Du Shengnian temporarily stayed in the Shen family, and Li Zheng and his wife came with him.

Although Shen Xiuniang was not very happy in her heart, she was not stupid enough to show it in her face, seeing that the New Year was also coming, it was good to have a lively family at home.

The news that the Shen family saved a military master soon spread in this small mountain village. That is, from this day on, many villagers who were curious about Du Shengnian came to see the injured military master under various excuses.

Seeing that he has an extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance, even if he can only sit on the kang and is surrounded by some coarse linen clothes, he can't hide his extravagance.

"That military master is so good-looking, why didn't this kind of good thing of saving people come to my family's head? My family's big flower has just arrived, and I think it's quite suitable for that military master. ”

"Your big flowers have been promised to others, why are you still thinking about others, and you don't look at the courage of that military master, obviously not an ordinary big-headed soldier, I see, maybe you have become an official in the barracks! This kind of person, you have to be a beautiful girl like my sister Su to be worthy, your family is ...... big flower" This is the words that a certain lady dislikes very much.

"How can the military master look down on a family like us who was born with mud legs? I see, the luck of the mother and daughter of the Shen family is really good, they just moved into a new house, and they sent such a military master with an extraordinary temperament, isn't that old girl still married, I look at the good things that Shen Xiuniang made for the surnamed Du, shouldn't I want to marry that ugly monster to that military master? ”……

On a cold day, a few idle ladies came to Shen's house, sat in the main room and chatted, and when they saw Shen Xiuniang coming back with a needle and thread, they immediately shut up again.

Shen Xiuniang's face did not change and squinted at their broken mouths several times, but she was vomiting to death in her heart.

She didn't want to get something good for that Du Gongzi to eat, wasn't this Wang Sanniang rushing to tie up someone?

Thinking that Dr. Zhao said yesterday that he would leave people in his own home to recuperate, her heart became a little inexplicably uneasy, and her heart was beating rapidly.

"Hey, why is that girl in your house gone?" An eldest lady was an idle person, and when she saw that the atmosphere in the room was a little cold, she opened her mouth directly.

"Didn't a merchant come today, she said she wanted to buy something, so I asked her to join in the fun." Shen replied with a smile on his lips.

"No wonder I said I didn't see that girl in your house, by the way, Xiuniang, I'll tell you something." A lady wearing a dark gray placket jacket and a silver hairpin on her head, who looked very energetic, put down the flower cloth in her hand and said to Shen Xiuniang: "Your family is also eighteen, right?" If you don't marry again, you will really become an old girl. ”

The smile on Shen Xiuniang's face froze, and she said a little uncomfortably: "This is not Niannian's face......"

"Alas, the scar on that face is indeed a little ugly, but if you really look for it, you can still find a good man, my sister-in-law has a son, who is a down-to-earth master, but the family is a little poor, so I have not been able to marry a daughter-in-law, I look at your family and the temperament is not bad......" The woman's meaning is obvious, she wants to be this matchmaker.

Although her nephew's family is a little poor, but he is a good person, he works hard, and he is quite filial to his elders, anyway, Shen Niannian is also an old girl that no one wants, and it is good to be able to live with her nephew.

Shen Xiuniang couldn't hear what she meant, and without waiting for her to finish speaking, she refused without hesitation: "I appreciate my sister-in-law's kindness, but I really don't want my family to marry, anyway, we can make do with our mother's life together, so I don't bother you." ”

When the woman saw that she refused without even thinking about it, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Xiuniang, do you dislike my nephew's poor family?" ”

"You see that I look like that kind of person, this is not poor, as long as the human nature is good, I can get it, but I really can't bear my family's Susu, her face, I am also reluctant to let her go out and be wronged." Shen Xiuniang said with a smile, seeing that she was going to continue to speak, she hurriedly said: "I see that the time is not early, it's time to cook, and I won't leave a few sisters-in-law." ”

Seeing that she began to drive people away, several women immediately felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, but they felt that this Shen Xiuniang was too arrogant and looked down on a few of them.

So they didn't have any excuse to stay, so they took their things and left.

When Shen Niannian came back with her things, she saw several village ladies walking towards the door with resentment on their faces, and was about to say hello, when she heard them snort softly, she glanced at her with disgust, and left in a hurry.

"Isn't it just an ugly bastard, introducing her to a man who is still there and disgusting, and not looking at the ghost of her old girl, who would dare to marry a normal person? Don't scare people to death in the middle of the night! ”

"That's what I'm talking about! Why don't you give up your daughter, I see that Shen Xiuniang is not very good to her daughter, otherwise the old girl is still that thin after so many years, it is not easy to give birth! ”

"Okay, let's go back and cook for the master, lest they come back and curse again."

……

Standing by the door, listening to the dissatisfied departure of those aunts, Shen Niannian couldn't help but smile bitterly, raised his hand and touched his cheek.

Although the bumpy scar is indeed ugly, it has not reached the point where it scares people to death in the middle of the night, right?

I don't know what my mother said, but I provoked those aunts to be so angry.

"Niannian, what are you doing standing at the door? Come back soon. ”

Shen's voice directly called her back to her senses.

Shen Niannian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded, then ran over with his skirt, and saw that Shen was going to the kitchen, so he hurriedly rushed over to help.

Speaking of which, it's not bad for her eldest cousin here, because of the matter of recuperating from the injury, she also specially asked someone to buy some fresh pork from the town to come back, and the two of them can also touch the light of the eldest cousin.

When Shen Niannian entered the kitchen, Wang Sanniang had already boiled water, even if she was in the Shen family, she was not polite, just like in her own home, seeing them come in, she said with a smile: "There is fresh pork today, I will make some braised pork for the head and Du Gongzi, Niannian, you can make some porridge, I heard Du Gongzi say that he likes to drink the meat porridge you made yesterday." ”

Shen Niannian nodded obediently, "Then I'll go back to the house first and put my things away." ”

Shen Xiuniang stood aside, but her face was a little wrong, and she said lightly: "I'll make the porridge, you go back to your own house to rest, you didn't have a lot of work yesterday." ”

Shen Niannian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Sanniang again, and then nodded and smiled: "That's okay, I'll go wash the clothes first." ”

Saying that, she went out directly, but her attitude towards her cheap girl became more and more unpredictable.

Wang Sanniang smiled, as if she didn't see Shen's unhappiness, "Sister Shen, it's not good for you to love your daughter so much, if you don't do anything, you will become a lazy girl in the future, and it will be even more difficult to marry." ”

When Shen Xiuniang heard this, her face suddenly sank, she took a knife and cut a piece of minced meat, and began to chop the meat foam fiercely, while saying in a deep voice: "I won't agree to marry Niannian!" Definitely wouldn't agree! Those people...... How do you deserve her ......?"

The second half of the sentence was almost only audible to her.

Wang Sanniang glanced at her suspiciously, and began to mutter, why is this Shen Xiuniang so weird......
