Chapter 36 Shen Xue sows discord
Shen Xue started crying early in the morning, and Shen Shuyu felt that she seemed to have some serious illness.
"My second sister said she wanted to eat two eggs, but grandma disagreed and said she could only cook one for her. Then she started crying!" Shen Qiu felt that her second sister was really not content at all. Grandma said she would cook one egg for her, but she was still unhappy. Not only was she unhappy, but she also cried, as if her grandma had hit her.
She cried early in the morning, and anyone who saw her felt upset. Old Mrs. Shen didn't indulge her. She didn't get any eggs, and only left her a steamed bun for breakfast.
Shen Xue was unwilling to accept the defeat, but she didn't dare to challenge Old Lady Shen. She could only pick up a steamed bun and start to eat it. She looked like she was about to cry, and with her bright face, she looked quite pitiful.
If she cried like this outside, the young men in the team who had a crush on her would have been heartbroken, but this was the Shen family, and the Shen family members were already fed up with her crying at the slightest provocation.
Gu Jiandong was like a curious baby, staring at Shen Xue crying. After staring for a while, he pouted in disgust, "Shu Yu, she is crying so ugly, her nose is almost running."
Shen Shuyu: "Be good, let's not look at her, it will affect our appetite."
Shen Xue: “…” She was so furious that she wanted to hit someone and go crazy!
Shen Xue was holding a steamed bun in her hand, which was almost flattened by her. She glared at Gu Jiandong hatefully, calling him a damn idiot, who was as annoying as Shen Shuyu.
Gu Jiandong is really good at finding a backer for himself. He hid behind Old Lady Shen and said, "Grandma Shen, she glared at me!"
"Good boy, don't be afraid." Old Mrs. Shen gave Shen Xue a sharp look, and Shen Xue became obedient.
Liu Pandi began to feel sorry for her daughter, "Mom, it's just one steamed bun, how can Xue'er be full?
Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu both have eggs in their bowls, but my Xiaoxue doesn't have any. We are all granddaughters, so you are treating us too differently. Or do you think I didn't give Xiangxi a son, so you have a problem with me, and that's why you don't like Xue'er either."
"Old Third, you don't want to eat either, right? If you don't want to eat, then go back to work and don't cause trouble for me so early in the morning.
I can give eggs to whoever I want to eat. I don't owe you anything.
As for whether you can give birth to a son, I don’t care at all. I have plenty of grandchildren. " After saying that, Old Lady Shen put away Liu Pandi's bowl and chopsticks, not even leaving her half a steamed bun.
Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia were gloating in their hearts. Their third sister-in-law was both naive and talkative. She knew that speaking out would make her mother-in-law angry, but she still said, "Now, there's no breakfast."
Liu Pandi's desire to divide the family property reached its peak at this moment. With her mother-in-law in charge, the life of the third room was extremely frustrating.
With tears in her eyes, she began to wink at her man, wanting him to say a few words for her.
Uncle Shen was busy eating, so he didn't notice Liu Pandi's look. He finished a bowl of porridge in a hurry, and raised his head in confusion, "Pandi, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you having a cramp?"
Liu Pandi: "...No...Nothing!"
Uncle Shen was full and didn't want to care about anything. Liu Pandi wanted to tell him about his grievances.
"Her father..."
Uncle Shen interrupted her, "Pan Di, if you have anything to say, let's talk tonight. The work bell has rung, don't delay work."
He patted his butt, picked up the hoe, and went to work. His ears were not deaf, so of course he heard what his wife and mother said while eating breakfast. Both of them were his closest people, and he didn't want to offend either of them.
Three days have passed, and today Gu Jiandong also has to go to work. Shen Shuyu is afraid that he can't adapt, so she goes to the threshing ground with him. The threshing ground is quite large and is where the team gathers every day.
Every day when going to work, the team leader will assign tasks and let members know what work they need to do that day.
It was the first time for the new educated youth to do work, and the team leader Shen Erzhu took good care of them and arranged for them to pull weeds, a job that even a three-year-old child could do.
Gu Jiandong was assigned to cut grass for pigs. He cut four baskets a day, which was calculated as two work points. It was not a heavy job. Four baskets of pig grass a day could be cut in the morning.
Shen Shuyu brought him two large backpacks. The backpacks were woven by Old Man Shen. They were very big, but just right for Gu Jiandong to carry.
Shen Shuyu waved his hand and pointed to the road leading up the mountain. "Come on, kids, follow me up the mountain to cut grass for the pigs."
A group of little naughty kids followed Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong and ran, "Go!"
Shen Shuyu, Gu Jiandong and a group of children happily ran up the mountain.
Shen Xue, who was lying in the field, stared at their disappearing backs for a long time, her jealousy growing stronger and stronger.
She looked around and saw Shen Erniu who was silent. She walked over leisurely and said, "Erniu, what a coincidence. We are partners today. I will sow seeds later and you can spread fertilizer, okay?"
"Oh no, I've already planted one third of the seeds, and you've been slacking off and not working for a long time. Now you want to take advantage of me. Be careful or I'll tell the team leader later." Shen Erniu, who was planting corn seeds, looked up at her, brushed the dust off her hands, and the dust flew all over Shen Xue's face.
Shen Xue suppressed her anger and wiped the dust off her face pretending not to care. "Er Niu, why are you talking so harshly? After all, we grew up together.
You haven't played with Shuyu for several days. Did you two have a fight?
If we have a quarrel, you should be more tolerant and don't argue with Shu Yu. You know her temper. She has been spoiled by my grandparents since she was a child. She is selfish, domineering, spoiled and unreasonable. It's normal that you can't stand it. I will tell her later."
"Who said that Shu Yu and I had a fight? Who do you think you are? It's your turn to criticize her. Shu Yu is the best person. Get out of here. Stop buzzing in my ears like a mosquito and making me want to slap her."
Shen Erniu has been at odds with Shen Xue since she was a child. Especially when she knew that Shen Shuyu and Shen Xue did not get along, she hated her even more. This person is too good at pretending. The last time her stepmother knew about the fish, it was she who told Old Mrs. Yu.
She hasn't settled the score with Shen Xue yet, and today she even dared to speak ill of Shu Yu in front of her.
If it wasn't working hours now, Shen Erniu would have wanted to beat her up.
Shen Xue couldn't stand others saying Shen Shuyu was the best, so she started to sow discord, "Shen Shuyu is the best? If she was the best, why didn't she take the beating for you when your stepmother beat you?
If she was a good person, why didn't she give you her own eggs when you were hungry?
If she was a good person, why didn't she give you her new clothes when your clothes were torn and couldn't be worn?
You really think of her as a friend, but she actually looks down on you in her heart. She just feels sorry for you and occasionally gives you some good things."
Shen Erniu was not affected by her words. She just said "oh" and lowered her head to plant corn.
She knew best whether Shu Yu was good to her or not. If Shu Yu hadn't been there when she was a child, she would have starved to death long ago. She and Shu Yu were not blood sisters, but they were better than blood sisters. If Shu Yu needed her, she could even give her life to Shu Yu. Shen Xue couldn't sow discord between them with just a few words.
