Chapter 67: Sin

“I’m done with my vacation.”

In fact, he should have set off back today, but because of the arson case, he had to stay for two more days.

"So, what can I do for you?"

"No, just take care of the two children."

Lu Yunchen wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Even his previous determination to divorce and report the divorce as soon as he returned to the army was suppressed by him.

Maybe he should give each other another chance.

"All right."

Huang Xinran thought for a moment and said, "Then I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow to pay back the money I borrowed from them and to say hello to them."

"I'll go with you."

It just so happened that he also had something to tell his brother-in-law.

The next morning, he took his wife and children to the Huang family, and brought a jar of sweet wine lees for his father-in-law. The sweet wine lees were brewed at home a long time ago, and almost all the glutinous rice distributed by the production team was used up. There was not much left. The reason for bringing this was also because his eldest sister-in-law Wenying was about to give birth and she would need it for confinement.

But there was a small incident in the middle.

Last night, Lu Yunqian ran away and did not return home until the middle of the night. For this, she was severely scolded by Lu Tianlei.

When he saw Huang Xinran in the morning that she was still going to bring rice wine back to her parents' home, he started to mock her.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunchen scolded him before he even started talking.

Huang Xinran was so upset that her stomach ached from trying to hold back her laughter.

To be honest, she felt inexplicably happy when she saw Lu Yunqian suffering. What was going on?

Before they even reached the house, Yaya and Maomao ran straight into the Huang family's house. Soon they heard laughter coming from inside. Soon after, Liu Zhaodi came out holding Yaya in her arms.

Seeing the two approaching, he smiled and said, "Your father and your elder brother were just talking about going to the village, but you came back unexpectedly. Are you hot? Are you tired from the journey? Yun Chen, come in quickly and have some sugar water to quench your thirst."

"Mom, we're not thirsty. This is for you, please accept it as a token of my appreciation."

"Hey, why did you bring all these things?!"

Liu Zhaodi's voice suddenly rose eight octaves: "You said this sweet wine is good stuff, and it's in such a big jar. It would be great to save it for your in-laws to nourish their health. We old couple can't use it!" As she spoke, she looked around proudly.

Because Ranran's marriage was full of twists and turns, the neighbors had been gossiping a lot. Now her daughter had given birth to twins, and her son-in-law was promising. It hadn't been long since they had gotten married, and she was really proud of it!

The most important thing was that they were willing to send her even sweet wine. She couldn't help but be happy!

Is this a sweet wine thing?

No, this is her Liu Zhaodi's face! It is a symbol that her daughter Ranran married a good man!

"Mom, it's time to take care of your body."

As Lu Yunchen spoke, he walked into the yard carrying a glass of sweet wine.

After the gate was closed, Lu Yunchen took out a paper bag from his arms, which contained a piece of old bacon.

There's both meat and wine here, you have to be generous wherever you go!

Liu Zhaodi was so happy that she was beaming with joy. Even Huang Zhiye's face was flushed with joy, and he kept inviting his daughter and son-in-law to sit down.

"Ranran's mother, hurry up and cook this piece of meat so that your son-in-law and grandson can have a taste of it!"

"Hey, let me see how to make it more delicious!"

Liu Zhaodi smiled happily and invited Wenying to go to the kitchen together.

Wenying is very thin, which makes her belly look even bigger. Even simple movements like bending over and sitting down seem extremely difficult for her.

Huang Xinran was horrified and quickly offered to help: "Sister-in-law, let me do it. You take a rest first. Look at your belly. I'm afraid it will only last a few days, right?"

Wenying's belly has already entered the pelvis, and a "bump" has appeared on it. According to experience, this is a sign that the baby has entered the pelvis at full term and is about to be born.

"That's right. It should be these two days."

Wenying stroked her belly lovingly.

Liu Zhaodi was busy: "It should have been launched a long time ago, but there is no progress. I am very worried. By the way, how did you find time to come here? Has the Lu family's problem been resolved?"

They were not far away from the fire, so they naturally knew about it.

"We caught the suspect yesterday. We still have to wait for news from the police."

Huang Xinran gave a brief account of the situation.

"commit a sin!"

Liu Zhaodi was furious when she heard this: "Hasn't that damn girl surnamed Jiang always been talking about your sisters? This is a case of a dog that bites without barking! She looks so polite, but what she did is simply shameful. I tell you, you can never hang out with such a person again. She can instigate people to set fire today, and she will dare to kill people with a knife tomorrow. Don't think I'm talking nonsense!"

"And the bastard named Xiao! He hasn't learned anything after all these years. What's the use of being a worker and having a stable job? His roots are rotten, and he won't achieve anything in the future. It's a pity you didn't marry him. Otherwise, he would have ruined your life!"

"Oh, right! You just said he owes you money? Well, after you two got engaged, our family gave him a lot of money and things. How dare he default on his debt? Wait! I'll pay you back!"

Liu Zhaodi rolled up her sleeves, looking angry.

He seems eager to try.

"Mom, don't get excited!"

Huang Xinran hurriedly comforted her, "Your son-in-law has said that this matter should be left to him. I believe he can handle it well."

"That won't work! Yun Chen is thin-skinned, unlike that bastard surnamed Xiao. I'm afraid he won't be able to get away with it..." Liu Zhaodi thought for a moment and decided not to let her son-in-law down: "Forget it, let Yun Chen handle it first. If he doesn't handle it well, I'll step in."

Then she started to curse her husband again: "It's all because of Huang Zhiye's soft ears! He said that since we are relatives, just forget it! If it were me, the money should have been taken back long ago..."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and kept muttering to herself for a long time.

Huang Xinran and Wenying looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.

When the rice was out of the pot and Liu Zhaodi was about to cook the meat, Huang Xinran stopped her.

"Mom, how can we cook so much meat in one meal? Just eat half of it! My sister-in-law will give birth soon, and my nephew is still waiting for her milk."

"But this... there's not much meat..."

"Mom, let's make pot-stuffed pork. It will definitely be enough to eat!"

Huang Xinran's pot-wrapped pork is a local dish that is different from the traditional sweet and sour taste of pot-wrapped pork, but salty. The meat is not the traditional pork tenderloin, but fat meat.

Cut the fat meat into thin slices. Because it is bacon, soak it in water for a while, pick it up, coat it with sweet potato starch, put a little oil in the pan, and fry the fat meat slices slowly over low heat. When the starch layer on the surface of the meat slices turns golden brown, remove it from the pan.

To be honest, this dish is not very outstanding, but people nowadays are starving for food, so this pot-wrapped pork with starch and fat is really to the taste of the general public and is a very popular dish among adults and children alike.
