Chapter 44: Separate fires
As soon as the old woman heard the old man's tone, she knew that there was a play. "Of course I know, and I didn't sell all the food. I want the second family to start a fire separately, and give the second child a monthly ration, and the saved food can be sold for a lot of silver. Besides, it should be a lesson to the second room, so that they know that this family is still in charge, and they can't eat and can't find us to be soft, to see if they dare to fight against us again. ”
Old man Shen didn't immediately object when he heard this, his attitude towards the second room is not better than that of the old lady now, and he has long thought about how to teach them a lesson, but he has never thought about it. The old woman's method made him like it very much. In the old man Shen's heart, the eldest is responsible for the elderly, the third is responsible for the glorious lintel, and the second is the one who has the strength to work, and it is obvious which is more important in his heart.
Seeing the old man's face change, Mrs. Jia thought that he didn't agree, and thought that she would persuade her slowly in the future, and sooner or later she would agree.
"Just watch it!" Old man Shen weighed it in his heart, and finally listened to the old woman's opinion.
Mrs. Jia didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she was happy, and began to think about how much food she could save and how much silver she could sell.
At this time, the Wang family was also lying on the kang and couldn't sleep, thinking about how to persuade Mrs. Jia tomorrow, and there was still a tael of silver in hand!
At the breakfast table the next day, Mrs. Jia was in a good mood, and Shen Zhi and Shen Hui both had an extra egg in their bowls.
"Eat more, the third child, and our Shen family will rely on you to turn over." Mrs. Jia rarely spoke pleasantly at the dinner table, and did not scold her daughters-in-law first.
"Xiaohui, after eating, you call the second couple to the main house."
"What do you tell them to do, bad luck!" Shen Hui's voice was not small, and her tone was not good.
Mrs. Jia didn't mean to blame at all, and comforted her.
After Xiao Xia finished breakfast, she saw her sister-in-law call her father and mother to the upper room, and she knew what was going on, but she didn't expect Wang's work efficiency to be so good, she thought it would take a few days!
Xiao Xia naturally followed, and those two buns must be angry, how can she rest assured.
The Shen family was not happy when they saw that Xiao Xia was also coming, and the air pressure in the house immediately went down, but no one said a word.
"I have discussed with your father, in the future, you will cook by yourself in the second room, anyway, you don't want to come to the room to eat, and you don't think the food is good and full. In the future, you can do it yourself, and no one cares how many meals you want to eat a day, and no one will stop you from eating any delicacies from the mountains and seas. ”
Old Lady Jia's words made Shen Zhong and the Wang family confused, do you want to separate them?
"Don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat, but you will only fire alone in the future." Old man Shen explained that the second child is his biological son, but he is not taken seriously, and he can't give up at this time.
"This is your food this month, don't say I'm mean to you, in the future, you can come to get the food yourself on the first day of the first month, you don't have to come as a whole family." Old Mrs. Jia glanced at Xiao Xia as she spoke, obviously saying that the person she didn't want to see the last thing she wanted was Shen Xiao Xia.
"The pot outside is for you. Xiao Wang, after you finish cooking the meal in the upper room, you will cook your second room. ”
Xiao Xia rolled her eyes when she heard this, and she was so stingy that she couldn't do a lot of things, Shen Zhong and Xiao Wang lowered their heads and didn't speak, she didn't come to see the excitement.
"Grandma, the little food you give you is enough to eat for half a month a day! If you eat three meals a day, you probably won't be able to eat for a few days. There is also the pot outside that is inserted into pig food, you let us use a pot with the pig, it's a bit too much. ”
As soon as Xiao Xia opened his mouth, no one from the Shen family spoke, even if they still remembered the incident of the previous day, the monsters that couldn't be burned by the fire, they didn't want to mess with it at this time. But if you want them to change their attitude towards the second room, don't think about it.
Xiao Xia didn't think about fighting for food or anything, since she had already eaten separately, how could she let her mother still serve the family's food.
"Since grandma let us start a fire alone in the future, the lady who went to the room will not have time to do it."
"How can that be done, who will cook the food in the upper room? Xiao Wang, you think the same way, do you still want to eat the Shen family's food? Old Lady Jia ignored Xiao Xia and attacked Xiao Wang's directly.
"Even the little food given by my grandmother doesn't have my mother and us!"
"Xiao Wang, are you talking? Are you going to cook this meal in the upper room? ”
"If grandma doesn't agree, let's not eat separately, and in the future, we will go back to the main house to eat in the second room, and our sisters will eat whatever you eat, why bother my mother to do it twice." Xiao Xia said as he gave Wang a look, if the matter is not successful, your one or two silver will be gone.
When Wang received the look, she immediately understood, thinking that if Xiao Wang didn't have to cook the meal in the upper room, it wouldn't be her turn, she didn't want to do it, but the temptation of one or two silver was too great, and she would talk about it later when she got the silver.
"Mother, if the second brother and sister don't want to do it, it will be up to me and the third brother and sister to take turns to do it, since we don't eat together, it's a bit unreasonable to let the second brother and sister cook." As soon as Wang opened his mouth, the whole family looked at her like fools, and the sun was rising in the west? The laziest mother-in-law in the family actually took the initiative to take care of herself today. Mrs. Jia didn't think much about it, this matter was the first to be provoked by the Wang family, thinking that the Wang family was just to sell grain so that she could give her a man money.
The Zhao family is not heartless, there is a cat here! She seemed to see that after Shen Xiaoxia glanced at the Wang family before, the Wang family began to help the second room speak.
She doesn't care which daughter-in-law cooks the food in the upper room, anyway, as a mother-in-law, she doesn't have to stretch out her hand. "In this case, you have to be careful to serve the work in the vegetable garden and those two pigs, otherwise what is the use of the old Shen family raising you, you won't even be able to give birth to a son."
"Got it." Xiao Wang nodded gratefully, Xiao Xia was very speechless, let you work and be so grateful to Dade, how was her mother educated?
The family of three returned to the west wing room with half a bag of coarse grain noodles, and they were going to start a fire by themselves in the future, Xiao Xia was very happy, but Shen Zhong and his family were simply sad and white-headed, and they wanted to eat that bit of food for a month, unless they drank porridge every day, they could only drink one meal.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Xiaochun hugged Xiaoqiu, and the two sisters looked at their father and mother worriedly.
"After that, we will cook separately." Xiao Xia winked at Xiao Chun, ran back to his house, turned around and came out again with a small package in his hand.
Looking at the depressed father and mother, they opened the cloth bag in front of them, which contained a brocade box and three strings of copper coins and two taels of broken silver, and opened the brocade box and lay a ginseng inside.
Shen Zhong's eyes didn't roll, and he didn't react for a long time.
