Chapter 129 Gu Jiandong and Shen Jinbao go to Lijiatun
Worried that Mrs. Shen would not make enough buns, Gu Jiandong took a basin and filled it with two kilograms of flour.
He was not very good at kneading dough, so he just did what he was good at. He took the bacon, washed it, sliced it and chopped it, then prepared the filling step by step according to the steps given by Old Lady Shen.
Shen Chunling couldn't lie on the kang, so she got up and went to the kitchen to help, but she found that Gu Jiandong was of no help to her at all, as the kid had done all the work he was supposed to do.
This boy is tall and handsome. Shen Chunling has never seen such a good-looking boy. He is obedient but also has a lively look in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Jiandong go out, she sat next to Old Lady Shen and said, "Mom, didn't you say that Jiandong would get better?
If he gets better, I think Jiandong and Shuyu will be a good match. "
People outside say that her eldest niece is useless, but Shen Chunling has a filter for her eldest niece. She thinks her eldest niece is good in every way and only an outstanding guy like Gu Jiandong is worthy of her eldest niece.
As long as Jiandong recovers, he might be able to return to the army. If he does, his future will be bright, and her eldest niece won't have to worry about her livelihood if she marries him.
What the second daughter said was exactly what she was thinking. "Let's wait until Jiandong gets better. If the two kids really want to get together, there's no need for us to bring them together.
If the two children don't have that intention, there's no point in us bringing them together."
The partner has to be someone that suits their taste. As elders, they cannot force their children to do something in the name of doing it for their own good.
The mother and daughter sat by the stove and talked, while Shen Shuyu lay on a recliner in the yard, eating a tomato and recalling the original plot.
In the original story, Shen Chunling married Wu Dawei from Zhangjiatun next door. Compared with other rough guys, Wu Dawei was quite handsome, and Shen Chunling was obsessed with looks, so she was infatuated with him.
She followed whatever Wu Dawei said, and strictly followed Wu Dawei's words as if they were imperial decrees.
With such an obedient wife, Wu Dawei treated Shen Chunling well. At least he had never hit her. Of course, his kindness to Shen Chunling was limited to not hitting her.
Nowadays, any man who doesn't beat his wife can be called a good man.
Wu Dawei is a foolish filial son. He listens to whatever the two elders of the Wu family say. He outsources filial piety to Shen Chunling with just a few words. If the two elders are not satisfied, Wu Dawei will give his eldest son a look and start PUA Shen Chunling.
Once this woman starts to fall in love, her IQ drops to almost zero. No matter how the Wu family tortures her, she works hard without complaint.
The two sisters-in-law kept finding fault with her, and she thought it was her own problem.
She kept her spine low, and no one in the Wu family looked up to her.
As his children grew up, Wu Dawei also grew tired of Shen Chunling and began to grow bolder. He often secretly had an affair with widow Yang from the same village.
By chance, the two were hugging each other and making love in a grove. Shen Chunling saw them and could not accept it for a moment. She spat out a mouthful of blood, slowly fell to the ground, closed her eyes, and passed away.
Logically speaking, a spit of blood would not kill Shen Chunling, but she had been overworked for many years and her body was already seriously damaged. If she was attacked by anger, her body would not be able to withstand it.
Wu Dawei and Widow Yang were vicious people. They were afraid that Shen Chunling was still breathing, so they covered Shen Chunling's nose with their hands for a while.
After making sure that she was dead, Wu Dawei asked Widow Yang to go first. He picked up a stone and smashed it on the back of Shen Chunling's head. Then he picked up Shen Chunling and hurried to the barefoot doctor.
The explanation she gave to everyone was that she was carrying firewood up the mountain and didn't pay attention to the road she was walking on, so she hit her head on a rock.
In order to maintain his image as a good man, he kowtowed to the village barefoot doctor with tears in his eyes and begged the doctor to save his wife.
Barefoot, Wu Dawei snorted Shen Chunling's nose and shook his head helplessly. He desperately held Shen Chunling in his arms and walked home step by step. When he got home, he threw Shen Chunling's body on the ground like trash.
After a brief conversation with her family, she threw Shen Chunling's body into the mountains to feed wild animals at night.
Not even a straw mat to wrap her!
By the time the Shen family discovered something was wrong, Shen Chunling's body was gone.
When I was reading the novel, I saw that Shen Chunling had such an ending, but I edited a short essay of more than 500 words to express my anger at the Wu family.
Shen Chunling is a bit love-sick, but nothing else is bad. She is very kind to her family and the original owner.
Such a good person shouldn't have ended up like this.
Shen Shuyu thought that even if Shen Chunling didn't come back for the banquet, she would still go and pick Shen Chunling up to stay for a while and let her recuperate at home.
As for the Wu family and Widow Yang, she has plenty of ways to deal with them.
The dough needs time to ferment, so Old Mrs. Shen covered the dough with a cloth and went out when it was time to go to work.
Shen Chunling wanted to go to work together, but she was scolded by Old Lady Shen and she finally obeyed.
But she couldn't stay idle at home. She cleaned the yard and went to the woodshed to stack the firewood that Shen Jiaguo hadn't had time to stack. She tidied the woodshed thoroughly.
Shen Shuyu couldn't bear to see this, so she pulled her to sit down, "Second Aunt, you should take a break. Living at home is for you to enjoy a peaceful life, why do you keep finding work for yourself?"
"As soon as Second Aunt rested, she felt uncomfortable all over."
Shen Shuyu: “…” Shen Chunling has the spirit that labor is the most glorious, which a layman like her will never understand.
"Second aunt, I'm very bored. Please sit down and talk to me."
Shen Chunling went to wash a cucumber for her niece, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"Wu Dawei is old and scumbag now. Second Aunt, why don't you consider changing a man? I will find you a better one."
Shen Chunling patted her niece gently and said, "What are you talking about, kid? In this life, I only like your second uncle."
"What if he did something to offend you?"
Shen Chunling was stunned for a second, then shook her head, "Your second uncle is not that kind of person. He is very kind to me. When I came back, he gave me 10 cents to buy things to honor my parents."
Shen Shuyu: “…” It’s hard to talk to her second aunt when she’s in love, so she can only give her a drastic change in a few days.
Now Gu Jiandong is the king of the children in the village. Whenever he goes out, he rides his bicycle, puts white radishes in the basket, and then his friends take turns riding behind him.
He went out to play for a while and came back to ask Shen Shuyu if he could go to Lijiatun.
"What are you doing in Lijiatun?"
"It's the little fat boy who wants to see his sister. The little fat boy goes to work every day, and after work he has to go back to take care of his mother. Now he wants to walk to Lijiatun to see his sister. He is so tired, and I don't want him to be that tired."
Shen Shuyu knew how sensible the little Shen Jinbao was. Ever since Wu Hua was severely beaten by those old widowers last time, she has been unable to work and has to rely on others to take care of her.
Shen Jinbao was only eight years old. Every day he went to the fields to do some work within his ability and earned one or two work points.
Erniu said that Shen Jinbao often secretly went to Lijiatun to see her, and he wanted to go see his sister again today.
Shen Shuyu packed half a pound of dried mushrooms in newspaper and said, "This is for Erniu. You take Shen Jinbao to Lijiatun. Don't play too late, come back early."
