After dinner, the family returned to their own rooms tacitly.

"Boss, did you notice something was wrong with your sister-in-law during dinner?"

"Sister-in-law, why am I looking at her? She is my sister-in-law, how can I keep staring at her?"

"Are you stupid? I didn't ask you to look at her appearance. It's her that's wrong. Don't you know what her personality is like? We have lived under the same roof for so many years. I think my sister-in-law must know that the strawberry seedlings are getting fewer and fewer. Maybe she took them."

Yun Er immediately said angrily, "Hongmei, you can't say that. If my elder brother and mother knew about it, without evidence, our family would be in turmoil."

"Oh, I know, that's why I told you this. Don't forget, my sister-in-law has been going back to her parents' home recently. My mother is not very happy. She hasn't been going back as often recently. But she still goes back every now and then."

"Her parents' home is nearby, so there's nothing wrong with going back. Besides, it's normal to go home and see your mother when there's not much work to do. If your parents' home wasn't far away, you might go back more often than my sister-in-law."

Hongmei pinched Yun Er's thigh and said, "I'm telling you the truth, you bastard. How can you say such things? Am I that kind of person?"

"Okay, okay, you're not that kind of person. Go to bed quickly. You still have to go to work tomorrow. There's a lot of work to do recently. You have to finish it early."

"Humph, it's still more comfortable for Big Brother. He's in the capital all day, he's dressed cleanly, and he doesn't have to work in the fields. Why don't you be like Big Brother?"

"You woman, are you done yet? You said that big brother is well dressed, but why don't you say that big brother earns a lot? Big brother earns so much, but the monthly salary still needs to be given to mother. Besides, when we built the house last time, big brother gave a full 100 taels, and you don't have to pay this 100 taels back."

"Hongmei, be content. Big brother treats us well. This family depends on big brother to support it. We can also benefit from his kindness."

Hongmei was so angry that she scolded Yun Er directly on the bed, but Yun Er didn't bother to pay attention to her.

When Yun Da returned to the room, he stared at Qiu Ju blankly.

Qiuju felt frightened by the look on her boss' face.

"Boss, why are you looking at me like that? It makes me feel creepy."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Master, we are an old married couple, there is nothing we can talk about, really. And I often go to the capital to see you, we have been together for a long time, there is nothing to talk about."

"Are you sure you are not hiding anything from me, Qiuju? I am asking you one last time."

Qiuju's heart was shaking, she was very nervous. What on earth did this damn guy know?

"Qiuju, we are husband and wife. Over the years, my Yunda has been pretty good to you, and so has my mother. Overall, we haven't tortured you. You should see how our family treats you."

Qiuju lowered her head, feeling guilty but unable to bear it, otherwise it would be the end.

"Boss, there's really nothing. I really didn't lie to you. There's nothing."

"Then why were you so nervous at dinner that night? I don't know what kind of person you are. If the strawberry seedlings were really stolen, you would be so calm and not say a word."

"You keep telling me if you stole the strawberry seedlings."

"Boss, I don't have any."

Qiu Ju was stubborn and refused to accept the consequences.

Yun Da looked at Qiu Ju, who was as fearless as a dead pig. "Whether you stole or not, I will know after I go to your mother's house. Don't forget, our house is not far from your mother's house. Even if we can't find out now, when the strawberries are ripe, people in the surrounding area will know about it. How can our family not know?"

"Everyone is coveting strawberry seedlings now. If your parents had them, it would definitely spread everywhere. Qiuju, I'm asking you one last time, did you steal them?"

"Boss, what you said is wrong. This is not called stealing, it's called taking. I took it, but I didn't take much, and I gave it to my mother. My mother's family is not an outsider. I only took a little bit, it doesn't affect anything. There are so many strawberry seedlings missing, boss, you can go to my younger sister to get them."

"I have always loved you and treated you well. It is good for all of us. I have no objection if you take some."

Yun Da looked at Qiu Ju with full disappointment.

"I understand that you want to help your parents, but why do you steal? There won't be much left at home after stealing. If you steal and give it to your parents, what will happen to your family next year? Strawberries belong to everyone, not just to our small family. How can I explain to the second and third sons if you ask me to give them to them?"

"Why don't you go ask my little sister for some more? Just a little bit will be enough, okay."

You can talk to mom about this matter, I don’t care.

"Master, please don't, please don't tell mother. I will ask you to divorce me."

"You are scared now, aren't you? Why do you plot against your own family members when you can plot against anyone else?"

"I don't know if you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Do you think the second brother's family didn't notice your performance tonight? The second brother's family has been watching you the whole night. Even mother couldn't help but look at you a few more times."

Qiu Ju panicked, "Boss, what should we do now?"

"It's better to replenish the strawberry seedlings. Go to your mother's house and get them back, and replenish them at home."

"Boss, this is not good. I will be beaten to death by my mother, and scolded to death by my eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother."

"If you can't get the strawberry seedlings back, you will be beaten to death by my mother, and you will also be scolded to death by the second brother's family. Don't you know what kind of tempers they have?"

"Boss, can you please ask my younger sister for help? She has so many seedlings, so why not ask for some? You are my eldest brother, so it's okay for you to ask for some."

Qiuju looked at Yunda pitifully.
