Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 9

Faced with the question from his brother-in-law, Shen Fuhai didn't know what to say.Farmers don't pay much attention, and his brother-in-law also sells buns.If he nodded at this moment, wouldn't it be slapping himself in the mouth.

Cheng's face was gloomy, and seeing that her husband didn't speak, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your second brother and I are also doing it for your own good. It's not that simple to do business. There are many ways here, and if you are not careful, you may lose money." .Besides, when other people in Yunlin Village mention it in the future, they will inevitably make irresponsible remarks.”

Inside and outside the words, Shen Fuhai's statement was rounded up, and he made it clear that his hard work was for their own good, and he didn't forget to curse their family for losing money.

Yiyou has heard too much of this kind of exaggeration, and she knows Erbo's family very well, she is very competitive, and she can't see anyone better than them.But they are greedy, and they want to squeeze some oil and water from the fingers of these poor relatives.My father is very skillful. In my previous life, I also wanted to do some craftsman's work in my spare time, but every time I brought it up, my second uncle rejected it.

Now that the same trick is being used again, she only feels her suppressed anger rushing up.In her previous life, she had a delicate temper, and she asked herself that she had never harmed the Erbo's family, so why did this family focus on plotting against her.The past is vivid in his mind, but the evil fire in his heart can't be suppressed no matter what.

"Father, mother, it's time for the steamed stuffed buns to come out. The second aunt is here too, you and the second uncle are here in the middle of the night, are you busy?"

With the same question, she looked up at the starry sky with an even more innocent expression.Cheng's nails were stuck in the palm of her hand, she was cheated by this dead girl for five years, she felt ashamed when she thought about it.

After waking up in the middle of the night, coupled with the successive setbacks, Shen Fuhai also lost his temper.Facing the niece who was the culprit, he said sharply, "Why should a child interrupt when an adult talks. Fourth brother, you have to take care of me, it's really not decent."

Seeing that the long story was about to start, Mrs. Li was about to settle the old and new grudges together, when she heard this, she hurriedly protected her daughter behind her: "Second brother, what kind of words are you talking about, and what did Erya say to offend you? It would be a shame to greet you kindly." It's over! She is an unmarried girl, what is your intention to slander her so loudly?"

What he said made Shen Fuhai speechless, and at this moment he also felt that something was wrong.The fourth younger brother and daughter-in-law have always been soft-spoken, but now they look like Cheng's tigress.

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly came out to persuade the fight: "Your elder brother is also in a hurry because of the family study, and the second brother is not in a hurry to do business. I think these buns should be used by our clan first."

It's too soft to grab it directly!And with such a high-sounding excuse.

Yiyou was puzzled and said: "Father, the clan has something to do, didn't you say you have free time today?"

Shen Fuxiang also thought about it, combined with what his wife said last night, what else did he not understand.He's just not good at words, not without brains: "Yes, second brother, I just wanted to ask you what's going on."

Cheng explained: "The day before yesterday's clan meeting was halfway through, and was interrupted by the officials from the county government. The affairs of the clan are all important matters, and we can't talk about half of them. Time is running out, and I am thinking about calling for help .Fortunately, with these steamed stuffed buns, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need."

As soon as Yiyou heard it, she knew she was lying. How could there be no news about such a big matter before.She really underestimated these two people, she could still blushed without blushing and her heart beating when she opened her eyes and told nonsense.She was blind in her previous life, so she only felt that everything Cheng said was right, and she added fuel to the fire.

Once again, she will never let them succeed.Looking at the white belly in the east, Yunlin Village is not big, and Changsheng can come back without waiting for dawn.Let's endure this for a while, and wait for her to attack the vital point again.

"Mother, take out the buns first, otherwise it's not good to over-steam them."

Li's hand was tightly held by his daughter, and he suppressed the words, but the smile on his face did not change: "Second sister-in-law is the most skillful hand, I am worried about the lack of manpower, please help me."

Although Cheng is a village woman, as the wife of the patriarch, she is considered to have a reputation and status.In the Shen family's ancestral house, there is a fire-burning woman who does rough work, and she hasn't been in the kitchen for a long time.At this moment, being yelled at by my sister-in-law, it is indeed a bit difficult to get off.

Yiyou raised the corners of her lips, and shouted impatiently: "Second aunt, mother, come in quickly, or the heat will be over."

After she finished speaking, she dragged Li Shi into the kitchen, and Cheng Shi gritted her teeth and followed.

Seeing the third figure coming in, Yiyou calculated the timing and lifted the lid of the pot when Cheng was closest to the steamer.The scorching water vapor splashed on his face, making it painful.

"Hiss." Cheng cried out in pain.

Yiyou picked up the lid of the pot and threw it at Cheng's body.The lid is iron with some rough edges.After years of use, it was stained with oil. Because of time constraints, Li Shi only had time to clean the inside, but the outside was still a bit dirty.

Cheng's hands were covering her face when she saw a black object flying towards her, but she had no time to reach out to stop it.In desperation, she called out loudly: "Shen Fuhai, come and save me."

Reflexively dodging to the side, she suddenly felt that she had stepped on something.His feet slipped and he fell to the ground.

"Mom, it's really hot and painful."

When the 15-year-old girl's voice was high-pitched, Yiyou's voice was so forceful that it completely overwhelmed Cheng's call for help.Hearing the movement, two brothers from the Shen family outside came in.

After a while, the moisture dissipated, and Cheng looked at Li who felt sorry for blowing fingers to his daughter, and couldn't breathe.The second Shen family brother who heard the commotion inside came in, and this was what they saw.

Cheng was squatting in the earthen pot with stuffing, covered with a large black pot lid.Mrs. Li bent down and grabbed Yiyou's hand. Yiyou's eyes were red when she saw the two running over.

"Father, it's really hot. Look, my hands are blistered."

Li's distressed eyes were red: "Second sister-in-law is standing beside me, I can't move, so I can only let Erya take the blame. I never thought that she would be burned like this."

Yiyou stretched out her finger, and quickly glanced at the earthen pot under Cheng's.She had a miscarriage for the first time in the Chen Mansion in her previous life, because the maid accidentally fell and landed on her.When she heard Cheng's voice and went out just now, she subconsciously moved her position according to the order in her memory.

The kitchen was not big, so she and her mother stood closest to the pot, naturally squeezing Cheng into the corner where the pots and pots were placed.A series of intentional actions have caused the current tragedy.Now the crockpot was moved, and the two of them were not in the same place, and all the evidence disappeared without a trace.

Shen Fuxiang's chest rose and fell violently, and Er Ya's still in shock reminded him of how she was when she was fished out of the water a few days ago.The whole person looked at her in disbelief, his eyes full of grievances.

Shen Fuhai helped Cheng Shi up, widened his eyes and taught Li Shi a lesson: "Brother and sister, you are really serious, Erya hurts so much."

Cheng fell to his tailbone, and his face was also burned, excruciating pain from top to bottom.Since Shen Fuhai took over as the patriarch, it was the first time in 20 years that she was in such a mess.With resentment in her heart, she beat the drums aside: "Yeah, this is really not easy. The second brother and sister, we are dear sisters, it's okay to fall on me. Erya is still young, like last time, what if there is a good or bad? manage."

Yiyou doesn't know how to be angry anymore, it's because their family has been so talkative all these years that Erbo's family dares to run on them by talking inside and outside.

"Father, it's not that mother scalded me, why the second uncle and second aunt always blame mother."

Shen Fuxiang lowered his head in shame and indignation, clenched his fists, and the red-eyed Li Shi said, "Don't talk nonsense, Erya, be careful that your uncle says you are ugly. Your second aunt fell down by herself and is in pain. Mother was said to be two Nothing."

"Fourth brother and sister, what are you talking about? I just cared about Erya, and I was robbed by you like this."

Cheng Shi was half angry and half angry, and his tone was just right.

Yiyou imitated her tone: "My mother is also concerned about the second aunt, and the second aunt has always been tolerant, how could she care about such a small matter."

Mrs. Li: "Second Ah, come to Mother's side, your child is just an intestine. Your Second Aunt is such a humble person, no matter how tolerant she is, she can't tell it."

Anyone with a long brain can tell that this is an irony, and being robbed one after another, Cheng felt a sip of water choking down his throat, and he couldn't get up or down.

But when she saw the big shiny steamed bun, she reacted immediately, Shun Shun her chest: "They are all relatives, don't talk about this, hurry up and get the steamed stuffed bun out of the pot, or it will be cold later."

It's all like this and still hasn't forgotten to count them, Yiyou finally understands why these two people can hold the whole Shen family firmly in the palm of their hands.Just like the bandits that Chen Deren told her in her previous life, they bully the weak and fear the hard, with thick and dark skins, and use any means to achieve their goals.In the long run, the strong people will naturally follow them to eat meat, and the weak people will not have the mind and ability to resist at all.

Free labor, no need for nothing, Yiyou said: "Then it will trouble the second uncle and the second aunt."

The baskets were brought up, the cage cloth was placed on the ground, and the buns were picked out one by one.The last pot came out, and 200 buns were neatly placed in four baskets, exuding a tempting fragrance.

Shen Fuhai wiped the sweat from his brow, and greeted Shen Fuxiang: "Fourth brother help me, we brothers move to the ancestral house."

Cheng followed up: "The uncles and brothers in the family will definitely remember your family's goodness after eating steamed buns."

The moon gradually disappeared in the sky, and the Venus brightened up. Yiyou glanced out of the window, wondering why Changsheng hasn't brought anyone back yet.With Erbo's style of acting, this business will definitely not be possible with only their family today.

Shen Fuxiang also wiped off his sweat, bowed his head and said in a low voice, "Second brother, this bun is for sale, you should find someone else from the clan."

Shen Fuhai looked surprised: "Fourth brother, didn't we make an agreement. I'll clean it up for you, so why don't you change your mind?"

Li argued hard: "Second brother, we never promised."

Cheng didn't care about the pain and fatigue: "You didn't refuse, and for the sake of the clan, isn't this what it should be?"

Yi You was anxious, if this fight continued, it would be a waste of time if she won in the end.What's the matter with longevity, you won't forget to play on the road, right?Seeing that the second uncle's hands were all on the basket, and he was talking about clan carelessness with a smile on his face, he actually wanted to grab it.

Picking up the pole at the door, she was just about to block the door when she saw two figures, one big and one small, in the distance.The youngest was the Changsheng he was familiar with, and the oldest was none other than the most upright second uncle of the Shen family.

As soon as her body softened, she supported the pole and stood up.As long as the second uncle comes, everything will be easy.
