Chapter 142: Send Her Home
Wang glared at Mrs. Cao with her eyes, and said angrily, "What else can you do, you can't get in the car, you can only walk on your legs, is it possible that you can still fly?" ”
Cao Pozi was stunned, "Dahe's shop is not far from here, you ......"
Wang didn't listen to Mrs. Cao's words at all, and continued to walk forward with her things on her back, there were several catties of bacon in the bag, a slaughtered hen, and some other food, but she snatched it from her daughter-in-law.
For the sake of these good things, the Wang family and her daughter-in-law quarreled so much that her face was torn up, so it was naturally impossible for her to go back to see her face, let alone take back these things that she had snatched with great difficulty.
Since the relationship between the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law deteriorated, the Wang family no longer gave her a good look, and the daughter-in-law was also very perfunctory to her, relying on the mediation of her son and grandson in the middle, but the Wang family knew that she was an old woman, and she could only think more about herself, and her son and grandson were unreliable, and her behavior became more and more excessive.
Cao Pozi can't help it, she doesn't have any relatives in the town, she originally wanted to stay for a night, maybe she can still eat, but now the Wang family plans to walk on her legs, she can only keep up, otherwise in the wilderness, she doesn't dare to go alone after nightfall.
It's just that she bought a big bag of grain in her bag, and just now the people in the village kindly said that they would help her bring it back, but Cao Pozi felt that people wanted to be greedy for her food so kindly to help, so she didn't agree at all.
Carrying such a big bag of grain at this time, she was old, her legs and feet were not good, she was already tired and panting after walking for a while, her kneecaps were so painful that she couldn't do it, and she was left behind by the Wang family far away, and she simply regretted that her intestines were blue.
The Wang family was full of anger, and while walking, he was still chatting and scolding with Cao Pozi, and after walking a long way, he found that Cao Pozi was gone, so he could only wait for her.
On the other side, Shen Shuang, who was sitting on the ox cart, was a little drowsy, because the ox cart was really slow, and the sound of the wheel turning was dull, and she was a little uncomfortable to listen to, but now she found the advantage of the carriage, not only spacious, but fast, and not as panicked as this ox cart.
After the ox cart left the city gate, everyone was bored in the car, so they chatted, the two concubines of the Zhao family and the Zheng family were actually very curious about Shen Shuang, and the two of them had not seen her liveliness, and when they saw the bones in the basket of the little hunter, they thought that she used to be an official lady who would not buy vegetables, so she bought these bones with no meat.
Shen Shuang was dozing off, and Zheng suddenly started talking to her, "Xiaoshuang, don't care about what the princess said just now, we also know about her, it is estimated that she has a grudge against your grandmother, so she also holds a grudge against you, if she gossips about you in the village tomorrow, the villagers in our car will help you talk, and keep her ashamed." ”
Zhao also agreed, "It's not, Mrs. Wang has always been domineering, she has nothing to do all day long and gossip, what she is doing today, folks, let's all see it in our eyes, right." ”
"Yes, yes, that Mrs. Wang is really not a thing, and she slanders the girl's family for the sake of two seats."
"Selfish, Mu Sheng's daughter is still her granddaughter, she doesn't think about her family's good, but pours dirty water on others."
Everyone chatted with each other, and the little Orion listened on the side, feeling quite surprised, but he found that his sense of existence was quite low, and everyone didn't notice him, so it proved that he didn't implicate Shen Shuang, and he felt better.
In fact, the little hunter really thought too much, and a few people in the car still paid attention to the little hunter, but they didn't dare to look at him, so they could only secretly look and discuss.
Especially Zhao, who was sitting behind him, was curious about what was so full in the back basket, she knew that this little hunter was a good hunter, and maybe he was taking his prey to the town to exchange food.
Such a handsome and capable man, the whole Xishan Village can not find a second, which one of the heads of the family will be a pity that the little hunter is a mute, or a single household, or an outsider, people don't know whether it is reliable, of course, the most important thing is to be afraid of being unlucky with him.
Even if this is a matter of the past, everyone is talking about it, and this concept is buried in their hearts, and they are afraid that they will react.
Shen Shuang didn't expect the Zheng family and the Zhao family to be so easy-going, they seemed to be unforgiving, but they were sensible.
Shen Shuang chatted with everyone, they were all talking about what they had bought in the town today, and Shen Shuang found that their backpacks really contained a lot of things, which were obviously purchased from the town.
Zhao suddenly looked at the small back basket behind the little hunter, "You bought pig bones, right?" And that's fat? Those things are not delicious, especially the pork bones, there is no meat at all, don't buy these next time, you have to choose some fat and thin, more oil is also delicious and not greasy, these fat oil can't be eaten. ”
Shen Shuang smiled, just nodded, didn't want to explain too much, after all, others might not be able to understand the explanation, and she was a little tired when she spoke.
When it was just getting dark, Shen Shuang and Xiao Orion finally took an ox cart to the entrance of Xishan Village, and Wang and Cao Pozi only walked halfway, the two of them were so tired that they couldn't breathe, it was dark everywhere, the two of them were hungry and tired and had to carry things, they couldn't see the road clearly, Wang regretted not staying in the town, but it was too late to say anything at this time.
After arriving at the entrance of the village, everyone got out of the car with their own things, and Xiao Orion waited for everyone to leave, and escorted Shen Shuang and Xiaoshan home with their two siblings.
It was already very late at this time, if Shen Shuang hadn't specially bought a lot of steamed buns, it was estimated that the three of them would be so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
The moon on tonight wears a hat, and it is not very clear when walking at night, Shen Shuang led the hill and walked steadily, followed by the little hunter, the three of them did not speak, and when they were about to get home, they saw a person standing under the tree in front of the yard from a distance.
Shen Shuang and Xiaoshan didn't come back so late, Shen Musheng and Xu didn't even think about having dinner, originally thinking that they didn't come back so late because they were delayed, but seeing that it was dark and there was no trace, the two couples were even more anxious, after all, Shen Tusheng had come back early.
Wan Shi is in a good mood today, and after eating dinner early, he went to talk to the woman he had friends with in the village, and the old man Shen was the same, of course they would not care about Shen Shuang's life or death.
Hearing the footsteps, Shen Musheng hurriedly greeted her, and Shen Shuang also recognized her father, "Dad, why did you come out?" ”
"Xiaoshuang, Xiaoshan, why did you come back so late? It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Huh, Ah? ”
Shen Musheng was very surprised to find that the little hunter was following behind his children, and Shen Shuang hurriedly explained in order to avoid her father's misunderstanding, "Dad, we met in the town, and we came back in an ox cart together, and the little hunter saw that it was late before sending us back." ”
Shen Musheng naturally didn't misunderstand, he was just curious, and he was very grateful to the little Orion when he heard this, "Ah Shu, thank you for sending their two sisters and brothers back, it's not early, come in and eat something, Xiao Shanniang is still hot to eat." ”
The little hunter naturally wouldn't go in to eat, he shook his head, then put down the back basket, took out Shen Shuang's things from inside, and then handed it to her, turned around and left, Shen Musheng couldn't stop screaming.
Shen Cuini just walked out of the yard, heard someone talking outside the yard, and hurriedly ran out to listen to the corner, but she didn't want to see the little Orion send Shen Shuang back, she hurriedly ran into the house to gossip with her mother Xiao Wan, of course, to avoid her father, she found that her father has been protecting Shen Shuang recently, and didn't let her say bad things about her, she was very angry in her heart.
"Mother, I just saw the fat pig and came back."
Xiao Wanshi was sitting on the kang mending clothes for the stones by the light of the oil lamp, and he didn't raise his head when he heard this, "Go back, what's your business, don't mess with her." ”
Xiao Wan's stomach was angry tonight, Wan and Old Man Shen came home, she learned that the three big baskets of peach gum were sold for less than a hundred taels of silver, she was so angry that she was half dead, she felt that she had lost a lot of silver in vain, and regretted that she shouldn't have worked so hard in the first place.
What's even more annoying is that she found that at the dinner table, the two elders didn't mention the matter of dividing the silver at all, she instigated Xu's to ask about it, but found that Xu's wood didn't plan to ask, nor did she think about sharing the silver, and said something 'Daddy and mother want to divide it, we can take it, and if you don't divide it, let your mother take it and buy food'.
Because of such a sentence, Xiao Wan's heart ached so much that he couldn't eat.
Hearing that Shen Shuang was back, Xiao Wanshi naturally ignored it, she wanted to scold Shen Shuang, but she didn't have that guts, maybe it would be boring for herself when the time came.
Shen Trini hurriedly said, "No, mother, I just saw that the little hunter sent the fat pig and the little mute back, and I also saw the little hunter take out a lot of things from the back basket and hand them to the fat pig." When the milk comes back, I will definitely talk to the milk. ”
Shen Cuini's face was full of anger, and she felt that she had grabbed Shen Shuang's handle.
When Xiao Wanshi heard this, her hand was crooked, and the embroidery needle pierced into the flesh, she exclaimed in pain, and quickly sucked her fingers into her mouth, and asked anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" Did you really see that Shen Shuang came back with Little Orion? ”
Shen Cuini nodded seriously, "Yes, just now, you listened, the voice of the eldest uncle and the eldest uncle." ”
The sound of Shen Musheng and Xu welcoming the two sisters and brothers into the kitchen for dinner did sound in the courtyard outside, and Xiao Wanshi hurriedly dropped his stone clothes and ran to listen to the corner.
Over there, Shen Tusheng and Shi had already been lying on the kang in the house and were asleep, but they hadn't heard such a thing.
In the kitchen, Shen Shuang handed the purchased pig bones and pig water to Xu, "Mother, you help me chop this bone into pieces with a big knife, and this fat oil, also help me cut it." ”
Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter and son come back, and was about to pick up the things she had put in the wooden basin, but he was very surprised, "Xiaoshuang, why did you buy so many of these pig bones?" These things are useless, and the village butchers usually sell these bones to the big families in the town to feed the dogs. Is this a pig in the water? How do you buy this? If your grandmother sees it, she'll scold you. ”
Xu Shi knew that her in-laws hated these stinky pigs in the water the most, and every time she slaughtered the pigs during the New Year, she was responsible for taking these pigs into the water, so she didn't like them either.
