Lao Yangtou could no longer sit still and stood up.
"Go call that Xiaojuan. This is not lawless anymore. The fourth child hasn't come back for three days and she doesn't even make a sound. Who gave her the courage!" Old Yangtou said angrily.
Mrs. Liu volunteered: "I'll drag her over!"
Then he ran away like a gust of wind. After a while, the sound of footsteps and Mr. Liu's cursing voice came from the yard.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu dragged Xiaojuan over, and Xiaojuan was still holding Goudan in her arms.
"Hmph, you hid it from me. How dare you hide it from Grandma He'er? Vixen, it's time for you to reveal yourself. Come in quickly!"
Mrs. Liu pushed Xiaojuan into the main room of Yang Huazhong's house.
Compared with Mrs. Liu's arrogant look, Xiaojuan's frightened and pale face looked much weaker.
Especially when she was holding a child in her arms and crying so hard, she gave people a sense of pity and helplessness like an orphan and a widow.
If it were the past, everyone would definitely think that Mrs. Liu was bullying Xiaojuan.
But recently, after everyone learned about the power of Xiaojuan's pillow blow to Yang Huaming, they all knew that this weak appearance was just a disguised weapon for this woman, but inside she was an inefficient lamp.
So no one stopped Liu at this moment.
After Xiaojuan entered the main room, she saw the room full of people, especially the dark-faced old Yangtou and Tan sitting at the head of the Eight Immortals table. Xiaojuan was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
"Xiaojuan brings the dog eggs to her father, mother, third brother, and fifth uncle. All relatives and friends here wish you a happy New Year. May you all have a happy New Year and good luck."
Xiaojuan hugged Goudan and bent down to bow to everyone.
No one said a word. On this occasion, the right to speak was naturally reserved for the heads of the family, Lao Yangtou and Tan.
On the host's side, Lao Yang asked Xiaojuan with a dark face: "Where did the fourth child go? Why didn't he come home for three days?"
Xiaojuan was startled for a moment, then stood there with her head lowered and remained silent.
"Dad, what are you asking? Are you deaf or mute?"
Mrs. Liu also stared and asked, her voice louder than Old Yang's.
The dog in Xiaojuan's arms snorted in fear.
On the host's side, Mrs. Tan spoke up, but she scolded Mrs. Liu: "Fourth daughter-in-law, please go aside. Don't scare me by making random noises. Let your father interrogate me carefully."
Mrs. Liu had an angry look on her face and muttered, "What a partiality!"
But he still stepped aside obediently, not daring to interrupt.
Here, Lao Yangtou continued to cross-examine Xiaojuan: "When the elders ask you, you don't say anything. What does this mean? What is your attitude?"
"The fourth child didn't tell you about our old Yang family's rules?"
Xiaojuan quickly shook her head and raised her head, with a look of panic and two lines of tears hanging on her face.
"Dad, I really don't know why the fourth brother hasn't come back for three days. I only know that when he left, he said he was going to see the Hu family..." she sobbed.
"You haven't been back for three days and you didn't come to tell us? Aren't you worried about the fourth child?" Lao Yangtou asked again.
Xiaojuan shook her head again, "No, no, no, of course I'm worried about fourth brother. Fourth brother is Goudan's father and my man. I rely on God."
"If he is gone..."
"Shut your mouth and stop talking nonsense during the Chinese New Year. The fortune teller said that the fourth child in my family will live a long life!" Mrs. Tan stopped Xiaojuan's words.
Xiaojuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, fourth brother will definitely live a long life."
"I mean, I worry about fourth brother more than anyone else. He is my God. But I don't dare to tell my parents here. I don't want my parents to worry because fourth brother said that during this time in our fourth room, A lot of things happened today, and everyone has to work hard."
"He went to the Hu family to ask for money. I didn't want to alarm everyone anymore, so that everyone could have a rest at home during the first month of the year. I didn't say anything..." Xiaojuan shrank her shoulders. road.
"Hmph, so according to you, you still have good intentions and think about us?" Old Yangtou asked with a sneer.
"If the fourth wife hadn't come here and said it, we would still have been kept in the dark." He continued.
"No," Xiaojuan quickly shook her head, "I'm thinking that if the fourth brother goes back and forth to Jishui Town, three days is not a long time. Maybe he will have to spend two days in Wanghai County."
"If I haven't come back by the Lantern Festival, then I won't dare to hide it from my parents and the big guys..."
"Bastard!" Old Yangtou was so angry that he slammed the tea bowl on the table and pointed at Xiaojuan:
"Lantern Festival? Are you planning to hide it from us for seven or eight days before telling us? Have you, a woman, eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"
"The fourth child went to Jishui Town alone to get money, two hundred and seventy taels of silver. Do you know if the Hu family will be cunning and pull some dirty tricks?"
"Even if the Hu family doesn't dare to be naughty, thieves and thieves along the way are hard to guard against!"
"Those people can kill people and set fires for ten taels of silver. Those who are on the run for two hundred and seventy taels. You, you, you, you stupid woman, you are so bold!"
The loud sound of the tea bowl was followed by Lao Yangtou's thunderous roar. Everyone in the hall was shocked. The dog in Xiaojuan's arms was so frightened that his mouth shrank and he was about to cry.
If it were any other mother, she would probably rush to comfort the toddler in her arms.
However, Xiaojuan's hand holding Goudan was hidden underneath and pinched Goudan. Goudan suddenly grinned and cried.
It was probably because the clothes were thick and it didn't hurt too much, so I cried and stopped immediately.
Xiaojuan used her fingers hard again and pinched Goudan again. Goudan finally cried out. Xiaojuan was still dissatisfied and wanted to use her strength again to make Goudan cry violently.
At this moment, a figure rushed up to her. Before she could see clearly who it was, the man's arms were picked up by that person.
But her own evil hand was pinched by the wrist and raised.
"Aunt Xiaojuan, you are so cruel. Others are coaxing their children, but you deliberately made them cry."
"Do you think that when the child starts crying, my father will not dare to interrogate you and send you back quickly for the sake of the child?"
Yang Ruoqing asked loudly, with contempt in her eyes.
Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard what Yang Ruoqing said, and even couldn't believe it.
But when they saw Xiaojuan's fingers that she couldn't take back in time, but still holding the gesture of pinching people, everyone was stunned.
"I didn't, I really didn't. Qing'er, you really saw it wrong. You wronged me. I am Goudan's biological mother. How could I let it go..."
Xiaojuan quickly defended, shaking her head like a rattle, and even wanted to break free from Yang Ruoqing's hand and hug Goudan.
Yang Ruoqing pushed Xiaojuan to the ground with her backhand, and then handed the dog egg to Yang Huamei beside her.
With one look, Yang Huamei understood instantly.
