Chapter 5: The Trouble of Sour Jujube Cake
Shen Qingru's expression sank, and her tone was faint: "Miss Chang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Since we arrived at Chang's house, we have paid for a drop of water and a grain of rice we have eaten, so why have we lived in vain? ”
Chang Tingting's face turned red, and Zhang glared at her: "Ting'er is young and has no rules to speak, don't take it to heart, girl." ”
Shen Qingru raised her eyebrows and didn't speak. Chang Tingting is young? But he's a year older than her. Zhang himself reacted at this time, and Rao was thick-skinned and couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Yang said with a haha: "It's all a family, how can you calculate so clearly." Tingting is also the fastest for a while, and there is no other meaning. ”
Shen Qingru only smiled. The scene was a little stiff for a while.
Zhang's heart is a little tired, for Mao and she think differently? I thought Shen Qing was like a little girl, but she didn't have her hands on it? Shouldn't we be tearfully grateful for their kindness? What a carelessness!
Stubbornly said: "Although we have a heart, but in the end, we are poor people, and we always have to collect some money to supplement the family." ”
Xu is voice was louder just now, and Xiao Baozi was woken up. With watery eyes open, a small mouth pouted, and a look of grievance, the little appearance is cute. Xiaoyu saw that he was awake and was coaxing with a rattle. Shen Qingru shook his soft little hand and said casually, "How much does the old lady want?" ”
Zhang gritted his teeth: "Three hundred taels, I'll sell those rooms to you." ”
What a big appetite. Shen Qingru lowered his head and covered the mockery in his eyes: "Three hundred taels? At this price, you can also buy a yard in the county. ”
Zhang's eyes darkened: "How can the houses in the county be clean and have a good environment here." There are still a few acres of fertile land behind the old house, and I will give them to you as well. It's also convenient to grow some food. It's right next to Zhuzi's house, and it will be convenient for Ji'er to feed in the future. ”
Shen Qingru was a little regretful: "Listening to the old lady say this, it's really a good place." It's a pity that it's too expensive to afford. "She really has no money, Xiao Ji'er was born with some weakness, she asked Aunt Lan to buy a lot of expensive medicinal materials, and she spent most of the silver.
Zhang naturally didn't believe it. Although she knew that Aunt Lan boiled medicine every day, she thought that it was an ordinary medicinal herb that could be bought for a few taels of silver. It's just that Shen Qingru is stingy and refuses to come out: "Girl, don't coax me, an old woman, everything on the girl's body is good." Take whatever you want, and you can exchange it for a lot of silver. How can you not afford it? ”
Shen Qingru's heart was full of pitiful little eyes of Xiao Baozi, and he was impatient to deal with them again: "No matter how much the old lady says, I can't afford it, so don't waste your tongue." ”
Zhang refused to give up, and wanted to say more, when he suddenly heard Aunt Lan's angry voice say: "If the old lady wants us to leave like this, we will move out tomorrow." ”
Aunt Lan went to the county seat to buy things and just came back, and she listened to a few words of conversation just now, and she was angry and helpless. In the past, even the housekeepers and mothers-in-law of the family were respectful. How dare you talk to the young lady in such a semi-coercive manner? She also knew that it was not as good as before, but when she thought that Miss was not out of confinement yet, she would be oppressed by these people. The fire in my heart can't be suppressed.
In her heart, the young lady who grew up watching her grow up is naturally good. Although Shen Qingru advanced and retreated to a certain extent, not only did he not suffer a loss, but he often said that these people were speechless. But she still felt that the young lady had been wronged. "Why bother our young lady. Although Miss is easy to talk to, not everyone can bully. ”
"Who bullied her? It's clear that she bullied us! Chang Tingting felt aggrieved. She alone can speak better than the three of them!
Aunt Lan said coldly: "Miss Chang is too rude. I'm talking to the old lady, and it's better for the junior not to interject. ”
Aunt Lan was born in the Hou Mansion, and she used to discipline maids and mothers-in-law in the past. The style of the whole body is not comparable to ordinary people. really started the fire, even the Zhang family couldn't help but be frightened, let alone Chang Tingting? He snorted inwardly, not daring to speak.
Yang was also silent. Zhang had no choice but to smile and say: "What is this saying, we are just afraid that Miss Shen will be bored and panicked, so we will talk with you." Why are you leaving. "I will give one or two pieces of silver for one day, which is worth a month's income for their family. How to be willing to let people go.
stood up and said, "We finished talking, and it just so happened that Aunt Lan came back." I'll go back first. Miss Shen, take a good rest. ”
Aunt Lan still had a cold face: "Since we have paid the money, please also ask the old lady to abide by some rules, and don't come over if it's okay." Even the inn doesn't have a reason for people to enter casually. ”
Even if Zhang was angry in his heart, he could only respond with a smile. took Chang Tingting and Yang and walked away.
The three of them returned to their rooms dejectedly. Zhang's family has been the master of the family for decades, when has he been ridiculed like this, he feels that his old face has been lost, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes. Yang observed his words and expressions, but lowered his head and remained silent. Zhang swept his eyes and saw that his daughter-in-law was still obedient, so his heart was a little better.
The Pilu clan is an eyeless one. I was anxious to wait here, and when I saw the three of them coming back, I hurriedly greeted them, and yelled: "Mother, has it happened?" What about money? ”
As soon as he heard the word money, Zhang was poked in the sore spot and scolded: "Qian Qian Qian, I know how to ask for money all day long." What did I do in my last life, marrying such a ruined daughter-in-law as you. You should be the money is blown by the wind in the sky, and with this idle effort, you might as well find something to do. If you don't talk about it, you won't lay eggs. After so many years, the second family has only one seedling. I was so blind that I let you in. ”
Lu Shi was scolded by the split, a little dumbfounded.
Seeing her stupidity, Zhang became even more angry: "Why don't you hurry up and get food, so that your grandfather will come back and starve?" ”
Lu had to hold his stomach to cook. It's better than pig food. was scolded again at the dinner table.
Everyone left, and Aunt Lan's expression softened. "Miss, next time they come, just blast out. We are shameless, what kind of affection do we have. ”
Shen Qingru nodded sympathetically, if she hadn't lived in the Chang family, she would have done this a long time ago.
Aunt Lan received Shen Qingru's support, and her heart felt a lot more comfortable. He said happily again: "Miss, what do you think I bought this time?" ”
Shen Qingru had already smelled the sweet and sour taste, "It's a sour jujube cake, right?" "She's a little anorexic these days, so that's it.
"Miss's nose is really smart." Aunt Lan opened the oil paper, and the small crystal-clear pastries were neatly arranged, attractive and beautiful. "I've been there twice before, but I haven't found it. Coincidentally, this time it happened. ”
Shen Qingru took a piece of it to Xiaoyu first. Xiaoyu didn't want it, Aunt Lan persuaded her twice, and then she took it carefully. Put it in her mouth and take a bite gently, soft and fragrant, sweet and sour, squinting happily, this is the best thing she has ever eaten.
