Chapter Ninety-Eight: Our Shen family is really poor
Shen Shuang's thoughts drifted away, feeling that it was already a matter of the previous life, but when she thought about it, she still felt a little emotional and nostalgic, even if she couldn't eat what she liked to eat at that time, she could only enjoy it every time.
It's different now, although she also needs to control her weight, but she eats what she should eat, she doesn't want to treat herself badly, how can people be so lucky to live two lifetimes, Shen Shuang can't think of a reason why she wants to treat herself badly.
In fact, life in Xishan Village is quite good, and occasionally boring is an adjustment to her fulfilling rural life.
"Sister Shen? What are you thinking? Sister Shen? ”
Shen Shuang smiled back to his senses, "It's nothing, think about the past." ”
Jiang Zitong nodded, then stared at her face, "Sister Shen, it seems that you have lost weight these days, right?" I don't think your face is as round as it used to be, but it's still very white. ”
Hearing Jiang Zitong's words, Shen Shuang's heart was ecstatic, but there was no emotion on his face.
There is nothing more joyful than hearing from others that she has lost weight, at least this is the case with Shen Shuang now, she used to go on a desperate diet to look good on the camera, but now she is for a good life, and she dares to look in the mirror, and although she often runs out, she still often does physical sunscreen measures, and she can't be tanned when she loses weight.
Shen Shuang subconsciously reached out and touched his face, "You found out?" ”
Jiang Zitong nodded, and looked at Shen Shuang very seriously, "Yes, Sister Shen, I think you must be a great beauty when you lose weight." ”
Shen Shuang didn't respond, and you have to wait to lose weight to know if you are beautiful or not.
The two of them had already slipped to the vegetable garden at this time, Shen Shuang saw that there were already a lot of vegetables, and turned his head to look at Jiang Zitong, "I'm going to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables, do you want to go back and rest for a while?" ”
Jiang Zitong came by carriage since the morning, she was really tired at this time, and she wouldn't help with watering, so she didn't make a mess for Shen Shuang, turned around and walked back to rest for a while.
Before entering the courtyard, Xiao Wanshi found that she was not with Shen Shuang, so he hurriedly went into the hall to find Wan, "Mother, Miss Jiang is staying alone in the house at this moment, let's go to her and ask for silver." ”
Wan Shi just sat down, and was a little hesitant when he heard this, "Your father asked me not to ask, what if I offend that eldest lady?" ”
Wan still has some brains and knows that there are some things that can't be done.
She has lived for most of her life, and she really hasn't eaten meat and eaten in a regular manner like tonight, and she also understands that it is all thanks to Jiang Zitong, the eldest lady, if she goes to someone to ask for silver again, it will drag down the future of her third son at that time, it is not a joke.
Xiao Wan's didn't expect Shen Laosan's future, she only thought about silver and the three pieces of cloth, so she naturally spared no effort to encourage Wan's to ask for silver, "Mother, you have to think about it, our family can't earn ten taels of silver from farming all year round, then Miss Jiang has silver, she can give the Han family's mother-in-law, why can't she give us a little?" ”
Wan Shi was a little moved when he heard this, "That's right, but what if Xiaoshuang knows about this?" She's going to have to make a fuss, and your dad will be upset when the time comes. ”
Xiao Wan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Mother, that's just a little silver, then Miss Jiang will definitely not tell Xiaoshuang, otherwise you just let Miss Jiang stop saying no?" ”
Wan Shi thought that there were ten taels of silver, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation, and stood up with a pat on his thigh, "Nacheng, let's go and ask her to ask for it, at this time, the old family is feeding the pigs in the backyard, you guard the courtyard door, and you will remind me when someone comes." ”
Xiao Wanshi was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and went to the door to help 'keep an eye'.
After Jiang Zitong entered the house, he sat on the kang and played with the little wolf cub nesting on the kang, and after Shi and Xiaoshan finished eating, they ran outside to play, at this time she was alone in the house, and suddenly saw Wan Shi come in, she hurriedly hugged the little wolf cub and got up, "Aunt Shen, is there something wrong?" ”
As soon as Wan Shi entered the house, her eyes were staring at the quilt on the kang, such a beautiful quilt, she delivered so many families, none of them could compare, hearing her words, her eyes turned to the little wolf cub she was holding in her hand, and she couldn't help but stare at her eyes curiously, "Miss Jiang, are you a dog?" You're still playing with your dog, huh? ”
Jiang Zitong felt that she could complete the task that Sister Shen gave her at this time, so she raised a smile and raised the little wolf cub in her arms, "Auntie, its name is Baibai, this is my gift to Sister Shen, is it cute?" ”
When Wan Shi heard that this was going to be given to Shen Shuang, he couldn't help frowning and widening his eyes, "What? Miss Jiang, why did you give her this? This dog is going to eat, right? We don't have food for dogs. ”
Jiang Zitong: "......"
She really didn't know what this little wolf cub was eating, so she could only improvise and pull out a smile, "Don't worry, auntie, it will find something to eat by itself." ”
Wan glanced at the little wolf cub with some disgust, and didn't bother to bother with it, so he directly hurried to tell her about the silver, and his tone was flattering, "Miss Jiang, that's the case, I heard that you are going to live here tonight, right?" ”
Jiang Zitong nodded inexplicably, she had already said this during the meal, why did she mention it again?
Wan Shi pouted when he saw her stupid appearance, so he could only continue, "Miss Jiang, I also heard that you gave a mother-in-law in our village a broken silver?" ”
Jiang Zitong nodded again, "Yes, that aunt helped me find Sister Shen, and I asked Uncle Mo to give it to her." ”
Uncle Mo? Could it be the coachman?
Wan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly realized that this delicate girl may not have any silver on her, and she didn't see her take the initiative to give the silver when she said this, Wan's was also in a hurry, she stood in place and was anxious to think about whether to say it directly, but unfortunately Jiang Zitong was just a little girl, but she was not a human spirit, and she didn't know her mind at all.
Seeing that the two of them were at a stalemate and no one spoke, Wan Shi was afraid that Shen Shuang would come back and mess up her good deeds in a while, so he could only lick his face and say, "Alas, Miss Jiang, you have also seen the situation of our Shen family, it is really poor!" I'm not afraid of your jokes, my wife is living so old, and it's the first time I've eaten such a hearty meal of chicken and pork thanks to you. ”
Wan Shi said, and stretched out his hand to wipe away his non-existent tears, and only after the miserable sale did he continue to look at her and speak, "You are staying at our house tonight, my wife shouldn't have asked you for accommodation fees, but you see, our family is not in a good situation, and you have to pay for a guest house in the town, right?" ”
"Since you can give the Han family's mother-in-law a piece of broken silver, you don't need to give us money when you come to our house to eat and drink, right? I know that Miss Jiang and Xiaoshuang are friends, but our village is a brother and we have to settle accounts, our rice jar has no rice, and it is not good to serve Miss Jiang without silver, so you see, can you give some silver as accommodation fees? ”
Jiang Zitong was stunned when she heard this, but after listening to Wan's words, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she lowered her head and hurriedly took out two ingots of silver from the purse she was carrying and put them in Wan's hand, "Auntie, I only have these two ingots of silver in my purse, but Uncle Mo may have a silver ticket on him." You don't see enough, not enough, I'll ask him for it. ”
Wan Shi held the two ingots of silver with trembling hands, feeling like she was in a dream, after all, she had just moved her mouth to get so much silver, which she had never dared to think of before.
Hearing that she was going to ask someone to get a silver ticket, where did Wan dare to ask for it, he quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, enough is enough, this is enough, no silver ticket, the old woman thank you for the silver." ”
Jiang Zitong was a little embarrassed, "You're welcome, it was Zitong's negligence, I should pay for the accommodation." ”
Wan Shi was a lot more comfortable when she heard this, but thinking of Shen Shuang's temperament, if she knew that she would definitely have to mess with her if she asked someone for money, she rolled her eyes, and then said bitterly, "Miss Jiang, I still want to ask you for one more thing." ”
"Auntie, just say it."
"This silver matter, can Miss Jiang not mention it to our Xiaoshuang? She must be angry to know. ”
Jiang Zitong thought of Shen Shuang's temperament, so he nodded, "Auntie, I understand, I won't mention it to Sister Shen." ”
"That's good, that's good, then Miss Jiang, you rest first, I'll go out first."
Wan went out happily and sneakily called Xiao Wan to hide in the house.
Xu Shi happened to come back with a wooden barrel containing pig food, and when he saw the two of them entering the house, and Wan Shi still walked out of her house, he also raised his feet and quietly walked over to see the situation.
In the room, Wan Shi took out the two ingots of silver from his pocket and put them on the table to look at Xiao Wan on the other side, and said very proudly, "Second family, look at what this is?" Twenty taels! Twenty taels of silver are in hand! ”
"Mother, you really got the silver from Miss Jiang, you are really amazing!"
Xiao Wan's eyes lit up, he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
And Xu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he quickly turned around and left to find his daughter.
Inside the house, Wan Shi was still complacent, but he was a little disgusted with Jiang Zitong in his words, "If I knew that it was so smooth, I should have asked her more, that little girl looks very beautiful and clever, but it is estimated that her brain is not very good, as soon as she asked her, she didn't say anything, and immediately took out two ingots of silver from her purse." ”
Xiao Wan picked up the silver and looked at it, touched it and touched it, and then reluctantly put it down.
She rolled her eyes, lowered her voice and spoke, "Mother, what are you going to do with this silver?" I can't let my dad know about this. ”
Wan Shi carried the silver in his arms, "Of course you can't let him know." ”
Xiao Wan asked again, "Mother, since you got twenty taels of silver from Miss Jiang, can you not sell those three pieces of cloth for money?" ”
Wan squinted at her and covered the silver solidly, "What do you want?" ”
Xiao Wan sat down and said with a flattering face, "Mother, the pillar is now fifteen, he will have to marry his daughter-in-law in two years, and our family doesn't have any decent dowry to give to other women, I think that red cloth can just make new clothes for your granddaughter-in-law, and our old Shen family is also decent." ”
Wan still feels sorry for the pillar's capable and obedient grandson, but she still feels that her grandson is not as good as her son, so she didn't give permission to say, "I'll talk about this later." ”
Xiao Wanshi pursed his lips, knowing that this matter was not easy to convince her, so he also continued, "Mother, you have always hoped that Trini could marry a good family, but now Trini is a big girl's family, and she doesn't have a decent dress, who can look down on her?" You also know that I don't have much money with Tusheng, and the money he earns in the town is handed over to you every time, and he doesn't have any money to buy cloth to make clothes, do you think you can give some silver to pull some cloth to make clothes? ”
Wan squinted at her and sneered, "Are you worried about my twenty taels of silver?" The second family, I can tell you, the twenty taels of silver are for the third child, don't even think about it, as for how to divide the cloth, I will discuss it with your father at that time. ”
Saying that, she got up and hid the silver, she usually hid copper coins, and now there are more heavy twenty taels of silver, but I can't wait to hide it so tightly that no one can find it, and Xiao Wanshi found that he was a bamboo basket to draw water and didn't catch anything, so he was so angry that he could only go back to the house angrily.
