Chapter 111 Countermeasures
Fortunately, the couple also has a younger son. If they only rely on this eldest son, they may not be able to drink from the northwest wind when they grow old.
The village chief's family suppressed Zhao Chuanliang and stopped thinking about it, thinking that he should have gone back to town.
But Zhao Chuanliang, who was supposed to go back to town, did not go back to town. Instead, he turned around and went to Ji's house.
He had gone to his home to get those things before and wanted to honor the two elders. He just wanted to see if he could get money from his own home, so that he would not have to go to Ji's house to find a solution.
But if his two old men treat him like that, don't blame him...
He stood at the gate of the Ji family with a heavy look in his eyes, thinking about the Ji family's valuable wine recipe, and his heart became very hot.
He was standing at the door, thinking about what kind of excuse he should give to go in, when he happened to see Mrs. Ji coming out to throw something away. When she saw him, she immediately greeted him warmly:
"Chuan Liang, why are you here? What are you doing standing outside? Come in quickly."
Mrs. Ji pulled Zhao Chuanliang in with great enthusiasm and even called some of her grandchildren to call for help.
Ji Miaomiao was held by Ye Qiuyun. Seeing Zhao Chuanliang coming, Ye Qiuyun also greeted him warmly. After all, her son still relied on him.
Ji Miaomiao looked at Zhao Chuanliang warily.
Her intuition told her that there must be nothing good going on with the other party this time.
Facts proved that her guess was correct, Zhao Chuanliang looked embarrassed after he came in.
Mrs. Ji didn't think too much and asked him if something had happened.
Zhao Chuanliang looked around and saw the Ji family members showing concern for him, and pretended to sigh:
"I had a conflict with my mother. It's already late and the oxcart has gone back to the city. I have no choice but to shamelessly come to my eldest mother's house to beg for the night, even sleeping on the floor."
Mrs. Ji paused and originally wanted to ask what happened, but after thinking about it, she still felt it was inappropriate.
When I heard him say that he was willing to sleep on the floor, I immediately objected: "How can I sleep on the floor? Let the third daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law take their children to the same room, and you can sleep in the same room as the second and third daughter-in-law."
Zhao Chuanliang naturally looked grateful and said politely, so Zhao Chuanliang finally made up his mind.
Ji Miaomiao felt something was even more wrong.
Why do you want to come and stay at your own house if you are so good?
If it weren't for the fact that his brother wanted to study, he would not be familiar with his family at all.
It's only been a few days now? He's about to come to stay. That is to say, Mrs. Ji didn't think much about it and respected his status as a scholar.
But he clearly has bad intentions. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house?
Seeing that everyone had no objections and looked proud, Ji Miaomiao knew that the matter had to be settled.
She thought that night was when Zhao Chuanliang was ready to do bad things. Then she would have to make a lot of noise so that the entire family would not be quiet, so that there wouldn't be any big trouble.
As a result, the family arranged their house. Since the kang in the west wing was slightly wider, Sister-in-law Ji brought her children to live there, and the three grown men lived in their east wing.
Ye Qiuyun was busy giving Ji Miaomiao a bath, and Ji Shiliang also helped wisely. Ji Ersao, who already liked Ji Shiliang, smiled even more when she saw this:
"Our family, Shiliang, is serious about reading and writing. Now he also knows how to help his mother with the housework. He is a sensible child at first glance. Third brother and sister, you will be blessed in the future."
"Second sister-in-law is so impressed!" Ye Qiuyun said with a helpless smile: "He is still young and sensible now. When he grows up, I don't know if he will help me with housework."
Ji Er's sister-in-law made a haha, without making any comments, and looked at the fleshy and pink-carved Ji Miaomiao. She really liked her and said with a smile:
"Our Miaomiao is also a caring person! I have never heard her cry. This child is much easier to take care of, unlike the two brats in our family who often cried all night long when they were young. They don't know how to care for others."
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Ji looked at her two sons.
There was nothing wrong with what she said, so Ye Qiuyun did not refute.
On the contrary, it was Ji Miaomiao who was embarrassed.
I want to say, Second Auntie, I didn’t cry before, but I’m going to make a big fuss tonight, and then you’ll have to take back those comments you made about me.
Having made up this determination, after finishing packing several small beds, Ji Miaomiao pulled her into Ye Qiuyun's arms.
Ye Qiuyun didn't know that his daughter was about to make a fuss, but he felt very grateful for her dependence on her. He held her in his arms and kissed her lovingly twice.
Then he blew on the kerosene lamp and prepared to sleep.
This kerosene lamp burns kerosene very fiercely. One tael of kerosene costs fifteen cents! It is also a huge expense for ordinary people, who have always been economical.
Ji Miaomiao guessed that Zhao Chuanliang must do bad things in the dead of night, otherwise the two brothers sleeping there would not be vegetarians.
So she didn't make any fuss at first, and didn't dare to sleep. After she felt that Sister-in-law Ji and several brothers beside her were asleep, the outside environment was quiet at night, and she could only hear the sound of some insects.
At this time, Ji Miaomiao began to cry.
The first person to be woken up was naturally Ye Qiuyun.
Hearing her daughter cry, she struggled out of her sleep, picked up the baby and touched the diaper. When she saw that it was not wet, she picked up the baby in a daze to comfort her.
After all, she had experience raising Ji Shiliang, and was very skillful in coaxing the child. Ji Miaomiao felt very comfortable in her mother's arms. If she hadn't had her own thoughts, she might have stopped crying by this time.
But her goal was to prevent Zhao Chuanliang from stealing things, so she kept crying.
At first, Ye Qiuyun was coaxed into a daze. Later, she cried for a long time, and Ye Qiuyun's brain woke up after falling asleep.
Seeing Sister-in-law Ji's dazed look, she was afraid that the child would wake her up, so she got off the kang and coaxed her by the window.
Ji Miaomiao didn't cry loudly. From her point of view, it would be better to catch him face to face. She didn't believe that Zhao Chuanliang didn't come out so late.
Therefore, her crying could only wake up the people around her, but it was not audible outside.
While she was crying, she pulled her mother's arms into her arms. When Ye Qiuyun saw that she was not stopping crying, Ye Qiuyun, who was originally relatively relaxed, suddenly became anxious.
Doesn’t your daughter know this? She has always been well-behaved and avoided causing trouble for adults. She has never caused any trouble in the middle of the night!
Could it be that she was feeling uncomfortable somewhere?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it was that she thought it was possible. After all, her child was always smart and could bring so many things to the family, and he didn't seem to be someone who would make trouble unreasonably.
She became anxious at that moment. There was no husband around, and there was no one with whom she could discuss the matter. After thinking about it, she could only gently push Sister-in-law Ji to wake her up.
"Second sister-in-law, Miao Yatou has been crying just now. She can't be coaxed, and she hasn't peed or pooped. I think the child is not feeling well somewhere."
Ye Qiuyun thought about how Sister-in-law Ji's two children often felt uncomfortable. She had experience.
My eldest son was also easy to take care of. He didn't feel any discomfort at all. He had no experience at all, so I wanted to let him take a look first.
After all, it's so late, so as long as it doesn't alert others, it won't alert others.
