Chapter 222 The Aggrieved Shen

Xiu Niang came out of the main room with a smile on her face, she looked at the yard, the brothers Chu Ge and Ji Lao Liu were right in front, they presumably were talking to Ji Lao Liu about the workshop.

She had already told Chu Ge last night that the Liu family and his wife wanted to come to the shop to find work, and Chu Ge agreed at the time when he heard it. The two families are not good at first, and everyone knows the basics. Don't worry if there is something for them to do.

Chu Ge was listening to Chu Fu talking to Ji Lao Liu, when he turned around and saw Xiu Niang, he thought she had something to do and was about to go there.

Xiu Niang looked at her and waved her hands, pointed to the stove with a smile, and then left. This time, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Liu stayed in the stove, and the two of them laughed and chatted as they watched. Since Wen Shi went to the shop to help out, his temperament has improved a lot.

She thought about it, just smiled, didn't say anything, and went to the stove, because in the morning, Xiu Niang didn't know that Chu Fu and the others would come so fast, so she didn't take their share, now she has to Just add some more rice.

Father Chu and Mrs. Shen stayed in the main room for some reason and didn't come out. Even when Chu Fu called (asking Father Chu and his wife to check the house), they didn't move until a few juniors in the yard After finishing the meal, call them, and they will come out.

Xiuniang knew that this Shen family was probably angry at what she said to her in the morning, or she was angry and annoyed at herself, or she was afraid of seeing her and didn't know what to do, because at that time she was very angry with her. Mrs. Shen said that this shop belongs to her, the land deed and house deed are written in her name, and Chu Fuwen and his wife are working in her workshop. In other words, the old couple are now Living on her.

Xiuniang also knew that Shen Shi was afraid that her own attitude would harden and make her anxious, and would not let Chu Fu help in the shop, and drive them out with all their shame. She couldn't get anything, but Shen felt that if she confessed to her, she would feel bad in her heart, so she was angry and annoyed with herself.

No, Shen came out with a stinky face, what she was thinking in her heart was all expressed on her face, Xiu Niang knew it all at a glance, she smiled to herself, didn't say anything, and called everyone to eat quickly .

Xiu Niang and Chu Ge arranged the bowls and chopsticks for everyone, while Wen sat with his two little maids, Chu Fu went to the stove to bring out a bowl of porridge.

Seeing Father Chu and Mrs. Shen coming out, Chu Fu wanted to shout, but seeing Mrs. Shen's expression turned ugly, "Mother, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong?"

Sitting at the side, Shen cast a glance at Xiu Niang, who still had the same expression on her face. Holding a breath in her heart, she squeezed out a few words, "I don't have any strength anywhere!"

Chu Ge paused for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Mother, did you rush early in the morning and feel uncomfortable?"

Father Chu took a sip of gruel from the bowl, waved his hand, "Hey, it's okay, your mother is fine, she's asking for all her troubles... Oops!"

Shen slapped him, and slapped Father Chu on the shoulder, "You can't stop your old mouth with porridge!"

Xiu Niang smiled to herself, still pretending, and said, "Hey, Chu Ge, I still have ointment in my room, you go and get it for my mother-in-law to apply."

Chu Gemu replied, and was about to get up, Shen's face became even more ugly, she waved her hands and said, "Hey, no need, no need, you can't stop eating!"

When she heard this, except for Xiu Niang, everyone at the dinner table looked puzzled. In the end, it was Father Chu who spoke, telling everyone to eat quickly, and this trouble was over.

Old man Li didn't want to sit with Chu Ge's family, so he found a small table for himself, and sat outside his room with Ji Laoliu and his wife to eat. Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er looked at Old Man Li's little The table was very distressed, so they sat down with the bowl, anyway, there was no room for them to sit at this table.

Father Chu looked at all the people sitting together eating together, he was very happy, Shen Shi was angry anyway, she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she took a bowl and ate desperately, Wen Shi hugged him in his arms. There is a weaned baby, who is coaxing her to eat with porridge. Her big girl is very obedient, and she sits on the side and eats slowly.

But halfway through the meal, Xiuniang suddenly thought of something, put down the bowl and said casually, and left. Chu Ge and Chu Fu just responded and bowed their heads to eat.

Father Chu looked at Xiuniang's leaving back, pondered for a while, looked down at the soup bowl of porridge on the table, and then looked at his wife beside him.

Shen shi took a big mouthful of porridge, and suddenly realized that old man Chu was looking at her, "What are you doing!"

Father Chu pursed his lips, glanced at the juniors on the table, and said to Shen in a low voice, "You damn old woman, you boil water as the second child, I don't usually see you drinking porridge like this , pour it directly into the stomach!"

I don't know if it was influenced by Father Chu, Shen also murmured in a low voice, "You old man, I drink my porridge, what's wrong with you, you didn't make this porridge!"

Father Chu said, "What did I say when you drink porridge? I just want you to drink less. Look at the wrinkles in the bowl so you can drink to the bottom!"

Shen replied, "What's the matter, Erwazi, he didn't say anything, but you, an old talker, spoke up. Do you think I eat too much?"

Father Chu was also annoyed, "That's right! You won't save some for the kids, don't you dare to eat the food from the second child's house!"

Shen snorted, "She is stupid if she doesn't eat, I"

Father Chu frowned, "You old lady is being unreasonable, this porridge is cooked by Ren'er Lao Liu's family, and they don't know when we will come over..."

Shen took another bowl with a spoon, and said first, "Didn't the rice in the pot be added later, this is not enough to drink, it's obviously because the second family doesn't let us eat enough! "

Father Chu was really angry now, he put the bowl away, and when he was about to yell something, he suddenly looked at everyone in the yard.

He blinked his old eyes and looked over one by one. The old man Li in front of him was also looking at him with dissatisfaction. Ji Laoliu, who was at the same table with him, lowered their heads and pretended not to see them, drinking porridge desperately, thinking The louder the sound, the better, and Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er were surprised when they saw that everyone stopped eating.

At my own table, Chu Ge and his brothers were holding a bowl with blank expressions on their faces. Wen frowned, and stopped feeding the baby. Huahua sat next to Wen, blinking their black and white Big eyes, she doesn't know what grandparents are arguing about, but it sounds like it's a matter of drinking porridge or not, which made her put down the bowl and dare not move.

The baby in Wen's arms was babbling, she was looking at it for fun, but now Shen and the others stopped arguing, this little baby was about to cry with a wrinkled face.

Wenshi hugged the child and patted it lightly, coaxed him twice, and then said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you two are going to argue...can you keep your chatter quieter, it scares the baby."

Father Chu listened, and seeing Huahua's big eyes pattering at him, he quickly laughed, "Hey, Huahua, don't be afraid, drink the porridge quickly, don't let it get cold."

Shen curled her lips and snorted, seeing that Father Chu was speaking for Xiuniang, and no one was on her side, so she thought about it and said to Wen, "Hey, the second son's family is just mother." Laziness, seeing that everyone was about to finish eating, I ran away arguing, and when I finished this bowl, it still didn't fall on your head."

Wen picked up the spoon disapprovingly, scooped up the porridge and brought it to the mouth of the baby in his arms, "Hey, it's nothing, isn't the work of washing dishes just like the work in the stove? Today, the old Liu's family is here, let her help clean up."

Mrs. Shen listened for a while, hey, what's wrong with this old lady, since she didn't go with her and picked on that slut, she used to let the old lady work, it's not like killing her, now What's the matter? !
She frowned, "Hey, old man, it's wrong for you to say that, the second child's..."

Shen stopped half of what she was saying, and still pointed to the front with one hand. Chu Ge and the others and Old Chu raised it strangely, and followed Shen's pointing.

At this moment, Xiu Niang came out with a small wooden box in her arms. She raised her eyes just in time to see Mrs. Chen pointing at her, "Grandma, what's the matter, are you calling me?"

Shen Shi pursed her old mouth, cleared her throat, put down her hands and continued to drink the porridge, "Oh, cough, it's nothing."

Father Chu, Chu Ge, and Chu Fu looked at it even more strangely. Why did Mrs. Shen stop cooking when she met Xiu Niang now.

Xiu Niang also looked strange, but she didn't say anything, struggling to walk over with the box, Chu Ge looked at it and hurried over to help Xiu Niang take it.

He watched Xiu Niang come down from the second floor with the box in her arms, sweating all over her forehead, and said dumbly, "Xiu Niang, this box is thick and heavy, if you want to move it in the future, call me One sound?"

Seeing Chu Ge like this, Xiu Niang smiled secretly, "Yes, I see, I will call you next time."

Father Chu looked at it and said, "Hey, the second child, you don't eat and run back to the house, what are you doing with a box?"

After listening, Xiuniang first looked at the table, seeing that Father Chu and the others were almost finished eating, and then said, "Elder-in-law, it will be August [-]th tomorrow, and I have to pay the guys wages today."

Father Chu, because his family used to work for others for wages, now he heard that he was going to pay others for his wages. He thought it was strange. He looked at Chu Ge and Xiu Niang, and nodded with a smile. nod.

Chu Ge hugged the box and looked at Xiu Niang, "Xiu Niang, did you call for Wang Er and the others to come here today?"

"Yeah, although today is not the day to pay wages, but it will be fifteen tomorrow. We have to let Wang Er and the others have money for the holidays, and..."

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge, blinked her big watery eyes slyly, and said to Chu Ge, "Besides, we have to celebrate the festival too, don't we?"
