Gu stared at Xingnong without blinking.

This girl's temper has changed since she was beaten with a stick!

If they didn't look the same, had the same birthmark on their butt, and inherited her husband's immense strength, she would have thought she had changed into someone else!

Xing Nong hasn't spoken yet.

Xinghui spoke first, "Didn't my sister work as a vegetable washer in the restaurant in town before? When she was washing vegetables and dishes in the restaurant, the chef was too busy or wanted to be lazy, so he would ask her to help cook, and she learned from the side! You know my sister is very smart, she can draw inferences from one example, she learned the dishes from the restaurant chef, and researched new dishes on her own, so now she has recipes to sell!"

Xing Nong: "..."

From now on, anything that needs to be explained will be left to him.

As long as she said one word, Xinghui could imagine it in great detail!

Gu was still confused: "I don't see your cooking being particularly delicious on weekdays?"

Xinghui: "Grandma, there is no salt or oil at home, we just cook everything in water, how do you think it will taste good? Besides, the dishes my sister cooks are at least green, but the ones you cook are all yellow, like pig food."

They can last a whole year with only one ounce of salt, and they never have any oil!

How can food be delicious without oil and salt

Xing Qing deeply agreed with this and nodded: "Well, grandma's cooking is simply not edible. My sister and aunt's cooking is still better."

Gu: “… ..”

Those two bastards, she thought they were not cooked yet! Of course they were green, not only green, but also full of vitality!

I get diarrhea every time I eat it.

These heartless people are kept in vain!

Never mind them!

Gu used a flint to light some bamboo leaves, stuffed them into the stove, and started to boil water and cook.

She was still worried about whether she could keep the ten taels of silver.

Not long after, Shen Ruoxi woke up and had returned to normal, completely normal.

When she heard that Xingnong had earned ten taels of silver, she was delighted: "My Xingnong is so smart!"

Xing Nong was a little surprised. This was not the disease she had seen before. And her IQ seemed to be getting more and more like a child. Could it be that Shen Ruoxi had gone crazy because of excessive shock

It seems that I need to find a doctor to see her.

Xinghui nodded, "Sister is very smart! It's all thanks to Hickory."

Shen Ruoxi was surprised and asked, "Why is it the hickory nuts' credit? Isn't it my credit?"

Xingnong is her child, right

"Eating more walnuts can improve your brain and intelligence!"

Shen Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll eat more too!"

If she eats more, her brain might get better!

She immediately took out a few pecans and cracked them to eat.

The whole family laughed.

Xing Nong raised her lips slightly as she thought of her plan: "Grandma, how about we move to Taohua Village? Village Chief Gu said that his family has an old house and I want to buy it."

The whole family was stunned for a moment and looked at her in surprise.

"Why do we need to move?" Xing Qing asked.

Xinghui immediately said, "I know. It was Village Chief Gu who suggested that we move."

Then he added Village Chief Gu's words, added his own imagination, and embellished them vividly.

With such a talkative little brother around, Xingnong suddenly felt much more relaxed.

After Xinghui finished speaking, Xingnong said, "This house is too dark and damp. Living in it for a long time is not good for your health. Besides, Plum Blossom Village is not suitable for my mother to recuperate."

Gu knew this truth, "But your grandfather asked me to guard this house. What will happen if we move out? If your great grandmother occupies it, it will be demolished."

Although this house is said to be the ancestral home of the Shen family, she knows that it was built brick by brick after the Shen family recognized Shen Chongshan.

The house where the Shen family lived before collapsed long ago.

Even the large blue brick and tile house of the Shen family in front, one of the entrances was built with the money earned by Shen Chongshan, but at that time the family had not split up, and they were all one family.

Later, Shen Chongshan went to serve in the military and was away for several years. He was later killed in the battlefield. The orphans and widows were then separated and got nothing.

Shen Zhongshan asked her to keep this house before he went to serve in the military.

He hasn't thought about moving in these years.

Xing Nong: "Even if we move, this house is ours. How can she tear it down at will?"

Shen Ruoxi also said: "They just want us to move out, but they didn't say they want to demolish the house! Can't we just use the house to store firewood? Besides, wouldn't it be easier for the children to get married if we move to a new house?"

The eldest branch of the Shen family has had several quarrels over the house, and she is afraid every time.

Gu was always worried that the seven taels of silver earned by Xingnong would bring disaster, but if he bought a house, wouldn’t the money be spent

As long as the newly bought house is in Xing Nong's name, it will be fine. She looked at the other three people and said, "Then let's go check out your uncle Gu's old house now!"

She really didn't want to keep the seven taels of silver with her overnight.

Xingnong was carrying a piece of meat and walking towards Taohua Village with Gu and Xingqing.

Xinghui took the initiative to stay at home to take care of Shen Ruoxi. He would sometimes go to Taohua Village to seek advice from Gu Zesen, so he went to Taohua Village often.

The two villages were connected end to end. They walked along the back mountain road and didn't meet anyone along the way. They arrived quickly.

Taohua Village and Meihua Village are separated by a large banyan tree.

This banyan tree is very big and must be several hundred years old.

On weekdays, the villagers of Taohua Village like to hang out here. Now it is evening, and smoke is rising from every household, but there is no one here.

Gu was a little homesick.

If Xingnong hadn't suddenly earned ten taels of silver, she wouldn't have thought of returning to Taohua Village.

Or in other words, I have no face to go back to Taohua Village.

At that time, Gu's father did not agree with her marrying Shen Zhongshan, so she married him to Taohua Village.

Her father said that Shen Chongshan was just an unidentified person rescued by Old Master Shen in the mountains, but for some reason he said he was his son who had been missing for many years.

Only they know whether they are really members of the Shen family. Anyway, her father thinks they are not.

He felt that Shen Chongshan would not be welcomed in the Shen family, and that Old Master Shen was treating him well because he was impressed by his abilities. To put it bluntly, he was taking advantage of Shen Chongshan and was not really treating him well!

Moreover, the people in Plum Blossom Village had a bad reputation, and her father did not agree with her marrying him. But she insisted on marrying him, so her father directly broke off relations with her and told her never to return to Peach Blossom Village.

At that time, the father and daughter were similar to their son, and the things they decided were irreversible even with ten oxen pulling them back.

After they got married, Shen Chongshan often brought Gu back home, but old man Shen always locked them out and they were not allowed to see anyone. This went on for several years.

Until Shen Chongshan went to serve in the military, Gu Shi did not have the courage or the face to go back. A few years later, when the news came back that Shen Chongshan had died in the battlefield, Gu Shi was even more afraid to go back, for fear that her parents would feel sad and her brother and sister-in-law would think she was going back to beg for money.

Gu only dared to go to the back hill to secretly take a look at her parents when they were working in the fields, and sometimes she would sneak into the fields to help them with farm work.

Later, when Shen Ruoxi got into trouble, she was even more afraid to go back. She only went back after her father and mother Gu passed away one after another, but she only went back those two times.

It’s not that they don’t want to, but they don’t dare to. They don’t want to implicate their mother’s family. After all, they have become the rats crossing the street that everyone in Meihua Village wants to beat.

Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone along the way and they soon arrived at the village chief's house. Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
