Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie
Chapter 12 Becoming the Talk of the Village
When the children brought up the stools, everyone sat down around the small table. Chen Sizhu and Chen Sanni were small so they were arranged to sit at the corner of the table. After Taoer added porridge to everyone, they all waited expectantly for Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin to speak. When the two of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating, everyone started to eat the rice and vegetables voraciously.
The Chen family's children had tasted their mother's cooking before, so they weren't too surprised, but they were impressed by the mushroom soup, and the bitter melon tasted even better. The Zhao family's girls were surprised when they ate it for the first time, because they didn't expect Aunt Zheng to have such a skill.
"Mom, I think today's dishes are really delicious. Your cooking skills are better than the chef of Fu Man Lou in town." Erhe chewed the food and praised Zheng Yuan flatteringly. There was one more thing he didn't say, that is, whether he could eat the meals cooked by his mother in the future. But he didn't dare to say it.
"Have you ever eaten food cooked by the chef of Fu Man Lou?" Zheng Yuan asked with a smile.
Erhe scratched his head awkwardly: "I smelled it outside Fumanlou, and it's not as fragrant as my mother's."
"Hahahahaha..." Everyone laughed at him.
"You don't know, your mother's cooking skills are not exaggerated. There is nothing she can't make, as long as you can't think of it. Give her a bunch of dishes, and she can make you a full banquet." Duan Minmin finally had something that could be considered a meal after so many days, and she started to brag about it.
"Cough cough..." When she heard Zheng Yuan coughing, she noticed that the children at the table were looking at her in confusion and immediately shut up.
"Auntie Duan, have you ever eaten the dishes cooked by my mother before?" Chen Sizhu, who was the youngest, couldn't help but ask.
"How is that possible, haha, it's just that I suddenly ate something so delicious today that I couldn't help but exaggerate, haha..." Duan Minmin explained awkwardly and hurriedly asked Zheng Yuan for help.
Zheng Yuan shook his head helplessly. This silly guy still spoke: "Your Aunt Duan is praising my mother. If you don't praise my mother, she will have nothing to eat in the future. Eat quickly, and don't talk while eating."
Fortunately, these children were usually suppressed by their mother, so no matter whether this sentence dispelled everyone's doubts or not, no one asked any more questions. Everyone picked up their bowls and started eating quickly, and the meal was finally finished without any trouble.
After dinner, the boys put down their chopsticks and went out. The girls quickly cleaned up the kitchen and followed them to the yard to wait for their mothers' instructions. The sun had set and the sky was gradually getting dark.
Zheng Yuan really didn't want to go back, and Duan Minmin really didn't want Zheng Yuan to go back either, but the two of them were sworn enemies before, and now they not only ate together, but also slept together. The next day, the village might invite a witch to burn them both to death.
There was no other way, the two could only say goodbye reluctantly and agreed to come back the next day. Zheng Yuan walked towards Lao Chen's house, and Duan Minmin leaned against the gate and watched her leave. Seeing the two people wanting to talk but not being able to, the children on both sides felt indescribable strangeness in their hearts, and they looked even more sad than the poor scholar and the rich lady who were forced to separate in the opera.
Zheng Yuan walked in front with his head down, and several children followed behind without daring to make a sound. At this time, many people had finished their dinner and took a rare break to go out to the roadside to enjoy the cool air and chat.
Seeing the way they looked, the gossipy spirit that had just died down began to burn again. Regardless of the bad reputation of Mrs. Zheng in the village, Wang Xiumei came up to them happily and said, "Mother Dashu, have you eaten? Were you driven out by that Zhao girl? It's really unkind of you to at least let you have a meal. Did you pay for the treatment of your head? Seeing you two crying your eyes out, don't leave any root of disease behind."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
When the people around heard her say this, they all laughed. After all, there were so many people here. No matter how fierce Old Lady Zheng was, she couldn't really fight with so many people.
How could she talk like that? Zheng Yuan frowned and glanced at the woman who spoke, and memories of her emerged in his mind.
Wang Xiumei's age should be similar to her original self. She also married into the Zhao family. Her husband is Zhao Fangxiang, and she may be a distant relative of the dead man in Duan Minmin's family. She is also a gossiper, but unlike them, she doesn't gossip in private. What she loves most is to get close to the main person and dance in front of him. She doesn't have a good relationship with Zheng Po Po and Duan Po Po.
Just when he was feeling upset, someone bumped into him. Zheng Yuan immediately started fighting mode: "You really are just making small talk by calling my mother-in-law sister-in-law. Why don't you go back and rinse your mouth? When you open your mouth, you can see all the wild vegetables you ate three days ago."
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the villagers who were watching the fun suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by Old Lady Zheng, and they all consciously stood aside.
Wang Xiumei felt ashamed and said stubbornly: "Why are you asking? I just care about you."
"Hey, this is really a grandma with a beard, it makes me laugh. I am really flattered that you still care about me. But don't bother, I not only eat well, but also eat well and have enough. My brain is also very good, anyway, it works faster than your unlubricated brain!"
After saying that, he ignored Wang Xiumei who was so angry that she kept saying "you you you..." for a long time and couldn't say anything. He straightened his chest and walked past everyone to go home. It is said that the most infuriating thing is not to have a good fight. This whining woman had to sit up in the middle of the night and slap him, beating her chest and stamping her feet, lamenting why she didn't have a good fight.
After she walked away, people who were watching the fun gathered around and started talking about it.
"This widow Zheng has a terrible mouth, Xiumei, why did you mess with her?"
"It's strange. She just said she ate. Does that mean she ate at the widow's house? Can the widow prepare meals for her?"
"I'm afraid it's true. Didn't Doctor Chen go with Old Lady Zheng today? I saw him outside seeing Old Lady Duan."
"It's really strange. When you live long enough, you can see everything. I'm afraid these two old ladies really hurt their heads, but they really reconciled?"
......
Wang Xiumei thought about Zheng Yuan's words and became angrier and angrier. What lubricant? What the hell is that? Why couldn't I say anything just now? I didn't get any advantage at all. I was so angry.
There will be one more insomniac tonight.
On the way back, Zheng Yuan could already imagine that after what happened today, she and Duan Minmin would become the talk of the village for some time. Fortunately, both of them were notorious, and these people would only talk about them behind their backs. There wouldn't be many people like Wang Xiumei who would be so foolish as to get in front of the real boss.
It doesn't matter. She doesn't want to imitate her original self and never have anything to do with Old Lady Duan because of the villagers' gossip. She will go to Duan Minmin tomorrow and show the villagers that she wants to reconcile. Even if they are suspicious, can anyone really ask a witch to burn them both because of this?
After arranging Chen Sizhu to go to Doctor Chen's house to get the medicine and sending half of it to Duan Minmin, she returned to her room. Today was so beautiful that the medicine could not be ruined. Zheng Yuan thought about drinking it tomorrow. With anticipation for tomorrow, Zheng Yuan slept the first good sleep in this strange world.
Dashu and his children gathered in the kitchen, discussing in low voices what had happened today.
"I've felt like my mother is acting abnormal ever since she hit her head. Today, she's even more abnormal. She's actually getting along so well with Aunt Duan, like real sisters. I'm always feeling very nervous, ah~" Erhe sighed.
"Who said it wasn't? The work in the fields hasn't been finished yet, and mother keeps hitting her head and fainting every other day. How are we going to get through this winter?" Dashu took over the conversation and sighed.
Xu Hui Niang looked at the two people with sad faces and asked in confusion: "Don't you think that mother has been looking pretty good these days?"
As soon as these words came out, Sanni echoed in a low voice: "I also think that mother has been doing well these past two days."
The two brothers were stunned when they heard this. Yes, their mother had not scolded them these days, nor had she gone out to fight with others at any time, and she even cooked for them herself. Although they were worried about their mother's health these days, they were no longer afraid of being scolded.
It seems to be pretty good.
