Shengnan's mother wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly: "Shengnan, don't blame mother. She was raised by both father and mother. Your uncle's family is my mother's family. They are having a hard time, and I feel sad..."

"Mom, you feel sad, so you shouldn't use the things my father-in-law's family sent to support my uncle's family!" Xiang Shengnan said heartbrokenly, "Growing up, when you went back to your uncle's house to visit relatives, you would hide things in the basket.

Yes, we won’t even tell you,”

"When you go to your uncle's house for dinner, you either bring your brother or me, never both of you together."

"Why? You are afraid that if we two boys eat together and eat too much, my aunt and the others will feel distressed and unhappy."

"Life in our Xiang family must be tight. Duo'er is married off, so you think that our family's life is better and prosperous, so you have to support your uncle's family. Aren't you trying to make a fool of yourself! You asked me to marry my husband

They don’t have any face over there!”

Sheng Nan's wife came to Yang Huazhong crying and said in a low voice: "My father-in-law, I'm sorry, this is none of Sheng Nan's business. I was confused. I will apologize to you..."

Yang Huazhong looked coldly and waved his hand: "We know in our hearts whether this matter is none of Shengnan's business and we don't need you to say it."

Ms. Sheng wanted to apologize, but the cattle dealer came to her and Yang Huazhong and interrupted her: "Don't say anything. If you really admit your mistake, you must tell the truth how many times those chickens were sent to your mother's house."

?”

Miss Sheng hesitated: "No, not much..."

The cattle dealer turned to Xiang's father who was cowering in the mouth of the stove and shouted: "If she doesn't tell you, tell her!"

Xiang's father opened his mouth, but when he saw Sheng's wife's sharp gaze, he shut his mouth again.

The cattle dealer snorted coldly: "Jinnan is gone, and you only have a son, Shengnan. If you still want someone to take care of you until you die, you'd better tell the truth!"

Xiang's father trembled, and immediately raised his hands and said: "I told you, I told you that the woman sent five live chickens to her mother's house, and also gave a piece of green satin material to make clothes for her brother.

, a piece of lotus-colored cloth for her natal sister-in-law."

"As for whether she stuffed the money, I don't know. You have to question her about this!"

When Miss Sheng heard this, she jumped up like a cat that had stepped on its tail: "What are you talking about? It's nothing!"

"Those two pieces of cloth were Duo'er's dowry. They were buried under the box. Did you find them?" Xiang Shengnan was shocked.

Sheng Nan's mother waved her hands repeatedly, "Sheng Nan, don't listen to your father, he is talking nonsense..."

"I'm not lying. I saw with my own eyes that you folded the cloth and hid it in the basket. The basket couldn't fit it, and you even took out a piece of it. Then you wrapped it in your coat and went out in a panic..."

Sheng's wife rushed over to stop Xiang's father. Xiang's father was so frightened that he ran to hide behind the cattle dealer, shouting: "Brother, save me..."

The cattle dealer stood forward, and Sheng Nan Niang bumped into his iron-hard chest.

The man and his wife were so overcome with pain that stars appeared in their eyes and the world was spinning.

"If you still call this place your home, then go back to your parents' house and bring me those five chickens and two pieces of cloth!" The cattle dealer pointed at Sheng Nan's nose and said sternly.

Miss Sheng looked at a loss and spread her hands: "Brother, you are deliberately trying to embarrass me. They probably ate the chicken and threw it into the toilet. How should I get it?"

"If you eat it, you can convert it into money and take it back. Otherwise, you won't come back to this house!" the cattle dealer said, being unselfish and without any room for negotiation.

Sheng's wife cried and wiped away her tears, then sat down on the ground.

Yang Huazhong frowned, "Forget the five chickens, we still have to get back the two pieces of cloth. That's the dowry we gave Duo'er. There can't be any mistakes!"

In Yang Huazhong's opinion, two pieces of cloth are not actually worth much money, but they have a different meaning. They are dowry.

Therefore, the Yang family must show their attitude. Otherwise, this time Mr. and Mrs. Sheng stole the cloth and was lucky to be spared. Next time, she may have her mind set on Duo'er's jewelry. She must not condone it.

The cattle dealer also understood what Yang Huazhong meant, and his face became more and more ugly. He pointed at Sheng's wife's nose and said word by word: "Two pieces of cloth must not be missing an inch. If you miss an inch, I will make the decision and let my brother divorce you!"

After saying these words, the cattle dealer patted Yang Huazhong on the shoulder, and the two left together.

Father Xiang weighed the situation and said, "Brother, father-in-law, wait for me!" He also ran after him as if running for his life.

Only Sheng's wife and Xiang Sheng's mother and son were left in the kitchen.

Sheng Nan's wife was crying with runny nose and tears, and said to Xiang Shengnan: "If you throw water on something you gave away, and then ask me to get it back, isn't this deliberately making me lose face? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

What’s the point of my life..."

Xiang Shengnan looked at his mother with an indifferent expression: "Your face is more important than your life. My face is just the soles of my shoes, right?"

"Hurry up and get it back. At least I still have an explanation to my father-in-law's house, otherwise, you will just treat me as your son!"

Xiang Shengnan left without looking back, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Sheng lying on the ground, crying, beating, acting violently, and saying things like seeking death and living.

However, the shouting broke her throat, and except for a few neighbors who came to watch the fun, none of the people she was looking forward to showed up.

…

Xiang Shengnan naturally told Xiaoduo the whole matter.

Xiaoduo was dumbfounded.

I immediately put on my shoes and got out of bed, opened the box, and after searching, I found that... four pieces of cloth were missing.

"Sheng Nan, your father didn't look carefully. There are four pieces of cloth missing in total, and there are two pieces that were given to me by my sister. One is colorful cotton silk for summer, and the other is wool cloth that she brought back a while ago.

I originally planned to save the woolen cloth and make it for you and your uncle to wear undergarments when I am one month old. I heard it is very warm, but I won’t use it now."

Xiaoduo sneered, put down these words and went back to bed, pulling the quilt to cover her legs.

He looked at Xiang Shengnan with cold eyes: "If we can't find the cloth, we won't have to live longer."

Hearing Xiaoduo's words, Xiang Shengnan's expression suddenly changed.

He remembered the last time when Sister Qing'er brought the woolen cloth back, he helped Xiaoduo put it into the cage with his own hands, because at that time Xiaoduo had a big belly and it was inconvenient to move it.

Xiang Shengnan came to the box and cage, leaned over and searched carefully, and found that it was not there.

"I'm furious!"

He turned around and ran into the main room, where he told the cattle dealer and Xiang Fu again about the matter.

The cattle dealer was so angry that he threw a tea bowl.

"Katsuo, you go to the old house again and tell your mother that you want her to go back to her mother's house now, immediately, to get those cloths back, or else she won't come back to this house!" said the cattle dealer.

Xiang Shengnan's eyes were so anxious that his eyes were red, "She is probably going to shirk her in every possible way. Even if she does go back, my two uncles and aunts will immediately brainwash her again with a few words. Someone must go with her!
