Chapter 6 Killing the Chicken
Shen Mingzhu was blocked by several people's words and felt a little discouraged. Could it be that her fourth brother really was not a time traveler? Otherwise, why didn't he react at all when he heard about airplanes and the Internet?
There was an imperceptible flash of disappointment in her eyes, but Shen Mingzhu quickly became excited again. "That's great. I'm the only time-traveling girl in this world. I am indeed the chosen one and irreplaceable. Once I get the wooden sign and save the hero's brother, the hero will be easily captured."
Thinking of the handsome man in the book, who managed to stay with the heroine for the rest of her life in an ancient time when people had three wives and four concubines, and who truly doted on her and loved her so much, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your sister wanted to eat some chicken and fish, what's the matter? Can't she afford it? Why are you talking so much? Fourth brother, you are good at fighting, go catch fish for your sister after dinner!" Old Mrs. Shen felt uncomfortable seeing her Mingzhu being wronged, so she spoke directly.
Think about what the third brother just said to his daughter, "Third brother, you go too. You're so idle all day that you're getting lazy!" The second brother let it go. He even knew to protect his daughter and didn't find any work for him. He must be tired after doing farm work for a few days.
Shen Lao San, who is busy as a dog:...
Shen Lao Er who sees through everything: The third brother just never learns his lesson.
Old man Shen who was smoking silently: The tobacco bought by the boss is really good, I will ask him to bring some more next time.
"Mom and Dad, it's time for dinner!"
"Okay, let's eat!" Old man Shen put away his pipe. He had been hungry for a long time, so it was finally time to eat.
Several people carried the table and took the bowls and chopsticks, and soon the meal was ready.
Old man Shen picked up the food with chopsticks first, and then the others started eating.
Shen Mingzhu looked at the millet porridge, pickled radish, and boiled eggs in front of her and pouted her lips with some disgust, but she still started to eat. There was nothing she could do, she couldn't cook, so she had to eat these ready-made foods.
Shen Minghui gave the egg in his bowl to his wife, and took his son over, feeding him himself, letting Lin Yuxi eat first. After all, he had lost so much blood, so he still needed to replenish himself. Didn't Dad ask Mom to kill a chicken for his wife?
We’ll kill them after dinner. There’s no need for mom to do it. It’s better for you to do such a bloody thing yourself!
Lin Yuxi smiled at the egg in the bowl, and did not say that her sister-in-law had put an egg in her bowl. After all, it was her husband's intention. What if she didn't accept the misunderstanding? She was quite satisfied with this husband at the moment!
"Mom, this is for you!" Shen Lu held her egg in front of Zhao and spoke in a soft voice.
The adults around smiled, and Shen Minghua's smile was even brighter. Whose daughter is as cute as his own Lulu? She knows how to make a little cotton-padded jacket at such a young age. It's so heartwarming. "Daddy wants to eat it too. Give Daddy a bite!"
Looking at her husband who was trying to tease her daughter, Zhao rolled her eyes at him. This guy was just jealous that her daughter was partial to him. Haha, he didn't even look at who gave birth to her.
Shen Lu blinked her eyes, and seeing that her mother didn't want to eat it, she handed the egg to her father.
"My dear daughter, there's some in Daddy's bowl, please eat it!"
Shen Lu obediently took a bite. Wow, it was so delicious. It was strange that her parents didn’t want such a delicious egg.
When the family finished their meal and were about to go about their own business, Old Man Shen called everyone over and said, "Mingzhu, go apologize to your sister-in-law today while everyone is here."
Shen Mingzhu looked at everyone in the room looking at her, her expression changed, but she still spoke, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn't expect you to bump into the stone roller by chance. I'm sorry! Please be magnanimous and forgive my mistake!"
It would be better to give me the wooden sign directly, so that I don't have to think of other ways! Shen Mingzhu didn't say the last word. No matter how naive she was, she knew that this was impossible. In the original book, didn't the heroine get the wooden sign only after Lin Yuxi died?
Dead? Yes, if Shen Minghui didn't die, would Lin Yuxi die as tragically as in the original drama?
Lin Yuxi didn't know what Shen Mingzhu was thinking about. Her expression kept changing. She drank the tea calmly. As for whether she forgave him or not, she didn't say anything. It was just a polite remark. Who would care?
But Shen Mingzhu is obviously a time bomb, so she still has to think about how to deal with it! She doesn't expect this guy to be quiet, because he is a troublemaker. In addition, the original owner's mother-in-law is unreasonable and dotes on Shen Mingzhu, which is really tricky!
There is also the plot of the original book. Lin Yuxi is also a little curious and has to find a way to pry open Shen Mingzhu's mouth.
Seeing Lin Yuxi drinking the tea, Old Man Shen felt relieved. After all, they were still a family. There would be bumps and bruises. They would just pass it.
Seeing that the problem was solved, everyone dispersed to do their own things.
Lin Yuxi also returned to her room. After all, in everyone's eyes, she was still a serious patient.
Shen Minghui went directly to the backyard and picked the fattest old hen and killed it! When Old Lady Shen heard the rooster crow, she was about to explode, but then she remembered that her old daughter wanted to eat the fat chicken, so she sat down again and muttered, thinking that he had good eyesight. Old Lady Shen, who was thinking about her old daughter, completely forgot about Lin Yuxi in the west yard.
"Father and mother" Shen Mingyuan parked the carriage, helped his wife down, and turned around to take out the prepared gifts from the carriage before he started calling people.
"Uncle" and "Aunt" and several children came out first to greet them.
Li took out the freshly baked cakes she bought from Hefangzhai and handed them to the children, "Be good, take them and eat them!"
"Thank you, auntie." "Wow, it smells so good!" "It's chestnut cake."
Everyone in the room came out after hearing the noise. Old Man Shen looked at the eldest brother and his wife, who were holding the gifts solemnly, and was a little surprised. "Boss? Why are you back at this time? Didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to start the accounting?"
Shen Mingyuan saw that everyone looked fine, but when he saw the bandage on his fourth brother's wife's head, he knew that was the truth. He pulled his wife aside and said calmly, "Oh, aren't you thinking about the busy farming season at home? So you thought about coming back to help out."
"Haha, big brother, you're back late. Second brother has already finished his work, and the fourth brother and I only just started to catch up this morning."
"Really? It seems the second brother is still so capable!"
Shen Mingyuan joked with his brothers for a while, and then talked with his parents. He gave the things he brought to his wife and asked her to take them to the kitchen to help prepare lunch.
Seeing this, Xu and Zhao also rushed to the kitchen to help. When Li opened the package, they found that the eldest sister-in-law brought red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, brown sugar, black sesame and other blood-enriching things. They looked at each other and knew who these things were for.
Anyway, they were in charge of the kitchen, and the mother-in-law wouldn't come in, so they just had to tell her what they wanted to eat. They put the food in the cupboard and locked it, and they felt relieved.
Don't say it's none of your business. We are all daughters-in-law, so who doesn't have difficulties? If you don't lend a hand now, when will you lend a hand? Several people cooked and chatted, and by the way, they made the chicken soup that the fourth child wanted to cook, and sprinkled some red dates.
When the mother-in-law asked the meal to start, no one knew that there was an extra bowl of chicken soup left there, waiting for the fourth child to serve it.
