Chapter 228: Like a Beggar Woman

Shen Shuisheng also had confidence after selling the peach gum to get the silver, so he didn't have the heart to study at all in the past two days, and only came back in the middle of the night last night, saying that he was talking about good articles with a few classmates, but in fact, he went to drink flower wine, and with so much silver, he felt that there were still a lot of things to do.

Although Wang Baoniang was a little dissatisfied with his laxity and not studying in the past two days, she also believed that he was only relaxing for two days, after all, he had lived tremblingly all these years, and she was naturally distressed as a lady.

Suddenly there was an extra thousand taels of silver on hand, Rao is Wang Baoniang was a little happy, and she also went out during the day to buy some jewelry at the largest jewelry shop in the town.

When Shen Chuntao arrived at Wang's rice shop, Shen Shuisheng went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to buy some books, and at the same time went to Manfulou to check the situation.

Wang Baoniang went to buy jewelry, and the old lady Wang, who was guarding the rice shop, knew that her son-in-law was a younger sister, and knew that she was a maid in Yang Mansion, although she felt that she didn't seem to be right, but she was very satisfied with the fact that her son-in-law gave them two old men and one hundred taels of silver, and naturally she had a little more good face towards Shen Chuntao, and she went into the backyard to wait for Shen Shuisheng to come back.

It wasn't until noon that Wang Baoniang came home, and Shen Lotus and the maid who followed her were holding jewelry boxes in their hands.

Mrs. Wang also got a pearl bracelet, so she naturally forgot that there was a Shen Chuntao waiting for her son-in-law.

"Mother, there are a lot of sea pearl jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion today, and even the county princess and his wife have bought a lot of good things there, you can take a look at this pearl necklace, it will cost twenty taels of silver, I have to make the shopkeeper give me five taels of silver less, you can wear it and take a look."

When Mrs. Wang saw the pearl bracelet, her eyes lit up, and she was a little distressed when she heard that it cost twenty taels of silver, "Why is it so expensive, you can buy it with the lotus, I'm old, why are you wearing this?" ”

Wang Baoniang explained, "Twenty taels of silver is not expensive, and I usually don't buy you any gifts, so it's nothing." ”

Shen Hehua on the side had already put on her agate bracelet, and also raised her wrist for the two of them to see, "Grandma, mother, look at my agate bracelet, is it very beautiful?" There are also silver beads, thirty taels of silver, which is not expensive at all, and I heard that the favorite of the official wives and young ladies in the capital is this agate. ”

Mrs. Wang nodded, and nodded with satisfaction after putting on the pearl bracelet, feeling that her daughter was filial and her granddaughter was really beautiful.

Shen Chuntao didn't eat in the morning, nor did she buy food on the street, so she came directly to Wang's rice shop, waited early in the morning, and saw that it was noon, and there was no one in Wang's backyard, and no one seemed to plan to get her food.

Although Shen Chuntao was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she also knew that her third brother was not there, and the third sister-in-law would definitely not take her seriously, she walked through the yard to the rice shop in front, and before she opened the curtain, she heard the voice of her third sister-in-law, so she quietly opened the curtain and saw this scene.

Twenty taels of silver pearl bracelet, thirty taels of silver agate bracelet, and she clearly saw that her third sister-in-law was wearing a gold step on her head that could blind her eyes, and she knew that it was not cheap at a glance.

Shen Chuntao never thought that her monthly silver in Yang Mansion was only one or two silver, but her third sister-in-law's family wore gold and silver, which made her eyes red with jealousy.

The Wang family is developed, so her third brother must also have silver! Thinking of this, Shen Chuntao quietly retreated, planning to continue to wait for her third brother, and then ask for money from him, no matter what, she was not happy to go back to Xishan Village to live, if the people in the village knew that she was kicked out of the Yang Mansion, they didn't know how to arrange her.

Mrs. Wang got something good, and she remembered for a while that there was still a Shen Chuntao waiting in the backyard.

When Wang Baoniang learned that her sister-in-law was coming, her face was expressionless, she just asked the maid to get her something to eat, and took out the snacks specially packed for her mother, so she waited in the front shop, and she didn't plan to see Shen Chuntao.

Shen Shuisheng had a big meal in Manfu Building before coming home, and he was a little surprised to see his wife and children talking and chatting in the rice shop in front of him, and many guests came to buy rice and beans.

Wang Baoniang saw that his face was a little red, and she knew that he was going to drink, and suddenly stood up with some displeasure, "Xianggong, why are you drinking again?" ”

Shen Shuisheng waved his hand, "The shopkeeper asked me to drink some, I naturally can't shirk it, why are you sitting here?" I'll go back and rest for a while. ”

Wang Baoniang thought of the more than 1,000 taels of silver, and didn't say anything, reminding him that Shen Chuntao was waiting in the backyard.

Shen Shuisheng immediately understood why they were all staying in front, so he also walked to the backyard to find Shen Chuntao.

"Third brother, where have you been? How did you come back? ”

"Spring peach? Why do you look like this? Why are your clothes in tatters? ”

Shen Chuntao's face sank, and he added fuel and vinegar to say that he had been wronged by Mrs. He, and knelt down with a handful of snot and tears to beg him.

"Third brother, you have to help me."

Shen Shuisheng never expected that she would be kicked out by the Yang Mansion, no matter what it was, but she had been kicked out, and it was estimated that she couldn't go back, she was begging herself now, how could he have a way. 180

Shen Shuisheng said in disgust, "Let me help you?" How can I help? ”

He had drunk a lot of wine, and he was dizzy at this moment, so naturally he didn't have the heart to talk to her much.

Shen Chuntao wiped her tears and hurriedly stood up, "Third brother, you go to the Yang Mansion to help me find the young master to come out, I told him in person that he likes me, and he will definitely let me go back to the Yang Mansion again." ”

Shen Shuisheng had heard his mother Wan Shi say that his sister was thinking about being the aunt of the Yang Mansion all day long, but he didn't expect it to be true, he really felt very speechless when he heard it at this time.

"Shen Chuntao, don't you know what kind of people are in Yang Mansion? Then can Young Master Yang look down on you as a little girl? You've been kicked out now, and you want me to go to Young Master Yang? Do you want me to be happy if I offend the Yang Mansion? I won't help you, since you have nowhere to go, hurry home, I'm tired all day, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. ”

Shen Chuntao originally thought that she still had a chance, but who knew that Shen Shuisheng didn't give her any affection, so he rejected her directly, which made her eyes widen and she didn't react for a while.

Shen Shuisheng frowned, turned around and walked out directly, and Shen Chuntao made trouble with him, "Third brother, if you don't help me, I, I will stay at your house and not leave." ”

Shen Shuisheng drove people away unceremoniously, "This is the Wang family, but there is no place for you to sleep, you can go home and play." ”

Shen Chuntao almost didn't come up in one breath, picked up the burden in his hand and smashed him, crying and smashing while scolding him, Wang Baoniang, who walked back to the backyard, heard the sound and saw that the sister-in-law was beating her father-in-law, so she naturally stepped forward and dragged her away with the maid.

"Chun Tao, what are you doing here? Why do you beat your third brother, you are too unruly? ”

Shen Chuntao cried so much that her eyes were covered with tears, she knew that if her third brother was unwilling to help her, she would definitely not be able to see her young master, and if she went to guard near the Yang Mansion, she would definitely not be able to spare her if Mrs. Yang knew.

At this time, seeing the golden step on Wang Baoniang's bun, she was even more sad, and felt that she was simply humiliating herself.

She wiped a handful of tears fiercely, "Okay, okay, third brother, I don't ask you, I don't ask you!" In the future, I will be a third brother without a conscience like you, do you really think I am rare. ”

With that, she turned and ran out without looking back.

Shen Shuisheng looked at her back, sighed heavily, and didn't care about Wang Baoniang's inquiry, but went back to the house to lie down.

After Shen Chuntao ran out of Wang's rice shop, she went to the street to buy some food, and she didn't dare to cry on the street, for fear of being embarrassed.

Originally, she wanted to take Lao Litou's ox cart back to Xishan Village, but when she saw a few women in the car who didn't know what they were talking about, she was also a little weak-hearted, and inexplicably felt that they might be talking about being kicked out by the Yang Mansion, so she didn't dare to take the car, but walked back to Xishan Village directly.

This time, Shen Chuntao walked for almost two hours, and it didn't take that long, but when she saw an acquaintance approaching, she hid, afraid of being seen, and she hadn't walked so far for a long time, so she didn't have any strength at all, and when she walked to Xishan Village, her legs were almost useless, and she looked very embarrassed, her hair was messy, and she really looked like a beggar woman.

Shen Shuang swore that she glanced at Shen Chuntao, but when that glance fell in Shen Chuntao's eyes, she thought she was ridiculing and laughing at herself.

There were also stones and hills on the side, I had never seen such an embarrassed sister-in-law who looked like a beggar mother-in-law, and they all stared at her with round eyes, and they almost didn't recognize her before they ran in just now, and thought it was a beggar mother-in-law who had come to the village to ask for trouble.

Shen Chuntao saw the eyes of the three of them, and the thorns all over his body were raised, and he didn't know if he felt that he could show off his might and scold people when he got home, so he scolded people directly with his waist crossed, which was very similar to Wan's scolding appearance.

"What are you two little bunnies looking at? Uneducated things, look at it and gouge out your eyeballs. ”

This sentence frightened Shi and Xiaoshan couldn't help but shrink their necks, and the two of them took a step back together, but they didn't intend to provoke her, they only felt that this sister-in-law was like a crazy woman, and they were very similar to their milk Wan.

Shen Chuntao was satisfied to see the two little radish heads showing frightened eyes, turned to look at Shen Shuang, who was silent on the side, and suddenly realized that Shen Shuang had lost more than half of his weight than when he first came back before, although the whole person looked a little fat, but his face was fair, not like a country girl at all, and then look at her, she applied rouge and gouache every day, and she was not as white.

Shen Chuntao scolded with a sharp voice, "You fat pig, you still learn from others to lose weight, I'm sorry, you don't look at what you look like, you're embarrassed to look at me." What the hell is this, it stinks, I think you stink as much as this fish. ”

Shen Shuang was not easy to bully, so she stood up expressionlessly and looked at this nervous sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" I see you stink, and suddenly rushed into the house like a beggar woman, so you better hurry up and take a shower. ”

Beggar mother-in-law? Shen Chuntao was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glance down at herself, and sniffed her sleeves, sure enough, it was a sour smell, although she was angry, she didn't want to lose face in front of her, so she raised her head, "Then why don't you go and boil water for me to bathe, I'll go into the house first, and you can fetch water for me immediately." ”

With that, she hurried into the house.

As for Shen Shuang, she didn't seem to hear her 'order', and continued to sit on the small bench and cut the fillets to be made into sauerkraut fish.
