Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Zhang Family Mansion

It was dinner time, and the Zhang family mansion was bustling. Today was the New Year holiday, and Shen Ping had given New Year gifts to the servants at home, giving them the same treatment as the workers in the workshop.

Now, the servants all eat together and are managed by Hong Gu, who has nearly 20 servants.

Shen Ping gave them five catties of flour and five catties of rice every day, as well as vegetables and meat. It was like a dream for everyone, who had never dared to imagine that they would be treated so well after selling themselves as slaves.

Tonight is the New Year's Eve dinner, and the maids prepared the master's meal early. After doing all this, Shen Ping asked them to go back and prepare their own New Year's Eve dinner.

There were more than a dozen steaming dishes on the table, including braised pork, meatballs with three fresh ingredients, sweet and sour carp, braised platter, pig's trotters with peanuts, braised spareribs, salt-baked chicken, chicken stewed with mushrooms, black fungus and lean meat, Kung Pao chicken, tomato and egg soup, pork stewed with wild gourd, and stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Seeing so many dishes on the table, Mrs. Dong praised repeatedly: "Madam Shen, this dish is too rich."

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, you are joking. We don't have much food in our farm. We only have these wild snacks. Please make do with them. Come, let's eat."

"Mrs. Shen, you are so polite. I am sorry to bother you during my New Year holiday here." Mrs. Dong said with a polite smile.

Xu Feng was looking at the table full of dishes and was already itching to try some. His mouth was watering. He said to Dong and Xu Hao, "Godmother, the dishes cooked by Sister Cuihong and the others are delicious. You should try them quickly!" As Xu Feng spoke, he picked up the dishes impatiently.

Listening to Xu Feng's words, Mrs. Dong was a little disapproving. These dishes looked good, but she didn't know how they would taste.

Although Xu Feng said it was delicious, he was just a child after all, so what he said might not be true.

Unexpectedly, the dish stunned Dong as soon as it entered her mouth. Unexpectedly, Xu Feng was right, it was really delicious. I didn't expect that the cooking skills of this Shen's servant were so good.

"It's delicious, really good!" Dong gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of surprise.

Mo Ru's lips curled up when he heard this. He had long guessed that she would have such a reaction, just like when he first came here. Now he has become accustomed to it. However, he still couldn't help but admire it every time he ate it.

The other members of the Zhang family had long been accustomed to the Cuihong sisters' craftsmanship, and it was nothing special to them.

Only Shen Ping was laughing secretly. In fact, the biggest credit was due to her seasoning. She added so much soy sauce, oyster sauce and chicken essence. How could these dishes not taste good!

After a while, Dong leaned back in her chair, rubbing her belly with satisfaction, and said to Shen Ping, "Madam Shen, how many maids do you have who can cook? Why don't you sell one to me so I can take it back to the capital!"

Shen Ping smiled: "Madam Xu, you are joking. There is no need to buy any. All these maids can cook. If you like any of them, just tell me and I will let her go back with you."

Dong smiled and said, "A gentleman does not take away what others like. Although I am not a gentleman, I will not force others to do anything. I was just joking!"

After dinner and a short rest, Shen Ping arranged a room for Dong, in Wuchun's house, right next to the Xu Feng brothers.

After traveling for most of the day, Shen Ping was tired and asked Xu Feng to take her to take a shower and rest.

"Mom, I want to tell you something." Wen came over.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her serious face, Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat.

"I just went out and ran into Zhuzi's mother gossiping with Luo. I went over to listen out of curiosity. Do you know what I heard?" Wen looked mysterious.

Shen Ping widened her eyes: "Oh, I'm so anxious, just tell me, why are you keeping me in suspense!"

"I heard from Zhuzi's mother that Gao hid her 800-wen year-end bonus and was discovered by Liao. She made a scene at home and insisted that Gao give up the money."

I didn't expect that Gao, who usually looked timid and like a bullied wife, would dare to hide the wages.

Shen Ping could imagine how angry Liao was. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Gao. Gao probably had a hard time this year.

At this moment, Shen Ping suddenly thought of Sifeng again, and recalled that she had divided her two silver coins into two strings, one string of 200 coins and one string of 800 coins.

I don’t know if Sifeng would hide some of her wages. If she really did hide it and was discovered by my mother-in-law, then I would be indirectly harming her.

Her mother-in-law was not an easy person to deal with either, so Shen Ping became worried.

……

Back to Gudong, as the sky was getting completely dark and Gao hadn't returned yet, Gudong was completely panicked.

The two children were so worried that they couldn't eat because their mother didn't come back. This time he didn't report to his mother. He sneaked out of the house while Liao wasn't paying attention.

As soon as he went out, a gust of wind blew over him. Gu Dong shivered from the cold. He quickly pulled up his collar and put his hands into his sleeves.

It seems to be colder at night than during the day. I don’t know where my wife is at this time. It’s so cold and she doesn’t seem to be wearing many clothes.

But where is she hiding now? Gu Dong is so worried.

It is now the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year's Eve. The village is dark and silent. There is not much entertainment in the countryside. Many people have eaten, bathed and gone to bed. Only a few families still have dim oil lamps on.

Because he was in a hurry and didn't have a torch, Gu Dong didn't want to alarm others, so he walked around the village, calling Gao's name from time to time.

The Kaoshan Village is not big. I walked around it in less than half an hour, but I didn't see any people or even mice.

Gu Dong couldn't help feeling discouraged and returned home dejected.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my mother, Liao, sitting in the main room. The two children were not there, so I guess they had been sent to bed by their mother.

Seeing him come in, Liao looked behind him and was surprised to find that Gao did not follow him back.

Liao pursed her lips and sneered grimly, "I told you not to go out and look for her, but you didn't believe me! She might not even want to enter this house anymore.

Very good, this is your good daughter-in-law. After working outside for a while, her temper has become tougher. I think she wants to ride on my head, so why not let her be the head of the family? "Mrs. Liao became more and more excited as she spoke.

Gu Dong was already feeling annoyed, and when he came back and heard Liao's nagging, he immediately became furious: "Mom, can you just stop talking?

Now she doesn't know where she is. She will either starve to death or freeze to death if she stays outside in this cold weather. She is the mother of two children. If anything happens to her, won't we be murderers?" Gu Dong said, holding his head and sitting down.

Liao still refused to give in and sneered: "We didn't force her, can't she just be patient?

If she doesn't come back so late at night, who knows where she is staying with some wild man. This time she took the opportunity of quarreling with you to find an excuse to run away."

"Mom! Why did you say that?" Gu Dong was so angry that he was shaking all over. "If the kids heard it, what would they think?"

No matter what, he just couldn't believe that his wife would be such a person.
