, Ms. Li was unwilling to come to the door. But at this moment, she didn't know who had a cat. The box was broken, so she had to take the cat back before Zhou Roulan got home anyway.
Since she was here to borrow something, Mrs. Li looked pretty good. When she was holding the cat and preparing to leave, she still couldn't help but ask, "Why did you go and say those things to Xu Niang in the first place?"
This thing is really weird.
Originally, even if a person knew that someone else's man was hooking up with a woman, if the relationship wasn't particularly good, why would he tell his wife?
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to stir up trouble and stir up trouble?
To put it simply, they are not human inside and out.
He is not stupid, how could he do such a thing?
Hearing Ms. Li's question, Ms. He was a little surprised. In fact, she was quite surprised to see this aunt come to the door today. What she did back then made the Hu family want to chop her with a knife.
She hesitated to speak: "Just...just say what you want to say."
Mrs. Li didn't believe this. One look at her nephew-in-law's expression, and there must be something else going on.
"You wait for me!"
Without saying a word, Mrs. Li quickly went home with the cat in her arms, opened the window of the main room and threw the cat in. Then she went back to the next door.
Mr. He was already sweeping the yard, and the bamboo broom rustled on the ground, making it difficult to hear what he was saying.
Ms. Li thought this matter was very important. You must know that if Lin Xuniang didn't know the inside story, she would probably just leave. But after knowing it, she took away nearly a hundred taels of silver from the Hu family.
It's about a hundred taels of silver, isn't it important?
He immediately snatched the broom from his niece-in-law: “Let’s make it clear first and then we’ll do it.”
He was silent: "Nothing else, it's just nonsense that I just said on a whim."
"I don't believe it." Mrs. Li said with a serious face: "You know that Lin Xu Niang took so much money with her when she left our house. She had already planned to leave because you told her about Zhou Roulan.
, she had to leave with the money!"
He frowned and said, "Actually, I don't understand either."
Li's eyes lit up: "As expected, someone asked you to deliberately ruin our family's affairs, right?"
Mrs. He looked around, sent the child out, and then whispered: "You may not believe it, but the person who asked me to reveal this matter to Xu Niang is..."
"Who is it?" Ms. Li's tone was urgent. To find out who it was, she had to tear her mouth out. And she was already thinking about how to tear her mouth apart and how to curse.
He's expression was hard to describe, "Yes...it's Roulan."
Mrs. Li was tearing her heart out with joy and subconsciously said: "Impossible!"
He spread his hands: "Actually, I can't understand it either. Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it myself."
Li's eyebrows were so furrowed that they could kill a mosquito, and she asked in confusion: "But what is she trying to do?"
"I'm not the roundworm in her belly, how would I know?" He said in an angry tone.
Because of what she said to Lin Xu Niang, there was a quarrel in the street. After she came back, both her mother-in-law and her husband said that she was talking nonsense and shouldn't have said those things. There was a quarrel at home for many days.
Of course, He didn't say it for nothing. At that time, Zhou Roulan gave her a benefit of one tael of silver, but the silver was secretly sent back to her parents' home to marry her younger brother. Therefore, facing the blame from her husband and mother-in-law, she could only
He broke his teeth and swallowed them.
Mrs. Li was full of doubts. When she returned home, she found that the couple had returned.
She is still hungry, and these two have no filial piety at all. Mrs. Li thought that she could no longer spoil them, so she immediately said: "I have only been out for a day, and I am still sick. Do you want to starve me to death?"
Zhou Roulan acted as if she didn't hear anything and got up and went back to the house.
Hu Qili explained: "Mom, I'll take Roulan to check your pulse. The baby is important. Aren't your illnesses much better? Can't you cook and eat by yourself?"
Li: "..."
She was about to talk to her son carefully. Zhou Roulan rushed out: "Did you come into my house?"
Li's eyelids twitched and she said louder than her: "No. Don't accuse me wrongly!"
Zhou Roulan crossed her arms and sneered: "It's not just because you have a loud voice! If you get in, you will get in. How shameless are you to lie to others despite your age?"
Being called shameless by her daughter-in-law, this was the first time that Li had encountered her after decades of living. She immediately said angrily: "There have been mice in the house recently, and a lot of food in the kitchen has been destroyed. I brought the cat back,
If there is any disturbance in your house, it may be caused by a cat. Don't slander others with your mouth. I am your mother-in-law and an elder. Be careful what you say. Don't let people say that the Zhou family is uneducated."
"Education?" Zhou Roulan mocked: "No matter how uneducated my Zhou family is, I will not go rummaging through other people's houses. What are you looking for? Looking for money?"
Seeing her aggressiveness, Hu Qili also felt that it was a bit too much, so he stepped forward and scolded her: "Don't talk nonsense, my mother is ill in bed, how can she find the strength to break through our house?"
Zhou Roulan pointed at the two faint new holes on the ground: "Does it look like they were made by placing a ladder?" Then she pointed to the fragments of the box next to her: "I hid these on the beam. Your mother moved the ladder.
She came in and dug through our rafters. She also took down all the boxes I put on the rafters. What does she want to do?"
The question left Hu Qili speechless.
Zhou Roulan was still not relieved and continued to ridicule: "Sure enough, the rumors outside are correct. Your mother is a person who likes to collect money. She especially likes to steal money from her daughter-in-law."
Although this is true, it is too unpleasant to say. Ms. Li feels that she is an elder. Originally, her son and daughter-in-law did not respect her enough, and now she says such things. In the future, she will not be able to criticize her in a weird way? Can she still live in that life?
Li was furious: "You have to provide evidence. What did I steal? What was in your house? Did you lose something? You talk nonsense and slander your elders. Is this the upbringing of your Zhou family?"
Zhou Roulan pointed at the two shallow pits on the ground: "Are these the signs of a ladder? You didn't steal anything, it was because I hid it well. Otherwise, would you not take it?"
If she had taken it, Mrs. Li might have settled the matter and stopped making trouble. But she didn't take anything, how could she bear the grievance?
"If I had known earlier that you were disrespectful to your elders, I shouldn't have agreed to let you in in the first place. The dowry gift I gave you was still my private room. If I didn't use it as a betrothal gift for you, would I have no money to buy medicine?"
Zhou Roulan sneered: "You want to marry a daughter-in-law, but you don't want to give a bride price. Just have your big dream."
"Of course I will give you a betrothal gift when I marry my daughter-in-law. But don't you know what your identity is?" If Mrs. Li had some expectations for this new daughter-in-law before, now she really felt that she could not be counted on. Of course.
No longer polite: "You have served other men's filthy body, do you have the nerve to ask for a betrothal gift? I let you in for the sake of my son! But it turned out that you didn't respect your elders after entering, and you even tried to win over my son and refused to let you in.
He takes care of me. You are just a vixen, a shameless vixen who seduces married women..."
Mrs. Li has been in the town for many years, and she has never failed to quarrel with others. She opens her mouth and stabs people where they hurt the most.
Zhou Roulan's complexion changed several times.
Whether she admits it or not, Ms. Li is her mother-in-law. Mother-in-law can scold her daughter-in-law, but daughter-in-law cannot scold her mother-in-law in turn. Even if she speaks louder, someone will poke her in the spine. If the quarrel continues and spreads outside, no matter it is
Whose fault it is, it is her daughter-in-law’s fault in the end. Thinking of this, Zhou Roulan stopped arguing. She held her waist with one hand and touched her slightly protruding belly with the other, and said in a trembling voice: "I have a stomachache..."
Hu Qili rushed forward and protected her waist, his face full of anxiety: "Where does it hurt? How much does it hurt? Do you need to see a doctor?"
Mrs. Li felt like she couldn't hold her breath, and her chest felt uncomfortable. With her daughter-in-law being so virtuous, and her son acting like he couldn't live without her, what could she expect from her in the future?
Thinking of her son always talking about the ninety-odd taels of silver, Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said, "Let me ask you something. Xu Niang was planning to leave at the beginning. Why did you let my niece-in-law next door tell her about you?"
