Chapter 88 Liu Yeju digs a trap
Jiang Lian held three big unity notes between her fingers.
Thirty dollars!
Liu Yeju looked at the package. The thing was not very big. She could just dig a hole and bury it. It was not difficult. Who cares what it was?
If something really happened, she would betray Jiang Lian. Liu Yeju snatched the money and said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, the fourth son's wife will bring pickles to him tomorrow, and I'll take the opportunity to bury the things."
Liu Yeju went down the mountain with thirty yuan in her hand, her steps lighthearted. She looked at the blue sky and the pure white snow, and felt happy at everything she saw.
She stuffed the money into her shoe shells and walked with three big unity notes on her feet, making her steps brisk.
The mood is smooth and the heart is happy.
Liu Yeju coughed and straightened her chest. She had been working all year round and liked to hunch her shoulders. Suddenly straightening her back was actually quite uncomfortable.
But she just likes the feeling of looking at people through her nostrils!
Liu Yeju stuffed the package under the cupboard and said, "Leave it there for now and bury it in the fourth son's wife's room tomorrow."
The next morning, at daybreak, I heard a few crows from someone's house.
Jiang Wanwan put on a pink jacket and a pink headscarf, and looked like a young lotus by the Qinhuai River. She wrapped Jiang Yourou in an old sweater and held him in her arms, then went out carrying a blue triangular cloth bag.
"Eh? Where's the lock?"
There is an old padlock in front of the third room’s door, which is usually hung on the door handle. When was it pulled away?
Jiang Wanwan searched around but couldn't find anything, so she went into the house, put the envelope and notebook with the money in it on her back. There was nothing valuable left in the house, so she wasn't afraid of people rummaging through it.
Erzhuzi saw her come out and took a broom to sweep the snow off the cart.
Jiang Wanwan climbed into the car and covered herself with a quilt.
Erzhuzi drove his donkey cart to Wuhuashan Military Region: "Sister-in-law, the diced chicken and pickled vegetables you made yesterday were so delicious that my grandma ate two bowls of rice."
He pretended to be poor in front of others and even ate rice and flour behind closed doors, but he naturally said whatever he wanted in front of his fourth sister-in-law.
"Just eat what you like."
She didn't take much, so everyone just had a taste.
These days, any piece of thread or cloth in your home is considered a good thing.
Erzhuzi has been in a really good mood recently, always smiling: "You must like it."
Jiang Wanwan and Erzhuzi's donkey cart disappeared in the production team. The door of the second room of the Shen family was secretly opened. Liu Yeju pretended to go to the toilet in the morning and came out wearing a coat over her sweater.
She bent down and ran under the eaves to the door of the third room. She felt in her pocket, took out an iron padlock and threw it into the snow beside her.
It wasn't her who stole the padlock, it was taken down by a child while playing!
Liu Yeju took a pickaxe and went into the house.
She seldom came to the third room, but she didn't expect it to be so clean. It didn't look like the room where Miss Jiang Wanwan lived at all.
Where should I put it?
She looked around and found that the ground next to the stove was relatively loose. Usually, wood was burned there, so the color of that ground was different from other places, and there was also wood chips serving as a cover.
Liu Yeju wielded a pickaxe and dug a hole. She buried the things given by Jiang Lian in it. Afraid of being discovered, she covered it with sawdust and firewood. From the outside, it was difficult to tell that there was something buried underground.
After burying the dead, Liu Yeju returned to the second room. After getting on the kang, her heart was pounding wildly. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Shen Erzhu was woken up: "If you can't sleep, get up and cook."
Liu Yeju paused, she was furious: "Am I your slave? You just ask me to work for you. I... I just dreamed that something happened at home, I want to go back and take a look."
The thirty dollars left here would be a bomb, so she wanted to send it to her parents' home.
It’s hard for me to raise six brothers, and there are so many nephews and nieces. How can I, as an aunt, not worry about them?
Liu Yeju wished she could grow wings and fly back home, or even turn into Tuxingsun and burrow into the ground to get back home. She couldn’t wait any longer.
Shen Erzhu wanted to say that the adobe bricks at home were not finished and needed help, but when he saw Liu Yeju's anxious look, he believed that she had a nightmare.
"You go back."
Liu Yeju put on her clothes: "Of course I have to go back. It's no use for you to stop me."
Shen Erzhu was choked, when was he going to stop her? His kindness was taken for granted, so he turned his back and planned to take a nap.
Liu Yeju put on her shoes and kept chattering, "Oh, you were just pretending just now. You got upset when you saw that I was really leaving. I hate people like you the most. You pretend to be generous even though you are obviously unhappy."
Shen Erzhu gritted his teeth, but still said nothing.
After Liu Yeju got dressed and went out, he opened his eyes and was no longer sleepy at all.
Liu Yeju's parents' home was in the Baiyingaoler Production Team next door, which was only an hour's walk away. Before going back, she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bundles of peach cakes and two bags of candy.
Holding the heavy thing in his hand, Liu Yeju looked so proud for the first time.
The Liu family lived in the corner of the production team. Mrs. Liu and her six daughters-in-law worked in the yard, sweeping snow, cooking, washing clothes, and doing work everywhere.
"Mom, that person looks like Xiaoju."
Granny Liu looked up and recognized that it was the useless girl she had given birth to. She walked to the door and waited: "Why are you here?"
Liu Yeju smiled and said, "Mom, I'll send the money back to you when I get it."
"Money? Your wife's family still has money for you? You just brought some eggs and wild vegetables when you went back home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. I don't know why you are so useless that you can't even give birth to a son. People look down on you. I am your mother, but I am the most powerful in the surrounding villages. I can give birth to a son just by bending my leg. How come you don't follow me at all and gave birth to two mean girls in a row? You are really useless."
There was disgust written all over Liu Pozi's face, and the sisters-in-law behind her were also very resistant to Liu Yeju coming over. They felt that the sister-in-law came back just to eat for free.
Liu Yeju took out the things and the remaining money in a flattering manner: "Look, mother, there are peach cakes and candies. There are more than twenty dollars left here. It is the money I earned from working for others. You must not tell anyone about it. Keep it for spending."
They were close to each other, and Liu Yeju spoke quietly, so the sisters-in-law only saw the food they were given, but not the money.
When Mrs. Liu saw the money, she quickly put it in her sleeves and pulled Liu Yeju into the house with a smile: "You have made it. Come in and sit down."
Every time Liu Yeju went home, Mrs. Liu would scold her and then ask her to do laundry and work. Liu Yeju was happy to do it every time. This was the first time she went home without having to work and was greeted by her mother-in-law with a smile.
What you are stepping on is not ground, it is clearly cotton!
Liu Yeju walked into the house with Liu Pozi in a proud manner. Outside the house, the Liu family's sisters-in-law, who were wearing thin clothes and had frostbite on their hands, looked at Liu Yeju enviously.
After entering the house, the old woman of the Liu family did not ask Liu Yeju where the money came from, but held her hand and asked about her life at her husband's house.
The last time Liu Yeju came back she wanted to complain, but her mother was in no mood to listen. Now that she had received so much money, Mrs. Liu naturally wanted to win over Liu Yeju's heart and show her concern for her.
Liu Yeju's eyes were red with envy, but her mother still loved her: "Oh, Shen Laosi got married. His wife is an educated youth from Beijing. She has a bad temper and is difficult to serve. She gives her good things to everyone else but me. She looks down on me."
"She's still a troublemaker. She's always involved when I beat up a dog. She said she'd ask the women's director to deal with me. Mom, I feel like I'm living a life worse than pigs and dogs over there."
Although the Liu family's mother-in-law was not very nice to her daughter, she would not allow outsiders to bully her daughter.
"You're such a coward. You don't even know how to fight back when you're bullied."
Liu Yeju felt extremely aggrieved and lay on the kang and howled, "How can I fight back? Shen Laosi protects his wife like the apple of his eye and the flesh of his heart. How can I beat him!"
