Chapter 104 Hand over the child and the noodle shop

"Eat eat eat."

Fang Zhenshan no longer hesitated and stepped forward to receive the chopsticks he handed him.

Three pairs of chopsticks reached out to stir-fry ham with bamboo shoots in unison, and a burst of hearty laughter erupted from the small fenced courtyard.

"It seems that the tastes of the three of us are similar." Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

After saying that, he picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and stuffed it into his mouth. The bamboo shoot was crispy and mixed with the special aroma of ham. It was fragrant but not greasy, and very delicious.

"Your bamboo shoots are fried well. There is no astringency at all. It's delicious!"

“The crucian carp soup is also delicious, fresh and fragrant, and not fishy at all.”

"It seems that the stewed leaves are more delicious than mine. You are really good at it."

"Girl Shen, where do you live? When I have enough time here, I will move to your place!"

After finishing the meal, Zhang Xuan never stopped using his chopsticks or mouth.

As for the wine that I was going to drink, I completely forgot about it.

After the meal, Zhang Xuan removed the door panel of the pharmacy and used a bench to make a bed for Shen Qingqing.

Under the influence of the faint medicinal fragrance, Shen Qingqing quickly fell into sleep.

However, she didn't sleep well that night.

Having the same dream over and over again.

In the dream, Meng Qifeng pulled the corner of her clothes and cried one after another: "Mom, Feng'er doesn't want to leave."

"Mom, do you really don't want Feng'er?"

"Mom, Feng'er will be obedient, please don't send me away."

The pitiful cries made Shen Qingqing feel severe pain in her heart, and she finally woke up from her dream dripping with sweat.

My heart was still beating fast, and I was so frightened that I couldn't find peace.

She wiped the sticky sweat from her forehead, took out three copper coins with shaking hands and made a divination.

Sure enough, someone jumped out to cause trouble when she was not at home!

Her grandma dares to snatch her Shen Qingqing's child.

Don’t even look in the mirror first to see if you are worthy!

Shen Qingqing clenched her fists, wishing she could grow wings and fly home to tear the woman apart with her hands!

After sitting on the bed angrily for a while, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply put on her clothes and followed the path to the cave.

The moonlight passed through the lush branches and leaves and fell in front of the cave, outlining the smooth lines of the man's face like a pair of invisible hands.

At this time, he slept peacefully, as peacefully and beautifully as a sleeping beauty.

Shen Qingqing leaned forward slightly, stretched out her hand tentatively, tapped the tip of his nose, and murmured: "Please find some energy and wake up quickly."

No one responded to her, the wind gently caressed the treetops, and there was a slight rustling sound.

She breathed out gently and continued: "Even if we can't wake up, we must hold on. Something happened at home, and we must go back early."

"It's a long journey, and I may have to wrong you."

Hundred Bowl Noodles Shop in Stone Town.

It was opening time at noon, and the store was full of customers.

Mr. He and his four children were very busy collecting accounts and issuing signboards, and cooking noodles.

Fortunately, the people who come to eat noodles are all regular customers. They know the situation in the store and will not rush if they are slow.

While everyone was waiting in line, they were playing with Meng Qixue, and the laughter was very lively.

Suddenly, a thin, unkempt woman burst in.

"He Lingshuang, you old fool, get out of here!"

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she screamed with sharp curses that hurt people's eardrums.

Some guests couldn't stand her behavior and scolded her: "What's wrong with you, a woman? Why do you curse when you open your mouth? Be careful of your tongue!"

"What's wrong? Did you scold you?" The woman put her hands on her hips and scolded her even more viciously, "If I didn't scold you, then shut up and meddle in other people's business. Sooner or later, you will get violently ill and die on the streets!"

"Are you sick? Do you think you can talk like that?" The guest was very angry.

At this time, Mrs. He had heard the commotion and ran over in a hurry, stopped in front of the guest and said comfortingly: "I'm really sorry, this woman is not living a comfortable life at home, and she always likes to take it out on others. Just treat it like a dog barking.

, don’t take it to heart.”

The guest glared at the woman, but for He's sake he did not pursue the matter further.

After appeasing the guest, Mr. He turned around, his face immediately downcast, "Zhou Popi, what are you doing here? What's wrong? You've spent all the money you spent cheating Meng Yuan, and you want to fight against the autumn wind again?"

The visitor was none other than Meng Yuan's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhou.

Not long after she left the Meng family, she was packaged and sold by her mother's family to an old bachelor from the next village. When she first got married, she lived a good life for two months. After the freshness wore off, the old bachelor showed his true colors, drinking and gambling all day long.

If she loses money, she will be beaten up.

She later became pregnant twice, but she was aborted each time by her alcoholic husband. She never got pregnant again in the following years.

Some time ago, she secretly went to see a doctor. The doctor said that she had injured her body and might never be able to have children again.

She was frightened, and after much thought, she decided on Meng Qifeng.

After all, it is your own flesh and blood, which is more affectionate than adopting someone else's child.

When the time comes, she will find a way to persuade her husband to take Meng Qifeng back, which can be regarded as solving a major life event.

At first, she didn't dare to blatantly come over to snatch the child. After all, Meng Yuan was not a good person, and she might not get any benefits if she made him anxious.

As a result, she went to Yanghua Village and found out that Meng Yuan had died on the front line long ago. His newly married wife opened a noodle shop in the town and ran away after not working for long.

Now the noodle shop and the children are in the hands of that old lady He.

Mrs. Zhou became excited as soon as she heard the news. Both Meng Yuan and Meng Yuan's wife were gone, and everyone in the Meng family who could die had long since died. Logically speaking, the four children and the noodle shop should be left to her!

Although she remarried and the two children were adopted into Meng Yuan's name, she was the child's biological mother after all, and the blood relationship was unbreakable!

Why did that damn old woman of He's family steal her things?

With this idea in mind, she deliberately broke into the noodle shop at a time when she was most likely to be alone, and thus the scene where she was cursing just now happened.

Hearing Mrs. He scolding her, Mrs. Zhou straightened her back confidently, "What do you mean by cheating? I worked my butt off for the old Meng family and gave birth to two children. Isn't it natural for me to make some money?"

He sneered, "Yes, of course. Meng Yuan has already given you the money that should be given, and the accounts that should be settled have been settled long ago. What else do you want to do?"

"What do you think I want to do? Now that Meng Yuan is gone, his unreliable wife has run away again, leaving her four children unattended. As Meng Yuan's sister-in-law, I must step forward to clean up this mess at this time.

"

Mr. He laughed angrily at her high-sounding reason, "Why don't you just set up a memorial arch with my old lady here - pretend to be serious and clean up the mess? Aren't you the one who fell in love with these two stores?"

"Zhou Popi, you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. Qingqing didn't run away at all. She went south to find Meng Yuan. When she comes back and bumps into you, if you can still stand here and talk nicely, I will take your last name."

"Hey, who are you trying to scare? As long as you don't leave your child and noodle shop to me for a day, I'll be here scolding you for a day. I'll see if your business can continue!"

Zhou didn't believe her words at all, and was determined that Shen Qingqing had run away.

When a man dies, he leaves four oil bottles behind. If he doesn't run away, what's the point of staying here, other than to help others raise their children?

Haha, I can’t even make up a reliable reason.

very funny.

[Wish you all a happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Tiger!]
