Chapter 49 Giving Gifts! a naked threat
Shen Nian: "..." I've heard a long time ago that there is a man in the village who is devoted to his mother's family and doesn't even care about his own son.
After returning home, Shen Nian put down the basket on his back and poured out the herbs inside.
“Brother, these herbs are given to you.”
Shen Qian was drying medicinal herbs. He glanced at the herbs and knew that his sister had gone to the mountains again. He was helpless.
As soon as Shen Nian saw his elder brother's expression, he knew that he was about to teach him something, so he turned his head and ran away.
Before she could take a few steps, there was a knock on the door.
“Is anyone there?” The voice of the speaker was as clear as a lark.
Shen Nian heard the sound, turned around and walked out.
I saw a girl in green clothes who was fifteen or sixteen years old. She was well-dressed, with a silver hairpin on her head. Her eyes were bright and her temperament was not that of a country girl.
“Who are you looking for?” Shen Nian asked.
The girl gave a slight bow and said, "Is this the home of young master Shen Man?"
Lao Gao, who heard the sound, curled his lips when he heard this.
What a young master, he is clearly a brat.
With all kinds of disdain in her heart, the old lady showed a very kind smile on her face, "This is his family, I am Shen Man's grandmother, what does the girl want from him?"
The girl she found gave her a customary salute, and then said: "Greetings to the old lady, this servant is the maid of Zhang's cousin Zhang's family in the county. Today she is bringing my young lady to give a thank-you gift to Young Master Shen Man."
She didn’t say why she was thanking him, she turned around and shouted towards the door.
Two men dressed as servants came in carrying gifts of thanks.
When Mr. Gao saw so many good things, greed flashed in his eyes.
He pretended to be a family member and said, "What can a child do to help? Your lady is so polite. The Fourth Brother's family, why don't you hurry up and pour tea for the guests?"
“Hey, I’ll go right away.” Gao Yuehong recovered from the ecstasy of sudden wealth and walked back to the back room without turning her head three times.
The maid in green clothes said hurriedly: "We still have to report back to the master, so don't bother."
Gao Yuehong was afraid that the second room would monopolize this thing, so she immediately stopped and stood guard next to a pile of thank-you gifts.
The maid was a little speechless and continued: "Where is Mr. Shen Man? My lady said that these things will be delivered to him."
Li Xiuniang, who had just arrived, was very puzzled when she heard Shen Nian explain the cause and effect, "Did this girl find the wrong person? Brother Man is only a five-year-old child, so he shouldn't be able to help the noble person."
The maid in green didn't seem to expect that someone would push out the ready-made benefits. She looked at her in surprise and said, "You can't be wrong. He is the young master of your house."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and then added: "Madam, there is no need to be suspicious. We will not make this trip without investigating clearly."
Still didn’t say a word about anything specific.
It’s not that she didn’t want to say it, but the fact that she was abducted by a kidnapper yesterday was harmful to her family’s reputation, so it was too late to cover it up.
Li Xiuniang took them to the courtyard of the second house after hearing what the maid said.
Old Mrs. Gao and Gao Yuehong watched Xie Li being carried to the second room. They wanted to stop him but were stopped in place by a look from the maid.
"Damn it, even a little maid dares to flick her eyes at me. Wait, when Lao Wu is admitted to the imperial examination, I will let these dogs look down on me." Lao Gao said angrily.
Gao Yue Hongxin said what's the use of just talking, and hurriedly came up with an idea: "Mom, you are the head of the family, there is no problem in going to the second room to see. Brother Man is a grandson, and he should be filial to you when he gets a thank you gift." right."
Lao Mrs. Gao felt that there was something wrong with this, so he followed her mother-in-law to the courtyard of the second house.
The maid in green clothes saw Shen Man mentioned by her young lady, thanked her, and said goodbye.
Meeting Mr. Gao and his wife at the door, they nodded slightly and left with them. "Lao Er's family, what are you going to do with these things?" Lao Gao asked.
The gifts given by the maid include rice noodles, cloth, snacks, rice paper, etc. They are all practical things.
Li Xiuniang pretended not to see her mother-in-law's ugly face and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have yours. When I pack them up, I will send them to you on a special trip."
After all, the mother-in-law is the elder, and she is also in charge of the family, so it is not appropriate not to give her anything.
Gao Yuehong watched the second room getting better and better, and she was so sore that she felt like she had been soaked in a pickle jar, and her voice was faint.
“Second sister-in-law may have forgotten that the family has not yet been divided, and my mother is the head of the family.”
"I remember, didn't I tell you everything, when I finish packing, I will send it to my mother." Li Xiuniang smiled softly and virtuously, and everyone who saw it would say "good wife".
Shen Nian and Brother Man sat on the edge, watching their mother fight with the old Gao family and the young Gao family, their eyes full of interest.
There is no way that the countryside is too boring. There are no storytellers and no opera listeners. All I can do is watch the pros and cons of the East and the West.
Everyone is trying to survive in the last days, and there are rarely such "lively" times, so Shen Nian loves to watch it and is always on the front line of eating melons.
At this time, Gao Yuehong spoke, and she stood on the moral high ground as soon as she spoke, "Second sister-in-law, don't evade the important and take the easy. What I mean is that these things should be given to mother for distribution."
Li Xiuniang clapped her hands a few times and said, "The fourth brother and sister can even avoid the important and take the easy. They are worthy of being members of the Shen family.
However, I have to make a slight correction. These are the thank-you gifts given to Brother Man, and neither his father nor I will touch them.
Giving everything to your mother means being filial to your elders. If you give everything to your mother, then the Shen family's face will be completely lost if word spreads. The fifth brother may also be ridiculed by his classmates. "
Gao Yuehong was originally happy to be praised, but after hearing what she said later, she was very unconvinced.
He wanted to shamelessly fight for a room and something for them, but was interrupted by the old Mr. Gao who cared about his son's reputation.
"The second daughter-in-law is interested." Lao Gao said innocently, "Anyway, I'm here, I can choose for myself."
While talking, he took a dozen rice papers, two boxes of cakes, and only one kind of cloth...
I can’t wait to take it all at once.
Shen Nian suddenly said: "Brother Man, you didn't ask before what eating like an ugly thing means, this is it."
Brother Man looked at old Mr. Gao, then at Gao Yuehong, and nodded with a taught expression.
"I see."
Lao Gao's face turned red and he stared at them fiercely.
Shen Nian rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you staring at us? Did I say something wrong? If you really think I said something wrong, I will ask my father when he comes back."
threaten!
A naked threat!
Mr. Gao threw down his things angrily and said angrily: "Second daughter-in-law, look at the good daughter you have raised."
Shen Man didn't know if it was because he was naturally dark or on purpose, so he said: "Sister, I'm complimenting you, thank you."
Shen Nian was startled and almost laughed out loud. He said cooperatively, "Thank you for the compliment. I will keep up the good work."
Lao Gao almost fell down in anger, took some things that Lao Wu could use and left angrily, never wanting to come to the second room again.
Gao Yuehong wanted to grab some more. When she saw Shen Nian playing with a stone, she was frightened and ran away.
Mom, that girl Shen Nian is so scary.
