Xie Wanxing saw through Liu's guilty conscience. She pouted her lips in a dramatic way and pinched her thigh hard while Liu wasn't paying attention. She burst into tears and said, "I won't! I want to eat egg custard today!"
Liu was suddenly panicked and looked at the crying Xie Wanxing at a loss. Zhou was also startled by Xie Wanxing's crying. She looked at the crying child and felt a little distressed in her heart.
"Xingxing, Third Aunt is going to make egg custard for you, just wait." As she said that, she was going to go home to get eggs. All the eggs in the house belonged to the public, and logically she shouldn't take them privately, but she really couldn't bear to see Xie Wanxing crying like that.
When Liu saw that Zhou was about to leave, she didn't care about Xie Wanxing anymore and immediately went out to chase her.
"What are you doing? Children forget things quickly. Just comfort her. Go home and get her some eggs. Are you eager for mom to know about this right away?"
"Second sister-in-law, do you think you can keep your story a secret? Xingxing is crying like this, Songlin and the others will be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Songlin, who knew that the moment he spoke, the devil would appear, he entered the courtyard. Seeing his two sisters-in-law arguing at the door, he looked puzzled.
"Daddy..." Xie Wanxing heard the voice of Xie Songlin coming back, and she rushed out immediately with a spirit of acting. Her small figure was like a bullet shot out of a gun, running quickly towards Xie Songlin. She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, her little mouth was slightly pouting, and she hugged Xie Songlin's thighs and cried non-stop.
Xie Lan and the others also looked at their sister worriedly, wondering why she was crying like this after only being at home for one day.
"Oh, Ah Xing, what happened?" Xie Songlin picked up his daughter. Xie Wanxing leaned her little head on Xie Songlin's shoulder and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"The eldest aunt stole something from the kitchen and gave it to Liu Yin, and the third aunt couldn't stop her."
Xie Songlin understood immediately, but he didn't react on his face. He gently patted Xie Wanxing's back to comfort her. Cheng Hui also heard her daughter crying and ran out.
Cheng Hui asked, "What happened? Why is Ah Xing crying like this?"
Liu was still trying to cover up and smooth things over: "It's okay, it's okay. I was just too busy today and forgot to make steamed egg custard for Xingxing. The child got angry and started crying."
"Oh, it's just a bowl of egg custard. Let her eat it. I'll go make it for her now." Cheng Hui knew her daughter was making a big deal, so she said cooperatively, "Little greedy cat, don't cry. Mommy will make it for you now."
"Hey, sister-in-law, it's too late now." Liu stopped Cheng and said, "The child has a weak stomach and it will be difficult for her to digest egg custard. Let's make it for her tomorrow."
The excuse she gave was so lame that Xie Songlin and Cheng Hui looked at each other and their eyes twitched slightly.
"It's okay, Ah Xing has a good stomach." Cheng Hui also found an abstract reason to follow her, "She can digest it."
She didn't care what Liu continued to say and went into the kitchen. Of course, she knew she wouldn't be able to find any eggs, so she just walked around for nothing and came out.
"Huh!" Cheng Hui, also feeling a bit of drama, raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion. "Didn't you just buy a big basket of eggs yesterday? Are you eating them all today?"
Xie Wanxing heard her mother's clumsy performance and laughed so hard in Xie Songlin's shoulder. Others thought she was still crying, but they didn't know that her little body was trembling slightly as she tried hard to restrain herself from laughing out loud.
"What's going on? Why are you blocking the door instead of going in?" It turned out to be Old Lady Shen.
"Why is mom here?" Xie Songlin was a little surprised and put Xie Wanxing down. Xie Wanxing was still a little reluctant, with a look of grievance on her little face.
"Axing is greedy and keeps asking for egg custard, but I can't find the big basket of eggs I bought yesterday." Xie Songlin explained helplessly to Grandma Shen.
When Old Lady Shen heard this, her face immediately darkened, and she almost immediately glared at Liu.
"How could something in the kitchen disappear for no reason?" Old Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, "Liu, can you tell me what's going on?"
Liu was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she stammered, "Mother, I...I don't know."
"Today I saw an uncle taking a basket of eggs out of my house." Xie Wanxing added a handful of firewood at the right time.
"Ms. Liu, why don't you tell the truth?" Mrs. Shen's tone was full of threats. Ms. Liu was so scared that she fell to her knees on the ground.
"Mother, I was wrong." Liu cried, her voice trembling, "I took that basket of eggs."
Xie Songlin: "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing with all those eggs? Is that the person Ah Xing saw Liu Yin?"
"Yes, Songlin, I'm sorry. My brother said my mother was seriously ill and needed some money. He wanted to exchange the eggs for some money for her treatment. I couldn't bear to see her suffer, so I gave them to him in a moment of anxiety." Liu's eyes were wandering. She really didn't expect Xie Wanxing to actually see Liu Yin. She quickly assured him, "He will return the things when he makes money. Please forgive me this time."
"Hmph, okay. Then I'll go see my mother-in-law tomorrow. How could she be so seriously ill that she even let my sister-in-law steal things from my brother-in-law's house." Old Mrs. Shen naturally didn't believe her. She knew her daughter-in-law too well. Liu usually liked to be clever and take advantage of small opportunities. Old Mrs. Shen saw through the trick at a glance. She knew that Liu must be lying. The so-called mother-in-law being seriously ill was just an excuse she found for her behavior.
Liu said in a trembling voice, "Mother, I dare not trouble you. My mother's illness will be cured in two days."
Seeing that she was still lying, Old Lady Shen was furious. She glared at Liu and said sternly, "Liu, how long are you going to lie? Do you think I will believe your lies? You must give me an explanation today, otherwise I will let my second son divorce you and send you back to your parents' home."
Old Lady Shen's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Liu's heart. Her face turned pale in an instant. Old Lady Shen actually said that Xie Songyang should divorce his wife. It was obvious that she was really angry this time. If she didn't admit her mistake quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Mother, please don't let Song Yang divorce me. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied, I shouldn't have stolen the eggs, I was possessed by a devil, please give me another chance." Liu immediately stood up and rushed to Old Lady Shen and knelt down, clutching the corner of Old Lady Shen's clothes with both hands, her eyes filled with pleading and fear: "Mother, I won't dare to do it again. Please, for all my efforts for this family in the past, forgive me this time, please don't send me back to my parents' home."
Old Mrs. Shen looked at her with a hint of severity and scrutiny in her eyes: "Did you only steal this basket of eggs?" Old Mrs. Shen's voice was not loud, but it hit Liu's heart like a heavy hammer.
"I secretly took some of the vegetables every day and put them in a basket. My brother would come from time to time, and I would let him take them home." Liu knew that she couldn't hide it from Old Lady Shen, so she had to tell the truth.
At this moment, the kitchen was completely silent. Old Lady Shen's face was terribly gloomy. She stared at Liu closely and said, "Sister-in-law stole money from her brother-in-law's house to support her family. If this gets out, how can you let the second son hold his head high in the village?"
Old Lady Shen sighed, and as if she had made up her mind, she said to Xie Songlin, "Call the second son over and write the divorce letter."
Upon hearing this, Liu's face turned ashen. She collapsed to the ground, tears pouring out like a flood. "Mother, please don't! I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please don't let Song Yang divorce me. I won't dare to do that again."
