Chapter 4 Stealing Food

In March of the eighth year of the junior high school, Wenchi Shen's family.

The spring is cold, and it is warm and cold.

In the afternoon, a gust of wind rose, and the oiled paper on the window lattice rattled.

Shen Yueran muttered something, turned over unhappily, and continued to sleep.

Another gust of wind rose, and the oiled paper on the window lattice was blown open, and the torn corner made a fluttering sound with the wind.

She finally couldn't sleep anymore, and lazily poked her head out of the quilt and opened her eyes.

The sun is slightly slanting, the sun is just right, and it is not yet time (one o'clock in the afternoon).

She ripped at her hair casually, pulled on her cloth shoes, and pulled out a stack of oiled paper and a pair of scissors from the table.

Yawned, looked slack, moved with his hand, and the paper with his hand, and after a while, two playful and laughing rabbits jumped on the paper.

"What is this?" Cong Hao opened his wallet and found that there was an extra paper cut in the photo folder in the wallet.

"Stupid." Yuan Xiaonuo said angrily, "This is me and you." What do you think? Is it well cut? I've been studying for more than a month, and my fingers have been poked seven or eight times. ”

Cong Hao smiled, smiling warmer than the sun in spring.

He pulled Arnold over and kissed her heavily on the left cheek.

"Okay, I like it, just like you, it's useless, but it's cute, haha."

"Nasty! What words? ”

"Haha......"

Shen Yueran looked at the paper-cut in a daze.

In a moment, she picked up the scissors and cut the rabbit into pieces, then clutched it into her palm and threw it into the paper basket.

Pick up the scissors again, three times and two times, and cut out a patch that looks like a circle but not a circle, and a patch that looks like a square and not a square.

This time, relieved, she was satisfied enough to pick up the patch and stick it to the opening of the window paper.

It's been five years, and she's basically adapted to life here.

Northwest China has always been a bitter cold land, with strong wind and sand, little rain, dry climate, and lack of species. Wenchi County, blessed with unique resources, surrounded by water on three sides and facing sand on one side, has become a necessary place for trade and travel throughout the ages. It is precisely because of this special geographical condition that at the beginning of Taizu's accession to the throne, he rebuilt the Wenchi Post Station and sent troops to garrison Shuibo. Therefore, most of the livelihoods of ordinary people in Wenchi are related to the post station, and they do some small business to and fro -

Uh, what does it have to do with her?

What does the father and son of the Shen family have to do with her every day to go out to wash horses and make a living in the wind and sand?

Wu Zhaorong buys a few pairs of soles from time to time to sell them to subsidize the family, what does it have to do with her?

In the past five years, she has eaten and slept and eaten, and her only hobby is to stare at the sun in a daze, or accompany her little nephew to fight ants heavily, and hardly deal with outsiders, so what does it matter where she lives?

Five years ago, she threw a hairpin and swore that Wu Zhaorong turned the Shen family upside down, scolding during the day, crying at night, and smashing all the valuable belongings in the family. She had no choice but to insist that she would not marry, and after several attempts of persuasion and reprimand by the father and son of the Shen family to no avail, she had to accept this fact.

Shen Minggong got two hundred taels of silver from somewhere, paid a fine of one hundred taels, and gave one hundred taels to Wu Zhaorong, saying that it was to compensate for the hosta. Clearly said that it was for the hosta, in fact, everyone knew that Shen Minggong wanted to use the hundred taels of silver to sue Wu Zhaorong, Shen Yueran's family affairs ended here, and it would be useless for her to make trouble and scold in the future, he no longer insisted on being a father, what else could she say as a sister-in-law?

Wu Zhaorong took the silver and naturally shut up. She cries or makes trouble, but just to be able to get a dowry for her sister-in-law. Now that the money is in hand, it doesn't matter who gave it, it doesn't matter whether the sister-in-law lives or dies. Moreover, her father-in-law, who had always been poor, quietly took out two hundred taels of silver, which was more surprising to her than her sister-in-law's oath - no, it should be a surprise.

In addition to these two hundred taels, is there anything else? How many more? Where to hide?

With this in mind, she naturally stopped looking for Shen Yueran's stubble, and the family was finally calm.

The Shen family is quiet, and the rumors outside have never stopped.

"Lazy Girl", "Old Girl", "Drag Oil Bottle", "Broom Star", ......

Shen Yueran just doesn't go out much, and these words never stop appearing in her ears.

Every time she heard it, she scoffed.

Counting her age, she is only twenty-one years old now, according to the standards of modern society, she is still young, where is she "old"-

She smacked her lips twice, feeling a little hungry, put the oiled paper and scissors back in their place, closed the doors and windows, and walked towards the kitchen.

Before I got closer, I smelled an enticing aroma of rice.

I'm stealing again!

She frowned.

Raised his foot to push the door, and sure enough, Wu Zhaorong was holding a bowl of long-grain rice and feasting.

The stealer did not panic, only raised his eyelids, and his mouth did not stop.

"Yo, the eldest lady is willing to enter the back kitchen, be careful of thunder." She still has the heart to taunt.

Shen Yueran was indifferent, deaf to her ridicule, and even more ignorant of her stealing.

The father and son of the Shen family go out to work during the day, and it is usually her aunt and sister-in-law who are at home, so their every move cannot be hidden from each other's eyes.

The first time I found Wu Zhaorong secretly eating was four years ago.

That time, Wu Zhaorong blushed, holding the rice bowl in mid-air, unable to speak for a long time.

Actually, she didn't want to see this scene at all.

Since Shen Minggong gave her the silver, it was her business to spend it as she wanted, so she couldn't make a fuss about nothing.

Just as she was about to pretend not to see it and turn to leave, Wu Zhaorong threw the bowl on the ground and pounced on her hair with teeth and claws.

"Dead girl, you want to sue, don't you? What's wrong with me eating a bowl of rice, what's wrong with me Wu Zhaorong eating a bowl of rice?! ”

"If it weren't for you, a lazy girl, who couldn't get married, how could I be so depressed that I had to hide and eat rice after eating it?"

"You old girl stays at home every day, she doesn't do any work, I still have to do laundry, cook and serve his grandfather, what's wrong with me eating rice?"

Shen Yueran snorted coldly.

It is not uncommon for a housewife in modern society to know a few self-defense techniques.

She easily dodged Wu Zhaorong's attack, three times and five times, and grabbed her backhand, tying Wu Zhaorong's two arms tightly behind her back.

"Ouch." Wu Zhaorong screamed in pain.

She let go of her hands and pushed with the momentum, Wu Zhaorong fell to the ground with inertia and couldn't get up.

"First, I didn't want to file a lawsuit. Second, you don't eat a bowl of rice much. Third, today's fall was not because you stole it, but because you were the first to sue the wicked. As long as you feel at ease, I don't care how you like to eat in the future, and if you see it, you shouldn't see it. However, if you want to use this bowl of rice to make waves in the Shen family and make trouble out of nothing, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

After speaking, she raised her head and left, leaving only Wu Zhaorong grinning with her teeth, scolding "dead girl" and "dead girl" non-stop.
