Chapter 85 Bad news or good news?
"Liu Degui is such a ruthless guy! He took Mrs. Liu and the others to the city, but didn't bring them back. Maybe he was behind it!" Mr. Tai sneered, "He always seemed to be the best at putting on an act, but he's actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Old Master Tai also nodded. "We've all been neighbors for years, so we all know how each family lives. Liujia Village suddenly started renovating the ancestral hall. Where did they get the money? Maybe it was just some unexpected income!"
Master Tai knocked his pipe twice and replied, "Just as I guessed, Mrs. Liu and her two sons were probably sold! They deserved it!"
"They didn't know their place, they always thought no one could do anything to them! Now, we showed them mercy, and their own people dealt with them!"
Old Master Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and warned, "Third brother, you won't be able to marry a girl from Liujia Village in the future. Their clan is not upright from the very beginning, so it's better to stay away from them. As for the clan members, it's best to warn them a few words. Be careful when you meet people from Liujia Village in the future."
"That's right. I'll say a few words to you at dinner tonight." Mr. Tai San said solemnly, adding, "And I'll also give my Jicai's wife a few more warnings. If she's still being foolish, let her go back to Liujia Village."
As he was speaking, his temper flared up again. He stood up, called his youngest son, and went home.
In the Tai family's house, Yang Lihua was afraid that her sister-in-law would hear about this from others and get anxious, so she found an excuse and called Liu Dongniang to the west room to talk, and also brought the milk ball Zhuzhu with her.
Liu Dongniang didn't know what was going on. She picked up the chubby little girl and asked while wiping the snack crumbs off her hands.
"Sister-in-law, what happened? I have a lot of work to do outside. Can't we talk about it tonight?"
Yang Lihua glared at her, then smiled and said, "A little while is enough. Just think of it as helping me hold Zhuzhu. This fat girl should be called Zhuzhu. She's becoming more and more burdensome."
Liu Dongniang also laughed, lowered her head and kissed Zhuzhu on the head, "If you don't like her, just give her to me as your daughter. I will make sure she gets fatter!"
After that, she asked Zhuzhu, "Zhuzhu, at noon, auntie will roll noodles for you and make meat sauce, okay?"
"Okay, Auntie is the best, Zhuzhu will tolerate you!"
The fat girl was so happy that she immediately responded in a baby voice, her big eyes curved into crescents with joy, and her little feet kicked happily!
Yang Lihua was jealous and tapped the fat girl's forehead, "You are a little traitor. Whoever gives you milk is your mother!"
Zhuzhu hugged her aunt's neck, giggling and becoming more and more clingy.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Yang Lihua whispered, "Dong Niang, there's news from Liujia Village that the family was sent to the city by Village Chief Liu for medical treatment. But Mrs. Liu and her two sons found the clinic too expensive and went out to find another place to live, but they haven't been seen since.
"The people of Liujia Village have been searching the city for several days, but to no avail. There's a lot of gossip going around now. Some say they suddenly got rich and ran away, some say they were murdered by bad guys, and some say they went to visit relatives somewhere..."
Liu Dongniang was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and fiddled with Zhuzhu's chubby, white hands.
Yang Lihua was afraid that she would get angry too, so she quickly advised, "Don't worry, those three mothers are smart people, they will definitely be fine. Maybe they think their daughter-in-law and children are a burden, so they secretly ran away to enjoy themselves..."
Liu Dongniang raised her head and replied calmly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine. The severance agreement has been signed. Whether their family lives or dies has nothing to do with me anymore! In fact, I feel relieved that they've disappeared. I don't have to worry about them suddenly coming back and causing trouble for our family anymore!"
Yang Lihua looked at her expression carefully and found that she did not seem to be saying one thing and doing another, so she felt relieved.
"That's great that you think so. Ji Zong is considerate and thoughtful, and Yong Yue is filial. We will definitely have a good life in the future. It doesn't matter if I don't have a mother's family. Look, I'm an orphan too, and I'm fine too."
Liu Dongniang nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I will listen to you. As long as our family doesn't despise me, I will cook for our family for the rest of my life and live a peaceful and stable life."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Without you, our family would be in chaos. Who would dare to look down on you?" Yang Lihua joked. "Others won't say anything, but Zhuzhu will be the first to make a scene if she doesn't have the food you cook for a day."
Zhuzhu was also smart. She immediately hugged her aunt's neck and cried in a baby voice, "Auntie, don't leave. Zhuzhu misses you!"
Liu Dongniang couldn't help but have red eyes as the fat girl's warm and soft little face touched hers.
She tried her best to swallow the last bit of grievance in her heart and smiled, "Zhuzhu, be good, auntie won't go anywhere! Auntie will make delicious food for you every day!"
Zhuzhu was finally coaxed into laughing, and she kissed her aunt several times. Finally, she looked at the white mist on her aunt's head, happily puffed her pigtails, and quickly slipped downstairs to find her grandfather!
Yang Lihua scolded with a smile, "This little girl is so agile when she walks. She's more slippery than a loach and never idle for a moment!"
Liu Dongniang laughed and replied, "It's better for children to be more lively!"
After saying that, she touched her belly and sighed softly, "Sister-in-law, I won't take any more medicine after I finish the medicine. Maybe it's destined that I will only have one son, Yongyue. Fortunately, you have many children, and Yongyue has brothers to support each other. I won't drink the bitter medicine soup and waste my money."
Yang Lihua felt distressed when she heard this. Her sister-in-law had already caught a cold and was ill, and falling into the water made the situation even worse. There was really little hope for her to have children in the future.
She gathered her thoughts and responded cheerfully, "You're right, they grew up sleeping on the same kang, so they're like real brothers! As long as Yong'an and the others have something to eat, Yongyue will definitely not starve."
"Don't worry about the boys anymore. Take care of your health first. Even if you don't want to have children, you can't suffer from stomach pain every month!"
Liu Dongniang nodded, and the two of them exchanged a few words before going about their own business.
Under the eaves, Grandpa Tai was holding his fat granddaughter and talking to Tai Jizong, who looked worried.
Just then, Liu Dongniang came out of the house with a smile on her face, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Master Tai angrily chased his son away, "Go and get busy, don't worry about your wife!"
Tai Jizong laughed so hard that his face turned red. He scratched the back of his head and left quickly.
As a result, Tai Jiye came up to his little niece with a smile and started talking to her.
"Zhuzhu, have you finished your snacks? Uncle will go to the city to buy you two boxes, okay?"
The fat girl blinked twice, covered her mouth with her little chubby hand, and said dejectedly, "No, no, no, Mom said that if you eat too many snacks, little bugs will bite Zhuzhu's teeth. Zhuzhu will be an ugly girl without teeth! Zhuzhu doesn't want to be an ugly girl. Zhuzhu only eats two snacks a day. Zhuzhu doesn't eat more!"
Tai Jiye originally wanted to use his little niece as an excuse, but he didn't expect to fail so easily!
He stood there with a stiff smile on his face, looking as funny as could be.
