The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

"That's right. I've also heard that the Shen family took them in out of kindness, but they were scolded in the end. They really don't know what's good for them."

"It's so hard to be a family. Sigh, this world..."

The onlookers were talking about it, and for a moment, the streets were filled with all kinds of discussions and sighs.

Shen Yan opened the door with a bang. She had had enough. She didn't expect that the Zhao mother and daughter would dare to cause trouble today.

"You just came and smashed my house last time, what do you want to do now?" Shen Yan is no longer the soft persimmon she used to be. Facing Zhao's unreasonable troubles, she bravely fought back, "Yesterday, my sister came to my house and said something sarcastic. I said a few words to her and asked her why her fiancé didn't propose marriage. She ran away in anger. I don't know what happened. Can mother blame me for this?"

Zhao's mother and daughter blushed. It was already shameful for Shen Lian to be broken off from engagement, and Shen Yan brought this up on purpose just to embarrass them.

"Shut up, you beast!"

Shen Yan listened to Zhao's accusation, but she did not show any weakness and refuted: "I shut up? Then why didn't you shut up when you came to my house to make trouble? Have you ever thought about my feelings? Also, your family smashed my things, how are you going to deal with it?"

Zhao's face turned pale, and she pointed at Shen Yan angrily and said, "You bitch! How dare you say such sarcastic things here! I'm going to tell the county government and let them punish you, you ungrateful beast!"

Shen Yan was unmoved by Zhao's threats and sneered, "Tell the county government? I welcome you to sue. You made trouble and smashed my house, but you have the nerve to come to my house to make trouble. You are really brave!"

It's not like they haven't gone to court before. Shouldn't the dowry that originally belonged to her be returned? So, what's the point of suing again? Let Zhao be beaten with fifty sticks again? She's happy with it anyway.

Zhao's mother and daughter were so angry at Shen Yan's words that their faces turned red, but they couldn't find the right words to refute.

Speaking of reporting to the police, Zhao felt a little scared. Although she wanted to embezzle Shen Yan's money, she had no excuse now and could not get any benefit for the time being, so she had to give up and pulled Shen Lian away.

Under the gaze of the onlookers, they could only grit their teeth helplessly and turned away from Shen Yan's home.

Shen Yan looked at their departing backs, but her heart was calm.

She knew that this confrontation did not solve any problems, but she was not going to let Zhao mother and daughter mess up her life again.

She is determined to continue working hard on her small business and live the life she wants without interference from anyone.

The onlookers watched this scene and expressed their support and recognition for Shen Yan.

Li family embroidery room.

Shopkeeper Li's face was as calm as water. The business of the store had been good in the past few days. Ever since Shen Yan showed her the painting of two dragons playing with a pearl, the reputation of this small store had spread and customers came in an endless stream.

After seeing off the last wave of customers, Shopkeeper Li asked his staff to close the store as it was getting late.

It just so happens that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I can’t just open the shop every day and not prepare for the New Year.

The young man praised: "It is thanks to Miss Shen that our business is so good."

"Yes, there is not a single flaw in the picture of two dragons playing with a pearl that Miss Shen embroidered. I think her skills are better than mine. Even though I have been learning needlework since I was young, I can't compare to her."

Shopkeeper Li felt inferior to Shen Yan and also recognized her embroidery skills.

The previous painting of two dragons playing with a pearl has been sold. It was originally ordered by the wife of a wealthy family. After the buyer saw it, she was extremely satisfied.

The amount of silver given was more than double the original amount, which meant that because of Shen Yan's arrival, Shopkeeper Li made some extra money, which she had not expected.

Shen Yan is really her lucky star.

Shopkeeper Li originally thought that if he saw Shen Yan again after the Chinese New Year, he would definitely discuss long-term cooperation with her.

If Shen Yan is willing to work in the Li family embroidery room for a long time, the income she brings to the room will definitely be much more, and a win-win situation can be achieved for both of them.

Anyway, Shopkeeper Li didn't want to go on like this. Although the shop she opened was very small, she opened this embroidery studio to make a living. However, she didn't expect that after opening it, it would be constantly suppressed by the big embroidery studios around it, especially "Rongxianju".

Rong Xianju relied on the size of its business to suppress Li's embroidery room and steal other people's business everywhere.

When Shopkeeper Li first met Shen Yan, it was purely accidental. He never expected that the two of them could reach a cooperation.

However, Shopkeeper Li was very happy. It was such a coincidence that she met a woman like Shen Yan who was good at embroidery. It was a good deal.

Soon, New Year's Eve arrived.

The whole town was brightly lit and every household was filled with joy.

Shen Yan woke up very early that day. In fact, the house had already been cleaned. After getting up early and making breakfast, she had a simple meal and then started to prepare for the Spring Festival.

The house has been cleaned, and now all you need to do is sweep away the dust on the surface, which is relatively simple.

The two children in the backyard had nothing to do, so they came over to help. Wang Lin also helped with cleaning. Wang Jun, who was older, helped Shen Yan prepare food for the New Year.

Some time ago, Shen Yan bought some fresh fish and raised them in the pond in the yard.

Uncle Wang from the backyard also sent some fresh eggs. All in all, there was enough food for the New Year.

Shen Yan is good at cooking, and she can make any simple ingredients into something special.

But she has a problem, that is, she doesn't like to see blood. But Wang Jun is not afraid of this. As a grown man, he naturally enjoys helping his sister do this.

So the task of killing the fish and chicken was left to Wang Jun. He grabbed two fish and a chicken and went to one side to deal with them, for fear of being seen by Sister Shen Yan and getting scared.

Wang Jun was standing beside the waterway in the yard, holding a fish in one hand and a knife in the other.

He used water to rinse the scales off the fish. The shiny scales gleamed in the water, like a beautiful painting.

Then, he carefully cut a hole in the fish with a knife and gently took out the internal organs.

His technique was skillful and his movements were smooth, without a trace of hesitation or fear.

He prepared the internal organs and put them into a small basin, then washed the fish and set it aside for later use.

While processing the fish, Wang Jun was also careful not to let Sister Shen Yan see his actions.

He knew that his sister didn't like seeing bloody scenes, so he deliberately chose a secluded place to perform the operation.

Wang Jun felt very excited. He enjoyed the process and felt like a real chef.

Although his hands were a little wet and slippery, he completed each step with great concentration.

On the side, Shen Yan was busy preparing other ingredients. Occasionally, she looked back and saw Wang Jun busy at work. She couldn't help but feel touched and proud. She knew that her brother had grown up and could handle these trivial matters by himself, which made her feel very relieved.
