The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 145 Going to town

After a round of visits, Su Wanwan also discovered that the people in the Shen family were pretty nice. At least they appeared to be very friendly on the surface. She liked this kind of atmosphere.

Hearing that she and Shen Yuan were going to the town today, Shen Songqing took out a bag of brown rice that Shen Hua had sent back yesterday, and also put a bag of eggs in it, and asked them to take it to the second brother's house in the town.

Shen Hua came back yesterday and stayed for such a long time before leaving. I’m afraid that the second son’s wife already knew that he came to Daliushu Village and helped them.

He didn't want to put the second brother and Shen Hua in a difficult position, and they didn't need the bag of brown rice. He kept it in mind, but it would be better to send the things back.

Su Wanwan also learned about the situation of her second uncle's family from her aunt, and felt that her uncle and aunt were really thoughtful in doing things.

Through what happened yesterday, Su Wanwan also realized that although the second aunt was not that good, the second uncle and this cousin should still be okay, otherwise they would not have come back secretly to deliver food.

Uncle and aunt’s idea was correct. They naturally didn’t want to make things difficult for second uncle and cousin. Su Wanwan told Shen Yuan about this when she returned.

At the same time, I also took out the brown rice that my uncle left here yesterday. I thought it would be inappropriate to send it back intact, as if I was trying to distance myself from the matter, so I simply replaced it with better rice.

The polished rice was mixed with some brown rice, so it was a little different from what he brought back.

The aunt gave her twenty eggs, and she added thirty more, making a total of fifty eggs.

I won’t take more. Given the current situation, this much is enough.

Shen Yuan watched her sorting these things and thought that his wife was very kind and careful, so he immediately went to help lift them onto the ox cart.

Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Yunyi looked on with envy, they really wanted to go with their father and mother, but their father said that it was a disaster year and it was not safe outside.

They were good kids, so they just waited at home, just in time to pull out all the weeds in the vegetable garden.

It’s not far from the town. This is Su Wanwan’s second time to Pingyang Town.

The last time I was brought back from the county town by Shen Yuan, I happened to pass by and didn’t even stop.

Because of the drought, the town was not very lively and many shops were even closed.

Shen Yuan took Su Wanwan directly to the blacksmith shop.

On the way, she had shown Shen Yuan the drawings of the wheat thief. Shen Yuan was naturally very happy. Once the wheat thief was made, he would be able to do the work of five or six others when harvesting wheat in a few days.

The blacksmith shop business was also very quiet. After all, in ancient times, only a few people could afford iron tools. Farmers' farm tools were passed down from generation to generation, and a hoe might be used for many lifetimes.

The drawings were not given to the blacksmith, so Su Wanwan specially drew the ironware part on the way, and also took a ruler to ask Shen Yuan about the unit of measurement and determined the size.

A business came to the door, and although the blacksmith didn't understand why the blade was so strange, he happily took the business.

The iron tools for the curved plow and the blades for the threshing hammer cost a total of five taels of silver.

Su Wanwan took a look around and already had a basic idea of ​​the prices of goods in that era. This ironware was really expensive.

Five taels of silver is almost enough for a whole family to live on for a year.

After customizing these, Shen Yuan still had to go to the kiln workshop to customize the toilet stuff. He happened to pass by the restaurant where Shen Hua worked, so he planned to deliver the things there first.

Unexpectedly, before he reached the restaurant, he saw a woman at the door pinching Shen Hua's ear and dragging him out.

"You two are so bold that you dared to deceive me. Are you using the money to support those poor relatives of your Shen family? You didn't give a single penny of last month's wages to your family..."

The old woman seemed to have used a lot of strength, and Shen Hua cried out in pain:

"Mom, please be gentle, I'm still working."

Shen Hua was speechless. His mother really didn't care about his face.

"Oh.....Just go home and fight, the child is grown up now..."

An old man nearby reached out to pull him away anxiously, but was pushed away by the old woman. She did let go of Shen Hua, but yelled at the old man:

"Shen Songming, you are a traitor. You used my money to support your poor relatives, and you even learned to hide your own money..."

There were people all around, and seeing how powerful the old lady was, they kept whispering and talking.

Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan outside were stunned.

The old lady was their second aunt Feng Chunyun, and the old man was their second uncle Shen Songming.

One year after Shen Yuan came back, Shen Songming and Shen Hua went back to Daliushu Village once. He only met them but not his second aunt.

He suddenly understood why his eldest aunt and second aunt were not on good terms.

My aunt is also hot-tempered, but she has a kind heart and a very good mind.

It would be bad enough that the second aunt looked down on the Shen family, but she actually treated her husband and son in this way.

Su Wanwan was completely speechless.

She felt that all men loved their face, and it was really embarrassing to be beaten up by her own mother at work.

I feel quite sympathetic towards Shen Hua.

"Mom, don't say such harsh words. My father and I earned our own money. What do you mean by taking your money? It's obviously our family that has been supporting my grandparents' family these years..."

Shen Hua was about to explode with anger. It was enough to have a mother who couldn't figure things out.

Back then, my maternal grandparents did lend some money to my father to open a workshop to grind sesame oil, but my father had already paid back the money long ago, and even paid extra interest.

In recent years, my grandparents' business has been in decline. My mother often has to use silver to subsidize the business and send sesame oil to my grandparents' grain and oil shop. My grandparents still owe them a lot of silver.

"You bastard, if your grandfather hadn't lent us money back then, we wouldn't be where we are today. You're just ungrateful, you ungrateful bastard..."

Come again, come again.

Shen Hua has a headache.

He acknowledged the kindness of his maternal grandparents, but his mother kept preaching to him, making him feel like his family owed them something, as if they had to give all the money they earned to them to show their gratitude.

Shen Yuan's face also turned dark. When faced with such a woman, he felt sympathy for his second uncle and even more sympathy for Shen Hua.

"That's enough, stop talking!"

Shen Yuan was about to squeeze in when suddenly an angry roar came from the crowd.

When Feng Chunyun saw that Shen Songming was yelling at her, she also became angry and raised her hand to pounce on him.

A large hand grabbed her wrist.

Shen Yuan exerted force and Feng Chunyun was thrown out. He staggered and fell to the ground.

When Shen Hua saw that it was Shen Yuan, he opened his mouth and ran over immediately.

"Brother Yuan, why are you here? Don't be angry, that's my mother, you haven't seen her yet."

Shen Hua was a quick-witted person. He knew that his nephew had knocked his aunt to the ground, which would not sound good if people told about it, so he hurriedly tried to smooth things over for him.

Having never met his aunt, he thought that since the old lady had bullied his uncle, it was reasonable for him to help.

Shen Yuan was stunned. Su Wanwan saw this and immediately understood Shen Hua's idea. She hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Ah? It turned out to be Second Uncle's wife. Don't blame me. Shen Yuan and I didn't know either. We thought someone was bullying Second Uncle."

After saying that, he stepped forward and pretended to help Feng Chunyun.
