As expected, the second brother got up and searched all over the kang for the hairpin, muttering, "Where did it go? I shouldn't have put it in my hand before I went to bed."

"Don't sleep, get up and look for it."

The second brother woke up the children who were sleeping on the kang, and the three of them searched together. The noise was so loud that it woke up the eldest brother and Fugui.

While they were searching, the second son's wife quickly hid in the kitchen, fearing that her mother-in-law would see her and scold her.

No matter how unhappy she was this time, she would never be blamed.

As expected, the old lady opened the door and went straight to the second son's room. "Why are you guys not sleeping well so early in the morning? What are you doing?"

Several people stopped what they were doing. The second brother took a quick glance and saw a silver stick-like object. He breathed a sigh of relief, "It's nothing. It's just that the clothes were rolled up in the quilt. We've found it."

The old lady didn't suspect anything, but she felt uncomfortable because she had woken Fugui up.

Children are growing up, so they should get more sleep. He rolled his eyes at the second child and said, "When you wake up, get up and eat. It's all ready."

When he walked out of the room, he saw his second son's wife in the kitchen. Thinking of the slap he had just received, his eyes began to smolder again.

"You too, your husband was just looking for something there, and you didn't help him. How could he marry a spendthrift woman like you?"

As he said that, he sat down and waited for them to come to the table.

The second son's wife was totally confused. How could this all be related to her? Her mother-in-law was unreasonable and could only find excuses to accuse someone of something.

But it is impossible to move out now. The only thatched hut was given to the third child. Suddenly, I realized that living in the thatched hut was better than suffering here.

I took a few deep breaths to let out some of the air that was stuck in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat for a while.

Jinshui saw that everyone was up. If it weren’t for his mother, they would not have gotten up so early. It seemed that today’s plan should be accomplished.

Such a small amount was gone in just a few sips, so everyone picked up their bowls and licked the bottom clean.

The eldest daughter-in-law wanted to wash the dishes and had already stood up to clean them up, but the old lady stretched out her hand to stop her, "Let the second daughter-in-law do it. How can you just eat and not work?"

Hearing my mother-in-law talking like this, I knew she must be holding a grudge against the slap just now. Forget it, I can’t argue with her. I cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash.

This job is quite easy to do lazily. It is so clean, just rinse it with water.

However, my mother-in-law was strolling around there, seemingly taking a walk, but in fact she was supervising my work. I resigned myself to my fate and picked up the bowls and started washing them carefully one by one.

Jinshui found an excuse to go out and ran all the way to Ni'er's house.

I ran to her house panting and saw a figure in the distance who looked very similar to Ni'er, walking quickly.

Could it be that she had gone out? Without time to think about it, he ran forward a little faster. The more he looked, the more it looked like her. He shouted loudly, "Nier~"

Hearing the shouting, Nier felt strange. Why did it sound like Jinshui? Why did she come to see her?

I turned around and saw that it was indeed her, "What's wrong?"

Jin Shui held his stomach, bent over, his face a little painful, and gasped, "It's urgent."

Nier took the person aside and said, "Tell me slowly."

Jinshui told her everything he heard yesterday, and the listener frowned.

Is there really something going on between Dad and Widow Li? The hairpin, the mud, and the things he promised to give to Second Uncle and the others, I really have to doubt it.

But Dad’s character is trustworthy. He will definitely lose if he competes with Second Uncle in scheming. It might be that he is framed by others.

Alas~ It’s too early to draw conclusions now. Let’s solve the problem at hand first.

"Describe the appearance of that hairpin."

Jinshui used every description he could think of, and even took a branch from the ground to draw a rough outline.

Nier felt like she had seen this hairpin somewhere before. Before, a peddler came to the village to sell some small things, and he had this hairpin in his basket.

At that time, my mother also said that the workmanship was a bit rough, and she also reminded me not to be greedy when buying things, because the more I look at them after buying them, the more annoyed I will be. If I am going to buy something, I should buy something I really like.

Jinshui didn't understand what was the point of Ni'er knowing all this. Seeing how she remained calm in the face of danger, he became even calmer.

"Okay, I get it. This can be solved."

Hearing this, I felt reassured. Since she could handle it, there was no need to stay any longer.

"I have to go back. Grandma will look for me later."

"Ah."

After watching Jinshui return, he found a similar hairpin in the system, but this one was a bit delicate and not cheap, costing fifty coins. "Can you customize a similar hairpin?"

[Yes, there are different materials below, you can choose at will]

The most expensive item in the vendor’s basket was no more than ten cents, so he would definitely choose the cheapest one.

I chose and chose again, but there were only similar ones, not exactly the same ones. "Can I make my own?"

[Yes, use two fingers to adjust the shape angle until you are satisfied]

There is actually such a function. Nier stretched out two fingers and pinched in the air. If others saw it, they would definitely wonder what she was doing.

I made a similar one based on my impression, and even with the cheapest materials, it cost ten cents.

I was reluctant to spend this money, "Can't it be cheaper?"

【cannot】

I resigned myself to paying the money and took out the hairpin. I had never bought anything like this for my mother, but I bought one for my father's suspected lover first. I will definitely buy a better one for my mother later.

He took a detour and went to Widow Li's house. He threw the hairpin directly into the yard, turned a corner and went to his master's house.

Widow Li heard some slight noises in the yard and went out. She saw something on the ground with a metallic luster.

Oh my God, it was the lost hairpin. I covered my mouth with my hands and was frightened for a long time. I didn’t expect to find it here.

He picked it up, wiped the dirt off it with his sleeve, and put it directly into his hair.

It's a good sign. I hope everything goes smoothly when I meet that person later.

The second brother did not go to the fields today. He was annoyed by the noise early in the morning and thought of going out to relax. He touched his hairpin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and decided to go find Widow Li today.

"Tiedan, we'll be there soon."

Aunt Niu Shun looked at the man in front of her nervously and spoke to comfort him.

I have been marching and fighting in battles for so many years, and I have never touched a woman's hand. Now my palms are slightly sweating. I wonder if she will like the gift I brought.

The second brother stood at the door of Widow Li's house, stretched his neck and looked inside.

Widow Li, who was cleaning the house, was startled to see the second son standing there. Why did he come here? She had to worry about being seen by others, in case there was a misunderstanding.

"What are you here for?"

Widow Li came out and asked unhappily.

"Of course I have something to talk to you about," the second brother was anxious to get to the point, "I saw everything that happened between you and the third brother that day."
