After hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law also realized that something was wrong.
There are so many people in the family, why do you question your three daughters-in-law first when you lose something?
So even after they've been married for so many years, their mother-in-law still treats them as outsiders?
Zhang Xiujuan rolled her eyes. This third daughter-in-law was the best at stirring up trouble.
She asked who took the gold bracelet and then turned the tables on them.
Maybe she was the one who took it, but she refused to admit it and deliberately provoked conflict.
"If you don't admit it, I'm going to call the police."
"When the police find out who took it, and put you in jail, don't accuse me of being inhumane."
"Call the police then. They can come and find out who stole the gold bracelet." The eldest daughter-in-law said confidently.
"Yes, calling the police can also clear our name." The second daughter-in-law also agreed.
"Report it. Whoever doesn't report it is the one who stole it!" The third daughter-in-law was not willing to be outdone.
All three of them stood very straight.
"We are all family. It would be embarrassing if you called the police just because you lost something." Lu Dazhuang, who had been silent, spoke up.
Zhang Xiujuan's gaze shifted from her three daughters-in-law to Lu Dazhuang.
The sons and daughters-in-law all went to work, and the daughter went to her grandmother's house, so Lu Dazhuang was the only one at home all day.
Now they are stopping me from calling the police.
"Dad, did you take the gold bracelet?" Zhang Xiujuan asked directly the question in her heart.
Lu Dazhuang slammed the table angrily: "You're talking nonsense, why would I steal your gold bracelet?"
"I've only been staying at your house for a few days, are you trying to kick me out?"
"Why didn't it get lost normally, but it got lost as soon as I got here?"
"It's not necessarily true that I saw the gold bracelet lost, but it's true that they wanted to drive me away, right?"
After Lu Dazhuang finished speaking, he sighed heavily: "Of my three sons, I love Shunzhi the most. I also gave the most when you got married, but have you ever supported me for a single day?"
"For so many years, I have been living in the home of the third brother. Have you ever taken care of me?"
"Did you give me a penny?"
"Now that the third daughter-in-law is unwilling to support me and has kicked me out, it's your turn to support me, right?"
"I've only been here a few days, and you're already doing this."
"If this family can't accommodate me, I'll leave."
"If the second brother doesn't want me either, I'll go sleep on the street."
Although Lu Dazhuang said this, he didn't even lift his butt.
He is very good at biting back and turning the tables.
Zhang Xiujuan didn't say anything, but she wished Lu Dazhuang would get out of here as soon as possible.
But after waiting for a long time, Lu Dazhuang didn't move.
"Dad, that's not what we meant. Something is lost at home, and Xiujuan just wants to ask if you have taken care of it." Lu Shunzhi came out to smooth things over.
"I didn't see it, and you didn't show it to me, so how would I know?"
"Besides, Zhang Xiujuan just said that she only discovered it today when a rat got in."
"Maybe it's already been lost."
"Don't blame me if you lose anything."
"Check your conscience. Is this appropriate for an elderly father?"
Zhang Xiujuan's face turned a little colder.
Her father-in-law is like an old rogue, what can't he do?
Maybe she lost the bet again, and the debt collector came to her house, stole her gold bracelet and sold it.
When she thought of this, Zhang Xiujuan became more confident.
Several daughters-in-law have been married into the family for several years and have never lost anything.
Why does Lu Dazhuang start losing things as soon as he moves in?
Who else could it be but him?
"No one said you stole it. You should go back to your room and rest early." Lu Shunzhi helped Lu Dazhuang up from the sofa with a dark face.
After sending it back to the house, he ran over to coax Zhang Xiujuan: "It's lost, so it's lost. I'll buy you another one later. Don't be angry."
"Lu Shunzhi, let me tell you, if you don't give me back this gold bracelet, I will divorce you!"
"He said he didn't steal it, how can you ask me to get it back?"
"Even if he took it, there's nothing I can do. He's my dad. Can I call the police and have him arrested?"
Lu Shunzhi's face was full of worry. Zhang Xiujuan was originally not happy about Lu Dazhuang moving in.
But they didn't drive him away because they were afraid of gossip from the villagers.
Now he has lost something again, a big gold bracelet, and he can't fit in any more.
"Don't tell me those useless things. If you can't get this gold bracelet back, either let him go or I will leave!" After Zhang Xiujuan said this, she went back to her room and slammed the door loudly.
--
It happened that the eldest and second sons were not at home on the weekend.
Chen Lichu went to the vegetable market early in the morning and bought two pounds of large trotter bones and vegetables suitable for hot pot.
The vegetables were thrown to the two daughters to wash.
She threw the large scallop bones into the pot, blanched them, took them out, and boiled a large pot of water again.
Add a little onion, ginger and cooking wine and slowly simmer the bone soup.
Then chop the freshly killed chicken into small pieces, wash it and put it in a basin for later use.
She caught the chicken from the chicken coop that morning.
Originally, she wanted to buy some beef and cut it into thin slices to make beef hotpot.
I loved eating this in my previous life. I couldn’t bear to eat it when I was young, and now I’m old and my teeth are not good enough to bite it.
In the days before her death, she wanted to eat stewed beef hotpot and was very craving for it.
This time she doesn't have to worry about money or her teeth, she must eat her fill!
But Chunhua said that when she went to pick up eggs in the morning, she was chased and pecked by this chicken.
She got angry for a moment, then picked up a kitchen knife and went to the backyard to catch the chicken and kill it.
So the beef pot turned into a chicken pot.
There’s no rush for the beef hotpot, we can eat it next time, but this chicken can’t wait any longer, it has to die today.
