Respect the little husband [farming]

The next day, Shen Wenxuan got up early, ate a coarse-grain steamed bun with the vegetables and eggplant fried by Mrs. Zhang, and drank a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

I didn't feel it when I was eating, but when Shen Wenxuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, he found that the three brothers of Zhang's family had green eyes when they were eating the vegetables in the basin.

Fortunately, Shen Wenxuan ate it in his own bowl, otherwise he might not be able to catch a bite.

"Mother, your cooking is really delicious today." The youngest son of the Shen family, Balabala vegetable soup, poured it into his bowl, and sincerely praised his mother's cooking skills.

Aunt Zhang patted him with a smile: "What you eat is not mother's handicraft, what you eat is the oil inside."

Shen Wenxuan gave her two earthenware pots of lard yesterday, which were very fragrant. If it weren't for the Shen family boy who was going to eat at her house these days, she would be reluctant to touch the oil, and would have to save it for the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Tiebao laughed a few times, and ate the last bit of porridge with the vegetable soup. He was the youngest in the family, and his two older brothers loved him, so they didn't rob him, and left the good things for him to eat more.

Shen Wenxuan sat aside and watched the family talking and laughing happily, and suddenly felt that this was very similar to his previous life.

Poverty, lively and warm.

Shen Wenxuan couldn't help laughing.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhang cleaned up the housework, and the three brothers went to Shen Wenxuan's house to repair the house with the person they had made an appointment with yesterday.

Shen Wenxuan's old house is really dilapidated like an old beggar who is dying, and many places need to be demolished and rebuilt.The foundation was not solid when it was first built, not to mention that it has been so many years, and the whole thing is more troublesome than building a few houses.

Fortunately, Shen Wenxuan didn't want to build a big tiled house with green bricks, otherwise it would definitely not be something that can be done in four or five days.

Shen Wenxuan touched his money bag and thought that he couldn't afford to build a big tile house, but the house the original owner's mother bought was a blue brick tile house, which was one of the best in Anhe Village, but was licked out by the original owner.

Sure enough, after licking the dog until the end, there was nothing left, the original owner is awesome.

Shen Wenxuan worked with Zhang Tieniu and the others, sawing wood and moving stones, transporting thatch to make mud, climbing up and down, busy left and right, and soon became exhausted to death.

Zhang Tieniu put down the burden on his shoulders, wiped the sweat towel around his neck, and looked worried at Shen Wenxuan's panting.

"Brother Shen, if you're tired, go and rest for a while, we're all busy, don't tire yourself out."

Shen Wenxuan also wiped off his sweat and told Zhang Tieniu to go first, leave him alone, for no reason they carried stones from the foot of the mountain to his house without shouting tired, and he, who had only carried a few bundles of wood, went to rest first.

He stood still for a while, his front and back were a little wet with sweat, and the ribs in front of his chest rose and fell with his breathing, which could be vaguely seen through his clothes. Shen Wenxuan looked down and scolded the original owner's body again in his heart. It's really TM waste.

He didn't stop at the spot for a long time before he put on his back a bundle of solid wood that was two-thirds of his height, and walked carefully down the half-height hillside with his breath.

Originally, the Zhang family had an ox cart, which was most convenient for transporting things, but the mountain road was rugged and narrow, and the ox cart was useless at all, so they had to carry it manually.

The other people didn't stop, and Shen Wenxuan didn't stop, working back and forth all the time. The other people felt ashamed to be lazy when they saw it, and worked hard.

At noon, Mrs. Zhang brought rice and soup. Shen Wenxuan specifically asked to make more, and it doesn't matter if the rest is not enough. If there is not enough food, it means that his boss is not kind.

This time, Mrs. Zhang made thick scallion pancakes, and wild vegetable soup specially made with wild vegetables fried in oil. The salt was also used enough, and the big men ate it with relish.

This dish is much better than the ones at home. Now it is not a busy season, and the family usually only prepares two meals, one soup in the morning, some dry rice in the afternoon if the conditions are good, and soup and some wild vegetables if the conditions are not good.

Shen Wenxuan sat in the shade and rested. His body might have been exhausted all of a sudden, so he didn't have much appetite. After resting for a while, Shen Wenxuan got up his spirits, tore up the cake and soaked it in the soup, and ate it.

After the meal, everyone tacitly rested for an hour before starting to do the work in the afternoon.

People from the village passed by here and couldn't help but look at it curiously. They were surprised to see that it was Shen Wenxuan who was repairing the house.

Didn't this kid from the Shen family just spend five taels of silver on a dark double?Where did he get the money to repair the house? Could it be that he got rich?

Anhe Village is not big, and everything spreads quickly, and almost the whole village knows about this nonsense.

Shen's family, Shen's father and Shen's mother had three sons and two daughters. Except for the eldest daughter who was sold, everyone else lived in a big tile house at the east end of the village.

Since Mrs. Xu sold that bitch, she has been treated a little better at home, and she no longer needs to be ridiculed by her tricky mother-in-law all day long.

This day I was dressing up in the room carefully, looking at the palm-sized bronze mirror in my hand and reaching out to touch it, three scratches on my face were slightly raised, from the side of the face to the corner of the mouth, and the longest one was at the corner of the mouth. The chin was really abrupt and ugly on her still pretty face.

Mrs. Xu touched it cautiously. She didn't dare to wash this half of her face when she washed her face these days, for fear of leaving scars. She still has a few bruises pinched by those old shrews that day, and it still hurts now.

The second son of the Shen family, her husband, saw that she was being beaten, but he still refused to say a word. He was really blind to marry him!

When Xu thought of this, she became angry. She fought all her life for the five taels of silver, but the old woman actually wanted her to take it out to read to her young son. She didn't even think about it!Where did such a big face come from? !Her son hasn't studied yet, and now she even wants to take away her son's wedding money, it's so partial!

Angrily covered her face with a veil and walked out of the room, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, Mrs. Wu, spat inwardly when she saw her, she was already very old, and it was not too shabby to engage in such ostentation.

Mrs. Wu has a big shoulder and round waist, her complexion looks old, and she has a lot of strength. She has always been at odds with Mrs. Xu.

"It's time to apply. Parents and their brothers are coming back soon. When are you cooking?" Mrs. Wu asked in a stiff tone while shaking the freshly washed clothes in her hands.

"Why should I cook?" Mrs. Xu was humiliated, and moved away from Mrs. Wu in disgust.

"Are you blind?! Can't see what I'm holding?" Mrs. Wu got angry when she heard her confident tone, "You don't have that young lady's life to pretend to be a young lady! Don't do any work and wait for someone else to come Serving you? It's a beautiful idea!"

Wu shook the clothes vigorously again, and said in a ferocious tone, "I've finished washing, you go to cook!"

Mrs. Xu is not easy to provoke, she rolled her eyes and said sharply: "I didn't let you do the laundry, are you willing to blame me? Besides, isn't there another idler in the room? You need to find someone Why don't you go to her for cooking?"

After speaking, he swayed left and right and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Wu was so angry that he kicked away the wooden basin at his feet, "If you don't cook, don't eat! Go hungry!"

Ever since the little white-eyed wolf was driven away at home, all the work at home has been pushed to her. Do you think she is easy to bully? !

There is also the sister-in-law in the room, who never works because of her mother-in-law's love, but embroiders in the room. After several years of embroidering, she has not seen a famous embroidery!

Mrs. Wu held her breath, but Mrs. Xu left, and she didn't dare to get angry with her sister-in-law, so she went back to the room angrily.

After wandering around the house for a long time, I couldn't lie down, and I couldn't sit still. After all, I felt sorry for my husband and son who couldn't eat when they came back, so I secretly went out to make something in the kitchen, and brought it back to the room.

Not far from Shen's house was a towering old willow tree. It was autumn, and the edges of the willow leaves were turning yellow.

There is a chessboard under the old willow tree, and many people gather there to chat at night, and there are also diligent village women who move a bench to sit on the soles of Nana's shoes after dinner.

"Did you see it? That kid Shen is building a house in the south of the village." The second aunt Shen, who is famous in the village with a broken mouth, said with great interest, "You think that kid Shen got so much money, didn't he just get married by his second son?" I'm stuck—"

"Cough cough."

Several village women saw Mrs. Xu coming, and hurriedly coughed a few times to remind Second Aunt Shen to stop talking.

Second Aunt Shen also saw Mrs. Xu, and murmured in a low voice, "What you did is ugly, so let's not let people talk about it."

Mrs. Xu heard it clearly, and was annoyed in her heart, but her thoughts were all on the fact that Shen Wenxuan actually built a house, and before she had time to argue with them, she turned a corner and rushed to the south of the village.

That white-eyed wolf actually built a house?Xu's heart was full of anger, his mother of broken shoes must have left him a lot of silver, and she asked for five taels of silver, which was less!

Avoiding the villagers, they hurried to the south of the village, just in time for Shen Wenxuan and the others to have dinner. Mrs. Zhang made a glossy pie with some white flour in it, and the pie for Shen Wenxuan was even more delicious. It is directly made of white flour, torn from the middle, and sprayed with fragrance.

Mrs. Xu stood watching from a distance, and swallowed when she smelled the smell. She only ate breakfast and hadn't eaten the afternoon meal yet. Turning around, she saw the house Shen Wenxuan planned to build, with stones piled beside it. , wood and thatch, it is not a green brick and tile house at first glance.

Xu couldn't help covering her mouth and sneering, finally regaining some face.

But this Shen Wenxuan is really a wolf-hearted dog, his cousins ​​can do the house building work, why don't you find some of his cousins?Wanting to take advantage of outsiders, thinking of this, the calculation in Xu's heart can't help but crackle.

There were so many outsiders there, Shen Wenxuan should have no shame to embarrass himself, it happened that Aunt Zhang still had a dozen pies in her basket, and she took them back for her son to eat.

Mrs. Xu coughed lightly, aggrieved herself with a smile on her face, twisted her waist and walked over, with a very affectionate attitude: "Wenxuan, where are you going to eat?"

"Hey, Wenxuan, why didn't you tell your family when you built the house that your brothers are idle, let them help you, so as to save you from exhausting yourself." The expression and movements were as contrived as singing.

As soon as Shen Wenxuan heard the word "Wenxuan", he was a little disgusted and couldn't eat. When he looked up, he saw Xu in red and green, twisted like a duck, and suddenly lost his appetite.

"Who are you?" Shen Wenxuan's face was gloomy, his voice was freezing cold, he was really tired today, his muscles all over his body were sore, and he was not in the mood to talk to Mrs. Xu.

Xu's expression froze for a second, then she turned her face and immediately shook the veil with a smile again: "Yo, you can't recognize my concubine wearing a veil, I am your second concubine."

"Hey, what do you eat well? Your third cousin hasn't eaten yet. After working in the field for a day, he can eat a cow. It happens that Aunt Zhang cooks a lot. I'll take some back for your cousin to taste. taste."

After finishing speaking, she reached out to get the basket without listening to Shen Wenxuan's answer. This was not a posture to take a few. Aunt Zhang pushed her hand away anxiously. Her son was tired after a day's work, so she went back to cook by herself , Where does it come from holding other people's food on the face.

Besides, it's not a busy time for farming, and even if they are working, they only do some work to clean up the crops. Who doesn't know that this is to take advantage of it.

Mrs. Xu was in pain, and she withdrew her hand and gave Aunt Zhang a hard look, her eyes hooked on those cakes very unwillingly.

A white-eyed wolf is a white-eyed wolf!They're all relatives, what's wrong with taking a few cakes?Going out this time is getting more and more stingy.

There were several foreign men beside her, Xu held back his anger and did not argue with them, and asked the purpose with a stiff expression:

"How many rooms are you going to build? Can you come here in a hurry? Your cousins ​​all grew up here and are familiar with it. I will call your cousins ​​to help you tomorrow."

"But as I said before, my brother has to settle accounts clearly. Don't forget to pay your cousin's wages when you're done. By the way, how do you pay your wages here? Your cousin volunteered to help, so it should be higher, right?"

Shen Wenxuan was about to be laughed out of anger, and rushed to help make it look like alms. It's really confusing in the world, so shameless!

But the more shameless she was, the happier Shen Wenxuan was, and the more relaxed she was when she packed it up.

"Mr. Xu, I suddenly remembered something." Shen Wenxuan threw the cake in his hand to Zhang Tieniu, patted the ashes on his trousers and stood up, "I bought that pair for five taels of silver, but your contract may Not for me."

Xu was taken aback, Shen Wenxuan didn't say that she still couldn't remember, and she still locked the contract of that cheap brother in the cabinet of the room.

"Please give me the contract." The moment Xu was stunned, Shen Wenxuan had already pushed a few steps away, and a figure taller than Xu shrouded him. It was obviously just a young man's thin body, but it was cold and cold, and his eyes were cold. Black bottomless.

Xu shrank a little unconsciously, but Shen Wenxuan's cowardly character of being submissive and not daring to fart was deeply ingrained in her heart over the past ten years, so she reacted in the next second, seeing that Shen Wenxuan, a white-eyed wolf, dared to Threatening her, his arrogance immediately rose, and he felt that this trash had eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!

"I paid for the contract to get it from the dentist, so you can take it if you want? You really don't understand the rules!" Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes, with disgust hidden in her tone.

"In this way, you give me another five taels of silver. I will consider it and give you the contract."

Aunt Zhang immediately became angry when she heard it: "Xu Liuniang, don't bully people too much! The business in the dental office is a one-off sale. When will this contract be sold again?!"

"I said yes, but if you don't believe me, ask the village chief and see what the village chief has to say!"

"you--"

Aunt Zhang wanted to scold again, but Shen Wenxuan stopped her, and with a cold smile on her lips, she asked, "Did everyone hear clearly? Mrs. Xu said clearly that she wanted me to spend another five taels of silver to buy a contract. In the future, the magistrate of the county will send someone to ask, and everyone can tell the truth."

Everyone behind was stunned, what did Brother Shen just say?County grandfather? !

Xu Shi was also shocked by his words.

People at this time are the most conservative and feudal, and they are even more afraid of the government. They dare not mention any words related to officials, let alone Shen Wenxuan bluntly speaking of the county magistrate, looking at the posture and going to beat the drums to complain?

"You, don't scare me. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. Even if the king of heaven comes, I will not be afraid!"

Xu said stiffly, pretending to be calm on the face, but unconsciously clenched the veil in his hand, it is really that Shen Wenxuan's eyes on her now are too frightening, it is not the eyes that one should have.

"If you are not afraid, some people will be afraid. There are so many people watching," Shen Wenxuan said unhurriedly, but his words were chilled to the bone.

"You withheld the contract and refused to give it to me. Misappropriation of my property is the first crime. Threatening the contract and forcing me to pay five taels of silver is the second crime. Let's talk about the previous one. Your son whipped the person who bought it. , causing serious injury, cruelty and inhumanity is the third crime, knowing the crime but doing it intentionally is the fourth—”

Shen Wenxuan took a step forward, forcing Xu to retreat.

"All these things, I have personal evidence and physical evidence. If I press you to go to the yamen to beat the drum, do you think the county magistrate will open his eyes and tell lies for you? He is not your dear village chief."

Shocked, Xu raised her head to look at him suddenly, her face suddenly turned pale, Shen Wenxuan had a smile on her lips, she couldn't see any flaws, and her heart was terrified.

"Shen, the Shen family won't let you play drums."

"The Shen family?" Shen Wenxuan sneered, "Do you think that the village chief's surname is Shen, and Anhe Village belongs to the Shen family? You can't refute any of what I said, as long as there are a few who are unhappy with you, let alone report to the official If you tell this matter out, it will ruin the reputation of the Shen family and hurt the youngest son of the Shen family who is studying, how do you think Mrs. Shen will treat you?"

"The reputation of the Shen family has fallen into the mud. Not only your son, but your brother-in-law's two sons will have a hard time finding a wife. How will your husband, your husband's elder brother, younger brother, and brother-in-law treat you?"

"Not to mention, look behind, can you stop me?"

Xu was stunned, and mechanically followed the meaning of his words.

Behind Aunt Zhang's family and the other two people who had made friends with his family all looked at her with displeasure, frowning. Shen Wenxuan was not alone, and she couldn't stop her.

"So now," Shen Wenxuan slightly lowered his head and looked directly into her eyes, smiling but looking cool like a ghost, "If I think about it, you will be destroyed immediately."

"Whether it's behind bars or living at home like a dog."

Xu shivered suddenly and looked at Shen Wenxuan who was close at hand. She couldn't figure out why Shen Wenxuan had changed so much, but she didn't dare to bet on Shen Wenxuan's courage at this time, just like she is now looking at the more and more excited Shen Wenxuan was terrified.

"I, I didn't say anything just now, I didn't say anything." Xu shook her head in horror and turned to leave, but Shen Wenxuan grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back. He was not in the mood to pity her.

"It's so easy to want to leave, did you forget something?" Shen Wenxuan reminded kindly.

"Oh, deed, contract document, contract document," Xu wrinkled her whole face in pain, for a moment she forgot where the contract document was placed, and Shen Wenxuan grabbed her hair and tilted her neck, so anxious that she burst into tears , "Yes, yes, I remember it's... in the cabinet, I'll get it for you, get it for you..."

"Tsk, that's the end? Aunt Zhang," Shen Wenxuan called back, "How much does this pair cost?"

Aunt Zhang was also startled by Shen Wenxuan, and she was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "Probably... a few hundred."

"Did you hear clearly?" Shen Wenxuan reminded again kindly.

"Listen, I heard clearly." This time Xu really cried, and handed the purse at her waist to Shen Wenxuan with blood dripping from her palms. She was afraid that the dead old woman would open the door of her room while she was away, so that She always carried five taels of silver close to her body.

Only then did Shen Wenxuan let go of her hair, took the purse and counted it, then took out five hundred coins and put it back into the purse and handed it to Xu Shi: "I don't take advantage of this person, I will pay you back whatever you paid for it." money."

Xu couldn't believe it for a moment, and after a long while, he dared to take the purse.

After Shen Wenxuan got angry, he just felt comfortable all over, and seeing Xu Shi was also pleasing to the eye, and reminded him friendly:

"Remember not to be so stupid next time you are shameless."

Mrs. Xu didn't have the energy to care about Shen Wenxuan's scolding her for being stupid, so she nodded indiscriminately, and ran away in despair. When she got home, even if her mother-in-law scolded her with harsh words, she didn't care. He even went to the government to beat the drums to complain, and immediately rummaged through the box to find the contract and threw it into the courtyard gate that Shen Wenxuan had just repaired.

Shen Wenxuan put the dirt on the bombs into his arms, now that it was dark, Shen Wenxuan distributed the remaining pancakes to those who came to help, of course, more for the Zhang family.

This help not only manages the full meal but also asks people to take the leftovers back. It is really too kind. The people who came to help can't help but feel a little embarrassed, especially the two new guys. Everyone in the Zhang family knows that Shen Wenxuan is good. , the two men couldn't help but also changed a little bit.

"Brother Shen, are you going to sleep here tonight? My mother told you to come to our house to sleep, and our brothers will spare the bed for you, so we won't squeeze you in."

Zhang Tieniu is still here to make the last effort. His mother said, seeing Brother Shen's current style of handling things, he is a good guy who knows right from wrong and is not afraid of troubles. Let them spend more time with Brother Shen and learn.

He felt that what his mother said was right, and so were his two younger brothers. Good brothers should chat late at night to enhance their relationship.

But Shen Wenxuan still refused, he was really not used to sleeping with people.

Zhang Tieniu had no choice but to give up, and when he was about to leave the hospital, he asked, "Brother Shen, do you want to see that twin tomorrow?"

Shen Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "No, I have something to do in the next few days, and I will take a look after the house is built."

Zhang Tieniu nodded, a man should focus on his career, he has learned what he has learned.

What Shen Wenxuan was thinking at this moment was: Those twins were seriously injured, they should not be awake at this time... right?
