Seeing this, Liu Jinfeng did not laugh at Shen Rong, but just said: "How could I not know, if Changsheng was not so strong, Ergouzi would not have been able to work across the street last year. This is still taking advantage of Changsheng!"

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Brother Ergou has been helping Changsheng outside a lot. Our two families are close, so it's only natural for us to help each other."

Shen Rong knew that Ergouzi had taken meat several times while working last year, and Changsheng had eaten a lot of it. Although Ergouzi was not as strong as Changsheng, he never cheated or played tricks when doing things, nor did he bully Changsheng for being stupid.

"Hey, let's not talk about this. Your family is all in the same village. Do you want to ask your sister-in-law to come along? And about what happened today, you can go back to your family and talk about it."

Liu Jinfeng was a little envious of Shen Rong. Her parents' home was so close and she could just call her if she had any problems.

Shen Rong thought about it and did not reject Liu Jinfeng's proposal, "Then I will go back to my parents' home later."

After hearing what Shen Rong said, Liu Jinfeng stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late and I have things to do at home. I'll go ask Xiangxiang if she wants to come with us."

As soon as Liu Jinfeng left, Changsheng finished digging earthworms in the bamboo forest at the back, fed the chickens, and came to the front yard.

Shen Rong knew where Changsheng was at a glance.

"Changsheng, wash your hands, pack up, and let's go back to my mother's house."

What happened this morning, she might as well go back and tell her mother about it.

"Oh." Changsheng walked to the wooden basin in the middle of the yard where he had washed clothes, squatted down, and washed his hands.

Changsheng no longer had the initial aversion to going back to Shen Rong's parents' home. At this moment, there was even a hint of excitement on his face.

His transformation started with Changsheng raising chickens.

Ever since his family started raising chickens, Changsheng has to dig earthworms for the chicks every day. Seeing the chicks grow day by day, Changsheng likes to show off to his friends how well and how fast his chickens are growing.

Shen Rong's parents also raised more than a dozen chickens. Changsheng learned from Shen Dongting and his nephews and nieces to dig earthworms to feed the chickens.

The last time Changsheng went back to Shen Rong's parents' home, Changsheng and a few little ones spent a long time in the backyard whispering about how to dig bigger and more earthworms and how to raise chickens faster.

Changsheng found a common language with the little ones and gradually accepted Shen Rong's family.

Shen Rong changed Changsheng into a new coat and also changed her old clothes which were washed so much that they turned white.

The two men cleaned up, took a bag of dried mushrooms from the beam in the kitchen, and packed a few pounds of fine rice for the twin nephews.

Sister-in-law Shen Rong went back to her parents' home yesterday. When she and Changsheng entered the house, sister-in-law Li Fenglian was talking about the latest news happening in Lijia Village.

Shen Rong happened to hear it when she walked in.

"Sister-in-law, you just said that the landlord Li from your mother's village was robbed?"

Shen Rong felt like she remembered something.

"Yes, the news spread all over my mother's village. I only learned about it when I went back. I heard that all the gold and silver jewelry hidden in Landlord Li's house were stolen. Landlord Li reported it to the police, but unfortunately they couldn't find out who stole it after a long investigation. The thief was too capable and didn't leave any clues."

As Li Fenglian spoke, she asked Sanniang and Changsheng to sit down.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Tell me about Landlord Li's family first!" Shen Rong pulled her eldest sister-in-law to sit down and greeted her second sister-in-law who came out of the house.

Shen Rong had no recollection of the theft in Landlord Li's house, but she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she heard that there was a skilled thief in the village where her eldest sister-in-law's family came from, and that thief never left home empty-handed.

As soon as the sister-in-law mentioned Landlord Li, Shen Rong thought of this thief.

Shen Rong didn't know when the thief appeared, nor did she know whether the thief who stole from Landlord Li's house was the thief.

In the previous life, Shen Rong didn't know about such a person until the thief was caught by the government and the news spread.

At that time, she heard people in the village talking about a thief. Thinking that her sister-in-law was also from Lijia Village, she listened more closely and learned about the thief.

Speaking of which, the thief is somewhat related to her sister-in-law's family!

Li Fenglian was a gossipy person, and when she heard that her sister-in-law was interested, she immediately shared the news with her.

"I heard from my mother that the thief was quite cunning. He didn't even want the land deed or house deeds of Landlord Li's family, but only took the gold and silver. I heard that even the gold earrings on the landlord's wife's ears were stolen. That thief was really bold."

Shen Rong became more and more certain that the thief who stole from Landlord Li's house was the eldest brother of her sister-in-law's cousin.

In the previous life, after the government officials caught the thief, they found a lot of gold and silver in his house, but not a single antique or painting was found. Everyone said that the thief only loved gold and silver.

Shen Rong was surprised for a moment, then changed the subject, "I heard that your sister-in-law's cousin has a cousin who is an apprentice carpenter in the county town?

I don’t know how you are doing with your studies?

Shen Yuan came to my house this morning and said that everything in the county town is exquisite. I don’t have the chance to go to the county town now, but I want to make a cabinet. It would be even better if it is in the style of the county town.”

"Hey! You're right to ask me this. When I went back to my mother's house this time, I found out that my cousin had returned to the village with his wife.

He is taking jobs in the village now. My cousin started as an apprentice at the age of eight and has been working as a carpenter in the county for more than ten years. He has learned a lot of new styles and his craftsmanship is quite good. People from several nearby villages all ask him to make furniture!

What kind of cabinet do you want to make? I will go back to my parents' home and tell him to make it for you in advance." The sister-in-law looked at Shen Rong, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

Shen Rong was not really trying to compete with Shen Yuan or to make a cabinet in the county style for the sake of novelty, but because her eldest sister-in-law's cousin was the thief.

Speaking of which, my eldest sister-in-law's cousin had a quite legendary life.

He was originally an honest carpentry apprentice, but his fate changed after he saved an old man who fell to the ground on his way home one day.

The old man was not an ordinary person. He was said to be a skilled thief. In order to thank his eldest sister-in-law for saving his life, he taught his skills to his cousin from her mother's family.

After the eldest brother of the Li family finished his studies, he tried to steal a few times, but found that it was too easy to make money, and he couldn't stop.

He was quite clever. After returning to the village, he still made a living by doing carpentry work, but in fact he made his fortune by stealing.

The key point is that when he stole things, he did not go to those wealthy families, but only to ordinary wealthy landlords. Those people were powerless. Even if he reported to the police, the police would not investigate the case diligently. Not to mention that he had the ability to steal with nothing, which made the investigation even more difficult.

It was not until he was spotted by the government and arrested that some news came out.

While the aunt and sister-in-law were talking, the second sister-in-law Ma Xiuxiu poured tea for Shen Rong and Changsheng. She looked at Shen Rong and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Shen Rong knew what her two sisters-in-law wanted to ask, but she pretended not to see anything.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, tomorrow morning Sister-in-law Jinfeng and I will go to the temple across the street to burn incense. Do you want to go?"

Now that she had confirmed that her eldest sister-in-law's cousin had returned to the village, she had a plan in mind.

"Go!" the two sisters-in-law said in unison.

The three aunts and sisters-in-law talked for a while, and finally the second sister-in-law couldn't help but ask about what happened in the canal this morning and the beating of Gu Dawang.

Before Shen Rong could answer, Mrs. Lu came back with her grandchildren.

Not to mention how affectionate the mother and daughter were when they met, when Changsheng saw the little kids, he, who had been sitting on the stool without saying a word, immediately came alive and looked at the children with bright eyes.
