Chapter 124 Catch the Thief

  Yu Xiaolian was looking at the door, and the old man Sun next door came over and asked Yu Xiaolian to take Xiao Huzi to his house for breakfast.

  This old man Sun is the current patriarch of the Sun family. In the past, everyone in the village called him Old Five Sun.

  Although his patriarch is not as powerful as the village head and village head, he still has a certain prestige and voice in Shanghewan Village.

  Yu Xiaolian changed her mind, immediately frowning, and learned what happened last night with old man Sun.

  Old man Sun heard the whole story, blew his beard and stared angrily, even his eyebrows trembled, "Your uncle is a terrible woman, she has a vicious heart.

   At the beginning, I didn't like the old Xu's house. I knew when I was young that the old Xu's head was rotten.

  You said the roots are bad, but how good can his seeds be?

   But your grandfather didn’t listen, what kind of thing did he marry and came back? "

  Yu Xiaolian echoed, "My grandma is such a good person, she has never bullied Mrs. Xu with her mother-in-law's money all these years, and even gave her the housekeeping rights, but she still hasn't been handed over to her."

  Old man Sun put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth at the gate of the courtyard, "Ms. Xu has a stone heart, why is it so hot?"

   Even his old sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and no one else can let Xu's go to where he is today.

   To put it bluntly, Xu was also used to it by his kind old sister-in-law.

  Daughter-in-law is a thing, you have to set rules as soon as you enter the door.

  As the saying goes, the son should take care of the young, and the daughter-in-law should take care of the early.

  In recent years, not only has his old wife-in-law not disciplined Mrs. Xu, but she has been under Mrs. Xu's management.

  The old grandson sighed, it's against Tiangang.

   I don’t know if the old cousin can survive this time?

  Old man Sun rushed home a few steps, "Good luck, good luck..."

  Sun Daji was waiting for his father to come back to have breakfast. After breakfast, he could go digging the fields, and wait for his father to come back. At this time, he heard his father calling him loudly, and immediately ran out, "Dad, what's the matter?"

  Old man Sun said, "Go and find out which road section Fengshou is serving in, and when you find someone, replace him.

  Your aunt may be in trouble. If your aunt doesn’t make it through, his son will have to come back in mourning, right? "

  Sun Daji is two years younger than Sun Fengshou, but the relationship between the two is not bad, and they often go fishing in the river together.

  Hearing that his aunt might be in trouble, Sun Daji didn't dare to delay, so he simply packed up a few clothes, took a handful of copper coins, and strode away.

  Old man Sun asked Yu Xiaolian and Xiao Huzi to go to his house for breakfast.

   Mandatory, not going.

  The kindness was hard to turn down, so Yu Xiaolian had no choice but to take the little tiger who had just woken up to the next door.

  Old man Sun's home cooked brown rice porridge in the morning, and Sun Daji's wife served a large bowl for Yu Xiaolian and Xiao Huzi.

  Yu Xiaolian didn't dare to dismiss this as coarse food, so she drank it as soon as she picked up the bowl.

  Last autumn, there was very little food, and it is estimated that every family saved food.

  Old man Sun’s family has no family division. There are four sons and three are married. The sons and daughter-in-laws fill up a large table when eating. This is still missing Sun Lao San and Sun Daji who left just now.

  Old man Sun has seven grandsons and granddaughters in total. At this time, these little carrot heads are squatting in a row at the door, drinking porridge with bowls in their hands.

   While drinking porridge, he secretly looked at Yu Xiaolian with his eyes.

  Little Huzi also held his own porridge bowl, and ran to the door to squat with those little carrot heads who were about his age.

  Yu Xiaolian: "..."

  Do the kids here squat to eat?

  There are many trees on the mountain. It is not difficult to build a wooden dining table. Why can't we build an extra table?

   How uncomfortable it is to eat while squatting!

  Although Yu Xiaolian felt that this big bowl of brown rice porridge was a bit too much, she still ate it all in order not to waste food.

  Seeing that Yu Xiaolian drank up the porridge, Sun Daji's daughter-in-law wanted to serve it again, but Yu Xiaolian declined.

  Old man Sun raised his head and drank a bowl of porridge, put the rice bowl away, and asked Sun Daji's wife to cook more at noon, and to bring out Yu Xiaolian and Xiao Huzi's share.

   Turned around and let his eldest grandson fill the warehouse, went to pick two salted fish hanging in the warehouse, and made extra vegetables at noon.

  When Mancang heard that he could eat salted fish at noon, he swallowed his saliva, and ran to the warehouse, for fear that his grandfather would regret not stewing fish.

   It can be seen that this salted fish is also a rare item in Lao Sun's house, and it is reserved for entertaining guests.

  Yu Xiaolian just wanted old man Sun to stop spending money, when he heard movement from the courtyard next door.

  Boss Xu threw the straw mat to the ground, "Go in and see if your mother-in-law is dying?"

  Xu didn't move, "Brother, I'm a little scared, you go..."

  My younger sister has never seen a dead person before, so it is normal to be afraid. Boss Xu didn't force her, and strode into the house.

  While walking, he called Huzi's name.

   I went into the room and looked around, but there was no one there. Boss Xu frowned, and when he came out, he told Mrs. Xu that there was no one in the room.

   Mrs. Xu didn't believe it, so she rushed into the house and saw that there was no one there.

  What about the dead old woman? What about her little boy?

  The old woman died when she died, and her son must not be lost.

  Ms. Xu panicked, stumbled and ran out, shouting Huzi's name while running.

  Little Huzi was originally squatting in the courtyard of the Sun family, playing with a few friends with stones, when he heard Mrs. Xu calling him, he froze for a moment, then stood up.

   It's just that the earthen wall between the two families is a bit high, and Xiao Huzi couldn't see his own courtyard. He didn't respond, and turned his eyes to Yu Xiaolian, as if wondering whether he should agree with Xu's words.

  Like the earthen walls between two neighbors in the countryside, they are generally not too high. The wall between their two families is as high as one person, and it is because of Old Man Sun.

  In the past, old man Sun used to step over the low wall and go to Sun Fengshou’s courtyard to hang out and chat. Sometimes he couldn’t understand Xu’s barking at his old sister-in-law, and he would jump over the wall to fight against injustice.

  Later, Mrs. Xu scolded the old grandson for meddling in other people's business, saying that the old grandson didn't want to drink because he was a drunkard, so he actually hit his old cousin's sister-in-law.

Mrs. Sun and Mr. Sun Wu are both dead wives. Mrs. Xu has bad intentions. If she publicizes it openly and secretly in the village, there will be more gossip in the village. , she found Fifth Master Sun and told him not to come to the house if he had nothing to do in the future, and he didn't need to take care of her family's affairs.

  Sun Wuye was so angry when he heard it, he kindly regarded it as the liver and lungs of a donkey.

  So, overnight, the three sons were made to live in mud, and the courtyard wall between their two families was built up, the higher the better.

  It can't be too low, he is afraid that when Mrs. Xu curses at others again, he is afraid that he can't help but climb over the wall again.

   That's it, the courtyard wall between the two houses is ridiculously high.

  From then on, the two old people met on the road, and in order to avoid suspicion, they didn't talk much. This is why the old Mrs. Sun has been ill for so many days, and the neighbors don't know about it.

  Yu Xiaolian took Xiaohuzi's hand and went back to the courtyard next door.

  Sun Wuye followed behind with his hands behind his back, and a group of his grandsons and granddaughters also followed behind.

  As soon as Yu Xiaolian entered the courtyard, Xu's eyes froze, and a guilty conscience appeared on his face, but it was fleeting.

  Xu smiled, "Ah, isn't this my eldest niece? Why did you come back? Where are your parents? You came back by yourself again?"

  Xu's affectionate and familiar look made Yu Xiaolian feel a chill.

   Through the open window, Yu Xiaolian saw Boss Xu rummaging through her grandma's boxes in the room.

  She ignored Mrs. Xu, and shouted at Sun Lao Wu, "Fifth Grandpa, there is a thief in the house, and he is stealing my grandma's things."

Because Mrs. Sun has been ill for several days, the house was not cleaned up, not to mention the strong smell of medicine, and there was an inexplicable smell in the house, so Yu Xiaolian opened the window to ventilate before going to the next door for breakfast. .

  Yu Xiaolian didn't say anything, Sun Lao Wu also saw it, and he also guessed that the person in the room was Shi's elder brother, Boss Xu, but he pretended not to know and was happy to cooperate with Yu Xiaolian.

  So, he shouted his son and daughter-in-law over at the top of his voice.

   Catch a thief.
