The next morning, Mrs. Shen got up early and sat at the dinner table as usual, waiting for her daughters-in-law to set out bowls for dinner.
Ms. Li called out "Mom" with a tired look, sat down and took a glass of water from the teapot. She frowned as soon as she took a sip, "Why is it cold?"
Mrs. Gao also came out yawning, "Does the breakfast look good?"
There was no one to cook last night, so she ate some delicious food that she usually hid, but she was starving to death.
"Go to the kitchen and hurry up. It's so slow." Old Mrs. Shen said dissatisfied.
Mr. Gao liked to do this kind of thing the most, so he just twisted his waist and went.
When I got to the kitchen, I was dumbfounded. The pots and stoves were all cold, and no one was lighting the fire for cooking.
"Mother!" Mrs. Gao immediately started howling at the top of her voice.
"It's so early in the morning, I'm screaming." Old Mrs. Shen cursed and walked to the kitchen.
"Mom, look, no one is cooking." Mrs. Gao couldn't help complaining.
Mrs. Shen's face sank, she walked to the yard, looked at the closed doors of the second and third bedrooms, and began to curse at the top of her voice.
"It's just bad luck. If you don't get up early in the morning to cook, you'll be lying dead on the bed."
"Why are you still waiting for me to cook and serve you? Go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams."
"Please come out and cook for me. I have never seen such a lazy daughter-in-law in this village."
...The scoldings got worse and worse after that. Mrs. Zhou, who had always been the most honest and diligent, listened silently in the room, looking at her daughter who still hadn't woken up, motionless.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't listen anymore in the room, so she opened the door and came out with a sneer, "You have two good wives standing next to you. If you want to eat, let them cook for you."
"Ms. Zhou, you are dead, why don't you get out!" Mrs. Shen continued.
"Da Ya is still unconscious. Let her cook for you. Don't worry about forcing someone to put a packet of rat poison in the rice and go to see the King of Hell together." Zhang said sarcastically.
Mrs. Li's eyes flashed, and she pulled Old Mrs. Shen, "Forget it, mother, I'll do it."
After all, Mrs. Shen felt guilty and left cursing.
Shen Xingwan gently opened the door, stuck his head out from the crack of the door, and looked at Mrs. Zhang with admiration, "Mom, you are so amazing!"
She finally saw that Mrs. Shen didn't dare to have a direct conflict with the second roommate.
"That's because she's in the wrong!" Ms. Zhang said cheerfully, "Don't worry, my mother will definitely find a way to separate the family and prevent you from being tortured by her."
Shen Xingwan nodded happily.
"Your father went out to get food. I came to see your injury." Mrs. Zhang came over and touched her head.
Looking at her red face, I always felt that something was wrong, so I touched her forehead again and said, "You have a fever."
"Is there any?" Shen Xingwan touched his head with his little hand, and it seemed to be a little warm.
Mrs. Zhang worriedly pushed her into the house and checked the injury on her shoulder. Fortunately, there was no sign of suppuration or inflammation.
"When your father comes back, I'll ask him to go to town to get some medicine for you." Ms. Zhang's eyes were full of heartache, and she fell ill just two days after she came back.
Shen Xingwan rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, can I go to the town with dad to have a look."
She hasn't gone out to watch it properly yet. She has been either locked in her room all day or watching the Shen family's drama.
You have to do some on-the-spot investigation before you know what to decide.
She was not going to listen to what the system said, but she still had to build a career and earn money.
"Do you want to visit the town?" Ms. Zhang asked.
Shen Xingwan nodded fiercely, "I promise to be obedient and I'm just going for a walk."
"Then when your father comes back, I'll talk to him."
Mrs. Zhang brought over the hot water she had heated up early and asked Shen Xingwan and Banxia to wash up.
As soon as they finished packing, Shen Xiaoguo ran over and said, "Mom, who else is there? Dad asked you to come over for breakfast."
Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at him, "My sister can't bark?"
"Hey, I'm not used to this..."
Mrs. Zhang held Shen Xingwan's hand, and Banxia followed beside her directly to the room where they lived.
Shen Xingwan stepped in and took a quick look. There were tables, benches, and a few cabinets. It was generally very shabby, but it was larger than the one she lived in.
There are several green things on the table. If you look closely, they are wrapped in several large leaves.
Shen Xingwan could already smell a hint of fragrance on the tip of his nose, and his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
"Wake up Wanwan, dad brought you something delicious."
Shen Tang quickly opened the door, revealing more than ten bamboo tubes inside.
"It's bamboo tube rice!" Shen Xiaoguo immediately clapped his hands and jumped up happily.
Shen Tang skillfully opened the lid of the bamboo tube and placed it in front of Shen Xingwan, "Do you want to try it?"
Shen Xingwan scooped out a spoonful of rice with the spoon that Mrs. Zhang handed her. The rice was soaked in oil and was shiny. Inside, you could see finely chopped meat and green vegetable leaves.
Shen Xingwan took a big bite, and his mouth was filled with fragrance. It was indeed original food and tasted great.
"It's delicious." Shen Xingwan said with a bulging mouth.
Shen Tang immediately smiled, as he went out to get something to eat before dawn.
Mrs. Zhang even took out a casserole from the basket on Shen Xingwan's surprised eyes, and poured a bowl of soup with them.
Shen Xingwan took a sip. It was fresh mushroom and chicken soup.
Sure enough, Shen Tang is not a simple person. He must have his own way to get these food so skillfully so early in the morning.
Shen Xingwan somewhat likes this cheap father, who has his own opinions and brains. If she were to have a father like Shen Ming who is a mother's boy but cowardly, it would be like crying without tears.
After all, Shen Xingwan had a small appetite. He ate one of two large bamboo tubes of rice and a bowl of soup and was full.
Shen Xiaoguo ate two tubes by himself, unable to look away from Shen Xingwan's remaining bamboo tube rice.
Shen Xingwan looked at her funny, "Want to eat?"
Shen Xiaoguo swallowed worthlessly, looked at her with bright eyes like a puppy and nodded.
Shen Xingwan reached out and touched his dog's head, "I'll let you eat if you call me sister."
Of course, you have to start from an early age to exploit the heroine's corner. You have to catch the general brother and other things in your own hands.
"Sister!" Shen Xiaoguo almost gave in in front of the food.
Shen Xingwan responded with a smile and pushed the remaining rice in the bamboo tube to him, "Eat it."
Zhang and Shen Tang happily watched the interaction between the two, and by the way, they told Shen Xingwan that she was a little feverish and wanted to go to town with him.
"Want to go to town tonight?"
"Well, I want to go shopping." Shen Xingwan looked at him expectantly.
"Today the ox cart in the village is taking people to the town, so wear thick clothes and dad will take you to make the ox cart." Shen Tang agreed happily.
"Panxia will go too." Shen Xingwan continued.
I went to town today to deal with the problem of Banxia. In the situation of the Shen family, with Banxia staying here as a maid, problems will arise sooner or later.
"Okay." Shen Tang agreed happily. He had also noticed in the past two days that Shen Xingwan was soft and waxy, but he had an idea inside.
