The best peasant woman

Chapter 3 The Wicked Ning
"Hehe, Yunmei, let's go home together." Zhang Axiu thought that after all, Chen Yunmei was still a child, so she didn't have to haggle over every detail with her.

In the three thatched houses at the east end of the village, Mrs. Xu was cooking.

In fact, the so-called rice is just a handful of rice and some wild vegetables. Anyway, Zhang Axiu almost turned into a little white rabbit after eating it.

"Mother-in-law, I'm back." Zhang Axiu knew that because the original owner was too lazy, Chen Sanlang's mother, Mrs. Xu, didn't like her very much. However, she had always been cheerful, and because she was unfamiliar with the place where she lived alone. , she can only rely on this family.

So she felt that it was necessary for her to have a good relationship with Chen Sanlang's mother Xu.

"Mother, what delicious food did you cook?" Chen Yunmei walked to the stove with a smile, and wanted to take a look at the pot, but was stopped by Mrs. Xu.

"Yunmei, there is sweet potato porridge given by Mrs. Fu next door, you can drink it while it's hot." Mrs. Xu pretended not to see Zhang Axiu, no, she didn't even say hello, she just called her little daughter to drink the sweet potato porridge .

Zhang Axiu's heart ached, the original owner was really unpopular.She even greeted you with a smile, but the old lady just ignored you.

Zhang Axiu was depressed.

But she was not idle either, she took out the grass in the basket, and went to the room where she and Chen Sanlang lived, the small room outside was the simple kitchen she had worked so hard to build a few days ago.

There was a small pot on the kitchen, and three ladles of well water were poured into it. The water quality was clear, and when the firewood was lit, it was steaming for a while.

After Zhang Axiu cut off the buttocks of the snails and washed them clean, he poured them all into a small pot, put a little salt, and started cooking.

Blowing and blowing on the stove to make the fire more intense, Zhang Axiu finally took a rest.

"Hey, when I used to eat, I always said that the dish cooked by the part-time worker was not good. The dish was too sweet. When I went to the restaurant, I was also picky. Now I just think about food and clothing. Why am I, Chu Lin, so hard?" What about it?" Zhang Axiu's eyes fell on the burning firewood, and the corners of her lips curled into a bitter arc.

Half an hour passed, and the snails in the pot began to emit fragrance.

Zhang Axiu only felt a big movement of his index finger.

Suddenly there was an old man and a young man standing outside the door, and the people who came were naturally Zhang Axiu's mother-in-law Xu and Chen's sisters.

"What's the smell? So fragrant?" Mrs. Xu sniffed the air fiercely with her nose, and looked at the small pot.

"Sister-in-law three, what delicious food are you cooking in this pot?" Chen Yunmei's attitude became better because she got to know Zhang Axiu better.

"Lazy third sister-in-law, are you going to steal other people's chickens and cook them?" Chen Yunzhi spoke in a cold tone with a mean look on his face.

Zhang Axiu raised her eyes and looked at Chen Yunzhi, with a flash of anger in her eyes. Zhang Axiu didn't have a good impression of this elder sister. Although Chen Yunzhi was beautiful, she had a rough personality and mean words. Anyway, she was not lovable. people.

And Chen Yunzhi was very hardworking, so naturally he looked down on lazy people like Zhang Axiu, so when the two met, they either looked at each other coldly or mocked each other.

"Chicken? If I stole the chicken, do I still need to cook it here? Didn't I eat it in my stomach earlier?" Zhang Axiu was being wronged by her at the moment, so her tone was not much better.

"Mother, look at the lazy third sister-in-law, she is so fierce to me, does she despise the three of us, does she see that the third brother is not at home, and wants to kick us out? Huh..." Chen Yunzhi listened Zhang Axiu refuted herself, and immediately got annoyed, her face wrinkled, as if she was about to cry.

"Axiu, Yunzhi is just caring about you. Why do you speak to your sister with such an attitude?" Seeing the heartbroken look of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Xu immediately felt distressed. How could this Chen Yunzhi be her first daughter? A daughter is naturally very precious.

Moreover, Chen Yunzhi is very capable, and can do farming and so on, unlike Zhang Axiu who is only lazy.

But then again, Zhang Axiu was kicked by the soldier, and Zhang Axiu, who came back to life again, would help her with farm work for the first time, which really surprised her.

"Mother-in-law, first, I'm not lazy now, you tell my sister-in-law and sister-in-law not to call me lazy third sister-in-law anymore. Second, I didn't steal the food in this pot, I went to the river to find it myself. Third, what I said just now did not mean to throw the three of you out of the house. Fourth, please don’t arrange me indiscriminately, Yun Zhi, otherwise, if I commit laziness again, if I lose my family fortune, then the two of their in-laws’ families will not be happy. It’s easy to find! Fifth, I cook snails in this pot, the meat is delicious, if you agree, let’s taste it together.”

Zhang Axiu said in an orderly manner, these words can be said to be both kind and powerful, but as for the effect, Zhang Axiu is not very sure.

After hearing Zhang Axiu finish those words slowly, Mrs. Xu's heart trembled. Is the seemingly dignified and beautiful woman in front of her still her third daughter-in-law Zhang Axiu?
Hearing Zhang Axiu's words, Chen Yunzhi immediately became furious and scolded, "Your last sentence made it clear that we are going to kick our mother three out of the house! You, Zhang Axiu, don't even think about it, if it wasn't for my brother being simple and honest , who would be foolish enough to marry such a lazy, lazy woman like you?"

"Eldest sister, why do you say that about sister-in-law three?" Chen Yunmei blinked her eyes, trying to persuade her, but was pulled away by Chen Yunzhi.

"Little sister, you don't understand, Zhang Axiu is full of bad water in her stomach, look, she's telling the truth, isn't she bullying us without education?" Chen Yunzhi pressed Chen Yunmei's little hand, Continue to curse.

"Yunzhi, let's go." The mother-in-law, Xu, glared at Zhang Axiu and hurriedly dragged the Chen family sisters away.

Zhang Axiu opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

It's just that before Chen Yunmei left, she gestured to her, meaning that she would come to play with her at night.

Zhang Axiu nodded slightly.

After the old and the young left, Zhang Axiu began to take the cooked snails out of the pot.

Put those fragrant snails in a rough porcelain bowl, suck the snail meat one by one.

"It's so delicious, it's really authentic." Zhang Axiu hadn't touched meat for a long time, and now she was overjoyed after eating some snail meat, and started talking to herself.

Perhaps the smell of snails drifted outside the door. Xu Shi, who was standing not far away hanging water, couldn't control her feet and walked to Zhang Axiu's door.

Zhang Axiu naturally saw it too.

So Zhang Axiu changed her mind, and hurried to fill a bowl, and handed the bowl of snails to her mother-in-law Xu. Xu looked at it for a long time, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

"Mother-in-law, it's delicious. Yun Zhi and Yun Mei's age group is growing up, and they need to eat more meat. Our family's conditions are not good, so let's make do with this snail, mother-in-law, you Take it." Zhang Axiu persuaded with a smile.
