Chapter 298
After the Liu family came back to the Shen family, it was like a different person, he was polite to everyone, not to mention the housework, not to mention the housework that he was rushing to do, but he was also courteous by the side of the second aunt Shen all day long, which made the second aunt Shen confused, and always felt that something was not right.
The Shen family's mosquito repellent pills and incense pills business has been good, and in the winter, they will start to prepare the materials for the spring of the next year, and several women of the Shen family are sorting and processing herbs in the yard, and Sanqi and the children of the neighbors are squatting outside the courtyard of the Shen family to play.
One was not careful, Sanqi didn't know what to do and fell to the ground, Liu's mother had to rush forward to check, fortunately, there was no big problem, but there were some skin injuries, and the Shen family pharmacy had a lot of ointments for treating trauma.
After seeing the situation, Second Aunt Shen hurriedly said, "Hurry up and lead me to the front shop to get some medicine, the child's skin and flesh are very tender, beware of scars."
Seeing that the Liu family took Sanqi into the front yard pharmacy, Shen Er'er returned to Shen's mother and sat down, and whispered in her mouth: "The Liu family came back this time as if it was a different person, she used to hide far away from the work of sorting herbs, and she couldn't smell it, and she had a headache and nausea when she smelled it, but now she looks like a person who has nothing to do."
The second sister-in-law, Zhao, seemed to have thought of something, and laughed out loud: "Xu is the second aunt has some elixir, and the cousin will not be uncomfortable next to you."
Mother Shen smiled and glanced at Zhao and said, "It's not big or small."
Second Aunt Shen didn't mind, and came to Shen's mother and continued: "Sister-in-law, look, even my nephew and daughter-in-law feel that something is wrong, this Liu family is about to catch up with something now, following me all day long, very strange, sometimes looking at my eyes, I am afraid that she will tie me up one day to exchange money, I always feel like I am thinking about something bad."
Mother Shen was relieved: "What bad things can be pondered, even if there are really things, we can't control what people think in their hearts, don't think so much, maybe it was the incident with Zeuru a while ago, so that she learned a lesson, and now she hasn't passed the strength of being afraid, and wants to slap you as a mother-in-law."
Second Aunt Shen felt even more wronged when she heard this: "I didn't do anything, how could I scare her like this."
As he was talking, he saw that Liu had already walked out of the back door of the pharmacy with Sanqi, and Second Aunt Shen took a look at her little grandson's wound, and then said to Liu: "It's cold outside, take Sanqi back to the house and stay, be careful not to touch the water."
Liu Shi looked at his son's injury, and then looked at Aunt Shen, who was still dealing with herbs, hesitated and said, "Sanqi, you go back to the house by yourself and stay obediently, A-Niang is working here, and I will call A-Niang if you have something."
Second Aunt Shen quietly glanced at Shen's mother, which seemed to mean again: Sister-in-law, look at what I said.
Seeing this, Mother Shen glanced at the herbs that had been processed and said, "Okay, it's almost done today, and the rest will be done again tomorrow, and the weather is strangely cold, so go back to the house to warm up."
When Zhao and Zhou heard this, they took the initiative to take over the work of cleaning up the aftermath, and Aunt Shen wanted to go to the hall with Shen's mother to talk about some homely things, but when she saw the Liu family following closely behind her, she was also in no mood.
As soon as Aunt Shen picked up Sanqi and was about to go back to the house, she heard Shen's mother remind: "By the way, brother and sister, if you don't have anything to do in the future, I will ask the second child to rent a carriage and come back.
Second Aunt Shen had no objections, and said with a smile: "Cheng, I am most willing to go to the market with my sister-in-law, I can do it at any time, as long as my sister-in-law remembers to bring silver."
Speaking of this, Shen's mother smiled helplessly, since once the two of them went to the town to catch the market, but they forgot to bring the money, Shen's second aunt would tease her from time to time, so she replied: "Don't worry, you must remember."
Liu followed Second Aunt Shen into the house, thought about it and said as if unintentionally, "Life at home is indeed getting better and better, and Uncle Niang is going to the town to visit the market now, and she has to rent a carriage."
Second Aunt Shen glanced at her daughter-in-law inexplicably: "In this cold winter, the family goes to the town, and they must not freeze a few times in the unshed ox cart."
Liu Shi explained embarrassedly: "A-Niang misunderstood, I mean family day
I remember that when I first married my father-in-law, I didn't even have an ox cart at home, and I used to hear my mother's parents tell me that the entry and exit in the drama were all carriages and sedan chairs, but they were all big families, and the eldest aunt was very good now."
Second Aunt Shen felt that the Liu family seemed to have something in her words, and when she heard that she was alluding to Shen's mother, Shen Second Aunt followed the Liu family quietly: "But they are all country women, why didn't I see it."
These words stopped in Liu's ears, which meant that Aunt Shen was not convinced by this evaluation, and instantly came to her senses, and hurriedly continued: "It's that the daughter-in-law hasn't seen anything in the world, in fact, if you want to talk about style and bearing, I think A-Niang is more dramatic, so what about being the housewife."
"Really?"
Liu nodded vigorously: "Of course it is, but sometimes, the daughter-in-law feels sorry for you."
"It's a pity, didn't you say that I have style and bearing, like the housewife in the drama."
Liu Shi said with a rather regretful look: "It's a pity that Ah Niang is the style and bearing of your family, I heard that the big families, who has the ability, who is in charge of the family, if our family is Ah Niang, it would be good if you are in charge of the family, and the daughter-in-law can still learn from you, now the eldest uncle is in charge of the family, and we are still separated by a layer."
The more Aunt Shen listened, the more she had the feeling that Liu's fox tail was about to be exposed, so she deliberately sighed and said, "That's no way, who will hand over the house to your aunt when you let your grandma leave."
Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that he had groveled recently, and finally he didn't have a mother-in-law in vain, this relationship was close, so he naturally told the truth to himself, her aunt was right, how could anyone who didn't want to hold silver in her hands.
"It's not impossible, it's just that it may take some work."
Second Aunt Shen looked very interested, and hurriedly asked, "What's the way, Liu's you come and hear it."
Although the Liu family was so excited at the moment, she still remembered what her aunt told her that the matter of family separation could not come out of her mouth, so she said, "Why don't you learn from your cousin, the Chu family back then...... My daughter-in-law admires my cousin a lot."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Shen knew what the Liu family meant, and she was thinking of her own family, thinking of the Liu family's various performances after returning from the Liu family, if she wanted to say that there was no instigation from the Liu family behind this, she would not believe it.
Second Aunt Shen pretended to confirm and said, "Liu, you mean to split the family, isn't this good?"
Liu Shi secretly rolled her eyes, she said it was so obvious, what else was there to ask, but she still continued to persuade on her face: "A-Niang, what's wrong with this, isn't it a matter of time or time, look at your cousin, the Chu family has been separated for so long, no one says that the cousin is good."
"You take Sanqi back first, I have to think about it."
Liu's heart was happy, and he no longer pestered Shen Er'er, picked up Sanqi and walked out of Shen's second aunt's house.
Since the fight, the Liu family no longer follows behind Aunt Shen every day, and no longer scrambles to do the work, as if it has changed back overnight, the Liu family who was a little lazy and calculating.
On this day, the uncle of the Zhang family sent some bacon and pickled fish to the Shen family, and Shen's mother thought that she had added two more meat dishes in the evening, and she should prepare some soju for the men in the family, so she beckoned Shen Songjie to call, and was talking when she was stopped by the Liu family who heard the movement.
"Uncle, let's go, second cousin rests, I'll go."
Ignoring the reactions of Shen's mother and Shen Zeqi, he took the wine jug in Shen's mother's hand, but he didn't go far from the courtyard gate, but he went in the opposite direction and went straight to Liu's house.
Before the Liu family could reach the halfway point, he was stopped by the boss of the Liu family who was waiting halfway: "Why did you just come out, Lao Tzu has been waiting for you for a long time."
"You didn't ask the village baby to send me a message, saying that I would sneak home, then I don't have to find an excuse to come out, brother, what are you looking for me, why are you still sneaking around?"
The eldest of the Liu family asked, "Didn't you say that you had persuaded your mother-in-law last time, what did she think about, why didn't there be any movement at all?"
Liu Shi sighed and said, "I'm still thinking about it, I guess I can't wipe my face, big brother, you come out with me and that's it?"
The boss of the Liu family naturally didn't come out of the Liu family, so he just asked, and just listened to him: "According to your man and your in-laws' temperament, I'm afraid that even if Zhang Luo divides the family, he will also suffer a loss, Brother is not afraid that you will suffer, so he will give you an idea."
The boss of the Liu family approached the Liu family as he spoke, muttering a few words in a low voice, but before he had just said the beginning, he heard the Liu family shouting, "What, eldest brother, you asked me to steal the recipe for the Shen family's incense pills?"
"What are you yelling about, you have to let the whole village know, right?"
Liu frowned, he really couldn't understand his brother's intentions: "It's not the eldest brother, what does it matter if you steal this recipe and share it with me?"
At the beginning, after the boss of the Liu family knew from the mouth of the Liu family that the Shen family's incense pills were so profitable, he always wanted to get involved, not only thought about it but also mentioned it to Shen Zeqi in person, and the Shen family brothers refused, but for the sake of his wife and brother, Shen Zeqi said that he could invite him to work in his own traditional Chinese medicine field, and the monthly salary was also a lot.
But where can the boss of the Liu family look down on this kind of hard work, he has always been angry in his heart, and recently picked up the Shen family to split up, so he remembered this matter again, thinking about stealing the recipe, even if he didn't do it himself, he would take the recipe to the jewelry shop in the town and sell it, it would be a lot of money.
But the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so we met quietly this time.
The old man of the Liu family will not tell all his true thoughts, and half-truths and half-truths fooled the Liu family: "Are you sure that when the time comes, the Shen family's money-making transactions can be divided into your second room, you don't mean that the Shen family's business is all done by your sister-in-law, and even if it is half of the family at that time, then you will also suffer."
It's better to steal all those secret recipes while you don't know it now, even if the Shen family favors one over the other at that time, you can rely on those recipes to do business again, right?"
Liu was obviously moved, rubbing his hands and pondering, "I haven't seen it before, how can I steal it?" On weekdays, when I go to the backyard to help, I only see those herbs."
"Then go and find it, the Shen family's medicine shop, or your man's, there will always be one, it's really not good, when you go to help, you always know the proportion of herbs, steal all those medicinal materials, let's go to the town to find a medicine shop, and we can also know this prescription."
But you have to keep this matter secret, no one can say it, our father and aunt can't do it, otherwise if the Shen family knows, I'm afraid they won't even give you a tael of silver, you remember to steal it and take it out to me, it's not safe to keep this thing in your hands, put it in my place, I'll keep it for you first."
Liu nodded and said, "Then when the time comes, I will also find a baby from the village to report to you."
"It's done."
After discussing this, the Liu family really went to drink with the wine jug, and the boss of the Liu family also walked towards his house, and neither of them noticed that in a narrow alley behind them, a figure flashed by.
