Allure of a Country Maiden

Old Shen took his sons and grandsons home. From a distance, the group saw a crowd of people standing in front of their home. They also heard shouts and curses. They thought something had happened, so they all started running. Old Shen squeezed through the crowd and saw Mrs. Shen Zhuang pointing at Ms. Li and yelling at her. Shen Yuzhu kept stepping on several lumps of flesh-like things on the ground. Ms. Li's clothes were half soaked, and she kept shaking her clothes and crying out in pain. He was so angry that his face turned black and he shouted: "That's enough, it's not over yet"!

Hearing the roar, the three of them stopped.

"Come in, everyone!" Old Shen took the lead and walked to the upper room.

"Everyone, please disperse, nothing happens!" Shen Chengyao dispersed the people at the door and closed the courtyard door.

Xiaoer's three siblings also followed Shen Chengyao in. Everyone found their place and sat down. Xiaoer quietly took a look at her eldest uncle's family. All four of them were wearing clothes made of brand new silk and satin. Her eldest uncle Shen Chengguang looked very similar to Old Shen, but he was much taller than Old Shen, about 175 centimeters tall. Although he is dressed like a scholar, because of his slightly fat figure, he does not have the elegant temperament of a scholar, but is rather nondescript.

Sitting below him is the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Jingwen. Shen Jingwen looks much more handsome. He wears a scarf and a white robe, which should be the uniform of the academy. His face is fair, elegant, and very elegant. Bookish. According to the memory of the original owner, Shen Jingwen should be pretty good at reading. He is only 16 years old and is already a child.

Sitting under Shen Jingwen is the eldest aunt Lan. She is wearing a brand new rose red skirt, exquisite makeup, beautiful facial features, a plum blossom hairpin on her head, and a good-quality jade bracelet on her hand. She looks pretty. Ladylike.

Shen Baoer sat next to Lan. Shen Baoer completely inherited the advantages of her parents. She had a peach-shaped face and fair and delicate skin. Sitting there alone, she looked graceful and beautiful. But this family of four always felt out of place sitting there.

After everyone in the family sat down in their respective seats, Old Shen said, "Tell me, what's going on, don't you know it's embarrassing?" After speaking, he glared at Mr. Shen Zhuang.

"Why are you glaring at me? That mother-in-law didn't scold Shangfang Jiewa for a day. Today, several children from the third family went up to the mountain to catch a pheasant, made soup, and prepared to honor us. This woman even dared to steal the things that honor our elders. , shouldn’t you scold me?”

"Dad, it's unfair. I just wanted to taste it. I thought my parents would come back soon, so I put it in a bowl and let it warm so that my parents could drink it. Unexpectedly, my mother and my sister-in-law misunderstood, and my sister-in-law even drank the soup. It turned over. Half of my body is in terrible pain now. Dad, you need to call a doctor for me. It really hurts." Ms. Li was in terrible pain at the moment, but she would never admit that she had eaten secretly. of. As long as she doesn't admit it, others won't be able to tolerate her. This is not a government office, and it won't be too religious.

"Bah, I wronged you. When you saw me coming back, you immediately drank a mouthful of soup and then spit it back. Didn't you just think that your saliva was in the soup and others would not dare to drink it!" Shen Zhuang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm from Li. .

"The jade beads were knocked over because they were angry. Who would have thought that they would burn you? For an unfilial and rebellious person like you, you still want to ask a doctor for you. Just dream!"

"Our Shen family can't afford a shameless wife like you who refuses to admit her mistakes. Go back to your parents' home." Shen Zhuang cursed like a barrage of words.

"Ugh, I'm not alive anymore. Shen Chengzong, you're dead. Seeing your mother-in-law being bullied into silence, I gave birth to children for your Shen family. Is it easy for me? I'll be scalded to death even if I take a sip of chicken soup. Who could ever abuse a daughter-in-law like you?" Ms. Li started to use her unique tactics, sitting on the ground and acting violently.

Xiaoer's eyes were really opened. She had never seen such a woman in her previous life.

Old Shen's head hurts. This second daughter-in-law is married to a different man, but we can't just divorce now. The eldest grandson will soon take the examination for scholar. The reputation of the family is the most important: "Okay, don't argue, old man." It's wrong for you of the second family to eat alone, so you have to feed the livestock this month. This is also a warning. You won't be able to do it next time. Bao'er, you were wrong to burn your sister-in-law. I will punish you by washing clothes for a month. "Originally, Old Shen wanted to punish Ms. Li for cooking, but Ms. Li was very casual about cooking. After eating the food she cooked for a month, she lost her appetite just thinking about it, so she just let it go.

When Shen Yuzhu heard this, she threw herself on Shen Zhuang and cried. Mrs. Shen Zhuang's heart ached: "Old man.

"Okay, do you want to punish you too? Why don't you go arrange dinner quickly?" Old Shen glared at Mr. Shen Zhuang. After years of tacit understanding between husband and wife, Mr. Shen Zhuang did not dare to speak out.

She gave Mr. Li a hard look and said, "Why don't you go cook?"

Li's body was hurting so much: "Mom, I'm not cooking today. I'm injured. I'm afraid I won't be able to do any work these days."

"What's wrong? I still can't help you. Do you have a broken arm or a broken foot?"

Mrs. Li got angry when she saw Mrs. Lan sitting there looking like she was watching a good show. She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law hasn't been home for a long time. I can barely endure the pain, but I can't stop my sister-in-law from being filial to you." Well, otherwise if there is news in the future that my sister-in-law is unfilial, it will be difficult for Brother Wen to become an official in the future."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan hated Mrs. Li, but she had to stand up and pretend to cook: "Mom, let me do it, but my house has been unoccupied for many days, and I have to clean it, otherwise How can it be good if it prevents the uncle and Guang'er from resting at night?"

Shen Zhuang was not happy after hearing Lan's words. Lan had never served her since she got married, and had only cooked for one or two meals. Now that she hadn't said anything, she was making excuses to shirk. From now on, Brother Wen Now that her son is an official, wouldn't she have more support and less control over her? I originally planned to let Mr. Li do it, but I changed my mind.

"Bao'er is not young anymore. Let her do the cleaning, and you should cook the food. You are rarely at home, and your father and I haven't tasted your cooking for many years."

As soon as Lan finished speaking, she regretted it. She had forgotten to obey Shen Zhuang for a moment. She had always obeyed before and never saw her wanting to do the work by herself.

After hearing this, Shen Baoer quickly winked at his brother and asked for help. He had never done any cleaning work since he was a child.

Shen Chengguang also came up and hurriedly stood up and said: "Master, let me go and clean up. Bao'er has not been well these two days. Her parents originally wanted her to stay in the town to rest, but she said she missed her grandpa and grandma very much. , I want to go home and spend more time with you, so I insist on following you back."

"You are a grown man, a scholar, how do you do these women's work? There is only one year left before the provincial examination. Now you must not be distracted. Studying hard is the right thing." Old Shen also understood what Shen Zhuang wanted. What's interesting is that this eldest daughter-in-law also wants to hide from her work under his nose. After thinking about it, she said: "Bao'er will have to go out in two years, and it's time to learn the work at home. Second daughter-in-law, you take Bao'er with you." Let’s clean your eldest brother’s house together.”

After hearing this, Lan's expression immediately changed and then changed back. If Xiao'er hadn't been paying attention to Lan, she wouldn't have noticed it.

Shen Chengguang also winked at Lan. Lan remembered what the family had discussed and wanted to avoid wasting time, so he knelt down and saluted Old Shen: "Dad, my wife will go down and prepare dinner first." Then. Then he said to Shen Bao'er: "Bao'er, you should learn this cleaning job from your second aunt, you know?"

Shen Baoer still listened to Lan's words, so he said aggrievedly: "My daughter knows."

Mrs. Li carried a bucket of water and took a rag. As soon as she entered the east wing, she threw the rag to Shen Baoer: "Wet the rag with water first, then wring it dry, and then put it on the kang and table just like you usually do when you dry yourself after a bath. Come on, just wipe off the dust on the cabinet. Second Aunt is in so much pain, Bao'er, please be more patient. I'll go back to the room to rest first."

Shen Baoer's face turned red with anger at Mrs. Li's words. What do you mean by wiping yourself dry like you usually do after taking a shower? It's so shameless and vulgar!

When Mrs. Li returned to her room, she saw a lot of blisters on her body. She wanted to boil a pot and pour water on Shen Yuzhu, and she changed her clothes bitterly.

After a while, Shen Chengzong also came in. Just now he secretly asked Jinghua to buy a box of burn ointment from Dr. Luo, which cost a full taels of silver!

"Here, give me some medicine. I asked Jinghua to buy it from Dr. Luo. If I give it some medicine, it won't hurt so much."

Li originally wanted to attack Shen Chengzong, but she gave up when she saw this, and only said: "Your sister is such a good girl, she is so poisonous!"

She asked again: "How much does this ointment cost?" When she learned that it was one tael of silver, Ms. Li felt that her heart hurt more than her body! It's really a pleasure to accompany my wife and defeat the soldiers.
