Chapter 244: Sophistry
After coming out of Jinxiuzhuang, Shen Shuang walked around the street to buy some bits and pieces, and by the way, he saw if there were any businessmen from the north and south who were setting up stalls, and also bought some things that were not available here.
However, there is nothing to gain after walking around, Shen Shuang is not disappointed, and plans to visit more in the future, after all, there are pineapples in the south, and there must be other fruits after a while.
On the other side, Shen Musheng came to Wang's rice shop to return the silver.
Shen Shuisheng was still early today, so he didn't have time to go out to eat and drink with his classmates, and the two elders of the Wang family went out to visit friends together, so he helped watch the shop in the Wang's rice shop and read books by the way.
From time to time, a guest who bought rice made Shen Shuisheng a little irritable, and he didn't read the book anymore, and just sat down after a busy morning, Shen Musheng drove a mule cart to the door, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Big brother? How did you get here? ”
Shen Musheng got out of the car, didn't say anything else, first took out three taels of silver from his arms and handed them to Shen Shuisheng.
"Third brother, this is the three taels of silver I borrowed from my third brother and sister yesterday, please transfer it to the third brother and sister, I still have something to do, so I will go first."
After Shen Musheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, he didn't plan to stay, yesterday the Wang family treated him like that, and the mule cart didn't let him rest at the door, he was worried that he would be ridiculed again for a while.
Although he is an honest man, he is also more amiable and does not like to be disliked again and again, after all, he also has self-esteem.
As for his third brother, now Shen Musheng has actually seen him clearly, and he usually doesn't interact much, so it's better for the two to deal less with each other, and avoid any contradictions, and it is estimated that there will be another trouble when the time comes.
Shen Musheng was about to leave when he said this, Shen Shuisheng was confused and naturally wanted to stop, "Big brother, wait, when did you ask Bao Niang to borrow silver?" What happened? ”
Shen Musheng had already sat in the car and described the facts lightly, of course, he didn't intend to be uninterested in provoking the relationship between their husband and wife, but there was still some unhappiness in his tone, obviously he, who was a son, didn't know that his mother was beaten, so he naturally wouldn't help Wang Baoniang.
"Yesterday, my mother accompanied Chun Tao to the town to find Young Master Yang and was touched by my aunt, my mother couldn't resist my aunt's ridicule, so I fought with my aunt just a few dozen meters in front, and the people from the yamen also came to see the situation, and my mother was beaten so that she couldn't move on the ground, so I had to send her and Chun Tao to the hospital."
Shen Shuisheng heard that Wan Shi was lying on the ground and couldn't move, and his face showed a very anxious expression, "What? My mother was beaten by my aunt? So how was she hurt? Why didn't you tell me? Then big brother, you don't take care of your mother at home, what are you doing in town? ”
Shen Musheng frowned unhappily when he heard Shen Shuisheng's accusation, but he didn't show an angry expression, "Sending my mother and Chun Tao to the hospital to see a doctor, the consultation fee and the medicine fee add up to three or four taels of silver." I didn't have enough money with me, so I naturally had to come to you, but the third brother and sister said that you were sick last night, and I couldn't see you, so I had to ask her to borrow it. ”
Shen Shuisheng's mouth moved, but he didn't know how to answer, Shen Musheng saw his expression in his eyes, "It seems that the third brother and sister didn't mention it to you, if there is anything unclear, you should go and ask the third brother and sister, I still have something to do, go first, you take the silver and hand it over to the third brother and sister." ”
Shen Musheng also rushed to the carpenter shop in the town to find his cousin, that is, Wang's son, and told him about what happened yesterday, although he had negotiated before, but yesterday's incident was really too big.
Shen Shuisheng was stunned, and Shen Musheng drove away in a mule cart, and he couldn't stop screaming.
Wang Baoniang was busy in the backyard, and seeing that things were done, she also came out of the rice shop in front of her to help, but saw her father-in-law at the door in a daze, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Why are you standing stupidly at the door? You go rest and read, I'll just look at the rice shop here. ”
Shen Shuisheng turned his head when he heard the voice, and then slapped the three taels of silver in his hand on the table heavily, so frightened that Wang Baoniang, who was still smiling on her face, suddenly lost color, and couldn't help but reach out and cover her heart, "Xianggong, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Why are you so angry all of a sudden? ”
Shen Shuisheng rarely blushes with Wang Baoniang, but when there is a disagreement on some things, the two husbands and wives will still quarrel, for example, now, he suddenly feels that his honest eldest brother just now is sarcastic about himself, and this is all caused by his good wife.
Shen Shuisheng pointed to the silver on the table, "Big brother returned your silver, you put it away." ”
When Wang Baoniang heard this, she suddenly realized, and just wanted to explain, Shen Shuisheng sneered, but she didn't look at her.
"It seems that some people still don't think of themselves as the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, my mother is sick and sees a doctor, and my eldest brother comes to me to get money, but it becomes a loan from you."
"Now it's okay, my eldest brother is here to repay the money, if this reaches the ears of our village, what will others think of me? They will say that it is unfilial for me not to support my father, and my father and mother are not willing to pay when they are sick, and even if I am admitted to Xiucai in the future, it is estimated that others will look down on me. ”
When Wang Baoniang heard this, she was suddenly shocked, "Xianggong, you really misunderstood me, how could I be like this?" My eldest brother came to me to borrow money, but he didn't mention that it was for my mother's medical treatment, and if he really mentioned it, how could I say to borrow it? ”
Wang Baoniang didn't expect that such an honest man as Shen Musheng would 'sue', she originally planned to talk to Shen Shuisheng about these things in the morning, but she was busy with other things, so she forgot about it.
In order not to affect the relationship between the two, Wang Baoniang had an idea and hurriedly pushed the pot on Shen Musheng, anyway, the two would not confront each other, even if they wanted to find any witnesses at that time, her family would naturally help her, Wang Baoniang was not worried at all.
Hearing this, Shen Shuisheng suddenly looked at his wife with suspicion, Wang Baoniang was worried, but her face was very calm, and she didn't seem to be weak at all, in fact, she was a little worried that Shen Musheng said something else.
Shen Shuisheng recalled the words of his eldest brother Shen Musheng just now, and it seemed that he didn't exactly mention that he came to borrow silver to treat his mother, maybe he didn't mention it, so Wang Baoniang would say that he borrowed it, so he was quickly relieved.
But even if he was relieved, Shen Shuisheng didn't plan to apologize to Wang Baoniang, "Even so, you don't know why you have to ask Big Brother why he came here to borrow money at night?" He's my big brother! Mother and Chun Tao had such a big incident, and there was an accident on the street in front, could it be that you haven't heard of it? ”
Wang Baoniang naturally knew about this, but she couldn't say that she deliberately ignored it, so as not to make her Wang family's rice shop lose face, and then the people on the whole street would probably laugh at their rice shop.
"Xianggong, I was a little dizzy yesterday, I was sitting in the house, where do I know such a thing, I still have to take care of you when you come back, where are you still in the mood to ask the eldest brother what's going on, he wants to borrow silver, I just lend it to him."
There was nothing wrong with Wang Baoniang's answer, and Shen Shuisheng had nothing to say, "My mother was beaten very badly, you go to find a car in a while, buy some supplements, let's go back to the village to see my mother, and go back and forth that day." ”
Wang Baoniang naturally didn't dare to have any objections, they got so much silver, and naturally they would not be stingy with the silver for renting a mule cart, and they would be able to show their faces in front of the people of Xishan Village when the time came, which was also a good thing.
When Shen Musheng came back from the carpenter's shop, it was already past noon, and Shen Shuang had finished purchasing, and by the way, she took her father to eat a lunch with pineapple grunt meat.
Every time Yunlailou launches a new dish, there will be a lot of guests, especially the private room on the second floor, which is really full every day, and it is not some wives and ladies from outside the town who come to the town, or some merchants who temporarily stay in the backing town, all of whom are not bad for money.
If there is really no private room left, everyone sitting in the lobby will not dislike it, and there is a storyteller Mr. Meng telling stories, I don't know how to attract people to come and listen, and many of them are willing to sit together at the table.
Shen Musheng was reluctant to occupy such a good position to eat such an expensive meal at first, but when he heard that today's special dish was made by the master of his daughter's church kitchen, he immediately had no objection, he also wanted to taste what kind of delicious food it was, after all, he could trust his daughter's craftsmanship.
After eating the pineapple fried rice that was so delicious that he wanted to make people cry, Shen Musheng was very moved, and he didn't know how to express his discomfort, his girl was really amazing, and she could teach the cook of Yunlailou to cook, but he was a man who didn't know how to express his feelings, and his mouth opened at this time, but he didn't know how to praise his daughter.
The four of them were eating with Jiang Zitong, and Shen Tusheng, who came in with the dishes, found that his eldest brother was also eating here, and he was the guy serving the dishes, so he was naturally a little unbalanced and unhappy.
However, the young lady in his own restaurant was also there, Shen Tusheng naturally did not show his expression, these days he faced the guests every day, plus some experience he learned when he ran errands in the town before, Shen Tusheng did not show half of his dissatisfaction, he first called Miss Eight, and then stood aside and talked to Shen Musheng.
"Big brother, why did you come to town today?"
Because Shen Tusheng has been busy, and Xiao Wan didn't mention Wan's injury just now, he didn't know what happened yesterday.
Shen Musheng also planned to mention to him that he would go home and see when he could, but when he asked, he naturally didn't hide it, "I'll come to find the third brother and return the money to him." Yesterday, my mother and aunt were injured in a fight in the town, and I was also dizzy, so I sent my mother to the hospital to see the doctor and went home, but I forgot to come and talk to you. ”
Shen Tusheng didn't think about such a thing, and hurriedly asked about Wan's injury.
When Jiang Zitong on the side heard this, he couldn't help but quietly ask Shen Shuang, "Fight?" Sister Shen, your grandmother, did she fight with others? ”
Shen Shuang nodded calmly, "Well, the fight with my aunt is right in the town." ”
Jiang Zitong's eyes widened, and before he could ask more, the stone who was eating on the side looked up, "Sister Zitong, my milk was beaten like a pig's head, and I can't speak." ”
Shen Shuang: "......"
Jiang Zitong: "......"
Shen Musheng also looked up at him: "......"
Shi noticed that everyone was looking at him, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, Shen Tusheng wanted to beat him, but considering that Jiang Zitong was here, it was not easy to do it, but there was no shortage of reprimands, "Then why didn't you tell me just now?" ”
Stone's eyes widened, and he said innocently, "I forgot." ”
Everyone: "......"
Wan's injury was so serious, Shen Tusheng naturally wanted to go home to visit, but there was a lot of work in Yunlailou today, and he couldn't get out, so Jiang Zitong allowed him to go home after noon, so Shen Shuang and the others stayed until the end of the day before taking a mule cart back to Xishan Village.
