The lively atmosphere in the room was quiet. Zhang Niuyi and Monkey closed their mouths and their eyes unconsciously fell on Mangye's face.

Zheng Lin's hand on his knee suddenly clenched tightly. He tried his best to hide his tension and worry, looked at the big bag in disguise, and then looked at his wife, as if he was wondering if they had met before he didn't know.

At this moment, he could not read or show any strangeness.

"Is that so? Could it be that my sister-in-law has seen her brother Dabao?" Sang Ye looked at Dabao in surprise, looked carefully, and after confirming that she had never seen this person before, she apologized: "My sister-in-law doesn't have a good memory. Maybe she has seen her before, but she has forgotten it."

No one knew that Sang Ye's heart was so nervous that he was about to jump out, and his palm was sweating so much that water was about to drip out. She showed her strongest acting skills in her life and showed her impeccable appearance without telling anyone.

Dabao only thought Sang Ye's sister-in-law looked familiar, so he asked this question. After being asked this question, he couldn't tell the reason and couldn't help but apologize: "I, I can't remember where I've ever seen it. Maybe I remember it wrong. I hope my sister-in-law should not be surprised."

After the words came, Sang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, what's so strange about this? There are many people with similar appearances. Maybe Dabao brothers have beaten someone who looks similar to his sister-in-law. Now when they see her sister-in-law, they look familiar!"

With this argument, even if these three people really associate themselves with the person on the small statue in the future, they only think that they are similar to the person on the painting. After all, her current identity is the wife of their good brother, and she will not deliberately investigate her past for no reason.

Take a step back and say that even if you really check it, the traces she left behind were almost wiped out, and nothing could be found. Unless when you were in the capital, those who were very familiar with her came to verify her identity in person.

Dabao was convinced by this powerful reason, and scratched his head honestly, feeling a little embarrassed: "It's also my sister-in-law who looks kind-faced, and I feel familiar in my heart."

When Sang Ye heard this, he showed joy of being praised: "Brother Dabao is good at talking, right?" As she said that, she glared at Zheng Lin with dissatisfaction and continued: "From now on, you will teach you Brother Lin more. He is a dull man and won't even say a word of coaxing people."

The next few words are to change the topic, and I was complained that someone said sweet words were simply unbearable.

But in front of these people, Zheng Lin looked cold most of the time and could not believe that he would say sweet words. Now that Sang Ye complained so loudly, Da Bao and others had no doubts at all.

Zhang Niuyi looked at Zheng Lin teasingly and said in a loud voice: "It's just that you can put on this face in front of people outside, but it's wrong for you to look at your younger brother and sister."

Zheng Lin was still moved, and he had already secretly applauded his wife's wit. Now that the topic was shifting to him, he naturally cooperated perfectly. He pretended to be cold and glanced at Zhang Niuyi, saying, "I don't know how to coax people. Brother Zhang can tell me the trick of coaxing my sister-in-law and open my eyes."

"Yes, Brother Yong is older, so you should teach Brother Lin."

"Haha, Dabao is right! Tell me quickly, we all want to learn from Brother Yong!"

Compared to teaching Zheng Lin how to coax people, it is more attractive to let Zhang Niuyi expose his secret method of coaxing people in private. For a moment, Dabao and Monkey became excited and started to cheer each other, echoing Zheng Lin's proposal.

Looking at the three people laughing and joking, Sang Ye's tense nerves also relaxed. He looked at Zheng Lin and gave each other a tacit look. She quietly left the front hall and returned to the kitchen.

The fat and fat dumplings were already cooked, and Meng was holding a pot with a leash. Seeing the mulberry leaves coming to take them with a tray, he hurriedly said, "You have been busy for most of the day, just sit and burn the fire, and you can do other things."

Sang Ye was indeed a little tired and didn't want to face the three people in the room. He was worried that they would think of anything again, so he took the opportunity to say, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll take a break first and I'll take turns cooking with my mother later."

Meng knew that her cooking skills were a little worse than those of her daughter-in-law. Today, she came to the guest again

Not ordinary, so he said readily: "Finish, you can rest first, let's take a turn for this meal."

When Meng took out four large bowls of dumplings, the mulberry leaves picked up the remaining twenty dumplings in the pot, and put a few in each bowl and asked the children to come and eat them.

Huan'er and his wife had sex with the fat group for the whole morning, and the food they had eaten in the morning had already been consumed. When they heard that there were dumplings, they rushed into the kitchen. They took a bowl and squatted on the temporary table and started eating.

The fat bun was stimulated by the fragrant dumplings and was trying to eat them. Huan'er and his wife each picked up a dumpling from the bowl and fed it to the fat bun, which was only enough to stuff it into the teeth.

It took nearly an hour for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to work together to create nearly twenty delicious dishes. There were several dishes that were not often eaten by the Zheng family, and only mulberry leaves could be made.

When the dishes with all colors, fragrance and taste were served on the table, Zhang Niuyi and others were attracted. After tasting them one by one, the nice words came out like springs, making the mulberry leaves and Meng praise them as nothing in the sky, and they were envious and jealous of Zheng Lin.

No one doesn’t like to listen to good words. Although they know that there is moisture in these praises, Sang Ye and Meng are still very happy. Seeing that a few people pick up chopsticks and like to eat almost every dish, they feel even happier.

After drinking and eating, Zheng Lin took the three of them out to the village. Meng did not let Sang Ye clean up the dishes and directly took her back to the room.

Mang Ye's belly has been three months old, and his appetite is much better than before he became pregnant. He still has no sign of morning sickness. Even if he is sleeping more than usual, he has to sleep for an hour at noon every day, otherwise he will not be able to get excited all afternoon.

But there was a false alarm before. Sang Ye was a little worried that Zhang Niuyi would inquire about her, and her husband would accidentally let her say something, so she lay on the bed toss and turned and couldn't sleep.

While half asleep and half awake, she felt someone sitting at the head of the bed, so she opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that it was Zheng Lin, she woke up suddenly and asked anxiously: "How is it, Brother Zhang and the others didn't doubt anything, right?"

Unpredicting that his wife was worried about this, Zheng Lin suddenly felt guilty and hurriedly held her tightly to comfort her and said softly: "No, Brother Zhang praised you in his words and said nothing, and just asked about getting married to you for his husband, and said nothing else."

Sang Ye was completely relieved, his body fell softly into his husband's arms, and his hands unconsciously grabbed his sleeve: "Do you know, when Dabao said that, I was frightened and thought he already knew that I was the one on the little statue."

Zheng Lin could feel his wife's fear. At that moment, he had the same emotion in his heart: "Don't be afraid, the matter has passed, they will no longer suspect that you are the person on the little statue. In their eyes, you are my wife, an ordinary person."

Sang Ye nodded, his fear gradually faded away, and he became lively again: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't mess up my hands or feet, otherwise there would be something strange, so I'm afraid I'd teach them to notice it."

Zheng Lin pinched her hand and praised without hesitation: "A wife is smart and she will be at a disadvantage for her husband."

When Sang Ye heard this, the smile on his face became even more eye-catching, but he said, "You are not bad, you didn't show your feet to make them suspect, otherwise I really don't know how they will end this matter."

Speaking of this, she felt curious and couldn't help asking: "If they really showed up, what do you think they would do?"

Zheng Lin's eyes were slightly darker, and a little hesitation appeared on his face: "The friendship with Brother Zhang and others for so many years is not fake. Even if they have just taught them something, they may choose to ignore it and pretend not to know anything."

The matter was settled before the New Year and has been reported. Since he didn't have to bear the charge of betrayal, he believed that Brother Zhang and the others would stand on his side and conceal all this for him. In other words, if this matter was changed to Brother Zhang and the others' perspective, he would have chosen to do so.

After hearing what her husband said, Sang Ye didn't doubt the extraordinary friendship between them, and he felt more at ease: "Brother Zhang and the others are good people. Even if they know, they won't say it out loud. They will definitely have some confusion in their hearts. So let's be careful and don't let them know."

"Yeah, listen to you." Zheng Lin kissed his wife's forehead and replied in a low voice

.

Without any worries, Mang Ye was no longer afraid of facing Zhang Niuyi and others, and getting along with them became more and more natural. Zhang Niuyi and others no longer doubted Mang Ye. After a few days, they gradually regarded the Zheng family as their home without any discomfort.

Time flies, and the Lantern Festival passes in the blink of an eye. Huan'er, who had been in the Zheng family for half a month, returned to the county town with his uncle and cousin, and began his new year's study journey.

Datou was also sent to a school in the county by Zheng Lin, and temporarily lived in the small courtyard where the Sang Family Leasing. Originally, the family wanted to send Datou to the initiation class of the academy, but Datou did not pass the academy assessment and could only settle for the second best and chose a good school.

The school’s tuition is not high, two taels of silver a year. Of course, you have to bring your own pens, ink, paper, ink, ink, and books, and you have to pay for the food yourself. All the spent is about ten taels of silver throughout the year.

The day before Datou entered the school, Zheng Lin took him to the charity village to visit Zheng Shanqing and Ma. While the three of them hugged their heads and cried, Zheng Lin specially found the manager of the charity village and asked the couple about their performance in the charity village.

When Zheng Lin learned that the two of them had really reformed and worked hard, he was also a little happy. He told the manager of the Yizhuang to look at the couple's behavior and gave them a holiday during the holidays so that they could go back to visit their children.

The manager agreed immediately and said that he would give Zheng Shanqing and Ma a few days off next month and let them go back.

Zheng Shanqing and Ma Shi were not aware of a big surprise waiting for him. Seeing that his elder brother was willing to send his son to the school in the county and also ate and lived in the yard rented by his sister-in-law's mother's house, he was very grateful and even regretted that the lard was so fooled by his heart that he did something worse than pigs and dogs.

Ma held his eldest son and carefully reminded him: "It's not as good as at home in school. You should listen to your Master's words carefully. Don't make trouble and make your Master angry, do you know?"

Datou nodded his little head: "I know, my aunt had already told me when she was at home, and she also said that someone bullied Datou and told Datou not to endure it. If he couldn't solve it himself, he would find a master to make the decision. Datou remembered it."

Seeing that his eldest son was inseparable from "aunt", Ma was grateful and sad, so he could only touch his son's head and said, "Then listen to your aunt carefully, she will definitely not harm you."

Datou also wrote down these words honestly.

Zheng Shanqing heard a lot and said little, but from the conversation between his wife and children, he was completely relieved to know that his son and daughter were living a good life at home.

Not long after, Zheng Lin, who had finished talking to the manager, came back. Seeing that the three of them were still talking endlessly, he reminded him: "It's getting late, I want to take Datou to the bookstore to buy books for enlightenment."

When Zheng Shanqing and Ma Shi didn't dare to delay the time when they heard this. Zheng Shanqing glanced at the cold elder brother, took out a purse from his pocket, stepped forward a few steps and handed it to him carefully: "Brother, this is the salary I just got. You can buy books for Datou!"

Zheng Lin glanced at Zheng Shanqing deeply, reached out to take the money bag in his hand, held Big Head's hand and turned around and left. Just as he was about to step out of the gate of the charity village, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to the couple who were watching them, "As long as you sincerely regret it, it will never be too late!"
