Chapter 182: I'm going to pick pig grass
Qian Yuemei's noise not only woke up everyone in the Su family, but even the neighbors were woken up.
"Brother Su, what's going on?" someone shouted from next door.
"It's okay, he's just a petty thief and he's already run away." Old man Su answered loudly.
"Thief?" The man's tone was full of surprise. "Who is so blind as to dare to target your family? Isn't this just a daydream? Isn't he afraid that the sky will strike him with thunder?"
Old Man Su, “…”
How should he respond to this?
"Who?! Who is there! Come out!" Old man Su suddenly looked towards the pile of firewood and shouted sternly.
When Mrs. Su heard this, she ran to the wall where the hoe was placed and picked up one.
"Who is it?! Come out quickly! Otherwise I will break your legs!" Mrs. Su said hatefully.
He dared to come to their house to steal things. Was he thinking that they were easy to bully?
A weak voice came from behind the pile of firewood.
"Dad, sister-in-law, it's...it's me."
"Third sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Su put down the hoe in surprise.
Following a rustling sound, a dark shadow emerged from behind the pile of firewood.
"Sister-in-law, it's me." Zhang Maiya's voice trembled slightly.
"Third sister-in-law, why are you hiding behind the pile of firewood?" Mrs. Su asked in confusion.
"I, I went out to the toilet, but I heard some noise nearby. I got scared and hid. Unexpectedly, my second sister-in-law also came, and I ran into a thief..." Zhang Maiya said stutteringly.
"Why didn't you shout when you heard the noise? What if a thief gets in and steals your things? Don't you feel bad?"
Before Zhang Maiya could finish his words, Qian Yuemei's dissatisfied voice came from the toilet.
"No, sister-in-law, I... I was just scared and didn't think too much about it." Zhang Maiya explained hurriedly.
"Hmph! Why didn't you come out just now? Why did you keep hiding?" Qian Yuemei squatted in the toilet and continued to ask.
"I didn't mean it. I, I was just afraid that you would laugh at me for being timid..." There was a hint of tears in Zhang Maiya's voice.
"I think you are very brave! Hiding behind the pile of firewood, people who don't know you would think you are a thief." Qian Yuemei's voice was high-pitched, full of disdain.
"Second brother, stop talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Su shouted suddenly.
"Mom, I..."
"Shut up!"
Qian Yuemei, “…”
He closed his mouth in dissatisfaction, but felt uncomfortable in his stomach.
Then, several strange noises were heard.
Old Mrs. Su was very upset and quickly stepped back, staying away from the toilet.
The next day, the Su family got up early.
Some of them have dark circles under their eyes.
Such as the old couple of the Su family, such as Su Dasao and Zhang Maiya.
Speaking of which, among the adults, the one who slept the best was Qian Yuemei.
Old Man Su called an emergency family meeting.
"No one can reveal the fact that there is a lot of money in the family!" Old Man Su said seriously, "Even less so can anyone reveal the matter of ginseng!"
"Dad, don't worry! Only a fool would reveal it to others. No one would come and steal it!" Qian Yuemei said.
After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Maiya.
"Isn't that right, Third Sister-in-law?"
Even though she lived close to her parents' home and went back every now and then, she never told her family that her aunt had dug so much ginseng.
Besides, even if she told it, her mother would definitely know the seriousness of the matter and would not reveal it.
However, it is hard to say about the Zhang family.
Who knows, he might even get jealous and steal from your own home.
"Yes." Zhang Maiya said in a low voice with lowered eyebrows.
He didn't even raise his head, looking submissive.
Xiao Tangbao glanced at Zhang Maiya, then asked Old Lady Su, "Mom, was there a thief in the house last night?"
It was her fault that she was so young that she wasn't woken up.
"It's okay." Old Mrs. Su touched her daughter's head, fearing that she would be frightened. "When your eldest brother comes back, I won't let him work in the gold mine anymore."
After what happened last night, Old Mrs. Su realized that there were too many women and too few men in the family.
Although Xiaoliu is considered a grown-up boy, he is still young after all, and he didn't wake up despite the loud noise last night.
Moreover, the second son's wife was pregnant, and the eldest son's wife was unable to do heavy work. The family also had to build a new house, buy a house and a shop, and take care of the crops, so they were really too busy.
She had discussed it with the old man last night and decided to let the eldest son take charge of the family business from now on.
"Yeah, we won't let Big Brother go to the mine." Little Tangbao particularly agreed with this.
It goes without saying that digging for gold must be extremely tiring.
She was reluctant to let her elder brother go.
I just saw that my brother really wanted to go, so I didn't stop him.
Xiao Tangbao thought that since his elder brother wanted to make money, he should find a way for him to make money.
After hearing what her mother-in-law and sister-in-law said, Mrs. Su certainly would not object.
Although she also wanted the man to make money, after what happened last night, she also felt that she should let the man come back.
After all, there is so much silver at home now that thieves won’t want to target it.
What's more, Doctor Wang's words also affected her.
Although Mrs. Su did not show it, she was suppressing her emotions in her heart, fearing that she had contracted a fatal disease.
At this time, of course she wanted a man to be with her.
Because of this, she didn't sleep much last night.
When I woke up this morning, I felt dizzy and chest tightness, and my heart became more and more uneasy.
Old Madam Su looked at Zhang Maiya and said, "Old Third, if there's anything going on with your parents' family, you can go back and stay for a while. You can come back anytime. If you don't want to come back, that's fine too."
Zhang Maiya suddenly raised her head and said in panic, "Mom, did I do something wrong? Please tell me, I will change! I beg you not to kick me out!"
Zhang Maiya said this while his body seemed to be shaky.
Mrs. Su quickly helped her up and said, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry. That's not what mother meant."
Zhang Maiya still looked at Old Mrs. Su nervously.
Old Mrs. Su frowned, and an obscure light flashed in her eyes.
Then, he said: "Old Third, you are still young. It may not be a bad thing to take another step after returning to your mother's home."
"Mom..." Zhang Maiya shook his head repeatedly and looked at Old Lady Su with a pleading look.
Old Mrs. Su sighed and said, "You make your own decision on this matter."
After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Su and warned her, "Your father and I are going to the county town. You stay at home and take care of the house. Don't work in the fields or go up the mountain to collect grass for the pigs."
"I understand, mother." said Mrs. Su.
Her parents-in-law are not at home, so even if she wants to go out to work, she can't go out.
After all, there is so much money at home.
"Mom, don't worry! I will definitely not go anywhere. I will definitely take good care of our house. No one can come to our house to steal things!" Qian Yuemei said loudly without any need for Mrs. Su to remind her.
Old Mrs. Su nodded.
"My daughter, do you want to go to the county town with daddy?" Old man Su looked at Xiao Tangbao.
Xiao Tangbao thought about it and shook his head.
"Dad, I'm going to pick grass for the pigs!" Little Tangbao said seriously.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law at home are unable to work, but there are so many poultry, pigs and sheep waiting to be fed in the backyard. It is her time to shine.
