The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly turned around and saw Hu Changlin holding a plate of food in his hand. The food was smoking hot and giving off a tempting aroma, making their bellies growl in hunger.
“I’m asking what are you doing here? Are you stealing things?” Hu Changlin asked with frowned eyebrows.
Hu Changlin’s voice was not small. Hu Feng and Bai Zhi, who were in the backyard heard his voice, which made the two rushed to the front house.
Hu Changlin was standing outside Hu Feng’s room with the dumplings. Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu were standing inside Hu Changling’s room.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and said: “Are you insane? You came here to steal money? And you really look for a chance when no one was inside the room.”Old Lady Bai busily said: “What are you talking about? Who’s stealing? Have you seen us stealing money?”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “Why would you go inside the room if you’re not going to steal money? And aside from money, what else can you steal here?”
Mrs. Liu busily added: “We came to see Zhao Lan when suddenly, we heard some movement inside the room, so we came to look at it. It was just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
Only a fool will not understand the meaning of Mrs. Liu’s words. They went inside the room, clearly to catch an intimate act.
Zhao Lan, who was standing in the back couldn’t help but blush. She took a glanced at Hu Changlin looking all embarrassed. Hu Changlin was more embarrassed to look at Zhao Lan.
Bai Zhi didn’t get angry, she calmly looked at Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu and said: “I know very clearly what you two are thinking. But remember, Hu Bo is a widow, my niang is also a widow. If they will really have a relationship in the future, it is understandable. But, it has nothing to do with you people, right?”
Zhao Lan’s face reddens even more and hurriedly pulled Bai Zhi’s sleeve: “Zhi’er, what are you talking about. Stop talking nonsense.”Old Lady Bai knew that things were getting worse, so she simply let aside what happened: “Don’t speak like that, we came here for something else.”
Hu Changlin turned around and placed the dumplings on the table. And in order to avoid embarrassment, he simply went to the courtyard.
Hu Feng also went back to the kitchen to watch over the fire and prevent the water for the dumplings to boil.
As soon as Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu came out from the room, their eyes stared at the dumplings on the table. In the end, they couldn’t help but ask: “What are these? How come it smells so good?”
Bai Zhi replied: “These are what we will eat for dinner. It’s not only fragrant but also taste very good. Compared to wild vegetables, I can’t say how many times it tastes much better.”
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: “That’s for sure. This white thing is naturally much better than wild vegetables.” Unfortunately, their family can’t even eat wild vegetables.
Zhao Lan doesn’t want to continue talking nonsense with them. She asked directly: “Why are you looking for me? Say it.”
Mrs. Liu stared at the old lady. Although she came together with her and can open her mouth to talk. This old lady was after all the elder. Zhao Lan has to give her a face.
Old Lady Bai coughed and forced herself to smile. Her smile looked very ugly than her crying face.
“This is the case, our family’s rice has been emptied. Your second sister-in-law didn’t say anything about it earlier. And now it’s very late to buy even if we wanted to. So, we came here to you to borrow a bit.”
Bai Zhi sneered: “Borrow a bit? I wonder what exactly do you mean about a bit?” She really wanted to know, what does a bit mean to this old woman’s mouth.
