Chapter 79: Get away with cotton wool

She only drank half a bowl of wild vegetable soup last night and didn't bother to take a sip of water this morning. Shen Zhimei worked all morning on an empty stomach. When work was over, she was so hungry that her limbs were weak and she couldn't even walk. Get excited.

Because she didn't take out the cotton wool, Mrs. Qian didn't even take out a few drops of oil for cooking in recent days.

For wild vegetable soup, you can only boil a few ladles of water, then pour a handful of wild vegetables into it and cook it, and add a pinch of salt to taste.

What's the difference between wild vegetable soup without even a drop of oil and pig food cooked by the production team to feed the pigs?

Qian Dabao and Qian Zhizhi naturally don't have to worry about food. Old Mrs. Qian can just take out some from the cupboard and they won't be hungry.

Qian Xingsheng is the most promising eldest son in the eyes of Mrs. Qian, not to mention that he has given her a precious grandson. Mrs. Qian is not willing to treat him badly.

As Qian Xingsheng's bedfellow and Qian Dabao's mother-in-law, it was not natural for Xie Xiaofen to take advantage of him.

In the end, they were the only ones who ate the bran-pharyngeal vegetables.

So much fine grain is distributed in a year...

"My mother, my mother has not been feeling well these days, so don't argue with her." Qian Xingwang caught up with Shen Zhimei with a **** and whispered.

The corners of Shen Zhimei's lips curved into a bitter curve.

Care about…

Does she dare to care?

In Lao Qian's family, Mrs. Qian is the sky, and she is the mud on the ground.

If Mrs. Qian doesn't find fault with her, she will thank her profusely.

"My mother..." Seeing that Shen Zhimei was silent, Qian Xingwang called softly.

"I understand." Shen Zhimei nodded helplessly.

Seeing Shen Zhimei nodding, Qian Xingwang's frown visibly relaxed.

Da Ya Er Ya, who was pulling grass in another field, saw Shen Zhimei and Qian Xingwang and ran over happily carrying a basket.

"Father, mother."

The two little girls called out in unison.

"Hey!" Shen Zhimei forced out a smile.

Qian Xingwang smiled and took the basket from Da Ya Er Ya's hand and carried it in his own hand.

The family of four walked home talking and laughing.

"Mom, why is there smoke in our house? Is it somewhere?" Da Ya suddenly pointed in the direction of Lao Qian's house and said in a panic.

Shen Zhimei and Qian Xingwang looked up and were shocked.

In the past few years, although Xie Xiaofen liked to be lazy and would occasionally find excuses for her back pain to ask Shen Zhimei to help cook, she still cooked, washed dishes and did housework most of the time.

But then Shen Zhimei gave birth to Erya, and there was no movement in her belly.

Over time, Mrs. Qian saw that Shen Zhimei was either nitpicking her nose or raising her eyes.

Xie Xiaofen excused herself to take care of Qian Dabao, and gradually all the housework such as cooking and cleaning the house fell on Shen Zhimei.

Others can rest after work, but Shen Zhimei still has to cook, wash dishes, and clean the house when she gets home...

After she washed the clothes she had changed the day before and fed the chickens, the horn sounded again.

Especially in the past two years, when the eldest daughter and the second daughter have grown up, almost all the housework has fallen on the three of them, including collecting firewood, digging wild vegetables, sweeping the floor, and feeding the chickens.

The family of four ran home in a hurry.

Qian Zhizhi, who was carrying a plate of fragrant twice-cooked pork to the main room, saw Shen Zhimei's family coming back and said with a smile: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, Daya, and Erya quickly wash their hands and eat."

Shen Zhimei frowned, feeling that nothing good was going on. Da Ya and Er Ya were also stunned.

"Okay!" Qian Xingwang smiled and put down the basket and **** and went to wash his hands at the well.

"Why are you standing there stupidly? Are you hungry?" Hearing no movement behind him, Qian Xingwang turned to look at his wife and daughter with a smile on his face.

Shen Zhimei put down the hoe, tried her best to smile, and signaled Da Ya and Er Ya to wash their hands and eat.

As soon as a few people came to the table, a basin of oily braised pork was brought up again.

The bright red fat meat was piled tremblingly in the enamel basin, exuding an alluring aroma.

Qian Dabao picked up two pieces of braised pork with his chopsticks, stuffed them into his mouth, and started eating them with his mouth full.

Da Ya Er Ya could not help but swallow her saliva, but did not dare to touch the chopsticks in front of her.

Xie Xiaofen and Qian Xingsheng looked at the braised pork in the basin and swallowed hard.

"Eat! What are you doing standing around here!" Old Mrs. Qian walked in with a smile, carrying a large bowl of white rice.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaofen hurriedly stepped forward to take the rice bowl, "My mother hasn't served it yet, how can we juniors eat first!"

Mrs. Qian sat down on the main seat with satisfaction.

Shen Zhimei looked at the large table of dishes in front of her and felt panicked for no reason.

When a bowl of white rice was placed in front of her, Shen Zhimei felt completely panicked.

"My second brother, you eat more. I see you have lost weight. You have to take good care of yourself before you can flourish for our old Qian family!" Old Mrs. Qian smiled and took a piece of braised pork to the sink. Zhimei's bowl.

As he spoke, he put a few more pieces into Shen Zhimei's bowl.

Xie Xiaofen and Qian Xingsheng secretly glanced at each other and winked at each other.

Old Mrs. Qian's attitude towards Shen Zhimei is not known to outsiders, but even to her own family.

Mrs. Qian was definitely not holding back anything when she made this fuss today.

Adhering to the mentality that if you don't eat, you won't eat, and if you eat, you will eat for free. Xie Xiaofen and Qian Xingsheng made a meal of twice-cooked pork and braised pork.

Shen Zhimei looked at the braised pork in the bowl and was so flustered that she couldn't even hold her chopsticks.

Seeing Shen Zhimei bowing her head in silence, Mrs. Qian said again: "Second brother's family, you see your sister-in-law is getting older, it's time to kiss her. I asked your uncle to help me find cotton in the past two years. , I’m going to make two sheets of cotton wool for your sister-in-law’s dowry, and sew a new coat..."

Shen Zhimei's hand shook.

Old Mrs. Qian coughed slightly, and then continued: "But the cotton harvest in the past two years has not been good, and there is nothing you can do. My mother thought, your mother gave you two beds of cotton wool, so you can borrow those two beds of cotton wool first." Give your sister-in-law an emergency response, wait until next year's cotton harvest is ready..."

"Mom, you can have anything you want, but I can't give you those two beds of cotton wool and cotton." Shen Zhimei put down the bowls and chopsticks.

"I told you I'll pay you back next year, what else do you want? Don't be shameless." Mrs. Qian slapped her chopsticks on the table and said angrily.

The loud noise made Da Ya Er Ya tremble in fright.

"Mom, why don't you give me the two sheets of cotton wool that my mother gave me first..." Qian Xingwang glanced at the angry old lady Qian, frowned and whispered.

"That was not given by my mother, but by my little sister." Shen Zhimei interrupted Qian Xingwang's words directly.

"You also know my little sister's health. She is sick for 300 of the 365 days a year, and she drinks bitter medicine soup every three days. She drags her sick body to write I earned some royalties from the article, and I am still thinking about my eldest sister and her two nieces. You think, if I give away these two beds of cotton wool, will I still be a human being? "

Shen Zhimei's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Don't tell me so much. Today you either take out the cotton wool, or take your cotton wool and your two money-losing things and get out of our old Qian's house." The former old lady said with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.
