Chapter 25 The Children Are Growing Up
After the old man Shen finished his meal, Shen Hai lit a pack of cigarettes for him. The old man took a long puff of the cigarette and spit it out again. His eyes were filled with smoke.
However, I felt much better and called my two sons over, "You all come here..."
Mrs. Shen left the west room with a gloomy face.
It was completely dark outside. Ji Daju and Wu Zhaodi took out the empty bowls, chopsticks and basins and piled them into the big pot.
As usual, waiting for Chen Li to wash.
Because after washing, they still have to cook a pot of pig food. After all, the Shen family only has one big iron pot for the time being.
People and pigs both eat in the same pot, so that's okay. Nowadays, farmers who feed pigs are basically like this. As long as they are kept clean, there is no problem.
Chen Li finished her work in the woodshed and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and cook the pig food.
There was no electric light in the kitchen, only an oil lamp was lit. She looked at Chen Li gloomily. Chen Li's legs were a little weak, but she still held on. They had a full meal tonight, and Mr. Shen Tai must be unhappy. If taking his anger out on her can make this matter go away, she can just endure it.
The creek was big, and she couldn't let the old lady beat and scold her all the time for no reason.
She lowered her eyebrows and looked down, and worked very quickly.
She is a hard-working person, so this job is not a problem.
Mrs. Shen watched and scolded, while Chen Li listened submissively.
The old lady was still frightened today, so when she scolded Chen Li, she did not dare to curse as loudly as before. Her voice was loud, but only Chen Li could hear her.
Chen Li finally finished her work, and she looked timidly at Mrs. Shen, "Mom, please calm down, I'll go give Yaya a bath..."
With that said, Chen Li raised her legs and left.
Old Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth in anger. She picked up the fire stick and threw it up. She couldn't help but raised her voice and cursed, "Chen Li, you are a troublemaker, my good son." My grandson has been taught bad things by you, and he dares to go against us. Doesn’t he even want to live? You..."
Then, the sharp sound suddenly stopped.
The lights in the house shone in the yard, and she saw the two Shen Jiawen brothers glaring at her.
Especially Shen Qingshan, his eyes are the most cruel and terrifying.
Shen Mingxi walked out of the darkness and sneered, "Grandma, just because we want to live, we are settling accounts with you today. This matter has nothing to do with my mother. She works non-stop all day long, and she still has to suffer from you. Your heart is really made of stone. My mother alone abused these three daughters-in-law. Are you really bullying her? The children are too young to support her?"
Shen Qingshan glared at Old Mrs. Shen angrily. Although he didn't say anything, his clenched fists made a banging sound. Old Mrs. Shen was frightened and the hand holding the fire stick started to shake.
The most indispensable thing in this world is people who bully the weak and fear the strong.
This was the case with Mrs. Shen in front of her.
She took a few steps back and stared blankly at the tall twin brothers, thinking in a daze that Chen Li, a useless prodigal woman, would give birth to a child this big...
She was in a dilemma, and at this moment, Shen Baozhi came. She smiled as if she didn't know what had just happened. She winked at the three brothers and sisters who looked unpredictable in front of her, "Eldest brother, second brother, sister, I'll take grandma back to the house. You should rest quickly. It's been a tiring day today. It's been too hard..."
Then, without waiting for them to speak, he hurriedly pulled Mrs. Shen, "Grandma, it's time for you to go back to the house and rest. Come on, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside..."
Mrs. Shen finally found her way down the steps. Her eyes were full of her precious lucky star Shen Baozhi. This child was the little fairy sent by God.
She followed Shen Baozhi in a hurry.
There was nothing she could do about it. Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan, who had always had no sense of existence, suddenly became tall and scary. She needed to think about it carefully.
Chen Li was a little confused, why did Mrs. Shen leave so easily.
She murmured, "Baozhi is a good child, thank you to her, otherwise, your grandma would have taken action again today..."
Shen Mingxi glanced at the lights in the main room and said rudely, "Mom, you have forgotten that when you were beaten and scolded by my grandma many times, Shen Baozhi was watching from the side. My grandma was afraid of my eldest brother and the second son. Brother, what does it have to do with her!"
Shen Qingshan, who originally thought Chen Li was right, suddenly understood. He smiled happily, "Xiaoxi, if you didn't tell me, I almost thought so."
"You silly boy, you have to think more about anything in the future." Shen Jiawen, who had been silent for the whole time, spoke up.
Chen Li was ashamed and a little overwhelmed. Shen Mingxi did not blame Chen Li too much. Her mother had lived a very hard life in recent years, and the one who accepted everything was the most powerful one.
The road ahead for their big house is actually very difficult.
She took Chen Li's arm and said, "Mom, go inside and rest. By the way, you can get up tomorrow morning and serve the vegetable garden. Don't do anything else. My eldest brother and my second brother are responsible for everything."
"Yes, Mom, we have everything..."
Shen Jiawen spoke calmly but seemed to be promising something.
Chen Li's heart suddenly became warm.
In the main room, Old Shen looked at the gloomy Old Mrs. Shen and frowned, "What happened to the boss and his family today? If you have nothing to do tomorrow, ask if someone is instigating them."
"Who can instigate this? Isn't that damn girl working with two kids from the city and three others these days? By the way, I heard in the afternoon that Feng Anyen was cut on his leg by a sickle... "
Mrs. Shen said angrily.
Shen Baozhi's eyes flashed on the side, Shen Mingxi and Feng Anyen were working together?
Hearing the words Feng Anyen, Old Shen glanced at Shen Baozhi and said nothing, while Shen Hai who was next to him said impatiently, "Father, mother, just let them ride on your necks and show off their power." Ah, you can’t let this get used to, otherwise, you won’t be able to control them anymore…”
"Let me tell you, our family has enough food. They are just here for a little food. Once they are full, they will be fine..." Uncle Shen said in a low voice.
"How can there be enough food to eat? There are so many people in our family. Why don't you and the third family stop eating and save the food for them?"
Mrs. Shen said angrily.
Uncle Shen said hurriedly, "I'm just talking casually, pretend I didn't say anything."
Chen Hai snorted, "I have a use for that food, so don't waste it all."
Third Uncle Shen curled his lips inwardly, saying that the most cruel person was this guy. He didn't do any work at all, and no one saw a penny of the money he earned from work. A few pieces of candy he occasionally ate was too much.
The food he and Dafang earned was given out a lot every year as gifts.
He shut up.
Started to smoke cigarettes one after another.
Old Shen waved his hands irritably, "You all go back to the house." Then he looked at Shen Baozhi kindly, "Bao girl, you stay here for a while, grandpa wants to tell you something."
