After farming, I opened a family tree
Chapter 24 Asking for Mutton Soup
When Liu came back, she was seen by Wang.
Not only did Shen Dashan and Liu have full baskets on their backs, they also had large and small bags in their hands.
Shen Wen naturally smelled the scent and licked the corner of his mouth quietly.
"Dad, Mom. Uncle has always been filial to grandma, and he will definitely send some to nourish her."
As he said this, he glanced at Old Lady Shen.
"That's not necessarily true."
The smell of meat wafted from next door almost every day, but it was not clear if the eldest wife had sent over a piece of meat.
It’s not that Old Mrs. Shen didn’t smell this smell, but she was really scared by that girl Shen Tang some time ago.
But today, I couldn't resist the smell of this mutton.
As for pork, we can eat it a few times a year, but mutton is hard to come by.
Moreover, this mutton is very nutritious!
She has been feeling tired recently, and this mutton soup is just right to nourish her body.
In addition, the eldest grandson has worked hard in his studies, so he also needs to be nourished. The younger grandson is in the period of growth, so he also needs to drink something.
The more Old Lady Shen thought about it, the more she felt she was right.
He put his hands behind his back, walked out the door, and in a few steps he stood outside the courtyard of the main house.
Shen Tang was leaning on Liu's shoulder, watching her knife skills.
There was a knock on the door, and Shen Dashan got up to open it.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Shen Dashan scratched his head.
"Get out of the way. I'm not dead. Why can't I, as a mother, come to my son's house?"
Old Mrs. Shen spoke in a ferocious tone.
Shen Tang saw Old Lady Shen walking towards the kitchen.
"Go away, you little bitch."
"You eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks at home every day, but you don't even think of sending some to your mother. How unfilial!"
Old Mrs. Shen wanted to reach out and push Shen Tang away, but Shen Tang dodged nimbly.
"If you don't have meat to eat, go find my second uncle. You live with them, and you still go to your eldest son's house to ask for food. It's true that you are getting thick-skinned as you get older."
Old Mrs. Shen had seen Shen Tang's mouth before, and although she was angry when she heard this, she did not forget the important matter.
Old Mrs. Shen walked to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot.
The rich, milky white mutton soup rushed directly into Old Lady Shen’s nose.
She had never seen this milky white mutton soup in her decades of life. It had no smell of mutton at all.
Many years ago, Old Lady Shen heard from some traveling peddlers that this white mutton soup was something only the nobles in the capital could eat.
"Liu, bring this pot of mutton soup."
Old Mrs. Shen gave orders to Liu in a haughty manner.
"Where to take it?"
"Of course I'll take it to the next door. I'm old, so this thing should be given to me first!"
Old Mrs. Shen said this and gave Liu a cold look.
Liu immediately rolled her eyes back.
"You! Well, I tell you, even if we split up, I'm still your mother-in-law!"
"Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't give you this mutton soup."
Liu spoke patiently.
"You are the elder, so you have a share of this mutton soup, but you can't take the whole pot away."
As Liu spoke, she took out a bowl and scooped out a large spoonful of mutton soup with a few pieces of mutton in it.
"This is your soup, nothing more."
When Liu saw her mother-in-law come in, she knew that something bad was going to happen, but as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't go too far.
Old Mrs. Shen looked at the bowl of soup handed to her and was obviously not satisfied.
There's still a lot in the pot!
"Dashan, you're a dead man! A grown man standing there, the woman in the family has the final say!"
When Shen Dashan heard this, his face also turned gloomy.
He strode up to the two of them.
When Old Mrs. Shen saw her son's gloomy face, she thought Shen Dashan was going to teach Liu a lesson.
"In the surrounding villages, which daughter-in-law doesn't take good care of her mother-in-law? If it were you, this outsider..."
"If you came here today to drink this mutton soup, then take this bowl. If you came here to teach Hui Niang a lesson, then hurry back to the second brother's house."
Shen Dashan took the soup bowl from Liu's hand and handed it to Old Mrs. Shen.
Old Mrs. Shen widened her eyes, looking incredulous.
Is this still her eldest son who usually keeps silent?
"From now on, whatever we cook at home that you want to eat, just come and get it. I won't deduct your share, but if you want to take it away and give it to Dahe's family, that's impossible."
Shen Dashan went straight to the point.
He had been holding this in his heart for a long time. On one side were his wife and daughter, and on the other was his mother who gave birth to him.
But a word his daughter said unintentionally before made him wake up completely.
Parents and children can only accompany you for a part of the journey, but the one who will accompany you for the rest of your life is your bedmate.
As for what the daughter said, that the people around her were a burden to her, it was automatically ignored.
Shen Dashan recalled that there were many people in the village who showed goodwill to the Liu family.
But in the end, he moved her and married her despite Mrs. Shen's opposition.
He also saw that Liu had a difficult time at home in recent years.
Although he would protect her, he also knew that he might not be able to protect her when he was not at home.
Now that the family has separated, Old Mrs. Shen only cares about herself and Shen Dahe's family.
Then there is no need for me to worry about filial piety.
A loving mother and a filial son first require the mother's kindness.
"This soup, do you want to drink it here, or carry it? Or, do you want to not drink it at all?"
Old Mrs. Shen was frightened by Shen Dashan's appearance.
He immediately reached out to take the mutton soup.
Old Mrs. Shen was in a dilemma after receiving it.
This bowl of mutton soup won’t be enough to share if I take it back. Judging from the temperament of the second brother’s family, they will definitely make a fuss.
Forget it, I'll just drink it all myself.
Although one bowl is a lot, just think of it as a tonic for your body.
After all, peace and tranquility at home is more important. At worst, I can ask Boss Shen for it later.
Old Mrs. Shen understood instantly.
So, when Shen Tang saw Old Lady Shen, he directly pulled a small stool from the yard.
He took the mutton soup and started to taste it.
hiss--
As soon as she took the first bite, Mrs. Shen’s eyes lit up.
Fortunately, I didn’t take this bowl of soup back.
Shen Tang saw that Old Lady Shen didn't seem to be afraid of the heat and drank it in a few gulps.
The mutton was eaten up and the bottom of the bowl was empty in an instant.
"I won't take this bowl away."
Old Mrs. Shen stood up, wiped her mouth, and straightened her hunched back.
Slowly walked out the door.
Loving her children and grandchildren is just an illusion. In fact, what Old Mrs. Shen loves most is herself.
Shen Tang sneered in his heart.
-
"Mom, this is—"
Shen Dahe watched Old Mrs. Shen enter the yard empty-handed.
"The Dashan family has turned their backs on all relatives and even kicked my mother out!"
Old Mrs. Shen covered her face and her tone was extremely sad.
"Brother, they really are going too far!"
"Let's just forget it, Mother doesn't even care!"
Shen Dahe and Liu followed what Old Lady Shen said and cursed.
"I'm a little tired today. Don't call me for dinner. I'll rest first."
Old Mrs. Shen walked quickly into the house.
Shen Wen frowned when Old Lady Shen passed by him.
This is the taste of mutton soup.
Shen Wen frowned. Didn’t he say he was kicked out?
Shen Wen looked in the direction where Old Lady Shen left, with suspicion in his eyes.
Only after Old Mrs. Shen entered the house did she dare to put her hand down.
It was a close call, my youngest son’s family almost smelled it.
