idle mistress

Chapter 54
"No, isn't it just on the ground?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "I've searched all over, but it's not there..."

The two of them searched the whole earth house, but they didn't find the pair of cloth shoes. They disappeared, and so did the shoes.

Xu Weiqiu already had the answer in his heart.

Dead old woman, she can leave as soon as she wants, why she sneaks around and doesn't know how to make a sound, which makes people worry for nothing.

For the old woman's leaving without saying goodbye, Xu Weiqiu just fed the dog as his sincerity.

After Shanniu woke up, she didn't seem to remember anything, and she never asked the old lady where she was going, what to eat, what to sleep.

Fortunately, the man who claimed to be her husband did not bother her again, and her epilepsy never occurred again.

Xu Weiqiu saw that she often wandered outside by herself, picking flowers and butterflies, so she didn't have to worry about living, and her life was very chic.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's really stupid people have stupid blessings.

At the beginning, she was still worried about whether the fat woman really left by herself, or if something happened to her. Occasionally, when she passed some hidden places, she would boldly go over and check.

Once, when she heard that an unknown corpse had been fished up from the river in a neighboring village, she hurried over to find out what happened. Later, after investigation, it was a lonely old man in the village who slipped and fell into the river and drowned.

In the days when the fat woman was away, nothing changed except that there was one less quarrelsome person on weekdays. Xu Weiqiu lived a fulfilling life. some surplus.

She can't suffer from anything, and with more money on hand, she also began to improve her life slowly. She bought some handy pots and pans in the earthen house, and bought some new clothes for Er Niang and Shan Niu. , Occasionally buy a few taels of meat to improve food.

She also learned a little mortise and tenon technique from an old carpenter, bought a few pieces of wood from the market, and used the little fur she just learned to set up in the yard without any nails or awls. a swing.

The swing is strong and easy to use. It is very pleasant to sit on it, read a book, and admire the bamboo fence full of flowers.

But most of the time, this swing is the property of Shan Niu.

She probably has never seen this kind of thing before, and she is simply fascinated. As long as it is not windy or rainy, she can be seen sitting on it and swinging around, laughing excitedly while swinging high.

On this day, Xu Xiaoke went to the earthen house to look for Mrs. Zhang. Seeing the swing in the yard, she sat on it curiously. Shan Niu saw her and drove her off.

Xu Xiaoke yelled at Shan Niu angrily: "I knew it was you, an idiot, who sat on it, so please don't go up."

She couldn't find Mrs. Zhang when she entered the house, and smelled a scent coming from the stove, so she couldn't hold back her curiosity and sneaked into the stove.

The firewood in the stove was burning vigorously, and the pot was steaming. She opened the lid of the pot and saw that there was a lot of pork belly stewed in it. I don't know what spices were added, and the aroma was overflowing.

Whoever smells the taste is not slanderous, Xu Xiaoke couldn't help picking up a big piece with a spoon, and ate it voraciously, the meat was fat but not greasy, and it was not enough to eat a piece , and ate a few more pieces.

She wiped her mouth and walked out of the kitchen, seeing Shan Niu swinging Qiu high, she kept giggling, walked over and asked tentatively: "Hey, idiot, do you want to eat the pork Xu Weiqiu stewed in the kitchen too? "

From her point of view, Xu Weiqiu was willing to take in this idiot, so he saw that she could help with the work?It is designated to be used as a coarse envoy girl, and it is not bad to be rewarded with a bite of coarse grain.

Shan Niu nodded honestly: "I often eat." Slowly stopped the swing.

Xu Xiaoke looked at the silly woman in front of her, and realized that the clothes on her body were also very new and clean, and the materials were also good, and the order was not cheap: "Your clothes are also bought by Xu Weiqiu for you?"

"Well, I still have two of this style." Shan Niu proudly showed her her new clothes.

Xu Xiaoke stopped talking, knowing that her brother's wages are all in the hands of her sister-in-law, and that Hongyan is an iron cock, who doesn't move a dime, and the whole family's flamboyance is all pointed at her father's meager monthly money , very tight, the family can't eat meat a few times a month, adding new clothes is simply a dream.

It never occurred to Xu Xiaoke that a silly woman whom she had always looked down upon had better food and clothing than herself.

She blushed.

It seems that the girl's movies can really make money, no wonder Erniang ran here recently when she has nothing to do, she secretly came here to eat meat without telling her family.

She was very unbalanced in her heart. Seeing the foolishness, she turned around and ran into the house and began to rummage through the boxes...

When eating, Xu Weiqiu saw that the meat was much less and didn't think much about it. He thought it was Shan Niu's mouth that ate some, until she found that the jar containing the money had been tampered with, and when she opened it, there was no copper plate in it. up.

After questioning, I learned from Shan Niu that Xu Xiaoke had been here.

When she lived in Xu's house, Xu Xiaoke kept moving her things a lot. She was already a habitual offender in Xu Weiqiu's heart.

Without further ado, Xu Weiqiu went to Xu's house to find someone to settle the score.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she would cause trouble and force her not to let her go: "Wei Qiu, forget it, she is also your sister after all, and it is detrimental to people's reputation to hear such things."

"She has sneaked in, and I still have to care about her reputation?" Xu Weiqiu felt that Er Niang's thoughts were too incredible.

"We're all a family. If you come to our door and let the neighbors see it, they will laugh at us."

Zhang Shi was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and forced her not to let her go out.

"Second Niang..."

The arm couldn't twist the thigh, and in the end, Xu Weiqiu chose to calm down.

However, some people took her forbearance as a bully. After Xu Xiaoke had eaten the sweetness, she would often go to the mud house to rummage through the box when she was not at home. No matter where Xu Weiqiu hid the money, she could find it.

Shan Niu doesn't know how to open the lock. In order to let her go home at any time, Xu Weiqiu can't lock the door. Xu Xiaoke has figured this out, and her sneaky things are more blatant.

There was really no other way, so Xu Weiqiu hid the money in a broken jar outside the courtyard gate. After thinking about it, she caught some crabs from the ground and kept them in the earthen jar that had been holding the money before. She wanted to teach this habitual thief a lesson. .

When she came back from the stall, the crock was smashed to the ground, and the crabs inside were gone.

Xu Weiqiu couldn't help covering his mouth and sniggering, and when Zhang saw her, he asked her if the money had been stolen again.

She shook: "No, the money is fine."

Xu Xiaoke didn't feel relieved after suffering a secret loss, and then came several times, but she never thought that Xu Weiqiu would dare to put money in the broken vat outside the door, and went back and forth several times without gaining anything. That's how it stopped.
