"What kind of thief is this? What are you guys talking about?"
The wives of the soldiers standing outside all wanted to know. There were a few men standing outside, but when they heard about this, they went back to sleep.
Su Qingyao quickly replied:
"His sister-in-law steals food from the kitchen every night."
She just didn't believe that if the news got out, her brother would still be so shameless as to not leave?
Zhu Jinbu felt a little guilty. His wife cooked for him to eat together, but he didn't expect that he would be implicated. At this moment, he took a towel and went over to cover his wife's head.
Old Mrs. Zhu was also a little angry. She said, "You are such a short-sighted person. If you want to steal, just cook some white flour lumps and drink them. That thing can’t be detected."
The thin noodles will be cooked to pieces as soon as they are boiled. Isn't that asking for trouble?
Zhu Fendou is a person who cares about his reputation. In his mind, family disgrace should not be made public. What can he do?
That's his family. He hasn't visited them for several years. If word gets out that there's a thief and he's caught by the patrol team, it will affect his own future.
He immediately spoke out to stop her:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just hungry and eating a bowl of noodles, so why are you making a big deal out of it?"
Old Mrs. Zhu also came with a cane:
"I really made a fool of myself. I'm old and don't have much appetite at night. I suddenly felt hungry in the middle of the night, so I thought of asking the second son's wife to cook some noodles for me. It's my fault that I didn't tell the eldest son's wife, so there was a misunderstanding."
"But it's not to the extent of beating the second son's wife so hard that her head is broken."
No one quite believed what Old Lady Zhu said, but when they saw the blood on the rolling pin in Su Qingyao's hand, they felt that Su Qingyao was going a bit too far.
Busy persuasion:
"We are family and we should not have different opinions. We should sit down and have a good talk. We should not create a rift over a bowl of noodles."
