    Chapter 120 Troubled

    Sister-in-law Duan sighed: "It's hard to say anything." After a pause, "Do you have time?"

    "Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and talk to a few children."

    Sister-in-law Duan: "Then I won't go in."

    Song Zhaodi nodded, walked into the room and ran upstairs. Seeing the seven children huddled together on a bed listening to Zili reading the storybook, she couldn't help frowning: "ZiLi, did the eldest child ask you to read it? Don't let Zili read it. people think."

    "I don't know how to read." Sanwa said suddenly.

    Song Zhaodi twisted his face, "I'll find you a storybook with pinyin notes tomorrow, I'll see if you recognize it. By the way, I almost forgot, I'm going out with your grandma Liu, You may not be able to come back at noon, so if you are hungry, make your own food, don't wait for your dad, he doesn't know when he will be back."

    "What's wrong?" The big baby slid off the bed.

    Song Zhaodi went to her and Zhong Jianguo's room next door, took out the cloth bag, and took all the change in the money box: "I don't know, maybe something happened to Liu Ping."

    Da Wa followed downstairs: "Aunt Liu Ping doesn't like you, why did Grandma Liu let you go?"

    "Your grandma Liu's relatives are not around. Our family has a close relationship with her. Of course you have to come to me if something happens." Song Zhaodi said, "If something happens to Liu Ping and your grandma Liu looks for me, then you don't treat me as an outsider. Son, There's no shame in the family. Do you understand?"

    The big baby nodded: "When you go out, I'll lock the door?"

    "Lock it." Song Zhaodi said, "Be careful when cooking, don't make trouble."

    The big knife at home was sharpened by Zhong Jianguo, and the eldest child was very careful. Once, when cutting potatoes, he still cut it in his hand. It took a few days to recover, and the eldest child did not dare to make a fool of himself: "Don't worry, I am twelve years old."

    "Let's go, Xiao Song." Sister Duan said, "Daddy, take a good look at the house, and I'll buy you something delicious when you come back."

    Da Wa pouted, "I've eaten all the delicious food in Yongcheng, so that's it."

    Sister-in-law Duan choked, nodded at him, and gritted her teeth: "It's all your mother is used to. Your dad has to beat you."

    "Then you won't be able to see him for the rest of your life." Dawa locked the door, waved at Song Zhaodi and ran into the house, not giving Sister Duan a chance to scold him.

    Sister-in-law Duan glanced at him and turned around: "Xiao Song, why don't you say a word to him?"

    "The child is still young, it'll be good when he grows up." Song Zhaodi said, "I talk too much now, and he still thinks I'm nagging. Auntie, what happened?"

    Sister-in-law Duan sighed: "It's a long story. I'll tell you when we get to Yongcheng."

    Wengzhou Island looks quite big, but there are not many people on the island. She and Sister Duan have been on the island for so many years, and almost all the staff on the ship know them.

    Song Zhaodi understood that Sister Duan was afraid of spreading the word, so she stopped asking.

    When the two arrived in Shencheng, instead of going directly to Liu Ping's house, they went to the cooperative to buy something.

    Song Zhaodi asked, "Go to the hospital or go home?"

    "At home." Sister-in-law Duan said, "The matter of Liu Ping has to be talked about years ago. Didn't Liu Wei come back last year? When Liu Ping and Xiao Jin came home, they told her in-laws that when Liu Wei grew up, she I don't know. I don't know how to say it. Anyway, Liu Ping's sister-in-law wants to introduce someone to Liu Wei.

    "On the second day of the new year, Liu Ping and Xiaojin came back to tell me about this. I told Liu Ping, you should make it clear to your mother-in-law and sister-in-law that if the girl marries Liu Wei now, the couple will have to live in separate places. Liu Ping said that she Sister-in-law knows. Today, Xiao Jin suddenly called me and said that Liu Ping had a miscarriage. It was still the phone from the hospital. "

    Song Zhaodi was stunned: "Flow, flow?"

    "Liu Ping didn't say anything about her pregnancy when she came during the Chinese New Year. I guess she was young and she didn't know about it." Sister Duan said, "Xiaojin said on the phone that because of Liu Wei's object, Liu Ping told his sister-in-law. During the quarrel, her sister-in-law accidentally pushed Liu Ping away."

    Song Zhaodi sneered: "Liu Ping's health is good, and ordinary petty troubles can't hurt her at all."

    "Oh, I also thought of it." Sister Duan said, "That's why I asked you to go with me."

    Song Zhaodi accompanied Mrs. Duan to Liu Ping's house. Seeing that the house and courtyard were full of people, there were more than a dozen people, men, women and children, so she asked Mrs. Duan to go in, and she stayed outside.

    The woman in her 60s handed Song Zhaodi a bench. Song Zhaodi glanced at it lightly and didn't answer, but asked, "Who is Liu Ping's sister-in-law?"

    Mother Jin was embarrassed: "this lesbian, if you have something to say, let's sit down and talk."

    "Don't dare to sit." Song Zhaodi said, "I'm afraid you will push me."

    Mother Jin blushed: "Who are you?"

    "It's also Liu Ping's sister-in-law." Song Zhaodi said, "Xiaojin from your family should have told you that there is Captain Zhong in the east of Master Liu's house, and I am the lover of Captain Zhong. My eldest sister is Liu Ping's sister-in-law. Come. On the way, my aunt asked me to help her ask you if there is anything the family can't sit down and talk about."

    "I am also kind." A woman in her thirties who was half a head shorter than Song Zhaodi suddenly came out.

    Song Zhaodi frowned. This woman is not as tall as Liu Ping, yet she can actually push Liu Ping down? Looking at her hands again, they are very rough, and she immediately understands that she is used to heavy work and has strong hands: "Then tell me how you are so kind."

    "Little Song, Liu Ping said that the person she introduced to Liu Wei is similar to me." Sister Duan said, "Short, dark and thin, the key point is that she is two years older than Liu Wei. Liu Ping was angry, and the two quarreled. "

    Song Zhaodi put her arms around her chest and asked with a smile, "How much benefit did that girl's family give you?"

    "I, no, don't talk nonsense!" The woman's face flashed panic.

    Song Zhaodi raised her brows, but she guessed it correctly: "Then I won't say it. Although there are not many people in the police station and the court, there are still police and judges. Let's go talk to the police. Killing pays for life, what about the judge? Judgment will be judged."

    "I can't, I can't." Jin Mu's face changed greatly, "My daughter-in-law didn't do it on purpose."

    Song Zhaodi raised her hand and slapped the middle-aged woman on the face.

    With a bang, everyone was stunned, including Sister Duan.

    Song Zhaodi rubbed her hands and said coolly, "I'm sorry, my hands are slippery." Then she turned to Jin Mu, "I didn't mean to, Auntie, can you forgive me."

    Mother Jin opened her mouth and found she was speechless.

    "You—" A man sprang from behind Jin Lihui.

    Song Zhaodi took a step back subconsciously: "This eldest brother, let me remind you that the crime of beating a military family member is not small."

    The man stopped suddenly: "You, are you unreasonable?"

    "Then tell me first, your daughter-in-law is unreasonable." Song Zhaodi said, "If you push a miscarriage, the family of the family will come to you, and without first apologizing, come up and say 'I am also a kindhearted', is this a human word?" Turning to Jin Lihui's father, "Uncle, what do you think?"

    The gray-haired Jin father blushed: "It's my daughter-in-law who is ignorant."

    "When did it happen?" Song Zhaodi asked.

    Jin's father: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Because Liu Ping said that she would go back to her parents' home on the sixteenth of the first lunar month. My second daughter-in-law listened to what she said, so I brought the girl over and asked Liu Ping'er to take her to meet her mother-in-law tomorrow."

    "I thought it was two days earlier." Song Zhaodi sneered, "Why did Xiaojin call now?"

    Sister-in-law Duan came out of the room again: "Liu Ping said that she thought Xiao Jin had already told me. Today they had a dispute over something, and only knew that I didn't know. Liu Ping asked him to call."

    Song Zhaodi was speechless: "If Liu Ping doesn't know, do your family plan to keep hiding it? Do you think you can hide such a big thing? Or do you plan to delay it until Liu Ping's anger subsides and let it go with the wind. ?"

    Father Jin lowered his head.

    Song Zhaodi didn't like Liu Ping and stood up for Liu Ping, just because Mrs. Duan would never quarrel with others. But seeing the attitude of the Jin family, Song Zhaodi was really angry, she turned to Sister Duan and said, "Auntie, you are here, I will go to the police!"

    "No!" Jin Mu subconsciously grabbed Song Zhaodi's arm.

    There is a saying that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off housework. Song Zhaodi was very angry, saying this was just to frighten the Jin family, her arm was grabbed, and she stopped: "Then what do you say? With Liu Ping's body, he might be a big fat boy again in eight months. It's gone, that's it?"

    Children at this age are not precious. Because of the poor medical level and living conditions, a woman's abortion is a very small thing in the eyes of most people.

    Song Zhaodi did this, and the Jin family felt that she was on the line. But she was afraid of angering Song Zhaodi and didn't know what to do, so Jin Mu said, "We will listen to you."

    "Auntie, you go and ask Liu Ping." Song Zhaodi said, "She can do what she says."

    Liu Ping came out of the room and asked her sister-in-law to pour her tea and admit her mistake.

    Song Zhaodi frowned, trying to remind her that this was not possible. Thinking that Liu Ping didn't like her in the first place, he opened his mouth and swallowed it back.

    Sister-in-law Duan grabbed Liu Ping's clothes and reminded her that it was inappropriate.

    Liu Ping glared at Sister Duan.

    Sister-in-law Duan sighed and pretended not to hear.

    The Jin family knew that Mrs. Duan was easy to talk, and it was not surprising to see her dragging Liu Ping.

    Mother Jin looked at Song Zhaodi, and when she saw that she was not talking, she thought she supported Liu Ping in doing so. Song Zhaodi was too difficult to deal with. Mother Jin didn't dare to fight her again, so she pushed the second daughter-in-law: "Go ahead."

    "I'm dead!" the woman howled.

    Song Zhaodi snorted: "Wait a minute, let's go to the police station before you die, so that outsiders don't think that our Liu family drove you to death, and then your man will carry your body to Wengzhou Island to make trouble."

    The woman couldn't believe it.

    Song Zhaodi looked around and found that Liu Ping's house had a high wall, and she couldn't see if anyone was outside: "Xiaojin, go to the police station and call the police over to give us a testimony. It is said that the military family invited them to come over. ."

    Seeing her serious expression, Jin Lihui didn't seem to be joking: "Sister-in-law, this is not necessary."

    "It's very necessary." Song Zhaodi said, "Our family Liu Wei is not married yet, and it is rumored that Mr. Liu's relatives have forced Liu Ping's in-law's sister-in-law to death. Who would dare to marry Liu Wei?"

    Sister-in-law Duan has really encountered the case of carrying a body to someone else's house to corrupt money. When Song Zhaodi said this, Sister-in-law Duan was also afraid: "Xiao Song, I, let me go."

    ###Song Zhaodi repeatedly mentioned "police" and "military family", but to scare the Jin family. Sister-in-law Duan is sincere, but Song Zhaodi dare not let her go. When the police were called, they were nothing more than scolding Jin Lihui's second sister-in-law, "Does my aunt know where the police station is?"

    Sister-in-law Duan shook her head and looked for her daughter-in-law: "Xiao Jin should know, ask Xiao Jin to go with me."

    "My mother..." Being a mother seriously, Mother Jin was really scared. "My mother, her sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose, and we don't know that Liu Ping is pregnant. We can do whatever you say about this, isn't it okay?"

    Sister-in-law Duan didn't want to make it known to everyone, so she asked Song Zhaodi, "Xiao Song, what do you think?"

    Song Zhaodi thought that Liu Ping was not my daughter, and it was useless how I looked at it: "Auntie, Liu Ping's child is gone, we should respect what Liu Ping meant."

    "Liu Ping, we don't know about the child in advance." Jin Lihui walked to Liu Ping's side, "Second sister-in-law really didn't do it on purpose. Second sister-in-law also told you modestly before."

    Liu Ping snorted: "Song Zhaodi slapped her and gave her a slap in the face. You ask her if her face hurts now."

    "The slap print is still there." Jin Lihui had a hidden meaning, and knew she was in pain without asking.

    Liu Ping sneered twice: "Even if she doesn't know I'm pregnant, she introduces a woman who is not a ghost or a ghost to my brother, what does she feel at ease? When our Liu family is collecting rubbish?"

    Jin Lihui was speechless.

    "Your second sister-in-law doesn't know either." Jin Mu said, "your second sister-in-law only met that girl that day."

    Liu Ping looked at her mother-in-law: "Who are you lying to me? Do you really think that there are two women in my family's family, and my family's family is gone?"

    "Don't talk about these useless things, it's all over." Song Zhaodi frowned slightly, "Liu Ping, your mother called your father when she came out, and we told your father to get back before twelve o'clock. If we don't Go back and find your father again, because of your father's temperament, you have to go without going to the police station."

    Liu Ping looked at her mother-in-law: "I don't want to talk about this either. Pour tea and admit your mistake, be sincere, and forget about it."

    "Okay, okay." Mother Jin turned to face the second daughter-in-law, "The second one, if you don't apologize, I'll leave you alone."

    The hard times of 1960 have come through. Seeing that life is getting better and better, Jin Lihui's sister-in-law doesn't want to die. screamed dead just now, but it was just to scare Song Zhaodi and Sister-in-law Duan.

    Song Zhaodi didn't want to eat her, so she was ready to pour tea and admit her mistake. But she didn't want to admit her mistake or be crushed by Liu Ping, so she never let go.

    After the mother-in-law said this, Jin Lihui's second sister-in-law stopped making trouble, and honestly poured tea and admitted her mistake.

    Seeing that Liu Ping was very proud, Song Zhaodi wanted to go back, so she asked Mrs. Duan, "Auntie, should we go back now or in the afternoon?"

    Mother Jin subconsciously wanted to say that she would go back after lunch. When the words reached his lips, he suddenly thought of "Master Liu", he swallowed it quickly, and pushed Jin Lihui.

    Jin Lihui staggered for a while, and went to Sister Duan: "Mom, can I send it to you?"

    "No need." Song Zhaodi really wanted to curse after hearing him say that. But Liu Ping treasured him, Song Zhaodi was too lazy to make enemies for himself, "It's not far from the dock."

    Mother Jin: "Ask Xiao Jin and his eldest brother to see you off, so you don't have to walk."

    Song Zhaodi looked at Sister-in-law Duan and asked silently, can you go back?

    Sister-in-law Duan nodded, resisting the urge to sigh.
