"Tell me yourself, how many times have you been on this kind of work?!"

In the backyard of Mei's cake shop, a handsome woman posed as if she hated iron but not steel. Although her tone was fierce, her phoenix eyes were full of resentment.

"I don't know whose child is lacking in virtue? I turned around and let me see it, and it would be strange if I didn't scold him severely. The woman's eyes were slightly red, as if she were the one who had been humiliated.

Shen Yueran lowered her head and said nothing, soaking her hands in a wooden basin, and kept scrubbing.

"Sister, my clothes are hanging on the branches, can you help me get down?"

- With a bang, as the clothes fell to the ground, there was a book that fell on her head.

"Sister, I can't open the door bolt, can you help me open it?"

- With a bang, as the deadbolt landed, there was a big yellow dog that pounced on her.

"Sister, help!"

- She turned around and was splashed with dirty water.

That's right, she's been on this countless times, so—

What is a piece of ****?

Children are naughty!

Thinking of this, she smiled.

The woman was even more angry when she saw the curvature of the corners of her mouth.

"You're still laughing? And how childish and funny those children are, right? Do you think it's all childlike innocence? I sue you, it's all the adults instigating behind their backs!

A yellow-mouthed child, where did he come up with so many ghost ideas? It's not the adults who pinch it in private, where do they get the guts? You have a way of dealing with adults, and in front of children, you become a little white rabbit. ”

"Okay, Mei Caiyu, I know." Shen Yueran decided to surrender to this woman named Mei Caiyu. It's not the first time she has been fooled, and of course it's not the first time that Mei Caiyu has "scolded" her, and she is almost calloused when she hears the clichés.

"Every time I say I know, every time I am fooled again......" Mei Caiyu didn't believe her.

Seeing that Caiyu's mouth didn't stop, Shen Yueran grinned and stretched out her hands and attacked her pretty face, "Good sister, instead of fighting for me, it's better to share the taste." ”

"Ah, it stinks." Mei Caiyu turned her face away and grabbed her hands with a smile.

"Why did I wash it for so long, it still smells big." She couldn't help but frown.

Shen Yueran retracted her hands, "Why don't you try rice vinegar?" ”

To remove odors, it is not enough to soak in water alone. The effect of lemon is the best, but in this era, lemon is not easy to get, and it is not bad to replace it with rice vinegar.

"Rice vinegar?" Mei Caiyu tilted her head, "You mean to wash your hands with rice vinegar?" ”

Shen Yueran nodded, "Yes, a few drops in the water can deodorize and remove the smell." ”

"No problem, Daddy has always been acid-hungry, and there are a lot of them in the kitchen, I'll go get some." Mei Caiyu turned and ran away.

After Mei Caiyu left, Shen Yueran was the only one in the huge backyard of the Mei family.

She took two random steps, then craned her neck to look into an inner room to the east, where a white figure flickered past the closed window paper.

Mei's family of three, father Mei Changsheng, eldest daughter Mei Cailian, and second daughter Mei Caiyu moved to Wenchi from southwest Shu three years ago.

It is said that the southwest is a rich land, and the northwest is a bitter cold land, how can the Mei family live in Wenchi with peace of mind?

This has to start with Mei Cailian's condition.

I heard that Mei Cai Lianyuan was slender and docile, but in the year of cardamom, a sarcoma suddenly appeared on her forehead. The Mei family searched for a prescription to no avail, and the sarcoma grew bigger and bigger. The humane who has seen Mei Cailian's true face, the sarcoma is strange, ugly, transparent and bright, and there seem to be hundreds of worms wriggling inside, which makes people disgusting.

The ancients always attached great importance to the forehead, believing that people's wisdom, luck, and good fortune were all related to the forehead. Mei Cailian had a tumor on her forehead, not to mention the breakage, which made the people even more frightened.

"That's a bad omen!"

"That's the Scourge!"

"That's the mark of a wild ghost!"

As soon as this kind of absurd statement spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, and Mei Cailian's marriage becomes a big * trouble.

Ugliness is one aspect, and "woe" is the real cause.

Who wants to marry someone who walks into the door and knows something ominous?

Three years ago, someone talked about the Mei family, saying that there was a widower in Wenchi, who had seen Mei Cailian's portrait, and he didn't care about the tumor and was willing to marry her.

Mei Changsheng was overjoyed, and the family of three happily scraped together enough coils and dowries, and rushed from the southwest to the northwest.

Who knows, when the widower saw Mei Cailian's real person, he repented.

He said, only seeing the portrait, he didn't feel that the sarcoma was hateful, and now he saw the real thing, it was really unbearable.

He knew that he was at a loss, and he lost ten taels of silver, and wanted to send the Mei family away.

If the man says that he will not marry, can the woman still rely on it? What's more, the Mei family is a stranger, so what do you want to argue with the man?

Mei Changsheng suffered a loss, so he had to leave with his two daughters angrily.

The real woe is yet to come.

The Mei family returned to the inn, only to find that the package pressed under the pillow was missing.

In the package, there are all the belongings of the Mei family!

Mei Changsheng cried and grabbed the ground, and ran to the yamen to beat the drum and shout grievances.

The county order sent a document to investigate the case, and the document sealed the inn and tortured everyone, but there was no clue.

Mei Changsheng was stubborn and unwilling to leave, so he had to wait until the day when the water came out.

He used the ten taels of silver given by the widower to rent a shop, and while running his old business shortbread business to make a living, he went to the yamen every day to inquire about the case.

Day after day, year after year, the inn has long since closed its doors, and the guests of the year have been scattered, forgetting about it, and the Mei's theft case has become an unsolved case.

It can be regarded as a bright flower, but Mei's shortbread unexpectedly gained a firm foothold in Wenchi. The people all say that the shortbread is delicious and inexpensive, and the taste is sweet. Mei Changsheng saw that his income was considerable and his life was rich, so he no longer mentioned returning to his hometown.

After the theft, Mei Cailian is even more said to be a disaster, coupled with her closed door and more and more withdrawn temperament, not to mention the door-to-door proposal, the people are a little afraid of her, and every time she talks about it, she is not in a hurry.

So, when she suddenly appeared in broad daylight, people fled in panic.

Shen Yueran was also a little afraid of her. She was friendly with Mei Caiyu, but never talked to her.

The weird sarcoma is one of them. A bloodless countenance is the second thing. Always wearing a white cloth dress is the third. often hides in the room, and peeping at her and Mei Caiyu's play is the fourth.

But today, she felt compelled to thank her for saving her from her embarrassment.

"Hey—"

She approached the inner room where Mei Cailian lived, and called softly through the window.

No response.

Predictable.

Shen Yueran knew that she must be listening. So he coughed dryly and said in a sincere tone, "Thank you." If it weren't for you today, they might have humiliated me. Thank you for saving me. ”

Still no response.

Predictable.

Shen Yueran shrugged her shoulders and raised her feet to leave.

At this moment, there was a sound of the grinding of Suosuo's clothes in the inner room, and then a weak, low female voice.

"I just happened to be passing by, you don't have to thank me."
