Chapter 13
Just as it felt bitter, a sweet taste with a slightly fishy smell entered my mouth. It was slippery. It was definitely a bird's nest with white sugar added.
But, why does it still smell like milk?
Zhao Jin'er told him about accidentally buying an old sheep with a baby.
After listening, Qin Muxiu said: "..."
Is this okay?
Qin Zhenzhu was so angry that she didn't come back that night.
Liu Meiyu said that she went to the house of Widow Zhang at the head of the village.
Widow Zhang died young and had only one son and one daughter. Her son Zhang Youshuan was working in the town. Qin Zhenzhu and her daughter Zhang Fangfang were handkerchiefs and had frequent contacts.
Since there was no man in the house, there was no gossip, so Qin Daping did not allow Wang Fengying to call Qin Pearl back.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhenzhu stayed at Widow Zhang's house for three days. Her family didn't look for her, and she had no intention of coming back.
Qin Daping was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"The wings are hard! She dared to run outside. If she doesn't come back, she will be knocked down! Let's see if they can feed her for a few days!"
How can a mother feel at ease when her daughter is outside? Wang Fengying burst into tears, "I think you want to drive me away too!"
This time, Mrs. Qin took the side of her daughter-in-law, "Zhenzhu belongs to the girl's family after all. If she stays here like this all the time, the villagers will be jealous! Fengying, take some of the pastries and sugar bought by Jin Yatou to Widow Zhang's house.
, bring the pearl back quickly."
Wang Fengying took a trip, but she came back again and again without missing a piece of pastry in her hand.
Mrs. Qin asked, "Where are the pearls?"
Qin Daping also secretly stretched his neck to listen.
Wang Fengying sat down on the ground and started howling, "Damn it, Widow Zhang, the door is locked, and the whole family doesn't know where they are! I asked her neighbors, and they said they locked it the day before yesterday, and they haven't locked it for three days.
Go back to the village! Qin Daping, please return my pearls, I am just a daughter, if you lose them for me, I will die in front of you!"
Qin Daping was dumbfounded, "Why, how come the shadow is gone?"
Old Mrs. Qin also came up to pinch Qin Daping, "You almost got it, but no one is allowed to pick her up. Now that my daughter is lost, I don't see how you can live up to the ancestors of the old Qin family!"
The whole family was drawn out by Wang Fengying's howling.
Zhao Jin'er had just finished feeding Qin Muxiu the medicine and bird's nest, and hurried out.
When Wang Fengying saw Zhao Jin'er, she was furious.
"After all, it's not up to you, but my sister-in-law ran away just a few days after I entered the house!"
Zhao Jiner:......
In the past few days, she had been trying to pick up Pearl, but her uncle refused her every time.
Mrs. Qin glanced at Wang Fengying and said, "If your daughter is lost, hurry up and find her. Is it useful for you to get mad at Jin'er here?"
Liu Meiyu rarely opened her mouth, "Aunt Zhang's son is working in town. Have they gone to town?"
Mrs. Qin nodded repeatedly, "Meiyu is right. The old Wang family's ancestral home cannot be escaped there. How could they abduct your daughter? I'll make you nervous!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Fengying howled even more fiercely.
"Can I go to town soon? I didn't hear that a pornographic gang has come to the county in the past few days, and they specialize in picking out young and beautiful girls and wives. There are many young ladies in nearby villages who have been photographed."
Mrs. Qin was shocked, "Is this happening?"
"What Uncle Ma, the driver at the end of the village, said can be true?"
The whole family couldn't sit still, "Then let's go to town and look for him separately!"
While they were discussing, unexpectedly Qin Pearl came back on her own.
Wearing new clothes, a new beaded flower on her head, and some rouge on her lips, she walked into the house with a proud look on her face.
"Father, mother, milk, why are you all gathering in the courtyard?"
Wang Fengying hugged her like something falling from the sky, "Pearl, where has Widow Zhang taken you these past few days! You scared me to death!"
"Aunt Zhang took Fangfang and I back to her parents' house to play for two days."
"Hey, where did you get these new clothes?"
Qin Pearl was as proud as a peacock, "Aunt Zhang's mother likes me and made me clothes."
Qin Daping did not dare to say anything more and silently retreated into the room. At least his daughter was back. If he scolded her away, if Wang Fengying did not settle the score with him, my mother would kill him.
Wang Fengying was busy making noodles for her daughter, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"I haven't eaten yet. I'm very hungry." Qin Zhenzhu said coquettishly.
"Wait, mother, I'll lay you on the bed." Wang Fengying had three balls laid on her in one go, and she didn't even say she felt distressed.
Qin Zhenzhu was eating the eggs proudly while gouging out Zhao Jin'er.
Zhao Jiner:......
You can also get gouged while lying down.
When he went back to his room and told Qin Muchiu the good news about Qin Pearl's return, Qin Muchiu's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Muxiu smiled slightly and said intentionally or unintentionally, "Clothes are not cheap."
Zhao Jin'er also felt it was strange. Countryside people always bought the cheapest coarse linen for their clothes, but the material on Qin Pearl's body was of the highest quality, and there was nothing that could not be made with two handfuls of money.
Aunt Zhang is an old woman, no matter how much she likes other girls, she won't be willing to spend so much money, right?
Moreover, no matter how skillful a girl is, it would take ten or eight days at the fastest to make such a complete set of clothes. Qin Zhenzhen had only been out for three days, so the clothes had obviously been made long ago.
"Could Pearl have lied?"
Zhao Jin'er didn't dare to be too absolute. After all, it's not easy for a sister-in-law to chew on her sister-in-law's tongue.
Qin Muxiu nodded seriously, "I think it looks like it."
Zhao Jin'er felt warm in her heart with her husband on her side.
"Girls are short-handed and need to be disciplined." Qin Muxiu added.
"But the uncle and aunt don't dare to care about her now, for fear that she will run away again."
"You have time to take a second look. If there's anything strange, just tell me."
After receiving instructions from Qin Muxiu, Zhao Jin'er observed Qin Zhenzhu from time to time.
For several days in a row, I saw little items on Qin Pearl's body from time to time, a new silk handkerchief, a faint silver circle tucked into her sleeves...
The rest of the family was busy going to the ground and no one noticed, but Zhao Jin'er saw them all.
Sometimes Qin Zhuzhu would stare at her when she saw her looking at her, "Is there anything written on my face? Why do you always look at me?"
Zhao Jiner smiled innocently, "You look good."
Qin Zhenzhu was speechless. It was hard for people to praise her but scold her back.
I'm afraid this is not just a broom star, but also has some brain problems, my poor third brother!
After a few days of observation, Zhao Jiner really found a loophole.
After dinner that day, Qin Zhenzhu said that she would go to Widow Zhang's house to embroider a handkerchief with Zhang Fangfang.
Wang Fengying had a very good impression of Widow Zhang since Qin Pearl got the new clothes, "Go, hold the lamp and let your elder brother pick you up."
"No, no, I'll come back by myself." Qin Zhenzhu wiped her mouth and ran away.
Zhao Jin'er quickly brought the meal back to the house, "Zhenzhu went to Aunt Zhang's house again, saying she was going to embroider handkerchiefs, but she didn't even bring her needlework basket."
"You go and have a look too." Qin Muxiu said calmly.
He is calm because what happened to Qin Zhenzhu in the previous life did not happen today...
