Chapter 4: Shen Xiu

Listening to what Wang Zhaodi did to his daughter-in-law during his absence, Shen Chi's heart was chilling for a while, his eyes were full of anger because of anger, and he was even more afraid when he heard Yuan Lin's summary.

That's when he really realized how wrong he was this time. How much damage did his negligence bring to Wanwan.

Originally, Wanwan's feelings of indifference to himself after waking up have been alleviated, which will make him feel that he has done this bastard thing, and his daughter-in-law is just cold to himself, instead of giving himself an ear scraper.

Seeing that Shen Chi listened to his words, Yuan Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really worried that this brother would die and refuse to give in, and then hurt the relationship between husband and wife.

Although Lin Xiaoliang is not from their Yuanjiazhuang, and he doesn't know her, there are many rumors about her.

This girl is good-looking, smart and smart, and her personality is not mean, although I heard that she has never been on the ground, but a few years after her aunt passed away, she will also manage the family at a young age, and her father's clothes are also clean and neat, there is no country man without the sloppiness of his mother-in-law, it can be seen that this girl is a hard-working and capable person.

Although his brother is good, the girl is not bad, what the ruler did at the beginning was not kind, if he doesn't know how to be a little low, this little couple is afraid that it will come to an end.

Before leaving, Yuan Lin still instructed uneasily: "I know that you have always been tough, but as a person who has come over, I have to give you a word, you can be tough with anyone, but you just can't be hard with your daughter-in-law." ”

There were two knocks on the door, and Lin Xiaoliang pulled his mind out of his thoughts and looked at the door.

A small head crept in, and his gaze swept timidly across the ward.

"Sister-in-law." Seeing Lin Xiaoliang, Shen Xiu's eyes lit up, closed the door and ran quickly to the bedside, took off her schoolbag with difficulty, and took out a large bag of fruit from it.

"Why are you sweating hot?" Lin Xiaoliang can speak harshly to any Shen family, but Shen Xiu is definitely an exception.

At the beginning, if it weren't for Shen Xiu to take care of him, he would have died of a high fever under the ignorance of the rest of the Shen family.

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes turned red, and she said worriedly: "I heard from the classmates in the village who don't live in the school, so I asked for leave and rushed over." ”

Needless to say, Lin Xiaoliang also knew that she must have run all the way.

"So what's going on with these fruits, where did you get the money to buy these?" Lin Xiaoqian frowned slightly, as far as she knew, her mother-in-law couldn't say anything good to this sister-in-law, she usually ate and drank closely with her son, and her sister-in-law didn't have a share at all, so how could she give her spare money.

What's more, the fruit of this will not be the next generation, who will buy two catties every day, and it is a luxury to want to eat an apple during the New Year's Festival, and the price is expensive and difficult to buy.

"I picked up the junk on vacation and exchanged it for nine cents." Shen Xiu was smug and shy.

At this time, nine cents is not a small amount, and the salary of ordinary workers is more than twenty yuan, so it is no wonder that introverts such as Shen Xiu showed such a smug expression.

Looking at her red little face, and then at the amount of the bag of fruit, Lin Xiaoliang said with mixed feelings: "Where did you buy this?" Needless to say, she also knew that Xiu'er must have spent all the money.

"I originally wanted to buy it on the street, but there were only two fruit stalls on the street, and it was not fresh, and then I met my classmate, and she said that her family planted it, so I went to her house to buy it." Shen Xiu took out a pear from the bag and said with a smile: "Although this fruit is not big, it is all freshly picked and fresh, sister-in-law, I will peel it for you." ”

Seeing Lin Xiaoliang looking at the fruit bag next to the bed, Shen Xiu said softly: "My fellow scholar only grows pears, and there is nothing else at the fruit stall on the street, but I also bought some raw chestnuts that she kept at home, and copied them for you to eat." ”

Looking at this fifteen-year-old girl, Lin Xiaoliang didn't know what to say for a while. Even after a lifetime, she can't forget how this little girl secretly hid her food and fed it to her, but she was so hungry that she swallowed her saliva.

"Xiu'er, have you eaten?"

Lin Xiaoliang asked casually, but Shen Xiu hesitated and shook his head and said, "No, my classmates are far away, and it takes more than an hour to walk, and I am embarrassed to eat at other people's homes." ”

She was also really hungry, and her stomach was tight.

Lin Xiaoliang was a little distressed when she heard this, "Why didn't you come over after eating?" After saying that, she realized that she had asked a stupid question, and this kid must have no money.

"You eat a pear first, and your brother will bring it over later, and you can eat it with me then."

"Then I'll only eat one, and leave the rest for my sister-in-law." Shen Xiu thought about it and didn't refuse, and after a while, she hesitated a little and said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame your brother." ”

Lin Xiaoliang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were silent.

Shen Xiu was a little anxious when he saw this, and was about to say something, but Shen Chi happened to walk in with a pot.

"Xiu'er, why are you here?" Shen Chi looked surprised.

"I'm coming to see my sister-in-law." Shen Xiu replied in a low voice.

Shen Chi quickly glanced at Lin Xiaoliang, and found that his daughter-in-law's gaze was very soft when she looked at Xiu'er, Yuan Lin's words couldn't help flashing in his mind, and his heart suddenly felt a little unspeakably complicated.

Shen Xiu stood up and helped Shen Chi take out the chicken soup in the pot, turned his head and said, "It's a little hot, does my sister-in-law want me to feed you?" ”

"No, you don't." Lin Xiaoqian shook his head and said, "You can just pad me with a cloth." ”

Shen Xiu nodded, skillfully skimming the yellow-orange oil from the chicken broth.

"How did you skim the oil?" Shen Chi frowned.

People in this era are very interested in oil and water, and they have to pick up fat meat when they buy meat, so they naturally can't see Shen Xiu's behavior.

"My sister-in-law has a light taste and doesn't like greasy." Shen Xiu explained softly, and put another chicken thigh into the bowl.

"Enough, I can't eat more." Seeing that Xiu'er was planning to clamp another chicken leg, Lin Xiaoliang immediately stopped him.

Shen Xiu didn't force it, carefully put a piece of cloth at the bottom of the bowl and handed it to Lin Xiaoliang, and drank a bowl of chicken soup by himself.

"Don't just drink soup, just a few more pieces of meat." Lin Xiaoliang said.

"No, I'll just drink a bowl of soup, and leave the chicken for my sister-in-law to eat." Shen Xiu shook his head again and again.

"I can't eat so much."

"Then save it for tomorrow." Shen Xiu looked stubborn.

"Let you eat it, this chicken won't taste fresh after a long time." Lin Xiaoliang said with a face that could not be refused.

Shen Xiu was a little hesitant for a moment, she knew that her sister-in-law liked to eat fresh, but this chicken was not available every day.

"Your sister-in-law will let you eat." At this time, Shen Chi on the side spoke.

Shen Xiu finally put a few more pieces of chicken into his bowl and lowered his head to eat.

Maybe it was because he had too many things in his heart, but Lin Xiaoliang didn't feel hungry, and he didn't fill the bowl anymore after eating.

Shen Chi had the intention to persuade her to eat more, but when she met those eyes that were too plain, she said everything.

He would rather beat him and scold him for messing with him, and he didn't want her to be like she is now.

After eating, Lin Xiaoliang fell asleep, Shen Chi and Shen Xiu went out of the ward together, both of them were silent, I don't know how long it took, Shen Xiu said, "Brother, don't let your sister-in-law go back." ”

"I know." Shen Chi smiled bitterly, and actually made his sister worry about him.

Shen Xiu bit her lip and said, "I'm not going back, we're not going back." ”

Shen Chi was taken aback, "What nonsense are you talking about, what do you want your father to think?" He's always loved you the most......"

"What's the most painful? Hidden, did he protect me once when Wang Zhaodi bullied me? Because of Wang Zhaodi's partiality, Shen Zhu's son from outside the road has become the treasure of the family! Shen Xiaobao's grandson who came to the road almost caused his sister-in-law to have a miscarriage, they were like no one, they didn't even apologize, brother, can you bear it, I can't bear it! Shen Xiu's face turned red, but tears flowed all over her face.

Shen Chi sighed, Xiu'er has always had a good temperament, but she is timid, no matter how much she didn't like Wang Zhaodi in her heart in the past, she was also called a lady before and after, but now she even calls each other by name and surname, which shows that she is angry.

How can he be willing to endure it, but Xiu'er doesn't know a lot of things, he can not bear it, but Xiu'er ......

"How are you getting along with your sister-in-law?" Shen Chi changed the subject.

Shen Xiu glared at him, but still replied: "Of course, my sister-in-law is good, she is not at all like others say that she looks down on people, and she speaks softly and softly." ”

She pursed her lips and said sadly: "I knew that this kind of thing would happen, and I wouldn't have gone back when Wang Zhaodi used ugly words to drive me back to school." ”

It seems that the long-standing resentment has erupted, and Shen Xiu will be bolder, and she is no longer willing to call the woman A-Niang.

"I'll take you back to school." Shen Chi sighed.

"Don't." Shen Xiu looked at Shen Chi and said, "Brother, let's make it clear first, how do you plan to settle your sister-in-law?" ”

"I ......" Shen Chi hesitated.

"You're not going to send your sister-in-law back, are you?"

"No, Grandpa and Grandma are coming back soon, and I want to entrust Wanwan to their care."

"No way!" Shen Xiu objected: "You only know that grandpa and grandma will take care of their sister-in-law, why don't you want to live so close, what should Wang Zhaodi do if she troubles her sister-in-law?" Grandpa and grandma are old and can't protect their sister-in-law. ”

Seeing that her sister, who had always been well-behaved, had a spicy taste, Shen Chi couldn't help sighing, it was A-Niang's daughter in the end.

However, he also has his concerns, "But if you go with the army, the cost is greater, and it is not as good as eating well in the country." ”

Shen Xiu didn't waver in the slightest when she heard this, "If I were my sister-in-law, I would rather suffer a little than stay at home." After a pause, "Wang Zhaodi can drive people crazy when she tramples on people." ”

Wang Zhaodi doesn't know how to do it, but her mouth is the best among rural women, how vicious she scolds people, and slanders come casually, poking people's hearts and bad reputations.

Shen Chi joined the army at the age of fourteen, was away from home all the year round, and knew little about this stepmother's methods, but Yuan Lin gave him a good "science popularization" before.

Thinking of Yuan Lin's various methods of practicing Wanwan by his stepmother, Shen Chi's face sank, and he began to consider his sister's proposal in his heart.
