Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

The moment she saw Sun Shumei appearing at the door of Liu Dazhu's house, Bai Xiaohua felt a surge of panic in her heart.

Subconsciously, she wanted to shut Sun Shumei out of the door and stop her from entering, but then she thought of something and smiled faintly while holding her belly.

Bai Xiaohua, who was standing there at the moment, looked like a victor, with a smug look on her face.

"Shumei, why are you here, come in and have a seat."

If it was before, Sun Shumei would not have noticed the change in her expression, but now she is keenly aware that Bai Xiaohua doesn't seem to welcome her.

Sun Shumei pursed her lips, but followed her in.

Bai Xiaohua entertained her like a hostess, and ordered her sister-in-law and uncle to boil water and make tea.

Sun Shumei hurriedly said: "Don't be busy, my mother and I are visiting my cousin's house, and I have to go back later."

Bai Xiaohua was just being polite, and when she heard this, she said: "Then I won't bother you, lest you feel uncomfortable instead."

Liu Aihua glanced at her sister-in-law, and took her brother back to the room.

Sun Shumei glanced at her and asked tentatively, "Xiao Hua, how are you doing recently?"

Bai Xiaohua smiled all over her face, and couldn't wait to show off her happiness: "I'm living a good life. My mother-in-law and my sister-in-law and uncle are very easy to get along with. Brother Dazhu is also very kind to me. He loves me very much. He never lets me When I go to the field, I don’t let me touch the housework, lest I get tired.”

Sun Shumei gave her a strange look, thinking of the expressions of the brothers and sisters of the Liu family, she said indifferently: "I can see it."

Sister-in-law and uncle don't seem to like your sister-in-law, but they are very unfamiliar, with fear in their eyes.

Bai Xiaohua felt envious of this strange look, and she was even more proud.

Originally, Bai Xiaohua, who didn't go back to her mother's house today because she had a big fight with her two sister-in-laws and even broke up with her parents because she returned home three days ago, finally found her pride in Sun Shumei's side.

"You don't know yet, I have it in my stomach." Bai Xiaohua said happily.

When Sun Shumei heard it, she was really surprised: "So fast?"

It hasn't been a month since Bai Xiaohua came in, so logically speaking, she wouldn't know it even if she had it.

"My childhood was just a few days ago, but I didn't come this month, so it must have happened."

"Then, then congratulations." Sun Shumei had to say that.

"Thank you, you are the first to know about this, I didn't even tell Brother Da Zhu." Bai Xiaohua continued

"I really hope that the child will be born soon. It's better to be like Brother Dazhu. Brother Dazhu treats me wholeheartedly. I have fallen into honey now. Every day is sweet. When I was not married before, how could I I thought there would be such a good day..."

She wholeheartedly wanted to make Sun Shumei envious, but she didn't know that as she talked more and more, Sun Shumei's face became more and more weird.

After listening to Xiu Enai's words, Sun Shumei finally couldn't help interrupting her: "Xiao Hua, actually I came here today to ask you something."

Bai Xiaohua paused, and her face became lighter: "What is it, you made a special trip."

It can't be glass beads, can it?Bai Xiaohua frowned, a little worried that Sun Shumei had discovered the abnormality of the glass beads.

Even if she didn't need it, Bai Xiaohua would never return the glass beads.

Sun Shumei took a look at her: "Actually, I've wanted to ask about this for a long time, but I never had the chance... I thought I'd just ask you on your wedding day, but who knew you didn't ask me."

Bai Xiaohua smiled mischievously, of course she wouldn't invite Sun Shumei, who knew if she and Liu Dazhu had the right eye at the wedding.

For the sake of a prosperous life in the future, Bai Xiaohua can't wait to put an end to all threats.

Compared with Du Pingping, who has gone far away, she is naturally young and beautiful, and Sun Shumei, who was originally an official mate, is more threatening.

No wonder Bai Xiaohua would give them a chance to meet.

"Oh, I didn't do it on purpose. It's not because you have a lot of things to do in your family. You have to take care of your paralyzed uncle. How can you have the time to attend the wedding?"

These words made Sun Shumei's face look uneasy. She seemed considerate, but in fact every sentence was a stab.

Seeing that her face was dark, Bai Xiaohua took her hand again and asked, "Shumei, did I say something wrong?"

Sun Shumei broke free and asked directly: "I just want to ask you, my third uncle asked you to pass a message before, why did you forget?"

"What message?" Bai Xiaohua asked subconsciously.

Sun Shumei looked at her in disbelief.

Bai Xiaohua didn't know what she was talking about at all, and said with a smile: "It's probably not something important, so I forgot."

Sun Shumei clenched her fists, her eyes turned cold.

Bai Xiaohua's eyes flickered, and she bit back and said, "You still care about a little thing with me."

Sun Shumei stood up and said lightly, "It's nothing to worry about."

Maybe the eldest brother is right, Bai Xiaohua never considers her a friend from the bottom of her heart.

Sun Shumei couldn't believe this answer, but now she couldn't think of anything else besides this answer. Thinking of their friendship for so many years, Sun Shumei's heart ached.

"Forget it, I'm going back." Sun Shumei suddenly felt so boring.

Bai Xiaohua didn't want her to stay longer, lest she bump into Liu Dazhu who was out for a walk, so she only pretended to stay for a few words before sending her out.

Sun Shumei took one last look at her, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Hua, why have you changed so much?"

After speaking, he walked towards the old Gu's house without looking back.

Standing at the door of Liu's house, Bai Xiaohua's face turned blue and then pale, and then she didn't take it seriously after being startled. She looked at Sun Shumei's back suspiciously, wondering if she had revealed something.

Why Bai Xiaohua was in such a hurry to get married was one reason why she wanted to tie up Liu Dazhu earlier, and the fact that she stayed in the original owner's house exposed more and more cheating feet, and the eyes of her parents, brother and sister-in-law were not looking right every day was another reason.

If feudal superstition hadn't been overthrown these days, and all monsters and snakes were not allowed to mention it, Mama Bai would probably hold her back.

"Hmph, what can you do to me after I've changed."

Bai Xiaohua turned around and walked towards the room. After seeing Sun Shumei today, she wanted to try that glass bead again.

Unexpectedly, when she returned to the house, she searched the whole bed but couldn't find the glass beads, Bai Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat.

Sun Shumei took it?

Impossible, she didn't enter the room at all after entering the door, she just sat outside, it was impossible to take it away.

Bai Xiaohua suddenly thought that years ago, when she asked Liu Aihua to dry the quilt, the glass beads were pressed under the pillow. Later, she was so busy cultivating a relationship with Liu Dazhu that she forgot about it.

Bai Xiaohua hurried to the next room and grabbed Liu Aihua: "Did you steal my glass marbles?"

Liu Aihua was startled by her rude action, and heard that the question was unclear, so she said, "What kind of glass marbles, I haven't seen them before."

But Bai Xiaohua asked persistently: "If it's not you, who else would you have, but you came into my room, and the beads were placed under the pillow at that time, so you must have taken them."

After speaking, she quickly rummaged through the house, not caring that it was also her mother-in-law's house.

Liu Aihua was so angry that she cried: "Sister-in-law, you can't wrong people. I came into the room to help you dry the quilt and wash your clothes. I never messed with other things."

But Liu Xiaozhu was too scared to speak. He remembered the bead he picked up in the corner of the yard. He was so happy at that time that he took it and went to the village to find someone to play with.

With his own marbles, the children in the village are finally willing to take him to play with him.

As a result, his skill in playing marbles was not good, and he quickly lost the marbles to other little boys. Because they were the marbles he picked up, Liu Xiaozhu felt distressed for a while and then passed.

Who knew it belonged to my sister-in-law, if I had known it, he would not have dared to play with it.

Bai Xiaohua searched the house but couldn't find it. She grabbed Liu Aihua and questioned her again and again. Liu Aihua was pushed and shoved by her and burst into tears.

"I really didn't take it." Liu Aihua said bitingly.

Bai Xiaohua believed it was her, and even suspected that she was going to take away her chance, so she slapped her aggressively.

At this moment, Widow Liu came back from outside, heard her daughter crying and hurried in, and saw Bai Xiaohua beating her.

"What are you doing!" Widow Liu screamed, and hugged her daughter for a look, her face was swollen with a slap, and the base of her ear was cut open by a nail.

Widow Liu loves her child, and she has never beaten her daughter herself.

"Bai Xiaohua, this is your sister-in-law. You can't hit me anytime you want, or scold me anytime you want!"

Bai Xiaohua sneered and said, "You came at the right time. I really don't know how you teach the child. You teach a thief. She stole my things. You'd better let her return it quickly, otherwise this matter will never end."

Obviously, she didn't take her mother-in-law's temper seriously.

Widow Liu is not a good quarrel, but her son is devoted to protecting his daughter-in-law, so she has nothing to do with Bai Xiaohua.

Aggrieved, Liu Aihua threw herself into her mother's arms, crying, "Mom, I really didn't steal from her, she wronged me."

Widow Liu naturally believed in her daughter: "Aihua is an honest child. She said she didn't steal anything, so she didn't steal it. If you lose something, you should blame yourself for not putting it away, but you are suspicious of my sister-in-law."

Seeing that the house was turned into a mess again, he cursed angrily: "Okay, okay, I have never seen a daughter-in-law who dared to search her mother-in-law's house. I don't know what a good person is without a gift money."

Bai Xiaohua didn't show weakness at all, she sneered and said, "Who the hell doesn't have a tutor? If it wasn't for Dazhu's sake, do you think I would call you mom?"

"If you are sensible, return the things to me quickly, or I will let everyone in the production team judge and see what you have raised."

Widow Liu was so angry that her eyes turned black, she pointed at her and was speechless.

Liu Aihua cried: "Mom, I really didn't take it."

"It's better not to admit it, okay, just wait for me." After speaking, he rushed out and shouted.

"Big fellows come out to comment. My sister-in-law has stolen from my sister-in-law these days, and she still refuses to admit it. What kind of family am I married to..."

Widow Liu's complexion changed, no matter whether her daughter took it or not, the sister-in-law shouted in the village that she stole something, so how will her daughter behave in the future, how can she marry if her reputation is bad?

Widow Liu had no choice but to rush out, and begged her in a low voice: "Xiaohua, please stop making trouble, what did you lose, can mom compensate you?"

At this time, some people have come out to watch the excitement.

In fact, Bai Xiaohua doesn't want to make a fuss, she just wants to get her beads back, but she spent a lot of effort to get them, even if she can't use them, they will rot in her hands, and she must not take advantage of others .

"A glass marble."

Widow Liu could hardly believe her ears: "What did you say?"

Liu Aihua also rushed out at this time. Unlike Widow Liu, she didn't worry about her reputation at all. Instead, she yelled at the people around her: "Mom, you were asked to judge by the big guys. With her As a sister-in-law?"

"She ordered me to wash the clothes and dry the quilt. Now that she lost a glass bead, she ransacked my mother's room and beat me. Look at my face."

"It's just a tattered bead. If I say I didn't take it, I didn't take it."

During the Chinese New Year, every household in the village rested at home, and now they all came out to watch the fun, and it was incredible to hear this.

"You still say that Da Zhu's daughter-in-law is well-married and she's from the city. Look at her beating up Ai Hua. That's not treating my sister-in-law as a human being."

"What is a marble worth? Aihua is sensible since she was a child, so can she steal it?"

"Did you hear that, is the one who married into the house a daughter-in-law or an ancestor? Let my sister-in-law do all the work."

Bai Xiaohua was obsessed with thinking about the bead, and cursed: "That's not an ordinary bead, it's..."

"What is that? Could it be gold, silver and jewelry." Liu Aihua raised her head stubbornly.

Widow Liu didn't want people to see a joke, so she persuaded: "Xiaohua, it's just a glass bead, if you lose it, mom will buy you another one."

Bai Xiaohua's eyes flashed, and she sneered, "It was given to me by Shumei. It is of commemorative significance. It is a very precious thing to me, and it is different from ordinary beads."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Liu Aihua and said, "Second sister, if you want to play marbles, just tell sister-in-law, but it's wrong to do my things without authorization."

Liu Aihua cried and shouted: "I said it wasn't me, I have never seen that glass bead."

"It's not you, who else, quickly take it out for me, where are you hiding?" After speaking, he was about to peel off Liu Aihua's clothes.

Widow Liu couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to protect her daughter.

Seeing her moving her hand, the villagers who watched the bustle persuaded one after another: "Da Zhu's family, or forget it, a glass bead is gone."

Some people even said: "I have marbles at home, if it doesn't work, I'll give you one."

Bai Xiaohua turned a deaf ear to it and insisted on finding it from Liu Aihua.

Liu Aihua couldn't help screaming being pulled by her sister-in-law and mother.

At this time, Liu Xiaozhu, who had been hiding by the side, cried and shouted: "My sister didn't take your things, but I did."

"The other day you asked the second sister to dry the quilt, and the marbles rolled into the yard. I thought they were thrown by others, so I picked them up and played."

Bai Xiaohua's expression changed, she rushed over and pressed his shoulder and asked, "Where are the beads?"

Liu Xiaozhu was taken aback by her crazy look, and tremblingly said: "I, when I was playing with Goudan, I lost to him."

"God, which dog?" Bai Xiaohua asked forcefully.

Five nicknames of the first ten boys in the village are Goudan.

"The son of Uncle Tie Zhu's family." Liu Xiaozhu still remembered it.

Bai Xiaohua let go of him, turned around and was about to go to Li Tiezhu's house.

Widow Liu rushed up and hugged her: "What the hell are you doing, a marble is gone..."

But Bai Xiaohua threw her away and walked towards Li Tiezhu's house aggressively.

She was very strong, if not for Liu Aihua's support, Widow Liu almost didn't fall to the ground.

The crowd of onlookers also found it strange, and murmured: "Is Dazhu's daughter-in-law crazy, pushing her mother-in-law for a marble, and going to Li Tiezhu's house to make trouble?"

"Looking at the nerves is a bit abnormal."

"Let me tell you, why does a good girl from the city marry in the countryside? Seeing that her hands and feet are complete and her appearance is correct, it turns out that she is out of her mind."

The more the villagers thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her daughter-in-law, Widow Liu asked her daughter to go home with her son, and hurriedly followed.

She is also a hot-blooded person, she used to get into fights with the women in the village, but never during Chinese New Year because of a glass bead!

Sun Shumei still didn't know what happened after she left. She returned to the old Gu's house feeling a little depressed.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Gu Mingdong knew that there must be no agreement, but he felt relieved in his heart.

If Bai Xiaohua put on airs to win over Sun Shumei, it would be difficult for him.

"what happened?"

Sun Shumei sighed, didn't mention what happened at the beginning, just asked: "Cousin, how do you think a person can change so much?"

Gu Mingdong replied meaningfully: "Maybe the she you know is not her long ago."

Sun Shumei didn't understand the meaning behind it, so she said dejectedly: "Yes, in fact, she has changed before, and I have always refused to believe it."

"Then don't think about it." Gu Mingdong patted his cousin's head and said with a smile, "Come and eat an orange, sweet mouth."

Sun Shumei took it, lowered her head and smelled the orange peel, and said pleasantly, "Where did you get it?"

Second Brother Gu said quickly, "My brother found it on the mountain, it's so sweet."

Gu Xiuxiu said in it: "There are wild orange trees in the mountains. I also picked them when I was a child. They are sour, astringent and small. Adong is lucky to find a big and sweet one."

"I'm lucky." Gu Mingdong said with a smile.

Sun Shumei peeled an orange, and the sweet and sour taste came out. She tasted it, squinted her eyes and smiled: "It's so sweet and delicious."

"Are you in a better mood now?" Gu Mingdong joked with a smile.

Sun Shumei compared her little finger: "It's still a little bit worse."

"Then have another one." Gu Mingdong stuffed another one into her hand.

Gu Xiuxiu said again: "Eating one is enough to try something new, and you can keep the rest for yourself."

He also explained: "Don't throw away the orange peels after eating, you can make tea and porridge after drying them."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "There are still some at home, I found the orange nest."

"Really?" Sun Qiang asked curiously, "Where is it, are there any more?"

"It's gone this year." It's the Chinese New Year, and it's snowed again. Isn't it strange that it still exists now.

Gu Mingdong said again: "When you come over next autumn, I will take you to pick them."

"Then it's a deal, I'll definitely come." Sun Qiang said enthusiastically.

"You go to work every day, how can you find time to go up the mountain to pick fruits?"

"I'll just ask for leave." Sun Qiang said.

"Do you not deduct money for leave?" Gu Xiuxiu glared at her son.

"Then I'll come back when I take a break." Sun Qiang insisted.

Gu Xiuxiu shook her head helplessly, and said to Gu Simei who was helping her, "Your cousin is still a year older than A Dong, and A Dong is the father of two children. Child."

Gu Simei said with a smile: "When my cousin gets married and has a child, he will grow up."

Gu Xiuxiu said again: "He has a very high vision. I don't even look down on anyone I introduce to him, and I don't even look at my own conditions. Can a girl with good conditions look up to him?"

Gu Simei couldn't put this into words, she could only listen to her aunt complaining about how disobedient and unreliable her son was, but her daughter was caring.

Under Gu Xiuxiu's help, the old Gu's family's lunch was not a big one.

It wasn't that Gu Mingdong was not willing to let his aunt's family eat good food, but that most of the fish, meat and vegetables brought out were chopped off by Gu Xiuxiu with a big hand.

Gu Mingdong insisted on keeping the remaining half, otherwise she could make a table of vegetables.

While waiting for dinner, Gu Xiuxiu was still nagging: "Adong, I know you want to treat us well, but we are all on our own, so there is no need to be polite."

Gu Mingdong knew that his aunt had good intentions, and he accepted it, but listening to her nagging, he still felt that it was a good thing that she was not his real mother, otherwise he would not be able to bear it in a few days.

Gu Xiuxiu knew nothing about her nephew's slander, and continued to exhort her.

"Your family has a heavy burden, and you can save some good things to eat slowly, so you can't make it all up in one meal."

"Your third uncle doesn't know how to persuade him. I have to talk about him when I go over later."

"Xiao Bei, you are the most sensible in the whole family. You look at your elder brother a little bit. I didn't realize that A Dong is such a spendthrift before."

Hearing this, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family lowered their heads silently, not daring to tell their aunt their "luxury" life these days.

Sun Qiang winked at his cousin, looking like my mother was always nagging, which made Gu Mingdong almost laugh out loud.

Before the meal was finished, a person rushed in from outside: "Adong, is Shumei there, hurry up and follow me."

"What's wrong?" Gu Mingdong asked without knowing why.

The person who came was Li Tiezhu. He frowned and said, "Liu Dazhu's wife is crazy. She is dying at my house because of a glass bead. What's the point of saying it was sent by Shumei?"

"You said that this New Year's Eve is crying and making noise at my house. You are not looking for my family's bad luck."

"Shumei, you and that Bai Xiaohua are good friends, please come and persuade her."

Gu Xiuxiu was surprised when she heard it, but she still said, "Why are there so many troubles during Chinese New Year, Shumei, go over and persuade her."

Sun Shumei pursed her lips and stood up.

Gu Mingdong also put down the bowl: "I'll go with you."

Sun Qiang stopped eating, and went out together: "What glass beads?"

Sun Shumei told the story again.

Sun Qiang scolded immediately: "Is that the time you rummaged on my bed last time?"

Sun Shumei nodded helplessly: "I've never seen her like that bead so much before."

Sun Qiang rolled his eyes: "I think she is sick."

A group of people walked quickly, and from a long distance, they saw a group of onlookers surrounded by the door of Li Tiezhu's house, and Bai Xiaohua's crying sound came from inside.
