Chapter 27 27 Fire Kang

Shen Shuangshuang was walking towards the kitchen and almost laughed when she heard this.

Mrs. Shen heard the movement and looked in the direction where she was.

Shen Shuangshuang quickly restrained himself and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

"I haven't heard of it, what's going on?" Mrs. Shen looked away from her daughter-in-law and looked at Aunt Wang who was full of gossip.

"Oh, I heard..." Then Aunt Wang started talking vividly about how Old Man Li and Mrs. Zhao were sent to the town for medical treatment this morning.

"You don't know, your mother-in-law was still restless while riding on the bullock cart. She kept mumbling, saying, 'Don't look for me, fourth brother, I didn't kill you!' and so on! I see, it's [-]% true. That hole in your house has come to light."

"Seeing how you orphans and widowed mothers are being bullied, a spirit appears to vent your anger!" Aunt Wang said with a look of relief.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen frowned.

He glanced in the direction of the kitchen again.

"Do my siblings know what's going on with them now?" Chong asked Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was a little surprised to see that Mr. Shen didn't look happy after hearing this.

"Your father-in-law is facially paralyzed. I heard that he will have some trouble eating and talking in the future."

"As for your mother-in-law, she seems to have recovered. But she keeps clamoring for your man to burn paper and ingots. Before I came here, I heard that she had gone up the mountain to burn them."

"Sister-in-law, are you still worried about them?" Aunt Wang asked.

This sister-in-law of the Li family is too kind-hearted, right?

"No." Shen said.

"Our family has been separated, and I have also established a female household. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Li family."

Aunt Wang was startled, and then she remembered that Mrs. Shen had established a female household.

"Sister-in-law, oh no, Sister Huilan! I can call you Sister Huilan from now on!" This is a female household, so calling me sister is closer than sister-in-law.

Shen was stunned.

Huilan, how long has it been since anyone called me this name?

Since arriving in Dahe Village, others have either called her from Li Laosi's family or Shen's family.She almost forgot that her name was Shen Huilan.

"Yeah." Shen responded with a burst of emotion in her heart.

"Haha, Sister Huilan, you are so awesome!" Aunt Wang praised Mr. Shen.

After chatting with Mr. Shen for a long time, he left.

The next day, Shen Shuangshuang got up early, and after finishing his work at home, he set out for the town again.

Because there were not much materials left, Shen Shuangshuang simply went to sell fruit after entering the city.

The fruit is still as popular as she thought.

Because another family bought her grapes to make wine, Shen Shuangshuang's fruits were sold even faster this time than last time.

After selling the fruits, Shen Shuangshuang continued to sell goods.

During the last trip to collect goods in the afternoon, I went to Liu's house and informed Qian that the materials were ready.

On the third day, Pan Kang finally started.

Four people from the Liu family, father and son, came to work at the Shen family.

Shen Shuangshuang watched at home, discussing details with Master Liu from time to time, or providing help.

The kang work was progressing smoothly.

Some villagers saw the masons coming to Dahe Village and learned that the masons had gone to the Shen family. They all speculated whether the Shen family wanted to renovate the house.

Aunt Wang enthusiastically explained that it was not about renovating the house, but about setting up a fire bed.

He also praised Shen Shuangshuang for his filial piety, and placed himself on the fire bed to prevent Shen's legs from freezing in the winter.

After everyone heard this, they all praised Shen Shuangshuang.

At the same time, I felt sorry for the Shen family. After being kicked out by the Li family, they couldn't even afford a bed.

On the fourth day, furniture from the town was delivered.

Those who used to think that the Shen family was poor and would not be able to survive have all changed their minds.

Such large carts of furniture probably cost a lot of money.

Many people also went to Shen's house to see the excitement.I found that although the Shen family bought a lot of furniture, there was really no bed in it, and I felt that the Shen family was still very poor.

As for buying this batch of furniture, there is no other way. Who wants to let the house have nothing? It will be difficult to live in if it is not bought, right?

Thinking about it, these arrangements were made because of the separation of the family and the fact that the Li family had to pay for the money.

It's just that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shen family are still very poor at living, and they waste their money on buying so much furniture.

When winter comes next, life for this family will probably not be easy...

Shen Shuangshuang warmly greeted the villagers who came to watch the excitement, and waited until the crowd had almost dispersed before starting to move the furniture into the house.

Master Liu and his three sons saw that Shen Shuangshuang, a young lady, had difficulty moving, so they helped her place the furniture.

After the furniture came into the house, the house suddenly looked better and more like a home.

In the afternoon, the Liu family and his son finally set up the fire bed.

Shen Shuangshuang expressed his gratitude and settled the wages to the four people.

Seeing that it's still early, I told Mr. Shen to go into the mountain to chop firewood.

Because it was getting dark early, Shen Shuangshuang went into the mountains this time and met several villagers.

Shen Shuangshuang took the initiative to greet the other party.

Now everyone in Dahe Village knows that Shen Shuangshuang is not stupid anymore, she is eloquent and understands the laws of the court, and everyone is willing to talk to her.

Many aunts and aunts even asked about Shen's situation, and even scolded the Li family for being too cruel.

Someone even asked Shen Shuangshuang if she knew that her father-in-law showed up and wanted to settle a score with the two elders of the Li family.

Shen Shuangshuang was very happy to hear this.

He only said that her brain had recovered because her father-in-law appeared, and she didn't know anything about the Li family.

When the villagers heard this, they immediately believed that the fourth child of the Li family was really having a spiritual manifestation.

The two elders of the Li family have done too much wrong and have been bullying Li Laosi's family members. Li Laosi is so angry that he can't live without a ghost.

Shen Shuangshuang said goodbye to the villagers, knowing that the next wave of gossip and rumors was already on the way...

Arriving at the mountainside, Shen Shuangshuang began to chop wood.

Mid-Autumn Festival is only half a month away, and winter will begin in just over a month.

According to the weather here, the weather will start to get cold rapidly after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She must seize the time to stock up on more firewood at home.

In this way, when winter comes, you won't have to go up the mountain to cut firewood in the wind and snow.

Not only sticks and large pieces of dry firewood, but also leaves and other fire starters.

Shen Shuangshuang quickly took action.

The master chops small pieces of firewood, such as branches from big trees.

This type of firewood is the easiest to cut and the most abundant.

As for it being raw, you can’t use it immediately when you bring it back, so the impact is not big.

Cut the firewood and put it at home. It will dry naturally after a few months. When the time comes, it will be burned like dry firewood.

An hour later, Shen Shuangshuang chopped a lot of firewood.

I saw her directly making vines from slender branches, tying the chopped firewood into bundles, and then carrying the firewood down the mountain.

Come to the foot of the mountain and put down the firewood.

He went back to pick the remaining firewood.

Shen Shuangshuang didn't go home until all eight bundles of firewood reached the bottom of the mountain and pushed the cart.

Use a cart to push all the firewood home.

The villagers were very surprised when they saw Shen Shuangshuang pushing firewood on a cart and that his small body could push so much firewood.

They all sighed that Mrs. Shen was really lucky. Now that her daughter-in-law has a better mind, she is still so capable.

After returning home, Shen Shuangshuang put the firewood into the woodshed and went to find Mr. Shen happily.
