Chapter 79

I drank half a bowl of wild vegetable soup last night, and I didn't bother to take a sip of water this morning. Shen Zhimei worked on an empty stomach all morning. When she got off work, she was so hungry that her limbs were weak and she couldn't even walk. .

Because she didn't take out the cotton wool, Mrs. Qian didn't even take out the few drops of cooking oil in recent days.

The wild vegetable soup can only be boiled with a few ladles of water, then pour a shaukei wild vegetable and cook it, and season with a pinch of salt.

What is the difference between the wild vegetable soup without half a grain of oil and the pig food cooked by the production team to feed the pigs?
Naturally, Qian Dabao and Qian Zhizhi didn't have to worry about food, and they wouldn't be hungry even if Mrs. Qian just took some from the cupboard.

Qian Xingsheng is the most promising eldest son in the eyes of Mrs. Qian, not to mention she has given her a precious grandson, Mrs. Qian is willing to treat him badly, and the old man has never broken the small troubles.

Xie Xiaofen, as Qian Xingsheng's bedside person and Qian Dabao's mother-in-law, is not a matter of course.

In the end, the only ones who ate bran swallowed vegetables were their family.

There are so many fine grains in a year...

"My mother, my mother is not feeling well these days, so don't worry about her." Qian Xingwang chased Shen Zhimei with a hoe, and said in a low voice.

The corners of Shen Zhimei's lips curled into a bitter arc.

care about...

Does she dare to care?
In Lao Qian's house, Mrs. Qian is the sky, and she is the mud on the ground.

If Mrs. Qian doesn't find fault with her, she will be grateful.

"Baby girl..." Seeing that Shen Zhimei didn't answer, Qian Xingwang called softly.

"I see." Shen Zhimei nodded helplessly.

Seeing Shen Zhimei nodding, Qian Xingwang's frown was obviously loosened.

The big girls who were pulling grass in another field saw Shen Zhimei and Qian Xingwang, and happily ran over with a basket.

"Father, mother."

The two little girls called out in unison.

"Hey!" Shen Zhimei forced a smile.

Qian Xingwang smiled and took the basket from Da Ya Erya's hand, and carried it in his own hand.

The family of four walked home talking and laughing.

"Mom, why is there smoke coming out of our house? Could it be somewhere?" Da Ya suddenly pointed in the direction of Lao Qian's house, and said in a panic.

Shen Zhimei and Qian Xingwang looked up and were also surprised.

In the past few years, although Xie Xiaofen loved to be lazy, she sometimes found excuses for backaches to ask Shen Zhimei to help with cooking, but most of the time she still cooks, washes dishes, and does housework.

But after Shen Zhimei gave birth to Erya, her belly stopped moving.

Over time, Mrs. Qian saw that Shen Zhimei was either picking her nose or eyes.

Xie Xiaofen made an excuse to take care of Qian Dabao, and the housework such as cooking and cleaning the house gradually fell on Shen Zhimei.

Others can rest after work, but Shen Zhimei has to cook, wash dishes, and clean the house when she returns home...

After she washed the clothes she had changed the day before, fed the chickens, and the horn for work began to sound again.

Especially in the past two years, when the two girls grew up, collecting firewood, digging wild vegetables, sweeping the floor, and feeding the chickens, almost all the housework fell on the three of them.

The family of four ran home in a hurry.

Qian Zhizhi, who was heading to the main room with a plate of delicious twice-cooked pork, saw Shen Zhimei's family come back, and said with a smile: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, eldest sister, second sister, hurry up and eat."

Shen Zhimei frowned, feeling that nothing good happened.

Da Ya and Er Ya were also taken aback.

"Good!" Qian Xingwang smiled and put down his basket and hoe, and went to the well to wash his hands.

"Why are you still standing there stupidly, don't you know you're hungry?" Qian Xingwang, who was full of smiles when he heard no movement behind him, turned his head to look at his wife and daughter.

Shen Zhimei put down her hoe, tried her best to smile, and signaled the big girls to wash their hands and eat.

As soon as the few people came to the table, a pot of oily braised pork was brought up again.

The bright red fat was piled tremblingly in the enamel basin, exuding a tempting aroma.

Picking up his chopsticks, Qian Dabao stuffed two pieces of braised pork into his mouth, and began to eat with mouthfuls.

Big Ya and Er Ya couldn't help swallowing, but they didn't dare to touch the chopsticks in front of them.

Xie Xiaofen and Qian Xingsheng looked at the braised pork in the pot and swallowed hard.

"Eat! Why are you still standing in a daze!" Mrs. Qian walked in with a big bowl of white rice smiling.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaofen hurriedly stepped forward to take the rice bowl, "My mother hasn't served the table yet, how can us juniors eat first!"

The old lady Qian sat on the main seat with satisfaction.

Shen Zhimei looked at the big table of dishes in front of her and panicked for no reason.

When a bowl of white rice was placed in front of her, Shen Zhimei panicked completely.

"From the second family, you should eat more. You've lost weight. You have to take good care of your body so that you can flourish for our old Qian's family!" Mrs. Qian smiled and took a piece of braised pork to Shen Zhimei. bowl.

While speaking, he continued to put a few pieces into Shen Zhimei's bowl.

Xie Xiaofen and Qian Xingsheng secretly looked at each other and exchanged winks.

Outsiders don't know what old lady Qian's attitude towards Shen Zhimei is, but her own family still doesn't know.

The old lady Qian made such a fuss today, so she specified that there was nothing wrong with holding back.

Adhering to the mentality that if you don’t eat for nothing, you can eat for nothing, Xie Xiaofen and Qian Xingsheng eat double-cooked pork and braised pork in one meal.

Shen Zhimei looked at the braised pork in the bowl, and was so flustered that she couldn't even hold her chopsticks steady.

Seeing that Shen Zhimei bowed her head and said nothing, the old lady Qian said again: "Second brother, you see that your sister-in-law is growing up, and it's time to say kiss. I asked your uncle to help find cotton two years ago, and I'm ready Make two beds of cotton wool for your sister-in-law as a dowry, and sew a new jacket..."

Shen Zhimei shook her hand.

The old lady Qian coughed lightly, and then continued: "But the cotton harvest in the past two years has not been good, and your uncle can't do anything about it. Mother thought, didn't your mother give you two beds of cotton wool, you should borrow those two beds first. Give your sister-in-law an emergency, when the cotton harvest is ready next year..."

"Mom, you can do whatever you want, but I can't give you the two beds of cotton wool and cotton." Shen Zhimei put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"I've already said, I'll pay you back next year. What else do you want? Don't be shameless." Old Madam Qian slapped her chopsticks on the table and said angrily.

The loud noise made everyone tremble in fright.

"Mother, why don't you give me the two beds of cotton wool that Mother gave..." Qian Xingwang glanced at the angry old lady Qian, frowned and whispered.

"It wasn't from my mother, it was from my little sister." Shen Zhimei interrupted Qian Xingwang directly.

"You also know my little sister's body. She is sick for 360 days in [-] days a year, and she drinks bitter medicine soup every three days. She drags her sick body and writes articles to earn money. Pointing the manuscript fee, and still thinking about my elder sister and her two nieces, you said, if I give away these two beds of cotton wool and cotton, am I still human?"

Shen Zhimei's eyes were red when she said that.

"Don't tell me so much, today you either take out the cotton wool, or get out of our old Qian's house with your cotton wool and your two losers." The former old lady said with a gloomy face and gritted her teeth.
