After hearing what Chen Tingjun said, Luo Sanniang was full of questions and said thoughtfully: "The courtyard next to my old house of the Chen family? Isn't that the yard of the ancestral house of the second sister-in-law Zhang? Are you saying that Fang Mengshan asked Ah Liu to move things inside? ?Li Yunniang is also following inside? But this yard has nothing to do with Fang Mengshan and Li Yunniang. What are the two of them doing inside? Did you see clearly what Ah Liu was moving?" After saying that, Luo Sanniang didn't know what it was. He took out a piece of candy from somewhere and kept throwing it up and down in his hand.

Chen Tingjun stared at the piece of candy, his eyes moving up and down as it was tossed. He swallowed and said absently: "I didn't see this clearly. Mother-in-law, you also know that there is no one in the old house." There was only one old willow tree among the trees. I hid behind that, otherwise the three people would definitely see it. In addition, the things I moved were all in black and white bags. Even if I could get closer, I couldn't see them. Come out."

Luo Sanniang thought about it and asked Chen Tingjun but couldn't figure it out, so she threw the candy directly to him. After thinking about it, she felt that what he found out today was quite useful. After discussing with Chen Dawei, he might be able to find out something big. Uncertain, he took out another candy and threw it to him.

Chen Tingjun happily thanked Luo Sanniang after receiving two candies. Luo Sanniang waved her hand and went into the inner hall. She told Chen David again what Chen Tingjun said, and then asked: "David, as expected, it's not what you said." I just don’t know what Fang Mengshan transported into the courtyard of the ancestral home of Mrs. Zhang’s mother-in-law. Hey, tell me what it could be? It’s mysterious.”

Chen Dawei twirled his beard, frowned and shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, how can I know what it is? Do you think I am a god and you can still predict it?"

Luo Sanniang was robbed by Chen Dawei, and she was speechless. She sat there in a daze. Chen Dawei saw her embarrassment, patted Luo Sanniang, and said: "Okay, okay, we are an old married couple." Well, don’t you know that I am just trying to express my pleasure for a moment, but don’t take it to your heart.”

Then he changed the subject and said: "It's not like you don't know what kind of person Fang Mengshan is. If it weren't for some tricks and Zhang Ersao's temperament, then the old house would transport things to Fang Mengshan? Then Ah Liu belongs to Fang Mengshan. It is inevitable for people to be in it. What makes me confused is why Li Yunniang is also in it? He and Fang Mengshan are not related, and Li Wuyi has no contact with Fang Mengshan. Even counting one generation up, then Li Yunniang is not related to Fang Mengshan. My family is even richer in Huahu Village, but the Fang family is impoverished. How can he rise so high? This is really strange."

Luo Sanniang said: "After listening to what Ting Jun said, I felt that there was something wrong here. Do you think, who does Li Yunniang have the best relationship with?"

Chen David was not as clear about these things as Luo Sanniang, so he shook his head, but Luo Sanniang smiled and teased: "Hey, there is finally something in this village that you don't know about. It's rare. It's rare."

Chen Dawei said impatiently: "Okay, don't try to sell me any more, just say it quickly."

Luo Sanniang said: "That's Er Niang. You stopped going out after you were injured. Maybe you don't know that Yun Niang and Er Niang are very close. It can be said that they are close friends."

Chen Dawei seemed to suddenly realize it. He made a hiss and said, "It's related to Er Niang again. Since Ting Jun saw that my Chen family's old house was locked, it probably has nothing to do with the old house. Li Yun Niang and Er Niang The relationship is so close, and Li Yunniang appears in the old house of Mrs. Zhang again, will it be possible..."

Luo Sanniang seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said: "You mean that the things Fang Mengshan moved in have something to do with Er Niang? Oh my god, how much will it cost to let Fang Mengshan move things in? This little girl knows She's a prodigal, I think it's better to sell her!" Luo Sanniang felt heartbroken at the thought of spending a lot of money. She frowned and scolded Chen Bing in her heart.

Chen Dawei countered: "What are you doing, why are you proposing to sell my second wife? We can wait until she is old enough to talk about this matter. Don't mention it now! Well, letting Fang Mengshan do things will not cost ten or twenty cents." It's so simple, how can you not touch him without him? Hum hum, so think about it with your brain, how can Erniang have so much money? Even if Westinghouse deducts some money every time he sells fish I won’t be able to save that much if I come down. I’m still very relieved about this.”

Chen Dawei continued: "Since my Chen family's old house has not been touched, it makes me feel relieved.

I feel relieved a lot. But these two ladies still make me uneasy after all. So, how are you arranging what I told you last time? Tingjun is the bow and arrow in your hand. He will shoot wherever you point. This You can ask him to pay attention to things. Hey, I always feel that Erniang is carrying some kind of secret."

Luo Sanniang rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully: "Secret? What secrets can there be in Er Niang? She is just a fisherman's girl from the countryside. I think you lie down with your legs folded too much, eat too much, and think wildly."

"You!" Chen David was about to scold Luo Sanniang, but after thinking about it, he swallowed those words again and said, "Okay, okay, you and I will just wait and see."

Li Yuniang clenched her two small fists and gave Hu Qiniang a light tap on the shoulder. Hu Qiniang stretched her body, turned around and lightly scratched Li Yuniang's exquisite nose, and said with a smile: "I just counted, you My mother and daughter have sewed more than 200 cloth bags. If we continue at this rate, we should be able to sew 3,000 bags before New Year's Day. If that's not enough, I can sew them for you after New Year's Day."

After Li Yunniang thanked her father and mother, she looked at the sky outside the window. Most of the egg-yellow sun had submerged under Taihu Lake. It was already past Shenshi. She stood up and poured a bowl for Li Wuyi and Hu Qiniang. Rice soup, said: "Dad, Mom, I think it's getting late, so I'll send the mushrooms to Er Niang, and then tell her about the sulfur, saltpeter and cloth bag today."

Li Yunniang carried a basket on her back and arrived at the gate of Chen's house. She saw that the gate of the yard was open. She looked inside and saw no one in the yard. Although she was a little confused, she still shouted at the door, "Second mother, I'm coming in." , then stepped into the courtyard door. She walked to the door of the west room and was waiting to knock on the door when she heard the quarrel between Chen Bing, Chen Xingzu and Chen Tingyao coming from inside.

Chen Xingzu said: "Er Niang, I thought you would be more obedient and sensible after going through many things, but you are still so ignorant!"

Chen Bing said, "Dad, it's not that my daughter is unreasonable, but she doesn't want you to hand over all your belongings. Westinghouse should also leave some wealth for emergencies."

Chen Tingyao leaned on the floor, coughed a few times, and his voice was a little hoarse. He said, "Dad, my second mother is right. You have handed over all the family's assets. What should I do if the West House needs urgent use?"

Chen Xingzu said: "Of course I'll ask my mother for it. Da Lang, Er Niang, you two need to know that my mother-in-law is my mother, Weng Weng is my father, and I was born between them. I should respect him."

"Two of you, this is my unshirkable responsibility. Since we live under the same roof, I should be filial to my parents. It is my duty as a son of man to hand over my money to my parents!"

Chen Bing pursed her lips and said: "Dad, I didn't say I wouldn't pay a penny of this money. Since I brought it all back, I naturally have to give it to my mother-in-law. But I can't give it all, even if I just keep ten guans, it's better

"." But he thought in his heart: "No matter what, I can't hand over these fifty strings to my mother-in-law today, otherwise I'm afraid the days after this West Wing will become more and more difficult."

Ye Meiniang was not suitable to interrupt. She thought that she was the bride of the Chen family after all, so she couldn't criticize Yan Gu too much. However, West House really had no money. Just like yesterday, Da Lang was ill. If it hadn't happened that Er Niang had gone to Gu Zhushan to collect medicine.

I didn't have any money around to pay for the consultation, not even the medicine.

Thinking of this, she no longer remained silent and echoed: "Xingzu, what Er Niang and Da Lang said are right. We need to keep some emergency supplies at home. You said to ask Aunt Yan for it,

But when did Aunt Yan give you money? If it hadn't been for my second brother from my mother's side who brought me a piece of silver when he came to see me, my second mother would not have been able to pay for the doctor's fee and the medicine she paid for the Cowherd after she jumped into the lake. Go and ask.

If Yan Gu wants it, will she really give it to you? Er Niang has been lying in the house for a long time. Has Yan Gu ever come to visit and care about her? Why does Er Niang lie in the house? Doesn't Yan Gu have any idea?

When I was pregnant with my first child, I suffered from various physical discomforts. In the middle of winter, I did all the washing, washing, and cooking. I was not a country girl. I had no ability to do these things.

Complaints. But Aunt Yan shouldn’t have spoken harshly to me. Instead, she treated me coldly and sarcastically. You know, a kind word will warm you in the winter, but a bad word will hurt someone in the winter.”

The more Ye Meiniang talked, the more excited she became. She thought of all the harsh criticisms Yan Gu had made against her and the grievances she had suffered in the Chen family over the years. She also thought that Er Niang almost lost her life because of Yan Gu, and she became even more unhappy.

is low

cried out loudly.

Chen Bing wiped Ye Meiniang's tears with his own handkerchief, and at the same time used secret energy to gently massage the acupuncture points on her back.

Ye Meiniang patted Chen Bing on the shoulder, indicating that she was fine, and continued: "It was the cold winter when Da Lang was born. Po Wen told her that she was giving birth to a boy. She came in and took a look, as if to pay attention to her newborn grandson.

My son didn't take it to heart. Normally, Aunt Yan should take out a new wrapper to wrap the newborn baby, but Aunt Yan actually took off her own shirt and wrapped it around my elder brother! I gave birth to my elder brother.

I had suffered so much and was extremely weak. I had no way to refute what Yan Gu did, so I had to let it go. And Yan Gu ignored me even more. Xingzu, even if a cat or a dog gave birth, it should be

Give me some food and care, not to mention that I am still a bride of the Chen family, and I am giving birth to a grandson of the Chen family’s flesh and blood! It’s been less than a month since I gave birth to the first son, how can I not be responsible for this household chores? Alas! Since then, I have become more and more afraid of Yan.

Aunt Yan was even more resistant to getting pregnant again. Maybe it was because my body never recovered after giving birth to Da Lang. After that, I had no money for five years, so Aunt Yan was even more harsh on me.

.Although I have become accustomed to it over the years, the resentment in my heart is really hard to swallow."

Listening to Ye Meiniang's words, Chen Bing felt very sad. She understood that what her mother seemed to be saying was all her mother-in-law's fault, but in fact, she was complaining about her father's inaction. Chen Bing sighed in his heart and glanced at Chen Xingzu, but Chen Xingzu still stood there blankly, saying nothing.

Ye Meiniang took a sip of the tea in front of her and said: "Xingzu, I want to persuade you this time. Don't say that I am too talkative. The family cannot leave nothing behind. I agree with Dalang and Erniang. You more or less always have to leave some behind."

Chen Xingzu didn't expect Ye Meiniang's attitude to be so tough this time, but he still didn't let go. He also took a sip of tea and sighed: "Hey, Meiniang, you and I have been married for almost 20 years. Is there anything strange about it?" Yes. One thing you also know is that the Wujiajiao Store, Deyilou, and Dexianlou in Changxing County no longer accept my fish, so from now on the fish will have to be sold to Han Xiaosi of the fish shop, and he gave me The price is really low. Da Lang, Er Niang, you two need to know that the fish you catch will become less and less valuable in the future. So this time I got a lot of money, so I gave it to my mother-in-law to teach her how to be happy. I’m so happy, I’m afraid I’ll have to eat chaffy vegetables in the future.”
