Seeing that this road was blocked, Shi Xiaoli was extremely disappointed. She turned around and ran out of the Shi family's gate sobbing.
It's too cruel. She can't stay in this family.
Outside the courtyard gate, Lv Huanying saw the dead girl running out crying. She didn't even bother to ask, but was attracted by Lu Fugui walking in the distance: "Fugui, where are you going?"
Lu Fugui stretched out his hand from his sleeve and waved: "Auntie, I'm coming to your house!"
As he was speaking, he happened to be passing by the place where the foundation was being dug. He greeted the villagers a few times and even called out to the current village party secretary loudly, "Big brother, you're busy!"
Not long after he finished speaking, he walked up to the old lady.
"Auntie, I'd like to invite Zhentang to my house for dinner today."
"Today? Any wine?"
Lu Huanying's eyes lit up.
This made Lu Fugui a little stunned. He was worried that the old lady would not let him go, but he asked such a question.
I quickly said, "Yes, Juanjuan asked the educated youth who went to the city to bring back a bottle of sorghum wine. You see, Zhentang rarely comes back all year round. Besides, you know that stubborn girl Juanjuan has liked him for many years. I thought Zhentang has a wife now, and I have to let Juanjuan give up. Why not invite him home for dinner, and let them talk it out, so that no one can get involved with each other in the future."
"That's great!" Lv Huanying narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Fugui, you have the broadest vision and the biggest heart in our village."
"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie!" Lu Fugui felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. He felt a little dizzy with the compliment.
Then the old lady said, "But as you said, Zhentang already has a wife. If he goes to your house alone to drink with you again, everyone in the village will know that Juan is interested in him. I'm afraid that when that happens...some gossip will spread. Of course, Zhentang, as a grown man, is not afraid of anything, but it will be bad for Juanjuan's reputation!"
"Why don't we ask the village party secretary to go along? Wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to drink together? Besides, the village party secretary knows all about the things that happened between the three young people."
The old lady looked as if she was thinking about her daughter.
Lu Fugui immediately agreed: "You are right, I will go and call the village party secretary."
After saying this, he wanted to go into the courtyard, but was stopped by Lu Huanying: "No need to go in, I'll tell Zhentang for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely go."
If Lu Fugui were asked to go in and talk, that guy would definitely not go.
But if the old lady goes in person, the chances of going are much greater.
Naturally, Lu Fugui couldn't force his way into the courtyard anymore, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell Juanjuan to prepare some wine and food. After work this afternoon, I'll let them go."
"Okay, don't worry."
The old lady watched Lu Fugui walk away before turning and entering the courtyard.
But a sad expression appeared on his face, and he deliberately moved closer to Shi Zhentang: "Zhentang, do you know who came just now?"
The prey had been almost processed, and Shi Zhentang was making a wooden frame to fix the rabbits one by one for smoking.
Without even looking up, he casually asked, "Who?"
"It's your Uncle Fugui. He's so worried about Juan'er right now. He asked you to go to his house for dinner this afternoon so he can talk things over with Juan'er..."
"No."
Sure enough, before the old lady finished speaking, Shi Zhentang refused outright.
Lü Huanying sighed. "Child, if you don't explain clearly, do you want her to come and bother you every day? Besides, even the village party secretary has gone there, so what are you afraid of?"
Shi Zhentang was speechless: "..."
What is there to be afraid of? Do the Lu family father and daughter still want to fight with him? He simply feels that Lu Juanjuan has become unreasonable and completely impossible to communicate with.
On the other hand, I really don't want the silly girl to be angry.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Lu Huanying said, "Then let's not worry about Juanjuan. Just for Fugui's sake, you should go and talk to them about you and Yuzhu. From now on, Lu Juanjuan won't be able to come to you again. Even if she wants to come, her father will stop her. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"Anyway, you have to go today. I won't agree if you don't go."
The old lady hadn't spoken to him in such a decisive tone for many years. Shi Zhentang looked up at her in confusion.
"Grandma, are you really going to let me go?"
"Hmm."
The old man seemed angry. Shi Zhentang smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll tell Yuzhu later."
It’s okay to go, but he won’t hide this from the silly girl.
Whether she understood or not, he would never lie to her.
Lu Huanying was at a loss for words. This guy had only been married for a few days and he was already dominated by his wife.
But as long as he agrees, it's fine.
So after lunch, Shi Zhentang told Tian Yuzhu about this matter.
"Yuzhu, do you understand? If you don't want me to go, I won't go." Shi Zhentang frowned slightly as he looked at the cold quilt inside and outside the kang. It was too difficult to wash things in winter.
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "Go ahead!"
So straightforward?
Shi Zhentang: “…”
Okay, then he'll go sit for a while and come back.
He still had to work on building the house in the afternoon, so he rested for more than half an hour and even helped the silly girl dry the quilt for a while. He then said, "Sister-in-law, actually, my quilt doesn't need to be washed. It's troublesome for you to dry it."
"It's no trouble, not at all." Su Zhen and the old lady looked at each other, they were very happy.
After Shi Zhentang went to take care of the house, the old lady quietly called Su Zhen to her side and said, "Go ask Uncle Tao for some knockout drugs."
Su Zhen was surprised: "Huh?"
"Go ahead, just tell him what I want and he'll definitely give it to me."
"Okay, I'll be back soon." Su Zhen quickly put down the bed sheet in her hand. She didn't know why her grandma wanted the knockout drug, but it must be related to what happened tonight.
Tian Yuzhu, who was drying the quilt and playing with the two little ones, didn't hear what they were talking about at all.
She just felt that her grandmother and sister-in-law were a little strange today, always looking mysterious.
The eldest sister-in-law went out for a while and came back, and secretly gave something to the old lady. She saw all of this...
Although I saw it, it was a bit difficult to figure out what it was.
The old lady was wearing three layers of clothes, and she carefully put them in the innermost bag. It was a bit difficult to "take them out" for a look.
But she didn't intend to do so. She chose to believe that they had their own reasons.
Then until dinner time in the afternoon, the whole family sat at a small table to eat.
After Tian Yuzhu took a sip of the bowl of coarse grain porridge, she knew what was going on!
Damn it, it’s a knockout drug!
Being able to identify a hundred poisons is just one of Tian Yuzhu's offensive skills, not to mention a mere knockout drug.
But uh...it's all her fault for trusting grandma and sister-in-law too much.
Before she could even taste it, she had already taken a big gulp... and then...
