Chapter 22 Downgrade in Treatment
From yesterday morning to yesterday noon, they had already eaten noodles twice in a row, but Shen Chengyue still hadn't had enough.
However, since the children had already spoken, Xu Qinghe didn't intend to go against them and turned around to knead the dough and make noodles for them.
This time, however, she didn't plan to make braised noodles; instead, she changed it to stewed noodles.
Yesterday, when the family was dividing the property, she was so focused on dividing up the valuables of the Shen family that she forgot to look at these worthless items. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhi even brought back the vegetables.
Looking at the green beans in the corner, Xu Qinghe decided to make the most of them and make braised noodles with green beans.
As I was thinking, I kneaded the dough in my hands until it was smooth and clean, then put it in a bowl, covered it, and let it rest for a while.
Xu Qinghe took the green beans and went outside, calling to the two children as she went, "Chengyue, Chuanchuan, come help me pick vegetables."
There wasn't much fun to do at that moment, and two children who were counting ants immediately ran over when they heard this.
Xu Qinghe glanced at Shen Chengyue's still swollen face, and her anger surged up again.
If she were to run into Sister-in-law Shen again, she would definitely scratch her face raw.
At the same time, Sister-in-law Shen was being scolded by her mother.
"What kind of karma have I created! To give birth to such a useless and troublesome thing like you, you have completely disgraced the Wang family this time."
With a swollen face, Sister-in-law Shen looked at her unconscious brother lying on the bed and said indignantly, "What does this have to do with me? Didn't you tell me to do this?"
"If you hadn't insisted on asking me for two taels of silver to help my brother get married, I wouldn't have given him this idea."
"Besides, my brother has his eye on that little bitch too. He wants to take advantage of her. What's it to me?"
"I told you to pay up your money, I told you to steal someone else's wife! Don't you know what your brother does? Look at how you beat him up! Let me tell you, if anything happens to your brother, I'll never forgive you!" the Queen Mother said, spitting as she spoke.
Sister-in-law Shen blinked repeatedly in anger, but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
She devoted herself to this family, spending time, money, and effort, but her mother, with a single, dismissive remark, completely negated her worthlessness.
Just then, Shen Daya and her children came over and stood cautiously at the door, saying, "Mom, Grandma, we're hungry."
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately looked at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother simply rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Go home and eat if you want. The food was all gone yesterday, so there's no grain left."
Sister-in-law Shen glanced subconsciously at the noodles placed next to Wang Mingliang, silently clenched her fists, and turned to walk out.
As soon as she reached the door, she heard her mother say imperiously, "Go back and bring me some more grain."
"I've raised you for nothing, you're completely useless."
Although Sister-in-law Shen was furious, years of living like this had made her used to compromising, so she could only reluctantly hum in agreement.
Because of the injuries on her face, Sister-in-law Shen dared not take the main road and could only sneak along the side roads to get home.
When she arrived home, Sister-in-law Shen thought she would be greeted by her in-laws who were very attentive.
To my surprise, the courtyard was completely empty; there wasn't a single person in sight.
Sister-in-law Shen's anger flared up instantly. "Where is he?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen's mother came out of the house, looking annoyed, and said, "You're back?"
Sister-in-law Shen: "Hmm, why are you alone? Where are my father and the others?"
Shen's mother said weakly, "She went to the fields."
The family land was divided yesterday, so Old Man Shen and his elder brother will definitely have to go and check on the land.
Without giving it much thought, Sister-in-law Shen walked into the house, intending to take some grain to her mother.
To their surprise, upon entering the house, they found it completely ransacked.
"Where are our things?"
Seeing that Sister-in-law Shen still knew nothing, Mother Shen rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "They were all divided up by the second son's family."
Sister-in-law Shen immediately became agitated upon hearing this, "Why?"
Shen's mother said, "Why else! They're not going to give in to you anymore!" After saying that, she turned around and went into the house without looking back, showing none of her previous attentiveness.
If she hadn't been so reckless, she wouldn't have gotten herself into this mess with her second son and his wife.
Seeing her mother's attitude, Sister-in-law Shen clenched her fists in anger. How dare this old hag talk to her like that? Has she forgotten how many brothers she has on her mother's side?
But when she thought of her mother's attitude towards her, Sister-in-law Shen calmed down again. She touched her swollen face and thought viciously, "When I see that little bitch again, I'll scratch her to death."
The two sisters-in-law began to resent each other. Unlike Sister-in-law Shen, who was disliked by the whole family, Xu Qinghe's status in their family was unparalleled.
Especially in this era where people have no worries about food and clothing and are particular about their appearance, Xu Qinghe's culinary skills immediately won the hearts of the two children.
"Auntie, when will the noodles be ready?"
Shen Chengyue kept swallowing as he looked at the brightly colored noodles in the pot.
Seeing his greedy look, Xu Qinghe chuckled, "It'll be ready soon, go get the bowl."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately replied, "Okay." He then turned around and ran into the house, and Shen Chengchuan quickly followed after him.
Kids have such a strong ability to recover. They were bullied so badly yesterday, but after a good night's sleep, they've almost fully recovered.
A moment later, the two children came running out, one carrying a bowl in front of the other.
Since she didn't know exactly when Shen Zhi would return, Xu Qinghe didn't wait for him. She served the rice and took the two children into the house.
Shen Chengyue is older and can use chopsticks on his own, so he doesn't need Xu Qinghe to feed him, but Shen Chengchuan is a bit weaker.
But Xu Qinghe didn't feed him. She just wrapped a cloth around his body and let him learn to eat by himself. It didn't matter if he spilled food.
Unlike Shen Chengchuan's wolfing down of food, Shen Chengyue ate much more cautiously, carefully picking out the pork belly from the noodles and eating only the green beans and noodles.
Xu Qinghe looked at it with some surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Is the meat not tasty?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately shook his head. "No, the meat is delicious."
The pork belly, with its alternating layers of fat and lean meat, was stir-fried by Xu Qinghe until it was dry, giving it both the aroma of meat and the flavor of green beans. It tasted incredibly delicious.
"Then why aren't you eating?"
Shen Chengyue looked at the meat in his eyes with bright eyes and said, "I'll eat it later."
Xu Qinghe's lips curled up slightly, thinking that it was fortunate that there were few children in the family. If there were a few more mischievous boys, he would definitely suffer because of his habit.
But she only thought it to herself and didn't say it to Shen Chengyue's face. Instead, she shared the meat in her bowl with the two of them.
Just after Xu Qinghe finished distributing the pork, she remembered something: she had bought quite a lot of pork belly, and it would spoil if she didn't get it out soon.
"How about I make you guys roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) tonight?"
Upon hearing this, the two children's eyes immediately lit up, and they replied, "Okay."
