Saturday.
Zhou family courtyard.
"I heard that the police brought people to your house to search it! What crime did you commit that warranted a house search?"
When Ruan Xiaotang heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
She didn't want to come this Saturday because she was sure that her mother would make a big fuss about this.
Then he said a lot of sarcastic words to mock himself, and said that he had no manners and no education.
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
He lowered his head and poked the loofah in the bowl silently.
Because before coming, Zhou Xingze repeatedly told her not to confront her head-on, as he would take care of everything.
Zhou Xingze's face was calm, and he spoke calmly, "Yes, my house was searched, and I cooperated with the police in a routine investigation. The result was a fabrication, completely false, that's it."
After Zhou Xingze calmly said "yes", the people at the dinner table stared at each other with wide eyes.
He looked at Ruan Xiaotang who was lowering her head with frightened eyes.
Those burning gazes were too intense to be ignored.
The panicked Ruan Xiaotang became the target of everyone's criticism in the family.
"Why are you all looking at Xiaotang? Cooperating with the police doesn't mean she is a criminal. Besides, the results are out and it has nothing to do with her. What else is there to say?"
The sister-in-law was holding a bowl of rice and spoke in a low voice, but every word she said was full of power.
This was the first time that my sister-in-law expressed her firm stance in front of the whole family.
Ruan Xiaotang looked at her sister-in-law with gratitude and almost gave her a thumbs up on the spot, thanking her for standing up and speaking up for justice.
The others, fearing the mother-in-law's authority, lowered their heads the moment the sister-in-law spoke, some eating and some picking up dishes.
There was no one else who dared to support her, even with a comforting look.
After hearing what her eldest daughter-in-law said, Zhou's mother looked at her in surprise.
My eldest daughter-in-law, who has always been law-abiding, is acting crazy today.
He dared to challenge her openly in front of the whole family and was so tough.
It's simply the opposite of Tiangang.
"How can a law-abiding citizen be labeled a criminal suspect by the police for no reason? Ultimately, there is something wrong with this person and his intentions are not right!"
Ruan Xiaotang could guess with her toes that these words were directed at her.
She is the one with evil intentions.
"Mom, tell me, what's wrong with me? I'm not a petty person. I will definitely change if you make a reasonable request."
If you want to get close to your face, you have to open it wide.
Catch her off guard.
Zhou's mother was very surprised. How could a person who had done something wrong have the confidence and courage to confront her like this?
There is no one in this family that she needs to be wary of.
The words were already on her lips, and Zhou's mother didn't hesitate to ask directly, "I heard that you are engaged in speculation and profiteering. It's no one else's fault. Just tell everyone what you are selling that made the police target you."
"Okay, can we still eat this meal? If you're not welcome, we'll leave now."
Zhou Xingze put down his bowl and chopsticks heavily, frowned, and was very angry at his mother's relentless pursuit.
Going home, having a meal, and being happy as a family, isn’t that good?
They had to hold on to it and whip the corpse in public.
This meal still needs to be eaten.
"Have a meal!"
With great difficulty, Zhou's mother could only see her son once a week.
Goodbye, it's next week.
For the sake of my son, I have to swallow it and endure it.
After dinner, clean up the dishes.
The sister-in-law took Xiaotang's hand and asked guiltily, "Xiaotang, I am the culprit of this. If I hadn't brought the lipstick to the office and attracted other people's attention, you wouldn't have..."
"Sister-in-law, it's not your fault. Don't take it personally. This society is not a market economy yet and lacks a lot of flexibility. I'm fine now. Xingze has given me a profound and severe criticism and education at home. I will pay attention to it in the future."
This was a bit of comfort to my sister-in-law's anxious heart.
"Don't take Mom's words to heart. She's just that kind of person. When she gets old, she tends to worry about a lot of things."
My sister-in-law stacked up the washed dishes and put them in the cupboard.
Ruan Xiaotang doesn't think so, "She just looks down on me because of my rural background. She is just a snob."
She was so angry when she thought about what she had just said at the dinner table in front of all her family members.
At that moment, I really had an urge in my heart to lift the table, pat my butt and leave.
If it weren't for the fact that her son always went along with her and stood on her side, she would have had a face-to-face argument with the old woman.
If you don't accept her scolding, write her name Ruan Xiaotang backwards.
The eldest sister-in-law advised earnestly, "Xiaotang, don't get angry. It's not worth getting angry and hurting your health over these things."
The eldest sister-in-law took a look at her belly and asked, "You and my second brother have been married for more than two months. It's time for your belly to make some movement."
"Sister-in-law."
Speaking of children, Ruan Xiaotang turned her face away shyly.
In the two months after her marriage, she was able to sleep well except during her menstrual period and when Zhou Xingze was away on business trips.
The rest of the time, he kept me busy until very late every night.
Since both of them work so hard, it’s only a matter of time before they have a child.
In order to have a child, Zhou Xingze abstains from smoking and drinking, and she doesn't need to supervise him. He is extremely active and self-disciplined.
He also tried his best for the big fat boy he had in his old age.
"My third brother's wife has been pregnant for a long time. The child she gives birth to will be the eldest grandson of our Zhou family. Our mother looks down on the child I give birth to!"
The eldest sister-in-law pulled Xiaotang over, leaned close to her ear, and said with a mysterious laugh, "The third son's wife is not pregnant at all!"
"What?"
Ruan Xiaotang covered her mouth in surprise and widened her eyes in disbelief.
I stared at my sister-in-law in disbelief.
The eldest sister-in-law was very calm, as if she had known about this for a long time.
"This couple told our mother a huge lie to deceive her. Just wait and see. They will end up with nothing but a tragic ending."
"Sister-in-law, how do you know that Meimei is not pregnant?"
When the sister-in-law saw Xiaotang looking at her with a very cautious look, she guessed that she would definitely ask this question.
Xiaoxiao said, "I know it was just a coincidence. I went to the toilet early that morning and happened to see Meimei go into her room and close the door. This proves that she had just gone to the toilet. How could a pregnant woman have her period? Think about it carefully."
In Ruan Xiaotang's impression, Meimei has always been the kind of idiot who speaks without thinking.
Unexpectedly, one cannot judge a person by his appearance.
He is so scheming and hides it deeply.
…………
"What are you thinking about? The flashlight is tilted, I can't see the road ahead clearly, and I might turn into a ditch. Don't cry."
"Don't think about anything, just ride your bike well."
Ruan Xiaotang sat sideways on the beam and straightened the flashlight.
