When Shen Xiu came in with water, mother and son had already finished talking about the business.
Yang picked up the baggage and said, "It's getting late, we should go back."
Wei Yan stood up and saw them out, "The restaurant is doing well these days. I may not be able to go back until the end of next month."
"It's important to do your job, but you should also take care of your body." Mrs. Yang was worried about her son and warned her carefully, "Don't spend money randomly when you come back. Mom doesn't care about those snacks and food."
Wei Yan nodded one by one, "I understand. Mom also needs to take care of herself."
Shen Xiu couldn't get in the middle of the conversation between mother and son, so she just listened. Suddenly she felt a gaze falling on her, and when she raised her head, she met Wei Yan's gaze.
There was more of an inquiring look in her eyes, as if she didn't expect her to become so knowledgeable.
Shen Xiu smiled at Wei Yan. She knew that the other person was careful, but people would change. As long as she developed towards the good side, others would think it was a good thing even if they had doubts.
She said goodbye to Wei Yan with a smile: "Mr. sir, my mother and I will leave first."
Yang also said: "Second brother, we are leaving, you should go back quickly!"
Wei Yan did not rush back, but watched their backs disappear into the crowd before returning to the restaurant.
There is no need to carry a coarse cloth on the way back, which is much easier than when we came here.
When Shen Xiu went to the county town this time, although she didn't buy the embroidery needles she wanted, at least she had a way to make money from the embroidery shop.
Shopkeeper Liu said that purses and handkerchiefs cost five cents, which may mean ordinary purses and handkerchiefs. If her embroidery is good enough, she might be able to sell them for more money.
Even if this road doesn't work, then go to the mountains and try your luck. If you can dig up valuable herbs, you can save enough money for cloth.
When Shen Xiu thought about it, she felt a little more relaxed.
"Mom, I want to discuss something with you."
Yang was thinking about her son, and when she heard Shen Xiu talking, she was also absent-minded: "What's the matter?"
"I'm going to the eldest lady's house tomorrow." Shen Xiu said carefully, "The eldest lady wants me to make some embroidered clothes for Trini."
"What did you say?" Yang didn't understand at first, "Who are you making clothes for?"
"Trini saw the wishful thinking pattern on my clothes, and wanted me to help her embroider some patterns on the clothes." Shen Xiu then said again, "The lady in charge also said that she would give me wages."
When she talked about wages, she emphasized her tone, as if to remind them of their previous bet.
Mrs. Yang quickly understood, "I don't care how much a piece of clothing can cost. But the lady in charge is not someone who is easy to fool. You should be careful and don't ruin the embroidered clothes."
Shen Xiu knew that she had agreed, "I understand. I will definitely not embarrass my mother."
"What does this have to do with me?" Ms. Yang muttered, but her expression became better. Since the second child got rid of his laziness, he became more and more talkative and became more likable.
"I don't care if you want to go to Li Chang's house, but you can't miss three meals a day." Mrs. Yang added one more thing, "otherwise your sister-in-law will accuse me of being partial."
Mentioning the Zou family, Shen Xiu remembered that the Zou family wanted to separate the family. She hesitated for a moment, but still felt that she should tell Yang about this, "Mom, there is something I have always wanted to say."
"You want to say that your sister-in-law wants to separate the family!" Yang said calmly.
Shen Xiu was a little surprised: "Mom, how do you know about this?"
Mrs. Yang snorted and said: "There are no secrets in this village. What your sister-in-law said by the river has been told to me a long time ago. Your sister-in-law has not dared to mess with you these days, maybe that's why!"
Now Shen Xiu couldn't help but admire her, "Mom, no wonder people often say that the old is the hotter. I haven't said it yet, but you already know it all."
Mrs. Yang rarely showed a smile and said: "Don't put a high hat on me, I won't accept this." After speaking, he added, "Your sister-in-law wants to separate the family. Don't tell the rest of the family, especially your father and elders."
two."
"Your sister-in-law is short-sighted and soft-eared. She is not a person who lives her life at all. Furthermore, I want my second son to gain more affection from the elder brother. In the future, when my second brother becomes successful, he will be able to gain more affection from both of them. It's a pity for you.
My sister-in-law is too confused and has no idea of my painstaking efforts."
It turns out that this is the case. Shen Xiu thought that the Yang family did not want to separate the family because they wanted to use the whole family's efforts to support the second son's education, but the real reason was for the eldest son and his wife.
"Mom, my husband will really be able to..."
Before Shen Xiu could finish her sentence, Yang had already made it clear: "The second child will definitely be able to bring glory to our ancestors in the future."
It seems that my mother-in-law is very confident in her cheap husband!
Shen Xiu didn't dare to pour cold water on her, but she felt that Zou might have let down her good intentions.
When the two returned home, the sun was already high above their heads.
It was already a bit hot at noon in April. After walking all this way, Shen Xiu's throat was already smoldering, let alone her stomach. She had already started singing "The Empty City".
Yang was also hungry and thirsty. She opened the courtyard door and asked Shen Xiu to go into the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Zou said she was ill, so Daya made lunch for lunch. Daya was a sensible child and didn't cook well, but she left half a pot of porridge for her grandma and second aunt.
After Yang finished her porridge, she went to rest. After walking back and forth for so long, she was naturally very tired.
Because Shen Xiu was still young, she did not go to rest. Instead, she found some rags and planned to sew a purse.
As soon as a leaf was embroidered, Da Ya came over and said, "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Shen Xiu smiled and asked her to sit down next to her, showing her the newly embroidered orchids, "I plan to make a purse."
Da Ya touched the embroidered orchid, her face filled with envy.
Shen Xiu's heart moved when she saw it, "Da Ya, do you want to learn this embroidery work?"
Da Ya was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said: "Auntie, I want to learn."
"Since you want to learn, then I will teach you." Shen Xiu brought her a rag, "I will teach you the simplest acupuncture method, and when you get started, I will teach you other acupuncture methods."
As the saying goes, bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots.
A person like Mr. Zou, who was sarcastic and rough-handed, gave birth to a daughter like Daya who was both sensible and clever.
Shen Xiu only taught her once, and she remembered it, and the finished embroidery was also done with fine stitches.
"I didn't expect you to be really talented in embroidery." Shen Xiugang praised Da Ya a few words, and Zou had already shouted, "Da Ya, where did you die? You don't care about Shuanzi. I think you haven't been inked for three days.
Fang Jie Wa, in just a short while, you have become someone else's daughter."
Da Ya hurriedly put down the embroidery work in her hands. Before she could stand up, Shen Xiu could no longer bear it. She held down Da Ya who was about to stand up and said in a cold voice: "What do you say, sister-in-law? When will Da Ya give it to me?"
Becoming a daughter?"
Mrs. Zou fully expected that Shen Xiu would be scolded for not being able to carry the coarse cloth on her back, but her mother-in-law didn't mention it even once she came back. Instead, she and her daughter-in-law ate happily.
Ms. Zou didn't expect that Shen Xiu had gritted her teeth and held on. She only thought that her mother-in-law was partial. Now that she saw her own daughter also moving towards Shen Xiu, she could no longer suppress her sour feeling.
"What does my own daughter have to do with you?" Zou was so angry that she ignored Shen Xiu's use of her.
