Shen Rou and her friends returned to Shenjia Village on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. As soon as they entered the village, many villagers saw a horse-drawn carriage coming into the village. Everyone was curious about whose rich relative this was.
Grandma lifted the car curtain and greeted everyone. Only then did they see who it was and were amazed.
“Sister-in-law, you and your granddaughter have been away for half a year and made a fortune, and you actually came back in a carriage.”
"What fortune? This carriage is rented."
The woman who had a feud with my grandmother said dismissively, "I told you that? A carriage costs hundreds of taels of silver. How can you, the old and the young, possibly afford one?"
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, grandma was furious. She deliberately reached out and touched her head, revealing the gold bracelet on her wrist.
The villagers were immediately surprised and said, "Her aunt, she even wears a big gold bracelet when she goes out. This must be a lot of silver!"
"My granddaughter bought this for over a hundred taels of silver."
"Oh my god! One hundred taels of silver is enough to build five large tiled houses. How can you bear to wear it on your hand? What if you lose it?"
"I don't want it, but Xiaorou bought it and it would be a shame if she didn't wear it."
"Her aunt, you are a filial granddaughter."
"Xiao Rou, the three siblings have taken our surname Shen. We are now members of the Shen family."
"I heard from people in Jiangxing Village that Jiang Tanhua didn't want his children anymore and had crossed out their names from the Jiang family tree."
Shen Rou looked at the woman who was speaking and said coldly: "Grandma, it is us three sisters who want to sever ties with Jiang Zongwei, this unfaithful man. It's not that the Jiang family doesn't want us, but that we three sisters don't want the Jiang family."
"Aren't they all the same?"
"How can it be the same? We now share my mother's surname, Shen, and will have nothing to do with the Jiang family in the future."
"Blood is thicker than water. Even if Jiang Tanhua is wrong, he is your father. This is an unchangeable fact. Without him, you three siblings wouldn't exist."
"If you have not experienced their suffering, do not advise them to be kind; if you do not know their pain, do not advise them to be wrong; if you have not suffered their sin, do not advise them to forgive."
"This girl is very clever and eloquent. No wonder Jiang Tanhua doesn't want you."
Shen Rou's deep eyes looked sharply at the old woman who was speaking, and she retorted bluntly: "If he wants you, you can be his mother or his wife, but you are so old, if he goes back, it will be like putting up a coffin. He definitely doesn't want you. But you can go to his house and sell yourself as a slave, that's fine."
"You and that bitch, come down here, I'll kill you."
Seeing Old Mrs. Zhang scolding her granddaughter, the grandmother roared, "Mrs. Zhang, if you dare to scold my granddaughter, I will go down and tear your stinky mouth apart."
"Grandma, don't argue with an ignorant village woman."
Mrs. Zhang was jumping up and down like a shrew and was being pulled by several villagers.
"Who is the village woman? Come down and let's have a good chat."
"Grandma, why would we argue with that shrew when we get home?"
"This damn bitch deserves a beating."
"Don't leave, who deserves a beating?"
"Ye Qing, go forward."
"Yes."
The carriage continued to move forward, and the voice of Mrs. Zhang cursing like a shrew echoed throughout the village.
The good mood of going home was instantly ruined by her words. Seeing that their elder sister was unhappy, Shen Xue and Shen Nan hurriedly sat beside her and held her hand.
He said cautiously: "Sister..."
"It's okay. I won't argue with this old woman."
"Xiao Rou, don't listen to her gossip."
"I've let it go a long time ago."
"My granddaughter is generous and tolerant. She will definitely be a great figure when she grows up."
Shen Rou said without hiding anything: "I have always been."
Her words made several people smile.
When they arrived at the door of the Shen family's old house, the family was sitting on the kang and chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of wheels. They all came out to check.
My uncle Shen Dashan shouted, "Mom, Xiaorou, you're back."
"Boss, we are back."
The three children shouted in unison: "Uncle..."
Shen Dashan touched Shen Xue's head and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue is back, let your uncle see, our Xiaoxue is getting more and more beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment, uncle."
"Grandpa talks about you guys every day."
"Where's my grandpa?"
"I went to visit someone."
"Xiaojun, go call your grandfather back."
"okay!"
Shen Rou helped her grandmother get off the carriage, and the whole family gathered around to ask about her well-being.
"Mom, is it cold on the road?"
"not cold."
"Second brother, help Ye Qing take the things off the carriage."
"understood."
Grandma returned to the main house and said with emotion: "Home is still the best. There are many nests, but no place is worse than your own doghouse."
"Grandma, I've made you suffer with me for the past six months. Please stay home with Grandpa next year!"
"How can that be possible? Who will help you open a breakfast shop?"
"Let's talk about it then!"
At this time, Shen Jun called his grandfather back. When he saw Shen Xue touching her head, tears filled his eyes.
"Er Ya, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back home. Otherwise, grandpa won't be able to face your mother when he goes downstairs."
"Grandpa, you are not allowed to say unlucky words during the New Year."
"Grandpa won't tell. Let Grandpa see that our Erya has grown taller and prettier."
"Grandma and my elder sister made delicious food for me every day to nourish my body, so I grew taller."
"That proves that our Erya is loved by everyone."
"Xiao Nan, come and let grandpa hug you."
"Hello, Grandpa."
"Okay, okay, everything is fine with you guys coming back. You must have been cold on the journey! Come on the kang and warm yourself up."
"There are thick blankets in the carriage, so we are not cold."
"Our Xiaonan has grown taller in the past six months."
"Grandma and big sister cook delicious food. Xiaonan eats a lot and grows taller."
Shen Rou took out the gifts from the bundle and said, "Grandpa, I brought you tea and tea sets, so that you can also experience the rich life of the old man in the city."
"This is such a waste. Rural people don't care about things. They can drink enough well water, so why would they need tea leaves and tea sets?"
"Grandpa, this tea set was made in our own porcelain kiln."
After hearing this, several people were surprised and asked, "Our own porcelain kiln? What's our own porcelain kiln?"
Shen Rou smiled and said, "The porcelain kiln that I opened in partnership with others has now grown to a considerable size."
Several people were stunned. They didn't expect Shen Rou to be so capable. She had her own breakfast shop and porcelain kiln in just over half a year. They couldn't believe it.
Many men cannot do this, but she, a girl in her teens, is so courageous and bold that they admire her.
Shen Rou took out two silver bracelets from her bag and handed them to her aunt and second aunt.
"Aunt, Second Aunt, this is my New Year's gift to you. I hope you like it."
The two took the bracelets, their eyes full of surprise and emotion.
"Xiao Rou, you are so thoughtful. This bracelet is so beautiful. My aunt likes it very much."
Second Aunt also said: "Xiao Rou, Second Aunt likes you too. You are the pride of our family. How is your porcelain kiln business?"
"is acceptable."
"After the New Year, can you ask your cousin to go with you to help?"
"can."
"That's great. Let him go out and see the world."
Shen Jun looked at Shen Rou excitedly, "Xiao Rou, don't worry, I'm going to do my job well and will never cause you any trouble."
"I believe you."
My aunt quickly said, "Xiaorou, why don't you take Xiaoming out to see the world?"
"As long as my cousin is willing to go, I'd be happy to go."
Shen Ming immediately said happily: "Xiao Rou, I'm willing."
"Xiaoxue, take out everyone's new clothes and let them try them on."
"it is good."
"Grandpa, eldest uncle, second uncle, and two cousins, here are your new clothes."
"Do we have any new clothes? It's such a waste of money. It's not easy for you to save money."
"Grandpa, you should wear new clothes during the New Year."
"You spent a lot of money!"
“Isn’t the purpose of making money to provide a good life for your family?”
Several people were moved beyond words.
"Where are my two cousins?"
"They are all married and return to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
They went to try on clothes, and Shen Rou came out of the yard and saw Ye Qing sitting in the carriage.
"Ye Qing, bring the carriage in and spend the New Year at my grandma's house."
"How can that be? It's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to be here. This place is not far from Youzhou. I will go back to the military camp for the New Year and come to pick you up to take you back to Yunzhou during the Lantern Festival."
"It's so cold, it'll take at least four or five days to get from Beizhou to Youzhou. You can just celebrate the New Year here!"
"Riding a horse is fast, and it will take three or four days at most. I can just go to the military camp and celebrate the New Year with everyone before the New Year."
"Do you really want to go?"
"Master, I was ordered to protect you. You don't need protection at home. It's just right for me to go back to the barracks for the New Year. I can do both."
"That's fine. I'll bring you some instant noodles so you can have something warm on the way."
"Thank you, Miss Shen. Do you have a message for the Master?"
"Tell him Happy New Year."
"it is good."
Ye Qing unloaded the carriage and pushed it into the yard. Shen Rou handed him a bundle and he climbed onto the horse.
"Miss Shen, I'm leaving."
"be careful on the road."
"it is good."
