Shen Nuo immediately called out sweetly: "Daddy."
Shen Changmian breathed a sigh of relief.
He was fishing outside, and when he heard that his daughter was sold, he kept watching and refused to let others take Shen Nuo away.
It happened that Shen Nuo was taking a nap, and the family couldn't open the pot at all. All the things were used by his elder brother Shen Dashan to pay off debts. He thought about catching fish to make do with it first, as people can't really starve to death.
But unexpectedly, not long after, I heard that my daughter was taken away by her eldest brother.
He was so frightened that he had no time to take off his backpack and ran home in a hurry.
Shen Changmian put down his backpack and stepped forward to hug Shen Nuo.
His clothes were still wet from the water stains on his backpack.
"What are you doing? Why are you all wet? Don't hold my dear grandson, what if she gets cold?" Zhong Tingyue looked at the little son up and down.
The only one in the family who can read and write, he is handsome and does have the temperament of a scholar.
When Shen Changmian heard this, he sneered, "We can't open the pot at home, so I went to look for anything to eat. I was lucky today and caught six big fish."
Strangely enough, he originally gained nothing.
Today was amazing. I caught six big fish in one afternoon.
He just hurriedly put it into the backpack and ran back.
Hearing his resentment towards the original owner, Zhong Tingyue didn't feel anything at all. She took out the five taels of silver and put it in his hand: "Give the money back to others. We don't want this money. No matter how poor the Shen family is, I won’t sell my children!”
Shen Changmian looked shocked and stared at the silver in his hand for a moment in disbelief.
The thought of not having to sell his daughter.
His expression immediately changed: "Thank you, mother!"
Zhong Tingyue's eyes also became sour, and she discovered it from the memories of the original owner.
The younger son is very talented in reading.
Due to the partiality of the original owner, he was forced to come back after staying in the academy for a while.
Work in the fields all day.
It just so happened that the original owner liked to ridicule him, saying all kinds of ugly things like he was free of charge.
Zhong Tingyue snorted lightly, immediately attracting the attention of several people.
Shen Dashan kept his eyes on the silver.
I couldn't help it at this point.
His face was full of resentment: "Mom, you asked the third brother to give money to others, what will we do in the future! You really don't want my son, right? There is no way to open the pot at home, and we will all starve to death before you are satisfied!" How could there be such a vicious mother like you!"
"You have shit in your mouth? You are such an unfilial son, why are you scolding me in turn? Isn't that enough? You are so fat and don't do any work. The dirty work at home is either your wife or you two Brother, if you have two hands, you are just as good as the pigs in the pig pen! The pigs even know how to grunt at me after eating, but what about you? All they spit out is feces!"
Zhong Tingyue could say anything when he scolded people.
Evil people like this can use violence to fight violence.
Call her vicious?
Okay, she will show them how vicious she is!
Shen Dashan's face turned red from holding it back, and he watched Zhong Tingyue pick up the stick again, without daring to speak for a long time.
The atmosphere became very silent, like the calm before a storm.
Shen Nuo's stomach suddenly growled.
Then Shen Changmian also made a noise.
The father and daughter immediately covered their stomachs in embarrassment and did not dare to look up.
Zhong Tingyue clicked her tongue, "Since the third one has caught six fish, let's cook three fish first, and sell the remaining three big ones. Boss, my wife, you go and cook them."
Zhong Tingyue did not intend to do it herself, but called Wen Jinxiu, and then waved to Shen Nuo.
The little girl immediately jumped into her arms.
Zhong Tingyue looked at the little girl's well-behaved look, and her heart moved slightly. The original boss was not doing human affairs, and she couldn't do that.
Now that she is here, she must feed herself and the family.
Only when you are full can you have the strength to reform the "naughty child"!
Shen Changmian's eyes trembled and his mouth moved.
My daughter had never been so clingy to her mother before, and instead she was a little scared.
And his mother even disliked her daughter for being a little girl and never wanted to get close to her.
"Why are you still standing there? Burn the firewood when it's time to burn it, and deal with the fish when it's time to do it!" Zhong Tingyue frowned and urged them to do it.
She was a little hungry too.
There was something to eat, and it was still meat. Shen Dashan and Shen Erhai immediately cheered, not caring about what they had just been beaten.
The smoke gradually rose, and the fish soup was about to be cooked.
A woman shouted into the courtyard: "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, is she at home?"
Wen Jinxiu immediately wiped the water drops on her hands and sweat, and walked out of the short kitchen: "Aunt Li, I'm here."
Zhong Tingyue, who heard the sound, immediately walked out holding Shen Nuo and looked forward.
Aunt Li immediately said: "Do you still have free time for the bamboo weaving last time? The town needs about ten of them, ten cents each. It's urgent. I need them tomorrow."
Wen Jinxiu was stunned and quickly asked, "Aunt Li, did they say what they want?"
Aunt Li shook the bamboo basket in her hand.
Zhong Tingyue also looked over and saw that the basket was not very big.
To hold the eggs, you need to put straw on them and hold them with your hands.
The spacing of this bamboo weaving is a bit wide. Not only that, the width of the bamboo strips is also large, so it is not particularly practical.
This kind of bamboo basket is used in this town. It is probably for a happy event. It is used as a companion for betrothal gifts or dowries. Adding some red cloth strips makes it very festive.
It is used to hold part of the betrothal gift, and it is also more suitable to let others see the strength of this family.
Wen Jinxiu stretched out her hand, touched it, weighed it, and said, "Okay, Aunt Li, I'll get it after I finish cooking."
One is ten cents, ten is one hundred cents.
This is how Wen Jinxiu saved her money, but she couldn't stop Shen Dashan from gambling.
Zhong Tingyue took a step forward and spoke to Aunt Li: "Can I use this bamboo strip first?"
Wen Jinxiu was used to being chastised, so she shuddered and gave up her position to Zhong Tingyue.
She put down her promise and concentrated on weaving a more exquisite square basket out of bamboo strips.
This is much prettier than the previous basket, and there are a few leaves around it.
There are no flowers here, so we have to use leaves instead.
Aunt Li's face was full of shock, and she touched the exquisite little basket knitted by Zhong Tingyue: "You...how did you do it?"
"No one has thought about it like this before. The leaves here will look better if they are replaced by flowers. The braiding is bigger and looks better, and it can be stacked."
Zhong Tingyue explained, but other thoughts already appeared in her mind.
This thing, with its various tricks, is very profitable, but it’s a bit labor-intensive.
Wen Jinxiu was also shocked. Zhong Tingyue had never done such things before.
Now there are so many new tricks!
She hesitated for a moment, and while Aunt Li was still observing the flower basket, she whispered: "Mom, this...this bamboo weaving can make a lot of money, more than what I made before."
