After hearing what Mrs. Shen said, several children were afraid to use it. They only knew that this thing was good, but didn't know it was so expensive. They used it before without knowing its value, but now that they knew its value, they dared not use it again.

Shen Lianxin was speechless. "This is not valuable. I met a businessman from Southeast Asia. He said he had an urgent matter at home and had to go back in a hurry. He had too many goods that he didn't sell, so he gave it to me at cost price. It's very cheap, so you can use it without worry. I still have all of them."

Shen Lianxin thought about it and realized that this soap was valuable, so it seemed like a good business. She just happened to know how to make it. She was bored at home before, so she made her own soap and cakes. She continued, "The Nanyang man said he wouldn't come here for a long time, so he sold me the soap formula. I can still make it later, so you can use it boldly."

After hearing what Shen Lianxin said, the children happily rubbed bubbles again. Old Mrs. Shen was simple-minded and believed it. While rubbing bubbles, she said happily, "This is really clean."

After washing her hands, Shen Lianxin gave the bench to Old Lady Shen to sit on. There were not enough benches in her house, so only she and Xiaozhen sat on the benches during meals. The three boys either had to squat while eating or sit directly on the ground.

"There's not even a bench. Ask your brother to go up the mountain and chop two pieces of wood tomorrow and make a wooden stool for us to sit on." Old Mrs. Shen looked down on Shen Lianxin, but she felt sorry for her because she didn't even have a stool.

Shen Lianxin put some meat into the old lady's bowl and said, "Mom, I asked Carpenter Li to make it. It will be ready in less than two days."

When Old Lady Shen saw Shen Lianxin picking up some meat for her, she wanted to say she didn't want to eat it and give it to the children. Then she saw that each of the children put several pieces of meat into their bowls and ate them with their mouths full of oil. She also looked at the white rice in the bowl, thinking that her family couldn't even have a meal during the New Year. Suddenly, she felt sad and tears fell down.

Shen Lianxin was confused. What happened? Was the meat not tasty? Shen Lianxin quickly went to get a towel to wipe the old lady's tears. "What happened? Why are you crying while eating?"

The children were also confused and didn't dare to move for a while when they looked at Old Lady Shen.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about you and my grandchildren all the time. Today, I saw that you all had meat to eat, and that you ate better than anyone else, and you also had new clothes to wear. I finally felt relieved."

Shen Lianxin didn't quite understand her feelings for a moment, so she could only comfort her, "Stop crying, the food will get cold soon." She quickly put some more meat, eggs and persimmons into the old lady's bowl.

Old Mrs. Shen broke into a smile, "You heartless man, do you want to shut me up with food? Eat, eat quickly. Don't let it get cold." The old lady called on her grandchildren to eat quickly.

Shen Lianxin was also hungry. While eating with big mouthfuls, she did not forget to remind the children, "Don't just eat meat, you have to eat the vegetables too. Only by combining meat and vegetables can you have a balanced nutrition." The children reluctantly picked up a few pieces of vegetables with their chopsticks. In fact, the vegetables were also delicious, but the meat was more delicious.

Shen Lianxin didn't say much. This is because she didn't eat enough meat. Nowadays, vegetables are more expensive than meat. There is no shortage of oil and water. People can't eat meat and prefer vegetables. She should just eat more meat in the future.

The food cooked by Shen Lianxin was swept away in a flash. Several children wiped their mouths with satisfaction, "The food cooked by mother is really delicious."

"The food my mother cooks is the most delicious in the world."

"I want to eat the food my mother cooks every day."

They ate it all, and their mouths were as sweet as honey. Shen Lianxin was satisfied. Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan stood up to wash the dishes, but Shen Lianxin stopped them, "You two are injured today, take a rest, I'll wash it."

Gu Chengan shouted happily, "Mom, you are so kind."

Gu Chengxin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking, Mother didn't say a word to them alone when she came back, and he wondered if she was angry with them for causing trouble. Now that he heard that Mother cared about them, he felt very happy in his heart that Mother didn't hate him.

Shen Lianxin didn't notice Gu Chengxin's thoughts. She picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen to wash it. Old Mrs. Shen came over to help. "Mom, you don't need to help. Just take a rest."

Old Madam Shen snatched it away, "I didn't do any work, and I didn't cook the meal, so why should I take a break? But you, you just came back from the city, beat people and cooked, you should go and take a break."

Shen Lianxin was embarrassed. This old lady was trying to make fun of her. She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, do you think I was good today? Did I fight well?"

Old Madam Shen was stunned. She didn't expect Shen Lianxin to be so arrogant to her. Her eyes rolled and she laughed. "Well said! You hit me well! I am as powerful as your mother. You have to be more aggressive like me, otherwise you will be bullied."

Why did you end up praising yourself while you were praising yourself?

Shen Lianxin was really a little tired, "Mom, can you clean up for me? I want to go into the house and rest for a while?"

Old Madam Shen chased them out, "Hurry up and leave. You're in the way and delaying my work."

Shen Lianxin went back to the house with a smile, and bought two more bars of soap from the space mall, and a 10-jin bag of rice. She then unpacked the rice and put it in a cloth bag. After Old Lady Shen finished cleaning the kitchen, she handed the bag over and said, "Mom, take this back with you."

When Old Lady Shen opened it, she saw that it was all white rice, the same as what she had eaten at Shen Lianxin's house today. She quickly pushed it back and said, "I don't want it. I have food at home. I have four children to feed. Why do I need your food? Such good food at that."

Shen Lianxin had no choice but to pull the old lady into the kitchen and open the rice jar, which was full of white rice. The old lady was so shocked that her eyes widened.

Shen Lianxin closed the rice jar and said, "Mom, you see, I picked a Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains and sold it for a lot of silver and rice. You can take it back and give my nephews something good to eat. But don't tell anyone else."

The old lady had never seen such a large jar of white rice in her life. Before she could recover from the shock, she heard someone tell her not to tell anyone. "Yes, yes, yes, you can't let anyone know about this, Fourth Girl, don't let anyone know about this, or else it will attract thieves."

Shen Lianxin nodded, "Yes, yes, mother is right, so you should take the rice and leave quickly, and don't let anyone see you on the road." She stuffed two bars of soap into the bag. "Use them when you go home to take a bath."

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes," and hurried home with the food.

Halfway through the journey, she came to her senses, wondering how she had taken so much refined rice from the fourth girl's house. The old lady stamped her feet and wanted to send it back, but then she thought, the fourth girl is capable now, and she saw the big jar of white rice, thinking that it would be a good thing to be filial to her, and she grinned at the thought, why should she be so entangled?

Her maid gave it to her, it wasn't stolen, so she should just go home happily. There's also this soap, it smells so good, after washing my hands, they are whiter and softer. She should take it back and show it to the two daughters-in-law who look down on her daughter-in-law.
