After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 197 Uninvited Guests Break the Rules

Feng Zhuanxia bought a lock that day, the kind that comes with four keys.

She gave each family member a key and repeatedly reminded them to remember to lock the door when they went out.

In addition, she also found a heavy locust wood, placed it at the door, and bolted the door from the inside at all times.

Although the people in the village didn't say anything, they actually knew it in their hearts. Almost every family had done this kind of thing of looking for a fortune teller.

The only difference is that they don’t know which Yin and Yang the Zhao Yang family is looking for, or which aspect is being adjusted.

Feng Zhuanxia also called her sister Feng Zhuanqin and eldest daughter Zhao Mei, asking them not to come to their home in the near future.

For two weeks the weather was calm.

Monday of the third week.

After breakfast, Zhao Hongcai went to the fields, and Feng Zhuanxia took Zhao Lan to the market.

Guan Lei is the only one at home.

She was quite bored sitting there, so she took out some cloth and needle and thread, preparing to learn how to make small clothes and shoes for the baby in her belly.

She had never done any of this before.

Just as she was holding the scissors and had no idea where to start with the cloth, the door opened.

She was startled and quickly put down the scissors and walked out quickly, only to see her mother Zhang Caihe had already walked into the yard.

She looked at the bolt, which was standing neatly in the corner.

She just went outside to use the toilet, and she remembered that she had clearly locked the door. Could she have remembered it wrong?

She really regretted not calling her mother to tell her about it a while ago.

She asked hurriedly, "Mom, why are you here? Didn't you see the red cloth bag on the top of the gate?"

"I see. Has the family been unlucky lately?"

Guan Lei originally wanted to tell her mother the whole story, but then she remembered Lao Yin Yang's advice that this should not be told to anyone.

She couldn't push her mother out, especially since she was already in.

All she wanted now was to get her mother away quickly and not let Feng Zhuanxia and the others see her.

"It was Zhao Yang's mother who did it. I'm not sure what happened. Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Alas." Zhang Caihe took off her straw hat and threw it on the windowsill outside the window. She sat down on the steps, sighed, and said, "Xiaojie ranked last in the exam again. He failed both Chinese and math."

Just to talk about this specifically?

Guan Lei was very depressed, but she smiled and said, "Xiao Jie is still young. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he will naturally study hard. He is so smart, he will catch up soon."

Zhang Caihe nodded with satisfaction.

"Mom, don't we have a telephone at home? You can call me to tell me about these things. I feel bad for you coming all the way here."

Zhang Caihe waved her hand and said, "It's not about this. I want to talk about something else. Actually, I also thought about calling, but I was afraid that Zhao Yang's parents would hear it."

"What's the matter, mom? Tell me now."

"Do you think I was deceived?"

"Oh, mom, please tell me clearly, who lied to you?"

Zhang Caihe sat on the steps and said, "Do you remember what I told you last time? That guy named Gu gave me 200 yuan, and later I lent it to Yuanhang who worked with him."

"Remember," Guan Lei nodded, "Hasn't he sent you money yet?"

Zhang Caihe shook her head and said, "I've been going to the post office every day recently. Everyone there knows me. He clearly said it would take three to five days, but it's already been more than ten days. Can you pour me a glass of water? I've been walking for so long, and my mouth is a little dry."

Guan Lei quickly went into the house and poured a glass of water, then said, "Mom, I think you should go to the county town again and ask him in person."

"I thought so too." Zhang Caihe took a sip of water. "How are you? Are you vomiting again?"

"Much better." Guan Lei's whole mind was on how to get her mother to leave quickly, and she didn't want to say anything more.

"Where are the other people at home? Are Zhao Yang's parents in good health?"

"All good." Guan Lei scratched her head and said, "Mom, why don't you go to the county town now? Today is Monday, and the Water Conservancy Bureau usually has a meeting. Gu Errong and the others should be there."

"Today? It's too rushed. It will be noon when we get to the county town."

"Noon is perfect. Let Gu Errong treat you to another big meal." Guan Lei said quickly, "Also, Mom, if they don't pay, you should stay in their office and go directly to their leader in the afternoon. They will definitely be scared."

Zhang Caihe nodded, finally stood up, patted the dirt off her butt, and put on her straw hat.

She looked around and asked, "What are Zhao Yang's parents doing? When will they be back?"

"His father went to the fields, and his mother and sister went to the market. Mom, you should leave quickly, or you will miss the bus to work."

Zhang Caihe suddenly said, "They should have killed a pig for the New Year. Can you give me a bowl of pork?"

Guan Lei was a little hesitant.

She herself knew that Zhao Yang's family did have a small jar of sliced ​​pickled meat, but pork was usually solidified into chunks, and if you scooped out a bowl, you would quickly see traces.

But she couldn't refuse directly, fearing that her mother would think she had no status in the Zhao family, so she said, "Mom, aren't you going to the county town? It's not convenient to carry the pork with you. I'll give it to you next time I come back to our house."

"It's okay. I have a box here. You can put it in this."

As she spoke, Zhang Caihe took out an empty plastic box with a lid from the cloth bag.

"Okay, I'll help you serve it then."

"You don't have much strength, so take the jar. I'll do it myself." As she said that, Zhang Caihe had already walked towards the kitchen.

She dug hard in the jar of pork, wishing she could dig out all the pork.

After packing the pork, she pulled out the vegetable basket from under the chopping board, grabbed two handfuls of peppers and cowpeas, and said, "The vegetables bought in the county town taste different. Last time, Zhao Yang's mother gave me some. After I fried them, I basically let Xiao Jie eat them all by himself."

Guan Lei really wanted to say that Zhao Yang was not in the county recently, and they no longer bought vegetables in the county. The vegetables at home were all picked from their own fields.

But she didn't say it. She would rather let her mother think that their family was wealthy and prosperous.

Guan Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief after she finally sent Zhang Caihe out.

She bolted the door quickly, her heart pounding like crazy.

Alas, regarding today’s incident, I don’t know if this can be considered as breaking the old Yin-Yang rules.

If the rules are broken, will it affect the fetus in her belly?

She couldn't help but touch her belly and comfort herself: She is my mother, not an outsider, so she should be fine. Besides, didn't Old Yin Yang say that day that it had become a son?

She ran to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pork jar and took a look, then used a spatula to smooth the surface to make sure it would not be seen before returning to the house.

After finally cutting out a rough shape based on my own clothes, there was a knock on the door.
