Before Shandan's rice cakes were even out of the pot, she heard shouts from the village. Shandan quickly added a handful of firewood to the bottom of the pot, touched her skirt and went out.
As soon as she left the gate, she saw some people from the village running towards the back of her house. She quickly stepped forward to stop one of them and asked, "Auntie, what happened? Are you here to have fun?"
During the Chinese New Year in the past two years, there has been a running show in the village, that is, running land boats, running lions, etc. Everyone looks at it sparingly. When it comes, the whole village will go out to see it, but it is only the 24th of the twelfth lunar month now.
, it stands to reason that they all come after the new year!
"Why are you running around? It's Sun Mingfa who has recruited thieves. He split his desk and box and took away seven or eight taels of silver!" said the woman, and then said: "Go and see.
Look, everyone in the Sun Ming family is going crazy!"
When the Shandan family heard this, they no longer cared about the rice cakes in the pot. They quickly shouted at home and followed the woman to look behind the house.
Sun Mingfa's house is not far from Shandan's house, only two houses away. At this moment, Sun's house is sitting in the yard shouting, cursing the evil thief, while Sun Mingfa is checking something in the house, his face
The "color" is terrifyingly cold.
"Brothers and sisters, it's so cold on the ground in this winter. It's not worth it to ruin your body if you don't have money to earn anymore!" The Shandan family hurried forward, and together with the mother-in-law who came with them, they took the Sun family home.
He was pulled up.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of fate do you think I have? I can't bear to eat or drink. I'm saving that money to buy seeds and fertilizer in the spring, and part of it is to marry Yusheng. You said it's the one who doesn't grow up.
Damn it, why are you so bad? How am I going to spend this year now?" The Sun family member grabbed the Shandan family member and started howling.
Shan Danniang felt very uncomfortable in her heart. The Sun family was usually quiet and mild-tempered, but now it was so fierce. She really couldn't stand the excitement. How many years would it take to save seven or eight taels of silver![
"Why don't we report it to the official!" Some villagers shouted loudly.
"Why don't you go to the Zhao family in Shangjiacun to find Yuanwai Zhao? Now he has the final say in the affairs of eight villages in ten miles. There was a gambling gathering in Laohutun a while ago. Isn't it Yuanwai Zhao who sent someone to take care of the nest? If you ask me, I have to go.
Looking for Mr. Zhao, the thief might be stealing from this family. Now that the Chinese New Year is here, every family has bought new year's goods and collected their accounts. It is the time when thieves are rampant, so let Mr. Zhao send people to patrol day and night.
, We all work for member Zhao, right? You should take care of us!" someone said again.
"Yes, it is better for the county magistrate to take charge now and let the Zhao family come forward. How dare this little thief come to our village?" Someone else echoed.
While everyone was discussing, they suddenly saw Sun Mingfa come out of the room with a gloomy face and whispered: "It's okay, let's all disperse!"
The Sun family members were stunned, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Mingfa's clothes and said: "What do you mean it's okay? Our family's money is gone. Just now the villagers said they wanted to go to the Zhao family to make the decision. His father, go quickly."
Well, the officer and his wife won’t look at us and ignore us like this!”
Sun Mingfa frowned and whispered: "Our family has been robbed by a thief, what happened to the Zhao family? Don't think about it!"
The Sun family member hurriedly said: "I don't have any other intention. I just asked the officials to send people to search for it. Maybe they can find it! Besides, almost all the people in these ten miles and eight villages work for the Zhao family. The Zhao family should also protect us.
Isn’t it safe?”
Sun Mingfa whispered again: "You said it nicely, but I don't know what you are thinking? I said, forget it, just pretend that nothing happened, don't cry and howl here, hurry in!"
Sun Mingfa pulled the Sun family member and let her in. How could the Sun family member be willing? Yes, she had some thoughts. No matter what, she and Sun Mingfa were both famous people of the Zhao family before. This time they attracted a thief.
, even if they couldn’t get the money back, Zhao Xiaomai and Jin Yu would not ignore them as they had no money to spend during the New Year. They would subsidize some time and time again, and maybe they could take the opportunity to beg to go back to work! But Sun Mingfa was determined.
After such a big thing happened, you still thought that you could get the money back quietly and silently? Don’t let this day pass by!
"If I don't go in, our family will attract thieves. If I don't yell, will I be bullied in silence? If I catch this thief son of Tiansha, I will skin him alive!" Sun
One of the family members pushed Sun Ming away, but he couldn't get in, so he scolded him again.
Sun Mingfa just entered the room and took a look around, and soon discovered something was wrong. There was no trace of the room being disturbed. The thief went directly to the desk box, and the door was unlocked. Sun Yusheng, his clothes, and books were all gone.
If he disappeared, then there was only one possibility. The person who stole the money was Sun Yusheng. Thinking about what the Sun family said to him last night, he believed that Sun Yusheng must have overheard it. Seeing that he refused to pay him
Go to school and steal the money!
After Sun Mingfa knew that Sun Yusheng had done this, he didn't dare to speak out. He thought about dragging the Sun family in, but the Sun family wouldn't listen and started crying again. He was so anxious that he couldn't do it.
"Brother Sun, what's going on?" At this moment, Shandan's father also squeezed in. When he saw the scene in front of him and heard people talking about it, Shandan's father said suspiciously: "I was there just now.
I was collecting firewood outside the door, but I didn’t see anyone suspicious. I also saw your Yusheng leaving with a baggage on his back, just a while ago!"
The Sun family was stunned for a moment. They no longer cared about howling. They seemed to have just remembered that Sun Yusheng was not at home. In fact, since the last time he came back from the city, Sun Yusheng had never left the house since he returned home. He was afraid of being embarrassed and afraid of being criticized.
Thinking about him being naked in the town, why did he suddenly go out today? He was still carrying his luggage...where did he go?
"Yusheng left with his luggage? Big brother of the Sun family, did Yusheng take the money?" A human spirit named Hou'er in the village suddenly remembered something and said loudly.[
Sun Mingfa's expression turned ugly for a moment, but he couldn't say anything. He just said: "It's the Chinese New Year and everyone is busy, so just go back. My family will take care of this matter by themselves."
!”
After Sun Minfa said this, everyone seemed to understand something. If Sun Yusheng really stole the money, it would be really embarrassing. His son stole the money and ran away, and my mother is still here scolding...
"Damn monkey, my Yusheng can steal money? If you keep talking nonsense, I will ask your mother to teach you a lesson!" The Sun family has always regarded Sun Yusheng as a baby. Sun Yusheng is still a child. If he is labeled as a thief,
The reputation of money will also have an impact on the future, so even if the Sun family is willing, they point at the monkey and scold him.
The monkey frowned, not wanting to yell at an old woman, so he turned around and left.
"What are you saying? Have you gone crazy when you get something? Go home quickly!" Sun Mingfa quickly grabbed the Sun family's hand and asked her to go home.
"Dad, Yusheng can't get this money. Yusheng can't do this!" The Sun family member still held on to Sun Mingfa.
Sun Mingfa had a gloomy face, pulled the Sun family members into the house, and closed the door.
When the villagers looked at it, they felt like they were in the mirror. They looked at each other and laughed twice. Now that they knew it was not a thief in the village, everyone was relieved. They talked about Sun Yusheng in a low voice and said:
Dispersed.
Shan Danniang couldn't help but stepped forward and gave Shan Dan's father a tug, "Look at you, you just say whatever you know. You are just honest. Are you offending the Sun family now? The Sun family belongs to us.
Where’s Jia Shandan’s matchmaker!”
Father Shandan didn't react for a while and said: "I just said I didn't see the stranger come in. I was telling the truth. What happened?"
"You are telling the truth, but you told the truth at the wrong time. You see, now everyone in the village understands that it was Sun Yusheng who stole the family's money and ran away. Originally, Sun Mingfa already knew about it at that time and wanted to pull him away.
I took the Sun family into the house and covered it up, but you said it all at once!"
"I didn't say it, it was the monkey who yelled!" Father Shandan felt even more aggrieved.
Shan Danniang shook her head. She was a very honest man, and she didn't understand it until now, so she sighed and dragged him back home.
At this moment, in the Sun family, Sun Mingfa was squatting on the ground, smoking a dry cigarette, puff after puff, which made the room ablaze. The Sun family member looked at the table box with distress. It was her dowry, but now it was in two halves.
.
"From now on, just think of this son as dead, and don't even think about it!" Sun Min shouted suddenly.
When the Sun family members knew that Sun Yusheng had taken away the money, they didn't feel as distressed as before. They just muttered to themselves, "It's because you didn't want him to go to Chuhan City to study. Why don't you force him to do so?"
!”
"What are you talking about?" Sun Mingfa pulled out the bench from under his buttocks, pretending to hit the Sun family's.
"You can just smash me to death. Anyway, you won't like anyone in this family!" The Sun family member twisted his neck and shouted.
Sun Mingfa took another deep drag on his cigarette and walked out the door with the cigarette pole on his back.
"Where are you going?" The Sun family hurriedly chased after him.
"Go to the fields, there are still big families in the city who want food, hurry up and deliver it to them, don't delay their New Year celebrations!" Sun Mingfa said in a muffled voice, but his waist was stooped.
The Sun family member looked from behind, his eyes suddenly moistened, "What kind of evil is this? You can only live a good life, it must be like this!"
The next day, Shandan's father and mother went to the house with gifts.
As soon as Jin Yu heard Li Zi's report, he and Mrs. Huangfu hurried out to greet him.
"Oh, big sister, big brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you feeling well?" Mrs. Huangfu stepped forward and took Shan Danniang's hand and asked with a smile.
Shan Danniang said quickly: "Sister, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but this is it..."
"Okay, if you have anything to say, go inside and say it. It's so cold outside!" Mrs. Huangfu quickly held Shan Danniang's hand and entered the house.
Here, Shandan's father also handed the gifts he brought to Jinyu, and said with a sheepish smile: "I'll give you my homemade rice cakes to try!"
Jin Yu quickly took it and said: "We are very happy that uncle and aunt can come. What else can we get?"
Shandan's father "touched" his head in embarrassment, smiled innocently, and followed Jin Yu into the house.
In the hall of the main house, Mrs. Huangfu was talking to Shan Danniang.
"Sandan hasn't gone back yet. Why did he have to be twenty-five-year-old to clean up the pig farm? Those old girls went home a few years ago and gave them New Year's goods. They were filial.
Very!" Shandanniang said with a smile.
"They are all good children! Where's the cherry? How about the cherry?" Mrs. Huangfu asked, thinking about the cherry.
Shandanniang paused, with a sarcastic look on her face, "It's hard for my elder sister not to blame her, but to still miss her. She's settled well after marrying to Zhaojiatun, but she's so busy that she doesn't come back even once a year. If she doesn't come back, she'll be gone."
Come back, anyway, it’s the same for us to go see them from a distance!”
Mrs. Huangfu nodded and said, "It's hard for my sister and brother to come to my house. Speaking of which, the cherry incident caused a lot of trouble..."
Shan Danniang said quickly: "My family is sorry for my old sister. We don't have the face to see you. In fact, we are worried about this very much!"
Mrs. Huangfu quickly said: "Now that the matter is over, let's not talk about it. I know that you and your wife are real people!"
Shan Danniang nodded quickly. With Mrs. Huangfu's words, the knot in her heart was untied. The more they talked, the more they were in agreement, and they were just like before.
In the evening, Zhao Xiaomai came back from the town and heard that Shandan's father and mother had come today. He thought of the gossip he heard today and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong, business is not going well?" Jin Yu asked quickly.
"Whether it goes well or not, this year is coming to an end, let's talk about it after the New Year! I heard from people in Sunjia Village that Yusheng stole Mingfa brother's money and ran away, maybe to Chuhan City!" Zhao
Wheat lowered his voice and said.
"Then you read Sun Yusheng's book in vain. The more you read, the blinder you become. It's a pity that Brother Mingfa, now Luan Er, Hammer and Changhe, don't have the skills of Brother Mingfa! After all, it was the girl who taught it with her own hands!" Jin Yu sighed
road.
"At that time, I tried to persuade Mingfa to stay, but Mingfa was a real person. I felt that Yusheng had done what he did and felt sorry for our family. There was really no way he could stay in our family. After he came out of our family, he
He just worked as a part-time worker and refused to grow vegetables. Only after I told him did he agree to grow vegetables. But now that everyone in the town recognizes our vegetables, the sales of the vegetables he grows are not good!" Zhao Xiaomai sighed.
The tone said.
"Forget it, don't think about it. Everyone has his or her own destiny, and we can't control that much! By the way, now that the Chinese New Year is here, what should Yu Xiulian do? We can't hide it all the time!" Jin Yu thought of the tragic death of Mr. Wu.
With Li Dayong, I feel bad.
These days, Yu Xiulian lives in the house, and she has become familiar with Yu Xiulian. Pan'er and Li Hai have also become good friends. She really can't bear to tell Yu Xiulian the bad news.
"I'm also thinking about this matter. This person can't be resurrected after death. She has to know sooner or later. If not, she can hide this New Year first and let the two of them celebrate the New Year in secret!" As soon as Zhao Xiaomai finished speaking,
He heard a sound outside the door, which seemed to be the sound of a bowl falling on the ground and breaking. He was startled, and quickly opened the door and went out. He saw Yu Xiulian kneeling on the ground picking up the bowls and chopsticks that had fallen on the ground, and spilled the utensils all over the floor.
Porridge.
"I'm here to deliver salty porridge to Pan'er. Hai'er wants to drink it. I made too much..." Yu Xiulian murmured while touching the bowl.
Zhao Maimai was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Jin Yu quickly put on her clothes and came out. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help shouting: "Xiulian, be careful!"
Before Jin Yu could finish her words, Yu Xiulian screamed, and her hand was cut by a piece of bowl, and blood flowed out.
"Xiulian, stop trying. You...have you heard everything?" Jin Yu stepped forward and quickly held Yu Xiulian's hand.
"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything. Dayong and my father are both alive and dead. They will come back, they will come back!" Yu Xiulian lowered her head and murmured, breaking free from Jin Yu's hand.
, and have to clean up the dishes.
Lizi heard the noise and ran over quickly. When she saw the scene in front of her, she hurriedly knelt down to help.
"Lizi, stop cleaning up. Help Yu Xiulian go back to the house and have a rest!" Jin Yu pulled Yu Xiulian and motioned for Lizi to help her side. The two of them took Yu Xiulian back to the house, one on each side.
Along the way, Yu Xiulian kept muttering: "It won't die, it won't die. Dayong even said he wanted to buy Hai'er some toys, he won't die, he definitely won't die!"
Jin Yu couldn't help but choked up and cried while holding Yu Xiulian.
When Jin Yu cried, Yu Xiulian couldn't hold on any longer and fainted with a cry.
"Lizi, ask Liu San to ask Doctor Xu, go quickly!" Jinyu hurriedly followed Lizi, put Yu Xiulian on the kang, and then quickly ordered.
Li Zi quickly went out and called Xia Zhi to come in to help. She picked up the lantern and left the house, and went outside to call Liu San.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Li Hai got up from the kang, looked at Yu Xiulian and cried loudly.
"Haier, your mother is tired. Don't you want to drink salty porridge? She is in the kitchen. Let Sister Xia Zhi take you there!" Jin Yu said quickly.
Yu Hai refused to leave, so Xia Zhi had no choice but to carry him away.
Listening to Yu Hai's cries and looking at Yu Xiulian who was unconscious, Jin Yu couldn't help but wipe her tears again.
How will those who are left with orphans and widows live after this?
Mrs. Huangfu also knew about this ordeal, and the whole family felt uncomfortable for Yu Xiulian.
Xu Ting came with a medicine box on his back, and Zhao Maimai hurriedly welcomed him into the house. By this time, Yu Xiulian was already awake, just lowering her head and sobbing, refusing to say a word.
Xu Ting felt his pulse and said, "It's just excessive sadness. It's nothing serious!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu nodded quickly, stepped forward and whispered: "Doctor Xu, I'm sorry to bother you so late. If you can't, give her some medicine to take to stabilize her mood!"
Xu Ting nodded and was about to go out to prescribe medicine when he heard Liu San scream outside the door and rushed in shouting: "Ghost, ghost!"
