Chapter Twenty-Three: Widow Zhang

"What's the use of this sweet potato? It's not nutritious and it doesn't taste good. I made pork ribs in the morning, and they tasted very good, you taste them, I specially marinated them for a long time, and I think they have already tasted. ”

Yu Shu picked up a piece of pork ribs, put it in his mouth, and said while eating, "Well, the pork ribs are really fragrant, this wild boar is different, it is exceptionally delicious and tender." ”

Then, as if he was still unfinished, he picked up another piece, put it in front of his nose, and took a sharp breath, "Well, it's so fragrant, do you want to taste it too." ”

Yu Shu deliberately got very close to Widow Zhang.

Widow Zhang's eyes were about to widen, she hadn't eaten for a few days, and it was already good to have a sweet potato.

But now there is some meat on the table, you know, she hasn't eaten meat for a long, long time.

Yu Shu did this, obviously to torture her.

Yu Shu handed it over, "Let's eat a piece, it's nothing." ”

Smelling the fragrance of meat, Widow Zhang seemed to be unable to restrain herself any longer, so she grabbed it directly and gnawed it down.

"Eat slowly." Yu Shu poured a glass of water for Widow Zhang, "Don't choke." ”

Widow Zhang ate a little anxiously, choked, coughed fiercely twice, drank a sip of water, and then continued to eat, like a hungry wolf who had not seen meat for a long time.

Voracious.

Isn't it a hungry wolf, Widow Zhang is a hungry wolf now.

After eating a whole portion of the ribs, Widow Zhang felt a little full.

"You, why are you helping me?"

Widow Zhang wiped the oil and water from the corner of her lips, and returned to her senses, "I have eaten so much meat from you, I have nothing to pay you back, and the two old hens at home will be compensated to you." ”

She is penniless, her family is surrounded by walls, and since the death of her husband, the family has no financial resources.

The people in the village said that she was the one who killed her husband.

The whole village spit on her and looked down on her.

She is weak, has little strength, and can't do tiring work, so she raises some chickens, ducks and geese on weekdays to barely survive.

But it's just enough to eat,

Originally, it was okay, but I don't know which one of the gods stole most of her chickens, ducks and geese, and they were all females.

She couldn't even get many eggs, she had nothing to go to the market to pay back, she had to starve.

Guarding the two old hens at home, I don't know when an egg will be laid.

No one ever said to help him, this was the first time someone had asked for help.

It's a really different feeling.

Hearing this, Yu Shu couldn't help but feel sad, and Widow Zhang was too miserable.

She searched for some information about Widow Zhang from the memory of the original owner, and Widow Zhang was also a poor person.

"This meal is for you to eat, you don't need to give money, you can rest assured." Yu Shu reassured.

"What?"

Widow Zhang was a little surprised that she didn't charge money after eating so much meat.

"I have something I want to ask you for, I don't know if you are willing or not, if you do, I dare to guarantee that you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future."

"What's the matter?"

Widow Zhang looked vigilant, she had long heard that this daughter-in-law of the Pei family was not serious, she couldn't cook at home, and she was not a good daughter-in-law at all.

It's just that people marry well and have a good man.

Just because of hunger, she didn't think about it so much, but now Widow Zhang is a lot calmer, and looking at Yu Shu's appearance, she suddenly feels a little dangerous.

"What do you want to do? I tell you, I won't do anything that doesn't keep women's morals! ”

Widow Zhang immediately stood up, her expression was serious, and she was very ambitious.

The rich cannot be lewd, and the poor cannot be bent.

Widow Zhang still understands this truth.

"Don't worry, it's all serious, and I won't let you do anything bad."

Afraid that Widow Zhang would leave, Yu Shu hurriedly said: "That's the case, I did some business in the town to sell lo-mei, and now I am short of manpower, I don't know if you are willing to help?" ”

"Selling lo-mei?" Widow Zhang frowned slightly.

Then, I heard Yu Shu's next sentence, "I have a good business, and I have opened a small shop in the town." The business of lo-mei is booming, and the demand for chickens, ducks and geese is also high, I want to ask, would you like to help me raise some chickens, ducks and geese? ”

"What ......"

Widow Zhang was incomprehensible for a while, raising chickens?

"Yes." Yu Shu nodded.

She can also find someone to supply, but it would be a pity that such a good place in the village is not well used.

"You just have to help me raise it, and I will give you silver money every month to feed you."

Widow Zhang thought about it and nodded with difficulty, "As long as what you say is true, it's fine." ”

She was so hungry that she wanted to eat and was able to eat enough every day.

"I want to eat well!" Widow Zhang added.

"Don't worry, the food is enough.

Yu Shu nodded, "I'll buy a batch of chickens and ducklings another day, and you can also take advantage of this time to learn how to raise them." ”

Widow Zhang patted her chest, "It's a trivial matter, I have raised chickens and ducks for many years, and I have experience in this regard!" ”

Yu Shu chatted with Widow Zhang for a while, from raising chickens and ducks, to the village.

"Alas, the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, you don't know, there are many women like me in the village, if they can be like me, it would be great."

"You can call them all, as long as they pass the assessment, they can stay with me and work."

Yu Shu is happy, this is the time when there is a shortage of manpower.

It's all from a village, and I don't dare to make random mistakes when I want to.

And it can help some people, so why not?

After sending Widow Zhang away, it didn't take long for Pei Qinglin to return.

Yu Shu had mentioned this idea to Pei Qingrin, so when he heard Yu Shu say, Pei Qinglin was not surprised, and his expression was still a little calm.

"It's a good way to help the widows in the village, and it's also convenient for us."

"I also think it's good, Pei Qingrin, you have to take care of the family affairs in the future."

Here, as well as in the town, she can't avoid it.

Therefore, Pei Qingrin's support is needed.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you at home."

"By the way, you haven't had dinner yet, I'll cook later!" Yu Shu suddenly remembered that the food she left behind had been eaten by Widow Zhang.

Yu Shu went to the kitchen and simply fried a few side dishes.

Xiaobao is also back.

Father and son were waiting for dinner to start in the hall.

Looking at the appearance of one big and one small sitting together, Yu Shu's eyes had an indissolvable softness, "You two eat slowly." ”

"My mother's cooking is getting better and better." Xiaobao ate a big bowl of rice, and he couldn't get enough of it.

The food cooked by my mother seems to have magic power, and every time he can't eat enough, he still wants to eat!

"It's delicious!"

Seeing that Xiaobao was going to be prosperous again, Yu Shu raised his hand and left.

Xiaobao was puzzled, "Mother, Xiaobao hasn't eaten yet!" ”

"You can't eat too much for dinner, otherwise it will be uncomfortable, so my mother will take the things first."

No matter how much Xiaobao pleaded, Yu Shu didn't change his mind and brought the things back to the kitchen.

Xiaobao shouted grievances!

"It's so unfair to my mother!"

"Huh?" Yu Shu turned his head to look.

"Why can Daddy eat as much as he wants, but Xiaobao can't!"
