Chapter 9
At the same time, in the old house of the Liu family.

Old man Liu brought a bowl of bitter tea with a few pieces of tea foam floating in it, sat on the threshold of the gate, and looked towards the east side of the village.

After a while, two figures, one big and one small, ran over from there.

"Sir, all the straw in our field has been stolen!" The boy shouted loudly and angrily before anyone came near.

Old man Liu opened his eyes narrowed by the bitterness of the bitter tea, "Stole it? Which wicked person stole it?"

"It was all stolen by Dalang and Erlang of the third oldest family. Some people saw them moving back and forth several times with their own eyes!" Liu Fei replied angrily.

Old man Liu narrowed his eyes again, oh, that's all right.

Panting, the uncle and nephew stopped at the door of their house. They looked up at Old Man Liu who was drinking bitter tea from two steps away.

Eight-year-old Liu Jinbao said anxiously: "Master, you promised to make me a new bed this year."

Liu Fei also said: "Dad, do you know what they said? Those who talk about you belong to their father, and what belongs to their father belongs to both of them. It is only natural to take things from your own family. This makes me mad. I will go and kill us right away. If you take back the straw from home, you are also my father, and it is only natural for me to take my own father's straw!"

"Yes, bring it back, I still need a new bed, the old straw is so damp, it's almost eaten by mice." Liu Jinbao also echoed.

The uncle and nephew rolled up their sleeves and were about to walk into the village.

Old Man Liu hurriedly swallowed the bitter tea in his mouth and shouted: "You two, stop for me!"

The uncle and nephew didn't stop until the old man Liu got angry and shouted again, and then they turned around with grievances and unhappiness on their faces.

"Your mother has prepared dinner. Let's go home for dinner first." Old Man Liu waved to the two of them to come back. He stood up and returned to the yard, as if he didn't intend to pursue the matter.

"Father!" Liu Fei finally couldn't help asking, "Did you leave it in the field on purpose for them to steal it?"

At first, he just suspected that the rice at home was taken home to dry after harvesting, fearing that it would be stolen by those handy people in the village.

But my father wanted to keep an acre of land, saying that he would be busy with the wheat in the field first, and he would not be afraid to harvest it later.

Now it seems that it was deliberately kept for the third child’s family to steal!

Looking at it again, the old man didn't refute, he felt guilty.

Liu Fei's heart was filled with anger, aggrieved and angry, he chased after old man Liu in two steps, and fired at his father!
"We don't have enough straw to make our bed. Rats have eaten all the straw under Jinbao's bed. It's going to be cold this day. How can we sleep in that bed? It's fine if you don't feel sorry for me. Jinbao is the eldest grandson of our family." , you, as a grandfather, don't feel sorry for him?"

With Liu Fei's mouth, he speaks as fast as a cannonball. He doesn't get stuck, and he can speak in one breath so that there is no chance for you to interrupt.

Old man Liu endured it and couldn't help it.

Turning around suddenly, he raised the bitter tea bowl in his hand and was about to throw it at him, "You brat, why did you talk to your father? !"

Not afraid of death, Liu Fei puffed out his chest and asked, "Father, why is your heart so biased? What's wrong with his youngest Liu!"

Old Man Liu's eyes suddenly bulged, "How is he good? There is nothing good about him. I wish I had never given birth to this evil son!"

At the end, he added: "And you, Liu Fei, are a bastard. If you talk back to me again, I will beat you to death for being an unfilial son who disobeys my elders!"

After that, he raised his tea bowl and was about to deal with Liu Fei. Fortunately, his family members gathered around and separated the two of them, so Liu Fei escaped.

Old Liu was sitting in the main room angrily. His step-wife Zhang, while winking at her youngest son and telling him to hurry into the house and stop being stubborn with his father, gave Old Man Liu a favor and sighed:
"I know you are worried about the third child, and the third child is really worried about provoking Lin Erbao."

"But luckily it's Lin Erbao. I've never heard of anyone who died because of debts owed to them. They were all sent to villages and mines to work as mortgages to pay off debts. This third child has been messing around for so many years, so he deserves to suffer a little. , maybe this temperament has changed?"

An ordinary stepmother would not dare to say such a thing, for fear that the old man would think that she was unkind and wanted to harm the children in the family.

But it has been 16 years since Mrs. Zhang came to the Liu family. Except for the eldest Liu Bai who was able to stand on his own at that time, the remaining Liu Zhong and Liu Ji were all brought up by her.

If he didn't really want Liu Jihao, he wouldn't be so determined to teach him a lesson.

Mrs. Zhang had already guessed about the straw in the field, and she just saw through it without saying anything.

It's going to be cold today. The third child's family only has a new daughter-in-law who just arrived and doesn't know anything. How can they get through this winter if we don't leave some straw for them?
But Mrs. Zhang was also very angry. Da Lang Erlang was taught by Liu Ji's father to be really unpleasant. He couldn't shout when he saw people, and he couldn't thank them for giving them things.

As for the straw in the field, the two brothers never thought of telling their father before taking it, so they decided to do it secretly.

Is it possible that his father can still watch them freeze to death?

There is also Qin Yao, a mother. It’s okay for a child to be ignorant, but she is so ignorant as an adult. The third child has been in trouble for two days and has not even come here.

"Isn't she really thinking that the third child will die outside and never come back?" Mrs. Zhang accidentally said what she was thinking.

Old man Liu was startled, and slowly looked at his wife, "Isn't it?"

Zhang's goosebumps were all over her body, and the day she first met Qin Yao appeared in front of her eyes. She looked weak and weak, and her eyes were timid. She shouldn't be cruel.

But... she came here as a refugee. It is not possible for a girl to walk from the northwest to the Central Plains.

After seeing too many dangers, what if this heart is also hardened?

Finished!

Old man Liu and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other with a bad feeling.

The two daughters-in-law cooked a meal and asked their parents-in-law to eat. They have been busy planting winter wheat these days, and the man in the family is physically exhausted, so the two daughters-in-law deliberately cooked more hearty meals.

Usually it's rice porridge with fine bran steamed buns, but today on top of that, there's also a big bowl of egg and loofah soup.

Liu Bai's son, Jin Bao, and Liu Zhong's five-year-old daughter, Jin Hua, held half a bowl of chicken soup, and they drank it so much that it was so fragrant.

The rest of the family is also very happy, and the bitterness of toil has faded a lot.

Only the old man Liu and Zhang's husband and wife, facing the delicious egg soup, had no appetite, and all they could think about was the new daughter-in-law Qin Yao from the third family's family, what the hell was she doing at this time.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Mrs. Zhang put down the bowl, and sent her eldest grandson, who had already finished the egg soup, "Jin Bao, go to your third aunt's house to see what they are doing, and come back and tell me."

Liu Jinbao responded with an oh, thought of straw before leaving, and looked at Liu Fei, "Uncle, should we go to Third Uncle's house to get straw?"

Liu Fei scooped up another half bowl of egg soup, and put the rice bran steamed bread in it. He took a mouthful of the soup and a mouthful of steamed corn bread, as if he was chewing on an enemy, and ignored him.

Liu Jinbao had no choice but to run to the innermost part of the village alone.
