The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Since the forger has seen the real number "6", she must have had contact with Yu Shi, or be someone related to Yu Shi!

So, the next step is to find out who had contact with You during that period, and that person will be the biggest suspect.

Zhou's mother had a good relationship with Erwang's mother, so she used the excuse of buying eggs to chat with Erwang's mother for the entire afternoon. They talked about everything from Chinese New Year to the children going to school, even Dali's grandmother, but in the end, nothing came of it.

Erwang's mother was an old lady who didn't like to worry about anything. Aside from her chickens and ducks, which were her top priorities, she didn't care much about her son, daughter-in-law, or grandson. She was even less aware of what was going on in her daughter-in-law's house. However, the old lady did say that Youshi and Maoshi had a good relationship.

Zhou's mother had no choice but to go back with these words.

When Chen Xiuying heard this, she realized that this wouldn't work and she had to talk to the person involved in person.

But how to talk is a skill. After thinking about it, she asked her mother-in-law to announce in front of a few people that there will be changes in their workshop. The specific changes need to be communicated with everyone before they can be decided. I hope everyone can be prepared!

Mother Zhou announced this in front of Mother Chen, Mrs. Wang, and the three young wives, and Mother Chen nodded seriously.

The three young wives looked at each other, wondering what the two aunts were up to. Were they hiring or reducing staff?

Look at Wang, she also pretends to be confused, she really doesn't know how the two old ladies will investigate next.

Then, in the afternoon, Chen Xiuying came on stage.

Originally, she had wanted her mother to take on this role. She thought the two old ladies, one the regiment leader and the other the political commissar, would be a perfect match, and they wouldn't be too tiring to work together. Her mother-in-law was the regiment leader, and her mother was the political commissar. Wouldn't it be perfect for the political commissar to have someone to talk to?

As a result, her mother just shook her head and said, "I can judge people, but I can't deceive people. You should go ahead!"

Chen Xiuying...

It seems that in your eyes, our whole family is a bunch of liars!

There was no other way, so Chen Xiuying had to bite the bullet and do it herself.

If you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be more realistic!

She first asked Qing'er to call the two old ladies to her small study and have them sit on the kang. "You two sit on the kang and don't talk or make any noise. Listen to what they say so that you can help me find this person."

The two old ladies looked at each other and nodded together. Since they didn't want us to speak, we just nodded.

After arranging the old lady, Chen Xiuying asked Mrs. Yu to put a screen over the kang.

This screen was left behind when Old Madam Song came to her house. She had originally wanted to put it up at her parents' house, but the room was small, and she probably wouldn't be able to put a table there with the screen. So she had no choice but to send someone to her house.

After putting the screen in place, Chen Xiuying asked Qing'er to call the young wives over.

The first to arrive was Huang, the daughter-in-law of Ge Yougen. It was Huang's first time at Chen Xiuying's house. Seeing Chen Xiuying sitting at the desk with a pen in her hand and paper on the table, she said to her seriously, "Please sit down!"

She couldn't help but let her legs go limp and sat on the stool that Qing'er brought.

Chen Xiuying cleared her throat and said, "I'm just here today to ask you a few questions on behalf of my two mothers. They're worried that they might forget things because of their poor memory, so they asked me to write them down. Don't be nervous, let's just chat casually."

Next, Chen Xiuying used the same tactics that modern leaders use to talk to people.

"How do you feel about the past few months since you came to our workshop? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"What do you think of the work you're doing? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

"If our workshop were to recruit again, do you have any recommendations? Why?"

Huang had never experienced such a situation before. After a barrage of questions, she had no idea what she had answered. Furthermore, Dajiang's wife was taking notes while listening, which distracted her and made her forget everything she had said. So, when she finished her questions and returned, the other two wives asked her what she had said, but she couldn't answer a single word.

Lin Erdong's wife, Sun, is a little better than Huang. After she came out, Erwang's wife, You, asked her, and she was able to answer, asking me who I could recommend for recruitment.

When Youshi heard this, she felt relieved. It seemed that they were not going to reduce the number of people, but to add them. Then she had a candidate!

As a result, she was asked this question after she went there, so she said the answer in her heart, "I have it, Mao's."

Chen Xiuying was stunned when she heard this. Who was Mao? How could she not have any impression of her?

Zhou's mother on the kang realized that this was Dazhu's wife. She had even come to her mother-in-law's aid during their previous quarrel, even with her belly bulging. But she was on the kang, and since they had agreed not to speak, she could only act like a "wooden man" and remain silent.

Fortunately, Chen Xiuying didn't remain stunned for long. She asked directly, "You know, my husband and I just returned to the village this year. I don't really know this Mao you mentioned. Whose wife is she? Is she good at sewing?"

"Ah, Mao is Dazhu's wife. You know Dazhu, right? He's the 'medicine jar', and his wife is Mao!"

Chen Xiuying: “Oh!”

Now I have a name for her. Isn't she the young wife with a protruding belly who scolded her sister-in-law on behalf of Dazhu's mother last year?

"Isn't she pregnant?"

"She gave birth! She gave birth at the end of last winter. It was a little girl. She's pretty, fair and clean. Dazhu's mother was so happy that she told everyone she met that her little girl looked like Dazhu, very fair and clean!"

Mother Zhou was worried that people would say it wasn't Dazhu's child!

"Then she would have been in confinement for the entire twelfth lunar month and not allowed to come during the Chinese New Year, right?" Chen Xiuying continued to ask.

"That's right! Dazhu wasn't feeling well either, and her mother was worried that they would both be ill, so she kept her confined for forty days before letting her go out. Oh, right, that was around the time when Grandma Dali passed away. It was still cold, and she had nowhere to go, so she came to my house every afternoon."

Chen Xiuying: "Go to your house? Aren't you at the workshop?"

"In the morning, yes. It was just a few days after the Chinese New Year, and we had to work, so Aunt Zhou asked us to work in the workshop in the morning and at home in the afternoon and evening."

"So she's good at sewing?"

"I've never seen her sew, but she seems quite interested in our dolls. She even said that once the baby is weaned and we hire more people, she'd like to try it out."

Chen Xiuying was almost certain. "Oh, then why is she interested? Did she ask you about acupuncture techniques?"

"No, she just picked up the dolls I was sewing and looked at them. Then she asked how much each doll cost. Then she asked me how many I could make in a month. From what she said, it seemed like she really wanted to work in our workshop, so I told her."

"Oh, okay, we'll think about it. If we start hiring, I'll let you know right away. But don't tell her yet. We're not sure yet. We still have to see how much the buyer orders. If the quantity is low, we might even have to reduce the staff!"

When Youshi heard this, her face turned pale with fright. If she reduced the number of people, then her monthly salary of one and a half taels of silver would be gone. How could she have the mood to care about Maoshi?

Only after the people left did Zhou's mother dare to speak. She was so suffocated that she almost died.

"This little whore! She must be the one who's been bullying our family behind our backs! That Dazhu woman, she even has the nerve to ask you two to buy her land. Ugh!

I was blind too, and I actually spoke well of her!"

Mother Zhou was so angry that she slammed the edge of the kang. Mother Chen was worried that she would get herself into trouble, so she patted her chest to calm her down. "We haven't caught her yet, so it doesn't necessarily mean it's her. Calm down first and listen to what Xiuying has to say."
