Chapter 187 Asking the Patriarch for House and Land
Chapter 187 Asking the clan leader for a house and land
After taking a shower and returning to the cave, the Ji Xun brothers hadn't returned yet. Shen Yuxi brought a basin of well water into the space, and poured water on the cabbage. It didn't cost money anyway, and it didn't matter whether it would grow or not.
When Shen Yue woke up early the next morning, he still heard the sound of kung fu practicing outside the cave.
When washing her face, she found that the water tank was full. Ji Xun's leg was injured. She didn't know how painful it was to bear such a heavy burden. Shen Yuxi decided to get up early tomorrow and come to carry water.
I had ramen for breakfast, cooked with the leftover broth from the night before. Not to mention how delicious it was.
Ji Feng, the little guy, also flattered his sister-in-law so much that he insisted on helping wash the dishes, saying that sister-in-law had worked hard.
The little friends who had just got their little hands greasy came to the door. They poked their heads at the entrance of the cave and lured Ji Feng out. The half-year-old children were like a herd of bison, huffing and running towards the village.
The little guy is actually quite obedient. He never goes to the lake unless his brother tells him to, even if he knows how to swim. He also teaches other disobedient kids that "a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall."
Ji Xun must have read a lot of books, and the characters he wrote with charcoal blocks in the cave are comparable to Wang Xizhi's.
Today, it was agreed that he would go to the patriarch of the Shen clan and ask Mrs. Wang and his two uncles for his father's house and property, so Ji Xun did not go into the mountain.
"I'll leave as soon as I pack these things. Just wait."
Shen Yuyu told Ji Xun, put a pot on the stove to boil water, and prepared to boil the pig intestines. She must order the modern skewers of charcoal-grilled intestines. The half-dry sausages are grilled on the charcoal fire and become sizzling with oil. , and sprinkle some cumin and chili powder to make it fragrant.
Ji Xun said nothing, sitting at the entrance of the cave and looking outside, but out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Yuyu. She was pretending to be working hard, right? After all, she had never done such rough work before.
But it's also a good thing. If you pretend, you might actually be diligent. Straightening this crooked seedling will be worthy of Shen Hong's trust.
The large intestine is blanched in water and fixed with thin thin bamboo sticks. Finally, it is tied with a rope and hung in a suitable position above the stove fire. Grandma said that when you listen to the fire, it will have the aroma of smoke, and it will taste unique.
She sliced and marinated the pork belly and made pork belly soup in the evening.
Shen Yuyu concentrates on her work. She is most devoted to two things in modern times. One is seeing a doctor and the other is cooking delicious food. Does this count as balancing work and life?
After finishing his work, he washed his hands, tidied his slightly messy hair, tightened the silk belt around his waist, and quickly tied a bow on his side.
"Let's go." She called Ji Xun in a relaxed tone and walked out of the cave. Ji Xun picked up the walking stick and followed.
The autumn air was crisp and the sky was clear. The two of them walked up to the village one after another. When they passed the mouth of the well, the chattering women started talking again.
"Hey? Ji Laizi is willing to go out with Fool Shen? This is strange."
"Didn't you idiot Shen go around claiming that you are still a young lady? I must have been sleeping with her for the past two days."
"No wonder Mrs. Wang came in a hurry yesterday and left angrily. She must have lost her virginity and couldn't sell it at a good price."
"Where can't you sell it at a good price? Mrs. Wang has contacted the next seller a long time ago. Not to mention that she might be happier if she is pregnant. The other party is just an incompetent fool."
Aunt Zhou was also at the well, and she really couldn't listen anymore. "The folks in the village all have the same surname, and they have different lovers. They just gloat about each other's misfortune. Who doesn't have a daughter? Are you so hard-hearted that you are not afraid of retribution?" Everyone didn't agree. Made a sound.
"Yu Yu, where are you going?" Aunt Zhou straightened up and greeted Shen Yu Yu kindly.
"I'm going to the patriarch's house, auntie." Shen Yuyu responded with a smile.
As soon as Aunt Zhou heard this, she put down the clothes in her hands and climbed a dozen stairs in one breath to reach Shen Yuyu. She thought that Shen Yuyu was going to the patriarch's house to sign and divorce, so she looked anxious.
"Yu Yu, don't be stupid. Ji Xun is a good person. You won't suffer a loss if you live a good life with him. It's okay to be poor now. It will always be fine in the future." After speaking, he looked at Ji Xun again, " Ah Xun, aunt knows that you are a good and honest person. I am young and ignorant, so you should be tolerant of what you have done wrong. If there is no food in winter, aunt will give you more, so that you will not freeze to death and starve to death. rest assured."
These words really impressed Ji Xun. It turns out that there are such good people in the world.
Just as he was about to explain, Shen Yue rushed to speak, speaking in a disorganized manner, still silly, and very loudly.
"Auntie, am I stupid? I just want to ask my grandma to come out with fifty taels of silver to treat Ji Xun's legs and face, and let him go to study and test for fame. As long as he is better-looking and more promising than Wang Xiucai, then I won’t make peace with you.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment when these words came out, and then couldn't help laughing.
"This fool, he still said he was not stupid, pff~~"
"It turns out she had another daydream, which is good. Wang Xiucai is finally free."
"Then don't Mrs. Wang want to be entangled? Fifty taels of silver will cost her her life."
"I also want to persuade her to sell her to Li again. Now she won't leave. Mrs. Wang will steal the chicken but lose the rice. It will be a good show."
Aunt Zhou burst out laughing when she heard this. This child is stubborn and never tires of insisting on things. Mrs. Wang is greedy and bad. She took her stepson Shen Hong's eighty-tael pension and refused to give a single cent to Shen Yuyu. It's not an exaggeration for her to vomit fifty taels.
But she wouldn't take out such a huge sum of money even if it cost Mrs. Wang her life, but it would be nice to pester her to prevent her from having bad intentions.
"Then why go to the patriarch's house?" Aunt Zhou was a little confused.
"Oh, my grandma said the money was gone, so I asked her for my father's house and land. My grandma lied, and she said she sold it, but I saw my uncle on that land two days ago. Work."
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she was so happy that she patted Shen Yuyu on the shoulder and gave her an encouraging look: "Then I won't delay you anymore, I still have clothes to wash." She didn't dare to say more words. Mrs. Wang and her two daughters-in-law are both shrews and do not want to quarrel with them.
After hearing this, the women from various households near the wellhead started discussing again.
"Don't you think Silly Shen has changed? He seems less stupid than before."
"I also think that you know how to approach the clan leader to ask for your own property. How smart is it?"
"You are overthinking. How can a fool become smart? Didn't you see Ji Laizi doing that? It wasn't his idea. I'll chop off his head."
"Yes, yes, forget about him. He has killed people and seen blood on the battlefield. He must not be a good person. Now that he can't live any longer, he has come up with the idea of these things."
"What do you mean by thinking about these things? Those things originally belonged to Shen Hong, what's wrong with his daughter taking them back?" Aunt Zhou couldn't stand hearing it anymore and couldn't help but speak fair words, "If my granddaughter lives in Eating wild vegetables in the cave, life has become like that, I have taken the initiative to take it out."
