The quarrel between the couple became more and more embarrassing. Fortunately, their eldest brother's house had an east-facing courtyard of his own. Otherwise, it would have been another difficult lawsuit.
Xie Xiuran really didn't have such dirty thoughts.
Although Liu Ruolan is beautiful, she is his sister-in-law. Even if he is a bastard, he cannot covet his sister-in-law.
That's why Gao, who talks so openly, talks such nonsense!
Xie Xiuran sighed and said: "Okay, let's find another way to deal with this matter. I still mean the same thing. Even if you find someone to slander her reputation, you can't let people settle the matter. After all, what you are losing is I can’t ignore the Xie family’s face!”
Mrs. Gao looked disdainful: "Now you think of the Xie family's face? Then tell me, what should we do if we want to ruin her reputation but not let her sit down?"
Xie Xiuran looked like a bachelor: "You can do whatever you want. Anyway, you can't really let the foreign men succeed. At the most, you can just let them have some intimate actions. Or, you can just steal a personal item from your brothers and sisters." Is it done?”
Mrs. Gao rolled her eyes at him and said simply, then why don't you steal it?
Although they all live in Xie's house, Mr. Xie lives in a small courtyard by himself. Although there are not many houses, the family of six can still live in it.
As for the second and third bedrooms, they all live in the same courtyard, and the old man and his wife live in the main house. In this case, how can they steal things?
"It's not easy to start with. It's fine with my mother-in-law. After all, she is of the same mind as us, but if my father-in-law bumps into me, it will be terrible."
Xie Xiuran also sighed, of course he knew this.
And Xie Laosan is not someone to be trifled with.
If someone from the third family saw it, they wouldn't go towards the Changfang.
Therefore, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.
In this way, Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao lived happily for a few days without knowing it.
Grandma Xie called Liu Ruolan to her with a gloomy face and instructed her to go to the mountain to hunt pigweed.
Although the Xie family usually buys pork for food, they still have to kill their own pigs during the Chinese New Year, and they feed two pigs. In addition to feeding them some rice bran and leftovers for meals, they also need to kill pig grass. return.
These days, if a family can afford to raise a living creature with an open mouth, it must be a good family.
Liu Ruolan didn't dare to reply. After all, she had lived in her parents' house for a month. For Grandma Xie, it was like she had been blessed for a month.
Xie Rongzhao was bored at home alone, so he accompanied her up the mountain.
Xie Rongen was chopping firewood in the yard, and when he saw his mother and son going out together, it was a clear day, so he didn't think much about it.
Liu Ruolan was hunting pigweed, while Xie Rongzhao started searching nearby alone.
This is not a deep mountain. If you want to dig something good here, you don’t have to think about it.
Don't say there is none, even if there are really good things, they have already been robbed by the villagers.
It was already late when Liu Ruolan came out, and the old lady had given a number. The pigweed in the basket on her back had to be pressed firmly, so she couldn't be lazy.
It was getting later and later, and as the sun was setting in the west, people who were digging wild vegetables or hunting pigweed nearby also went home one after another. Xie Rongzhao also came over to urge his mother-in-law.
Liu Ruolan looked at the pigweed in the basket and then around, feeling a little anxious.
I still met Widow Wang. She kindly pointed to a place and said that the pigweed there was fatter and more abundant.
Liu Ruolan thanked her, took her daughter's hand and walked over there.
In fact, it went further into the mountains.
Xie Rongzhao saw that his mother-in-law could not go home for dinner if she could not complete the task, so he simply helped her. However, she was weak and the knife in her hand was not that sharp, so it was of little use.
"Auntie, let me go over there and take a look."
Liu Ruolan didn't even raise her head: "Go. Don't go too far."
There are basically no ferocious beasts here, so Liu Ruolan is relieved.
Xie Rongzhao actually thought there were good things there, so he wanted to go and have a look.
She couldn't explain why, she just felt like she wanted to get over it.
When she got to the place, she looked around and saw nothing was different.
However, she saw a touch of gray in the grass. Xie Rongzhao immediately squatted down, pushed aside the grass, and saw a gray money bag.
Xie Rongzhao had a look of surprise on his face and opened his mouth wide. Was he thinking that his luck was too good?
She picked up the purse, oh, it was still heavy.
After pouring out the contents, I saw three or four broken pieces of silver, a silver ingot, and about a dozen copper plates.
This person is too careless.
People usually keep silver coins and copper coins separately. Who would mix them together?
Xie Rongzhao looked at the money on the ground, then stood up and looked around, but found no one nearby.
So, who dropped this money bag?
Although Xie Rongzhao wanted money, it was obviously a money bag that had been left behind. She still didn't want to refuse it as her own, so she put everything away, then held the money bag in both hands and went to look for Aniang.
Liu Ruolan had just pressed the prepared pigweed into the basket, but it was still not enough for her mother-in-law's designated weight. She was worried when she saw Guobao coming over with something.
"What's this?"
"The money bag! I picked it up over there. Mom, what should I do now?"
Liu Ruolan took it and took a look. There was quite a lot of money inside.
Liu Ruolan's mind changed. No matter who lost the money, it wouldn't matter if the owner was a scholar or a villager in the village. If it was a very vicious person, the two of them would not be safe here.
Although she has a soft temper, she is not a fool, and she grew up in the countryside, so she naturally knows that some people are so bad that they have no bottom line at all.
But you can't do good things and yet suffer bad luck.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruolan started to worry about it.
"Then let's go down the mountain first, and my mother will help you put this thing away. The man who lost the money will definitely ask around, and then we will return it to the owner."
"good."
If she didn't kill enough pigweed, the worst she could do would be to go back and get scolded. She couldn't take the risk here with her daughter.
After walking down the mountain and walking a few feet away, Xie Rongzhao suddenly pointed in front and said: "Mom, I saw someone hurriedly went to the village chief's house. Do you think they are here to find this money bag?" "
Liu Ruolan thought it was really possible.
"Okay, let's go to the village chief's house and have a look."
The mother and daughter went to the village chief's house together, and met two grandmothers on the way. One of them was holding a bowl and coaxing her precious grandson to eat two more bites of rice.
The Xie family waited and saw Liu Ruolan and her daughter coming back, but Mrs. Gao felt relieved.
"Auntie, it's already dark today and they haven't come back yet. Why don't you let someone look for them?"
The corners of Xie Grandma's lips curled up slightly: "Well, we have to bring people to look for him, bring more people. Let the boss find a few capable men and go up the mountain to look for him together."
