However, his mother always sticks to her word and would not do such a thing for nothing.

"I caught it myself," Ye Yuran paused and said, "on the road outside Widow Qin's house."

Zhu Si suddenly raised his head, quite frightened.

"Your third brother knows that he had a heart-to-heart talk with your father before." Ye Yuran said with certainty.

Zhu Si felt bad all over, and even his voice trembled when he spoke: "How... how long has it been?!"

"It's been a while, but secretly taking things from home probably happened recently. I didn't notice it before." Ye Yuran gave Zhu Si some time to sort out his thoughts and continued, "There are just some signs.

, we haven’t reached that point yet, so don’t be nervous.”

"They've all started stealing things from home and giving them to others. What do you mean by a sign, but it hasn't reached that point yet? At what point will it be considered that point?"

"Your father also sympathizes with others. It's not easy for orphans and widowed mothers..."

"It's not easy for her, is it easy for our family? Didn't dad forget that the food rations in our fields before could not support so many people in our family. If my mother hadn't risked her life to go deep into the Taidang Mountains to find

We have food and found a way out for our family. We still don’t know what will happen to our family.”

Ye Yuran had no idea what Zhu Si was thinking about going into the mountains last year.

However, Zhu Si's "anger" just shows one thing, that is, as Ye Yuran expected, this family is very "mindful" of the affair of Mr. Zhu.

"Okay, fourth child." Ye Yuran stopped him from continuing and reminded him again to keep his voice down so that no one could hear him. "Don't let the scandal of your family go public, so keep your voice down."

Zhu Si felt particularly aggrieved: "The life at home is finally getting better. How could dad do such a thing without any trouble?"

——I feel so embarrassed to have such a father!

"I have made it clear to your father, and he has also emphasized that he and Widow Qin are innocent and have nothing to do with each other. It may be that I, as a mother, am overthinking it, but I am just afraid that things will come true.

That step would be bad. So I thought I would let you know for a while and see if I could stop leaving your father alone." Ye Yuran paused and said, "It's not surveillance, it's him alone.

When I was idle, I started thinking wildly and contacted Widow Qin. Once or twice, it was fine, but as time goes by, no one can tell whether something will happen."

"Okay, I'll watch him." Zhu Si accepted the words without saying a word.

"Don't blame your father. I have a strong personality. It's normal for your father to feel uncomfortable after being suppressed by me all his life. You can't blame your father entirely for this. I have already thought about it clearly. When the conditions at home are better, I will

He took in a few concubines so that he could live out his old age peacefully..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Si's eyes widened: "Mom, are you crazy?!"

"Shh... keep your voice down."

Zhu Si felt unhappy in his heart.

His father just had an affair, but his mother actually condoned it and wanted to provide his father with a child. What on earth was his mother thinking?

Ye Yuran said: "Only your father and I know the matters between me and your father. Even if you are his son and I, you can't interfere. Do you understand? Only husband and wife can handle matters between husband and wife. I am now

The only thing I'm worried about is that Lao Qi, Dabao and Erbao are still studying. If this matter comes out at this time, it will definitely not work and it will affect them. The most important thing for scholars is their reputation. Once this reputation is ruined, it will be a big problem. I

What I mean is to suppress this matter first. After a few years, when the family is rich and the seventh, eldest, and second eldest children have become famous, I will open a new yard and give your father a few small ones to let them

Go alone. Out of sight, out of mind, it won't affect you..."

Later, she said some more, and Zhu Si could hardly listen.

He really couldn't understand how a good family could become like this.

He broke up with Ye Yuran, and when he returned to the house, his expression was not good.

After Mrs. Li had coaxed the child, she looked up and suddenly saw his face, and was startled: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?"

"It's okay!" Zhu Si's voice was cold, as if he was angry with someone, and he turned over on the bed.

"You're saying it's okay? You don't even look right." Ms. Li leaned over and asked with concern, "What's going on? Is there anything else that we, husband and wife, can't talk about? If you tell me, maybe I can help you.

Think of a way."

"What can you think of doing something like this?"

"What's going on?" Mrs. Li thought of something. She leaned over, lowered her voice and said, "What you're talking about isn't about dad, is it?"

Zhu Si's reaction was huge and he suddenly sat up: "How do you know?!"

——No, didn’t mother say that the family didn’t know about it? How come his mother-in-law knew about it?

Thinking that Mr. Li was usually in charge of the family's business and that people came and went, Zhu Si couldn't help but feel worried.

——Could it be that the news has already spread, and his mother-in-law heard it from someone else?

When he thought that his mother was still trying to cover up this matter, but it had already spread, Zhu Si felt that his head was in a mess, and he wished he could rush to the town and call his third brother back.

"Oh, don't ask me how I know, anyway..." Mrs. Li said, "What dad did was indeed a bit unethical. The second sister-in-law doesn't know yet. If the second sister-in-law knows that dad stole the things, this matter will

I don’t even know what to do. I saw my second sister-in-law came back from her parents’ home today, and her expression was not very good. She must have been wronged there. Look, my second sister-in-law is not making trouble now, and something will happen tomorrow morning. "

"Why does it have to do with the second sister-in-law again?" Compared with the matter of Old Man Zhu stealing Liu's sweet potatoes, Zhu Si felt that his father's affair was a big deal and completely ignored the former.

"Why is it none of the second sister-in-law's business? Dad not only took the sweet potatoes that Niang Yun brought back to the second sister-in-law's family, but also took the things that the second sister-in-law saved by herself. How can the second sister-in-law feel comfortable?"

Zhu Si: "..."

——Oh, that’s not the same thing you told me.

"I don't know what dad was thinking. If he didn't agree with us taking so many things back to my parents' house, he would have just brought them up at the dinner table. But in the end, he didn't say anything and took them the next day without anyone noticing. This is not provoking trouble.

"?" At this point, Ms. Li also asked Zhu Si what she was thinking. She was going back to her parents' home tomorrow, and she didn't even know how much stuff she could bring back to her parents' home.

According to her original idea, she naturally wanted to show off her dignity. In addition to the share promised by her mother, she would add a private house and honor her parents.

However, once the father-in-law incident came out, it became inappropriate for her to take him with him.

If she really takes her, she's afraid that her father-in-law will "dislike" her later and give her little shoes to wear when nothing happens.

After Li finished speaking, she finally asked: "How much do you think is appropriate for me to bring?"

"Take as much as you want, just listen to me." After confirming that it was not that, Zhu Si breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the bed peacefully.

Li said: "Okay, I'll listen to you. You can take as much as Mom said. Fortunately, my second sister-in-law is in front of me, otherwise I would be the one who gets stolen. Do you know where I hid the sweet potatoes?"

"Where is it hidden?"

Mrs. Li was a little proud: "Hey! I didn't take it at all. I'm going to wash it and leave tomorrow morning, and then go to Mom's place to pick up the things. Am I smart? I'll leave as soon as I finish picking it up. Dad can take it if he wants.

Can’t hold it.”

Zhu Si: "..."
