024: The Shen family who is getting stronger
Shen Xiuniang stood at the door, wearing coarse linen clothes, and carrying a small bamboo basket on her arm, in which were some sewing fabrics, and looked at the ladies and aunts who spoke just now with an expressionless face.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little awkward, Wang Sanniang saw that she was about to ease the atmosphere, so she stood up, walked towards Shen Xiuniang with a few freshly baked potatoes in her hands, and said happily: "Sister Shen, come and taste this potato, it is fragrant when it is baked." β
Shen Xiuniang was angry, but she also took the potato, just hooked her lips, pulled out a smile that was not obvious, and said in a cold tone: "Sanniang, I know that you are here to take care of Du Gongzi, but after all, this is still my new house, of course you are welcome to come to my house, and I am the host, but some people, even if they speak, have to have their brains, right?" Occupying my family's land and gossiping about my family behind my back, can you save some face for yourself? β
The faces of the ladies who spoke just now suddenly became ugly, and they immediately stood up, ready to reply with a few words.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiuniang said in a weird manner: "Yo, a few aunts are leaving, right?" Then I won't send you away, my house is also ready to turn off the fire, don't be surprised! β
Several eldest ladies were angry and their faces were pale, but when they saw Sanniang glancing at them on the side, they had to reluctantly take something and leave angrily.
But fortunately, Shen Xiuniang didn't get angry, she just pursed her lips and snorted coldly with disdain, which made the other women in the room frown, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.
It seems that this Shen Xiuniang was looking down on them just now.
For a while, everyone also stood up.
"Sanniang, it's almost time to cook, let's go back first, next time we talk together, let's not bother us today."
The fat aunt who was the leader stood up and laughed haha, packed up her things and walked out directly, and the rest of the women also said hello and left outside.
When only the three of them were left in such a room, Wang Sanniang frowned and sighed: "Sister Shen, you will offend people!" You don't know what kind of virtue those people are, so why can't you bear it for a while? β
Shen Xiuniang laughed and sighed: "Sanniang, don't you know what I am?" I have endured it for so many years in the Liu family, and now I finally have my own home, and I don't have to look at other people's faces to live, why do I have to be angry in my own home? Now I've figured it out, they can say whatever they like, and I won't drop two pieces of meat anyway, right? β
Wang Sanniang opened her mouth and looked at Shen Xiuniang with a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she didn't know her.
Shen Xiuniang laughed twice, and didn't mind Wang Sanniang pondering by herself, but turned her head to look at Shen Niannian who was sitting on the stool, "Niannian, tomorrow, you go to Uncle Niu's house and buy some beans and come back, this town is in chaos, and you can't buy tofu, so you can only grind it yourself." β
The original owner likes to eat the tofu minced meat made by Shen Xiuniang the most, although the tofu is more and less meaty, but that is also when she was in the Liu family, she rarely ate meat.
The tofu and pork were crushed into foam, put a little meat oil, and even the tofu paste had a meat smell when it was just out of the pot, even Mrs. Liu would not allow them to eat the tofu paste with the smell of meat.
Therefore, every time Shen Niannian heard that Shen Xiuniang wanted to make tofu by herself, she was so happy every time she heard that she wanted to make tofu by herself.
Now that the owner of this body has become her, Shen Niannian naturally doesn't think that the tofu paste is anything delicious, but she still looks excited, and responds directly: "Okay, mother!" β
"Look at you girl, isn't it just a piece of tofu, why didn't I see you so happy even if I lived in a new house." Shen Xiuniang scolded with a smile.
Shen Niannian's face turned slightly red, pursed her lips and smiled: "Aren't I happy." β
After observing the two of them for a while, I felt that except for Shen Xiuniang's temperament, which seemed to have become a little tough, there was no difference from before, and the relationship between mother and daughter was still deep.
Now that this change in personality, I'm afraid that Liu Er is also heartbroken, and he has to be strong, right?
Wang Sanniang thought of this, and the dissatisfaction with Shen Xiuniang just now suddenly disappeared, and she compared her heart to her heart, if she was abandoned by her husband's family, it is estimated that there would be no reason to live in this world, and when she returned to her parents' house, there was no place for her, so after thinking about it, she admired Shen Xiuniang a little.
After so many years of hard work for the Liu family, she can still hide the silver in her hands, it seems that this woman is really not stupid, otherwise where would she be able to live in such a big new house now?
You must know that the entire Tuozi Village, before this, but only their family could live in a blue brick courtyard house, and Shen Xiuniang took the silver to build one without making a sound, and she did have some skills.
"It's not too early at this time, I should go home too, Sister Shen, if this Du Gongzi has anything to do at night, you can knock on Brother Heng'er's door, that kid knows how to take care of people." Wang Sanniang thought about it a few times, but there was no show on her face, and she happily took her things and left.
However, Shen Xiuniang's eyes flashed when she heard the words 'Du Gongzi', and she responded with a smile.
"Mother, is the fire in our house going to be extinguished?" Shen Niannian didn't pay attention to Shen's strange appearance, but pointed to the brazier in the middle of the hall.
Shen Xiuniang came back to her senses, looked at the brazier and saw that there were still a few pieces of unburned charcoal in the brazier, and hurriedly used a fire hook to get them out, "I'll get this pot, you go and boil some water for Du Gongzi first, I just heard Brother Heng say that Du Gongzi wants to wipe his body." β
Shen Niannian nodded, "Then I'll go, mother." β
Shen Xiuniang was busy getting out the unburned carbon, after all, this thing is a good thing, countrymen like them, few people are really willing to buy it and burn it, and now while Wang Sanniang and they are away, they can get a little bit of it.
Shen Niannian also knew that Shen Xiuniang had been tossed and scared before, and she couldn't see good things being wasted.
Although it is only the lowest grade of black charcoal, it costs dozens of dollars a catty, where can ordinary people afford to burn it?
As soon as he walked into the kitchen with his lower skirt, he saw Li Jiaheng frowning at the stove, heard the sound of footsteps, and saw her walk in, his eyes suddenly became happy, and he hurriedly said: "Sister Shen family, this Du Gongzi wants to eat the meat porridge you made, can you trouble you to make him a bowl at this time?" β
Porridge with meat?
Shen Niannian looked at him suspiciously, although her skills were good, but the meat porridge was really not delicious to that extent, right? Why did the eldest cousin seem to be tired of eating, so he ordered her to make porridge? However, looking at Li Jiaheng's appearance, it is estimated that he was also very puzzled, so he didn't ask much, but just responded: "Nacheng, Brother Heng, you go out first, and when I finish the porridge, I will serve it to you." β
