C6 Divorced

"Second Sister-in-law, I was thinking of cooking six dishes, but I only ordered two. Is eight dishes too much? I'm afraid our mother won't be happy about it, right?" Mrs Zhao, who was cooking, looked up and asked.

Madam Zhou sneered, "Do as you like. I don't care about your matters, so I'll come over and help you. You have the final say in what dishes to cook and how to cook."

"Second sister in law, I have no other intentions." When Mrs Zhao heard Mrs Zhou's tone, she quickly explained.

With a cold expression, Madame Zhou walked to the counter, picked up the shovel, and put a piece of the meat in the pot into her mouth. After eating it, she frowned and said, "You've fried the meat old again, and told you how many times. He threw the shovel into the pot.

He coldly looked at Lin Xin'er and said, "You damned girl, you're burning in too much hurry. It's a good fate for you, but it's a pity that you don't know what's good for you. Since you're unwilling to marry the Zhao Family, your second uncle has a good marriage. "But …"

Lin Xin'er looked up and said, "I don't want to."

You really are a beast that only your mother can teach you. I don't have your uncle's good nature, but look at you, you're just a dead man. Your uncle told you about the marriage.

"Second sister in law, Xin`er is still young and isn't in a hurry to get married." Mrs Zhao whispered.

"Still young?" Mrs. Zhou sneered, "You already know how to steal men, and you're still young? I'll tell you this, I'll help you out with good intentions. If someone else were to help you, who wouldn't be afraid of being scolded to death by the Fang family, this marriage would be a good marriage, because it's far away from our village, and no one knows about the shameful things that have happened to Xin'er. After marrying her, you won't have to worry about it being passed on in the future. "

"Second Uncle, thank you for your kind intentions. I will never marry anyone, so I'm willing to become a nun, but Second Uncle will help Big Sister Guo'er with her exercise. Grandmother usually dotes on Big Sister Guo'er. With her around, marrying into the Zhao Mansion is not a problem."

"Do you think the Zhao Mansion can agree to such a simple arrangement?" Zhou said angrily. He had originally been holding back his anger for a long time, but now that Lin Xin'er mentioned it, he felt a rising anger in his stomach.

Mrs Zhao was afraid that her second daughter would anger Mrs Zhou again. She quickly berated: "Xin`er, shut up. Don't speak such nonsense."

"Mother, did I say something wrong? The Zhao manor has never seen me and Big Sister Guo'er before. Who would know if Big Sister Guo'er used my name to marry her? The capital is so far away, and no one from our village has ever been there. In the future, no one will ever go there again.

"That's right, you're thinking for sister Guo'er, how can I not think for you? You're going to marry your sister Guo'er and your uncle's foster son, and this isn't a disgrace to you. I'll go tell your uncle and mother about this matter." When Madame Zhou said this, a smile appeared in her eyes.

The weasel had no good intentions in bowing to the chicken.

Lin Xin'er smiled and said, "Second Uncle's really straightforward and thorough. If I were to inform Eldest Uncle and Grandmother, it would be better if I were to tell Grandmother. Right now, Grandmother is angry. Hearing Second Uncle's idea, she'll definitely be happy."

"Tell your aunt first!" Zhou said uncertainly.

Lin Xin'er smiled and said, "Second aunt, you go and tell Grandma that this is your idea. The credit is yours, but if Eldest Aunt tells Eldest Aunt, the credit will go to Eldest Aunt. Even though everyone said that Eldest Uncle's mother handled matters well and was very shrewd, that's what my mother and Second Uncle's mother couldn't do. "

Madame Zhou coldly snorted, turned her head, and walked out of the woodshed.

Seeing that Madame Zhou had left, Mrs Zhao then said in a low voice with dissatisfaction: "Xin'er, why are you always following Second Uncle's mother to meddle in her family's business? What you said to your second aunt just now was probably heard by your eldest aunt to have offended her again. Why did you fall into the well once more, and your mouth is always filled with gossip.

"Mother, did you not understand?" Seeing Mrs Zhao's puzzled face, she finally knew why she was bullying Mrs Zhao. Thus, she patiently explained: "Second Aunt came here just now to talk about marriage for me. Why did second aunt go to her house once without mentioning anything before? Second Aunt wants Big Sister Guo'er to marry into the Zhao manor for me. Eldest Aunt doesn't agree, but it's not easy to refuse, so she used us as sabrelords. "

Mrs Zhao's eyes were still puzzled.

"Mother, second uncle's mother said that me and sister Guo'er were serious about marrying each other. She told everyone that I was going to marry into the Zhao manor and that sister Guo'er was going to marry second uncle's foster son. Who was this idea hiding? "I have to hide this from Fourth Uncle." Lin Xin'er analyzed.

"Why did you hide it from your fourth uncle?" Mrs Zhao asked, puzzled.

"On the surface, it's Uncle leading the way, but behind the scenes, it's Fourth Uncle who's the one who's responsible for the marriage!" It didn't matter if he was his uncle, but his fourth uncle was adamant and didn't agree. Why not? "There's something fishy about it. This matter is not simple. Eldest Uncle's wife wants to do it in secret, let's make it clear to the public."

"I'm too stupid, and I didn't think too deeply into it. Your second uncle's mother suddenly mentioned marriage to you, and it was full of strangeness. What happened in the house earlier, your second uncle's mother clearly knew, was it your eldest uncle's mother who told you?"

"No, it was Second Aunt who was eavesdropping outside the window." Lin Xin'er said with certainty.

Mrs Zhao was taken aback and recalled, "Your Second Uncle's mother loves listening in the corner. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and go to the latrine. I met her a few times. She was standing by our window."

Listening to the corner of the bed?

Madame Zhou was quite a vile person.

After Mrs Zhao had finished stir-frying the dishes, Lin Yu'er came out of the house and went into the woodshed. She squatted beside Lin Xin'er and muttered: "I don't know what happened, Granny scolded Second Aunt. I still want to hear more.

"Two more dishes have been prepared. Why did you stay so long to deliver two more dishes to the house?" Mrs Zhao knew why Mrs Zhou was scolded, so she changed the subject and asked Lin Yu'er.

"Grandfather told me to clean up the table and the stools, my uncle had a decent meal in the county city. Although our house is a bit poor, at least we have to be clean." Grandfather told me to clean up the table and stools, my uncle had a decent meal in the county city. Lin Yu'er said as she stood up. As she looked at the dishes stirring in the wok, her stomach made a sound and she quickly squatted down again.

"Didn't you and your father eat in the fields at noon?" Mrs Zhao looked at her eldest daughter and asked.

Lin Yu'er smiled and said, "There are a lot of things to do in the fields, but I brought three pancakes with me. Xin'er called us back to the house before we even had time to eat. I gave the three pancakes to Grandmother when I got home."

"We'll eat later. You can eat again. It doesn't matter if you're hungry for a while." Although Mrs Zhao said this, she still felt a bit sad. Before dawn, her husband took her eldest daughter and her youngest son to work in the fields. Before leaving, everyone drank a bowl of water and ate a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, he looked at the frail Lin Xin'er squatting on the ground and blamed himself, "Your sister hadn't eaten a single mouthful of rice, and she almost lost her life. She went to the well with Guo'er to fetch water, but she first fell into the well, causing your grandmother to curse."

"Mother, after I fell into the well, who saved me?" Lin Xin'er suddenly asked.

Mrs Zhao was stunned and suddenly realised: "I forgot it when I was anxious. At that time, someone came to me and told me that you fell into the well and were rescued by the young prince of the Wang family. By the time I went to find you, you had already been carried halfway by the young master of the Wang family. That young master handed you over to me and left. Fortunately, he saved your life. "

"The young master of the Wang family is a good man. I heard that he passed the Elementary Scholar examination this year. God bless him." Lin Yu'er said.

"In the future, we will go to the Wang family to express our gratitude. The Wang family is a rich family, and although we live in our village, we will have to return to the capital sooner or later. People say that little gongzi Wang will become an official in the future if he fails the Elementary Scholar examination." Mrs Zhao scooped out the prepared dishes and handed them to Lin Yu'er. "You can first send off this hot dish and then return to serve the two dishes you just served."

Lin Yu'er received it with both hands.

Mrs Zhao poured some oil into the pot, put in the chopped spring onion and ginger, beat it a few times, then put down the pepper and red pepper. After stir-frying a few times, she poured the celery into the pot, added half a spoon of cold water, and began to stir-fry it non-stop in the pot.

Lin Xin'er, who had been boiling the pot, saw that Madame Zhao's cooking steps were exactly the same. She finally knew that what she had said earlier was not a lie. The Zhao Family's culinary skills were indeed terrible.

"Mom, you cook all day long, can't you cook in a different way? For example, stewing, cooking, and frying. That would be even better. " Lin Xin'er carefully suggested.

Mrs. Zhao put down the plate in her hand, poured the cold water in the bowl into the pot, bent over, and took out the wood that was being boiled in the pot, placing it among the ashes, seeing that the wood had been extinguished, she raised her head and said: "You fool, why are you still burning, the dishes are already cooked, you are becoming more and more silly, you are just making a stew, cooking, and frying, which you said is not a waste of oil, just saving the cooking, saving the oil, you are not living a life like this, I'm afraid you are just getting closer to poverty."

"Mom, what you say makes sense." Lin Xin'er couldn't help but admire the Zhao Clan's meticulous planning. In the eyes of the Zhao Clan, eating was only for the sake of living, and wasn't delicious.

As a glutton, she couldn't do it!

Mrs. Zhao stood at the door of the woodshed, stretching her head out to look at the front door. Seeing that the door was tightly shut, and that there was nothing to see, Lin Yu'er had yet to come out. She walked over to another large iron pot and opened it, releasing the fragrance of the fragrant millet porridge.

"Mother, two hands are unable to carry three plates of food." Lin Xin'er replied.

She picked up the broken basket placed on top of the pile of firewood and placed the two plates of food inside. She lifted the basket with her right hand and the other plate with her left hand, then looked at Lin Xin'er and said, "Isn't that done?"
