Chapter 14: Just My Little Guess

Su Rouer was startled, not knowing where she had said the wrong thing again. Just as she was feeling uneasy, she heard Mrs. Wei ask in a deep voice: "Mr. Third, I never told you what was lost on my windowsill. How do you know that this grass is what I lost?"

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng all looked over at the same time.

Yes, mother-in-law never told me what was lost!

Even when they asked what was lost and wanted to look for it together, the mother-in-law just frowned and didn't respond.

How did the third brother know that what the mother-in-law was looking for was a grass?

Su Rouer's mind went cold for a moment, but luckily she was quick-witted and said, "Ah!" "It was not this morning. I glanced at the window sill and saw it. It looked like a grass-like thing."

It seems to make sense to put it this way.

Mrs. Wei looked at Su Rouer with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

Su Rouer breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that given her mother-in-law's temper, if she really thought it was her, she would have scolded her by now.

Su Rouer didn't care about anything else. She quickly found an excuse and went back to the third room.

Bai Xiaofeng was looking at Su Rouer's back as she seemed to be fleeing in panic, as if thinking about something.

When they returned to their second room, Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile when she saw her two sons holding the teapot and pouring water to drink.

Both of her sons are so outstanding, and her mother-in-law has been more and more friendly to her in recent days. Occasionally, you can even hear her praise her - Bai Xiaofeng was very proud when she thought about it!

With this high-spirited feeling, Bai Xiaofeng felt that the burden on her shoulders seemed heavier. She was responsible for the honor and disgrace of the Yu family!

As a result, Bai Xiaofeng couldn't sit still anymore.

She couldn't help but ask her two sons, "Why didn't you bring Ju Ge'er with you when you went to pick wild vegetables?"

Liu Ge'er wiped his mouth and said, "Mom, we asked Ju Ge'er before we left. Ju Ge'er is young and still in a bad mood, so he didn't want to go with us."

"Is that so?" Bai Xiaofeng nodded. She felt that this matter had nothing to do with her two sons, so she made up her mind.

Bai Xiaofeng took some needlework from the sewing basket and used this as an excuse to go back to the main house.

In the main room, the old lady Wei was holding Xingxing in her arms and looking at the wound on her palm. She felt so distressed that she couldn't help but scold Luo's mother: "... She only knows how to spoil her child every day. She herself has bad behavior. She can even hurt such a young child!"

When Bai Xiaofeng pushed the door open and walked in, she heard this sentence. She paused and almost thought that Mrs. Wei already knew it!

Fortunately, Xing Xing spoke softly to comfort Grandma Wei: "Don't be angry, grandma, they also sent an old hen!"

Seeing the child being so sensible, Mrs. Wei felt very distressed and became even angrier with Luo's mother: "Let's keep things to ourselves! They brought that old hen to thank you for saving their lives. It has nothing to do with you being injured by Luo Qianniu's mother! I didn't know about this before, so I let that Luo go. Otherwise, I would definitely have to talk to him about it! What a bullshit!"

Xingxing was a little anxious.

She vaguely remembered that being angry was harmful to one's health. She didn't want her grandmother to be so angry, so she looked around anxiously, thinking of a solution, and suddenly she saw Bai Xiaofeng standing by the door.

Xingxing's round almond eyes suddenly lit up!

"Second auntie!"

Xing Xing pulled Grandma Wei's clothes and shook them: "Grandma, the second aunt is here!"

Because of Liu Ge'er and Gui Ge'er, Mrs. Wei really liked Bai Xiaofeng at this moment. She calmed down and said, "What's wrong? What are you doing here?"

Bai Xiaofeng came over with a big smile on her face and showed Mrs. Wei the needlework she was doing. "Mom, I did some needlework a few days ago. I thought there would be a market in the county in a couple of days. If you go to the market, can you take me with you?"

This is all a small matter. Mrs. Wei responded casually, and said, "Brother Liu is really thin. If the old hen doesn't lay eggs, we can kill it and give Brother Liu a chicken leg to nourish his body."

Bai Xiaofeng was flattered and agreed repeatedly, feeling very happy!

She also made up her mind and lowered her voice to say to Mrs. Wei: "Mom, come over here with me. I have something to ask. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong."

Mrs. Wei looked at Bai Xiaofeng suspiciously and muttered, "What are you talking about? You have to hide and talk about it."

She complained a little, but still stood up and told Xingxing to stay on the kang.

Xingxing was very well behaved and nodded happily. She just hoped that grandma wouldn't be angry.

Mrs. Wei and Bai Xiaofeng went outside. Mrs. Wei frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Bai Xiaofeng gave a weak smile and lowered her voice: "Mom, you know me. I'm not the type to gossip in front of you..."

Mrs. Wei did not expose the second daughter-in-law.

Yes, the second daughter-in-law did not gossip in front of her. That was because she did not buy into it at all and had rebuked the second daughter-in-law several times before.

But this second daughter-in-law says a lot of bad things outside!

However, the second daughter-in-law did not commit any serious mistakes, and Mrs. Wei was too lazy to be angry with Bai Xiaofeng because of this.

She raised her eyebrows, smiling, and motioned Bai Xiaofeng to continue.

Bai Xiaofeng felt embarrassed by her mother-in-law's half-smile, but she couldn't back down now that it had come to this.

Bai Xiaofeng gritted her teeth and continued, "...But the more I thought about it when I got home, the more I felt something was wrong. I thought that my mother had eaten more salt than I had eaten rice, so she must have seen more than me. So I thought of coming here to talk to my mother, so that she could listen..."

Bai Xiaofeng praised Mrs. Wei, but Mrs. Wei became a little impatient: "Why do you have to lay so many mats? If you have something to say, just say it directly!"

Bai Xiaofeng said with embarrassment: "It's about... the grass that Mom lost earlier. Although I don't know it, Mom values ​​it so much, so I know that this grass must be special, so I wanted to tell you about it."

When Mrs. Wei heard that it was about the Burning Heart Grass, her expression changed slightly: "Go ahead."

Bai Xiaofeng observed Mrs. Wei's expression and said cautiously, "...Mother, I just suddenly remembered that this morning, when I came back from outside, I saw Ju Geer standing in front of the chicken coop with his back to me. I didn't see him clearly, so I don't know what he was doing..."

Mrs. Wei's expression immediately changed: "Are you sure?"

Bai Xiaofeng immediately swore, "Mom, Ju Ge'er is a fat boy, how could I be wrong?... But I didn't think much about it at the time, and went back to the house to do my work. Just now, I saw that my third brother's wife was not quite right, and the grass was found in the chicken coop, so I remembered that incident!... And the more I think about it, the more it seems wrong, mom, Ju Ge'er never likes the smell of the chicken coop, and every time he passes by, he stays far away. Why would he take the initiative to stand in front of the chicken coop?"

Bai Xiaofeng saw that Mrs. Wei's face was getting uglier and uglier, so she hurriedly said, "...Of course, mother, this is just my little guess, it can't be accurate, it can't be accurate."
