Qian Shulan asked Du Damei to continue lying down and resting. She fell from such a high platform, luckily she didn't die, but she also had a concussion. But because of her identity, Qian Shulan couldn't send her to the hospital. So she could only take care of herself.
Qian Shulan left the room and went to the main room.
When Sun Daqin saw her mother-in-law come in, she insisted on taking Qian Shulan to her room.
Qian Shulan was startled by her mysterious action, but she still followed her.
Arriving at the east room, Qian Shulan sat on the kang and watched Sun Daqin peeking out until she was sure no one was around before she closed the door. Seeing her so serious, Qian Shulan guessed that she must be talking about something important.
Sun Daqin came over and whispered something in Qian Shulan's ear, which made Qian Shulan so angry that she jumped up and down and even cursed, "You fart!"
The story is this: Qian Shulan was not at home yesterday, so Sun Daqin, as a temporary accountant, was in charge of checking the eggs. They counted the eggs in each basket several times beforehand.
But one of the baskets was missing an egg, and the others were busy counting eggs and it was impossible for them to steal it.
It happened that Sun Daqin found another egg in Xiaomin's cloth bag. Xiaomin was the one who stole the egg.
But for the sake of her daughter's reputation, Sun Daqin did not make it public, but quietly put the egg back into the basket.
After returning home, Sun Daqin asked Xiaomin if she had stolen the eggs, and Xiaomin admitted it.
Stealing is a bad habit. She was so angry that she wanted to beat the child, but she thought that the child was her mother-in-law's sweetheart, and she was worried that Xiao Min would complain to her mother-in-law when she came back.
At that time, her mother-in-law would definitely criticize her, so Sun Daqin suppressed her anger and lectured the child a few words, hoping to let her mother-in-law take care of the child when she came back.
But who would have thought that after she said that, her mother-in-law didn't believe her at all. Sun Daqin was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, "Really, mother, you believe me!"
Qian Shulan stood up from the kang, squinted her eyes and looked at her, her voice a little cold, "Did you see her stealing eggs with your own eyes? Did you catch her red-handed?"
Sun Daqin was stunned for a moment, then she retorted, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, she did have eggs in her pocket, and she admitted it! Mom, I really didn't wrongly accuse her. If you don't believe me, call Xiao Min over and ask her."
"Just ask!" She just didn't believe it. In her grandmother's previous life, a kind-hearted little cabbage not only didn't grow well under her education, but it even grew crooked.
After Qian Shulan finished speaking, she opened the door, walked quickly to the main room, and called out to Xiao Min who was playing happily with the twins, "Xiao Min, come to grandma."
"Milk~" Xiao Min came over skipping and jumping, and when she saw Sun Daqin, she quickly burrowed into Qian Shulan's arms.
Qian Shulan picked up Xiao Min and winked at Sun Daqin behind her.
The two went to the east room, and Qian Shulan carried Xiao Min to the kang.
Xiao Min lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look at Sun Daqin.
Qian Shulan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that it was really like what Sun Daqin said? As soon as this thought came to her mind, Qian Shulan shook it out of her head. How could it be possible? She smiled and touched Xiao Min's head, "Xiao Min, be good, tell grandma, did you steal eggs from the chicken farm yesterday?"
Xiao Min lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and pursed her lips tightly.
Qian Shulan didn't give up and continued to coax her, "Be good and tell grandma, okay?"
Xiao Min slowly raised her head and glanced at Sun Daqin, then lowered her head again.
Seeing this, Qian Shulan winked at Sun Daqin, meaning that you should go out first.
Sun Daqin nodded, without saying a word, opened the door of the east room and walked out.
Qian Shulan warned from behind, "Don't eavesdrop!"
Sun Daqin awkwardly showed her face through the crack of the door and smiled flatteringly at Qian Shulan, "Mom, I would never do such a thing."
Qian Shulan waved her hands and didn't even have the courage to say anything. You've done this kind of thing so often!
Sun Daqin closed the door to the east room feeling somewhat guilty.
In the east room, Qian Shulan touched Xiao Min's soft little face and coaxed her softly, "Xiao Min, tell grandma, didn't we agree that we should share everything together?"
Xiao Min slowly raised her head and said, "Grandma, I didn't steal the eggs."
Qian Shulan nodded, secretly relieved, "Then your mother said you were holding an egg in your hand, what's going on?"
Xiao Min looked at Qian Shulan shyly, "That egg was cooked. My mother gave me one for lunch and dinner the day before yesterday. I wanted to save one for grandma, so I put it in my pocket."
Although Qian Shulan was very generous with Xiao Min's food, the supply was not unlimited.
After all, Xiao Min is already four years old. Children of this generation are a bit precocious. In addition, Xiao Min has been trained by her to be eloquent and can express anything.
It would be bad if those malicious adults told her that she was extravagant at home. So Qian Shulan only gave Xiaomin one egg for each meal. Of course, she also had one for herself.
Even meat was only eaten twice a month, one of which was a rooster she bought from a chicken farm, and the other was wild boar meat she got from her space.
Hearing that Xiao Min was still thinking about her while eating, Qian Shulan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. Xiao Min was really thoughtful.
But she soon discovered that things were not that simple. If it was just Sun Daqin misunderstanding Xiaomin, why didn't Xiaomin refute Sun Daqin's words
After all, Xiao Min was holding a cooked egg in her hand. As long as she wanted to prove herself, she just had to peel the egg and Sun Daqin would believe that she did not steal the egg.
But Xiao Min has not proved herself, and that's a problem.
"Are you hiding something from me?" She tried to reason. "Do you know the man who stole the eggs? Are you taking the blame for someone else?"
Xiao Min opened her big round eyes and looked at her breast in disbelief.
She struggled a little, then whispered, "The eggs were stolen by the boy from the pig farm. I accidentally saw him stealing them."
The little brother from the pig farm? The grandfather and grandson that Fang Zhongjun specially asked her to take care of? Stealing eggs is fine, but the kid actually let Xiaomin take the blame for her. Isn't that too scheming
Qian Shulan clenched her fists, narrowed her eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "Did he threaten you not to tell me?"
Xiao Min frowned and asked curiously, "Grandma, what is a threat?"
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment and explained to her, "He just doesn't want you to tell anyone else, otherwise he will beat you up or something like that."
After hearing this explanation, Xiao Min shook her head and said, "No, no, he didn't threaten me. When he stole the eggs, he didn't notice me hiding in the corner. He ran away after stealing the eggs. Later, the adults came to count the eggs, and my mother happened to count the basket, so she thought I took it."
After hearing what she said, Qian Shulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she really didn't know how to take care of the grandfather and grandson. Qian Shulan touched Xiaomin's little head and asked curiously, "Why didn't you tell the truth to your mother? It's obvious that you didn't steal the eggs?"
Xiao Min pursed her lips and whispered, "That little brother is so pitiful. His hands are red and swollen like carrots, and there are bloody cuts on them." She thought for a moment and said, "Didn't grandma say he was a good man? I don't want others to know that he did something bad."
Qian Shulan sighed heavily. After all, she was not a teacher. How should she teach in such a situation
Ask Xiao Min to stop being such a saint? The life or death of that child has nothing to do with her. But being so straightforward is too ruthless. Besides, it is not good for the child's growth.
Qian Shulan sighed heavily and decided to educate her based on the facts. "Xiao Min, although that brother is a good man, he shouldn't steal eggs. This is wrong. Grandma will educate him later. If he corrects himself, he is still a good boy. If he insists on stealing things again, he is a bad boy. If Xiao Min still protects a bad guy, it is also wrong. This is shielding him. Don't do such things in the future, understand?"
Xiao Min listened and thought, "Can good people do bad things?"
Qian Shulan nodded, "Good people sometimes turn bad over time! Bad people can correct their mistakes and become good people after being educated."
Xiao Min nodded first, then tilted her head, thought for a long time before asking, "Will the little brother correct it?"
Qian Shulan said firmly, "Grandma will make him correct his mistakes. He just got carried away for a moment."
Hearing this, Xiao Min was so excited that she clapped her hands and looked at Qian Shulan with sparkling eyes, "Grandma must make sure that little brother corrects his mistakes. He is so pitiful!"
Qian Shulan touched her little head and said, "Okay, grandma knows, go play by yourself."
Qian Shulan opened the door to the east room and told Xiaomin to go play. She then called Sun Daqin, who was standing in the yard, over and said, "You misunderstood. You gave Xiaomin that egg. It's cooked!"
Sun Daqin opened her mouth in surprise, confused by her mother-in-law's words, "Why didn't she explain it to me? This child!"
Qian Shulan couldn't bear to tell her about the child stealing eggs, so she said hurriedly, "You are so fierce, the child is scared silly! How can she dare to explain to you!"
Sun Daqin frowned. Was she fierce? No! She wasn't angry at Xiao Min at all
She looked at her mother-in-law suspiciously. Would her mother-in-law make up a lie to lie to her just to save face for the child
Seeing her look, Qian Shulan rolled her eyes at her, "What are you thinking? Do you think I am you? Would I do such a thing as trying to cover up my mistake?"
Seeing her mother-in-law's cold face, Sun Daqin smiled at her in a flattering way, "Mom, I don't think so! Maybe we counted wrong."
Qian Shulan felt a little guilty, so she waved her hand and said, "It's normal to count so many eggs every day and miss one or two. Just be more careful next time."
Sun Daqin responded quickly.
Sun Daqin and Qian Shulan cooked dinner together.
Qian Shulan asked Li Chunhua to call Du Damei out for dinner and introduce her to everyone again.
In order to avoid being discovered, Du Damei changed her name to Du Lanqiu.
Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "Lan Qiu, you can just live in that room. You can come to my place for meals."
The room Du Lanqiu lived in was her previous room. Because people came back from the county town from time to time, that room was used as a guest room.
When Zhou Xuemei heard this, she hurriedly said, "Mom, that's not necessary. Let Sister Lan Qiu eat with us. It's okay. Don't bother you."
A widow would be gossiped about a lot if she walked from one end of the village to the other. If Sister Lan Qiu got involved with those ruffians, it would be disastrous.
Zhou Xuemei had already automatically figured out that the injury on Du Lanqiu's head was caused by someone teasing him, and he was so upset that he hit himself.
Wang Danzhi also said, "Yes, mother."
Qian Shulan was a little stunned when she heard Wang Danzhi talking. This second daughter rarely spoke. She had a very low sense of presence.
But now he actually spoke up for Du Lanqiu. Maybe he sympathized with her because they were in the same boat, right
Du Lanqiu took out a few dimes from his pocket and said a little embarrassedly, "This is all the money I have. When I recover from my illness, I will definitely earn work points to support myself."
No one had any objection.
As long as she can support herself, everyone is willing to take care of a widow.
After dinner, Qian Shulan took Xiao Min back to her home.
