Shen Zhiyao walked to the door of Shen's house and saw many people surrounding Mrs. Yang, looking her up and down. Some of them showed disapproval, so she guessed what happened.
Mrs. Yang was crying and pointed at Shen Zhiyao to introduce to everyone:
"This is the old lady's unfilial granddaughter. Sure enough, she came back with some wild vegetables and some toadstools. I don't know who she wants to poison!"
Bai, who was the first to speak to Mrs. Yang, also helped to accuse:
"Sister Yueya, you are no longer a rich young lady. Now that you have returned to Lihua Village, you should help the family with work. What does it mean to be lazy? You..."
With a crackle, Bai shook out all the words that Mrs. Yang said to Shen Zhiyao just now.
Shen Yueya eagerly wanted to refute Shen Zhiyao: "Sixth Aunt, my sister is not like this, she is grandma..."
Shen Zhiyao shook her head and interrupted her, then placed the amaranth and gallinopsis fungi in her hands at Shen Yueya's feet.
Biting her lips, Shen Zhiyao covered her face with the cover of her sleeves, took out ginger from the space and wiped it on the corners of her eyes, crying softly:
"I...since grandma said this, I will no longer cover up for grandma."
Moving her sleeves away, tears fell from her eyes, and her face was full of grievances. She looked at everyone and said:
"Before I returned to Lihua Village, I admired my grandma, and I also held the hope that our family would be harmonious and share family happiness. But since I returned to the Shen family, my grandma kept scolding and insulting me. In less than a short time, He scolded me six times in one day.”
Old Mrs. Yang was stunned.
This bastard’s tears just fall off his face. He talks about admiration and family happiness, it’s just nonsense, and...
"I didn't scold you!" Mrs. Yang denied in a high-pitched voice.
Shen Zhiyao opened her hands and counted them: "One time for loser, four times for cheap hoof, and one time for waste. These are all the words grandma scolded me. Growing up, no one has ever scolded me, and I don't know what I did wrong. To be so insulted by grandma.”
"As for the vegetables, grandma only gave me and Yue Ya half a steamed bun in total. I thought that those who had less steamed buns would naturally have more vegetables. Who knew that after eating a few bites of vegetables, I would be scolded. If grandma If you don’t want to give Yue Ya and me a meal, just say so.”
The eyes are red and swollen, and tears are falling.
It really makes me feel pity for her, which makes people feel good and want to protect her.
Immediately, the onlookers turned to Shen Zhiyao. Moreover, Mrs. Yang's character and how she treated the children of Dachang over the years were also seen by everyone.
"Old Mrs. Yang, this is so unreasonable of you. Sister Yue Ya just came back and did some work, but you only gave her and Yue Ya two and a half steamed buns."
"Yes, there is also the matter of washing clothes. I saw it by the river earlier. Sister Ren Yueya was very serious about washing. Didn't she deliberately scratch your clothes?"
"Originally, Sister Yueya still had admiration for you, but your arrogance and curse words make people sad and disappointed."
The villagers' words to each other made Old Mrs. Yang change her face and she was anxious to say something to save the situation.
At this time, Shen Qizhu walked over from behind Mrs. Yang. She glanced at it and fell on the bundle of gallinomycetes at Shen Yueya's feet. She said loudly: "Humph, no matter what, you still want to use it." These fungi are poisoning us."
Shen Zhiyao looked at her like an idiot and did not reply to her words. She only said to the surrounding villagers:
"Dear aunts and uncles, not all fungi in the wild are poisonous, some are edible."
"For example, the one that Yue Ya and I picked the most is called gallinopsis. It has thick and plump meat and is delicious. Eating it is also very good for the human body. In the morning, I saw that there was only wild vegetable soup at home, so I wanted to find some fungi. Let your family try it and replenish their body.”
Shen Qizhu rolled his eyes: "How do you know you can eat it? Someone has eaten it to death before."
Shen Zhiyao: "I have seen relevant records in books."
After a moment of pause, she faced the villagers and continued patiently: "I can tell which ones are non-toxic. Picking these fungi can add an extra dish to each family. If uncles and aunts are worried, you can first take a look at what I have eaten tonight. After killing the fungus, you will know whether you are still alive tomorrow."
After saying this, Shen Zhiyao picked up the amaranth and mushrooms again and walked into the courtyard.
"I saw in the book that Yue Ya's sister is literate?"
"This is really amazing. Then maybe what she said is true."
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out tomorrow when we see it."
"makes sense."
As the villagers talked, they dispersed in twos and threes, leaving Mrs. Yang and Shen Qizhu alone at the door, furious.
After returning to the house and putting down the gallinobacteria and other fungi, Shen Zhiyao took Amaranth to the kitchen, preparing to boil water to wash Shen Yueyue's hair. In ancient times, there were no hair dryers, so wash it early so that it can dry before going to bed at night.
When Mrs. Yang and Shen Qizhu walked back from the courtyard dam, Shen Zhiyao had already filled the pot with water and was about to light the fire.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yang opened her mouth and cursed again, not allowing her to use water or firewood.
Click.
Shen Zhiyao easily broke an arm-thick piece of firewood.
"Grandma wants to separate the family? Separate us three sisters?"
"When did I say we wanted to separate the family?" Mrs. Yang didn't understand why Shen Zhiyao brought the topic of family separation to the forefront.
Shen Zhiyao: "In that case, there is something at home that I can't use. It's just a little water and firewood. If grandma doesn't want me to use it, she can try to stop it."
With a click, another piece of wood as thick as an arm was broken.
Mrs. Yang: "..."
Why does this bitch have two faces? He didn’t look like this at the door just now!
Old Mrs. Yang was angry again. This method of ruining her reputation was not good. She was so good at acting. How about taking action directly? It's even worse. Looking at the strength of the hooves, I'm afraid it can break the old woman's arm directly.
Unable to think of a way to deal with Shen Zhiyao for the time being, Mrs. Yang simply went back to the house to pick up the shoe soles.
After Shen Zhiyao washed Shen Yueya's hair briefly, Mrs. Liu also came back carrying a basket of firewood.
Putting down the firewood, Mrs. Liu started cooking without stopping, while her daughter Shen Xiaocao helped light the fire.
As for Xiao Yang and Shen Qizhu, one was fast asleep in the house, and the other was in Mrs. Yang's house watching Mrs. Yang work.
While Mr. Liu was cooking, Shen Zhiyao took out some gallinophilia to clean and process. Shen Yueya was next to her and followed suit.
After the two of them finished processing the gallinophilia, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.
Old Shen, Shen Yuan, Shen Baiqiu and Shen Jin and Shen Yin are back.
Obviously they also knew about Shen Zhiyao's return, so they were not surprised to see Shen Zhiyao sitting in the courtyard.
"Brother." Shen Yueya happily ran towards Shen Baiqiu.
Shen Zhiyao followed Shen Yueya and saw the figure of a slender young boy.
