Chapter 3
"That dead girl from the Zhong family is here again, isn't she? How many times have I told you that she is here to cheat food and drink, but you just don't understand. Even if this girl runs fast, let me catch her next time, see How can I teach her a lesson!"

When Jiang returned home, he said unwillingly in the yard with his hips akimbo.After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Shiyi who was sitting next to the chrysanthemum, and pointed at Shen Shiyi with a tender finger, "Is the rice steamed? Is the food fried? What are you doing sitting there? When your father comes back, the food is not ready yet." , if he gets angry and hits someone, I won't stop him!"

At this time, Shen Shiyi no longer had the panic she had in the morning. She was pointed at by her mother, Jiang Shi, and slowly got up, looking at this woman who spoke harshly to her.

Jiang's beauty was favored by his father Shen Zhaokun, even though it has been more than ten years, the charm still exists.The skin is different from the porcelain white complexion of ordinary peasant girls, her figure is graceful, and her hair is black. These three points alone make her stand out from the crowd of women. With a foundation of beauty, even if she has never read a book, she has no temperament bonus , just a pair of almond eyes is better than [-]% of women in the world.It's just that she may be too bad-mouthed, so the lower half of her face is a little sunken as she gets older, showing some meanness, which damages her beauty.

Jiang's heart was frightened by Shen Shiyi's eyes on strangers, and he panicked for a moment. The word "evil" flashed in his mind, but he still scolded Shen Shiyi relentlessly, "What are you looking at! No Have you met your mother? Hurry up and cook!"

Without arguing, Shen Shiyi walked around the yard from the porch and went to the kitchen.

Seeing that Shen Shiyi was obedient, Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.Shen Shiyi was favored by her mother-in-law since she was a child because she looked like her grandmother. The older she grew up, the more she resembled her. Looking at her silent appearance just now, Jiang Shi thought of her mother-in-law's appearance when she first stepped into Shen's house. Looking at you quietly like that, it seems like you can see through people's hearts but don't bother to talk to you.

Jiang recalled what her husband once said after getting drunk. Counting up to three generations of the Shen family, they all came from mud-legged backgrounds. They got rich because they married the mother-in-law of a run-down official family lady, and they established a silk and satin shop in the city.

I also thought of the silk and satin shop where the business of the family has been worsening day by day since the in-laws passed away. I thought about the husband looking at the second son Shen Shiyi a few days ago, and thought that if the second son should try to run the business, maybe he can be like the mother-in-law , brought the business back to life, Jiang shook his head, her husband was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, even if the mother-in-law is really capable, how old is the second child?How much can she learn from her mother-in-law?

"Hey, madam, madam came back early today."

Ma Shi turned around from behind the screen wall, but unexpectedly ran into Jiang Shi who was staring at Shen Shiyi's leaving direction in a daze, and said in a slightly embarrassed manner.

At this time, Jiang's mind is not on her, and he also knows that Ma's is always sneaky and tricky. If it wasn't for her cheap wages, he would have kicked her out a long time ago.

Jiang Shi waved his hand impatiently, telling her to cook quickly.Although the second child is becoming more proficient in housework, the stove is too high and the spatula is too heavy, so she still can't lift it for cooking.

Mrs. Ma was amazed at how Mrs. Today was merciful and spared her, but she didn't dare to delay. Although the Shen family was quite poor, they never defaulted on their wages, so he had better go to work as soon as possible.

Watching Mrs. Ma hurrying to the kitchen, Mrs. Jiang, who has always had no backbone in her heart, looked at the chrysanthemums in the yard, thinking of her mother-in-law.Although I am restrained under the hands of my mother-in-law, I don't have to worry about money.Thinking of the good old days when there were seven or eight servants in the family, Jiang, who came back from visiting, went back to the main house, lay down on the soft couch in the side room and thought wildly, "If the mother-in-law is still here, she will definitely not have such The comfortable days when I come back from visits, my mother-in-law is very strict, and she is not allowed to lie down during the day except for a nap. But although this day of lying down is good, it is short of money. Next time my sisters and brothers come again, I will not have it The money is there."

Jiang, who has always been heartless, has something on his mind.

"Hey!"

Shen Zhaokun brought his two daughters back home at noon, sat down at the table in the main room and began to sigh, his two daughters stood in front of him, a little afraid to touch the bad luck.

"What's going on here?"

On the side, Jiang shi, who had been dazed for a while on the soft couch, heard the movement in the main room, straightened his hair and came out, and asked concerned.

Shen Zhaokun turned around and saw Jiang's temple hair slightly loose, and couldn't help frowning, "Lying down during the day, what do you look like! You are free at home, and you don't talk about doing housework. Cong Huanfan is five years old. I'm going to the university, you can also make clothes for Cong Huan when you have free time, let him wear it when he goes to school."

Now Shen Conghuan can only learn to read in front of Fan Xiucai on the street. With the foundation, he can be sent to the academy to study after the New Year.

Knowing that her husband was bored, that's why she found fault. Jiang didn't argue with her husband, and just smiled softly, "I was lost in thought just now, and I squinted for a while, but I didn't lie down."

Shen Zhaokun raised his eyebrows, his wife is beautiful but careless, she usually does things according to her temper, but today she still thinks about something?Shen Zhaokun deliberately followed Jiang's words and asked, "What are you thinking about, tell me about it."

Unexpectedly, the Jiang family really didn't make an excuse casually, but sat down in front of her husband in a serious manner, and solemnly dismissed the two daughters.

Seeing Jiang's solemnity, Shen Zhaokun couldn't help but sit up straight. Could it be that something really happened?Could it be that the mother-in-law's family came to ask for money again?In the past, three melons and two jujubes were sent away, but now the business in the shop is bleak, and I'm afraid I can't afford the money.This time, I'm afraid I will lose face in front of my mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Shen Zhaokun thought in distress.

"The head of the family, you said that since my mother-in-law got married, the family has been getting better every day. But I don't see my mother-in-law meddling in the family business on weekdays. So, do you think my mother-in-law is just a good character, Wang family?"

It might as well be that the daughter-in-law said these words, Shen Zhaokun was stunned for a moment, and then followed Jiang's words to think about it.

"You can't say that." Shen Zhaokun hesitated, "I remember that when I was young, my mother often worked in the shop with my father. Later, when the family business stabilized, my mother came back home. Thinking about it, my mother also had some unknown methods. It is the mother's credit to make father open and shut up."

Jiang Shi curled her lips, "My father-in-law looks at my mother-in-law, and naturally everything is fine, and everything big and small must be followed by my mother-in-law. It's not that my mother-in-law really has any real skills."

My sisters are always envious of their good marriage, saying how good their husband is to her, but they don't know that her father-in-law is really good to her mother-in-law, otherwise, her mother-in-law would not be able to go away after a cold, and he followed him after a while.

"So what if the horoscope is good? My mother has passed away now."

Shen Zhaokun said, feeling a little sad in his heart.When his parents were still there, he only felt that his parents always regarded him as a child and didn't let him be the master of everything.But now that his parents passed away less than two years ago, he fully appreciates the goodness of his parents.With his parents sheltering him from the wind and rain, he can live his leisurely life with peace of mind.But now that his parents are gone, he needs to support a family and support a large family by himself, so he realizes the difficulties of the world.
