Chapter 16: A belated apology

Liu Jizhu's eyes are higher than the top, looking down on the poor Wu family, every time the two families move, she has to be scolded by her mother-in-law to help poor relatives, and the movement of the two families gradually decreases.

Later, the parents of the Liu family died, and the two families should have divided the little grain production of the family equally, but Liu Jizhu relied on the power of his in-laws and forced most of them to leave, leaving only a few broken houses for Wu Shuangniang.

Since then, the two have not corresponded.

That year, Wu Shuang's father was seriously ill, Wu Shuangniang had to manage the household and see a doctor and catch medicine, she couldn't go out to sea to fish alone, so she did some pulp washing and sewing work every day to survive, and there was a young Wu Shuang at home, and she couldn't go on this day, so she could only go to the Shen family for help.

The Shen family didn't even open the door, and in the cold winter of Layue, they let Wu Shuangniang knock on the door for most of the hour.

At that time, the Shen family built a tiled house, the courtyard wall was built high, and the gate was painted with vermilion lacquer, which looked so magnificent.

Wu Shuangniang didn't expect to borrow much money, she just hoped that she could have some rough noodles so that their family could have a peaceful New Year, and maybe Wu Shuang's father would not come to the New Year after this year.

But such a wish did not come true, and in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they sent Wu Shuang's father away hungry.

The news spread quickly, and Wu Shuang's ability to make money with the restaurant in the town had already flown into Liu Jizhu's ears.

She had long been jealous.

That Wu Shuang is just a fool, and she has such a terrifying birthmark on her face, when she was a child, she had to wrap a headscarf around her head every time she went out, for fear of scaring others.

I heard that I met the blessing of the sea god, so I was reborn.

How could such a good thing not befall them?

Especially today, she heard from the people who came back from Anhai Village to save her relatives that Wu Shuang had fallen in love with a rich son, and the rich son not only sent gold, silver and jewelry to their family, but also specially built a house for Wu Guitian's family.

No matter how Wu Shuang says it, she is also a member of her family, and such a good thing can't fall on Wu Guitian, who can't be beaten by eight poles.

I knew that I would adopt this stinky girl back then.

The more Liu Jizhu thought about it, the more angry he became, his subordinates didn't pay attention, and tore the handkerchief that was being embroidered with all his strength.

Mrs. Shen came out of the back room, saw this scene at a glance, and was about to hit her with a cane, "You are useless, you can't give birth to a son, you can't even do an embroidery job, a stupid woman like you, no wonder she can't control your man." ”

Liu Jizhu felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything.

The eldest son of the Shen family is a lazy master, when she got married, she only took a fancy to his solid family, but she didn't expect that no matter how good his family background was, he couldn't stand him tossing every day.

"It's all you a broom star, and it's not good for our family to marry you."

Liu Jizhu muttered quietly, "Your own son is not a thing, what's the use of blaming me." ”

The old lady was old and old, but her ears were not deaf, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to quarrel, Shen Da came back from outside with a disgraced face, and the clothes he was wearing when he left today were full of mud.

As soon as Mrs. Shen saw her son like this, she knew that nothing was good, so she hid and went into the back room.

Shen Da went to Liu Jizhu and said, "Give me some money." ”

"No, the family is almost unable to open the pot, how can I have the money for you to drink."

Shen Da didn't believe it, he turned it all over at home, Liu Jizhu couldn't stop him, looking at the mess in the house, he sat in front of the door and cried out to the sky.

Shen Ruoran, the daughter of the Shen family, came out when she heard the voice, helped her mother, and comforted her a few words.

Shen Da was irritated when he heard this, and he squatted at the door with a depressed expression.

Suddenly, he remembered the gossip he had heard in the tavern, and hurriedly got up to ask his daughter-in-law, "Is that girl named Wu Shuang in Anhai Village your niece?" ”

Liu Jizhu didn't want to pay attention to him, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"It's really, it's okay now, I heard that your niece is out of work now, has the ability to make money, and saved a son-in-law to go back, people are now thanking her as a life-saving benefactor, and the benefits in the future can be less, you are also her aunt, it's not too much to borrow a few taels of silver from her."

Liu Jizhu's eyes rolled, thinking that Wu Shuang, this girl was very stupid before, and now maybe she is not shrewd.

She stretched out her hand to call Shen Ruoran over and touched her daughter's face, such a beautiful appearance followed her, even in the entire Liuhe Village, it was one of the best.

She doesn't know how many times her daughter's appearance is many times higher than that Wu Shuang, and she knows which one is good and which one is bad at a glance, so she doesn't believe that the rich boy is not moved at all.

Liu Jizhu wiped her tears, got up and dusted off her clothes, called her daughter to the back room, and picked out the most decent clothes for her to dress up.

Early the next morning, I asked someone who went to Anhai Village to bring her over.

Wu Shuang is cleaning the two newly built rooms, planning to vacate one for Song Qingyuan and one for the two brothers, Wu Xiuwen and Wu Xiuwu, so that they can live more spaciously.

The three fathers and sons went out to sea to fish, and Wu Shuang was left at home with the eldest son of Song, who said that he wanted to do business but had not seen action for a long time.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

When Wu Shuang went to open the door, she saw a woman not much older than her standing at the door, wearing a lotus pink dress with a hairpin on her head, looking a little familiar.

"You are?"

Shen Ruoran held her hand and said affectionately: "I'm your cousin, don't you remember?" ”

It seems that my mother is right, this cousin is really stupid.

Wu Shuang didn't have a good impression of the original relatives, she had a strange uncle before, and now she has a cousin.

Shen Ruoran handed over the box of pastries he brought, and naturally walked towards the house.

"You're the only one at home?"

Wu Shuang didn't have the patience to greet her, so she asked her to sit down on a small rattan chair in the courtyard, and made a cup of coarse tea for her, "What is the matter with my cousin's visit today?" ”

Shen Ruoran frowned, with a cry in her voice, and said: "The previous thing was that our family couldn't stand you, but you know how powerful my grandmother is, and my mother is also powerless, so she can't help you at all, and my sister won't blame us now." ”

Wu Shuang has a little memory of the things in the original body, but not much, and it is very chaotic, but this incident is unforgettable, it was a day of reunion, but they couldn't eat a full meal.

It's okay not to mention it, but Wu Shuang doesn't want to see this cousin even more when he thinks about it.

"It's been so long, what did my cousin mention it for?" Wu Shuang's implication was to let her get out of the way, but Shen Ruoran didn't realize it, and was still muttering about it over and over again.

Wu Shuang's face was cold, "My father and mother are dead, can I forgive me?" This is their business, it has nothing to do with their cousin, and the road is not easy to walk when it gets dark, so please go back. ”

The tears in Shen Ruoran's eyes finally fell, and her eyes were slightly red, a little more delicate than before.

"To tell you the truth, I came this time to stay with my sister for a few days."

Wu Shuang was stunned, what a shameless routine.

In the next quarter of an hour, Shen Ruoran cried so much that her father was not a thing, drank and drained his family, and owed a lot of debts

The family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, only her mother was struggling to support her, and the strong grandmother didn't like her, so she wanted to marry her off quickly, and found a family affair for the rich family to do a continuation of the strings, the man was more than thirty years older than her, and half of her body was about to be buried in the loess, so she secretly ran out of the house.

Wu Shuang lifted her eyelids and yawned, this is about her.

"I was really desperate to come to my sister, and my mother said that you would definitely help me."

Wu Shuangxin said that this is not necessarily, she was thinking about what method to use to send her, when she saw Shen Ruoran's neck stretched out and looked inside, as if she wanted to find something.

"What are you looking for, cousin?"

Shen Ruoran smiled embarrassedly, "I heard that someone adopted you, and I should have seen your family." ”

Wu Shuang said: "What I said is that now this house and this yard are not mine, and I am also sent under the fence, so I can't just agree to you to live here, so it's better to wait for my father to come back and ask him." ”

Shen Ruoran asked how many people there were in the family.

Song Qingyuan came out of the room at this time, pretending to find out that there were guests.

Shen Ruoran wrinkled his eyebrows and glanced at him, seeing that although he was good-looking, he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, so he thought that he was one of Wu Guitian's two sons, and even greeted him extremely perfunctory.

Wu Shuang didn't say much to see her like this.

Before dark, the three fathers and sons of the Wu family returned.

After the fishing boat was repaired, it was more stable than before, and I don't know how Wu Xiuwen did it, they took advantage of the good weather to go to a slightly farther place and caught a boatload of fish.

Several people were sweating profusely, their clothes were soaked, and they were wearing wet sheepskin boots on their feet, and as soon as they entered the door, they brought in a fishy wind, and Shen Ruoran couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, showing disgust on his face.

Wu Guitian found that there were guests at home, and cast an inquiring glance at Wu Shuang, Wu Shuang introduced Shen Ruoran in a few words, she just wanted to pull Wu Guitian to say a few words in private, and asked him not to promise Shen Ruoran, but she didn't expect Shen Ruoran to not give her this opportunity, and began to complain about her bitterness in tears.

Wu Guitian is a well-known good old man, soft-hearted, how can he see a female doll crying.

Wu Shuang was so anxious that he gave Wu Guitian a look, Wu Guitian didn't understand, but Wu Xiuwen on the side understood, but before he could hold his father, Wu Guitian responded quickly.

"What's wrong with this, Xiaoshuang's cousin is her own person, if you don't dislike it, you will live in the same room with Xiaoshuang first."

Wu Shuang sighed in her heart.

Shen Ruoran finally burst into tears and laughed.

After a long time, Shen Ruoran finally reacted, if the two people who followed Wu Guitian were his two sons, then who was the handsome young man in coarse cloth clothes?

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoran was shocked in his heart.

Could it be that he is the rich boy?

Shen Ruoran was immediately annoyed, she shouldn't have been careless at that time, she didn't even seem to look at him much. This must have left him with the impression of being arrogant and not close to him.

Later, I thought about it, the woman should be reserved when she saw a strange man, and she didn't say anything excessive, and then she behaved better in the future, maybe there was room for redemption.

At this time, every household was smoking, and the smell of rice next door wafted over.

Wu Shuang packed up the tea set in the yard and said, "I'll cook." ”

Shen Ruoran seized the opportunity to perform and volunteered to help in the kitchen.

"At home, I also cook three meals a day, and the two of us can be faster together, so why don't you do this, my sister and I will each cook a few dishes, so that everyone can also taste my craftsmanship."
