Chapter 175
"They're used to pretending." Seeing Wang Yanqing's disbelief, Mrs Wu was eager to prove herself, and spoke ill of her parents-in-law like pouring beans, "Miss Wang, I'll only tell you this. Don't look at my in-laws pretending to be outside. Like the Bodhisattva, in fact, the county government gave the villagers a huge amount of funeral expenses.”
Wang Yanqing covered her mouth in surprise. While wondering if she was acting too exaggeratedly, she continued to ask exaggeratedly, "Is there such a thing?"
"Really." Mrs Wu said, "My mother-in-law is such a stingy person, and she was suddenly willing to buy meat recently. I accidentally dropped a bowl, but she didn't have a seizure. Two days later, I bumped into her secretly and said to Zheng Zheng that the money in the family will be his in the future, and told Zheng Zheng not to tell me in every possible way."
As Wu shi said, he rolled his eyes and sneered: "This is not a windfall, what else could it be?"
As long as they live under the same roof, no matter how cautious people are, they will inevitably reveal clues. What's more, even if you don't say anything about money, you will show it in your behavior and attitude.
Wu found that her father-in-law and her mother-in-law seemed to have added a lot of money recently, but their family had nothing to do. The only accident was that many people died in the village recently. This is not the greed of the government government's pension to the widow, what else could it be?
Wang Yanqing suddenly realized that the Lizheng family had made a fortune recently and wanted to hide it from his daughter-in-law, but he was overheard by the Wu family. In this way, the behavior of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just now can be completely explained.
Mrs Wu held her breath in her heart and deliberately showed off her family's wealth in front of others, while Mrs Qian knew how much money her family had saved, and was very disdainful of the so-called wealth of Mrs Wu's family. The corners of Qian's mouth couldn't help laughing, because she felt that she was stronger than Wu's, and she didn't bother to expose it, so she was secretly happy.
Now I get a very important clue. The Lizheng family made a fortune that cannot be shown to others. I don't know how it came, but it can be confirmed that the amount is not small, at least far beyond the income of ordinary people. Wang Yanqing was thoughtful, and slowly inquired about another matter: "I didn't know there was such a thing, the second old man really doesn't look like this kind of people. I heard that someone nearby has disappeared, could it be the missing person? The family is looking for someone, please, the reward?"
Wu shi cut a voice disdainfully: "Some time ago, the lost people were either orphans, widowers, or rogues. They have no one at home, and no one cares about them. Who will pay to find them?"
Wang Yanqing was surprised: "It turns out that they are all lonely, widows, old and weak? Oh, I just saw Zheng Zheng pulling the old lady out and running out. The two of them are a child and an old man. They will be fine outside, right?"
Wu Shi was also worried when she heard it. She stood up and looked out: "It shouldn't be. I haven't heard of any child or woman who got lost."
It was about his son, Mr. Wu couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Miss, you are sitting here, I'm going out to find Zheng Zheng, I'm sorry."
Wang Yanqing hurriedly said "it doesn't matter" and urged Mrs Wu to go quickly.
After the Wu family left, Wang Yanqing was the only one left in the room. She glanced out the window, got up quietly, and looked around the room.
She rummaged through where she might be hiding something, then carefully put it back in place. Thanks to her years of martial arts practice, her ears are sharper than others. When she heard chaotic footsteps outside, she immediately restored her things, sat back to the original position, and calmly picked up the fan.
She just fanned it twice, when Wu's voice sounded outside the window: "I told you how many times, don't go to the river. There are monsters in the bottom of the river, be careful to drag you down and eat!"
Qian Shi's sharp voice sounded: "Just talk when you talk, what does Jiu Bao'er do?"
Wang Yanqing listened to the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and smiled lightly.
Wang Yanqing was "raising his body" at Lizheng's house. It was almost noon and the people who went out had not returned, so Wang Yanqing had to eat at Lizheng's house. Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Wu warmly welcomed Wang Yanqing. After the meal, Mrs. Wang offered to help, but was stopped by Mrs. Qian: "Miss, you are a distinguished guest, how can you do such a thing? You can just rest in the main room."
Mrs Wu also said, "Yes, Miss Wang, you are not feeling well. Don't touch the water. I'm used to doing this, and I'll clean it up in a while."
Wang Yanqing no longer insisted, and said, "Okay, it's time to work."
Mrs. Wu was washing dishes and cleaning the table outside, Mrs. Qian went into the room with her grandson to sleep, and Mrs. Wang sat by the window, leaning against the edge of the window and slowly fanning her fan. Looking at the dazzling white sunlight outside, she couldn't help thinking, where are the second brother and the others now?
Running around in such a hot sun, how do they eat at noon?
Qian coaxed his grandson to sleep, but the spirit of the five-year-old child was much stronger than that of the old man. In the end, Qian fell asleep, and Li Zhengze's eyes were still rolling. Li Zhengze quietly climbed out of his grandmother's arms, slipped down to put on his shoes, and ran out.
Seeing this move, I'm obviously used to it.
Wu Shi packed up her lunch. She saw her son squatting in the corner to play, and hurried him back to sleep. Wang Yanqing said, "Miss Wu, go and rest. I can't sleep, so I happened to be watching him here."
Wu Shi was a little hesitant, but Wang Yanqing said, "It just so happens that I like children very much, and I feel happy."
There is a folk saying that if a woman who has not had children hugs more boys, she will be able to give birth to a boy in the future. Mrs Wu had already guessed about Wang Yanqing's identity, so she no longer doubted it, and went back to her room to sleep.
