Xu Ming seemed to be hurt, and asked with red eyes: "Ning Ning, are you angry? I didn't mean not to save you, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"Yes, you can't help it." Xu Ning sneered, "When my sister-in-law didn't let me in and pushed me to sleep on the street, you couldn't do it; when my sister-in-law didn't let me eat and beat me and scolded me, there was nothing you could do; now I
You are sick and dying, but there is nothing you can do.
Since there is no other way, then let me go. You will not be happy until my sister-in-law marries me to the old man for money, right? Or is it you who wants the money and you are the one who wants to sell me?"
"I'm not, I didn't..." Xu Ming held his forehead helplessly, recalling the past scenes, knowing that he owed Xu Ning a lot, and finally chose to compromise, "Forget it, I will follow you, I will sign the contract.
"
After finally waiting for this moment, Mrs. Shu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Yan Yan to go home and call the literate Shu Mingxin.
The family had already discussed the contents of the contract, and it was easy to copy them out. Soon, the two contracts were placed in front of Xu Ming and Mrs. Shu.
Under the witness of the intermediary, both parties pressed their fingerprints respectively.
When the separation came, Xu Ming finally realized his conscience. He knelt on the ground and cried miserably, saying sorry one by one with a very sincere attitude.
At this time, Xu Ning stopped crying. She calmly helped Xu Ming up, walked to the bed, pried open the loose bricks, and took out the copper plates hidden in the cracks in the wall one by one.
"Brother, this is the last time I call you eldest brother. These copper coins were given to me by me when I worked for others. They gave them to me because they thought I was pitiful. I keep them all for you as a way of repaying the kindness of taking you in over the years."
Xu Ning stacked the coins and placed them in front of Xu Ming, then knelt down and kowtowed.
"Xu Ming, let's just pretend we don't know each other when we meet again."
After saying this, she stood up and walked away without looking back, leaving Xu Ming kneeling in front of the door and being criticized by everyone.
After putting on a whole show, in order not to let the neighbors notice the clues, Mrs. Shu led her family back to Xingfu Village directly after leaving the grocery store.
That night, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law steamed a pot full of rice and fried a large table of vegetables.
When the food was served, no one was in a hurry to eat. They all looked at Xu Ning with a smile and urged her to use her chopsticks to eat.
Xu Ning picked up the steaming rice, looked up, and burst into tears unprepared.
Mrs. Shu hurriedly wiped her tears, "Good boy, why are you crying? It's not worth crying for someone like that!"
Xu Ning shook his head, "I'm so happy. In that home before, I never had a chance to eat on the table, so I could only pick up their leftovers. But here, you take care of me everywhere..."
Mrs. Sun put a piece of meat into her bowl and said with a smile: "You just came here. You are not familiar with anything. Naturally, we have to take more care of you. When you get familiar with it later, you want us to take care of you and you are too lazy to take care of us."
."
After finishing her words, Mrs. Yang put a few shrimps into her bowl and said, "Sister, just treat this place as your own home. Although our family has a lot of people, everyone is kind-hearted. You will know after staying here for two days."
Xu Ning swallowed and wiped her tears, "Well, I know, I've known it for a long time... Everyone, please stop looking at me and sit down to eat. I can't eat alone."
"Okay, let's eat." Mrs. Shu happily sat next to her with a small dumpling in her arms.
Shu Mingli was embarrassed to talk the whole time, but he kept paying attention to what was going on with Xu Ning. As soon as he finished the last bowl of rice, he immediately went over to refill it.
When the others saw it, they pretended not to see it. They turned their backs and secretly laughed at him, saying that he knew he was chasing girls.
This is the way to chase girls... it's a little bit strange.
After adding rice five times in a row, Xu Ning couldn't bear it anymore. She covered the mouth of the bowl and shook her head at him, "Brother Mingli, stop filling it. I can't eat anymore."
Shu Mingli smiled honestly, "Are you really full? Don't be embarrassed. It's okay to have a big appetite. I have a bigger appetite than you. How can I eat deliciously?"
Xu Ning looked at his big white teeth and her heart felt warm, "I really can't eat any more. Brother Mingli, just sit down and eat your own. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
Mrs. Shu listened to the conversation between the two and showed a motherly smile, "Ning Ning, just stay at home and rest for the past two days. Don't go to the store, so that the Xu family won't see the fuss.
My second daughter-in-law, you and your little ones stay at home with Ning Ning. If you want to go to the sea, you can go to the sea. If you don’t want to go, just cook at home and don’t have to do anything else."
Yan Yan couldn't sit still when she heard the word "catch the sea" and danced with her hands like a dancing master, "I want to catch the sea, I want to catch the sea!"
Yang smiled and rubbed her head, "Okay, tomorrow my second aunt will take you to the sea to dig clams. If you dig a lot, you can send them to the restaurant, so you don't have to spend money to buy them."
Xiaotuanzi nodded obediently, but murmured in his heart that digging clams was boring, and if he finally went to the beach, he would have to make big waves.
Abalone, oysters, and the white money have been waving to her for a long time!
But she didn't dare to say this out loud. If her grandmother didn't let her go after she said it, wouldn't it be over?
Suddenly there was an extra person in the house, which made the already tense bed space even more tense.
Old Mrs. Shu looked at the room full of bad boys, thought about it carefully, and finally kicked Old Man Shu out without hesitation.
Old Man Shu folded his arms in grievance and muttered: "There are so many people in our family, so you just want to bully me, are you not your biological daughter-in-law?"
"Why are you so busy? Why don't you pack your things and go to the store to sleep tomorrow? It's spacious there." Mrs. Shu said impatiently.
Old Man Shu: "...Forget it, I'll just squeeze in with Lao San and the others."
At least you can eat the food cooked by your wife at home, so what can you do in the store? Talk about life in front of fish and shrimps?
Except for old man Shu who was unable to sleep due to the noise of his snoring after changing beds, everyone else slept soundly that night.
The next day, the family got up early as usual to buy vegetables and cook. Mrs. Shu was in a good mood, so she went to the vegetable patch to pull radishes and steamed two pots of radish rolls.
The thin flour crust is stuffed with shredded radish, which is white and green after being steamed. It is not only beautiful but also delicious. It is soft and slightly spicy, and you will be happy to take a bite.
The little dumpling held the bowl and ate two pieces in a row. Finally, he patted his round belly with satisfaction and said, "Grandma, you have to come back early today. I want to pick up a lot of fish and shrimps. Let's have a big dinner!"
Mrs. Shu pinched her little face and said, "It doesn't matter if you have a big meal or not. I'll be thankful if you can be more obedient and stop running around and making trouble."
Xiaotuanzi felt guilty, stuffed a piece of pancake into her mouth, and waved her hands to urge her, "The sun has come out, grandma, let's go quickly. It's late and the dinner should be undercooked."
"You." Mrs. Shu shook her head helplessly and turned around to tell Yang, "Watch these little guys carefully. If anyone is disobedient, take them home directly. Don't spoil them."
Yang nodded in agreement, but when she got to the beach, Xiaotuanzi hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, and immediately raised her hands to surrender.
"Looking for abalone, right? OK, second aunt will take you to look for it, but we agreed first that we must walk hand in hand, and we are not allowed to fall behind, let alone run around."
Several little ones responded in unison: "I know!"
