Chapter 105 The Transaction between Lin and Song Xiu
With nothing to do, Song Jin took out needle and thread and started embroidering children's clothes.
Qin Chi took out the book and started reading.
But when he was reading, he would occasionally look up at Song Jin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, concentrating on doing needlework.
"Won't you ask how grandma fell?"
Qin Chi's sudden words made Song Jin stop sewing.
After a moment, Song Jin continued with his work, "It was just an accident, what's there to ask?"
Qin Chi chuckled, "Yes, it was an accident."
The two of them tacitly did not talk about this topic anymore.
Everyone thought that Mrs. Liu accidentally broke her leg when she came out of the kitchen, but Song Jin noticed something suspicious at the time.
There were half-rotten cabbage stalks at the kitchen door.
It's easiest to slip when you step on it in the cold winter.
From the traces, it can be seen that Old Liu stepped on the cabbage stems and fell, and when she fell, she also knocked over the wooden basin and bucket at the kitchen door. In Old Qin's family, as long as food is not wasted, it is rare to see rotten cabbage stems.
When Lin was cleaning up, Song Jin saw it, and Qin Chi naturally discovered something as well.
But she said nothing, and he remained silent.
Just think of it as an accident.
Lin, who was remembered by Song Jin, was knocking on the door of the fourth room at this time.
Qin Ming opened the door and said, "Third sister-in-law, what do you want?"
"I'm here to clean up the empty dishes and visit my sister-in-law." Lin said timidly with her head lowered.
Qin Mingsong never left a deep impression on Lin.
All Qin Mingsong knew was that Lin was timid but hardworking. Whenever he saw her at home, she was almost always working. When he heard that she was here to clean up the dirty dishes, he did not suspect anything and stepped aside to let Lin in.
Lin lowered his head and went in.
Go inside and stand next to the bed.
An empty bowl and spoon were seen on the bedside table.
It was the bowl that Xiao Liu had brought up earlier, and the porridge in it was gone.
Lin came to the bed and whispered quickly, "It's done."
Song Xiu, who had her eyes closed on the bed, suddenly opened them, and a strange arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. She took out a silver ingot of ten taels from under her pillow and handed it to Lin.
Lin quickly grabbed the silver, put it in her arms, turned around and left with the dirty bowl.
Money makes the world go round.
Song Xiu understood these words when she was very young.
For only twenty taels of silver, she could make old Liu, who killed her child, bedridden for several months. This deal was worth it.
"Why didn't he fall to death..."
In her previous life, Song Xiu knew that Mrs. Lin resented Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Lin had two miscarriages, due to her poor health and also because of the torture she received from Mrs. Liu.
However, Song Xiu used twenty taels of silver to bribe Lin, paying ten taels of silver first and then another ten taels after the deal was done.
Driven by interests and hatred, Lin agreed.
However, after agreeing for more than half a month, Lin never took action. She chose today to do it, when old Liu was in a trance because of the accusations made by her youngest son.
Lin succeeded and erased the evidence.
No one would doubt her even if someone questioned her again.
On this day, the atmosphere in the Qin family was depressing.
Old Mrs. Liu is bedridden.
From time to time, one could hear Old Mrs. Liu cursing in the main house.
Song Xiu never left the house, but ate and drank as usual.
But she had changed from her usual clingy attitude towards Qin Mingsong. She now had a more melancholy temperament. After dressing up carefully, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she looked quite charming in a broken way.
Qin Mingsong felt guilty towards her and also a little distressed.
At dinner time.
"Sister-in-law."
Qin Daya came to pass on the message, "The food is ready in the kitchen, and my mother has already divided it. Do you want me to bring it to the house for you?"
Song Jin has not answered yet.
Qin Chi stood up first, "I'll go get it."
Qin Chi went out for a while.
Bring the food back to the room for both of them to eat.
It's not just the two of them. In winter, each family rarely eats in the main hall. Usually, they eat separately. After all, it's so cold that the food will get cold soon after it is put on the table.
Song Jin sat next to the charcoal basin and ate.
But his ears were listening to the noise outside. The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough to overcome old Liu's voice. Secondly, the big room was closest to the main house.
All I could hear clearly was Old Liu's curses from outside: "Eat, eat, eat! You have food but you still despise it, and you still want to eat phoenix marrow and dragon liver? You have to be dead for that!"
"You lie in bed all day long like a lazy bum, and still want to eat this and that. It's really unfair that you don't serve your mother-in-law when she's sick..."
"Unfilial and unfraternal thing!"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
“…”
Song Jin just wanted to say that this old hag was really energetic. She still had the energy to curse even after breaking her leg.
This body is not just good.
Come to think of it, Song Jin died in his previous life, but the old woman did not die.
"Husband, are there quite a few elderly people over 70 in the village?"
Song Jin asked this suddenly.
Qin Chi heard this and was a little confused. "Yes, there are seven or eight of them. It's a rare longevity. Doctor Jing said that Huangshan has many talented people and beautiful scenery. The green mountains and clear waters are good for health."
Song Jin was about to nod.
I heard the voice of Old Liu cursing outside again.
"Second son's wife, you are courting death. You actually ate most of the eggs in the basket..."
"Mom! It's just cooking an extra egg. I'm not going to eat it. Why are you scolding me?"
Mrs. Liu retorted unconvincedly, "If you want to scold me, go scold my brother-in-law. He asked me to cook it. I was kind enough to think about your injury, so I cooked two more. I wanted to help you recover. What did I do wrong?"
"How dare you be so stubborn?!"
Old Liu seemed to be throwing something at someone.
Little Liu was not afraid at all, "Okay, your kindness is taken for granted! If you don't eat it, I will!"
After saying that, it seemed that Little Liu took the eggs and ran away! Old Liu cursed angrily again.
Song Jin ate his meal happily. He felt that today's food was particularly delicious and couldn't help but eat some more.
Qin Chi knew that his wife didn't like grandma, but he didn't expect that she disliked her so much.
Just knowing that the other person is unlucky can make you feel so good.
Well, his grandma is indeed not likable.
Song Jin thought of the noodles Li cooked last time, "Last time mother cooked noodles for us, did she use two eggs?"
"Don't think too much about it. Grandma is just taking advantage of the situation to find an excuse to scold people."
Qin Chi did not tell Song Jin that the flour, eggs, bacon, etc. used by Li were all bought privately by him for Li's special cooking, and he did not touch any public items.
Ever since Song Xiu had eaten flour last time, Old Liu had locked all the rice and flour in the kitchen in her room.
Only take out some when eating.
Three days passed in a flash.
Lin was not caught when he did it.
Anyway, so many people in the family didn't notice this. Song Jin and Qin Chi, who noticed something, remained silent and didn't investigate further.
At first, Song Jin thought that if Mrs. Liu stayed in bed, it would at least give the Qin family some peace and quiet for a while.
The actual situation.
She took it for granted.
The leg injury tormented old Liu so much that she couldn't sleep every night, and she would beat and scold people around her if things didn't go her way.
Even Old Man Qin couldn't stand it anymore and moved in to sleep with Erlang and the others.
Until Lin fell ill from exhaustion.
