My best friends all traveled through the book! Marry a rough man! If you leave me, I will leave you
Chapter 24: Dogs are born but not raised
Old Mrs. Lu followed in again and distributed the food, but this time she distributed even less, only a handful of beans.
"If you don't work, eat less."
Shen Wu could think of ways to earn more money to support herself, but it was impossible to eat less this time, after all, she hadn't eaten lunch: "Mom, the doctor said that if you faint again, you'll have to get a nutritional injection."
"If I don't eat enough, I can't guarantee that I won't faint again."
Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that her heart was beating fast.
"Mom, I fainted and can't work. Let's sit down together as a family and discuss this matter and see what to do, but you can't stop me from eating."
Shen Wu then asked Xu Yin: "Enemy, don't you think so?"
Xu Yin nodded promptly.
Seeing how well the two of them cooperated, Old Lady Lu subconsciously asked, "Are you two really enemies?"
Why does she think she is the enemy?
"What else? But we are enemies, and we still have to eat." Shen Wu said as a matter of course: "If it wasn't for the food, who would care about her."
Xu Yin nodded sharply again.
Mrs. Lu...
I always feel like something is wrong, but I also feel like this makes sense.
"Forget it, Mom, just put it down. That's all. At worst, I can sneak some while I'm cooking. If it's not enough, I'll randomly pick a lucky person to go hungry."
Old Mrs. Lu confirmed that the third son married this wife just to make her angry.
It’s okay to let others starve, but you can’t let the man in the family starve. Old Mrs. Lu angrily took out some more food.
Before leaving, he told Shen Wu: "Don't eat secretly."
"Mom, look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"
Shen Wu had a pleasant voice and a pretty face, but to Old Lady Lu it sounded like a devil's voice. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to speak. She left the kitchen and saw a dog coming into the house looking for food.
"There's a dog to be born without, get out of here!"
Xu Yin added more firewood, looked at Shen Wu and said, "I always feel that she is making indirect accusations."
Shen Wu didn't care: "You can scold me if you want, it won't hurt you."
Nowadays, few families can eat meat. In the few days since Shen Wu came, they have eaten meat three times. Once was the rabbit meat hunted by Lu Xuan, once was pheasant, and then fish. On weekdays, it is normal to eat whatever vegetables are available in the vegetable garden.
Most steamed buns are made of two-grain flour, corn flour and sorghum flour. Families that can afford it will add a little white flour.
Tonight's meal is beans, steamed buns made of two grams of flour, and cornmeal porridge.
Shen Wu’s cooking tastes good, but that’s just the limitation. She can cook the same ingredients much better than others. But no matter how much she cooks, the beans still don’t taste like meat.
The mood at the table was a little somber today.
Everyone was eating with their heads down.
Long Yujiao looked at Shen Wu across from her and whispered, "Third sister-in-law, are you okay? When I was recording work points today, I heard that you fainted from exhaustion?"
She looked concerned.
No one had mentioned it before, but she took the initiative to bring it up. Shen Wu didn't seem to care and was using her as an excuse.
As expected, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Wu.
As the person involved, Shen Wu was much calmer than the others. She swallowed her meal before looking up: "Long Zhiqing, are you concerned about me?"
Shen Wu's tone was soft and sincere, but she didn't answer her at all. Instead, she threw a question to her.
Long Yujiao didn't notice anything wrong: "Of course."
"Since you care about me, let's do something practical. How about this: I'll take over your job as the scorekeeper." Shen Wu stared at her with her big eyes.
Suddenly.
The table fell silent.
Long Yujiao's smile froze on her face. It was not easy for her to get the scorekeeper job, so how could she give it to someone else? She couldn't do the work in the fields. She came from the city and had never done farm work.
After a while of silence, Shen Wu was surprised and asked, "So Long Zhiqing only expressed his concern for me verbally, but he didn't actually care about me?"
He looked as if to say, "I must have misjudged you."
"Then don't say it next time, otherwise, I'll think you're laughing at me."
……
The dining table was extremely quiet, even Old Lady Lu was silent. She looked between Long Yujiao and Shen Wu, and when she saw Long Yujiao's fair, gentle, and graceful face, her heart softened.
This is the daughter-in-law that he fell in love with at first sight. He coughed and said, "Don't talk too much while eating."
Shen Wu didn't say anything else and lowered her head to continue eating.
"Puchihahahahaha."
Lu Xiaoliu couldn't help himself, his shoulders shook as he lowered his head and laughed, unable to control himself.
Old Mrs. Lu glared at him.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
He laughed like a madman, almost laughing like a donkey.
In the end, it was Old Man Lu who knocked the bowl with his chopsticks, and Lu Xiaoliu covered his mouth and physically stopped himself from laughing.
He also winked at Shen Wu.
Shen Wu had a pretty good impression of Lu Xiaoliu and also winked back.
There was a low cough beside me.
After dinner, Li Ping and Wang Hua went to wash the dishes. Old Man Lu looked at his sons and tapped his pipe: "Don't leave yet, let's have a meeting."
Li Ping was about to come out with the bowl, but when she heard the voice, she stopped, put the bowl down again, and said with a wry smile, "I am also a member of the family. I have a meeting first. I will have this bowl later."
As he said this, he pulled a handful of Wanghua.
Wang Hua thought for a moment and said, "My husband is in the county, so I'll listen too."
Old Man Lu nodded slightly.
His eyes fell on Lu Xuan and Lu Ye: "Everyone's food rations are limited. Your two wives don't go to work, what should we do with the work points?"
Old Mrs. Lu frowned, her brows so tight that they could pinch a fly to death: "How can you really not go to work? Go to the fields and exercise more. You have to do it even if you can't."
"The doctor said that my wife is weak and gets dizzy easily when she goes out. Not only will she miss work, but it will also cost money." Lu Xuan said, "I discussed this with her today. The school in our village has been built and will open in less than a month. Before the school opens, we will definitely recruit good teachers. My wife is going to take the teacher's exam."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu forgot to attack Shen Wu for not going to work. She pointed at her and asked in disbelief, "She is the teacher?"
Shen Wu blinked her big eyes and nodded.
Old Lady Lu was angry, but when she saw Shen Wu was not angry, she became even angrier. "You want to imitate Yujiao and become a teacher? Yujiao is a university graduate. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
"Mom, you can use idioms now." Lu Xiaoliu couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Lu's accumulated emotions were interrupted by her son. She glared at him and said, "Don't talk."
Shen Wu: "Whether it is self-humiliation or not, you will know when you take the exam."
Laoya Village is a big village, with more than 30 educated youth assigned to their village. Since the school was built there this year, the students at the educated youth point have been eyeing it for a long time. When Shen Wu said she wanted to take the teacher's exam, no one thought she could pass, and they all thought she was just making it up out of laziness.
Boss Lu frowned: "What about the time she spent preparing for the exam? What if she fails?"
Lu Xuan said: "During the preparation period, I will cook at home."
"How can that be possible?" Li Ping said.
Lu Xuan looked indifferent.
Seeing his expression, Li Ping shrank her neck. Thinking of some of Lu Xuan's deeds, she felt a little scared, but then she thought again that she was right: "Then according to what Third Brother said, who would be willing to work in the fields?"
