Chapter 14 Testing
"Mom, Sister-in-law has never gotten up so late before, and she didn't even hear her knocking on the door early.
I'm afraid what should I do if something happens? Why don't you go in and take a look? "
"That's right! If you die inside, wouldn't that be bad luck?" Qian cursed viciously, but when he saw the old lady glaring at her, he quickly changed his words:
"I...I mean, if something happens, we can ask a doctor to treat him in time, right? Lest outsiders in the future say that we don't want to save him."
Wang received the hint from Su Qiumei's eyes and hurriedly knocked on the door.
This time, after only two shots, the door was opened.
"Ha! Are you willing to give up? If we don't knock on the door, are you planning to stay in the house all year round?"
When he saw Li Qingluo opening the door and coming out, Qian's tone of voice was as neutral as ever.
"Ms. Li, what's going on with you? No one got up in the morning, and no one opened the door even if you knocked on it." The old lady said with a straight face.
"Mom, you are here just in time. Ling'er and I couldn't go out in the morning. It's not because all the clothes in our cabinet were stolen."
Li Qingluo looked timid and shy: "The clothes we washed last night have just been dried. We can't wear them if they are wet. We have no clothes to wear, so Ling'er and I can't go out."
This is true. Before they fell off the cliff, their baggage disappeared.
"What a liar? Who would steal your rags?" Qian didn't believe it! She didn't even want the clothes given to her, they were so torn that they couldn't be mended.
"That's right. Even if what you said is true, we were outside knocking on the door for so long, why don't you respond to the head office inside?"
Wang also stood up and spoke.
"There are so many people outside. We don't have any clothes to wear and we don't dare to open the door, and we don't dare to speak, for fear that you might break in."
Su Ling huddled timidly behind Li Qingluo, with only half of her head exposed.
"Who would do that kind of thing?" Wang said disdainfully.
"First aunt, second aunt, you know how to do it." Su Ling looked innocent and could not lie.
"you……"
Wang and Qian glared at Su Ling at the same time. This time, Su Ling even shrank half of her head behind Li Qingluo.
"Mom, can you give us some money to buy two changes of clothes? Otherwise, if we don't dry the old clothes we wash tomorrow, we still won't be able to go out."
Li Qingluo ignored Qian and didn't even look at her.
However, when talking to the old lady, the expression and tone should be as imitative as possible.
The old lady didn't believe it and immediately crossed the threshold and entered their house.
The room was very simple, with just a bed and a broken wooden cabinet.
So there was no need to look for it at all. The old lady went up and opened the wooden cabinet, and it was indeed empty inside.
"Why do you wash this outfit when you know you don't have any clothes to change?" the old lady said harshly.
"How can clothes that have been soaked in the rain be washed in time?" Li Qingluo muttered quietly, but the people present could still hear it.
"Is it really stolen?"
Seeing that the entire wooden cabinet was empty, Ms. Wang felt that the thief must have something wrong with his mind.
The clothes are so worn that they cannot be worn anymore, and no one wants them if they are sold. Don’t you know what these junk goods were stolen for?
They have not separated their families, and the old lady is in charge of the family. No matter who earns the money, it must be handed over to the old lady.
Even the handkerchiefs that Li Qingluo usually quietly embroidered were confiscated by the old lady, and she and Su Qiumei took them to the town to sell them for money.
Li Qingluo, in his original form, really didn't have a copper penny in private money.
"From now on, Dagui will officially go to school. There are so many places to spend money at home. How can I have any spare money to buy you some clothes?"
The old lady looked at Mrs. Qian and Ms. Wang beside her: "You all go back and find a set of clothes each for the third daughter-in-law to wear first. Find two pieces of clothes for Da Ya as well."
Although Qian and Wang were very reluctant, if they didn't listen to the old lady, the old lady would have no choice but to use the money to buy new clothes for Li Qingluo and the others.
Why?
As charming as she is, she can still seduce men even if she wears such shabby clothes on weekdays. But if she wears new clothes, what's the point? Therefore, the two of them did not dare to refuse out loud.
The old lady felt that she, just like Mr. Guan, knew how to handle things very well, and she felt proud in her heart.
After dealing with Li Qingluo's problem, she went to Su Ling behind Li Qingluo and said, "Da Ya, Er Ya have already gone to work, why don't you go?"
"Milk, I... I haven't had breakfast yet." Su Ling looked like her original self again, looking timid and aggrieved.
"Who told you to be lazy? It's almost noon, what's the point of having breakfast? There's no breakfast, so hurry up and work for me."
"Mom, it's not that we are lazy, but... we don't... have no clothes to wear when going out."
Li Qingluo was still the same as before, standing weakly in front of the child to protect the child.
Su Ling lowered her head slightly, and under the old lady's strong lust, she could only silently carry her small basket on her back, and then went out to dig wild vegetables.
"You too, go water the vegetable patch. Don't tell me that you can't water with your left hand."
Seeing that Su Ling went out to work, the old lady arranged work for Li Qingluo.
She had forgotten her promise the day before to let her rest and take care of her hands, and to temporarily distribute the work at home to others.
Su Qiumei stood at the edge of the vegetable field, looking at Li Qingluo who was clumsily holding a gourd and gourd with his left hand to water the vegetables in the vegetable field.
He raised his wrist, glanced at the not-so-good bracelet, and walked towards Li Qingluo.
"Third sister-in-law."
Li Qingluo stopped watering the water in his hands and looked at her, with doubts in his beautiful eyes.
"Third sister-in-law, is this bracelet really the one your mother left for you?" Su Qiumei pulled up her sleeves to expose the bracelet on her wrist.
Li Qingluo glanced at the bracelet, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes. It just passed by so quickly that Su Qiumei didn't notice it at all.
Li Qingluo suddenly looked at Su Qiumei in surprise: "Sister-in-law, have you figured out that you want to return the only thought my mother left to me?"
Li Qingluo looked extremely happy, threw the gourd and ladle into the barrel, and stretched out his left hand to pull Su Qiumei's bracelet-wearing hand.
"No." Su Qiumei answered quickly, put her hands back even faster, and took a step back with her feet.
"Sister-in-law, the quality of this bracelet is not very good, and it is not a valuable thing, but it is the only thought my mother left for me.
If you like it, when I save enough money to buy you a better one, you can return this to Ling'er, right?
It's a pity that she has grown so old and hasn't been able to see what her grandmother looks like? This bracelet allows Ling'er to wear it, and it also allows Ling'er to feel the last bit of care given to her by her elders. "
Li Qingluo spoke very sincerely, and his eyes were full of desire to get the bracelet back.
So soon, Li Qingluo started to try to trick her into changing the bracelet back?
They must not have thought of it, right? She is no longer the stupid original person.
