Chapter 5 The old lady came to the door to ask for someone
That night, the Shen family found out about the movement, and the reason given by the Liu family at that time was that Mu Chenglin was a gentleman, and when she found out that the bride was mistaken, she would definitely send Shen Yunxi back, so that they didn't have to give anything, and they could get one hundred and twenty taels of silver!
Mrs. Shen thought it was a good idea, so she agreed!
She didn't care who Shen Yunxi would marry, Shen Yunxi was as beautiful as Su and literate, and she planned to sell her for a good price.
So when Shen Yunxi hadn't come back the next day, Mrs. Shen planned to go to the door to look for it, but she was stopped by the Liu family again!
The reason is very simple, if the Shen family comes to make trouble, the Shen family will let Shen Yunxi marry again!
And Shen Yunxi spent another night at the Mu family, and he had already lost his innocence, and everyone knew about it, but he would smash it in his own hands.
Just let Shen Yunxi stay in the Mu family, Mu Chenglin can take out one hundred and twenty taels of silver this time, and he may be able to make a fortune one day, and when the time comes, as Shen Yunxi's mother's family, they can naturally go to get a piece of the pie.
Old Mrs. Shen didn't go to the Mu family to ask for someone!
But how could Liu and Shen Pingping let Shen Yunxi come back?
That's why the stick on the head of the original owner was particularly bad! As long as Shen Yunxi stays in the Mu family for one night, even if she comes back, the Liu family and Shen Pingping can also discredit her!
And the Liu family has already contacted the Cui family in the town in private, and after a while, the Cui family will come to propose marriage, and Shen Pingping will be able to marry Cui Xiucai as she wishes!
"Mother! I didn't expect that! Who knew that this Mu Chenglin was so unsophisticated, it didn't matter if the bride was replaced! Liu hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and snorted haha.
"Humph! I think you had another idea, right? Old Lady Shen looked at Liu and Shen Pingping with sharp eyes.
Liu and Shen Pingping sighed in their hearts, wouldn't the old woman know about their private search for Cui's mother?
Then this matter must be done quickly, when the wood is completed, Shen Pingping has become a talented lady, and she can also raise her head in front of the old lady!
"In that case, you will lose money in the second room, right?" Old Lady Shen said this to Shen Erfu.
Shen Erfu is the biological father of the original owner, the second eldest of the Shen family, and he is sitting at the main table at this time gobbling up.
"Losing money? What money to lose? β
"Shen Yunxi is a member of my Shen family, she looks like her own mother, and she is literate, I originally planned to wait for her to be married to a good family, and it is not in vain that the Shen family has raised her for so many years!"
"But you can't tolerate her, and marry her to a hunter, won't my Shen family lose?"
Liu Shi was confused when he heard this, "Mother, didn't that Orion give you one hundred and twenty taels of silver?" β
"That's the money to marry Shen Pingping, it has nothing to do with Shen Yunxi!"
Liu was anxious, "But you have collected all this money, and we haven't caught a penny!" β
Old Madam Shen glanced at her, "Our Shen family has raised Shen Pingping for so many years, is it too much for me to charge her a dowry?" β
Shen Yunxi and Shen Pingping, who co-authored the second room, have grown so big, it is all the credit of the Shen family, and it has nothing to do with her Liu family and the second room?
"I'm Pingping's mother!" Liu was anxious.
"Shen Pingping came to the Shen family when she was eight years old, if the Shen family wasn't willing to take her in and give her a bite to eat, would she have survived? So I shouldn't accept this dowry? β
Liu glanced at Shen Erfu anxiously, Shen Erfu quickly grabbed a piece of fat meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and then touched his mouth full of oil and said, "That mother said, how much money do you have to lose!" β
"Our family Yunxi is more beautiful than Pingping, whiter and tender than Pingping, Su also taught her to recognize words in the past few years, if it wasn't for this, you can definitely find a rich family, this dowry is one thing, and every time you go back to your parents' house in the future, you will bring a lot of gifts."
"Let's just say that it will cost five hundred taels!"
"Five hundred taels?" Liu directly put down his chopsticks, stood up, and screamed.
"Shen Pingping's can be worth one hundred and twenty taels, isn't Shen Yunxi worth five hundred taels?" This time it was Shen Xiujuan, the youngest daughter of Old Lady Shen, who spoke.
The family in the big house and the third room listened to the old lady grinding the Liu family so much, eating melons while eating, how could such a shrewd person as Mrs. Shen suffer?
"Mother, our money has been handed over, let's not talk about five hundred taels of silver, even five hundred copper plates can't be taken out!" Liu cried and wailed poorly, and he didn't want to eat!
Shen Erfu saw that there was still a lot of rice left in Liu's bowl, so he directly brought it to him and ate it.
"Mother, we don't have five hundred taels of silver now, but I have a good way!" Shen Erfu said while eating.
"Oh? What method? Old Mrs. Shen was very curious about what Shen Erfu was talking about.
She also knew that it was impossible for the second family to come up with so much money, so she did this to warn the other rooms not to play tricks in front of her old woman.
Second, if you want to learn from Liu and Shen Pingping, a widow who marries for the second time, and a drag oil bottle, you should bow your head and be a man, not too arrogant.
"Pingping is also fourteen years old this year, find someone rich to marry her, and then give the money to her mother, mother, how do you say?"
"With Shen Pingping's appearance, which rich man would marry her if he is blind?" Shen Xiujuan said sarcastically.
"Shen Pingping is young, she can go and be a concubine for a rich man!" Shen Erfu said while pulling the rice.
As soon as these words came out, a gleam flashed in Old Lady Shen's eyes, and Liu couldn't help it anymore, she stepped forward and grabbed Shen Erfu, "Shen Erfu, what nonsense are you talking about?" How can you let Pingping be a concubine, with such a ruthless stepfather as you? β
Shen Erfu didn't notice it for a while, and blood marks were directly scratched on his face, he immediately stood up and grabbed Liu's hair, "You wicked woman, you hit such a big blood hole on Yunxi's head, and when you married her to Mu Chenglin, why didn't you think about whether you were vicious or not!" β
Liu finally broke free from Shen Erfu's hands, her hair was already messy, "Shen Erfu, didn't you allow this?" β
This thing is indeed allowed, and the entire Shen family knows it!
But now it has been spread outside that in order to let Shen Pingping rob Shen Yunxi's marriage, the Liu family beat him up and married him to Orion.
Since this is the case, then this matter was done by the Liu family and Shen Pingping, and it has nothing to do with the Shen family.
"I am Yunxi's biological father, how could I do such a vicious thing! In a few days, I will inquire which rich family wants to marry a concubine! β
Shen Pingping hurriedly walked up to Liu's and cried, "Mother, I don't want to be a concubine, don't!" β
Mrs. Shen ate quietly, "The concubines of rich families are all beautiful like flowers, and Shen Pingping can't do this." The old lady shook her head.
As soon as Liu and Shen Pingping's hearts fell, the old lady spoke again, "I heard that Hu Yuanwai in the town is forty years old this year, and his wife has not been born, so I want to find a concubine who can give birth to children, and I don't care about appearance." β
"That's good! The child was born to inherit the family property. The Li family of the big house couldn't help but interject.
"Isn't it? Mrs. Hu said that this child will be raised under her knees in the future, just as she came out! The old lady also smiled and said, as if this was a great good thing.
Liu and Shen Pingping glanced at each other, and this matter sounded even better than Cui Xiucai.
After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she continued to eat, and Li held back a smile and accompanied the old lady to dine together.
When Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin returned home, Mu Chengjin and Mu Mu had already prepared lunch.
At noon today, I ate wild vegetables boiled in chicken soup left over from yesterday, and it was accompanied by multigrain rice, which also had a special taste.
After eating, Mu Chenglin planned to go to the mountain to pick hawthorns, at this time there were relatively few mature hawthorns, and it was not easy to get ten catties of sugar hawthorns.
Shen Yunxi went down the mountain and came to a meadow at the foot of the mountain.
The original owner would be driven out to cut pigweed after eating at noon every day, and the Shen family raised a lot of pigs, which consumed a lot of pigweed every day.
Now that she is married to Mu Chenglin, this matter must be replaced by Shen Pingping.
Sure enough, Shen Yunxi saw Shen Pingping paddling on the grass from a distance, and there were only a few sparse grasses in the back basket on the side.
Shen Yunxi walked over quickly, and Shen Pingping turned around when she heard the voice.
Seeing Shen Pingping's face, thinking about Mu Chenglin's face and Cui Zixuan's face, she felt that whoever Shen Pingping married was Gao Pan!
"What are you going to do?" When Shen Pingping saw that it was Shen Yunxi, she asked with a bad face.
"When I was selling sugar gourds in the town today, I met Cui Zixuan."
Sure enough, as soon as she heard Cui Zixuan's three words, Shen Pingping's face was not calm.
"What did he tell you?"
"He! He said that I worked so hard to sell sugar gourds, so he came to care for me. He also said that with such a big scar on my head, the people who started it were too vicious. β
Shen Pingping's face flashed with a different color, the Cui family has always known about this matter, but why did Cui Zixuan say this to Shen Yunxi?
He also said that there was a rich family in the town who wanted to marry his daughter to him, and promised him a large sum of money to help him get the top prize all the time.
"He also praised me for being beautiful, but unfortunately I was calculated, but his friendship with me for many years is still there, if one day ......"
"You fart!" Before Shen Yunxi's words were finished, Shen Pingping roared directly.
Obviously, the person who was talking about marrying her a few days ago, how could he turn his head and say such things to Shen Yunxi.
Shen Pingping didn't believe it, she finally found such a golden beetle son-in-law, but she couldn't slip away from her hands.
The pigweed was no longer cut, she picked up the basket and immediately walked towards the Shen family.
Shen Yunxi didn't expect Shen Pingping to be so calm, just a little bit.
It's no wonder that if you look so ugly, you naturally have no confidence at all.
Boring!
Shen Yunxi turned around and walked towards the mountain.
"What if one day?"
Shen Yunxi was startled by the voice behind her, she turned around and found that Mu Chenglin didn't know when he was behind her.
He saw it when Cui Zixuan was looking for her in the town, and now he heard the words that deliberately stimulated Shen Pingping, now it's okay, it's a misunderstanding!
"No, no, I deliberately stimulated Shen Pingping!"
Mu Chenglin ignored her, "You can leave at any time if you want, but you have to earn me back this one hundred and twenty taels of silver before you can leave!" β
After speaking, Mu Chenglin turned his head and went into the woods.
Shen Yunxi held her forehead, is she considered to have injured the enemy by a thousand and suffered eight hundred?
Back at Mu's house, Mu's mother and Mu Chengjin were still taking a nap, Shen Yunxi took off her clothes and got into the quilt, she couldn't sleep.
The method of sugar gourd is very simple, tomorrow the sugar gourd made of ten catties of sugar will set off a craze in the town, and someone will imitate them the day after tomorrow.
So she wanted to think of a way to improve.
Open the "Fall in Love with the Kitchen" APP, and directly searched for "the practice of pulling silk sugar gourds", and when she tried to make it last night, the sugar silk was entangled, which gave her a little inspiration.
Sure enough, such a sugar gourd has long existed, and the appearance has an illusion that people can't afford to eat.
The taste hasn't changed, it's just the shape that has changed, but it's taller.
Shen Yunxi compared this practice with the previous practice and kept the steps in mind.
After doing all this, she got up, she couldn't sleep anyway, it was better to go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, pick some mushrooms, so much work was thrown to Mu Chenglin alone, and it was enough for him to be busy.
She went up the hill along yesterday's road, and yesterday's field of wild vegetables was a little old, but new wild plants were popping up next to it, and there were many mushrooms under the pine trees not far away.
Shen Yunxi concentrated on drying, looking at this large field of wild vegetables, she suddenly had an idea, that is, to dry vegetables.
In the winter, they can cook dried vegetables and eat them.
Just now she searched for the "Fall in Love with Kitchen" APP, which has a lot of ways to eat dried vegetables.
And drying the vegetables is very simple, no salt is required, only the vegetables need to be washed, scalded in boiling water, and then exposed to the sun.
Just do it, and slowly carry the basket full of wild vegetables, and there are a lot of mushrooms.
After seeing that it was not early, without Mu Chenglin by her side, she didn't dare to stay on the mountain alone in the dark. Shen Yunxi carried a basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms on his back, and walked slowly down the mountain.
On the way back, he didn't meet Mu Chenglin again, presumably he should have picked the hawthorn and went home.
When Shen Yunxi finally walked to the door of the house with the basket on her back, she heard some familiar voices coming from inside, she pushed open the courtyard door and saw the arrogant and domineering old lady, standing in the center of the courtyard and spraying saliva.
It's Mrs. Shen, what is she here for?
Shen Yunxi put down the basket, and all eyes looked at her for a moment.
Old Madam Shen rushed over directly and grabbed Shen Yunxi's arm, "Yunxi, my hard-working granddaughter!" Grandma is so bitter to find you! β
Shen Yunxi finally pulled out her arm, she looked at Mrs. Shen, she was already wrinkled, and her facial features were rubbed together when she cried.
She cried for a long time, not a single tear!
"Grandma didn't know that your stepmother asked you to marry instead! If the people in the village hadn't told Grandma, Grandma would have believed them and thought you had gone out to play! β
Shen Yunxi is really happy!
Shen Pingping was still playing pigweed just now, she was dangling under the old lady's nose every day, would the old lady not know?
Besides, the original owner, a little village girl who is only twelve years old, where can she go to play?
I don't know what the old lady's idea is!
"But grandma, I just saw Shen Pingping cutting pigweed at the foot of the mountain! She is not married, and she is still at home, doesn't grandma think it is strange? β
Old Lady Shen's face flashed with a different color, "Grandma is old, she really hasn't noticed it!" β
At this time, Mu Mu, who has always been gentle, said solemnly, "Aunt Shen family, no matter what, Yun Xi has married into our Mu family, and the marriage book you sent over that day also has Yun Xi's name written on it, since the wood has become a boat, Yun Xi will stay!" β
Mu Mu was a little glad that she didn't exchange Shen Pingping back at that time, although Shen Yunxi couldn't do many things, but at least she didn't act like a demon, Shen Pingping's character could turn the Mu family upside down.
"Why? Even your Mu family also wants to marry Yunxi girl? Don't look in the mirror and look at yourself, just like you poor and sour, Shen Pingping can't look down on you like an oil bottle! β
