Chapter 111
These ladies were also confused when they heard this. Why do the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister work with needles? This word puzzle is quite interesting.
"Sister, she uses needles instead of threads." Mrs. Liu frowned and muttered in her heart: "It's just an insect. How can there be any insect here that can use needles?"
After listening to Mrs. Liu's question, Mrs. Zhao on the other side spoke up: "I vaguely guessed the first sentence. The eldest sister uses needles instead of threads, so it should be bees. Little girl, you think I'm right. Isn’t that right?”
Li Yuezhu quickly clapped her hands and applauded: "Mrs. Zhao is so amazing, this is not a problem for you."
"Haha, how am I so awesome? This first sentence should be the simplest." Mrs. Zhao held a handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled softly.
"Sister Zhao is not so great. When she was young, she was a well-known talented woman in the capital. Now she is as strong as she was back then!" Mrs. Chen joked after hearing Mrs. Zhao's self-effacement.
"Haha, that happened so many years ago, why are you still mentioning it now!"
"Since the first sentence has been guessed, let me try to guess the second sentence." Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea and said to Li Yuezhu.
"Following the first sentence, in this second sentence, the second sister uses thread instead of needle, so she should be talking about the spider." After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she glanced at Li Yuezhu: "Little girl, am I right? "
Li Yuezhu nodded, "Aunt Liu is certainly right."
When everyone heard what Li Yuezhu said, they cheered again.
"In the third sentence, the third sister is lighting the lamp and not working. Let me try to guess." Mrs. Chen became interested when she saw that both ladies had guessed the answer to the riddle.
Several people sitting around the boat looked at Mrs. Chen, waiting for her answer.
"This third sister lights the lamp and refuses to work, maybe she is talking about the fireflies that night." Mrs. Chen looked at Li Yuezhu and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this girl didn't have a good education, how could she have such a clever mind.
The previous three games have been guessed, except for the last sentence. Everyone present, you look at me, I look at you, the ladies didn't say anything.
"This last sentence, Xiaojiu, do you have an idea?" Li Yuezhu was the first to break the calm.
Chen Jiuying only focused on eating the snacks on the table. She didn't eat much in the morning, so she was just in time to make up for it.
"They didn't guess it, how could I guess it?" Chen Jiuying pouted and continued eating without any pressure: "Let sister Linglong guess the last sentence."
Chen Jiuying kicked the ball directly to Linglong. When she was at home, this little girl felt that she could not get on the stage. She did not care about her status. No matter how smart a girl born from a common concubine was, she could not compare to a young lady who was born from a concubine. .
Isn't she always being smart? Now let's see if this damn girl is really smart or just pretending to be smart.
"This, this..." Chen Linglong obviously didn't expect that Chen Jiuying would throw the question to her. How could she know such an unattractive crossword puzzle: "My sister can't even guess it, so don't embarrass her."
Chen Linglong said pretentiously.
"Tch." Chen Jiuying knew that this would be the result. This damn girl would just pretend to be in front of her all day long.
"Since you two little girls can't guess it, let Wen Jing guess it." Mrs. Chen knew that her daughter was unreliable, and she had to let this reliable one come.
"In the fourth sentence, the fourth sister does her work without lighting the lamp, and she is an insect. Then I can only think of the weaver girl."
Liu Wenjing said it calmly, which shocked several people around her.
"Oh, Miss Wen Jing has a clever mind, but she's not the weaver girl! She spends her days moving around in the dark grass, eh, why didn't I think of it?"
Although Mrs. Chen said she was annoyed, she looked at the quiet girl with admiration.
This is the only way to complete the word puzzle.
"Okay, what was Xiaojiu shouting about before he came in, some basket?" Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter and asked with a smile.
Chen Jiuying immediately slapped her forehead, and Li Yuezhu, who was sitting next to her, felt a pain.
"Oops, I almost forgot." Chen Jiuying quickly picked up Li Yuezhu who was sitting next to her: "What are the things you said you wanted to show me? What is in that basket? It's so mysterious!"
Chen Jiuying stood aside with her lips pouted, "Yue Zhu is so stingy. I have begged you all the way, and you still don't tell me what it is."
"What on earth is Xiaojiu talking about? It made some of us curious." Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea. Her daughter had never let her down.
"It's Yuezhu who lost my appetite all the way and still doesn't explain it to me." Chen Jiuying stood in the distance with her hands on her waist.
Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter's appearance and shook her head. She didn't look like a girl's home.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't say I wouldn't show it to you. What were my original words? As long as you guess the word puzzle, I will let you figure it out. But look at how many word puzzles there are, and you haven't guessed any of them.
You came out and poured this dirty water on me." Li Yuezhu covered her mouth and snickered.
When Chen Jiuying saw Li Yuezhu acting like this, she stopped and stretched out her hand to scratch her.
"What did you say? Tell me again, will you show it to me? Will you show it to me?" Chen Jiuying laughed loudly while scratching Li Yuezhu's belly.
Li Yuezhu was also scratched by this little girl and had no place to hide. The two little girls were laughing and playing, freely, and there were no rules to restrict them. Liu Wenjing looked on the side with a look of envy.
"Sister-in-law, please stop scratching, okay, okay, I promise you, I will show it to you, can't you... Stop scratching, stop scratching."
Li Yuezhu hated having her belly scratched the most. Chen Jiuying seemed to have grabbed her sore spot and scratched her so hard that she couldn't stand up.
Xiao An was unfamiliar with everything around him. He sat quietly aside. In fact, he wanted to participate, but he was a little timid.
"Xiao An, Xiao An, drag your sister Xiaojiu away quickly." Li Yuezhu watched Chen Jiuying getting more and more excited and asked for help.
Xiao An hesitated for a long time, but still planned to save his sister. He had promised his sister before that he would protect her.
Seeing Chen Jiuying being grabbed by Xiao An, Li Yuezhu finally breathed a sigh of relief. This young aunt really didn't dare to offend easily.
"I told you everything, how could you still do this?"
Li Yuezhu didn't comply anymore. When Xiao An grabbed Chen Jiuying, he also stretched out his claws and started to make a fuss.
The ladies were also happy to see the lively people. There is nothing more satisfying than being surrounded by children and grandchildren.
Liu Wenjing had known Chen Jiuying before, and she also knew that she had a noisy temper. She used to think that she was not elegant enough, and there was no daughter from a wealthy family like her. Now she is extremely envious when she sees the two of them playing around.
After making a fuss for a while, Li Yuezhu took the initiative to stop. Chen Jiuying still had some unfinished ideas, but Li Yuezhu knew that everything needs to be done in a certain way. If it is done too much, it will make people annoying.
"Okay, I won't cause trouble for you anymore, I have brought you good things."
As Li Yuezhu spoke, he picked up a few baskets placed in the corner, opened the lids of the two baskets, and found two baskets full of fruits.
Two small watermelons, a large bag of cherry tomatoes, seven or eight melons, and a bunch of strawberries.
