Old man Shen has been smoking a dry cigarette since he went back to the hall and sat down, and when he saw Wan Shi coming in, he also pretended that she didn't exist, he knew that she was going to make trouble, but he never thought that she wanted to buy a little mule, and almost didn't make him angry.

Old man Shen slammed the dry tobacco stick on the table, which startled Wan Shi, and then he said angrily, "You old woman, why do you keep thinking about the little mule?" As the boss said, the third child doesn't come home very often, even if there is that little mule, what's the use? I think you just can't see the boss and his family doing well! ”

Although Old Man Shen also favored his youngest son, he hoped that he would be admitted to the show so that the old Shen family could glorify his ancestors, but after waiting for so many years, he didn't know if he could wait until this day.

The family should help all the helpers, the old man Shen sometimes regrets that he is so partial, the same son, he gave everything good to the third child, but he put the burden of supporting the family on the boss, in the dead of night, occasionally he can't sleep, afraid that the eldest son will resent him.

Wan Shi didn't know if he was unhappy when he was exposed, so he immediately straightened his face, "What are you talking about?" I'm all thinking about the third child, the boss has land to cultivate, what does the third child have? ”

Thinking that his youngest son did not live at home, Wan Shi felt uncomfortable, and when he thought about it, he began to wipe his tears, and he didn't know how true it was.

"The third child has been living in the town all these years, which seems to be quite decent, but he lives in his father-in-law's house, and because his family is poor, there is nothing to help him. I'm not afraid that he will be looked down upon? Aren't you afraid that our old Shen family will be talked about behind our back? Can I still do it for myself? ”

"Don't you know how many people in the village are chewing on the root of their tongues in secret, saying that although our third child is not rich on the surface, it is similar to the rice shop of the Wang family, and the food and accommodation are in the old father's house, and they are supported by the old father-in-law. Old man, I want face too, but our family is poor, what can I do? ”

When the old man Shen heard this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't help sighing, but in the end, he relented, took out thirty taels of silver, and bought a small mule and mule cart for Shen Shuisheng, which could also earn a decent income, at least more beautiful than a big house.

After Shen Musheng entered the house, he happened to see Xu Shi lying on the kang wiping his tears, he hurriedly explained what had just happened, he would not lie, but he still avoided the important and said something lightly.

After hearing this, Xu learned that their big house was almost kicked out of the house, and the sense of grievance also came to his heart.

"This ...... Xiaoshan's father, why is she so partial? The little mule is the recipe that Miss Jiang exchanged, and it was earned by Xiaoshuang by her ability, and it was really chilling for her mother to do this. ”

Shen Musheng and the Xu family have always known the origin of the little mule, and Shen Shuang did not hide it from them, but they hid it from the two elders of the Shen family, saying that it was given by Miss Jiang, and it was also to avoid making a similar thing about selling or giving away the little mule when the time came, but they didn't expect that such a thing would still happen, which also proved that the Wan family did not take their big house in their eyes.

Shen Musheng wanted to persuade his wife not to complain about Wan's, but he felt that Wan's was too much this time, his mouth moved, and he didn't know how to speak.

Shen Musheng thought deeply that the Shen family would not be separated, except for the possibility that his mother was determined to drive them away, maybe their family would have to be tortured all the time, and he had a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he sat on the side with his head in his hands at this time, "Xiaoshan Niang, it's because I don't have the ability to let you and Xiaoshuang and Xiaoshan have been wronged, it's useless for me." ”

Xu Shi also felt sorry for his man, and hurriedly persuaded him in a dumb voice, "Child, father, don't say that, as long as our family is together, if we can live a good life, we can continue to live, even if we can't live it...... It can only be struggling. ”

When Shen Musheng heard this, the discomfort in his heart deepened.

Shen Musheng actually didn't want to change, but his character is like this, and it is impossible to change, but he doesn't want to be compromised like this anymore, he can do this, but he doesn't want his wife, daughter, and son to continue to be cattle and horses for this family, but he can't get his mother's good words.

Wan and Old Man Shen didn't know that Shen Musheng was already cold to them, and at this time, the two of them discussed the matter of taking the silver out, and planned to transport the remaining peach gum to the town and sell it at Wang's rice shop, and the money from the sale of peach gum was kept by Shen Shuisheng, and they didn't want it.

There was such a big incident, and dinner was delayed.

The weather is not cold now, so the Shen family's dinner is usually eaten in the courtyard, Shen Zhuzi sets the table, and Shi and Xiaoshan help serve the dishes and chopsticks.

Wan Shi was still angry, originally thinking about not eating, but he didn't dare to be hypocritical when Old Man Shen said a few words, so he had to sit at the table reluctantly, but she didn't look at Shen Musheng and Shen Shuang in her eyes, and others didn't want to look at her.

But seeing the dumplings on the table, Wan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a bite, and found that it was full of meat filling, and she immediately became troubled, of course, she still slapped the chopsticks after eating the remaining dumplings.

And Xiao Wan, who had just come back from feeding the pigs, picked up the dishes and chopsticks directly with the dumplings without washing his hands, and was shocked by her such a move, and the dumplings fell to the ground.

Everyone at the table looked at her together, including Shen Shuang, who had just brought dumplings to Xu's, she glanced at Wan's lightly, and didn't move, just waiting for her to make a move.

Old man Shen had just taken a sip of dumpling soup, and he was almost not frightened, he just wanted to praise Shen Shuang's dumpling soup for being delicious, but it couldn't be up or down, he could only scold Wan's.

"What are you doing here, old woman? Okay, what's your temper? It's noisy all day long, and the family dog is restless, can you still have a good meal? ”

Although Old Man Shen's words were accusatory, his tone was relatively soft, and Shen Shuang knew what agreement the two had reached in the hall when he heard it, otherwise it would be impossible for him to speak so kindly just after the quarrel.

Wan didn't care about Old Man Shen's words, but glared directly at Shen Shuang, "What is this?" What is it? Yes? ”

Shen Shuang glanced at the plate she was pointing to, which was full of meat dumplings, and said lightly, "Milk, this dumpling, haven't you already eaten one just now?" ”

Shen Shuang's tone didn't fluctuate, and she was really tired, too lazy to choke with Wan's, at this time she was in trouble, just thinking of a way to clean her up, and she didn't care.

Wan Shi was very angry, pointed at her and scolded, "Okay, you, it turns out that you know it's dumplings, and when I see you, you're the same as your mother's loser." Is it Chinese New Year? How much meat do you have to use to make such a large pot of dumplings? How much money do you have to spend on meat? Do you think our old Shen family is a foreigner? Yes? Boss, I think it's better for your girl to marry out quickly, otherwise our old Shen family will be eaten by her. ”

Shen Musheng didn't expect his mother to be so domineering, because a pot of dumplings could also accuse Shen Shuang like this, he was anxious, but he was also as stupid as Xu's, and he didn't know how to distinguish Shen Shuang for a while.

Shen Cuini on the side had already put the dumplings in the bowl, and no matter how noisy the people at the table were, she was already quietly eating with the dishes and chopsticks, and Xiao Wan's was the same, which made Shen Zhuzi on the table a little embarrassed, and gave them a look, but they were ignored.

And Shi and Xiaoshan sat opposite Wan, the two of them were small, eating dumplings on the table, and their sense of presence was also very low.

Shen Shuang didn't know how to write the words 'submissive', and of course she was unwilling when others scolded her.

Shen Shuang raised a lukewarm smile, and even said in a sincere tone, "Milk, I want to ask you, did you buy the meat at home for the silver?" ”

Wan's: "I didn't buy it for the silver, it's hard to ......"

Wan's words came to an abrupt end when they touched Shen Shuang's sneering gaze, and she suddenly realized that it was impossible for Shen Shuang to get a copper plate from her hand, let alone silver.

Shen Shuang saw that she had nothing to say, and said slowly, "The money for buying meat is my own, and I can buy whatever I want." But since my grandmother thinks that eating meat dumplings is too luxurious, I can't eat them, so I can't force it. ”

Shen Shuang said, giving her father and stones and dumplings on the mountain, so she didn't bother to deal with Wan's.

Wan Shi wanted to make a fuss again, so he was glared at by Old Man Shen warningly, plus he saw Xiao Wan and Shen Cuini eating dumplings with their cheeks puffed out, for fear that the dumplings would not be able to eat in their mouths, where would Wan Shi still have time to make a fuss, thinking that the meat was not bought with her silver, and she ate it or she picked it up cheaply.

But there are so many dumplings today, and there are a lot of people at the table, especially Shen Cuini and Xiao Wanshi took advantage of their quarrel to eat better, and Wan Shi ate a few before and after, and the dumplings were disced, and even if they were gone, she couldn't say anything.

Shen Shuang looked at her shriveled appearance, and felt a little happy in her heart, but it was a pity that her father became more and more silent.

When the family was about to eat, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and it was Shen Shuisheng who came back to the village in the last ox cart.

Wan Shi Zhengqi didn't eat many dumplings, at first glance when he saw his youngest son, thinking that he would go home to see himself again, he suddenly forgot the unpleasantness just now, and he couldn't take care of eating, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Third child, why are you back? Did you have dinner? Xiaoshuang, why don't you go and get dishes and chopsticks for your third uncle? It's just stupid as a pig. ”

Shen Shuang, who was innocently lying on the gun, was just about to laugh angrily, she felt that there were so many unreasonable things and unreasonable people in this world, but she didn't care, she just sat and didn't move.

Seeing that the Wan clan was about to attack, Shen Musheng was about to get up in a hurry to get the dishes and chopsticks, and Shen Zhuzi held him down, "Uncle, I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks for the third uncle." ”

At this time, there were not many dishes on the table, Xiao Wan's was tired for a day, so he naturally ate a lot, Shen Cuini also ate a lot, and seeing that there was one more person to grab the food, the two mothers and daughters seemed to be sweeping, and hurriedly picked up the sweet potato porridge in the bowl and the few dishes left on the table.
