Chapter 12 A thief entered

"Oh my God! Fanghua, your mother-in-law gave you such a small amount of things when the family was separated?" Aunt Zhang looked at the two bowls, chopsticks and a plate in the kitchen with a look of disbelief.

I thought to myself, isn’t Zheng Fengying too stingy?

"Aunt Zhang, drink water." There was no cup at home, so Yun Fanghua took a bowl and poured water for her.

Aunt Zhang was not polite. She took the water and drank while looking at the empty kitchen. Apart from two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and a plate, there was only a broken iron pot and a water jar with a chipped mouth.

The iron pot and water jar were left behind after being worn out before. The cabinets were also empty, and there was no oil, salt, sauce or vinegar at all.

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

Just these two bowls and one plate, and a guest didn't even have the utensils to eat.

Speaking of which, the conditions of the Sheng family are pretty good. Although they have built a new house, their second son is in the military and Sheng Guoan works on the highway. The combined salary of father and son is also quite high.

Not to mention buying a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks, just buying a dozen or dozens more sets is not a problem. Of course, farmers are used to being thrifty, but the Sheng family must have extra bowls and chopsticks, which she has seen with her own eyes.

.

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

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

After Aunt Zhang finished drinking the water, she waved to Yun Fanghua and left without staying too long.

Looking at Aunt Zhang's leaving figure, Yun Fanghua's eyes flashed. She didn't say a word. As for what Aunt Zhang would think, that was beyond her control.

But based on her understanding of Aunt Zhang, she will definitely spread the word. By then, her cheap mother-in-law will probably be very angry again.

Yun Fanghua quickly retracted her gaze, turned around and entered the kitchen again to prepare lunch.

Two hundred kilograms of grain were divided among the families, but it was not rice, but rice. She would definitely not be able to eat the rice at noon. Fortunately, when the family was divided, she saw some taro, so she took some.

There is no need to boil this taro, just roast it directly in the fire. The roasted taro is still fragrant and tastes more exciting.

Yun Fanghua added some water to the pot, planning to boil some water for drinking. Then she stuffed the taro into the stove and covered it with ashes to prevent it from being burnt by the fire.

When the water boiled, the taro was ready. Yun Fanghua took the taro out of the ashes and cooled it aside, then turned and returned to the room.

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

When Sheng Beicheng came back, the couple ate a few taros and then went about their business.

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

We had just eaten and there were quite a few people doing laundry. When Yun Fanghua arrived, there were already seven or eight women squatting by the river.

While they were washing clothes, they talked about the gossip in the village. Before they even got there, she knew that they were talking about the gossip about the Lao Sheng family.

But when they saw her coming, everyone immediately shut their mouths.

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

"Um!"

"What's going on? You just got married, why did she separate you? Could it be that you and your mother-in-law had a quarrel?"

Yun Fanghua glanced at the person who asked the question but said nothing. She also knew this person, her name was Sister-in-law Lin. She once wanted to introduce her sister to Sheng Beicheng, but she failed in the end because Sheng Beicheng didn't like her.

Because of this, Sister-in-law Lin was very dissatisfied with her. She often pushed against her without telling her, and also liked to make trouble in secret. In her previous life, she didn't know about the lawsuit at first, so she suffered a lot.

Now, she will not fall for the other party's deception, lest some bad words about her will be spread later.

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

Yun Fanghua found it very boring to hear them talking about the elders of the East family and the short ones of the West family. After washing the clothes a few times, she got up and left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned home, she found the courtyard door open. At first, she thought it was Sheng Beicheng who had gone to grind rice, but then she thought something was wrong.

Because there was a road next to the river, Sheng Beicheng would have to walk on the road if he was coming back from grinding rice, so she would definitely see him. But when she was just washing clothes, she didn't see Sheng Beicheng coming back at all.

But if it weren't for Sheng Beicheng, would anyone else come to this yard?

Could it be that a thief entered the house?

With this in mind, Yun Fanghua picked up a wooden stick as thick as her arm on the roadside and held it in her hand before entering the house.

As soon as she entered, she discovered that not only the lock on the courtyard door was unlocked, but the door to the room was also open. Not only that, she could also hear the movement in the house.

If you say you are not afraid, that would be a lie.

Right now, she was alone. If she really encountered a thief, she wouldn't be able to call anyone. It was near the foot of the mountain, a bit far away from where the villagers gathered, and their nearest neighbor was half a mile away.

Because of fear, Yun Fanghua's heart was beating so hard that she broke into a cold sweat.

She gently put down the bucket of clothes, then turned and entered the kitchen, holding in her hand the hatchet she had borrowed to chop bamboo in the morning but had not yet returned.

Holding a wooden stick in one hand and a hatchet in the other, Yun Fanghua became bolder and quietly approached the door, preparing to lock it and then find someone to catch the thief.

People in the room were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for things, and making sounds to themselves from time to time.

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

But who could it be?

He actually came 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?

Wait, that’s not right!

In addition to the belongings of the separate family, there was also her dowry in the house!

Yes, the other party must be here for her dowry.

Thinking of this, Yun Fanghua's face suddenly turned ugly. She had many brothers and sisters in her family, but she raised a big boar, which was specially used to breed sows from nearby villages. Her income was not bad and her life was not bad. When she got married,

, the dowry is still decent, the bottom of the box is only one hundred yuan.

Therefore, the thief who rummaged through the box was looking for the money she kept at the bottom of the box.

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

And go.

Hearing the noise, the thief in the house was startled and hurried out, bumping into Yun Fanghua who came in.

It's her!
