Chapter 29: Private possession
Mrs . Liu suddenly thought of the group of young hens in Yingzhi’s family . So, she said: “It must be eggs . I heard the hens in Yingzi’s family can lay a lot of eggs every day . They must have come to give that dead girl a lot of eggs as thanks . ”
Speaking of eggs, Mrs . Liu couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva . How long has it been since she had eaten an egg? The hen in their family can only lay a very few eggs, so Bai Xiaofeng was the only one who could eat an egg . After all, he was a student, he used his brain all the time, so naturally, he needs more nutrients .
“Niang, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and let’s go to Zhao Lan . Let’s take those eggs back home before those two monks eat them . ”
Old Lady Bai also thinks the same . Their family hasn’t separated yet . So, no matter what they have, the Bai Family have to confiscate it . Zhao Lan has no right and reason to have private possessions .
So naturally, she will go ask Zhao Lan to hand over them .
Old Lady Bai got up and said: “Let’s go and look for her . ”
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law hurriedly went outside the yard and went straight to the place where Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi stayed . The cabin was next to the ditch house of Hu Changlin . Almost every household in the village has one or two cabins to pile up some sundries or raise some livestock .
The Bai Family was no exception . However, their cabin was not filled by sundries, but the newly cut timber of the old lady . It was impossible to be used as a room for the mother and daughter .
When Mrs . Liu saw the door was closed, she cleared out her throat and said loudly: “It’s already in the broad daylight, but the door is still closed? She must be doing some dirty things inside . ”
Mrs . Liu’s voice was originally loud, but she still deliberately made it louder .
As soon as the villagers heard her words, they immediately stopped from working and looked towards her .
Mrs . Liu thought that once the people inside heard her voice, they would immediately open the door .
But the result was, no one still opens it . So, she rushed in front of the door and knocked . The wooden door was shaken by her action, so obviously her strength was not small .
“Zhao Lan, what are you doing inside? Why aren’t you opening the door? Are you hiding a wild man inside?”
“You just left our house yesterday, but you already hooked up with a man? Your courage is not only big, but you are really capable ah! Hurry, open the door! Niang wants to see you right now . Who’s the wild man you are hiding, huh?”
The more Mrs . Liu’s screamed the more she gets excited . If Zhao Lan was really hiding a wild man inside, it will really be a good show . Not only Zhao Lan will lose a face but also that dead girl . With this, their Bai Family can also ask for compensation . With those thoughts in mind, Mrs . Liu’s strength was getting more and more strong . As if once she opens the door, there will silver coins that will come out .
“Niang, she doesn’t want to open the door . My hand is already swelling . ” When Mrs . Liu finally felt tired, she stopped slamming the door . And she turned around to talk to the old lady .
When Old Lady Bai came forward, she carefully looked at the door and saw a copper lock hanging outside . She couldn’t help but frown: “Isn’t this a lock? So, no one was inside?”
Mrs . Liu indeed saw a lock hanging on the door from the outside… … Meaning, she has been slamming the door for a long time for nothing, right?
At the next moment, Village Chief Li came back to the village with a hoe on his shoulder . When he saw Mrs . Liu and Old Lady Bai outside the cabin . He smiled and said: “Are you two looking for Zhao Lan? She and Old Hu were planting peanut seeds on the field . She seems to be helping him out . But, they just started, so it will take sometime before they came back . Do you need to see her urgently?”
