Chapter 124 Strange Woman

 After walking forward for a while, there were indeed several houses in front of us.

As we got closer, we saw a small village appearing in front of everyone.

After getting along with everyone these days, Poria's character has become very lively.

When I lifted the car curtain and saw that there was indeed a village, I was so excited: "Girl, there is indeed a village ahead."

Shen Jintang nodded with a smile and said to Su Guang outside the car: "Let's settle here. You can go find a house and ask if you can stay overnight."

Su Guang, who was outside the car, nodded in response and hurriedly rode forward.

It is now evening, many people are cooking dinner, and the whole village is filled with smoke.

When I saw outsiders entering the village, many domestic dogs barked one after another.

This is a village with a very smoky atmosphere.

As the carriage drove into the village, someone heard the noise and opened the courtyard door to take a look.

Su Guang also rode back from the front: "Girl, we found a place to stay."

"You lead the way." Shen Jintang said to him.

Su Guang responded, turned the horse's head, and walked in front slowly leading the way.

Today's carriage was newly bought by Shen Jintang.

The coachman was also someone who could drive, bought from the dental store she went to specifically.

Today's coachman is a boy of 17 or 18 years old. He originally ran a small business at home.

Later, the business suffered losses and the partners took their money and ran away.

His father was hit hard and could not afford to fall ill, and his mother worked hard to support the three siblings.

He sold himself and worked as a boy in a wealthy family, whereupon he learned to drive.

Later, the young master of that family actually had a habit of cutting off his sleeves. He tried to get involved with him several times, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran away.

After he was caught, the result was predictable. He was beaten severely, allowed to breathe, and then sold to Yahang.

Not long after he recovered from his injury, Shen Jintang picked him up and bought him.

Shen Jintang also bought him because he was smart, didn't talk much, and could drive at a young age.

They were accommodated by a family of five.

A couple who looked to be around 24 or 25 years old, and three children of different ages.

What's puzzling is that the hostess of this family seems submissive and doesn't dare to look up at anyone.

When Shen Jintang walked past her, she hurriedly raised her head to glance at Shen Jintang, and then quickly lowered her head like a frightened bird.

This glance made Shen Jintang couldn't help but frown.

This woman has dry skin, chapped lips, and heavy dark circles under her eyes.

He doesn’t seem to be in good spirits.

But when they just come to someone else’s house, it’s not good for them to stare at them all the time.

Therefore, Shen Jintang only glanced at her and then looked away.

Their yard is very large and there are many rooms.

Mao Erlang led them into the yard, pointed to a row of side rooms on the east side and smiled at them naively: "No one lives in this row of rooms, you can live here."

Poria jumped up and down, looking at this row of rooms, and said in surprise: "Wow, there are so many rooms in your house."

Hearing this, Mao Erlang scratched the back of his head and smiled naively: "This was all built when my parents were reincarnated. Back then, there were many brothers and sisters, and there were many rooms needed. Now..."

Before he finished speaking, a seven or eight-year-old boy ran out from the west kitchen: "Dad, the pot is boiling, it's time to go down."

When Mao Erlang heard this, he quickly responded that he knew it.

He turned to look at them and asked: "Have you guys not had dinner yet? Come and eat together..."

Shen Jintang smiled lightly, shook his head, and said politely: "No, thank you for letting us stay for one night. We have prepared our own food."

When Mao Erlang heard this, he did not continue to be polite.

No one's family is having a hard time these days. In addition to having more houses, their lives are not rich either.

Seeing Mao Erlang taking the seven or eight-year-old boy back to the kitchen to work, Shen Jintang asked Bai Zhi to bring out the small stove and pots and bowls they brought.

Qingdai went to open the doors of those rooms, chose one that looked clean and bright, and said to Shen Jintang: "Girl, will you live in this room? I will make a bed for you."

Shen Jintang smiled slightly and nodded, saying "Hello."

Poria cocos helped Bai Zhi light the stove, wash vegetables and rice and prepare for cooking.

Su Guang went to feed the horses.

The seven or eight-year-old boy is Mao Erlang's eldest child, and he also has two younger daughters.

The eldest daughter looks to be only five or six years old, and the youngest daughter is no more than three years old.

The two of them watched curiously as Bai Zhi and Poria cocos lit the charcoal fire, then used a charcoal fire tong to pick up the lit charcoal fire and put it in the small stove.

"What are you doing?" The little girl about three years old looked at their movements and asked curiously.

Fuling was still young, so when she saw such children, she wanted to play with them. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "We are lighting a fire to cook."

When the two little girls heard this, their eyes widened in surprise: "Can I cook like this?"

In their impression, they always lit dry firewood under the stove in the kitchen to cook.

Poria nodded and said with a smile: "Of course."

Shen Jintang sat aside and watched Fuling and the others talking with a smile.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Fu Ling, go to the carriage and get some cakes for them to eat."

Poria responded and stood up.

The two little girls slowly walked to Shen Jintang holding hands.

"You are so beautiful." The five or six-year-old girl looked at Shen Jintang seriously and said, "You are even more beautiful than the fairy queen hanging in my mother's room."

Shen Jintang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The little girl in front of me is really cute and looks very beautiful.

Shen Jintang reached out and touched their heads, and smiled softly: "You are also very good-looking."

"Really?" The five or six-year-old girl is now at the age where she loves beauty. After hearing this, she looked at Shen Jintang with bright eyes and asked, "Do you really think I'm good-looking?"

Shen Jintang nodded sincerely.

When the two or three-year-old girl heard this, she hurriedly said: "Me too, I look good too."

Shen Jintang couldn't help laughing.

"What are your names?" She looked at the two little girls and asked in a gentle voice.

"My name is Daya, and my sister's name is Niuniu."

At this moment, Poria came over with pastries.

Shen Jintang took a package, opened it to reveal the milky-white pastries inside, and said to them with a smile: "Take it and eat it."

When Shen Jintang opened the pastry, Niu Niu couldn't help but swallowed when she smelled the aroma inside.

When Shen Jintang asked her to eat it, she quickly reached out, pinched one, put it in her mouth and took a bite.

"Well, it's delicious." She took another one and handed it to Daya's mouth: "My sister will eat it too."

Da Ya carefully took a small bite, then took it and held it in her hand. She glanced at Shen Jintang and asked softly: "Can I give it to my mother to try?"

Shen Jintang smiled and nodded: "Of course. These are all for you."
