Chapter 51: Jiang's Suicide (Thanks for the extra chapter)
"Why not?"
Listening to his mother Xu Yuzhu's joke, the youngest Ouyang Mingli quickly responded, "I'm happy to! How could I not be happy? Dad, big brother, second brother, hurry up, the dinner is here..."
The father and his two sons hurried over and sat down, then each of them took a bun and started eating.
I took a bite of the bun and chewed it again, and the aroma of meat filled my mouth.
Wow!
It turned out to be a meat bun!
Seeing everyone eating the meat buns with satisfaction, Ouyang Feiluo also smiled and thought: I have been so greedy all the way, and now I can finally eat meat.
I picked up a piece of braised pork with beans from the bowl with chopsticks and ate it slowly...
Looking at little Philo eating the meat buns and braised pork and beans like a little hamster, Ouyang Mingli smiled silently. He picked up the serving chopsticks and gave little Philo another helping of braised meat, whispering, "Sister, eat more so you can gain weight."
Ouyang Feiluo, who was eating happily, looked up at the fellow villager in confusion: "Why do you want to gain weight?"
"It looks good when it's plump."
"Old Xiao is right, my sister looks good when she is chubby."
Seeing his second brother say the same thing, Ouyang Feiluo put down his chopsticks and squinted his eyes at Ouyang Mingxu: "Second brother means that I am ugly now."
Hearing this, the brothers Ouyang Mingxu and Mingli, who were full of desire to survive, hurriedly waved their hands and said, "How could it be? My sister looks pretty now too."
"Yeah, it looks good now."
After saying this, Ouyang Mingxu was afraid that Ouyang Feiluo would not believe him, so he nodded confidently and pulled his eldest brother Ouyang Minglou: "Brother, do you think my sister looks good now?"
Ouyang Minglou ignored Mingxu's eye contact. After carefully looking at Ouyang Feiluo, he said sincerely, "I think my sister has always been very beautiful."
Listening to Ouyang Minglou's words, Ouyang Feiluo nodded with an expression of a teachable child, then glared at her second and third brothers, snorted coldly, picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat the braised meat in the bowl.
Seeing this, the three brothers smiled knowingly, then continued eating the buns...
The family of six didn't know that at this time in a courtyard in Yushan, Li Zizheng ordered people to carefully inquire about the situation of the Ouyang family, especially the little Philo family.
After giving the order, Li Zi thought about the words Meng Yi left before he left.
"I was asked by a nobleman in the capital to take care of that little kid's family. The kid had a head injury when he left the capital..."
How did this little kid get hurt? Did he fall down on his own?
There is a great man in the capital. Who is this great man?
But why do you only take care of that little kid's family?
Touching the two five-hundred-liang silver notes in his sleeve, Li Zi felt that the Ouyang Jin family might need them more. He then stood up and walked into the yard. Just as he was about to step out of the gate, he stopped.
After a moment, Li Zi turned around and walked back with his hands behind his back. He thought he should observe the situation for a while longer.
At the beginning of the You hour, sisters-in-law Jiang Yun and Xu Yuzhu arrived at the courtyard, took the cornmeal handed over by their sister-in-law Jiang, and then turned and went into the kitchen.
It was December and the weather in the northwest was already very cold. The two sisters-in-law walked around the kitchen but didn't see any firewood or a drop of water. So Jiang Yun and Xu Yuzhu talked about it and then walked out of the kitchen.
Xu Yuzhu put down the big bowl of cornmeal in her hand, walked out of the kitchen, took a broom under the eaves and started cleaning the kitchen.
On the other side, Jiang Yun was talking to the old lady Chen Yanhua at this time: "Mother, you asked your daughter-in-law and second sister-in-law to come and cook, but there is no firewood or water. What are the daughters-in-law going to do?"
"Also, my sister-in-law only gave me a bowl of cornmeal, but she didn't tell me whether to make it into porridge or pancakes. Mom, we're in Yushan now, and we have to do everything ourselves."
Hearing this, Chen Yanhua looked at Jiang, staring at her closely and asked, "You only gave Jiang and the others a bowl of cornmeal?"
"Mom, my daughter-in-law is afraid that they will ruin the ingredients, so..."
"So, Jiang, don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. I'm telling you, go get some water now, and ask Ming Qing and Ming Yan to find some firewood. You're all such a hassle, and I don't know what use I have for you..."
While Chen Yanhua was cursing, Ouyang Mingqing's voice was heard in the yard.
"Grandma, my brother and I have collected firewood. The journey was quite long, so we are a little late."
Hearing Ouyang Mingqing's voice, Chen Yanhua's expression brightened slightly. She glared at Jiang and said, "Hurry up! You're not even as good as two children. I should have divorced you earlier. Bringing you here is such a rude person."
Jiang lowered her head and responded, then hurried out. However, when she went to get the wooden barrel, she found that it was missing. She walked out and looked at the open courtyard door, and saw her two sons leaving, each carrying a wooden barrel.
Seeing this, Jiang turned around and went back to the house to wait for dinner.
With firewood and water, the two sisters-in-law first cleaned the kitchen, and then started to bake pancakes with the bowl of cornmeal.
After finishing, the two of them filled a colander with cornmeal cakes and brought them directly to the main house.
"Madam, the pancakes are ready, and the hot water is boiling in the pot in the kitchen. My daughter-in-law has gone home first, and the family is waiting for her to cook dinner."
Looking at the dry pancakes, Old Lady Chen Yanhua had no appetite at all. She looked at the two people and asked, "The pancakes don't have oil in them."
Xu Yuzhu was the first to speak up, "Madam, I've searched the entire kitchen, but there's not even a grain of salt, let alone oil."
"What? Just follow me." Chen Yanhua immediately stood up and walked out of the house towards the kitchen.
Walking into the kitchen, Chen Yanhua first saw the steaming pot, then looked inside and saw that it was half full of hot water. She nodded and started walking around the kitchen.
After walking around, Chen Yanhua's face became more and more ugly.
Thinking of Jiang who had disappeared after going out to fetch water, Chen Yanhua looked at the two and asked, "Who fetched the water for today?"
"To answer the old lady, it was Qing'er and Yan'er who fought back, and Yan'er even fell down."
Listening to Jiang Yun's words, Chen Yanhua waved her hands at the two of them with an angry look on her face: "You guys go back. Starting tomorrow, you will come here to cook lunch and dinner. You don't need to come for breakfast."
"Yes, old lady, your daughter-in-law will take her leave."
After seeing the two leave the courtyard, Chen Yanhua closed the gate and then went outside Jiang's house and shouted, "Jiang, you greedy lazy woman. Not only did you not cook, but you even hid all the oil and salt in the kitchen."
"Since you dare to hide, from now on, you will be the one making all three meals a day. Now hurry up and make dinner for me..."
"I'm telling you, if you don't steam the eggs for me today, I'll peel your skin!"
Jiang, who was in the room imagining that Xu and Jiang were being bullied by the old lady, heard the old lady's yelling and scolding. She shuddered and immediately came to her senses.
After a moment of hesitation, she hurried out of the house and shouted loudly: "Mom, I am innocent. I just took a break because I was tired from fetching water. I didn't hide anything..."
