Chapter 177 She doesn’t know how to make dumplings
"Auntie, I will prepare new clothes for grandma." Shen Wanxue said and closed the door directly.
Back in the kitchen, Rongyue comforted her: "Don't be angry, it's not good for yourself!"
"I'm not angry, I just think they took me as a victim..."
"alright……"
When the woman reacted, the door had been closed, and she was immediately furious.
I thought I could get more than ten taels of silver today, which would make their life more comfortable this year. Who would have thought that this little girl would be so smart.
She must have been a little unwilling to not get the money. So, on the way back, she was thinking about how to get some money out of that girl's hand.
It's just that it's impossible today...
"Hey, you didn't catch anything...you came back empty-handed?" Shen Zhou was in a very good mood recently and wanted to show off to everyone.
Seeing that the old woman's daughter-in-law had returned from the north, she knew that she must be going there again to get something.
The woman looked at Shen Zhou and instinctively felt a little displeased and wanted to go around, but Shen Zhou stood in front of her reluctantly.
"Your mother-in-law didn't help them much at first.
Why, you are not willing to give you some money to spend now?
At that time, all their shabby houses had collapsed, leaving only one, leaving them with nowhere to stay... It was your mother-in-law who took them in.
Now they are not willing to spend any money. This is simply repaying kindness with hatred..."
"What do you want to do?" The woman was unhappy.
"I have a good idea. How about we discuss it?"
When the woman heard this, although she knew that Shen Zhou was not a good person, she immediately became interested when she thought of getting some money from Shen Wanxue.
"I'm telling you...they..."
The woman's eyes lit up after Shen Zhou's explanation.
"Is this really okay without causing any loss of life?"
"What's wrong? There's absolutely no problem with you listening to me. Those children value friendship.
If she knows this, she will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. She will give you whatever you want..."
"is that so?"
"Of course, although I am not a very good stepmother, I am their biological father. If I say I don't care, I won't care about it. This is simply unfilial...
If you do what I do, you will definitely get a lot of money. But you can share some with me when the time comes!"
When the woman heard Shen Zhou's words, she glanced at her lightly and responded casually.
"Okay, if it succeeds, I will definitely give you some and I won't treat you badly!"
"Um……"
Fried chicken nuggets, fried fish nuggets, made crispy pork... She even braised two chickens and some pig meat.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the family began to clean up the house from the inside out, and then began to post couplets.
At this moment, every household is busy celebrating the New Year. Although they have lost a lot this year, it does not affect their interest in celebrating the New Year.
Some window grilles are also pasted on the windows, which seems to have a feeling of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, hang up this lantern... People say that staying up late and staying up all year long means peace and safety, so this year we must stay up late..."
"Okay!"
A family is full of excitement.
There is a joyful feeling both inside and outside the house.
In the afternoon they made three large plates of dumplings.
Shen Wanxue didn't know how to make dumplings, and the dumplings she made were really ugly. Neither did Rong Yue, but Shen Yurong taught her step by step and made her make them look like that.
She was the only one who had learned it over and over again, but it still turned out very ugly.
"Okay, sister, stop doing it... What do you think your bag looks like? I want to laugh..."
"Auntie, dumplings..." Xiaobao held the dumpling in his hand and placed it in front of her. Shen Wanxue blushed looking at the dumplings she had made.
"I won't do it anymore, I'm so angry!"
"You go and play with Xiaobao!"
In desperation, she had no choice but to leave her place and take Xiaobao out to play.
In the evening, everyone had a big bowl of steaming dumplings.
It tastes so delicious...
"I'm full, I'm going to give grandma a bowl!" After she finished eating happily, she ran to the kitchen, filled out a large bowl of dumplings, and walked happily towards the village.
"How's it going?" the woman asked nervously.
"It's very hot! It should be fine!" At this moment, grandma's son and daughter-in-law were surrounding him, touching her forehead from time to time, only to feel that it was extremely hot.
But neither of them had any intention of asking a doctor.
The old man lying on the bed was already so burned that he didn't know where to go from east to west.
However, the woman quit, "If we want to get more money, we must be more ruthless..."
As she spoke, she immediately turned off the fire on the kang, opened the window and even lifted the quilt.
"Is something going to happen?" A cold wind blew into the house, taking away a lot of the warmth inside.
"It's okay, I can't die!" Faced with his wife's actions, the man just frowned and soon relaxed.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? I want to eat dumplings. It's Chinese New Year, and I want to eat dumplings..." An eight or nine-year-old boy poked his head and looked into the room.
"Ah, okay, Mom will do it for you right now!" The woman came out of the room nervously and took away her son.
"Mom, I'm sorry, it's not that my son is unfilial. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself.
You said that if you hadn't done that back then, we wouldn't have had anything happen outside. If we hadn't had something happen, this family would have had plenty of food and clothing...
I, it’s really hard for me. Can you forgive me?” The man murmured at the head of the bed, letting the cold wind blow in, and let the seriously ill mother lie there.
Shen Wanxue came to the door, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The woman who was busy in the kitchen was startled when she heard the sound of the door. She immediately put down the things in her hands, came to the door and asked cautiously.
"Who is it?"
"Auntie, it's me. It's Chinese New Year. I'm sending some dumplings to grandma..."
"Oh, Xiaoxue, okay, okay..." The woman hurried back to the old lady's room, closed the window and covered the old lady with a quilt, and then hurriedly opened the door.
Shen Wanxue could clearly hear the movement inside.
"Squeak!" The door opened and the woman looked at Shen Wanxue with a smile on her face, holding a package in one hand and a basket in the other.
"Quick, come in, I'm wrapping it up too."
Shen Wanxue nodded and walked towards grandma's house without saying a word.
