Chapter 18 Liu's Trouble

After paying the money, Lin Shugen said he would go back to the county office to apply for the land title in a few days. Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin returned home and began to continue their daily pickling and brewing work.

After Grandma Lin came back, she heard that the Mu family was going to buy land and build a house, and she was very happy for them.

The Mu family lived halfway up the mountain last year, and their youngest son almost died from an illness in the winter. Now he has been defrauded of so much money by Mrs. Shen, and his life is almost unbearable!

Now that Shen Yunxi has married, the life of the Mu family has become better!

When Grandma Lin went out to work, she didn't forget to tell people, and she even felt that Shen Yunxi was a lucky person!

The words were unintentional but the listener had a heart. These words soon reached the ears of Old Mrs. Shen. Old Mrs. Shen cursed loudly at home. Shen Yunxi had money to build a house and was unwilling to help her parents' family.

She said Mu Chengjin would freeze to death. If this money was given to her Shen family, her life this winter would be much easier!

After hearing this, Ms. Liu's face looked particularly ugly. She was beaten so badly by Shen Erfu that she lay in bed for a long time and couldn't get out of bed. Shen Pingping gave her some food, and she regained some strength.

But the hurt on her face was still very frightening, and coupled with her expression at this moment, Shen Zhenxing was so frightened that Shen Zhenxing hurriedly hid in Shen Pingping's arms.

Early the next morning, Xia Yifan's luxurious carriage appeared in the village again, and the village became lively again. Shen Pingping, Shen Xiujuan and Xu Zihui all came out to see it, hoping to win the favor of this rich young man.

But this time they were disappointed. It was the strong man who got off the carriage this time, not Xia Yifan.

Shen Pingping wanted to work, but she hurried back without seeing Xia Yifan. Shen Xiujuan pouted and walked back slowly unhappily. Only Xu Zihui, who didn't want to give up, kept standing next to the carriage and watching.

The strong man who came down was Manager Hong. Because the tofu and beans are not strong and require wooden frames when transporting them, it is too heavy for people to carry on their backs. So yesterday Xia Yifan discussed with Shen Yunxi and the others that Qingfeng Tower would let the carriage out early every morning. Come and pick up the goods, and the payment will be done on the spot every day.

The Mu family provided twenty kilograms of tofu, twenty kilograms of bean sprouts, and ten kilograms of bean sprouts every day, with a total income of one thousand two hundred cash. Among them, the price of bean sprouts was twenty cash per kilogram.

Xia Yifan is very smart. He can see that there is more water in the bean brain than tofu, so he lowers the price!

But bean curd is prettier and smoother than tofu, so when sold from Qingfenglou, bean curd is more expensive than tofu!

Mu Chenglin kept the one thousand coins and gave the remaining two hundred coins to Shen Yunxi.

Xu Zihui saw from a distance that Mu Chenglin carried out many wooden frames and put them into the carriage. She didn't know exactly what was inside. After the carriage gradually moved away, she went back unwillingly.

Many people saw the Xia family's carriage coming to the Mu family to deliver goods. The Xia family just came to deliver goods two days ago, and now the Mu family has started delivering goods. The Mu family has actually started doing business with the Xia family.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the village, saying that Shen Pingping and Mr. Liu had no eyesight, and that such a good marriage would knock out their stepsister and marry them instead.

Shen Yunxi was asked to marry here, but Cui Xiucai, who wanted to marry over there, didn't take her seriously. This was simply a waste of water in a bamboo basket!

Some people even regard Shen Pingping as a negative example to teach their daughters not to do this when looking for a partner, otherwise they will get nothing in the end!

Mrs. Liu finally couldn't sit still, so she dragged her injured body step by step to the halfway point of the mountain.

Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin were busy at work. After eating pickled fish last time, Xia Yifan was very interested in pickled cabbage, so they started collecting vegetables again and pickled a jar every day.

There is also a jar of vinegar that must be pickled every day, and a batch of bean sprouts must be soaked every day.

In addition to sauerkraut and vinegar, Shen Yunxi also started making soy sauce and soybean paste, and Mu Chenglin helped her.

Aspergillus oryzae is needed when brewing soy sauce and soybean paste. Shen Yunxi always finds an excuse to drive Mu Chenglin away. Mu Chenglin always walks away happily now. When he comes back, Shen Yunxi Yunxi has already mixed the soybean flour and Aspergillus oryzae.

In fact, if you look carefully, you can still see that the flour on the soybeans is a bit darker, but he didn't even ask.

Now the entire backyard is filled with various jars, and Shen Yunxi feels very fulfilled.

Unexpectedly, she, who had never cooked before, would cook so many different ingredients again and again after memorizing these recipes over and over again.

Shen Yunxi took out the jar of sour beans from the corner. After so many days, the sour beans were ready!

Today at noon, I asked Mu Chenglin to fry bacon with sour beans.

Mu Chenglin took away the pickled beans and was about to get the bacon when Mrs. Liu knocked on the door of Mu's courtyard.

Shen Yunxi thought that the food delivery person was coming, so she went to open the door and found that standing at the door was Ms. Liu with a hurt look on her face.

What is she here to do?

Shen Yunxi didn't want her to come in, but Mrs. Liu immediately saw Mu Mu who was dressing a large family in the yard. There was a lot of cloth in front of Mu Mu, all of which had just been cut!

Madam Liu smiled and greeted Mother Mu directly. Mother Mu had no choice but to put down what she was doing and stood up to welcome Madam Liu in.

Mrs. Liu greeted her mother with various greetings, "I heard that A Lin went to the street a few days ago and bought a lot of cloth. Now he is making autumn clothes!"

Seeing Liu's attitude, Mu's mother was a little uncomfortable, but she stretched out her hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. She still replied politely, "Yes, it will get cold soon, and this girl Yunxi only has a few old clothes." How can a girl do a dowry without a few clothes?"

Ms. Liu didn't seem to understand what Mu Mu was trying to say, "My Pingping is also a good clothes maker, let her help you! You need to protect your eyes as you get older. What are you going to do with so many clothes?" It’s time!”

When Mrs. Liu said this, Mu Mu seemed to understand a little. Mrs. Liu deliberately said Shen Pingping because she felt regretful because they were living a better life now. The latter sentence actually pointed out that Shen Yunxi didn't even have any clothes. If you know how to do it, you are not a qualified daughter-in-law.

"Our Mu family's daughter-in-law does not need to be able to make clothes, as long as she is beautiful, well-behaved and doesn't cause trouble like Yun Xi!" Mu's mother also put away her smile and said a little unhappy.

The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became tense. Mu Chenglin was minding his own work, while Shen Yunxi asked Mu Chengjin to go back to the house.

Mrs. Liu continued, "We have thought about the marriage between A Lin and Ping Ping, and it is quite good. When will our two families discuss a time for Ping Ping to marry us?"

Shen Yunxi laughed out loud immediately. Mrs. Liu turned around and stared at Shen Yunxi. That look, like a poisonous snake, made Shen Yunxi's whole body goosebumps.

This Liu family, couldn't have been beaten stupid by Shen Erfu, right?

Mu Chenglin, who had been working, raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Liu with a bad look. Mu Mu even lowered her face and said, "Ms. Liu, is there any other marriage between Shen Pingping and my A Lin? Marriage." That day, you beat Yun Xi up and stuffed her into a sedan chair, and we haven't even settled the matter with you yet!"

Mrs. Liu didn't care about Mu Mu's attitude, "So I made a mistake. If I try it again, Shen Yunxi will return to the Shen family and marry Pingping!"

"I don't agree!" Mother Mu stood up and wanted to send Mrs. Liu out.

Mrs. Liu seemed not to notice, "Originally, this engagement was between Pingping and Alin, so Pingping should be allowed to marry in! Otherwise, wouldn't you have lost the one hundred and twenty taels of silver?"

"We don't want the one hundred and twenty taels anymore. Let's use the money to teach us a lesson. Yunxi is very good. Her name is also written in the marriage certificate. Our Mu family can't let her go, nor can we let Shen Pingping Marry in!" Mu Mu's attitude was extremely determined. It was the first time that Shen Yunxi saw her talking to someone like this.

Mr. Liu stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her body, "Since you are interested in Shen Yunxi, why did you say it was my Pingping when you hired her?"

"That's not because you beautify your daughter outside and make us mistakenly think that Shen Pingping is really that good. Now that so many things have happened, do you think we can still like Shen Pingping?" Mu Mu also said Instead of dealing with Mr. Liu, he directly exposed Shen Pingping's face to the public.

"It's my business how I beautify my daughter. When you hired Shen Pingping, you have to be responsible. Since you can't let go of Shen Yunxi, let's do this. Pingping will be the wife and Shen Yunxi will be the concubine. Anyway, She was put into a sedan chair, so it’s normal to be a concubine!”

Shen Yunxi almost laughed. She wished she didn't have melon seeds in her hands, otherwise she could really eat melons quietly.

Is Mrs. Liu crazy? Shen Pingping is the head wife and she is the concubine? The Mu family has to be crazy to agree!

Besides, now Mu Chenglin has also seen Shen Pingping in person. With Shen Pingping's face, she doesn't believe that Mu Chenglin can talk about it!

Mu's mother was so angry that she didn't react for a while. Mu Chenglin threw the bacon in his hand into the water and said, "Impossible, I, Mu Chenglin, will never take a concubine in my life!"

Shen Yunxi raised his eyebrows, this guy can do it, he has a future!

When it comes to taking concubines, Mu Mu and Mu Chenglin's eyebrows are filled with haze. Sure enough, there is a story!

Seeing that the Mu family was in trouble, Mrs. Liu felt very regretful. If she had not written Shen Yunxi's name on the marriage certificate, she would still be able to make some noise if she came to make trouble today.

But for Cui Zixuan, she and Shen Pingping did a great job, just because there was no way back for Shen Yunxi!

But she has no regrets at all. Shen Yunxi is not her biological child. Shen Pingping is her precious daughter. Whether Shen Yunxi is living well or not has nothing to do with her!

"Since you are unwilling to be responsible for Shen Pingping, then you should pay for it! In addition, I entered the Shen family when Shen Yunxi was six years old and raised her for six years, so you can pay me the compensation as well!"

Money again? Could it be said that Mrs. Shen brought Mrs. Liu here? Shen Yunxi couldn't help but doubt it!

Mu Mu and Mu Chenglin didn't speak. They wanted to see what Mr. Liu wanted.

"The land at the foot of the mountain is just right. Because of this incident, Pingping's reputation in the village has dropped. It will be even harder to find a good home in the future!"

"Shen Yunxi didn't have a mother since she was a child. She was raised by my stepmother. She should be filial to me!"

“This land just makes up for us!”

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she looked up at the sky. Mu Mu turned back and continued making clothes. Mu Chenglin continued to wash the bacon. Shen Yunxi wanted to hold back her laughter.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open violently, "Ms. Liu, are you too shameless?"

Shen Yunxi turned around and saw that it was Yang Xiaomi's mother, Aunt Yang. Aunt Yang had carried a lot of vegetables and came to deliver vegetables to their family.

"When Mu Chenglin hired her, she was talking about Shen Pingping. But you didn't want to get married and wanted the bride price, so you injured Yun Xi and stuffed her in."

"Now that I see that the life of the Mu family is getting better, if you don't talk about the things you did, and repeatedly emphasized that the person you are engaged to is Shen Pingping, then why don't you talk about the bad things you and Shen Pingping did, stealing your step-sister's marriage? "

"And let Shen Pingping be the wife and Yun Xi the concubine. No one wants a concubine like Shen Pingping!"

"Besides, let's talk about the old lady of the Shen family. Shen Yunxi's growth is the result of the Shen family and has nothing to do with you, the Liu family. Why do you want to take the credit from the old lady?"

"You have the nerve to talk about the land that the Mu family wants to build a house on. If this is the case, who will dare to marry a daughter of the Shen family in the future? If you marry a daughter of your Shen family, you will also have to take possession of the whole family!"

Aunt Yang listened outside for a long time, and she really couldn't listen anymore!

She was not there the day Shen Yunxi was injured, but now that she sees Shen Yunxi living a better life in the Mu family, she is also happy for her!

After hearing what Aunt Yang said, Ms. Liu's face looked a little unnatural, but she still stayed here and didn't want to leave!

Shen Pingping struggled with her for a long time, but got nothing. She also ruined her daughter's reputation, and she was beaten half to death by Shen Erfu.

She was very unwilling to get some benefits.

If Mu Chenglin hadn't approached Shen Pingping in the first place, these things wouldn't have happened! She would have thought of other ways to rob Cui Zixuan.

But it was Mu Chenglin who approached Shen Pingping from the very beginning, and that was why things got into this situation.

The most disgusting thing is that they only knew that Mu Chenglin's family was so poor that he couldn't take the blame after he paid so much as a bride price, but Mu Chenglin never told them that he still had many prescriptions in his hand.

If they knew this, they would definitely not let the Mu family go so easily, and Shen Pingping and she would not be in such a miserable situation!

So Mu Chenglin is the culprit!

Aunt Yang scolded her for a long time, but Mrs. Liu still stood still in the middle of the courtyard. Shen Yunxi stood up and said, "Aunt Yang, go call grandma over and ask grandma if she asked the stepmother to come to my house to ask for land! "

"Publish this matter to the village and see who dares to have contact with the Shen family in the future!"

When Aunt Yang heard this, she immediately turned around and started to walk down the mountain. When Mrs. Liu heard this, she quickly chased after her. She couldn't let Mrs. Shen know about it. If she knew about it, she would definitely be beaten to death!

Old Mrs. Shen has already warned that the Mu family must slowly figure it out. As long as they are still in Qingmu Village, this recipe will belong to the Shen family sooner or later.

It's just that Mrs. Liu was unwilling to give up. She wanted to turn these recipes into Shen Pingping's in advance, so she dragged herself to the mountainside!

Aunt Yang walked very fast. Mrs. Liu was injured and could not catch up with Aunt Yang for a while.

After Mrs. Liu left, Shen Yunxi felt in a good mood. Wicked people will be punished by evildoers, but it seemed that Mrs. Liu's suggestion of taking concubines made both Mu Mu and Mu Chenglin feel a little heavy.

Not long after, Aunt Yang came over again, "Bah! He is just a shameless person! He thinks about getting something for nothing every day! You don't know how Mrs. Liu married Shen Erfu back then!"

Shen Yunxi pricked up her ears when she heard that there was something to eat, "When her man died, it was not easy for her to support her daughter by herself, so she went around hooking up with men. Only if she didn't get pregnant with Shen Erfu's child could she marry into the Shen family!"

"Old Mrs. Shen was worried that Shen Zhenxing was not Shen Erfu's child, so she even did a blood test! But even so, Mrs. Liu has always disliked Mrs. Shen and thought she was dirty!"

Blood test? This thing is not accurate!
