Chapter 3 Pretending to be clever

Shu Ning Shuqing saw that Li Xiaojiu dared not listen to them, and was about to beat this little slut, but was shocked by the girl's cold gaze. Thinking of the Li family's notoriously shameless situation in the village, he had no idea for a while, so he had to scold and run to find the Shu Wang family.

After all, the Shu Wang family has been a housekeeper for many years, and they know that the more times like this, the more they must make the villagers feel that their family is generous. It's good to help them get justice, they can't go head-to-head with a scoundrel like Li Xiaojiu, and their Shu family is not bad for such a meal.

After listening to Shu Ning's complaint, Shu Wang said to Shu Ning with a calm old face: "Bring her to breakfast, by the way, what about Ah Chen? ”

When Shu Ning heard this, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but a sad look appeared on his face and said, "My brother is not feeling well, and he hasn't gotten up yet." ”

Shu Wang sighed when he heard this, and asked Shu Ning to loosen Lu Yu's ties and take him to the hall.

There are a total of seven people in the Shu family, the big house Shu Duofu Li Mei and the two daughters of Shu Ning and Shu Qing, and the second room is left with Shu Widow and Shu Chen.

There are few men in the Shu family, and there is a sick seedling, the life is poor, breakfast is only a few bowls of rough batter, a few nests, and a plate of black pickles.

Shu Ning and Shu Qing's eyes fell on the wild egg in front of Shu Wang's at the same time, Shu Qing swallowed her saliva: "Grandma, my brother hasn't gotten up yet, can you share this egg with my sister?"

"What nonsense!" Shu Ning glared at her: "Of course the good things should be kept for Ah Chen, what will the two of us eat." ”

Although she is also jealous of her grandmother's partiality, she and Xiaoqing haven't eaten eggs for a long time, Shu Ning is smarter than Shu Qing, and her disguise is not leaky.

Mother said, when Shu Chen's sick seedling dies, everything will be theirs.

Seeing that Shu Ning was so sensible, Widow Shu ironed in her heart, although she died early in the man, and Ah Chen was also sick, fortunately, the family treated their orphans and widows well.

"You two divide this egg, and when Chen'er wakes up, I'll make him something else. ”

"No!" Li Mei said stubbornly: "Our family doesn't have much to eat, and my daughter doesn't want anything, she leaves it to Ah Chen." ”

After that, he picked up the egg, and said with a worried face: "I'll go and see if Ah Chen is awake." ”

Lu Yu silently picked up the unpalatable rough batter in the bowl, looked at the pretending big house, and only felt funny

However, all this has nothing to do with her, she just wants to take revenge on the Shu family, she is not very impressed by the boy named Shu Chen, and vaguely remembers that he is a very good-looking child with a strange personality.

Although Lu Yu has sympathy for Shu Chen now, everyone has their own lives, and she has no energy to meddle in other people's lives.

After breakfast, Shu Wang's family got up and prepared to go to Li's house to ask for silver, and instructed Shu Ning before going out: "Find some work for Li Xiaojiu, our Shu family will not leave idlers." ”

Shu Ning answered, and after Shu Wang went out, he turned out the clothes at home, piled up two large basins in front of Lu Yu, and coldly ordered: "Little slut, wash these clothes, otherwise we will kill you!"

After that, he pulled Shu Qing into the house and sat cross-legged on the kang.

"Sister, can grandma get the silver back?" Shu Qing was not at ease, if the silver didn't come back, she couldn't really leave Li Xiaojiu's slut, what if she really made her brother happy, what if the sick seedlings were cured?

"How do I know. Shu Ning was not angry: "The Li family is a well-known scoundrel in the village, but it's okay for her to stay, and grandma and second aunt will definitely clean her up." We can do her work too. ”

"But, will Shu Chen really marry her?"

"How is it possible? That sick seedling was spoiled by his grandmother, and he was very proud, and a slut who eloped with someone would not want it. If you don't feel at ease, just find a way to drive Li Xiaojiu away when the time comes. ”

Shu Ning was wishful thinking, and did not take Li Xiaojiu in his eyes at all, remembering that Brother Da Niu promised that he would come to the house to propose marriage after a while, Shu Ning felt that he was a winner, and he looked down on Li Xiaojiu even more in his heart.

Sure enough, as Shu Ning expected, at noon, Shu Wang's family came back from outside with a black face.

Widow Shu, who had just returned from working in the field, hurriedly asked, "Mother, how is it?"

Shu Wang's snort: "These shameless people of the Li family, when they asked for the bride price, they were better than anyone else, and now they are pretending to be stupid, and what do they say Li Xiaojiu, who lost money and sold them to Ah Chen as a daughter-in-law, what is my grandson!"

When Li Mei on the side heard this, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she feigned anger and said: "A-Ning Aqing is sensible and diligent, what do you want Li Xiaojiu to do? I'll drive the little slut away!"

As soon as Li Mei's words fell, she was startled by the clothes that had been dried in the courtyard.

Because there are few men in the family, the adults have to work in the fields, and the housework is assigned to Shu Ning Shuqing, when have those two girls been so diligent?

At this time, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen, and the Shu family, who had been busy all morning, suddenly felt hungry.

At this time, Lu Yu timidly came out of the kitchen: "Grandma Shu, Auntie, I'm ready to eat, let's eat something first." ”

The Shu family is poor, but fortunately, there are many wild vegetables in the countryside at this time, and the villagers are boiling and eating them with boiling water, barely satisfying.

Lu Yu fried the vegetable balls in oil, made sour and spicy and delicious cold vegetables, green vegetable soup, and even the most common wotou was made by Lu Yu to be exceptionally soft and delicious, with a sweet taste of corn.

Although there was not much oil and water, the Shu family couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"I can't see that you're pretty good at cooking. ”

Shu Wang sighed, if this Li Xiaojiu checks a little, it will be a good granddaughter-in-law, but it's a pity......

Cooking on weekdays is the work of Shu Ning Shuqing's sisters, Li Mei saw that Li Xiaojiu was so capable, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she poured some balls into the bowls of her two daughters, and said on the other hand: "It takes a lot of oil to fry this thing, right? I remember that our oil cylinder is about to bottom out." ”

Widow Shu said: "It's okay to do it once in a while. ”

Although their family is poor, they are not reluctant to get any oil.

"But our family's money still has to buy medicine for my brother, it is best to save some money, after all, your family's bride price has not yet returned. ”

It was Shu Ning who spoke, she was not very old, she had a ghost in her stomach, and she instantly blocked Widow Shu from speaking.

Shu Chen's illness made Widow Shu feel guilty all the time and felt that she had dragged down her family.

Lu Yu, who was only given a bowl of thin soup and half a nest on the side, said with a smile: "I made this ball for Shu Chen, I think he is sick and should eat something with oil and water." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shu Ning and Shu Qing looked at most of the bowl of meatballs in the bowl, and they were instantly embarrassed.
