Chapter 46 Chapter 46
Li Yufen has been almost numb by Old Mrs. Zhang these days. Even if Old Mrs. Zhang said that she was here to deliver things to her, she couldn't feel any touched.
However, looking at the pockets placed in front of her by Mrs. Zhang, Li Yufen, who had already guessed what her mother gave her, could not help but change her face.
Li Yufen still held a hint of luck and asked unwillingly: "Mom, my stepmother-in-law's sweet potatoes in the private fields were stolen by someone. You really did it, right?"
Seeing her incredible appearance, Old Mrs. Zhang couldn't help rolling her eyes and said indifferently: "Didn't you ask me knowingly? What I, Zhang Xiaocui, planned to do, have nothing that can't be done yet. Even if you don't want to help my mother, I have some way to get this done!"
"Look, look, my mother, how nice I am to you. I used to ask your family for some food to help you, you all pushed you to cut your flesh, but you are unfilial. I am still a caring child, my wife, I just got something, and I brought it to you."
As Old Mrs. Zhang said, she squatted down to untied the bag on the ground. When she untied the rope tied to her pocket, she exposed the small half of the bag of sweet potatoes inside. Li Yufen's luck suddenly dissipated.
After learning that her sweet potato field at her mother-in-law's house was stolen, Li Yufen's first suspicion was that her parents and brothers did it. The facts were indeed as she expected.
She cried to the small half bag of sweet potatoes, and couldn't help complaining: "Mom, you are really good. If you steal something, don't hide it, why do you have to send it to my house?! Our family doesn't lack food, so you don't need to send it to you. You should take the half bag of sweet potatoes home and keep it for yourself!"
Seeing that Li Yufen was not as happy and excited as she expected, she seemed to have regarded the sweet potatoes she sent as a disaster to avoid, Old Mrs. Zhang's face immediately drooped.
"What are you doing to deliver? You think I'm happy. It's not because your man Lin Minghai. When Lin Minghai's stingy coward comes back, I will hit him in the face so that he can know that you, I'm not the kind of vampire mother-in-law who only enters and doesn't leave, and only sucks the blood of my daughter!"
Old Mrs. Zhang had a very deep resentment towards this son-in-law. Thinking that the last time the food was robbed, she was hit by this incident and fell ill. But it would be fine if the son-in-law didn't say anything about giving her some food comfort. Seeing her coming to the door again, she dared to block her outside the door directly. No matter how she shouted, she couldn't open the door, and she felt angry.
"If my family hadn't been able to live a life, would I always be so shameless and shameless about your family's borrowing food and being criticized? Who doesn't want a face? But the men of you sisters are all guarding against old women and I'm like guarding against thieves. Isn't this a piercing mother's heart? I'll ask them to see this time. I, Zhang Xiaocui, can also deliver things to my daughter, tell him not to be humble!"
She glared at Li Yufen, then took out the sweet potatoes, and cursed: "How come you look like you think I was stolen, and you still dislike me? You are so heartless, who are you sending things here for? You are thinking that you are becoming less and less capable at home. My mother gives you something to help your son-in-law change you so that he knows that you don't only know how to subsidize your parents' home. But it's fine, it's fine if you are not grateful, but you also dislike your own mother as a thief!"
"Mom, I don't dislike you, but the key is that you stole something from my stepmother-in-law's house. If Minghai knew how this thing came about, he would have to divorce me. How dare I keep it?"
Old Mrs. Zhang spat and looked down on her daughter's virtue of being terrified but not brave.
"If you don't say it, my mother doesn't say it, who knows that the sweet potato was stolen? You just say that it was planted in my own field? Besides, you really dislike your mother for being a steal, it's useless. To be serious, I will attack you for taking the initiative to keep your mother-in-law's private land, but you encouraged it at the beginning, and pretending to be innocent now."
Li Yufen was squeezed by her mother and her face suddenly became a little uneasy, but she felt that she was very unfair.
Her mother used to come to borrow food, which made her family go crazy, and the relationship between husband and wife also took a sharp turn. She couldn't stand it, so she had the idea of moving the disaster eastward.
But what she proposed to her mother was to ask her to borrow food from her stepmother-in-law. Even if she couldn't lend it, she wanted her mother to disgust her stepmother-in-law. But her mother was fine, and she didn't plan to fight her stepmother-in-law head-on and feel uncomfortable, but she directly made the idea of stealing.
It was clearly her mother who decided to steal things, but now she said that she encouraged her to steal things. Li Yufen felt that she was almost unjustly dead.
Old Mrs. Zhang looked at Li Yufen with disgust. Could it be that her daughter really thinks that the old woman can't see that she wants to use her biological mother as a gun to deal with her stepmother-in-law for her?
But Zhang Xiaocui is not stupid. Her daughter is still the old woman's daughter-in-law. She can't even borrow food. She doesn't think she has such a big face and is too lazy to do things that are not good.
However, although Old Mrs. Zhang was not interested in borrowing grain from the old in-laws, it did not mean that she was not interested in the grain from the other party’s family.
Now she can't get much food from Lin Minghai, her son-in-law, and her family is almost broken. She can't let the family starve to death, so the desperate old lady Zhang decided to take the risk.
Since she can't borrow food, she can always steal it, right?
Not to mention the place where her old in-law lives, there are only orphans and widows at home, so it must be easy to steal!
It is too difficult to steal food from the other party at home, but it is much more convenient to steal food from outside.
Old Mrs. Zhang thought of passing by the private area behind her old in-law's house and watching the sweet potatoes growing well in the field, she was even more moved.
The sweet potatoes were stolen and stored as food. As for those little melons and cucumbers, they were all left for her son Baozhu to eat. Her son had eaten dried wild vegetable dumplings for a few days recently, and she had a pale and thin skin. These good things just happened to give her son some nutrition.
So, when Old Mrs. Zhang got home, she told her plans to the old man and her son. The father and son were so moved that they made a decision to do it!
Because there are people patrolling at night in Shanglin Village, at the beginning, Old Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask her daughter to help stare at the patrol team, to work inside and outside, so as to find a suitable opportunity to take action.
But who knew that Li Yufen was timid and was unwilling to help keep an eye on him, so she almost angered Mrs. Zhang to death.
Fortunately, her son Li Baozhu was lucky this time. When he was scouting nearby, he met someone who was willing to provide them with help. Otherwise, her plan to steal sweet potatoes would have to have a miscarriage.
When Li Yufen learned that without her help, her mother could stole the sweet potatoes from her mother-in-law's field without knowing it. Although she was a little happy, she was more worried.
After she refused to keep an eye on the patrol team for her mother, who did her mother help? What was the idea that the man made for her mother? I wonder if it would affect her?
"Mom, tell me, who is the one who informs you of our village?"
"Why are you asking about this? I won't tell you. Everyone says that the water from a married daughter is splashed out by the water. Who knows if you will shake the other person out to coax your man?"
Li Yufen was speechless by Old Mrs. Zhang. Since her mother didn't want to say it, wouldn't she have to ask?
Li Yufen felt a headache when she looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground. Although she couldn't bear to bear it, she was even more afraid that someone would show her mother's work, so she dared not blatantly accept the sweet potatoes she sent to.
Just as she was about to persuade her mother to take the things home, she saw her daughter Da Ya bringing her son Da Bao back.
When Lin Daya saw her grandmother, she thought she was coming to her house to borrow food again. Lin Daya, who already knew that she had protected her food, looked not very good-looking.
When Mrs. Zhang saw her grandchildren, she thought of coming to her daughter's house to borrow food several times. Because she had nothing in her pocket and she had no confidence when she saw the child, she greeted them very happily.
He also picked up two sweet potatoes from his pocket and wiped them, then handed them to Lin Daya and Lin Dabao, and said proudly: "Give it, take it for food. This is grown in my grandmother's field. It is sweet and crispy, and it is better than apples. Grandma has got good things this time and thinks to deliver them to you. In the future, Daya and Dabao will not be as heartless as your mother."
Li Yufen was attacked by her mother again, and she couldn't help but look embarrassed. She didn't follow her mother to help her, and she didn't know when she would be hated by her mother.
Lin Daya looked at the big sweet potatoes that her grandmother gave her. She was not very interested in this thing. She was not without it in the fields, and she felt a little nauseous when she ate it.
However, she finally saw something from her grandmother. Even if she was not interested, she couldn't bear to refuse. She hurriedly took it, for fear that her grandmother would regret it again the next second and refused to give it to her.
Lin Daya pulled her younger brother Dabao to wash the sweet potatoes that were still stained with the soil. Because they were too big, they cut them with a knife. The two of them started to eat half of them.
Not to mention, just after taking a bite, Lin Daya's expression that she didn't care much about changed.
"Is it very sweet? How about it? Grandma didn't fool you? This time my grandma gave me some good things! These sweet potatoes are crisp and sweet. I used this before to make some sweet potato cakes. It's much more delicious than the sweet potato cakes made from home-grown sweet potatoes. I don't know your step-grandma...Ouch!"
When Li Yufen saw her mother excited, she almost let out a word, and hurriedly grabbed Old Mrs. Zhang's arm to stop her from continuing.
Fortunately, Da Ya and Da Bao are both children. After having delicious food, they didn’t listen to Old Mrs. Zhang carefully and didn’t notice these things at all.
After Lin Daya finished eating, she led her brother out to play again, Li Yufen breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after such interruption, she no longer insisted that Old Lady Zhang take the things back, but remembered the situation she saw when she went to her stepmother-in-law's private area.
Li Yufen couldn't help but look moved and said to her mother Zhang Xiaocui: "Mom, you're so angry that old lady this time. You've deliberately slashed the remaining sweet potatoes. Did you deliberately dig it to relieve me? You don't know how that old lady treats me on weekdays. Last time she lost her granddaughter, I went to comfort her. She beat me out without knowing the kindness of the good people. I'm so angry."
Li Yufen was complaining to Mrs. Zhang about the grievances she suffered from last time at her step-grandmother-in-law, but she saw Mrs. Zhang grab her arm and almost jumped up from the stool.
Old Mrs. Zhang said in shock: "What did you say? When did I deliberately scatter the sweet potatoes? I was too busy stealing at that time. Who had the time to have the time to do it? What did you mean just now was that the sweet potatoes in your stepmother-in-law's field were deliberately scattered?"
Seeing her mother's shocked, Li Yufen nodded, "Yes, it's been shattered a lot. What, what, can it be, is it that you didn't do it?"
Looking at her mother's reaction, Li Yufen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Since it wasn't her mother's job, who would it be? Could it be that after her mother left, other people also went to the private area and deliberately scattered the sweet potatoes?
Did the person who went there later saw her mother stealing sweet potatoes? Will she put all the blame on her mother to cover up her actions and then report her mother?
