"Ma'am, Jinfeng, it's time to eat."
When Shen Ruolan came out with a small pot of baked green onion pancakes, Cui Shi and Zhang Jinfeng had already finished cleaning the battlefield, and sat back on Kang Yan'er in the outer room.
Seeing the cake brought out by Shen Ruolan, Zhang Jinfeng complained, "Emma, it's finally ready, it's so slow, I'm going to starve to death."
Shen Ruolan has been busy so far without touching the ground, but the first sentence she heard was complaining, so of course she felt unhappy, and immediately turned back in a neutral manner: "I knew you would be quick, you can do it well."
When Zhang Jinfeng heard Shen Ruolan's words, he didn't like it anymore, so he pulled his face and said, "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Shen Ruolan said lightly: "Literally, if you think I am slow, it must be because you are fast! Since you are fast, then I will do it next time, so as to save others from working so hard to finish it and leave you behind." complain."
Zhang Jinfeng was harassed, quit, pulled the old lady's sleeves and shouted, "Mother, look at her, the first time we went to her house, she threw me face, don't you want us to go to her house come?"
Cui Shi was also very dissatisfied with Shen Ruolan's attitude. In her imagination, when her mother-in-law came to the door, Shen Ruolan should lower her eyebrows and be submissive, how could she dare to confront her sister-in-law? Although she didn't care about the girl Jin Feng, it was up to the owner to beat the dog. Jin Feng was her daughter, and if she beat Jin Feng, didn't she just not give her mother-in-law face
This dead girl is too ignorant and arrogant. If it weren't for the sake of asking her for money later, she would want to turn against her now.
But, for the sake of money, she endured it
"It's all right, don't worry about it, your second sister-in-law has worked so hard to prepare the meal for us, it's enough, why do you have so many things!" Cui snorted her daughter, and took off her shoes Kang, sitting cross-legged at the Kang table, stretched out his big black hand to grab a piece of oil pancake, said with a smile: "I have heard from your uncle that your cooking is delicious, and I will try it today."
With that said, "Kang Chi" took a bite and bit off a third of the cake.
Shen Ruolan saw that she ate the cake without even washing her hands, and hurriedly said, "Ma'am, you—"
I just wanted to tell her to wash her hands first before eating, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly felt that saying this would cause misunderstandings between the two women, thinking that she despised them for being unhygienic, and it would make her angry if she was kind, so it would be better not to say it Well, so the topic changed, "Hehe, I also fried shredded potatoes to make carrot soup, just wait, I'll serve it."
Shen Ruolan went into the kitchen to serve soup.
A murmur came from behind: "I don't even have a meat dish, I've been picked to death."
It was Zhang Jinfeng's voice.
Shen Ruolan didn't say a word, she went into the kitchen to serve dishes and soup as if she didn't hear.
I can't be more serious with these tigers who don't understand human language. If nothing else, it will make me angry, so I might as well just take her words as fart!
Shredded potatoes and radish soup were served. There was a large plate of shredded potatoes, each fried with shiny oil. A lot of oil was put in it. Although it was a vegetarian dish, it tasted no better than meat dishes. Difference. The radish soup is also light and delicious, and it is indeed as delicious as what Lao Zhangtou said.
Cui Shi and Zhang Jinfeng gobbled it up. They also ate coarse grains and wild vegetables for a long time, and now they suddenly ate the pancakes baked with white flour. They were so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues. Holding the cake in one hand and chopsticks in the other, 'Kang Chi' took a big bite of the cake, swallowed it eagerly before chewing it up, then picked up a big chopstick and stuffed shredded potatoes into his mouth, stuffing his mouth It was full, and the mouth was dripping with oil. Occasionally, I would take a sip of soup from the soup bowl, and there was a sound of "baldness", and the movement was as loud as drinking an old cow...
It's hard to describe this food!
Seeing Shen Ruolan's temples protruding, he couldn't even eat anymore!
It was so easy to accompany them to finish the meal, Shen Ruolan didn't want to stay with them for a minute, she used the excuse to go to the ground to clean up the dishes, and wanted to leave them early.
However, Mrs. Cui stopped her, "Hi, Lan Ya, don't be so busy, Madam has something to tell you."
Cui covered her stomach and hiccupped, she straightened her body and leaned back slightly, probably too stretched to bend down!
Zhang Jinfeng also looked like this. She supported her back with one hand and covered her belly with the other. At first glance, she looked like she was pregnant.
Shen Ruolan had no choice but to sit back and try her best to calmly say, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"
Cui gritted her teeth, picked them with the nail of her little finger, and then wiped them under the table, then said kindly, "Lan Ya, it's not appropriate for my aunt to tell you these things the first time I come back to see you. , but aunt really can't help it now, you also know that our family owes a lot of famine outside, a large sum of money is due in the past few days, and the creditor said that he would not renew the loan, and asked us to pay it back immediately, you Uncle and Dayong and Eryong are not at home, and my aunt is also forced by others. If this is not the case, I am thinking about coming to your place to see if you can reverse dozens of taels for aunt first, and wait for your uncle and the second Yong and the others will pay you back after getting the money back, don’t worry, the aunt can’t rely on your money, but will return it to you, the aunt knows you’re a good boy, she definitely can’t watch our mothers being forced to death by others, right?” As Cui spoke, she observed Shen Ruolan's expression.
Shen Ruolan had already guessed what they were doing in the conversation with Zhang Jinfeng, so she was not surprised to hear such a shameless request, but she would definitely not give the money. How can anyone worry about the money in his daughter-in-law's pocket before they get married, so shameless
"Oh my god, auntie, why didn't you say it earlier? If you said earlier, I wouldn't have built these big sheds, and I might not have built houses with bricks and tiles. Now you've spent all the money to come here Said, I just want to help, but I can't help it!" Shen Ruolan patted her thigh, with a look of remorse.
Cui Shi and Zhang Jinfeng glanced at each other, then looked at Shen Ruolan suspiciously, "You really have no money, and you didn't keep any?"
"I didn't keep it, and I borrowed dozens of taels from someone. Otherwise, with the little money my father earned, how could it be enough to build a shed and a house?" Shen Ruolan said casually with a bitter face.
Cui did the calculations in her heart, and the money earned by Shen Lao Er was really not enough to build the shed and the house, and it must be this prodigal girl who was living on her own wages and ruined all the money in advance, and owed her an asshole Famine, such a thing that doesn't know how to live, can't be married at home.
"Since you don't have any money, forget it, then you can pay me back the money that my family Er Yong bought you for those things in the past, and that fox fur was also given to you secretly. You can either return the fox skin to me, or Turn it into money and give it to me."
Cui has already made up her mind not to want this daughter-in-law, so she doesn't need to save face, she put her face down when she spoke, how can she still have the kindness just now
Shen Ruolan didn't expect that she could say such shameless words, and would ask for something back, so she couldn't help being laughed at. However, since the conversation has reached this point, she doesn't need to save face for the other party.
"Auntie, those are Zhang Eryong's repayment to me, how can you still ask for it? You probably don't know yet? I sold your recipe for making spiced peanuts to him, and the price is 50." Two, he hasn't even paid back the ten taels now, if it wasn't because of his engagement to me, I would have gone to your house a long time ago."
"What? Fifty taels?"
Cui stood up, put her big hand covering her stomach on her waist in an instant, stared at Shen Ruolan and shouted: "It's just such a broken prescription, you want us fifty taels, why are you so dark? Did you see My second child is honest and kind, so he fooled him with Hua Shuo Liu and asked him to buy your broken prescription with such a large sum of money!"
At this moment, she forgot how much money that five-spice peanuts helped their family earn, and she only remembered that her stupid son promised to give them fifty taels of silver. Fifty taels, if it is given to her for nothing, Cui Shi will not be reconciled even if she dies.
"Auntie, you can't say that. You know how much money your family has made since you got that prescription. If it weren't for my prescription, where would your family go to get the money? I think I'm selling cheap, if I knew you were like this, I would have asked for a hundred taels." Not to be outdone, Cui Shi stood up, and she also stood up.
When Cui saw that Shen Ruolan dared to challenge her like this, she became even angrier, "Hey, it's still a hundred taels, it's so beautiful that your nose is so bubbly! Our family makes money because of the hard work of our family. Earn, it’s none of your business, even if your prescription works at first, it’s worth at most two or two, why do you blackmail my family’s old money?”
Shen Ruolan sneered: "Who blackmailed your house? Your son begged me to buy it, okay? I regretted selling it to him. Now that you're here, return the remaining forty taels to me. It's just right for me to buy it." It’s not enough to build a house.”
"You are beautiful, go dream!" One day Cui jumped up when she asked her for money.
If you want to ask her for silver, in the next life, how can you give her silver with such a miserly temperament, let alone forty taels, even four copper coins.
Mrs. Cui originally planned to come here to get a sum of money, but she didn't expect that the money was not obtained, and she caused a famine all over her body. She became distraught and angry, and showed her true face, "You are a son of a wife who raises a man!" Little whore, your mother ran away with someone, you are not a fun thing, you can hook up with men at a young age, my son lost his mind when he hooked up, and spent so much money to buy your broken prescription, and still like you I've already made an appointment with a poor guy, and I dare to talk to my mother-in-law before I come in. How can we have a good relationship in the future? Sure enough, there are mothers who have not been taught by mothers, so I will leave the words here now, today You either pay me back the money my family bought for you and the fox fur, or we will divorce right now, and you don’t even want to marry my son.”
Shen Ruolan nodded, "That's fine, then you go back, I won't send it off."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Mrs. Cui didn't understand what Shen Ruolan meant, and told her to go back, did she give her money
Shen Ruolan said lightly: "With a mother like you, I don't want to marry Zhang Eryong anymore. As for those accounts, it's between Zhang Yong and me. I'll settle with him, you can't tell me."
Calculate with him? That silly son can't let her go on fooling around, can the money still come out? Cui sat back on the Kang Yan'er again, patted the Kang table and shouted: "No, you have to give me back the money today, our family's money is all hard earned by us, you can't Raise you white-eyed wolf."
Shen Ruolan sneered and said: "I think your head has been kicked by a donkey. Pay you back? It's not bad if you pay me back. The fifty taels your son promised me is still more than forty times over. I haven't paid back the money. Go to you and ask for money, so you can have fun secretly, and dare to come to me for money? Are you poor and crazy?"
"You said you are poor and crazy? You little cunt!" Seeing that Shen Ruolan not only refused to give the money, but even insisted on asking her to pay back the money, Cui was already full of anger. When she heard Shen Ruolan say that she was poor and crazy , was even more angry, stood up abruptly, and rolled up his arms and sleeves to beat Shen Ruolan.
Cui Shi Yilao thinks that she is old anyway, and she will have to suffer if she is beaten up, and she can't dare to fight back!
But before she could take the next step, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Lanya, who is arguing at your house? It's like a donkey barking!"
Aunt Xie and sister-in-law Qiuping came in. They were found by Daqing. Daqing was carrying water for Shen Ruolan's house to water the greenhouse. When passing by the yard, he overheard old lady Cui coming to bully Lanya. Hit him, and hurried to find his mother and his wife.
When I went back, there happened to be a few women chatting through the door at home. The men of these women were going to help Lan Ya's house build a house in a few days. When I heard that the big benefactor was bullied, it was okay. , all rushed to find someone.
Aunt Xie and sister-in-law Qiuping were afraid that Shen Ruolan would suffer, so they arrived first, but as soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard old lady Cui cursing. Of course Aunt Xie would not spoil her, she began to scold her through the window.
When the old lady Cui heard someone scolding her like a donkey, she immediately put her hands on her hips and aimed her fire at the person who came: "What are you doing? It's none of your business if I teach my daughter-in-law? You lick your face What are you doing here?"
Shen Ruolan hurriedly said: "Didn't you just say that you won't let me marry your son? I don't admit that I am your daughter-in-law, don't talk nonsense."
Aunt Xie raised her chin, and said triumphantly: "Did you hear that? We Lan Ya don't admit that she is your daughter-in-law, so don't mistakenly recognize your relatives, it will damage our Lan Ya's reputation."
"That's right, our Lanya is not worthy of ordinary people. No matter how good your son is, we will not marry you if you are such a naughty and unreasonable old woman." Qiuping's sister-in-law also said mercilessly. .
At this time, a few more women ran in from the yard, all panting and panting. They all heard that Lan Ya was being bullied, and they all came to give Lan Ya a favor.
Just like Aunt Xie, before entering the house, the group started arguing in the yard.
"Oh, that blind old Saobi dared to bully our Lan Ya, and my mother slapped her to death with her big mouth!"
"Stop arguing, go into the house quickly, if you want to slap everyone together, how can it be easier for you alone?"
"Let's go, slap that one who doesn't have long eyes..." With a whimper, there were five or six more women in the room, all of them staring at old Mrs. Cui, his mother and daughter with unfriendly expressions.
When the old lady Cui saw that everyone was coming towards her, she immediately widened her eyes, and shouted, "What are you bastards thinking? I'm Lan Ya's old woman, how dare you beat me?" of?"
Aunt Xie said, "Don't listen to her fart. Just now she said that she won't marry Lan Ya, and she has broken up with Lan Ya. You don't have to let her deal with this old bastard."
"Hey, how dare you say that you won't marry Lanya just like her family? It's a pity for us Lanya to marry their family. I didn't expect her to pretend to be a fart?"
"Don't talk nonsense to her, scratch this old bastard..."
A group of old women yelled loudly, and without saying a word, they simply and rudely wanted to get started, fully embodying the tough and combative side of the northern women.
After seeing so many people, old woman Cui originally wanted to have a "verbal war against the crowd", "overwhelm the crowd, or something." Fortunately, in the future, these eight villages will be famous and famous in the annals of history.
But this group of old tiger girls didn't play their cards according to common sense, and they were about to attack without moving their mouths. Now she was frightened, so many people scratched her, and they didn't scratch her into a blood gourd!
"Lanya, dead Lanya, are you just watching these old women bully me? When I, Eryong, come back to see how you explain to Eryong?" She shouted impatiently.
Because two old women have already started to roll up their sleeves, and it looks like they are going to come over and scratch her soon!
Shen Ruolan spread her hands, looking helpless, "Didn't you say you won't let your son marry me? I'm not your daughter-in-law anymore, why should I help you?"
"Yes, you don't need to tell Lan Ya, it has nothing to do with her, it's us who dislike you, we want to cut you!"
Several lively old women surrounded me.
At a critical moment, Gui Shengzi's daughter-in-law came. Gui Shengzi's daughter-in-law is from Taohua Village, and she can still talk about some relatives with the old lady Cui. Although the friendship between the two families is not very good, at least it is decent.
Seeing that old lady Cui was in trouble, Guisheng's wife hurriedly stopped the women who were doing the fighting, and shouted to Shen Ruolan while fighting, "Lanya, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, but look at Er Yong who is sincerely treating you well." For the sake of this, don’t let everyone make matters worse.”
In fact, Shen Ruolan didn't really want everyone to beat Old Mrs. Cui, but just wanted to take the opportunity to scare her so that she wouldn't hit her again in the future.
