Chapter 49: Thieves

Views:

Li Qinghe had already turned around and walked two steps away, but he stopped when he heard the words, "If no one asks, I won't say it. Similarly, I won't lie."

If Li Fu asked her and didn't tell her, it would be outrageous.

In the field, Li Fu and Zhou Chengkang were chatting. Working alone was quite different from being accompanied by someone. Even if the two of them were tired, if someone accompanied them to talk, the time would pass before they knew it, and the work would be done.

Li Qinghe took the teapot and poured water for them, Li Fu took it, "Did your aunt Qian make the tea?"

Li Qinghe hummed, Li Fu didn't care too much, he also knew that his daughter and Qian were not getting along, so he didn't force her to have a deep relationship between mother and daughter, and asked, "I've done a lot today, and I'm hungry so fast, I'm starting to cook at home." Have you eaten yet?"

"I didn't go into the kitchen." Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I don't know, maybe I can eat."

In the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest, the three of them packed up their things and went home for dinner.

In the courtyard of Li's family, food was already set up on the stone table under the big tree. Mrs. Qian brought out steamed buns from the kitchen, and when she saw them coming in, she said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat."

In fact, no matter how many times Zhou Chengkang came to Li's house, he was always a little reserved. Li Qinghe took him and sat down, and suddenly found that there was only a plate of green vegetables, some pickled vegetables, and a bowl of soup on the table. There was no trace of meat. Something was wrong. , Li Fu clearly said that he would eat meat at noon...

The expressions of the two of them remained the same, even their eyes were wrong, and they started to eat. When Li Fu came out of the hut and sat down, he frowned when he saw the food. Mrs. Qian was secretly looking at his face, and hurriedly said, "No, I will eat it in the morning. I heard that the meat in the town is not good, so I didn’t go, but I will definitely go tomorrow.”

Li Fu frowned, seeing Li Qinghe and the two, he quickly let go, "Don't forget tomorrow, buy some at least, what is that like?"

Nothing else to say, Li Fu went as usual in the afternoon, and the table was still full of vegetarian food at lunch the next day. Qian smiled reluctantly, "I went, and found that the silver was lost halfway."

Li Fu's face turned dark immediately, "Why didn't you lose yourself? You can't do anything well, let's go to the field together in the afternoon!"

It's a final decision, and it cannot be refuted.

In the afternoon, when Mrs. Qian came out again, she wore a cap on her head, covering her entire upper body. There were not many women in the village who were afraid of the sun, but such exaggerated ones were really rare.

Li Fu also saw it, frowned and said, "You really want to wear this thing, it's best to wear it in the fields. Otherwise, it's not just you, but also Wanwan, you said that if people in the town say that she The Niangzhuang family is afraid of the sun when they work, will someone make fun of them?"

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she hurriedly put away the apron, and took out the normal straw hat after entering the door.

Li Fu's land had been worked hard for several days before it was considered as finished.

After the food came in, the two of them paid back what they owed, and paid the tax on the food. The rest was put on the side of the new house. When autumn passed, the house there should be almost done, and then they could start moving. up.

This day Li Qinghe got up in the morning and was washing up when Li Fu came, holding a piece of meat in his hand, it seemed that he had sent it here on purpose, "I went to town in the morning and found it was very fresh, so I brought it back by the way."

This should be because I didn't eat meat at work a few days ago, so I bought it to make up for it, but Li Qinghe didn't pick it up, "Father, eat it yourself, I have eggs over there."

Li Fu couldn't help but enter the door, handed her the meat and turned around. After walking two steps, he walked back in front of her, looked around, and lowered his voice, "I heard that someone went to the house two days ago, did you meet him? "

Li Qinghe was a little complicated, she knew that she didn't say a word, and the neighbors around were not blind. It was normal that they didn't meet anyone on the side of the road so early like the first time. They all ran into the house, and someone must have seen it. And this relationship is complicated, and someone will definitely say it.

Seeing her silence, there was something Li Fu didn't understand, and his expression turned serious, "It's really Wanwan's father?"

Look, she hasn't said a word yet, Li Fulian already knows everyone.

"Yes, he still talked to me." Li Qinghe thought for a while, "Aunt Qian said he left just after he came, and told me not to tell you. I was busy with the autumn harvest at that time, so I didn't say anything."

If there was a quarrel, with Qian's temperament, she would definitely be able to do things like not cook or do laundry, and it would be Li Fu who would suffer in the end. Although he also enjoys it, he can wait for the two to slowly quarrel after the autumn harvest.

Li Qinghe held a piece of meat and watched Li Fu stride back, no use being aggressive, once Qian cried, he would definitely soften his heart.

"Hey, didn't you say that your father only loves the stepdaughter, this kiss is the kiss, didn't this bring you meat?" Zhang Haiyao's sharp voice sounded.

Very annoying!

She didn't even bother to talk to her, and went straight in with the meat, but Zhang Haiyao followed her to the door, "Sister and brother, sell me some of this meat, anyway, it's such a hot day, if you can't finish it, it will be ruined."

"Not for sale, not enough to eat." Li Qinghe answered quickly, "The extra will be given to my mother, do you want to grab it from her?"

If she dares to admit this, the meat will really be given to her!

Naturally, Zhang Haiyao didn't dare to take it. The pregnant family would indeed deliberately get some good food for her. It's normal for the elders to let it go, but they can't grab it openly. If a charge of unfilial piety is suppressed, someone will poke the spine.

Zhang Haiyao snorted softly, "Eat alone."

It was unreasonable. When she ate by herself, she didn't see her share it with anyone. Li Qinghe didn't take this matter to heart at all, and took the meat to the kitchen to steam buns.

At night, a woman's scream suddenly sounded in Zhou's courtyard, "Where's my money?"

Li Qinghe and the others were woken up. Seeing that the sky outside was not even bright, Mrs. Mei shouted outside, "Mother, mother, I lost my money, can you help me find it..."

It seemed that Boss Zhou was persuading me, so I heard Mrs. Mei say loudly, "What is it in the middle of the night, this is money that has been worked hard for half a month, and I can't find it. No one wants to sleep today!"

He called anxiously again, "Mother, my money is gone."

Mother Zhou put on her clothes and got up, then knocked on the door of the two of them again, "Get up."

When the two went out, everyone was in the main room, Mei's eyes were red, obviously she had cried a lot, and Mrs. Liu stood in the corner with her arms folded, with a gloomy expression on her face.

Zhou's mother knocked on the table, "In the middle of the night, everyone was tossed by you. What's going on? Tell me."

"I lost the money." As soon as Mei opened his mouth, tears fell, "I worked so hard to get up in the middle of the night every day, earning money from dawn to dusk, and it was gone all at once."

Zhou's mother became impatient, "Say it clearly! I'm not asking how you earn your money, everyone's money is hard earned."

"The money I put on the head of the bed, just now I got up to make tofu, touched it by the way, and found that it was all gone." Mei said while crying, "I turned the whole bed over several times, really nothing .It must have been a thief."

Mother Zhou frowned, "How much money?"

Mei wiped away her tears, "I counted it clearly, one tael of silver, and two hundred and thirty copper coins."

She spoke with certainty, Mother Zhou glanced around the people in the room, pondered for a while, and said, "Think about it carefully, have you changed the place, this room is all my own family, there are some things you can't talk nonsense about."

"My family?" Mei's voice was sharp, "It is said that house thieves are hard to guard against. There is no one who is separated from this family. It was originally done by my family."

Zhang Haiyao sneered, "I have never been to your room."

Mei's and the others left early and closed early at night, and sometimes they didn't see each other once in a few days, which was inconvenient. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe had never been to her house.

Boss Zhou tugged at her, "Keep your voice down."

Changing her meek temperament, Mei pulled back her sleeves and said unceremoniously, "I am not the one who is ashamed of being a thief, so why should I keep my voice down?"

She looked angrily, "Anyway, here's what I said. If you can't find the money tonight, no one can sleep. If you can't find it tomorrow, no one is allowed to go out, and everyone should stop working."

Zhou's mother looked ugly, "Are you sure you lost the money?"

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Mei asked back, and continued, "If I hadn't lost it, I would have been busy making tofu to earn money by now. I have been here for a year, and I am not the one who makes trouble out of no reason."

Mother Zhou looked at Fifth Sister, "Fifth Sister, did you see someone enter your sister-in-law's room?"

Fifth Sister shook her head, "I haven't seen it before."

"Then search." Mei said it was a matter of course.

"Beautiful thinking!" Zhang Haiyao said, "I don't have more than your little money in my house."

Li Qinghe didn't agree to search, "Since they all look the same, how can you recognize them?"

The atmosphere froze, and Mrs. Liu said, "Anyway, if I can't find the money, I will take my daughter-in-law home to live. There are many people here, and they also keep house thieves... tsk tsk..." The indescribable appearance at the end seems to be The Zhou family is like a miserable family.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Mother Zhou looked at her, "The purpose of your trouble is to move away, right?"

"I didn't think about moving. I've lived here for a year even if I'm not used to it, but there are thieves in this house, so I can't live there. No matter how much I earn, I won't get it in my pocket. I was thinking about waiting until I earn enough money." Just build a house and let the two of them stand alone..."

Granny Liu said seriously, "Sister, this house can't live anymore. After two years, when we have earned enough money, we will go back to the village to build a house, how about it?"

"No way!" Mother Zhou looked at Boss Zhou with a serious face, "Boss, do you want to move out too?"

Boss Zhou shook his head, "It's just that the money is lost, and Meihua feels uncomfortable."

"If you can't keep the money, don't accept it. I've kept the money in this house for so many years, and I haven't lost a single coin." Mother Zhou glanced at Mrs. Mei disdainfully, "Don't take the money from now on, give it to the boss. Go!"
