Chapter 34 Wang Guixiang comes to scold
Li Qiaoqiao shyly stuffed a bamboo basket into Xu Jiayuan's hands and said, "Brother Jiayuan, here are... half a pound of meat and three eggs. I... I brought them from home especially for you to improve your life! You are an intellectual, and farm work is so tiring. You need to eat more to replenish your body."
Xu Jiayuan declined several times, but finally accepted it reluctantly. He looked at Li Qiaoqiao lovingly and said, "Qiaoqiao, you are so good to me. Don't worry, I will never let you down when I return to the city..."
As he said that, he actually leaned over and kissed Li Qiaoqiao on the cheek.
Li Qiaoqiao blushed, lowered her head and shyly played with the corner of her clothes, saying: "Brother Jiayuan, you are the best! I...I will bring you some white flour steamed buns in a few days!"
As she said this, she turned around and was about to run away shyly, but Xu Jiayuan grabbed her and held her in his arms: "Qiaoqiao, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I kissed you... and you're so shy. Huh?"
Xia Juanjuan got goosebumps all over her body. This Xu Jiayuan is really not a good person!
Last time he tricked and attacked the original owner, and now he tricks Qiaoqiao!
However, although Li Qiaoqiao is her sister-in-law, she has been married for a few days, and every time she sees her, she rolls her eyes to the sky. She has never called her "fourth sister-in-law" once. She is the same as her mother Liu Lan. She is too lazy to care about these trivial matters.
She waited until Li Qiaoqiao and Xu Jiayuan entered the grove at the edge of the village before she emerged from the bushes and headed towards her home.
I don’t know whether the three little ones are well behaved at home or whether they have eaten enough at noon.
Although she entrusted the three cubs to them based on Li Jie and Zhou Qiuhe's performance in the past few days, she felt that they were honest and kind, and were grateful and repaying favors.
However, when faced with interests, not everyone can maintain their original intentions.
This was also the purpose of her giving Zhou Qiuhe so many supplies in the morning.
If the three kids get to eat meat at lunch, it means the Third House family can still be trusted.
If you are not willing to eat the meat and instead take it for yourself, then you will only be able to maintain a decent appearance in the future.
Before I even got home, I heard Wang Guixiang howling at the top of her lungs.
"Oh my! This is so unfair! My house has been robbed! And it's a thief in my house! The half pound of meat I just bought was hung on the eaves of someone else's house to be made into bacon..."
Xia Juanjuan frowned when she heard this, and saw Wang Guixiang blocking the door of her house, crying and shouting. There was a group of middle-aged village women surrounding her, all of whom were close to Wang Guixiang. They were pointing and talking at Zhou Qiuhe who was standing nearby.
"The old saying is true! No matter how careful you are, you can never prevent a thief from roaming around in your home! I never thought that the new daughter-in-law of this Li family would actually be a thief!"
"That's right! Half a pound of meat is so expensive! We are lucky to be able to eat it once a year. If we steal someone else's meat, it will be rotten in our mouths!"
"I think...it's possible that Zhou Qiuhe stole it! I smelled the aroma of meat coming from their room at noon..."
…
Zhou Qiuhe protected the three little kids and explained weakly, somewhat at a loss:
"Big...sister-in-law! This half pound of meat was given to me by Juan Juan this morning, asking me to take care of the three little guys' lunch. I fried half a pound, and I wanted to make the remaining half a pound into bacon for her so that it would be easier to preserve. That's why I hung it here to dry. I really didn't take it from your house..."
Wang Guixiang jumped up and pointed at Zhou Qiuhe's nose and cursed:
"Zhou Qiuhe! You're a fence-sitter! What's the matter? Seeing that little whore Xia Juanjuan is rich, you rush over to curry favor with her, right? Didn't you take the things from my room? How can you prove it? Anyway, the half pound of meat and three eggs in my room are gone! Didn't you steal them? Then it must be you or Xia Juanjuan who instructed these three brats to sneak into my room and steal them! Anyway, you can't escape the blame!"
"Get out of the way now. I'll go in and search the house. I'm sure I'll find the three eggs! If I do, I'll see how you can make excuses!"
Li Wen, who was protected by Zhou Qiuhe, suddenly broke free, opened his arms to block the door, and shouted loudly: "This is my house! I won't let you in! My house is not a den of thieves! Who wants to steal your meat! I'm afraid of getting an upset stomach if I eat it!"
When Li Wu and Li Bei Bei heard their brother speak, they also rushed over, opened their short hands to protect the door, clenched their fists, and shouted fiercely: "Second Aunt is bad! We don't steal things! Second Aunt is a bad guy!"
Wang Guixiang was pointed at and scolded by the three brats, she was almost mad: "Hey my! You've only been following that little whore for a few days! And you've already learned how to speak so eloquently? This is outrageous!"
As she was talking, her eight-year-old son Li Sheng suddenly rushed over, pushed Li Wen to the ground, and said arrogantly: "Li Wen, get out of the way! Or I will beat you up!"
Li Wen was only five years old, and his height was almost one-third shorter than Li Sheng. With this push, he was knocked down, and his forehead hit the door sill, causing his fair forehead to bleed.
However, he still glared at Liesheng, who was taller and stronger than him, and said in a crisp voice: "No! This is my house! You can't go in when my mother is not at home!"
"Xiao Wen!" Zhou Qiuhe cried out in surprise and tried to come forward to protect him, but it was too late.
Seeing that Li Wen was not convinced, Li Sheng raised his fist and was about to hit Li Wen, shouting: "Your mother? You guys lost your mother a long time ago! This mother is a fake! She just wants your house too!"
At the same time, Wang Guixiang also rushed up, pretending to grab Li Wu and Li Beibei's arms and force them to break in!
Xia Juanjuan was so furious that she rushed forward, grabbed Wang Guixiang's hair and pulled it back. Wang Guixiang lost her balance in pain and fell on her butt with a "ouch ouch"!
Then, she turned around, grabbed Li Sheng's fist that was about to swing down, and threw it away. Li Sheng fell to the ground and started crying loudly.
Originally, no matter how angry Xia Juanjuan was, she didn't want to hit the child. Of course, she didn't hit him, she just pushed him.
But Li Sheng was too arrogant. He pushed Li Wen to the ground, hurting his head. Not only did he not stop out of fear, he even clenched his fists and wanted to continue hitting him!
This is outrageous!
He's like this at the age of eight. What will he be like when he grows up?!
Li Wu and Li Beibei had been suppressing their fear and sadness to protect their new home, but when they saw Xia Juanjuan coming back, they pouted their lips and couldn't help but rush up to hug Xia Juanjuan's legs, shouting "Mom Mom" and burst into tears in grievance.
When Li Wen saw Xia Juanjuan coming back, tears welled up in his eyes, but he stubbornly held back and did not let the tears flow.
Xia Juanjuan glanced coldly at Wang Guixiang lying on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, you're just saying that my family stole half a pound of meat and three eggs from your family? I even said that you stole a bicycle from my family! How about you return the bicycle to me and I will return half a pound of meat and three eggs to you without saying anything?"
