Lin Chen heard the noise and was about to get up. When he saw Jiang Ning's arms wrapped around his neck and she was sleeping in a daze, he pushed her.

"There seems to be someone in the kitchen."

Jiang Ning said lazily, "There's nothing valuable in the kitchen."

Anyway, before going to bed, she put all her valuable things into the space and put two bicycles into the room.

Lin Chen was still worried and deliberately made noise.

Sure enough, a black shadow flashed past the window.

Early the next morning, there was a scream from next door.

Lin Zhou suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, holding her stomach in pain and rolling on the ground.

Lin Baojia frowned, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Xiaofeng said hurriedly: "Did you eat the wrong thing and get food poisoning?"

After hearing this, Lin Bao's family scolded her: "Last night, Mom didn't eat a single bite of food. Where did she get poisoned? Mom didn't eat any meat. She was so anxious!"

"Then why don't you go to the health center?"

As soon as Mrs. Lin Zhou heard about going to the health center, she immediately stopped her: "If you don't go, why spend that unjust money?"

I endured the pain and drank a bowl of cold water, but I felt like my stomach was churning, making me even more uncomfortable!

When Wang Xiufen was cooking in the morning, she looked through the cupboards and immediately knew what was going on. The old lady must have come to eat dried cabbage last night.

Those vegetables were so dark that you couldn't tell without looking carefully. In fact, there was mold inside.

When she told Jiang Ning and the others about this, she felt terrified!

Jiang Ning saw Lin Zhou in the main room, who was obviously pale and dying, but still refused to admit that it was food poisoning, so she gave Wang Xiufen a solution.

Wang Xiufen understood this and started howling when she came to the next door.

"Mother-in-law, please don't let anything happen to you!"

She howled like this, attracting all the community members living around her.

Everyone gathered around Mrs. Lin Zhou and saw that her face was ashen and she was breathing too much out. They thought she was going to die and they all wiped away tears.

"Although this old lady is usually a little arrogant, her life is really hard. She has been a widow for decades!"

"Have you prepared your coffin? These must be prepared in advance!"

......

Lin Zhou: "..."

Originally I only had stomach pain, but now my chest and head are also starting to hurt. Can you get rid of these messy people?

Wang Xiufen didn't. She very humbly asked people who came here for advice whether she should prepare a shroud for the old lady in advance! ! !

Lin Zhou, who had been in pain for several hours and finally felt better, got up with difficulty, and shouted in front of everyone's horrified eyes:

"I just got food poisoning!"

Wang Xiufen immediately pointed to the vomit on the ground and was surprised.

"Mom, you weren't poisoned by eating dried cabbage, were you?"

At this time, Jiang Ning appeared in time,

"Mom, it turns out you were the one who broke into the house and stole things last night. I thought it was the thief that Captain Gao said, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night!"

Everyone was in an uproar!

Tsk tsk, a person has only one face, and a tree has only one bark. You are really old, and you still do such sneaky things. You deserve the pain!

Everyone gave her a mocking and disdainful look, and then they left one after another.

Wang Xiufen made a gesture of concern:

"Xiaofeng, when the family was separated, you promised to take good care of your mother-in-law. It's such a shame to make things like this!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhou not only showed no shame, but also reached out to Wang Xiufen to ask for compensation:

"Since I admit that I was poisoned after eating your dried cabbage, then pay me five yuan and I want to see a doctor."

Wang Xiufen twisted her face and left, "It's a dream. It would be nice if I didn't send you to the police."

In the morning, Wang Xiufen took Jiang Ning and Lin Qiao to pick tea. Everyone in the tea garden was talking about it.

Each family in Chayuan Village can get a few ridges of tea. In addition to eating it themselves, the excess tea can also be sold to the state-owned tea factory.

For commune members, they can pick tea leaves all year round and sell them for ten or twenty yuan, which is considered an income for women.

Captain Gao's tea farm is right next door to Lin Chen's house.

Li Ying remembered what happened in the morning and smiled from ear to ear.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperate so well, otherwise we would never know that Mrs. Lin is capable of stealing food."

"Who says it's not the case? You said there are wild rumors about thieves outside, and every household is on guard against them, but they can't guard against domestic thieves!" someone echoed.

Li Ying's daughter Gao Xiaolan also came to pick tea. She curled her lips and said, "If you bring food to the old lady, will she eat it secretly?"

That tone was a little condescending.

"There are many twists and turns in the countryside. What do you, a little girl, know?" Li Ying quickly pushed her and motioned her to shut up with his eyes.

Gao Xiaolan was unconvinced: "Am I right? My family has cooked something delicious. Let me bring you a bowl of milk first."

Lin Qiao and Gao Xiaolan were high school classmates and roommates. They usually had a decent relationship, so they explained:

"Every family's situation is different. My grandma has more than 800 yuan on hand, so she can buy her own meat."

Gao Xiaolan ranked first in her grade in the final exam of her freshman year of high school. She looked down upon people like Lin Qiao who were in the middle of the class and continued: "You are just selfish and don't respect the elderly..."

If Li Ying hadn't stopped him in time, Wang Xiufen's family would have become heinous.

Jiang Ning finally couldn't listen anymore and sneered: "When we separated, the support obligations were clearly stated in black and white. She takes care of the money herself and is reluctant to eat meat. What does it have to do with us? Why should we be mean to please her?

The old lady is still lying on the bed. Please respect her. Why don't you give her some meat for lunch? "

Gao Xiaolan was stunned, "How can I give her any meat to eat!"

Jiang Ning: "If not, don't preach here! When you go out, you ask your mother to carry all the baskets. You are also lazy when picking tea leaves. Our family even picked a full basket, You’ve only picked half a dozen tea leaves, and if you have the time to mind other people’s business, why not pick more tea leaves?”

Gao Xiaolan was so angry that she threw her braid to another ridge to pick it.

Really, just because of her age, she got married and told her what to do.

As expected, an educated youth who marries a mud-legged woman cannot escape the fate of becoming a village woman.

She must study hard to stand out when recruiting workers in the factory and become someone she will look up to in the future!

In order to ease the embarrassment, Li Ying quickly changed the subject. Tomorrow was the first day of high school and asked Lin Qiao if she should just walk over.

The high school they attended was the County No. 6 Middle School, about 20 miles away from Chayuan Village. They did not live on campus and walked back and forth six days a week.

Not so for Gao Xiaolan. She has a bicycle at home, and Gao Qiang would occasionally pick her up and drop her off in order to show off.

Lin Qiao was not sure whether the bicycle at home could be used, so she didn't respond.

Jiang Ning said hurriedly: "It seems that two bicycles at home are not enough. I have to buy another one."

Everyone was confused. A bicycle costing more than 100 yuan was not cabbage costing two cents a pound. How could she say it so easily?

Lin Qiao smiled shyly: "Sister-in-law, there's no need to buy it. Brother, just send it to me."

Gao Xiaolan was so angry. She usually had better food, clothing, and everything than Lin Qiao, but now she only had better grades than her!

Just when she was angrily grabbing the tea leaves, she found that the tea tree in front of her was covered with caterpillars.

The next second, she felt itchy everywhere on her face and neck. She scratched hard with her hands, and her face turned red...

The next day, Lin Chen took Lin Qiao to school by bicycle and passed by Gao Qiang's house. Gao Xiaolan could only lie on the window and sulk.

She is now covered in red pimples and is too ugly to be seen.
