The old lady looked at Qin Nanjing's dark eyes staring at her, as if she could see through the injustice she had done thirty-two years ago.
The old lady's heart skipped a beat.
What does she mean? Why does she mention this number? The Dafang family has changed a lot recently. Could it be that they have discovered something?
Then she dismissed the idea, comforting herself: "It's impossible. No one discovered it thirty years ago, so it won't be possible thirty years from now." She probably harbored a grudge against the family tree.
Even so, she was still a little nervous.
"Hmph! You're nothing!" The old lady cursed angrily. Not daring to argue any further, she got up and left.
Hu hurried to catch up.
Although she was confused by what she heard just now and didn't understand, she still caught a glimpse of something unusual from the old lady's stunned expression.
Murder for money?
Thirty-two years?
Proudly calling out stepmother-in-law?
What kind of riddle is this?
Hu was secretly concerned and looked for an opportunity to investigate the matter.
During this period, strange things happened frequently in the family. As the head of the family, Mrs. Hu suffered a lot and had a very unhappy life.
Outside, she is busy with the shop business with declining revenue, and inside, in addition to handling all matters at home, she also has to serve her parents-in-law.
Before the family split up, Qin Nanjing personally took care of her parents-in-law's food, daily life, and bedside manner.
Although the revenue of the shops outside the village will not continue to rise, it has been tending to be stable.
The family is also looked after by many trustworthy maids and housekeepers, and nothing major has ever happened. Even if something does happen, Qin Nanjing will help deal with it.
Mrs. Hu only needed to collect rent and check accounts outside, and manage the expenses of money, entertainment, gifts and other expenses inside. She lived a relatively easy and comfortable life.
And now the eldest wife has left home and cut off ties with her family.
Bad things kept happening in the family, and all the problems fell on her shoulders alone.
For some reason, the old man and the old woman, who had always been in good health, had been suffering from minor illnesses and pains recently.
Every time, she had to ask Hu to serve her personally, which was a daily torture that made her complain bitterly.
There is also an eighteen-year-old sister-in-law in the family who is still waiting to be married.
I don't know why my sister-in-law is absent-minded every day, as if she has lost her soul. She either stays in the yard and doesn't go out, or runs to the prince's mansion day and night.
As the younger sister-in-law grew older, the old lady urged her to arrange her marriage every day, but the younger sister-in-law refused to marry anyone other than the eldest prince.
The old lady felt sorry for her daughter, so she ordered Hu to make this happen.
Are you kidding me? That's the eldest prince. What should she do?
Did they think she could marry into the royal family whenever she wanted?!
If she could, she would have married him back then. Why would she have to endure the anger of this old woman now!
Nothing really goes well.
Mrs. Hu originally wanted to go up the mountain to worship Buddha today and get some "Buddha bathing water" to get rid of bad luck, but she ended up making such a fool of herself on the first day and was even bullied by the old lady.
The "thirty-two years" mentioned by Qin Nanjing must be a handle that the old lady cannot mention.
Mrs. Hu thought to herself, if she were to catch her and hold the old lady’s vital points, let’s see how she would dare to act like a demon in the future!
Back in the dormitory, the old lady sat down and yelled at Mrs. Hu.
"What were you doing just now? Didn't you see Qin pointing her finger at my nose? You didn't even say a word. Where did your usual sharp tongue towards the servants go?!"
Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes secretly, stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for the old lady, and said kindly,
"Mother, don't be angry. Qin said that just to provoke you. Don't be fooled."
"Enrage me?" The old lady's expression froze, recalling the hidden meaning in Qin Nanjing's words.
Why are there such things as "murder for money", "thirty-two years", and the last three words "stepmother-in-law"?
The old lady suddenly felt something was wrong.
Last year, the son of the younger brother of Rong Baichuan's biological mother Gu Yan went to Beijing to beg for money. It seemed that their attitude had changed since then.
That kid must have said something to them that aroused their suspicion, and Qin Nanjing was secretly testing them just now and said those words.
I have to talk to the old man about this later and confirm whether those people back then have been dealt with cleanly.
However, even if there is suspicion, what can be done? There is neither human witness nor physical evidence.
What could they find out after 32 years if the old man of the Gu family couldn't find out back then?
Thinking of this, the old lady suddenly became unscrupulous, let out a long breath, picked up the teacup and drank it in big gulps.
But I am still angry about what happened today.
"Are we just going to swallow this anger like this?!"
She put the teacup heavily on the table and looked at Mrs. Hu.
The latter immediately understood.
"If you want to vent your anger, your daughter-in-law has an idea..." Hu's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and she lowered her voice and said,
"If anything goes wrong with their food during tomorrow's almsgiving, I'm sure the unruly people who come to collect it won't reason with them. Then all we have to do is..."
After hearing these words, the corners of the old lady's mouth gradually rose, and the depression in her heart was relieved a lot.
"Okay, send someone to do it right away! I'll make sure they're skinned alive tomorrow!"
…
After the “Buddha Bathing Water” was collected, there was a sutra chanting activity in the front hall.
The monks in the temple were already waiting inside, and the pilgrims came in one after another after lighting incense outside.
Rong Chaoxi was led to the front of the hall by Rong Xuqing.
The little guy stood in front of the high threshold, his eyes full of unwillingness. He was ready to compete with it and rolled up his sleeves to fight.
"Little sister, do you really not want your sister to carry you over?" Rong Xuqing asked with a smile, pursing her lips as she looked at the little girl who was gesturing with her hands how to turn over.
"Yes, Chaoxi can..." said the little guy with great momentum.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and tied it around her belt. She put her chubby hand to her lips, blew on it twice, and then brushed back the fine hair on her forehead.
[It's just a small threshold to Wo's chest, no problem at all. Nothing can stump Chaoxi!]
"Our Chaoxi is the best. Nothing in this world can stump her." Rong Yubai sneered when he heard that, lowered his eyes and looked at the little guy and said.
It seemed like he was talking to Rong Xuqing, but in fact he was responding to the little guy's thoughts.
Upon hearing this, the little guy raised his chubby double chin, snorted softly, and said confidently, "Chaoxi is the best, brother is optimistic about it."
"Okay, okay,...ha...we're watching." Rong Yuanyou, who was sitting on the doorstep, said with a yawn.
After eating, you should lie down on the bed and sleep, why recite scriptures?
Rong Yuanyou's eyelids were already twitching.
Silver Eye and Silver Wood stood behind him with their arms folded, not understanding why the little guy was so serious about such trivial matters.
The ringing of the bells in the early morning made me dizzy.
I ate so much just now that I stuffed myself like a little squirrel.
The high threshold at this moment...
There really isn't anything she doesn't show off.
