Chapter 12
"My God! Fanghua, did your mother-in-law divide your things?" Aunt Zhang looked at the two bowls and chopsticks and a plate in the kitchen with an incredulous expression.

I thought, Zheng Fengying is too stingy, right?
"Aunt Zhang drinks water." There was no cup at home, so Yun Fanghua took a bowl and poured water for her.

Aunt Zhang was not polite, she drank the water while looking at the empty kitchen.In addition to two sets of bowls and chopsticks and a plate, there is only a broken iron pot and a broken water tank.

The iron pots and water tanks were left over from previous use, and the cabinets were also empty. There was no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at all.

Although in the mouth of the villagers, she is not a good mother-in-law.But when her daughter-in-law separated, she was not so harsh.Even if it is a rotten bowl, give a few more.

Just these two bowls and one plate, a guest doesn't even have any bowls and chopsticks to eat.

Speaking of which, the conditions of the Sheng family are pretty good. Although they built a new house, their second child is serving in the army, and Sheng Guoan is working on the highway section. The combined wages of the father and son are quite a lot.

Not to mention buying a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks, it is not a problem to buy more than a dozen or dozens of sets.Of course, the peasant family is used to frugality, but the Sheng family must have extra tableware, which she has seen with her own eyes.

There are obviously many, but this Zheng Fengying only pays per head, which is simply too much.

No, she has to go talk to the old sisters and let everyone know that Zheng Fengying is a bad mother-in-law.

After drinking the water, Aunt Zhang didn't stay any longer, waved at Yun Fanghua and left.

Looking at the back of Aunt Zhang leaving, Yun Fanghua's eyes flickered.She didn't say a word. As for what Aunt Zhang would think, that was out of her control.

But based on what she knew about Aunt Zhang, she would definitely spread the word about it.At that time, her cheap mother-in-law will probably be very angry again.

Yun Fanghua quickly looked away, turned around and went into the kitchen again to prepare lunch.

The family divided two hundred catties of grain, but it was not rice, but rice.There must be no more rice for lunch, but when we separated, she saw taro, so she took a few.

This taro does not need to be cooked, just put it on the fire and roast it.The roasted taro is still fragrant and tastes more exciting.

Yun Fanghua added some water to the pot, intending to boil some water for drinking.Then she stuffed the taro into the stove and covered it with ashes, so as not to burn it in a while.

When the water boils, the taro will be ready.Yun Fanghua pulled the taro out of the ashes and let it cool aside, then turned and went back to the room.

Sheng Beicheng was not at home, so he went to borrow a pole. After dinner, he had to take the rice to the brigade to grind it into rice.

When Sheng Beicheng came back, the husband and wife ate a few yams, and then got busy again.

Sheng Beicheng went to mill the rice, while Yun Fanghua took the dirty clothes to the river to wash.

This meeting has just eaten, and there are quite a lot of people doing laundry.When Yun Fanghua arrived, there were already seven or eight women squatting by the river.

While washing clothes, they gossip about the village.Before she got to the place, she knew that what they were talking about was the gossip of Lao Sheng's family.

But seeing her coming, everyone immediately shut their mouths.

But when Yun Fanghua squatted down to wash clothes, everyone couldn't help talking again.Someone asked Yun Fanghua directly, "Fanghua, I heard that your mother-in-law separated you?"

"Ok!"

"What's the matter, you just got married, why did she separate you? Couldn't it be you and your mother-in-law who quarreled?"

Yun Fanghua glanced at the questioner, but did not speak.She also knew this person, called Mrs. Lin, who once wanted to introduce her sister to Sheng Beicheng, but failed in the end because Sheng Beicheng didn't like it.

Because of this, Mrs. Lin has a lot of opinions on her. She often runs on her without telling her, and also likes to make trouble secretly.In her previous life, she didn't know about the lawsuit, but suffered a lot.

Now, she will not be fooled by the other party, lest there will be some bad things about her.

Seeing that Yun Fanghua was silent, Sister Lin was a little bored, and turned around to talk to others about other things.

Listening to them talking about the parents of the east and the short of the west, Yun Fanghua felt very boring.After a few washes, she got up and left.

No, as soon as she got home, she found the courtyard door was open.At first, she thought it was Sheng Beicheng who had returned from milling rice, but then she thought it was wrong.

Because the river is next to the road, Sheng Beicheng must walk on the road when he comes back from rice milling, and she will definitely see it.But when she was doing laundry, she never saw Sheng Beicheng come back.

But if it wasn't for Sheng Beicheng, would there still be people in this yard?
Could it be that a thief entered?

Thinking of this, Yun Fanghua picked up a wooden stick as thick as an arm from the side of the road and held it in his hand before entering the house.

As soon as I entered, I found that not only the courtyard door was unlocked, but the door of the room was also open.Not only that, but she could hear movement in the house.

To say not to be afraid would be a lie.

Right now, she is the only one.If she really met a thief, she would not be able to call anyone even if she shouted.It is close to the foot of the mountain, a bit far from the place where the villagers gather and live, half a mile away from their nearest neighbors.

Because of fear, Yun Fanghua's heart was beating violently, and she was covered in cold sweat.

She gently put down the bucket of clothes, then turned around and went into the kitchen, taking in her hand the hatchet she had borrowed to cut bamboo this morning and hadn't returned yet.

Holding a wooden stick in one hand and a hatchet in the other, Yun Fanghua became more courageous, and then quietly approached the door, preparing to lock the door before looking for someone to catch the thief.

The people in the room were rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things, and they were talking to themselves from time to time.

The voice was a little low, and Yun Fanghua couldn't hear what the other party was saying.However, she always felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if it was someone she knew.

But who could it be?
She actually ran to the house to steal things while she and Sheng Beicheng were not at home. Could it be that the other party didn't know that they were separated and left the house without leaving the house?
wait, no!
In addition to the belongings of the family, there is also her dowry in the house!

Yes, the other party must have come for her dowry.

Thinking of this, Yun Fanghua's expression turned ugly.There are many brothers and sisters in her family, but there is a big boar in the family, which is specially used to breed sows in the nearby villages. The income is not bad, and the life is decent.When she got married, the dowry was still passable, and there was only 100 yuan in the bottom of the box.

Therefore, the thief was looking for the money that she kept at the bottom of the box.

No, that money is the capital of her business, and it cannot be stolen.At this time, Yun Fanghua didn't care about being afraid anymore, and entered the house with a wooden stick and hatchet, and headed for the bedroom where the noise came.

Hearing the movement, the thief in the house was startled, and hurried out, just bumping into Yun Fanghua who was entering the door.

It was her!
