After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Shen Nanzhi felt embarrassed after explaining it this way. She seemed to be trying to cover up something, but it only made it more obvious. She said impatiently, "Go play somewhere else. Work harder in the future. Don't just sit there and eat."

Uncle Niu didn't want to say anything to her. The oldest child was only eight years old. What kind of work could he do? She was just being hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She didn't want to admit that she was good to the child.

"Is everything alright with your uncle Shen?"

Uncle Niu changed the subject and asked about things in the village.

"Nothing happened. There was an incident in the next village. Two people died. Village Chief Jiang was a wicked man. He cheated Widow Xu. Now his retribution is on his own son. He also caused the death of a young man in the village. The retribution came quickly."

After listening to her, Uncle Niu also felt that she deserved it: "It is indeed retribution, because two people died for fifty taels of silver. It seems that this matter is not over yet. Jiang Xiucai's concubine is restless. If she kills someone for money, it will be another crime."

Shen Nanzhi felt that although Lin Xueqing was a bad person and wanted to cheat people out of money, he wouldn't harm anyone, right?

"It's not that serious, right? Would Lin harm someone for money?"

"Some things are not about whether someone wants to do them or not, but when they happen, they have to do them. She tried to swindle the money that was exchanged for the child's life, and the old man couldn't stand the stimulation and something happened. Isn't it also her sin?"

Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "Let them do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with us. It's perfect for Chen the Hunter and Xu the Widow to form a family. I'll give them a gift later. I hope they can be happy."

Uncle Niu said, "Lion Chen sounds like a responsible man, and Widow Xu has also turned a disaster into a blessing. We will help him if he encounters difficulties in the future."

“If the head of Shimo Village had been half as reasonable as Uncle Niu, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.

I have a blueprint here. Uncle Niu, please ask a blacksmith to make it for mincing meat. In the future, more minced meat will be needed to make sausages. It will be useless to chop the meat with just your hands."

The most primitive meat grinder has a simple principle. Uncle Niu studied it for a while and said, "This thing is good. I can also prepare one for my pork stall and help customers chop stuffing for free. Business will definitely be good."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Why don't you just close your stall? From now on, Aunt Niu will be the only one left in the workshop. Without Uncle Niu in charge, I won't feel at ease wherever I go."

Uncle Niu was reluctant to let go. "I've run the stall for more than ten years, how can I close it? So many neighbors are waiting to eat the meat sold by Uncle Niu, and there are so many old friends in the vegetable market. What do they want me to do?"

"Ha, could it be that Uncle Niu still has a lover that he is reluctant to part with? From the tone of your reluctance, you don't seem like an ordinary person. Does Aunt Niu know?"

Uncle Niu blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's nothing. We are all regular customers in the neighborhood. We help each other occasionally. Are you such a dishonest person?"

"Is it true?"

Shen Nanzhi was just joking, but he didn't expect that it would reveal a huge secret.

Uncle Niu was embarrassed. Why is this kid so cunning?

"Don't you have something else to do? Go now and stop teasing your Uncle Niu."

Uncle Niu's attempt to cover up his mistake only made it more obvious. Shen Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions. He dealt with some things, bought some drinks, and went to Xie's house.

Mr. Xie is a good man who cares about his family. He doesn't have a concubine. He has a silly son who is sent to school and two daughters who are not yet of age. He has a good relationship with his wife. Apart from his love of eating delicious food and drinking a little wine, he doesn't have any bad habits.

He was very happy when Shen Nanzhi came to visit, and asked the housekeeper to invite her in. When he saw her gift, he was a little puzzled: "My family makes wine. Isn't it a waste for you to bring wine as a gift?"

Shen Nanzhi put it down and said, "This shows that your wine is selling well. The store owner has been recommending it to me, so I had no choice but to buy it. I am offering my gratitude to the Buddha. Winemakers also have to drink."

Mr. Xie said happily: "That's the reason, prepare lunch, Miss Shen can eat at home."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

The old housekeeper looked at her and thought, this girl really doesn't know how to write the word "polite".

Xie Jin is still in the academy and has not returned. There are only Shen Nanzhi, Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie, and their two daughters, one named Xie Roulan and the other named Xie Roujia. They both have cheerful and simple personalities, just like Xie Jin.

Only such a simple family can raise pure and happy children. From another perspective, such children are also quite happy.

"Miss Shen, I see you've lost some weight and look better. If you lose more weight, I won't be able to recognize you."

Mrs. Xie pulled her aside and looked at her carefully. She had lost weight, her skin had become whiter, and she looked even prettier.

Shen Nanzhi said generously: "I have been losing weight. Although being a little fat is a blessing, being too fat doesn't look good. Wait a year and see if I am beautiful enough for men to look away and line up to chase me and marry me.

Then I can have a beauty pageant and choose the most handsome, caring, and gentle one as my husband."

Mrs. Xie smiled and joked, "We are all waiting for that day. I will help you with some advice."

Xie Roulan looked at her in surprise: "Can a girl choose her own husband? Then I will choose my own husband in the future."

Mrs. Xie's face darkened: "Don't be unruly. You are different from Miss Shen. I will explain it to you slowly in the future. Don't interrupt when adults are talking."

Xie Roulan was not very happy. Why were they different? Aren’t they all girls?

Shen Nanzhi understood what she meant. She was a divorced woman, so she was not as dignified and reserved as the other young lady.

Putting this topic aside, Shen Nanzhi talked about the purpose of his visit today: "Thank you, Master. My father got a new kind of grain a while ago. I have grown it in the past few years. It tastes pretty good. I thought of asking you to try making wine with it. See if it works."

"What kind of grain? I've seen all the grains on the market. Making wine is not an easy task. I can ask the masters to give it a try."

Shen Nanzhi took out ten kilograms of corn and said, "This is it. It tastes good when ground into flour. It's better than rough flour and black flour, and the yield is also high. I think I can make more money by making it into wine. Mr. Xie, why don't you give it a try? We can have long-term cooperation in the future."

Mr. Xie looked at the yellow corn and couldn't figure out what to do. "Okay, I'll try."

Shen Nanzhi said, "Thank you for your trouble, sir. This year, our village is planting this, and the harvest is not small. You won't be without raw materials. If the wine sells well, it will be a win-win situation."

Mrs. Xie's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. She was so arrogant. What win-win? It was clearly looking for the next buyer to help them digest the food. It was as if her family had taken advantage of her.

Mr. Xie didn’t think so much about it. When doing business, he only looks at the benefits. If the profits are enough, what difference does it make who you cooperate with?

The lunch was okay, with eight dishes and a soup, which was already very sumptuous for an ordinary family.

Xie Roujia, the youngest daughter of the Xie family, was only eight years old. She kept secretly watching Shen Nanzhi eat, which surprised Shen Nanzhi: "Why does the second young lady always look at me? Is there something wrong with me?"

Xie Roujia's eyes flickered. "No, no, I didn't look at you. You're overthinking."

"Really? Sorry, it was my illusion."

Mr. Xie scolded: "Don't be unruly, eat well."

"I know, Dad. I didn't do anything. You're mean to me because of her. I'm your daughter. I won't eat anymore. I'm sick of it."

Xie Roujia threw down her chopsticks and left. Mr. Xie looked embarrassed and started to get angry with Mrs. Xie again: "It's all because of you. He's too unruly. What will happen to him when he grows up?"

Mrs. Xie: "Master, the child is still young, just teach him slowly. The child didn't do anything wrong. Seeing how angry you are, do you really want to make the family unhappy?"

Shen Nanzhi ate in silence, not joining in the quarrel between the couple, and finished his meal first.

Seeing that she was fine, Xie Roulan couldn't help but vent her anger on her and whispered, "It's all your fault. How can you still eat?"

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

He couldn't even eat properly, so he put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "Thank you, sir, for your hospitality. I'm done eating and will leave now. I'm sorry to cause trouble to your family."

They stood up and left. Master Xie glared at them and hurried over to see them off: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry. It's because I didn't teach you well enough and didn't take good care of you."

"It's okay. People are xenophobic. It's always inconvenient to have more people in the life you're used to. Mr. Xie doesn't need to blame himself."

However, Shen Nanzhi would never come to his house for dinner again, or even eat at any unfamiliar person's house, so as not to be disliked and cause embarrassment to everyone.

She thought that children from a family like Mr. Xie's would be well-educated, polite and enthusiastic, but she didn't expect that they were two ignorant and naughty kids.

Mr. Xie also noticed the shortcomings of his children. He sent Shen Nanzhi away, came back with a sullen face, called his little daughter over, and asked in a cold voice: "Why are you staring at the guests? Tell the truth, or don't blame me for spanking you."

Xie Roujia was still unconvinced. Seeing that her father was really angry, she said, "I heard from the maid that she was so fat and a country girl, so she must be vulgar when eating, smacking her lips and slurping the rice like a pig. So I just watched her a few more times to see if she would smack her lips."

Master Xie gasped angrily: "Who is the one who talks too much and makes up stories about the guests? Sell him directly and teach the young lady bad things. Such a servant cannot be kept.

And you, did she smack her lips? You kept staring at her, is that polite? "

Mrs. Xie said, "Okay, the child is young, why are you so fierce? Someone who doesn't know would think that Miss Shen is your lover, and you are so protective of her."

Mr. Xie looked at her in disbelief, "How could you say such a thing? My daughter is so ignorant, it's all because of you. Miss Shen and I are friends regardless of age, she is a good wine connoisseur, just as a friend, how could you think so dirty?"

Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes. "Who would believe me if I told others that I was friends with a woman regardless of age difference? She is still a woman after all, and a divorced woman at that. Master, please pay attention to the influence. Don't blame the children for not liking her. Who would like a woman like this?"

Mr. Xie had nothing to say and turned around and walked out angrily.

Xie Roulan had a grudge against Shen Nanzhi. It was all her fault. She had caused unrest in their family. This woman was not a good person, she was a vixen.
