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

Jiang also raised her glass and said to Dong with a smile, "To bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, we wish Master Xu a prosperous new year."

"Thank you for your kind words, thank you for your kind words!" Mrs. Dong laughed happily.

Shen Ping also smiled and said, "I wish Madam Xu three happy events in the coming year."

"Oh?"

"What three joys?" Dong wondered.

"Passing the imperial examination, the wedding night, the gift of a child by Guanyin - all are in your home." Shen Ping said, and then looked at Mo Ru, her face full of intriguing expression.

Mo Ru also understood what Shen Ping meant and her face immediately turned red.

Xu Hao looked at Mo Ru's shy face. Even though she was pregnant, she exuded the radiance of maternal love. He couldn't help but smile.

Such a good girl, I almost lost her, I must cherish her.

“Oh~hahaha…”

Seeing the two of them, Mrs. Dong suddenly realized what was going on and laughed, "Yes, I'll borrow your good words. I'll definitely treat you to a drink when the time comes."

Hong Gu asked the servants to stand up, raised her glasses and said to Shen Ping: "Madam, we toast to you. You are our benefactor. If you hadn't bought us back, we wouldn't know where we are now!"

"Yes!" the servants said in unison, "We toast to Madam and wish her good health and a long life."

"Okay, thank you everyone! Follow me, as long as I eat, you will eat too!" Shen Ping also stood up, raised his glass and drank it all.

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses.

Wuchun and Xufeng and several other kids sat at the same table. The two of them were like enemies, bickering from time to time. Erya sat between them and had to mediate from time to time.

Si Ya was so annoyed that she simply squeezed over to the table with Wen and the others, holding her bowl.

Seeing Si Ya coming over, Shen Ping frowned and said, "Si Ya, why are you here? Didn't I ask you and Second Sister to look after your younger brothers and sisters?"

"Mom, Xu Feng and Wu Chun are always quarreling, it's so annoying!" Si Ya pouted.

Mrs. Dong said embarrassedly: "Xu Feng is a child who doesn't listen to advice. Madam Shen, I really cause trouble for you."

Shen Ping laughed: "No, it's more fun when there are more people! They are just kids. They miss each other when they are not together, but quarrel when they meet. They are always like this."

"I think they must have been enemies in their previous life, fighting each other every day." Si Ya said with a roll of her eyes and a pout.

Shen Ping quickly scolded, "Si Ya, you are not a child anymore, how can you talk like that in front of guests!

"It doesn't matter

Seeing how clever and smart Si Ya was, her straightforward personality and simple-minded, Mrs. Dong suddenly had an idea and started to make a plan.

My nephew from my mother's side is just 17 years old this year. He hasn't married yet. He is a little introverted and only focuses on studying. Now I think Si Ya is a good match.

He immediately asked, "Madam Shen, how old is Si Ya this year?"

"It will be sixteen after the New Year." Shen Ping had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized whether Dong had some ideas and looked at her curiously.

"Hmm~"

Dong's lips curled up, she nodded secretly, looked at Shen Ping and said, "Madam Shen, Si Ya has passed the age of marriage, is there a suitable family for her?"

"Not yet. From what Madam Xu said, do you have a suitable candidate?" Shen Ping immediately became excited. It would be good if Madam Xu could introduce a good family to Si Ya."

"Mom, I won't marry!"

When Si Ya saw that they had brought the topic back to herself, her face turned slightly hot and she immediately took her bowl and sat back next to Er Ya.

Seeing Si Ya leave the table, Dong thought she was just embarrassed and said with a smile, "I have a candidate. He is my nephew from my mother's side. He is 17 years old this year, about the same age as Xu Hao. He is a good match for Si Ya. He is a student and will take the provincial examination in February next year."

"Oh? Tell me about it~" Shen Ping became even more excited, and started to discuss it carefully with Dong, and they laughed heartily from time to time.

For some reason, the silly face of Shi Saner appeared in front of Si Ya's eyes again, and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily. When she didn't know him at first, she thought he looked fierce.

After getting to know him for a long time, I feel that he is a big fool. I bully him from time to time, but he is always very nice to me and never complains to me.

The reunion dinner lasted nearly an hour. At the end, Shen Ping gave red envelopes to everyone, 50 cents each for the kids.

Shen Ping gave 100 coins to each of the others and the servants. As for the old couple Zhang Tiezhu, Shen Ping gave each of them a red envelope containing one or two taels of silver.

Holding the heavy red envelope, Li took a peek and found that it was actually one or two taels of silver. Her eyes widened immediately.

This one or two taels of silver is enough to cover their expenses for nearly half a year. I didn’t expect the second house to be so generous.

Li thought that Shen Ping had given red envelopes to so many people, and she didn't know how much she had given to the servants. Was it the same amount as hers?

Thinking of this, Li felt a pang of pain and cursed Shen Ping in her heart for being a spendthrift.

By the time everyone finished eating, it was almost dark. Some dishes were not finished, so Shen Ping asked the people in the old house to take them back.

I didn't expect that I could not only come to the second room to have a reunion dinner, but also receive a New Year's red envelope, and there are so many dishes to pack up and take home. The first and third rooms were grinning from ear to ear.

Zhang Daniu and Zhang Sanniu had drunk a little wine at this time, and they became even more proud and started humming a little tune.

Zhang Tiezhu and his wife straightened their backs even more. Now that the second branch has earned money, it is a confidence for them. Now no one in the village dares to look down on them.

Of course, Shen Ping did this not only because they were her in-laws, but more because they were her right-hand men at work and could really help her with things.

You can gain their gratitude by showing them a little favor, which can not only make them help you work seriously without causing trouble, but also earn you a good reputation.

On the first day of the New Year, everyone stayed at home and did not go out. They gathered in the kitchen and were busy making rice dumplings, fried oil cakes, fried sesame balls, and sugar rings.

These things are necessary for the Chinese New Year. You have to bring them with you when visiting relatives on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

In order to let Dong feel this, Shen Ping specially pulled her over, and they had fun together, creating a lively atmosphere.

It was also the first time for Mrs. Dong to celebrate such a lively New Year. Her mother-in-law had passed away a long time ago, and Xu Hao was the only son in the family, so the New Year celebrations were usually deserted.

These things prepared for the New Year are usually prepared by the old woman in the kitchen. Dong never knew that oil-fried glutinous rice cakes were made in this way.

Unexpectedly, this year's New Year was celebrated in such a lively atmosphere. Although it was at someone else's house, Dong was able to feel the strong New Year atmosphere.

Dong rubbed the sesame balls in her hand, sprinkled some sesame seeds on them and put them aside. After a while, Cuihong put them in the pan to fry.

Dong thought the sesame balls she made herself were especially delicious. She said to Shen Ping sincerely, "Thank you so much, Madam Shen.

I have never had such a happy New Year as this year. It is really lively here, like a big family."

Shen Ping said meaningfully: "It is indeed more lively to have children at home. Don't worry, your home will also be very lively during the New Year next year. I will personally visit you in the capital city at that time."

"Haha, then I'll take your advice..." The two smiled at each other.

At this moment, Mrs. Dong wanted her son to marry Mo Ru more than ever. Mo Ru was a good girl, and marrying her would be the right choice.
