Chapter 18: Liu's Troubles
After paying the money, Lin Shugen said that he would go back to the county government office to handle the title deed in a few days, and Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin returned home and began to continue their daily pickling and brewing work.
After Grandma Lin came back, she heard that the Mu family was going to buy land and build a house, and she was very happy for them.
The Mu family lived in the middle of the mountain last year, and the youngest son almost died of illness in the winter, and now he has been deceived by Mrs. Shen for so much money, and his life is almost unbearable!
Now that Shen Yunxi is married, the life of the Mu family will be over!
When Grandma Lin went out to work, she didn't forget to tell people, and she even sighed that Shen Yunxi was blessed!
said unintentionally, the listener had a heart, and the words soon reached the ears of Mrs. Shen, who scolded at home, Shen Yunxi had the money to build a house, and she was unwilling to help her mother's family.
If she wants her to say that Mu Chengjin will freeze to death, if this money is given to her Shen family, she will have a better life this winter!
After hearing this, Liu's face was very ugly, she was beaten very badly by Shen Erfu, and she couldn't get out of bed for a long time, but Shen Pingping got some food for her, and she recovered some vitality.
But the injury on her face was still terrifying, coupled with her expression at the moment, so frightened that Shen Zhenxing hurriedly hid in Shen Pingping's arms.
Early the next morning, Xia Yifan's luxurious carriage appeared in the village again, and the village became lively again, Shen Pingping, Shen Xiujuan and Xu Zihui all came out to watch, hoping to get the favor of this rich boy.
However, this time they were very disappointed, this time it was the strong man who got off the carriage, not Xia Yifan.
Shen Pingping wanted to work, she hurried back without seeing Xia Yifan, Shen Xiujuan pouted and walked back slowly, only Xu Zihui, she didn't want to give up, and kept standing next to the carriage and watching.
The strong man who came down was the Hong manager, because the tofu bean brain was not strong, and the wooden frame was needed for transportation, and it was too heavy for people to carry, so yesterday Xia Yifan discussed with Shen Yunxi and them, Qingfeng Lou let the carriage come to pick up the goods early in the morning, and the silver goods were received on the spot every day.
Every day, the Mu family provides 20 catties of tofu, 20 catties of bean brains, and 10 catties of bean sprouts, with a total income of 1,200 wen. Among them, the bean brain is set at 20 wen a catty.
Xia Yifan is very shrewd, he can see that there is more water in the bean brain than tofu, so he pressed the price!
But bean brain is more beautiful and silky than tofu, so when it is sold from Qingfeng Building, bean brain is more expensive than tofu!
Mu Chenglin collected the 1,000 texts, and gave the remaining 200 texts to Shen Yunxi.
Xu Zihui saw from a distance that Mu Chenglin carried out a lot of wooden frames and put them into the carriage, she didn't know what was inside, and after the carriage gradually went away, she was unwilling to go back.
The carriage of the Xia family came to the Mu family to pull the goods, which many people saw, the Xia family just came to deliver the goods two days ago, and now the Mu family has begun to deliver, and the Mu family has actually started a business with the Xia family.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the village, saying that Shen Pingping and Liu did not have long eyes, and such a good marriage would knock out the stepsister and marry instead.
Let Shen Yunxi marry here, and Cui Xiucai, who wants to marry over there, doesn't take her seriously, this is simply a bamboo basket for nothing!
Some people even use Shen Pingping as a negative teaching material to discipline their daughters, don't do this when looking for a partner, otherwise you won't get anything in the end!
Liu finally couldn't sit still, she dragged her injured body and walked halfway up the mountain step by step.
Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin were busy working, after eating sauerkraut fish last time, Xia Yifan was very interested in sauerkraut, so they began to collect vegetables again and pickle a jar every day.
There is also vinegar, which is also pickled in a jar every day, and bean sprouts are soaked in a batch every day.
In addition to sauerkraut and vinegar, Shen Yunxi began to brew soy sauce and soybean sauce again, and Mu Chenglin gave her a hand.
Aspergillus oryzae is used when brewing soy sauce and soybean paste, Shen Yunxi always has to find an excuse to break Mu Chenglin apart, Mu Chenglin is now walking away very happily, and when he comes back, Shen Yunxi has already mixed soybean flour and Aspergillus oryzae.
In fact, if you look closely, you can still see that the flour sticking to the soybeans is a little dark, but he didn't ask.
Now the entire backyard is full of all kinds of jars, and Shen Yunxi feels a great sense of accomplishment.
Unexpectedly, she never knew how to cook, but after memorizing these methods over and over again, she made so many different ingredients again and again.
Shen Yunxi took out the jar of capers in the corner, after so many days, the capers have become!
At noon today, let Mu Chenglin fry bacon with capers.
Mu Chenglin took the capers and was about to get the bacon when Liu knocked on the door of the Mu family's courtyard.
Shen Yunxi thought that the person who delivered the food was coming, so he went to open the door, and found that the person standing at the door was actually Liu, who had a wounded face.
What did she come to do?
Shen Yunxi didn't want her to come in, but Liu saw Mu Mu who was giving clothes to a large family in the courtyard at a glance, and Mu Mu had a lot of fabrics in front of her, all of which had just been cut!
Liu smiled and greeted Mu Mu directly, and Mu Mu had to put down the work in her hand and get up to welcome Liu in.
Liu greeted Mu's mother with all kinds of greetings, "I heard that Ah Lin, the child, went to the street a few days ago and bought a lot of cloth, and now he is making autumn clothes!" ”
Mu Mu was a little uncomfortable when she saw Liu's attitude, but she still replied politely without hitting the smiling person, "Yes, it's going to be cold soon, and Yunxi, this girl only has a few old clothes to marry, how can a girl do without a few clothes!" ”
Liu didn't seem to understand what Mu Mu was trying to say, "My Pingping is also a good at making clothes, let her help you!" At this age, you have to protect your eyes well, and when will you do so many clothes! ”
When Liu said this, Mu's mother seemed to understand a little, Liu deliberately said Shen Pingping, in fact, he regretted seeing that their current life was better, and the latter sentence was actually to point out that Shen Yunxi couldn't even make clothes, and she was not a qualified daughter-in-law.
"Our Mu family's daughter-in-law doesn't need to know how to make clothes, just be beautiful and well-behaved like Yunxi!" Mu Mu also put away her smiling face and said a little unhappily.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was suddenly a little tense, Mu Chenglin worked on his own, and Shen Yunxi let Mu Chengjin go back to the house.
Liu continued, "The marriage between Ah Lin and Pingping, we thought about it, it's still good, when will the two of us discuss a time to let Pingping get married!" ”
Shen Yunxi immediately laughed, and Liu Shi turned his head and stared at Shen Yunxi, and that look, like a poisonous snake, made Shen Yunxi's whole body have goosebumps.
This Liu family, can't he be stupid by Shen Erfu?
Mu Chenglin, who had been working, raised his head and looked at Liu with an unkind gaze, and Mu's mother pulled her face down, "I said Liu, Shen Pingping and my Ah Lin still have any marriage, on the day of the wedding, you stuffed Yunxi into a sedan chair like that, and we haven't settled accounts with you yet!" ”
Liu didn't care about Mu's mother's attitude, "So I made a mistake, do it again, Shen Yunxi returned to the Shen family, and Pingping married!" ”
"I disagree!" Mu Mu stood up and wanted to send Liu out of the door.
Liu didn't seem to see it, "Originally, this marriage contract belonged to Pingping and Ah Lin, so Pingping should be allowed to marry in!" Otherwise, would you not have lost the hundred and twenty taels of silver? ”
"We don't want the one hundred and twenty taels, so we should spend money to buy a lesson. Yunxi is very good, her name is also written on this marriage book, it is impossible for our Mu family to let her go, and it is impossible for Shen Pingping to marry in! Mu Mu's attitude was extremely resolute, and it was the first time Shen Yunxi had seen her speak to someone like this.
Liu stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his body, "Since you have a fancy for Shen Yunxi, why did you say that it was my Pingping when you were hired?" ”
"That's not because you beautify your daughter in various ways outside, so we mistakenly think that Shen Pingping is really that good, now that so many things have happened, do you think we can still take a fancy to Shen Pingping?" Mu Mu didn't deal with the Liu family anymore, and directly put Shen Pingping's face on the bright side.
"How I beautify my daughter is my business, when you are hired, you say that Shen Pingping is responsible, since you are reluctant to Shen Yunxi, then so let's do it, Pingping is the wife, Shen Yunxi is the concubine, anyway, it is stuffed into the sedan chair, and it is normal to be a concubine!"
Shen Yunxi almost laughed, she hated that she didn't have melon seeds in her hands, otherwise she could really eat melons quietly.
This Liu family is crazy, is it, Shen Pingping is the wife, she is the concubine? The Mu family will only agree when their brains are in water!
Besides, now that Mu Chenglin has also seen Shen Pingping herself, with Shen Pingping's face, she doesn't believe that Mu Chenglin can be mouthful!
Mu Mu was so angry that she didn't react for a while, Mu Chenglin threw the bacon in his hand into the water, and said, "Impossible, I Mu Chenglin will never take a concubine in my life!" ”
Shen Yunxi raised his eyebrows, this kid can do it, he has a future!
When it comes to concubines, Mu Mu and Mu Chenglin's eyebrows and eyes have an extra layer of haze, and there is really a story!
Seeing that the Mu family did not enter the oil and salt, the Liu family was very remorseful, if Shen Yunxi's name had not been written on the marriage certificate at the beginning, she would have made some trouble today, and she could still make some noise.
But for Cui Zixuan, she and Shen Pingping did a great job, just for Shen Yunxi and there was no turning back!
But she doesn't regret it at all, Shen Yunxi is not her own, Shen Pingping is her baby daughter, whether Shen Yunxi is doing well or not has nothing to do with her!
"Since you are not willing to be responsible for Shen Pingping, then lose money! In addition, when Shen Yunxi was six years old, I entered the Shen family and raised her for six years, and I happened to pay me together! ”
Money again? Could it be that the Liu family was pulled over by Mrs. Shen? Shen Yunxi couldn't help but doubt in his heart!
Mu Mu and Mu Chenglin didn't speak, they wanted to see what the Liu family wanted.
"The land at the foot of the mountain is just right, Pingping's reputation in the village has declined because of this incident, and it will be even more difficult to find a good family in the future!"
"Shen Yunxi has no mother since she was a child, she was raised by my stepmother, and she should be filial to me!"
"This land just makes up for us!"
After Liu finished speaking, he looked up at the sky, Mu Mu turned around and continued to make clothes, Mu Chenglin continued to wash bacon, and Shen Yunxi wanted to laugh and hold back.
At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open fiercely, "Liu, you are too shameless, right?" ”
Shen Yunxi looked back and saw that it was Yang Xiaomi's mother, Aunt Yang, who carried a lot of vegetables and came to send vegetables to their family.
"When Mu Chenglin was hired, he was talking about Shen Pingping, but you didn't want to marry and wanted the dowry money, so you injured Yun Xi and stuffed it in."
"Now that I see that the Mu family is living a good life, don't talk about what you did yourself, and repeatedly emphasize that the person who has a marriage contract is Shen Pingping, then why don't you talk about the thing you and Shen Pingping did, and rob your stepsister's marriage?"
"Let Shen Pingping be the wife, Yun Xi be the concubine, just like Shen Pingping, no one wants to be a concubine!"
"Besides, the old lady of the Shen family can say that Shen Yunxi has grown so big, it is the credit of the Shen family, and it has nothing to do with your Liu family, why do you want to grab credit from the old lady?"
"You are embarrassed to say that the Mu family wants to build a house, if this is the case, who dares to marry the daughter of the Shen family in the future, this is married to the daughter of your Shen family, and the whole family has to take it!"
Aunt Yang has been listening to it outside for a long time, and she really can't listen to it anymore!
She was not there on the day Shen Yunxi was injured, and now she sees Shen Yunxi living her life in the Mu family, and she is also happy for her!
Liu listened to what Aunt Yang said, and the expression on her face was a little unnatural, but she still didn't want to leave here!
Shen Pingping tossed with her for a long time, but she didn't get anything, and her daughter's reputation was ruined, and she was beaten half to death by Shen Erfu.
If she doesn't make some benefits, she is very unwilling.
If Mu Chenglin hadn't found Shen Pingping in the first place, these things wouldn't have happened! She will think of other ways to rob Cui Zixuan.
But Mu Chenglin found Shen Pingping at the beginning, and he got things to such a situation.
The most hateful thing is that they only know that after Mu Chenglin took out so much dowry, his family was poor and couldn't open the pot, but Mu Chenglin never told them that he still had a lot of recipes in his hands.
If they knew this, they would definitely not let go of the Mu family so easily, and Shen Pingping and her would not be so miserable!
So Mu Chenglin is the culprit!
Aunt Yang scolded for a long time, but Liu still stood in the middle of the courtyard and stood still, Shen Yunxi stood up, "Aunt Yang, you go and call grandma over and ask grandma, did she let her stepmother come to my house to ask for land!" ”
"Let's spread this matter to the village again, and see who dares to have dealings with the Shen family in the future!"
As soon as Aunt Yang heard this, she immediately turned her head and was about to go down the mountain, and when Liu heard this, she hurriedly chased after her, and she couldn't let Old Lady Shen know, if she knew, she would definitely be killed!
Old Mrs. Shen has already warned that the Mu family wants to figure it out slowly, as long as they are still in Qingmu Village, this recipe will belong to the Shen family sooner or later.
It's just that she Liu is unwilling, she wants to turn these recipes into Shen Pingping's in advance, so she dragged her body to the halfway up the mountain!
Aunt Yang walked fast, Liu was injured, and she couldn't catch up with Aunt Yang for a while.
After the Liu family left, Shen Yunxi felt that he was in a good mood, and the wicked had their own evil grinding, but it seemed that the concubine proposed by the Liu family made Mu Mu and Mu Chenglin feel a little heavy.
It didn't take long for Aunt Yang to come over again, "Phew! It's just a shameless one! Every day I think about getting something for nothing! You don't know how this Liu family married Shen Erfu back then! ”
As soon as she heard that there were melons to eat, Shen Yunxi pricked up her ears, "Back then, she died a man, and it was not easy to support her daughter alone, so she hooked up with men everywhere, and only if she was pregnant with Shen Erfu's child could she marry into the Shen family!" ”
"Mrs. Shen is worried that Shen Zhenxing is not Shen Erfu's child, and she also did a blood test! But even so, the Liu family has never been in the eyes of Old Lady Shen, thinking that she is dirty! ”
Blood test? This thing is not accurate!
