"Chunhong, I don't remember the jade pendant you mentioned. Maybe you remembered it wrongly and gave it to someone else?" Brother Miao frowned and looked at her in confusion.
Miao Chunhong was stunned and couldn't believe that even her brother said that.
"Brother! I gave you this jade pendant right in front of you all. How can you say you don't remember it? I only have one nephew, Dongzi. If I don't give it to him, who else can I give it to?"
Miao Chunhong was so angry that she almost cried. She finally realized that her elder brother and sister-in-law probably didn't want to give up the jade pendant and wanted to keep it for themselves!
But now the jade pendant concerns her two children, and even the future of her and Old Man Liang!
"Brother, please consider this as a plea from you. Ask Dongzi to return the jade pendant to me. I really need it urgently. If you don't give it to me, our whole family will be in trouble!"
Miao Chunhong was almost crying and begging Brother Miao.
Brother Miao was slightly stunned. He never thought that things would be so serious.
Just when he was about to say something, Sister Miao glared at him suddenly, and Brother Miao stopped talking instantly.
"Miao Chunhong, I've already told you that we don't have the jade pendant you want. If you keep saying this and that, don't blame me, your sister-in-law, for getting angry!"
"Sister-in-law, you can't do this! That thing is mine, give it back to me right now!" Miao Chunhong stopped begging them and angrily shouted, "If you don't give it to me, I won't leave today. I'll go to the brigade and make a scene. I'll go find the brigade leader and the branch secretary and ask them to judge the matter!"
If they can’t get the jade pendant back by then, none of them will have an easy life!
Anyway, those antique things can’t be left out in the open nowadays, or something bad will happen if you’re not careful!
When Mrs. Miao heard this, she knew she could not allow Miao Chunhong to act so wildly.
If she really revealed the matter of the jade pendant, not only would the jade pendant not be able to be sold for money, but their whole family might also suffer!
This sister-in-law is really not a good person!
Mrs. Miao was so angry that she picked up the broom in the corner and hit Miao Chunhong with it.
"Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I won't be polite!"
Although Miao Chunhong is a bully in her family, this time it concerns the future of her son and daughter, and the old couple may also suffer, so she gritted her teeth and refused to back down.
"I won't leave. If you don't return the jade pendant to me, I'll die here today!"
Mrs. Miao was so angry that she started beating her again. Miao Chunhong looked left and right, then picked up the carrying pole by the door and swung it at her.
The two men started fighting in the yard.
When Brother Miao saw this, he felt that it was neither right to help this one nor that one, so he had to tell them to stop fighting. Unfortunately, the two of them didn't listen at all.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the yard, accompanied by the sound of whistling, which showed how happy the visitor was.
The person who came was Dongzi. He went to the town to discuss with the man again. After raising a price, he decided to sell the jade pendant to him tomorrow.
If he could handle this matter, he would have a lot of money in his hands at once, so Dongzi came back with a brisk pace.
Who knew that as soon as he entered the house, he saw a man in the yard beating his mother with a carrying pole.
Dongzi glared at the man and kicked him from behind without even seeing his face.
"Which shameless old thing dares to come to my house and make a scene? I'll beat you to death!"
Miao Chunhong was caught off guard by that kick. She was knocked to the ground with her face up and her back facing the sky. After a scream, she lay on the ground without making a sound.
Dongzi was still snorting disdainfully.
"You dare to come to my house to cause trouble? Don't you even know who I am, Dongzi?"
He was just about to ask his mother if anything was wrong, but he saw both his mother and father were stunned, and then their faces changed drastically.
"Is this okay?"
"Why isn't she moving? Oh my god, is she dead?"
When Dongzi heard this, he felt a little panicked, but he thought it couldn't be so unlucky.
He was so scared that he quickly turned the person on the ground over. He saw that this person was not a stranger, but his aunt!
How could he have kicked his aunt unconscious?
At this moment, there was a cut on Miao Chunhong's forehead, and blood was oozing out!
"How could this be my aunt? Dad, Mom, why didn't you stop me just now?"
Dongzi was extremely anxious.
When Brother Miao saw the blood on Miao Chunhong's forehead, he almost fainted from fright, but he managed to calm down. He checked Miao Chunhong's nose and found that she was still breathing. He hurriedly said, "Don't say anything. Send her to the hospital first. Otherwise, it will be terrible if she really dies!"
Now the three of them didn't care about anything else. They quickly locked the door and went to borrow bicycles from the team leader and others, asking everyone to help send Miao Chunhong to the hospital.
On the Liang family's side.
The family didn't know that Miao Chunhong had been kicked to the hospital by her own nephew, and they were still waiting for her to come back.
Unfortunately, Miao Chunhong still hadn't returned until noon, so Liang Hongling had no choice but to go cook angrily.
Now the two families share a kitchen, but the firewood, food, and various tableware are all separate.
When Liang Hongling went in, she saw a bare stove and several bundles of firewood placed beside them.
As for food, it was only some sweet potatoes, cornmeal and the like taken from their house.
Liang Hongling started cooking reluctantly.
But before the meal was ready, someone came running in, shouting anxiously, "Liang Jinbu, Liang Hongling, something happened to your mother!"
Liang Hongling was stunned and hurried out to take a look, and saw an acquaintance from her mother's family.
Seeing Liang Hongling, the person who came to report the news did not delay and quickly explained the matter briefly.
"Your mother's head was broken and she's bleeding a lot. She's in the hospital now. Please find someone to go see her in the hospital right away. If you go too late, who knows..."
It's hard to say what the matter is. After all, he didn't go to the hospital with them. He just glanced at Miao Chunhong when he was called by the captain to deliver the message. The blood on his forehead was flowing, and half of his face was covered in blood!
When Liang Hongling heard this, she almost fainted from fright.
"My mother, how could something happen to my mother? Who did this? I want to report him to the police and have him arrested!"
The man said vaguely, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Anyway, you guys should go to the hospital to check the situation first. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
As for whether it was Dongzi who kicked him, he couldn't say for sure. After all, there were no outsiders in the Miao family's yard at the time, and they were not very clear about what had happened.
However, seeing how frightened Dongzi looked at the time, and hearing him ask his parents whether he would be arrested and put in jail, it is more likely that Dongzi took action.
I just don’t know why Miao Chunhong, who is so nice to her nephew Dongzi, would hit his own aunt?
The man shook his head and left, while Liang Hongling was so scared that she didn't care about anything and ran straight into the house.
"Dad, second brother! Something happened to Mom. She's been sent to the hospital!"
Old Man Liang was startled and quickly walked out to ask what was going on.
Liang Hongling repeated what the man said while crying, and old man Liang's eyes went dark.
What on earth is going on?
Isn’t the situation at home bad enough? How come even the old woman has problems!
No matter how anxious and panicked Old Man Liang was, he could only take the remaining money and bills, and then called Liang Jinbu and Liang Hongling to go to the hospital together.
As the three people left, Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan, who were eating in the house, also stopped.
The two looked at each other, both confused.
However, although they didn't understand what was going on, they didn't think about going to the hospital to see Miao Chunhong.
Liang Jinheng picked up a piece of food for Wen Wan and said, "Let's eat. They can handle their family affairs themselves."
Seeing that Liang Jinheng didn't mention going to see it, Wen Wan certainly wouldn't mention it either.
The whole family prepared things at home with peace of mind.
The Chinese New Year is less than two days away. The bacon, sausages and other things have been smoked, and most of the preparations for the New Year have been made, but there are still some small things missing.
For example, cleaning the house, frying fried fruits to make snacks, etc.
After lunch, Wen Wan asked Da Wa to take Dou Dou and Er Niu to play in Grandpa Dashan's house, while she began to prepare snacks. Liang Jinheng was asked to go to the mountain to collect firewood. It was generally not customary for them to go up the mountain to collect firewood during the New Year, so it was best to prepare the necessary firewood in advance.
By the time dinner was almost over in the afternoon, Liang Jinheng had already returned with several baskets of firewood.
Also because it was the New Year, everyone in the brigade turned a blind eye to the members going to the mountains to collect firewood. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, such firewood could not be collected at will.
Wen Wan also spent an entire afternoon frying fried fruits and making tofu with the aunt next door.
In the evening, she made several tofu-related dishes, such as braised tofu, tofu soup, and tofu steamed eggs. The three children couldn't stop eating.
Especially Doudou, he was fatter than Da Wa and Er Niu, and he ate more. In addition, he had played for so long in the afternoon, so he was very hungry now.
"Well, aunt, the food you cook is so delicious! I want to eat it in the future too!"
Wen Wan had been listening to "Aunt" for the entire afternoon, and even though she was not used to it at first, she had no reaction now.
Seeing Doudou eating so happily, even Erniu's appetite was affected by him. Wen Wan couldn't help but smile and scooped a spoonful of steamed egg for Doudou.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
When Doudou is not making a fuss, he is actually a very well-behaved child.
Doudou grinned at her, said "Thank you, auntie", and then buried his head and ate frantically.
He even thought to himself while eating that although his uncle was not nice to him, his aunt was a good person. If his mother and grandmother didn't come to pick him up, then it would be okay for him to stay with his aunt in the future.
And there are Erniu sister and Da Wa here to play with him, it’s just great!
Doudou then happily decided in his heart that he would live in his uncle's house from now on!
What he didn't know was that while he was happily eating here, the Mu family, thousands of miles away, was shrouded in sorrow.
In the living room of the Mu family, the Mu family members sat in silence, and no one spoke.
Mu Qingping's eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts, but she could no longer cry.
She had cried all the tears in her life in the past few days.
At this moment, she was like a puppet with her soul taken away, sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face.
Mulanzhi next to her also had a sad face, but she was still trying her best to hold on.
She was about to say something when the phone next to her suddenly rang.
Mulanzhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the phone.
She had already given up hope, but when she heard the news from the other end of the phone, her face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Okay, let's go now!"
