It rained once and didn't stop until after dinner.

Although it stopped, it was already dark, and the ground was wet and slippery. Few people in Zhujiacun were willing to go out, so they all packed up early. They were either getting ready to go to bed, or they were sitting in the main room of their home, talking with the whole family.

.

After Mrs. Li finished eating, she went back to the house to comfort her children.

Dabao, Erbao, and Zhu Qi were standing in the main room, taking lessons with Ye Yuran, and the others also followed.

After Ye Yuran taught it once, he asked Zhu Qi to continue to "repeat" and teach it to others.

Inside the house, there was the sound of reading loudly; outside, it was pitch black.

Ye Yuran walked out of the house and stood under the eaves, feeling a little worried.

She didn't know why Zhang Yan hadn't come back at this point in time. She had "escaped" or was trapped somewhere by the heavy rain.

If it was the former, Ye Yuran couldn't ask for it. She also felt that Zhang Yan was "troublesome" and wanted to "pass the blame" as soon as possible. But if it was the latter, if she didn't let anyone go out to find Zhang Yan, could she be considered an indirect murderer?

People, sometimes, are so contradictory.

You clearly despise the other person, but you have to feel guilty and uneasy for the other person.

When Zhu San saw his mother coming out, he took a "leave" to go to the toilet and followed him out of the main room.

"Mom, tell me, is she gone?"

Ye Yuran said: "I don't know, maybe."

Zhu San said: "Actually, it's okay if she leaves."

Ye Yuran: "Yeah."

Just be afraid, not leave.

In the dark night, Zhang Yan was walking on the mountain road, and she got soaked to the skin.

But she didn't dare to stop, wiping the tears from her face and walking forward with difficulty.

She bit her mouth in agony.

Because she really didn't expect that before she dug out the "secret" of the Zhu family, Mrs. Mei, who had long been forgotten by her, would actually find it.

"That madman!"

She didn't really want to kill Mrs. Mei, but when she reacted, Mrs. Mei was already lying on the ground with her head covered in blood.

"She killed me first!"

Zhang Yan wanted to tell herself that she was right. If Mrs. Mei hadn't wanted to kill her, she would never have done that to Mrs. Mei.

The rain had long since washed away the blood on her hands, and the coolness all over her body had frozen her ability to think. She only knew that she had to run away, far away.

Once someone knows that she killed Mrs. Mei, what awaits her will definitely not be a good end.

If she doesn't want to die, she has to run away.

"thump--"

Zhang Yan fell to the ground. She wanted to get up, but she felt that her consciousness was getting blurry.

She thought: Am I going to die?

But I am so unwilling!

Really, I am so unwilling!

That night, Ye Yuran slept very uneasily.

She could always dream of Zhang Yan being trapped somewhere, crying: "Save me! Please, save me!"

"It was you, it was you who killed me!"

"You are the murderer!"

When Ye Yuran sat up from the bed sweating profusely, it was already dark outside.

She heard movement coming from the yard.

It must be a daughter-in-law who got up early and is preparing cold water and breakfast for the family.

In the past, the Zhu family never had such a thing as cold water, but after Ye Yuran came, he not only required the Zhu family to wash their hands after eating and using the toilet, but also the water they drank must be boiled cold water.

"Mom, get up. I've boiled the water and put it in a jar to cool down."

The jar Liu mentioned is the big-bellied ceramic jar. In the past, it was only used during the busy farming season to deliver water to the family.

However, since there was such a thing as "cold boiled water", it became a "frequent customer" of the Zhu family and was placed in the kitchen.

After letting it warm, fill it with another slightly smaller ceramic pot and put it on the table in the main room.

Although mint tea is a good thing, after the weather gradually cooled down, it dropped out of the Zhu family's daily routine. It was left to dry in the sun and put away in a bag.

It was because Zhu Bamei had a lot of flowers in her hands, such as jasmine and chrysanthemums, so Ye Yuran asked her to collect some, dry them in the sun, and use them as "flower tea".

"Mom, I picked out some of the wild fruits that the second and second children brought back yesterday and gave them to Dabao and Erbao as snacks. Can we make jam from the rest?"

"Well, make some sweet and salty ones. There will be nothing to eat in winter, so this is the only thing that can be used to season the food." Ye Yuran said.

"Hey, I understand, mother."

Ye Yuran also asked about the situation of Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei. Although the hut in the backyard had been renovated, she was still a little worried about leaks due to the heavy rain yesterday.

"It's okay, Mom, it's just leaking from the side. I asked them to find a basin to connect it, so it didn't leak into their bed." Mrs. Lin didn't think there was any problem with this at all. After all, her sisters also slept in it when they were at her parents' house.

Walk through a leaky house.

"Okay, after each room is up, you can ask for me to see if there are any leaks. Before winter, fix any leaks as soon as possible. It will be difficult to fix in winter." Ye Yuran

After recalling the memory of the original owner, I found that the roof of Zhu's house was only replaced when Lin came in, so this problem is not a big problem.

Otherwise, by the time she remembered it now, the Zhu family would have already turned into a river and could raise fish.

"Hey, I get it."

After a while, every room got up.

Ye Yuran and Zhu San met and confirmed the fact that Zhang Yan did not return home last night.

"Maybe he really left." Zhu San said.

"Maybe." Apart from comforting herself, Ye Yuran didn't know what to say.

However, God seems to prevent people from being "pure". When the Zhu family was preparing to have breakfast, they got the news that Mrs. Mei was dead, and she died on a certain trail in Zhujia Village.

"What?!" Zhu Wu looked at the big mouth who came to the door to inquire about the information from the Zhu family, with a look of shock on his face, "What are you talking about, they suspected that we killed Mrs. Mei? Are you kidding! We don't even know whether Mrs. Mei is

No one knows who will kill her?"

Big Mouth had a sarcastic expression: "That...that, I didn't listen to what others said."

She would not admit that when she heard the news of Mrs. Mei's death, she asked, "Did the Zhu family do it?"

Big Mouth didn't know how many people were thinking about this now, but she was afraid that people would think of her, so she hurried over and told the Zhu family.

"Have you forgotten that Mrs. Mei is the one who made the third child of your family..." Big Mouth tried hard to remind them, "She was the one who caused the third child of your family to lose his wife and was also cuckolded...

"

Before she could speak, Ye Yuran stared at her and said coldly: "Shut up! Apart from spreading these gossips, what else can you do? If you don't like me, fine, just fight me, stare.

What are you doing with other people? Do you dare to swear on your son and grandson that the affairs of the third child's family were not spread by you?"

Big mouth squib.

Of course she didn't dare. She had given birth to a son and embraced a grandson in her life. If retribution came to them, what hope would she have in this life?

"I'm covering my head, and you're going to poke me in the back. You're from the Yongning family. To put it bluntly, you just don't want to see my Zhu family well." Ye Yuran pressed her big mouth directly to see what the original owner didn't like.

Zhu family, "Also, let me tell you, I divorced the third child because he made me unhappy. As a mother-in-law, I will divorce anyone I like. If you dare to spread it outside again, be careful."
