Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Yang Yongjin said: "Aunt Si didn't return to the village. I kept an eye out on the way back to town, but I didn't see Aunt Si."

"So where is she staying tonight?" Yang Yongjin asked again, "Will she stay at my aunt's place? Or will she stay at our Tianxiang Tower?"

Yang Ruoqing took a sip of tea, looked at Yang Yongjin, and said, "We asked this question when we stopped her. She said she was staying with her mother-in-law and we don't need to worry about her."

My in-laws' mother's family is Chen Biao's. Chen Biao and Juer had already gone to the county town to manage a restaurant. They took their eldest son there to study and left their youngest son to Chen's mother. The two of them lived in the old house in the town.

Yang Yongjin was stunned and said in a lost voice: "Go to Chen's house? Then she will come back empty-handed!"

"Why? Isn't Mother Chen at home?"

"Aunt, you don't know this," Xiuxiu, who was also an insider, told Yang Ruoqing, "My cousin fell ill a few days ago and had a fever. Grandma Chen was panicked and came to find my father. It was my father who took an afternoon off to help send them to my aunt Juer in the county town."

"Oh? You haven't come back in the past two days?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Xiu Xiu nodded: "She probably hasn't come back yet. Grandma Chen left a key with me before she went to the county town. She asked me to go there every day to feed the chickens and ducks in her yard and give them water. Look, I just went there at noon today!"

Yang Ruoqing blinked twice and laughed: "Then Fourth Aunt has come up empty-handed. She will most likely stay at our place, or go to Aunt Mei'er's place."

"No, it's unlikely that she'll go to Aunt Meigu's place. Firstly, there's a shortage of rooms over there, and there's no extra bed for her to sleep in."

"Secondly, my grandma is over there. Unless it's absolutely necessary, Fourth Aunt doesn't want to live under the same roof with my grandma."

Yang Ruoqing put down the tea bowl, stood up, walked to the door and looked outside for a few times, feeling confused.

The sun was about to set, and the crowd at the construction site was evacuated, and those who needed to be controlled were also controlled.

Looking back at the previous scene at the construction site, Yang Ruoqing did not see Liu in the crowd.

If Liu was at the scene at that time, even if Yang Ruoqing didn't see her, she would take the initiative to shout at Yang Ruoqing, and then use her relationship with Yang Ruoqing to squeeze to the side of the pit to see Tai Sui up close.

Where did Fourth Aunt go?
Yang Yongjin saw that it was getting dark and Liu hadn't come yet. He was worried and said, "I'll go check on my aunt. Maybe Fourth Aunt has gone there."

"Second brother, it's almost time for dinner, and the restaurant will have guests, so you'd better not go out."

"What about Fourth Aunt?"

"I go!"

"Aunt, I'll accompany you."

"Okay, let's talk. We haven't finished what we were talking about before!"

Yang Ruoqing and Xiu Xiu did not take a carriage, but walked to Yang Huamei's house, which made it convenient to find Liu along the way.

……

Quarter of an hour later, the aunt and niece arrived at the house rented by Yang Huamei and Xu Yuanming.

At this time, Xu Yuanming had sobered up and was carrying a bowl of chicken noodle soup to Yang Huamei's room.

Sister Hua was busy in the kitchen, while Mrs. Tan was collecting diapers for three babies in the yard, mumbling something as if she was scolding someone.

There were several other tenants living in this huge yard, but no one dared to show their heads here, let alone speak. Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing strongly suspected that during the time Tan lived here, she had probably had conflicts and clashes with other tenants in the same yard. Then, the other tenants had already experienced the old lady's sharp tongue and avoided her from a distance.

"Grandma, son-in-law." Xiu Xiu's voice startled them, and Tan and Xu Yuanming looked towards the gate of the courtyard at the same time.

Xu Yuanming smiled and nodded, saying, "Qing'er, you and Xiuxiu go sit inside. I'll serve the noodles to your aunt first."

"Uncle is busy now. I'll just ask grandma a few words and then leave." Yang Ruoqing said.

As soon as the words fell, Tan was seen rushing towards the gate of the yard on her feet. She had a few clean diapers hanging in her arms. Her other hand was tightly grasping Yang Ruoqing's arm like a chicken claw. She lowered her voice and said, "I was just about to send Xu Yuanming to the restaurant to find you. Something happened, something serious!"

"What's going on?"

"Your fourth aunt came here earlier and said that no one was at the Chen family and that she wanted to stay here for the night."

Oh?
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows. Fourth Aunt's behavior was beyond her expectations. She originally thought that Fourth Aunt would avoid the Tan family and stay overnight at Tianxiang Tower!
"I told her that there was no place to live here and asked her to go to Tianxiang Tower." Tan continued, "But she refused to leave and kept nagging me. I got so angry that I chased her away with a broom!"

"Then what?" Yang Ruoqing asked again. After hearing this, she felt that there was nothing unusual.

Looking at Xiuxiu who was listening with her ears perked up beside her, her face was also full of confusion. She probably had the same idea as Yang Ruoqing.

Tan grabbed Yang Ruoqing's arm tightly, stamped her feet and said, "When I chased her away, she was in a panic and fell down."

"Something fell out of her pocket. She had wrapped it in a handkerchief, and it fell to the ground with a clatter."

"Before I could see clearly what it was, she quickly picked it up and put it back in her pocket, then ran away. She looked so flustered, it was obvious that she had done something she was guilty of!"

"I went to the place where she dropped the thing and saw a faint red mark on the ground. I lay down and sniffed it, and it smelled like blood!"

"Your Fourth Aunt, your Fourth Aunt hid a piece of raw meat on her body. I'm afraid she stole the meat from Tai Sui. She is famous for always taking advantage of others..."

After listening to Tan's narration and analysis, Yang Ruoqing was shocked.

Xiu Xiu also opened her eyes wide in fear and murmured, "No way? It's true that Fourth Grandma likes to take advantage of others, but she can't be so foolish as to take advantage of everything, right?"

Yang Ruoqing couldn't believe it either, because when Tan was talking about the strange behavior of villagers who accidentally ate the meat of Tai Sui in the early years, Liu was sitting next to Sun and Bao Suyun and listening with both ears!

Since everyone has heard that Tai Sui meat is evil, how could Liu know he was wrong and make a mistake? Isn't this courting death?

"Grandma, you're not seeing things, are you? Maybe there's something else wrapped in that handkerchief?" Xiu Xiu looked puzzled.

Tan glared at Xiu Xiu fiercely and said, "Even if I only have one eye left, it's still bright. Even if I'm blind, I still have good ears and a good nose!"

"Oh, by the way, if you don't believe me, I'll take you outside. The piece of raw meat in her pocket fell there, and the traces haven't been wiped off yet!"

Yang Ruoqing and Xiu Xiu followed Tan to the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw a skinny tabby cat with boogers in its eyes squatting on the ground at the gate and licking the ground.

Tan shouted angrily at the civet cat.

Yang Ruoqing saw the tabby cat licking the ground with its tongue, turning a deaf ear to Tan's scolding. Yang Ruoqing's face changed drastically, thinking to herself that this was not good! (End of this chapter)
