Many people in the village saw the items that Song Cai Niu Hua'er brought to the Niu family, and privately they felt that the Niu family had the idea of ​​letting their daughter and son-in-law take care of themselves until they die.

Suddenly, someone came up to Zhang Xiaomei and asked her in a roundabout way what she thought about this matter.

Zhang Xiaomei simply rolled her eyes: "The in-laws took the risk of not being able to return to their son for the rest of their lives, and came all the way here to find my third daughter-in-law. Not to mention letting the third daughter-in-law care for them until they die, they just want the third daughter-in-law to change her surname and become theirs."

Heir, my mother-in-law doesn’t even say a word!”

The good-hearted person was dumbfounded: "Then your son was raised in vain, and your daughter-in-law married in vain?"

Zhang Xiaomei rolled her eyes at her again: "Why don't you raise and marry for free? They will support my in-laws until the end of their lives. It's not like they can't provide for my mother-in-law until the end of her life! Besides, my family has land, land and a shop, so I don't have to worry about my old age.

Do you have anything to eat?"

The last sentence is fundamental, and it directly touches the hearts of those who do good things.

Yes, the old Song family needs money and people. Without their youngest son and daughter-in-law to support them in old age, they still have a big house and a second house that they are scrambling for. When there is no shortage of money or food, what does it matter if there are two missing people?

?

On the other hand, they are the ones worrying blindly. They can't grow crops in the fields and are still living on buying food. Their lives are tight. Who have the right to watch the old Song family's jokes.

Soon, Zhang Xiaomei's words spread in the village, and once again touched the hearts of many people. They began to envy Niu Dahan and Zhu Sanyu, for having a filial daughter and son-in-law, and for being enlightened.

's in-laws.

Naturally, the two elders of the Niu family also heard about it. They cried again in private and respected Zhang Xiaomei and Song Wufu even more.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the day of the Niu family's banquet, the Song family all got up early and came to the Niu family to help wash and cut vegetables in preparation for the noon banquet.

Song Xixi and Song Qingqing did not sleep in, and carried large nets and buckets to the deep pool to fish.

After a few nets, I caught two buckets full of big, lively fish. In less than an hour, they were taken out of the pan and turned into two big pots of fresh and crispy fried fish. The wafting fragrance attracted all the children in the village.

coming.

"Come, come, come, eat, eat, eat, each has a piece, everyone has it!" Niu Dahan looked at the group of children and was very happy. He picked out a large plate of hot fried fish and gave it to each child.

piece.

"Thank you, Grandpa Niu!" The children were also smart. They took the fried fish pieces and thanked them, then happily went home to share them with the adults.

These days, it is only during the holidays that we are willing to waste oil on making fried fish. For children, this is the second most delicious dish after braised pork.

Not long after, people from the village came to help one after another. Those who had been led by the Song family to do the tofu business and had saved some money even gave them a gift.

However, Niu Dahan and Zhu Sanyu didn't accept it, leaving only free vegetables and mushrooms like vegetables and mushrooms.

In addition to the hard dish of fried fish, the Niu family also bought dozens of kilograms of pork in advance and hung it in the Song family's well. When it was taken out of the well, it was ice cold and fresh, which made many people present want to dig a well.

thoughts.

With so many people helping out, Song Xixi seemed to have nothing to do, so she kept an eye on the dogs and cats, making sure they didn't jump on the table to steal the meat when no one was paying attention.

Wubai, in particular, was a habitual offender. He often went into the kitchen to steal food. Most of the time, he would even put a dead mouse in the food bowl.

It's not because it's disgusting, but because of its big-core brain, it thinks it's a barter for something, so it doesn't count as stealing, and you can't beat it if it's discovered.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou came over holding Tu Maomao: "Xixi, will you go to Xiushui Town in the near future?"

Mrs. Zhou is Zhou Taohua's mother and Tu Maomao's grandmother. Her legs and feet are not very agile, so she did not go to the tofu shop in Xiushui Town to help, but stayed in the village to take care of Tu Maomao and Tongtong.

Seeing Tu Maomao staring at the fried fish and swallowing his saliva, Song Xixi gave him two pieces: "There are a lot of things at home recently, and I have no plans to go to Xiushui Town for the time being. Is there anything wrong with Grandma Zhou?"

Mrs. Zhou shook her head and looked helpless at her grandson who was happily eating fried fish: "It's not Maomao yet. I haven't seen his mother in a few months. She has been quarreling with me recently. I was just wondering if you could go.

Take him to have a look."

At this point, she sighed: "There is also Tongtong. This girl is sick. She had a fever in the middle of the night and kept calling her brother and aunt..."

If Tu Maomao misses his mother and wants to go to Xiushui Town, Song Xixi might find time to take him there, and it would be convenient to ride Xiao Hei on either side.

But when she heard that Tongtong was still talking about her relatives when she was sick, she couldn't help but wonder if she wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble again.

In front of Mrs. Zhou, Song Xixi didn't show anything. She looked at Tu Maomao and asked, "Why is Maomao suddenly clamoring to see your mother?"

Tu Maomao tilted his head and thought for a moment, his eyes a little confused: "Mother is gone, mother doesn't want me anymore..."

Mrs. Zhou couldn't laugh or cry: "You kid, your mother is busy making money, why doesn't she want you? Is someone talking nonsense in front of you?"

Tu Maomao was mentally retarded and naturally couldn't answer her.

Song Xixi couldn't tell the truth, so she said to Mrs. Zhou: "I'm going to Xiushui Town later, and I'll take Maomao with me. As for Tongtong... it's okay to take one Maomao, but it's not convenient to take two."

Mrs. Zhou said hurriedly: "I know. When you go, I will give your Aunt Yang a message and ask her or Yuanbao to come back and take a look. Tongchang is still young and has no relatives around him. He always thinks about

I'm afraid they might easily get into trouble."

Song Xixi nodded and agreed.

Near noon, all the dishes were prepared and ready for dinner.

While Song Wufu was helping arrange the seats, Song Baolai walked quickly to the yard with someone and shouted to Song Xixi in the room: "Girl Xi, there is a bad man who wants to see you for something!"

Song Xixi came out and saw that it was an old acquaintance: "Captain Chang, why are you here?"

Captain Chang looked at the situation in the yard and made a gesture of invitation to Song Xixi.

Song Xixi understood and followed him outside.

When the villagers saw this scene, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves, guessing why Captain Chang came to look for Song Xixi.

The Song family is used to it, and they can fool people who ask questions with just a few words.

Outside the courtyard, Song Xixi asked: "Uncle Chang, is there another case in the Yamen that requires 250 and others to come over and help?"

Detective Chang's face was solemn: "Miss Song, the owner of Yongfa Casino, Bu Shiren, has escaped. Your Excellency has issued an arrest warrant and we are searching for him everywhere."

When Song Xixi heard this, he hurriedly said: "I will call them 250 and arrest them together with you!"

Inspector Chang shook his head and said seriously: "The purpose of my coming is to remind you and your family to be careful. We found Zou Chang's body outside the city this morning. His death was extremely tragic. We suspect that it was the work of Bu Shiren."
