But Yang was obviously serious. Zou, who was watching the excitement at the sidelines, didn't mind the trouble. When he heard that Yang was going to call Wei Yan back to divorce his wife, he immediately called the man Wei Ping over.
Wei Ping walked up to Yang in confusion, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"
Shen Xiu hurriedly said before Yang could speak: "Brother, please go out for a moment. I have something to tell mother."
Wei Ping was an honest man. Hearing that his siblings had something to say to his mother, he went out without asking.
Mrs. Yang glared at her eldest son's back with hatred, then turned to Shen Xiu and said, "What else do you want to say?"
Shen Xiu carefully considered her words and said: "Mother, the Wei family married me to bring happiness to Wei Yan, which means that I can be regarded as Wei Yan's lucky star. If mother really tells Wei Yan to divorce me, Wei Yan will be gone.
My lucky star..."
As expected, Ms. Yang was struck by Shen Xiu's words, and her face became more hesitant.
Shen Xiu knew that these words had reached her heart, and then said: "Mother asked Wei Yan to divorce me just because I am lazy and lazy, but I can change it slowly in the future. If mother doesn't believe it, how about we make a bet?"
"What bet?" Yang asked looking at Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiudao: "If I don't get rid of my habit of eating and being lazy in the next month, then I will lose. Mother can not only ask Wei Yan to take me off, but she can also ask me for this month's meal money. But if I do it next month
Once I get rid of my habit of being too lazy to eat, then even if I win, my mother will not only not be able to let Wei Yan divorce me, but she will also have to promise that I will keep my private money myself."
"Wei Yan was also called by you, that's your husband." Yang's tone was not polite at all, but there was a change on her face. It seemed that she agreed to the bet.
Shen Xiu took advantage of the victory and pursued it: "Then we, mother and father, have made an agreement. After I win, mother will have to keep her word."
Mr. Yang hummed, "Of course I keep my word, but private money is not that easy to earn."
Of course Shen Xiu had a way to make money. She just smiled and said, "Don't worry about this mother."
Yang looked at her smile and felt something was wrong, "Don't just talk but don't do anything. It's almost three o'clock in the morning, and the family hasn't had breakfast yet!"
Isn't it just cooking? Of course Shen Xiu can do that.
She curved her lips and said, "Mother, please lie down in the room for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
"You don't have to eat too much for breakfast, just grab two handfuls of rice and make porridge. There are some wild vegetables in the kitchen. Just blanch them with hot water and let them cool. Don't put too much sesame oil." Ms. Yang was a little worried after all, so she gave a few warnings.
Then let Shen Xiu go to the kitchen.
Yang has always cooked three meals a day at home. After her eldest daughter-in-law, Zou, married in, Yang originally wanted to give the cooking task to Zou, but she didn’t know that Zou’s hands and feet were not clean. Every time she cooked
For rice, the kitchen is either missing eggs or sesame oil.
After a few times, Ms. Yang simply refused to let her enter the kitchen and took up the task of cooking again. This time Ms. Yang let Shen Xiu enter the kitchen, but she was also murmuring in her heart. If Shen Xiu stole food from the kitchen like Zou, then what would happen?
She would never want to enter the kitchen again.
Shen Xiu didn't know Yang's thoughts yet. She was staring at the fire sickle next to the stove in a daze.
Since the original person never entered the kitchen, she had no idea how to use this thing.
If I go back to ask Yang for advice at this time, will I be scolded?
Shen Xiu was hesitating when the kitchen door became dark and a small figure flashed over.
"Second Aunt, don't you know how to use this fire sickle?" The person who came was Zou's daughter Da Ya.
Usually when Yang was busy cooking, she would ask her eldest granddaughter to come over and help light the fire. Now that Shen Xiu had entered the kitchen, Daya came over sensibly to see if she needed help.
Shen Xiu was overjoyed when she saw her, knowing that Daya's niece was much more lovable than Zou.
She smiled and waved Da Ya over, "Second Aunt really doesn't know how to use this flint, why don't you teach me Da Ya."
Because Da Ya is a daughter, she has not been liked by her parents since she was a child. As long as someone shows a little kindness, she will get close to them.
Now that Shen Xiu was smiling, she walked over involuntarily, "Second Aunt, you must prepare tinder before using the fire sickle."
Daya taught Shen Xiu step by step how to make a fire, and also told her how to use the bellows next to the stove.
Shen Xiu had just learned how to blow the bellows, and Zou's loud voice was already shouting, "Da Ya, where did you die? You didn't feed the chickens, and your brother didn't even look at you."
Ms. Zou had been listening outside for a long time, but she didn't wait until her mother-in-law was about to divorce Shen Xiu. She originally wanted to continue listening, but was pulled away by Wei Ping. Now that she came back and saw that the yard was calm, she knew that her mother-in-law had gone astray again.
Feeling sick, he took out his anger on his daughter.
Shen Xiu knew that Mrs. Zou was not very kind to her daughter, so she said to Daya: "You go first to avoid being scolded."
After Daya left, Shen Xiu fumbled for a while before getting the fire going.
She followed Yang's instructions, grabbed two handfuls of rice, put it into the pot, and started making porridge.
There is a vegetable basket next to the porcelain jar containing grain, with half a basket of wild vegetables in it.
Shen Xiu first selected the wild vegetables cleanly, then blanched them with hot water, then cut them into inch-long sections, and finally sprinkled them with salt and added two drops of sesame oil.
After a while, the corn porridge was ready.
Shen Xiu neatly scooped the corn porridge into a clay pot nearby, and brought the cold wild vegetables to the table. She turned around and saw Da Ya leaning over, and asked her to call everyone to eat.
When Father Wei came out, Shen Xiu had already served everyone food.
The old wife has always been the head of the family. Even though Father Wei didn't like Shen Xiu, a lazy daughter-in-law, he had nothing to say. Now when he saw Shen Xiu serving rice, he thought it was because of the old wife's beating. As for the rice, he never thought it was Shen Xiu.
made.
Wei Ping also didn't expect that he just went around the backyard and was thinking about this year's harvest.
Of the six or seven people in the family, only Yang and Daya knew that Shen Xiu had cooked the meal.
Yang picked up the corn porridge in front of her and looked at it. She was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, Shen Xiu's first time cooking, not only did the rice not burn, but it was cooked fragrantly. It was just that the fire was a bit strong and the porridge was a bit thick.
, each person can only get one bowl.
Just when she thought of this, she heard the old man say: "Old lady, why is the porridge thick today? You know I like to drink thin food in the morning."
Yang glanced at Shen Xiu calmly and said calmly: "I didn't cook this porridge."
"Who are you?" Father Wei wondered.
Da Ya wanted to say that it was her second aunt who had trouble, but she looked at her parents' faces and swallowed her words.
Yang looked at Shen Xiu without saying a word, and said for her: "This porridge was cooked by my second daughter-in-law. My second daughter-in-law, your father likes to drink thin food in the morning. Please lower the fire later, so as to save firewood."
After saying this, everyone at the dinner table was stunned.
Father Wei looked at Shen Xiu and couldn't believe it. Is this still his lazy and greedy second daughter-in-law?
Zou was so surprised that he didn't even bother to drink the porridge.
While everyone was stunned, Ms. Yang slowly took a sip of her porridge and said, "From now on, the second daughter-in-law will cook the food at home."
After Shen Xiu finished cooking, she went to the kitchen to take a look. Not a single egg was missing, nor was there any sesame oil. It seemed that the second daughter-in-law was better than the eldest daughter-in-law. At least her hands and feet were clean.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Zou couldn't help but said: "Mom, this is not okay."
Yang was very pleased at first, but when she heard Zou's words, her face suddenly turned ugly, "Why not?"
