Chapter Thirty-Eight: Caught by an Old Man
After the three of them saw it with their own eyes, they sighed in their hearts that this girl was fat, but it was actually polite, and everyone didn't compare it, so they remembered the New Year pig raised in the village, but it was estimated that she was not as fat.
Shen Shuang didn't know that he was being compared to a pig again, otherwise he would be mad.
When Wan Shi saw that the eyes of the three people who came to see each other were about to pop out after seeing Shen Shuang, he was really a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that they would be scared away by Shen Shuang's size, but fortunately, in the end, he still invited people into the house smoothly, and none of them rushed out of the door.
The Shen family's house is also decent in Xishan Village, although it is also a little dilapidated, but at least it is not freezing on a snowy day, and the three of them were led into the house by the Wan family and the Sun family and sat down, and they all looked at the Shen family's conditions.
The first to be impatient to inquire about the situation was the sixty-year-old man, he didn't beat around the bush, hesitated for a moment and then went straight to the point and asked, "Old sister, why is your granddaughter so fat?" It can't be something wrong, right? ”
This old man is thin and thin, and he really has a fight with Wan's, but his hair has already turned gray, and he is still much younger than Wan's, so Wan's old sister almost vomited blood when he heard this, plus his problem, Wan's didn't have a good face for him.
Wan Shi first glared at Sun who was sneering on the side unceremoniously, and then said slowly, "This old brother doesn't know, my granddaughter is a blessed one, she has been held by mistake since she was a child, that is a young lady who grew up in the family of a five-grade official in the capital, but she is not a country girl." If you don't eat well, how can you be so white and fat? ”
Hearing Wan's words, the old man's eyes flashed, and then he reached out and touched his gray beard, and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "Is it really a five-grade official?" That's a blessing...... People are really fatter, but I don't dislike it. ”
Wan Shi rolled his eyes unceremoniously, and snorted coldly in his heart, he is not ashamed of his age, he doesn't dislike it? But she didn't plan to deal with him, her grandson-in-law, who was older than her, would be known by the villagers, and she would definitely be poked in the back in the future.
Wan Shi finally set her eyes on the middle-aged man, as for the unlucky seed who killed the two mothers-in-law, she didn't want to take a look, she already planned to wash the stool he sat on for a while, so as not to be contaminated!
There was boiling hot water left in the kitchen stove, so Shen Shuang put hot water in a few earthen bowls with a melon scoop, and then picked up two of them and went to the hall.
Just walked out of the kitchen door and saw Xiao Wan standing sneakily at the door of the hall eavesdropping.
Shen Shuang couldn't help frowning when she saw this, but she didn't step forward directly, but deliberately walked quietly to Xiao Wan's side, Xiao Wan's was listening intently, and she didn't notice that Shen Shuang walked to her side, both of them pricked up their ears to listen to the situation in the hall, Shen Shuang held her breath slightly, and heard what Wan said with a slightly arrogant tone.
"You've all been to my granddaughter, so you must have something in your heart. It's not that I'm boasting, my granddaughter is a blessed one, and I also told her fortune, saying that she will be rich and rich in the future. ”
Fortune telling for her? She's rich? Shen Shuang looked down at his figure, it was true that he was fat and fat.
It's just that her grandmother's words sound like she's selling her?
Wan didn't know where he got his confidence, so he raised his head and praised Shen Shuang, "She raised her in the house of a Wupin official for fifteen years before returning to the countryside, you look at these ten miles and eight towns, and you will definitely not be able to find a second girl who is whiter than my granddaughter." ”
Xiao Wanshi couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile when he heard this, and he didn't know that Shen Shuang was on the side, so he muttered disdainfully, "It's not, none of the pigs raised in ten miles and eight towns can compare to that fat pig." ”
Shen Shuang: "......?" ”
There was still only Wan Shi talking in the hall, but his tone had changed this time, "Alas, but because she was so good and fat that she was disliked, I thought about finding someone with average conditions to marry her." Of course, after all, she is still a yellow flower girl, and a decent dowry is a must, depending on whether you can afford it. ”
At this time, the Sun family couldn't help but help, and was about to say that the dead were alive, "Although the girl is fatter, but the fat is blessed and easy to give birth, maybe if you marry back, you can give birth to a big fat boy." ”
"Isn't the daughter-in-law of the fifth king of our village also a fat woman? When she first got married, she looked like a pig, but she gave birth to a few big fat boys within a few years of marrying Wang Laowu, and she is still thin, and now she is one of the slender mothers-in-law in the village. ”
The three of them looked at each other when they said this, but there were still some people who were moved, so Shen Shuang, who was arranged at this time, heard, "Old man Li, if you want to say that you are not young, you are still waiting to give birth to a kid in the wonton stall in the town to inherit, your old woman is a hen who can't lay eggs, if you marry our Xiaoshuang, you will definitely be able to grow old." ”
Shen Shuang suddenly wanted to break the earthen bowl in her hand, dare those three people come to see her?
If she remembers correctly, there is an old man who has lost all his teeth, older than her grandfather Shen, who wants to marry her?
If you want to say that she is not stimulated, it is fake, she was so angry that she trembled all over, and directly smashed the two earthen bowls in her hand on the ground, and with two clanging sounds, the earthen bowls fell to the ground, and the water splashed out.
Such a big movement directly frightened Xiao Wan, who was lying by the door and eavesdropping, so frightened that she almost jumped up, she turned around and saw Shen Shuang standing on the side with an expressionless face, as well as the bowl that was broken on the ground, and couldn't help but cover her heart and scold.
"You're going to die? Why don't you walk silently, you can't scare people to death? ”
"Huh? Why did you drop the bowl? ”
Just hearing that the highlights were disturbed, Xiao Wan's face was unhappy, and the people in the hall were about to bargain, especially the old man Li.
Hearing the quarrel, Wan Shi hurriedly walked out, and when he saw the second daughter-in-law and Shen Shuang standing at the door, as well as the clay bowl on the ground, which was broken into several pieces, he immediately felt that something bad was going to happen.
Wan Shi raised his eyes to look at Shen Shuang, but he just happened to look at himself expressionlessly at the face of the previous big pie, the latter swallowed his saliva and was inexplicably weak, but he still crossed his waist and pointed at people and scolded, "Are you dead?" Why did you drop the bowl? ”
Shen Shuang didn't speak, just looked at Wan Shi like this.
The three men sitting in the hall and the Sun family all came out to see what the situation was when they heard the movement, and when they saw Shen Shuang standing at the door, the eyes of the four people were all projected on her, especially the Sun family, who was busy welcoming people into the door just now and didn't take a closer look, but after a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp, thinking that it would be good for such a fat pig to have a man, how could anyone be willing to give more gifts.
Shen Shuang didn't seem to move, but at the same time, she looked at the three men in the room who came to look at her, the old man was really old, his hair and beard were gray, the wrinkles on his face could kill flies, and the thin and Wan Shi were quite right, and at this time they were still looking at her happily, and Shen Shuang was full of goosebumps.
There was a short, middle-aged man, about the same age as her father, who glanced at her and withdrew his gaze, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
As for the young man standing at the innermost, he was tall, dark and strong, but he didn't look like an honest man, and his eyes were still spinning, as if he was thinking about something.
Shen Shuang's face showed disgust, she took a deep breath, and quickly had an idea in her heart, dragging her body forward two steps before Wan Shi scolded her again, she grabbed Wan Shi's arm, with a little horror on her face, "Milk, you, are you going to sell me?" ”
Wan Shi didn't expect her to really hear what she had just said, so she immediately pulled her face down, shook off Shen Shuang's hand and glared at her viciously, "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and get out of the house for me." ”
Shen Shuang shook off her hand, simply knelt in front of Wan Shi without doing anything, and used her acting skills to pull her clothes, the tears came as soon as she said it, and she cried miserably.
"Milk, please don't sell me to others, I will pick beans to help you sweep the yard and feed the pigs in the future, and I promise not to drill the grass with that little hunter in the future, don't you sell me?"
"What? Drilling in the grass? ”
Shen Shuang's miserable crying appearance fell into the eyes of the three people standing on the side, and the three of them changed their faces in fear.
To say that except for the old man, although the conditions of the other two are not good, they still dislike Shen Shuang, the fat woman, such a fat lady marries home, the people in the village must laugh, and I hear that she is still drilling in the grass with people at this time! It's about cuckolding them.
After a little pondering, the two of them felt that this could not be done, and they were afraid of a bad reputation, so they found an excuse to get up and talk to Sun twice, and then slipped away without looking back.
Shen Shuang saw that she scared the two away, and there was still one left that made her feel the most, and she wanted to pick up a broom and drive people away, but she adopted a miserable policy, and she couldn't change her face too quickly.
Old man Li really didn't mind much, originally he came to buy a little wife to go back to give birth to a big fat boy and take over the work of his wife's wife to set up a stall by the way, although he had drilled through the grass with people, but the gift money might be lower.
Wan didn't expect to be so disturbed by Shen Shuang in the end, only such a dead old man was left, and he wanted to kill Shen Shuang, but because of this old man, he didn't move.
Although she disliked this bad old man very much, she didn't know if she could bring the old man's family in the town to see her daughter Chun Tao, so she didn't say anything, "I still have to discuss this matter with my old man, you go back first." ”
Shen Shuang saw that Wan led the old man to muttering and muttering and walked out, so she struggled to support herself from the ground, and then she was about to go out with her, she hated kneeling the most, but kneeling for a while can scare away two men who want to marry her, and the effect is not bad.
Although most of the people in the village were busy in the fields at this time, there were also many women picking wild vegetables nearby, so she must seize the opportunity.
