Seeing her scolding her more and more fiercely, Shen Nanbao frowned, "Just wipe the blanket clean. Granny Wang, please don't scold Auntie too much. She didn't mean what she said."
After Shen Nanbao said this, Wang Po naturally stopped and smiled a few times, then asked where the kitchen was and they went to help.
Shen Nanbao didn't like uninvited guests, but he couldn't send them away either, so he led them to the backyard.
Xiao Yichen was still plucking his hair against the skylight. When he heard the movement, he raised his narrow eyes. His thick dark eyes crushed the sun's rays, and the darkness was filled with gold, which made both Wang Po and Chen Fang feel a chill down their spines.
Shen Nanbao, who was following behind, saw this and raised his head and said: "This is the neighbor's Granny Wang and her eldest daughter-in-law, Aunt Chen. They came here to ask for a duck leg to give to Granny Wang's daughter who just gave birth." Make some soup."
Xiao Yichen was naturally not that stingy master. After hearing this, he lowered his head again and said, "Wait until I finish plucking the hair out."
After he said this, Wang Po and Chen Fang saw the duck he was carrying, and then looked at Xiao Yichen's face. It was probably too inappropriate, and both of them looked a little surprised.
However, Wang Po was surprised after seeing her for a long time. A smile soon appeared on her wrinkled face, "That's why we came in. We are all honest people and we are embarrassed to take your things for nothing, so we I just want to say that I will pluck your hair, and by the way, I will help you sweep your yard, or help you with your grooming, etc."
Since everyone had done this, Xiao Yichen naturally didn't say anything more, clapped his hands and handed the duck over immediately.
Chen Fang took it, with a shy smile on her face that was chapped by the cold wind, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely pluck the hair out."
That smile was so sincere that Xiao Yichen, no matter how cold-faced he was, couldn't help but soften his expression a little, but didn't say anything. He just took off his apron and went back to the side to pick up an ax to chop wood.
At this time, the old lady Wang quietly walked to Shen Nanbao's side. A pair of inverted triangular eyes stared at Xiao Yichen. An unknown light flickered out, and finally fell on Shen Nanbao's face with a smile. "Sure enough, dragons are born, dragons are born, and phoenixes are born. Feng, the little lady is such a beautiful person, and my brother also likes her very much, so I just wanted to ask..."
Before the words could be spoken, Xiao Yichen in the wall room smashed open the wood with an axe, "Brother, I am her official."
The firewood was split into two halves, and there was an ear-splitting sound. Wang Po shuddered when she heard it. She came back to her senses and raised her lips, "Hey, it's all my fault for not being able to recognize Mount Tai... Xiao Langjun Don’t be surprised.”
As he said this, he turned his eyes and saw Chen Fang still holding the duck, dazed, and frowned. He raised his hand and pinched her arm, "Still there, still there! No!" See what time it is? Your brothers and sisters are still waiting for you to pluck the duck legs and make soup!"
Chen Fang was caught off guard by the twist and was so painful that she almost lost her grip on the duck.
When Mrs. Wang saw it, she scolded her even more harshly, "Are you eating dry food? You can't even hold a duck..."
With barely half a cup of tea in front of each other, Shen Nanbao heard Mrs. Wang scolding Aunt Wang three times, even though it had nothing to do with her. Shen Nanbao felt a little bit hot when she heard it. She pursed her delicate lips and immediately grabbed Mrs. Wang, " Grandma Wang, didn’t you say you would help us? It’s just right. Just now, my grandmother said that the kitchen is short of manpower..."
Wang Po was startled, and forced a smile on her angry face, "Ah, really, I came by chance."
She said that, but when she actually came to the kitchen and asked her to help peel garlic and chop onions, her hands were shaking or her arms were cramping. She also had to find an excuse for herself, "I'm too old to be useful. Sister, how can you do it?" Don’t dislike me.”
This was said to Mrs. Zhao.
Old Mrs. Zhao was ladling hot water into the pot to make soup. When she heard this, she paused for a moment, glanced at Granny Wang's face with her long-seen eyes, poured the hot water into the pot, and then sighed. He said, "Sister, we are both half-weighted and half-weighted. If I dislike you, wouldn't I dislike me?"
Wang Po's face froze, and she smiled in agreement.
Shen Nanbao was on the side and could see clearly, and immediately said: "I'm going to see if Xiao Yichen has chopped the firewood."
Then he walked out the door.
Xiao Yichen had already stacked the firewood and was hiding under the tree while stroking the baby. He looked at the sky leisurely when he saw Shen Nanbao coming out and beckoning her over like a kitten.
When people came closer, they saw her bulging cheeks and she was obviously a little angry. Xiao Yichen couldn't help but laugh, "How come? You're not good at what you do and your grandmother dislikes you?"
"How can I?"
Shen Nanbao picked an empty seat next to him and sat down. His beautiful green eyes first looked at Chen Fang who was silently plucking her hair not far away. He squirmed and said, "It's just that the smoke inside is strong and choking." It smokes your eyes again.”
The sound was carried by the wind without concealment, and reached Chen Fang's ears. She turned her head and smiled, "Young lady, such a delicate person, is not suitable to stay in the kitchen."
Although it was not the first time that Shen Nanbao heard someone praise himself, he still felt a little uncomfortable, "There is no such thing as being suitable or not. But when it comes to it, you have to bite the bullet and do it."
Xiao Yichen was listening, "Unless I die, it won't be your turn to do these dirty jobs no matter what."
He suddenly said this, which made Shen Nanbao's ears tingle, and he gave him a hasty push, "I know Hun Shuo all the time."
He glanced at Chen Fang and said, "The others are still here."
Chen Fang on the other side kept moving her hands, but her eyes showed an envious look, "Young lady, you are so lucky to have a husband who loves you so much..."
He was still proud of what he said, but when he changed the topic, he clapped his hands and picked up the duck in his hand, "It's done, I'll go get some hot soup to pour it on."
With these words, Mrs. Wang in the kitchen rolled up her sleeves and rushed out, "You crippled limbs, it took you so long to straighten them! But you made me anxious waiting for it!"
Chen Fang's feet seemed to be nailed, and she covered her head and hit Granny Wang hard. She didn't dare to cry out for pain, so she explained in a low voice: "Mom, this duck has to be pulled out one by one... …”
Mrs. Wang grabbed the duck and said, "Of course I know how to pull it out one by one. It's not like I haven't done it before, but you've been pulling it out for too long. Just look at it today. It's almost falling behind the mountain." Are you deliberately letting your siblings starve to death?"
He became more and more angry after saying this, and raised his hand to hit her again, one blow after another, getting harder and harder, "All day long, besides eating, you don't even have a swill bucket! If it weren't for the fact that you were giving birth to the boss, If you have two sons, I would have asked the boss to divorce you!"
They all said that they should sweep the snow away from the door, but Shen Nanbao couldn't stand it. He opened his mouth, but before he said a word, Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand, grabbed Granny Wang, and smiled.
"Old lady, now that you've finished plucking the hair, just break off the duck legs and take them back to make soup. Otherwise, if you continue like this, aren't you afraid that your little girl will starve to death?"
starve.
He could actually say such a thing.
Wang Po was so angry that she turned around and thought about something. Unexpectedly, she met Xiao Yichen's eyes, which were as murderous and cold as a leopard's, as if he was about to rush over and bite her throat in the next moment.
Wang Po couldn't help but suffocated, let go of Chen Fang's hand, licked her dry lips, and smiled, "Young Master is right, I'll leave right now, my little girl is still waiting for me to come back to give you something." She's making soup."
As he spoke, he picked up the duck, looked at it over and over, and finally pulled off a fat leg and ran away.
Chen Fang remained where she was, her face flushed with shame, "Yes, I'm very sorry, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Wang Po, who had run away, kicked back again, stepped on the steps and shouted at Chen Fang: "What are you waiting for? You are really going to starve your siblings to death!"
Chen Fang sighed, cast an apologetic look at Shen Nanbao and Xiao Yichen, handed the duck to Xiao Yichen, and hurriedly followed.
When he disappeared, Shen Nanbao stood under the light cast by the setting sun and said loudly: "It is better to make peace than to do this..."
This sound caused Xiao Yichen to sneer, "The world is unfair to the wife, not to mention that she has two sons involved. If she is divorced and left alone, do you think she dares?"
This tone showed the usual indifference, which made Shen Nanbao turn his eyes away and said, "Don't tell me that you have seen him apply for a utility job before."
A smile appeared on Jingci's face, and Xiao Yichen nodded slowly and said: "Of course I have seen it before. When I was doing utility work, I faced these people Zhenri Zhenri."
No wonder I was so calm when dealing with Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Peng in the Shen Mansion.
But then again.
Shen Nanbao said: "Then as you say, these ladies will just endure it like this?"
"There are some who can't bear it. But the end is not good. I once saw a lady and an official divorced, and she went out to do some small business. She didn't make any money, but she was drowned by her mother-in-law's spit. .”
Xiao Yichen said Yibi'er and handed the duck to Fengyue.
Mrs. Zhao, who was peeling garlic, raised her head and smiled when she heard what they said, "There are some good things, but not too few... After all, too many women have a difficult life. After a lifetime, it is easy to become a mother-in-law. What are the hardships and what are the hardships?" I couldn’t hold it in any longer, so I just wanted to vent it out to my daughter-in-law.”
Shen Nanbao was noncommittal, but when he went out the next day, he met Chen Fang and saw an injury on her sleeve that could not be covered.
The injury was so shocking that Shen Nanbao couldn't ignore it at all, "Auntie, what's going on?"
Before Chen Fang had time to answer, a hateful scolding came from the door, "What are you doing! There are so many clothes piled up and you haven't washed them yet! You're still hiding here!"
Shen Nanbao turned his head and saw a man with inverted triangular eyes and wearing a sandal-colored gown stepping out of the threshold. His little finger was still on his mouth, picking his teeth with his nails.
Chen Fang was trembling when she saw him, rubbing her hands back and forth, "I'll go right away. I just want to say a few words to the neighbor's lady and thank her for the duck legs she gave us yesterday."
Following these words, the man looked over, and when his dirty eyes scanned Shen Nanbao's face, his eyes lit up immediately, "Are you... the young lady who has just moved here as rumored by the neighbors recently?"
