Chapter 56: Spending Money to Buy Peace
"Two taels?" When Shen Changge heard this, he said with a smile, "Old lady, you are really generous!" Keep the money, I'll just continue to live here. ”
"I don't have time to talk to you, otherwise the chickens will be stewed old."
She said as she opened the lid.
Suddenly, a rich aroma filled the sultry air.
Even Xie Yanshi couldn't help but take a few deep breaths when he smelled it.
Fragrant, really fragrant!
No wonder Da Long is hungry for the food that the woman cooks, it is really fragrant.
Shen Changge took out the chicken and served it to everyone: "You're welcome, everyone, try my craftsmanship!" ”
Anyway, the fritters have already been eaten, and it's not bad for this bit of chicken.
So, everyone was not polite, tore off a piece of chicken and ate it.
As for Xiaobao, he was so comfortable sleeping on this hot kang that he hadn't woken up yet.
"You...... Where did you get your chickens? Looking at the fragrant chicken, Xie Yanshi suddenly remembered a very important thing.
This fat woman came empty-handed, where did this chicken come from?
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over me.
Shen Changge smiled and said, "It's in the chicken nest." But seriously, your chickens are so poorly raised, so thin that only bones remain. ”
When Xie Yan heard this, his lungs almost exploded.
That's the only old hen in the Xie family!
Since Xie Yichen couldn't make money, she relied on this old hen to lay eggs to replenish her body.
Now, this fat woman dares to stew for her!
"Shen Changge, you're too much!" Xie Yan's whole body trembled with anger, and he stepped forward to tear the woman's hair.
Shen Changge grabbed her wrist, his eyes were fierce and terrifying: "Am I still calling this excessive?" I didn't report to the police to arrest your two precious grandsons and send them to prison, which is already a lot of mercy. ”
"Okay, if you're not willing to let us eat here, then I'll leave right away. When your precious grandson is in jail, don't come to me again! ”
Before the words fell, she shook off Xie Yan's hand heavily.
Seeing that this fat woman was really leaving, Xie Yan's family was scared.
She is not willing to give up the old hen, but she is even more reluctant to give up her precious grandson!
If the grandson has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't the Xie family be doomed?
In desperation, she could only look at Xie Yichen with a plea gaze: "Ah Chen, just persuade her a few words." Can you bear to see your cousin in jail? ”
Xie Yichen glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "Xiaobao is my son." ”
Xie Yanshi listened and closed his mouth in embarrassment.
She rolled her eyes and looked at Shen Changge with a smile: "Changge, my family really has no money anymore." Otherwise, I'll give you a piece of land? ”
"My family has a piece of land at the west end of the village, which is very fertile and close to your house. If I didn't blow it, there weren't many places in the whole Sheung Shui Village that were more fertile than that. ”
Shen Changge didn't have much research on the land, but it was better to have a piece of land than nothing.
Besides, she didn't expect to get much money from the Xie family, she just wanted to teach them a lesson.
Xie Yichen listened, but frowned.
He had bought the land, and it looked extremely fertile, but it didn't grow well no matter what he planted.
The corn planted was not waist-high, and the cabbage rotted within a few days.
The villagers all said that the land was cursed by something.
And then the land was left there, and it became desolate.
He just wanted to speak, but saw Shen Changge nodding: "Okay, this is the last time." In the future, the two brothers dared to do it again, and I also moved in with Xiaobao and them. ”
Xie Yan's chicken nodded as if pecking rice: "Don't worry, it's the absolute last time!" ”
The title deed is ready-made, but the silver is a bit of a problem.
She flipped through it for a long time, and finally barely managed to make it.
Shen Changge checked the money bag, it was all scattered silver.
She casually gave the silver to Aunt Chen, and said lightly: "Auntie, help distribute the money to everyone." On a hot day, you can't let the villagers run in vain, these are everyone's wages. ”
When they heard that there was money, everyone was surprised and delighted.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with this great scourge.
It's only a stick of incense, and they not only eat fried dough sticks and chicken, but even have money to take!
"Sister of the Shen family, you are too polite!" A strong man listened and said with some embarrassment, "Actually, we didn't help anything." ”
From beginning to end, it was this woman who was fighting wits and courage with Xie Yan's alone.
And not only did they not make a sound, but they even wanted to retreat.
Shen Changge said with a smile: "Everyone has helped a lot. If it weren't for the help of the big brothers, maybe Xiaobao would be really dangerous. ”
Soon, the news spread in the village like wings.
As soon as I heard that there was food, drink and money for such a trivial matter, the other villagers who didn't help were going crazy with jealousy.
Knowing this, they would have to rush to help if they said anything.
However, it seems that they will have to get closer to Xie Yichen and his son in the future.
After returning home, Shen Changge took off Xiaobao's dirty clothes, and then put them on the kang.
"So much money is shared, are you willing to do it?" Xie Yichen looked at the woman with complicated eyes.
Two taels of silver is not a small amount, enough for the expenses of ordinary people for a year.
They have been making pastries for the past few days, and the net profit is less than a penny.
Shen Changge took off Xiaobao's clothes and said with a smile: "What's so reluctant about this." Isn't it worth two taels of silver to buy peace for your father and son? ”
Xie Yichen listened, his eyes moved slightly.
This woman is really different.
Not only did she become prettier, but she also became smarter.
As long as these two taels of silver are one cent, are they afraid that no one will protect their father and son in the future?
But if Xie Yanshi knew that Xiaobao was pretending, would she go crazy?
Acting always has to be enough.
For the sake of realism, Xiaobao still pretended to be sick at home for a few days.
The child is active by nature, and after holding it at home for a few days, he is going crazy.
While Shen Changge went up the mountain to hunt, and Xie Yichen was not at home, he quietly slipped out of the door.
As soon as he went out, several children rushed forward.
"You ...... What are you going to do? Xiaobao's face turned white with fright, and his eyes widened in horror.
"I'm coming, I'm the earliest!"
"It should be me, I'm tall, so Xiaobao will be more comfortable."
Xiaobao didn't react yet, but saw those children holding a banana leaf and shading him one after another.
What is this to do?
In the past, when these children were begged to play together, they might not have looked at him squarely.
But now, their enthusiasm scared him a little.
"Get out of the way, I'll come!" The big girl held her chest and swaggered over, "Xiaobao and I are good friends, of course I have to come to this kind of thing!" ”
Seeing that the fat girl was also holding a banana leaf, Xiaobao hurriedly shook her head in fright: "No, no, no, I don't need shade, I'm wearing a straw hat." ”
When the children heard this, they noticed that the little baby was wearing a brand new straw hat on her head.
Sheung Shui Village is so poor that even adults are reluctant to wear it when they go to the fields.
As for the children, they all cover them with a banana leaf.
"Xiaobao, where did you get your straw hat?" One child looked at it and asked enviously.
When Xiaobao heard this, he immediately raised his neck and said triumphantly: "My mother bought it!" ”
"Why do you eat delicious food every day?" Another child asked curiously, "I can smell the fragrance wafting from your house every day." ”
"Because my mother is capable! My mother can catch pythons and make pastries, she can do anything! ”
When the children heard this, they couldn't help but look envious, jealous and hateful.
It would be nice if they had such a mother.
It's just that no one has bullied Xiaobao yet?
If anything, they can make money too.
