Chapter 111 She Doesn't Love You Anymore
A hint of scarlet flashed across Zhai Ximo's phoenix eyes. Is this family no longer peaceful?
But his mother was not at home these few days, and they were often not at home either, so who knew who had quietly moved the food in her room.
"Mom! You went to the police station to reflect on yourself for a few days, but you're still so angry when you come back. You're making so much noise, what's missing from your room?" Zhai Ximo walked under the eaves, put down the hoe and asked.
Mrs. Liu twisted her plump body with her teeth bared, pointed at her third son's nose, and screamed, "Did you steal the food from my house?"
"We have food to eat!" Zhai Ximo replied calmly, "Did someone go to your room and take food?"
"Who else could it be if not you?! I knew you two had bad intentions and wanted me to die out there. That way you would have taken revenge, right? You want to take back the 500 yuan, right?!"
Wang Ziru walked into the fenced yard slowly with a small bamboo basket on her arm. She realized that her mother-in-law was scolding her for doing something sneaky.
"Mom, you still have the nerve to talk to me about the money I sent home? If you want to find fault, just tell me."
"Hmph! Then hand over the food, or I'll search your room. If I find it, you'll be in big trouble today." Mrs. Liu pointed at her third son and cursed him fiercely.
Wang Ziru said calmly, "What is missing from your room? If you keep suspecting me, I will make sure you stay in jail for the rest of your life next time."
"If not you, who else could it be? Could it be Liu Xiangqin and Xu Ping who did this?" Mrs. Liu insisted that it was the third daughter-in-law who stole the food from her room, and she was very angry.
"I call you mom because of your son's kindness," Wang Ziru said, not giving Mrs. Liu any face, her face gloomy, "You always accuse me of doing something sneaky. In fact, you just want the rice that Secretary Tang from the commune sent me, right?"
Want to eat? Dream on.
It's impossible to give you a grain of rice.
You, a stinky old woman, pretended to be a good person and secretly divided the money between the two families with your husband. Didn't you think that the mother and son would have nothing to eat and would starve?
Wang Ziru turned around and glanced at the people in the yard.
There were padlocks on the doors of the two newly built brick and tile houses of the eldest brother Zhai Qingsong, and the small door of the western annex was also locked.
No one knew where the couple went to work and they were nowhere to be seen.
Wang Ziru was a little unsure whether it was Xu Ping who did it.
But the second son, Zhai Jiahao, has not been at home these days. He went to Longwang Village to do carpentry work and did not come home at night.
If something is really missing from my mother-in-law's house, she can only look for it in the homes of the eldest and second sons.
Walking up to the man, she tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Knowing that the door of her mother-in-law's room was not locked in the past few days, she sneered secretly and whispered to the man: "Her door has not been locked in the past few days. We are not at home. Ask your eldest brother."
Zhai Ximo also understood what his wife meant. He couldn't just ask his two sisters-in-law directly.
Just at this time, the eldest brother Zhai Qingsong came back with well water on his shoulders.
Zhai Ximo saw that his elder brother was holding the rope that tied the bucket with one hand, and he was struggling. He might accidentally touch the wound on his left arm.
He walked over quickly and said, "Brother! Just tell me, I'll be at home and fetch you a few buckets of water."
"But be sure not to let the wound heal, or you will suffer in the future."
Zhai Ximo didn't say much. He took the bucket of well water from his elder brother's shoulder and walked towards the newly built brick and tile house.
Zhai Qingsong did not refuse his brother. He hurried to take down the lock on the stove door and opened it. "Then help me fetch two more buckets. We ran out of water at home yesterday."
"Okay, go and rest."
Zhai Ximo poured two buckets of water into the water tank, and when he came out with the buckets on his shoulders, he asked, "Brother! You have a wound on your hand, so you need to be more careful. By the way, where is my sister-in-law? She doesn't care if there is water in the water tank or not?"
"I don't know! He has been missing for the past few days..." Zhai Qingsong said in a muffled voice.
"Didn't your sister-in-law tell you where she was going?"
At this time, Wang Ziru hung the herbs she had dug out of the bamboo basket under the tree and asked casually, "Brother, just now Baoer's grandmother said that she didn't know who went to her room and stole her food. She blamed me and said that we took it. Do you know about this?"
Mrs. Liu put her hands on her waist and immediately yelled, "How dare you ask Qingsong? No matter how weak and incompetent my son is, he will not eat my food."
He roared with a ferocious look as if he wanted to eat Wang Ziru.
Hearing this sudden scolding, Wang Ziru's face changed, but she sneered: "It seems that I have been too lenient with you! Let's go to my room and take a look. If there is your food, my name, Wang Ziru, will be hung upside down."
Zhai Qingsong's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a muffled voice: "Mom! Don't blame my sister-in-law. It's not her who ate it..."
"You idiot, you're on her side too?!"
"Mom! If you continue to slander us, we will move out today. Don't even think about letting me come back to see you in the future." Zhai Ximo was about to put down the burden on his shoulders.
But I heard my eldest brother's voice calmly say: "I eat the things in her room."
"...No, what do you mean, brother? Did sister-in-law take the food from mom's room while she was not at home?"
Zhai Ximo and Wang Ziru were both stunned. What was going on?
Brother, are you taking the blame for Liu Xiangqin?
Not only did Mrs. Liu not believe what her eldest son said, she walked over and was about to hit him, but was stopped by her third son.
Although she couldn't beat the boss, Mrs. Liu was still talking, "What benefit did she give you? You are standing here to speak for them! Does she appreciate it?"
"Mom! Stop making such a fuss." Zhai Qingsong didn't want to let everyone at home know about his miserable life, but the current situation forced him to bite the bullet and slowly say, "Liu Xiangqin calls me a waste as soon as she sees me, and this hand has become disabled..."
"Since a few days ago, Liu Xiangqin has not allowed me to go back to my room to sleep, and even forbade me to eat. She has also locked the door. I haven't seen her during the day, and I don't know where she has taken Zhaodi."
"I am also a living person. How can I not eat? I couldn't stand being hungry for two days, so I went to your room to get some food."
After hearing the eldest uncle's aggrieved words, his dislike for Liu Xiangqin instantly reached its peak.
No one expected that the eldest brother had cooked and ate his mother's food.
Wang Ziru couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
This Liu Xiangqin was also a cruel woman. Not only did she not give her man food to eat, she also locked the door, making it clear that she did not allow him to enter the house to get food to cook.
Being able to push the boss to this point, he himself is really too weak and incompetent.
Mrs. Liu's previous expression of wanting to fight to the end with Wang Ziru suddenly changed direction.
In an instant, Mrs. Liu's hatred for the third daughter-in-law only increased.
Seeing her eldest son's expression change, Granny Liu pointed her black claws at Wang Ziru and was about to pounce on the third daughter-in-law, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't instigated the third son to fight me, how could Qingsong have ended up like this?"
"Mom! Stop it!"
The shoulder bar on Zhai Ximo's shoulder poked directly over, blocking the hand that I was about to reach out to grab Wang Ziru.
The eldest brother also hurried to block the mother's body that was rushing over.
He said weakly, "Mom! This is not my sister-in-law's fault. Why don't you listen to us?"
"It's not her fault, is it my fault?"
"Yes! It's your fault." Without waiting for the man to come out, Wang Ziru sneered, turned around and walked into the cowshed, dragged out a curved knife for cutting grass for cattle, "You bitch! If you dare to curse me again, if you dare to slander me again, this knife has no eyes. If I get mad, I will chop your son as well."
"No! You..." Zhai Ximo was shocked. He dropped the shoulder bag and bucket and hurried over to snatch the household items from his wife's hands.
He threw it back to the bullpen with great force.
Turning around, the man, who was a little angry, took a deep breath and said in a cold and ruthless voice: "Mom! From now on, you live your life and we live ours."
After saying this, he took his wife and walked into the main room, no longer paying attention to the mess in his eldest brother's house.
Behind him, as expected, the hoarse wails of Mrs. Liu were heard.
He scolded Liu Xiangqin and his own disappointing son.
Back in their own side room, Wang Ziru sat on the edge of the bed, shook her head helplessly, and pouted: "Back then, was this woman named Wang Ziru really blinded by greed? She didn't marry into a wealthy family in the city, but married into this mountain valley to suffer."
"..." Zhai Ximo froze.
This should be a woman's heartfelt sigh.
He also felt very uncomfortable. Both the Han family's background and its members were deeply enviable.
"I want to eat chicken for lunch. Go to the chicken coop and kill a hen. Then make some chicken soup for me. I need chicken soup to replenish my energy."
Wang Ziru said this and stood up, took the thermos and went out to wash her hands.
After washing my hands, I closed the door and went to sleep.
Waiting for chicken soup.
Wang Ziru had originally planned to fetch water to go to the back hill to farm in the afternoon, but she lay on the bed and sneered, unable to do anything.
Why don't you enjoy your good life and go farming? You are really asking for trouble.
Not long after, the man stood at the door holding a chicken, "Bao'er is not at home, it's just the two of us..."
"Don't worry, the child will have food to eat when he grows up." Wang Ziru hugged the quilt, lay on her side on the bed and began to plan her future life.
Zhai Ximo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He turned around and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and an earthen bowl to catch the chicken blood. He walked to the back of the house, squatted down, and slaughtered the chicken quickly.
I was still plucking chicken feathers at the back of the house when I heard Baoer's excited voice coming from the main room.
"Dad! I'm back."
Zhai Ximo looked up when he heard this, only to see his brother-in-law carrying Bao'er on his back walking in from the main hall. A smile immediately appeared on his stern face, "Bao'er, why don't you stay at grandma's house and play for a few more days?"
"Oh my god! Brother-in-law, you two adults secretly stewed chicken soup at home while the children were not at home?" Wang Zonghao looked at the hen in his brother-in-law's hands with greedy eyes and an exaggerated expression.
When I passed the door of the side room, I took a look inside and saw my sister sleeping comfortably on the bed!
"No, sister, you are here in broad daylight to recuperate after childbirth? Why are you sleeping and asking my brother-in-law to kill a chicken and make soup for you?"
Standing outside the side room, Wang Zonghao put his little nephew down from his back and joked.
Wang Ziru saw her son coming back, yawned, and waved to the child with a smile, "Baby, Mommy was just thinking about you, and you came back. You are really a good son of Mommy."
"But mom, did you ask dad to kill the hen? How can you eat chicken when I haven't even come home yet?" Baoer quickly ran into the side room and went straight to the edge of the bed. He put his arms around his mother's neck with his hands, and his little eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.
"It's over! Baoer, your mother doesn't love you anymore, she only loves your father." Wang Zonghao's nonchalant voice sounded outside the door.
Bao Er's face turned red with anger. She turned around and glared, "Ping Ping doesn't love you anymore. You're done too."
"No! Why are you cursing your uncle? Pingping doesn't love me, but he loves you?"
"Hmph! Don't think I didn't know you bullied Pingping last night! Brother Zhuzi and I saw it." Baoer pouted, and her temper flared up. She quickly showed off to her mother, "Last night, my uncle took Pingping to his room and bullied her."
