Chapter 44 It's hard for me to mess with my sister-in-law

When Mrs. Xu ran out, it was already dark. Fortunately, the sky was not bad. Most of the moon hung in mid-air, illuminating the road under her feet clearly.

At the beginning, she walked in her mouth and scolded, complaining that the old man had hidden his private money and his sons were disappointing. Later, she was thirsty and tired, so she closed her mouth.

Finally, with a deep and shallow foot, I finally walked to the Batang Village where my mother's house was located. When I saw the familiar fish pond, my heart was sad and tears rolled down again. She sat on the stone by the fish pond and rested for a while. When she wiped away her tears, she came to the door of the house in the east of the village and raised her hand and knocked on the door.

There was a dog barking in the yard, and it took a long time to hear someone pull out their shoes and ask, "It's late. Who is it?" Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Big brother..." Hearing the voice of the eldest brother Qian Kaishan, Mrs. Xu's nose began to sore again.

"Third Sister?" When the courtyard door opened from the inside, Qian Kaishan came out with a surprised face and welcomed him in. "Why did you come back in the middle of the night?"

He said and looked around again. Seeing that there was really no one else, he turned back and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What can happen? I took a break this afternoon and dreamed that my mother was not in good health. After waking up, I always felt weak. Finally, I ran to have a look." Mrs. Xu was in the face and didn't want to say that she had quarreled with her family, so she told a lie casually.

It's just that this lie is really not very clever. Anyone who hears it knows that it is fake, not to mention that as soon as she enters the room, she can see her eyes red and swollen through the light of the oil lamp, obviously crying.

However, Qian Kaishan didn't ask much. First, it's too late today, and second, he also knows the girl's nature. It's useless to ask anything you don't want to say.

"My mother's body is still like that. Except for her legs and feet, everything else is fine. Then my brain is good!" Qian Kaishan put down the oil lamp, pulled the clothes on his shoulders and asked, "Are you hungry after walking so far? I'll ask your sister-in-law to give you hot food.

"No, I'm not hungry." In fact, Mrs. Xu has been hungry for a long time, but she knows what her sister-in-law is like. She doesn't look good at ordinary times, let alone to toss her up in the middle of the night, so she shook her head and said, "Don't toss around in the middle of the night. Just go to my mother's room to rest."

Qian Kaishan's face suddenly became a little strange. He pressed Mrs. Xu back on the stool and said, "It's better to eat less, otherwise your stomach will be hungry in the middle of the night. There is still porridge and food left at home. I'll heat it up for you."

Mrs Xu felt more and more hungry as soon as he said it, so she stopped declining. She put down the burden and said, "I'd better go to heat it myself. Brother, go and get me the bed cover."

"Good!" Qian Kaishan answered quickly, then ran back to his house, pulled up his daughter-in-law Sun and said, "Child, wake up, the third sister comes back to see her. Go to your mother's room to clean up quickly."

Sun turned over in a daze and said unhappily, "What are you cleaning up in the middle of the night? I can't help it."

"Oh, my aunt, my mother's room is messy and damp, which makes the third sister see it so that the whole family can't sleep." Qian Kaishan begged in a low voice.

Sun turned over, grabbed Qian Kaishan's ear and scolded, "You won't let her go to the west wing first to get together. Do you have to toss me in the middle of the night?"

Qian Kaishan had no way. He went out and said to Mrs. Xu, "My mother has fallen asleep a long time ago. You have to wake her up when you go there. You can deal with her in the west wing tonight. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

When Mrs. Xu thought about it, she naturally didn't agree. She ran out as soon as she took two mouthfuls of rice because of Xu's second thing today. She was full of anger before she had dinner. Now she ate hot porridge, pickles, and gnawed the buns. Soon two large bowls of porridge and two buns were down, and then she was all over her body. He wiped his mouth comfortably and had a hiccup.

Qian Kaishan was afraid that she would find out about the situation in the old lady's room, so he kept guarding him. Seeing that she finished eating, he directly took her to the west wing and said, "The bedding has been brought to you. You can clean it up by yourself and rest early. Don't worry about getting up tomorrow morning. Sleep more."

Old Mrs. Xu didn't know what her eldest brother thought. She only said that he loved her and felt more and more moved. She was still the closest to her mother's family. "Big brother, go back and rest quickly. I'll stir you up in the middle of the night."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Qian Kaishan rubbed his hands and walked out, led the door to her and said, "Then you can rest."

After Qian Kaishan returned to his room, he crept up the bed. Before he lay down, he was pinched by Sun's waist and only heard her ask, "What's your third sister doing here?"

"Isn't it just to see my mother... hiss..." Qian Kaishan didn't finish his words, but he was pinched again and breathed coldly and said, "I don't know. I didn't ask her."

"Cut, in the middle of the night, I went back to my mother's house empty-handed. I either quarreled and got angry or was chased out." Sun rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to clean up the house for your mother, you can get up early and clean it up by yourself. Don't bother me to sleep." After saying that, he turned over to the wall and continued to sleep, throwing a cold back to Qian Kaishan.

Early the next morning, only when it was bright, Qian Kaishan gently got up, touched the east wing where the old lady lived, opened the window for ventilation, and put all the messy debris in the room together. Then he wiped the table and swept the floor. He confused Mrs. Qian half propped up and asked: " boss, what are you doing? If you don't sleep in the morning, why are you here?

"Mom, I'm just cleaning up for you." Qian Kaishan said, "The third sister is coming back to see you!"

"Oh, no wonder." Mrs. Qian leaned back on the quilt again. "It's rare that she still remembers me. How long has it been since Daya and Erya have been here?"

"They are also busy at home." Qian Kaishan said and rolled up the dirty bedding on the bed, stuffed it into the bed cabinet, and took out a clean luggage and laid it for the old lady.

"I'm old. If I want to sleep in a clean quilt, I have to get the light of my daughter." Mrs. Qian muttered herself.

Qian Kaishan was so busy that he was sweating and finally cleaned up the room with a little imaginable appearance. Then he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Mom, lie down for a while and come to see you when the third sister wakes up."

Mrs. Qian looked up and asked, "Why, your third sister came back in the middle of the night yesterday?"

"Well..." Qian Kaishan was stunned for a moment and nodded and said, "It's just that it's a little late. I'm afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I let her live in the west wing."

Old Mrs. Qian didn't say anything more, and her eyelids squinted.

At this time, the outside was already bright, and the eldest grandson Zhuzi has got up. As the saying goes, Zhuzi is 14 years old this year. He eats more than anyone else every night, and he is hungry before dawn in the morning. The first thing he does every day is to go to the stove to find food.

After Sun knew this, she made more dinner every day and put some leftover food in the cupboard, so that the child could get up in the morning.

But the pillar turned over the cupboard today and only found a plate of pickles and a bowl of sauce. He couldn't help shouting, "Milk, didn't you have porridge and buns left last night? Why are they gone?"

Sun has got up at this time, but he hasn't come out of combing his hair in the room. Hearing the pillar's words, he pulled his hair and came out to have a look. At a glance, he saw two unwashed dishes on the stove. He pretended to eat last night, and his face immediately looked hard.

She quickly rolled up her hair, inserted a silver copper hairpin, pulled out her sleeves, opened the lid of the pot and scooped out the water warmed with the residual fire last night. While washing the dishes, she scolded: "The starving ghost has been reincarnated. In the middle of the night, she is not afraid to eat a lot of stuff. She ate it. She didn't even brush out the bowls and chopsticks. Whose house is this? Grandma made pie. Did you come to my house to set up the money?

The pillar didn't figure out what was going on and said aggrievedly, "Milk, I didn't get up to eat last night."

"Good boy, it's not about you!" Sun comforted his grandson, "I'll make milk for you."

Mr. Xu woke up when Sun scolded. She also remembered that she was pulled into the house by the eldest brother as soon as she finished eating last night. She thought that the eldest brother would go to brush the bowls and chopsticks, so she didn't care. At this time, she was scolded by her sister-in-law. Although she was somewhat uncomfortable, she also felt that she did not do it well.

"Sister-in-law, as soon as I talked to my brother last night, I forgot about washing the dishes. I'm really sorry. Let me do it." Mrs. Xu went to the stove to take over the work in Sun's hand.

"I didn't pretend until I finished brushing." Sun raised his hand, put the washed dishes and chopsticks next to him, picked up the wooden basin and walked to the door, splashing at the yard, scaring the two chickens that were eaten by insects at the door.

"Then let me cook for you." Mrs. Xu rolled up her sleeves to help set fire, but was suddenly squeezed away by Sun.

"Auntie is Qi'er when she comes back to the door. How can you do it? How can I be a human being when it spreads?" Sun pushed Mrs. Xu out. "Auntie, you'd better go to see the old lady. Be careful not to let the oil smoke in the stove chop you."

Old Mrs. Xu was pushed out helplessly, sighed, and turned to the east wing to see me.

When I entered the door, I smelled a gloomy and moldy smell, shouted, and then asked strangely, "What's the smell in this room?" It smells more damp than the west wing!"

Mrs. Qian didn't answer. She waved to her, called her side and asked, "Why did you quarrel with your man? Did you run back by yourself?"

Old Mrs. Xu immediately lowered her head and muttered, "Mom, how do you know?"

"I gave birth to you. I don't know what you look like. What are you doing this time?" Mrs. Qian asked as if she knew everything.
