The Shen family all went home angrily, and even made them very angry when they went back to the countryside to pay New Year greetings.
"Mom, just pretend you didn't hear their nonsense. Anyway, my eldest sister's life is better now than in the Zhou family. We live our lives by ourselves. No matter how much others say, it won't have any impact."
Jiang Miao could see clearly that in modern times, all seven aunts and eight aunts would talk about divorce behind their backs, let alone ancient times. In their eyes, divorce was a very unfilial thing. Not only did the Shen family not stop Shen Yingxue, but they also brought When I go out to pay New Year's greetings with her, she looks strange no matter what.
"Well, what Miao Ya is saying is that there is no need for me to be angry with them. My family is full of shit and ruin, and I still have the time to bother others. I really have enough to eat and have nothing to do!"
Mrs. Zhang was persuaded by Jiang Miao and cursed a few more times before giving up. She saw Shen Yingxue who was silent beside her and spoke.
"You have a tougher temper. You can talk to anyone and don't know how to refute."
Shen Yingxue has a soft temper and is careless. She didn't show it when she was at her parents' house, but when she left the house, she found that she couldn't stand the trouble.
"Mom, I know..."
"Hey, no matter how much you talk, you know that you will still be bullied next time." Mrs. Zhang hates that iron cannot become steel.
"What are your plans for the future? You are young and good-looking, but you have a spirit girl. If you want to get married again, you can't find an old one. It's okay to marry someone older. If you want to get married, wait until the first month of the month. Let the matchmaker come to your door..."
"Mom, I don't want to get married!"
Shen Yingxue suddenly raised her head and said with firm eyes.
"Are you still thinking about Zhou Shui'an?" Mrs. Zhang's face darkened when she thought of this.
"No, mother, I have given up on him a long time ago." Shen Yingxue was afraid that her mother would misunderstand, so she quickly retorted.
"I just don't want to get married again. No matter how good I was before the marriage, my heart changed immediately after the marriage. As Ling'er's biological father, Zhou Shui'an could let her be seriously ill and ignore her. How could the remarried stepfather treat her sincerely... Mom, I just want to live a quiet life. You also know my temper. If I meet a stronger mother-in-law, I will wait for others to bully me."
Shen Yingxue smiled bitterly. She had no idea about getting married now.
"Hey," Mrs. Zhang sighed.
"What you say makes sense, but it's not a problem for you, a woman, to have a young man at home without a man to help you. Besides, how long can your father and I live? Who will protect you when we are gone? "
Mrs. Zhang felt a little sad. She looked at Shen Yingxue with distressed eyes, wondering why her daughter had such a miserable life and married a heartless man.
Shen Yingxue held her hand and snuggled into her arms, just like before she got married.
"I'm thinking that if I save some more money, I can buy a small house and move out with Ling'er, and then set up a female household. With the support of my parents and a few brothers, I will survive."
Others did not expect that Shen Yingxue, who was usually soft and weak, would have such courage. In this era, anyone who dared to set up a female household would have to be stabbed in the back. After hearing her plan, Mrs. Zhang felt even more sorry for her.
"Obviously your brothers are living well, why is it so difficult to come to your place!"
"That's because my mother is good to my sisters-in-law, and my brother doesn't have any extra trouble..."
It is true that the men in the Shen family are all honest and reliable. Although Mrs. Zhang is a bit strong, she does not try to challenge her daughter-in-law, which is why she wins over most people.
"Sister, are you willing to start a snack business?" Jiang Miao admired her courage. If she left the Shen family, she would have to make the same choice as Shen Yingxue. Jiang Miao saw his own shadow in her, and she also had other thoughts in her heart. idea.
"Miaoya, what's the business?"
Shen Yingxue didn't understand Jiang Miao's words. She had been helping Jiang Miao make snacks.
"Well, I'm just asking if you would like to take over the dim sum shop. In the future, you will not only make it but also be responsible for selling it."
Shen Yingxue rarely went out since the divorce and mostly stayed at home. Jiang Miao was not sure whether she dared to show up in public and interact with people. Sure enough, after she asked, Shen Yingxue hesitated.
"I can make snacks in the kitchen, but I don't have any experience in business. I'm afraid I won't be able to do this..."
"It's not difficult to do business. You'll be able to do it if you get in touch with it more. When I pass the imperial examination, I may have to follow him to Beijing. I don't feel comfortable leaving the shop at home to others. It's better to let my sister run it. You and Ling'er also have it. Ability to settle down and make a living."
Jiang Miao had never worried that Shen Yanqing would fail the exam. She had saved up money for half a year just to buy a house and shop in the capital. She had never seen the prosperity of the ancient capital.
Shen Yingxue was moved by her words. If she could really run a shop, she and Linger would be confident in their lives.
"Then let me try?"
"Okay, when the door opens, sister and I will go to the shop and learn for two days and we will become familiar with it."
"Then Mia Ya is gone, do we still need to make snacks?" Although Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xu were not upset with Jiang Miao for handing over the shop to Shen Yingxue, after all, the two of them were already pitiful enough, and the Shen family also had a shop nearby. rest assured.
However, if the shop is handed over, they will not be able to continue making dim sum, and the loss of their source of income will have an impact on them.
"We must continue to do it. Sister can't handle it alone. Then everything will be as usual as it is now."
"That's okay, that's okay."
Others have no opinions. Now not only Shen Yingxue's future has been planned, Jiang Miao's future has also been planned.
When Shen Yanqing heard that she was going to the capital, his eyes lit up. He was now looking forward to taking the exam as soon as possible, passing the exam and taking Jiang Miao to the capital as soon as possible.
"Mom, Miaoya, I'm going to study."
"Go ahead." Mrs. Zhang felt proud when she saw his progress in studying. "I will make some pigeon soup for my third son later to replenish his energy. He will not forget to study during the Chinese New Year."
The pigeon is domesticated, the meat is fragrant and tender, and the stew soup is the most filling.
The hot pot that the Shen family had yesterday was a change of flavor today, and the pile of New Year's goods bought by Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing came in handy.
She decided to cook a few hard dishes. She usually ate home-cooked dishes, and only those with big fish and meat would feel like celebrating the New Year.
Braised pork elbow, steamed carp, steamed pork with rice flour, chestnut chicken nuggets, braised pork, etc., a big table was laid out. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang and others were helping. She was only responsible for frying. Otherwise, just cooking this big table would cost everyone else. worn out.
But when she saw the food on the table, she felt satisfied in her heart, and her appetite was satisfied just by looking at the big fish and meat.
The Shen family was full of satisfaction, and Shen Erlang was so full that his stomach was bulging.
"It would be great if every day was Chinese New Year."
"It's a beautiful thought. I only care about eating all day long. Why don't I see you paying so much attention to studying..." Mrs. Zhang over there laughed and scolded, and there was an atmosphere of joy on the dining table.
Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing across from each other looked at each other and smiled, their hands tightly clasped together under the table.
