Chapter 296
The evil mother-in-law who rubs his wife
He didn't say it, but Si Qing became even more angry when he said it. His little hand slapped it hard on the table with a loud "slap".
The pain suddenly made her mouth twitch.
Momo put his hands behind his back and rubbed them, glaring at Si Zhengping angrily and cursed: "You are so embarrassed to say surprise? I think you clearly want to scare me!
The villagers had no food, and you didn't say a word. If Li hadn't fainted from hunger today, I wouldn't know that you were the village chief. What was your mind thinking? The villagers starved to death, could you have
What benefits won’t be done?”
Si Zhengping was confused by Si Qing's scolding.
He stared at Si Qing blankly and said innocently: "Auntie, there is no food left in the village."
"You still dare to lie? If the food is not cut off, will Li faint from hunger?"
Si Qing was so angry that she wanted to slap the table again, but when she thought of the pain in her back hand just after slapping, she could only point at Si Zhengping and scold her.
Si Zhengping was even more confused.
"My aunt, there is no shortage of food in the village. The harvest this year is pretty good. Although the taxes are a little heavy, it will definitely not be a problem to eat them with bran until the beginning of next spring."
Si Zhengping felt that it was so unfair. If the village really had no food, how could he not hide it? He looked so unreliable?
After hearing Si Zhengping's explanation, Si Qing's mood calmed down.
Maybe she misunderstood, maybe there was no food left in the village, but Chen Shitou's family had no food left?
"Since there is no food left in the village, how could Li be so hungry? Is Mrs. Chen's family out of food left?"
Si Zhengping frowned and thought for a while, and replied: "It shouldn't be possible. I've never heard her say that there was no food at home."
"Get up and go to the Chen family with me."
Si Qing called Si Zhengping up and took him to the Chen family again.
Old Woman Chen is drying quilts at home now. Today, she is in a rare sun. She takes out all the quilts and pats them in the yard, so that she can sleep warmer at night.
When Si Qing and Si Zhengping came to her house, they saw her slapping the quilt. The vine was swinging vigorously, and it looked like a hungry person.
Si Zhengping greeted Mrs. Chen and asked her if there were any difficulties in her family recently.
Old Mrs. Chen was inexplicably asked by him. Seeing that his aunt had also come, she hurriedly moved a chair and let the two of them sit down. Then she smiled and said, "What's the difficulty in my family?"
Then he looked at Si Qing and asked her happily: "Auntie, my daughter-in-law didn't cause you any trouble, right?"
Si Qing shook his head and suddenly asked, "Old Mrs. Chen, is there a shortage of food in your family?"
Old Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment when asked, and then smiled and said, "I'm worried about my aunt. The family is still fine at the moment. Although there is not much food, I can't be hungry."
"Then why don't you give Li a meal and starve her to death?" Si Qing asked her directly.
"Ah? Auntie, I don't!" Old Mrs. Chen was so unfair that she looked at Si Qing innocently and explained: "No matter how bad I am, I will not deduct my daughter-in-law's rations."
"Why did Li faint from hunger at his aunt's house today?" Si Zheng asked with a flat face.
Old Woman Chen was even more unfair: "How can I know? She didn't have much food last night and this morning. She advised her to come, and she said she was full."
"What you said is true?" Si Zhengping's expression relaxed a lot after hearing this. He still had some understanding of Old Woman Chen.
Although Mr. Chen is a stingy and very good-mouthed woman, she is not an old lady who rubs her daughter-in-law. Li has not caused any trouble for more than two years after she got married.
