Chapter 12: Ways to Make Money and the Second Household of the Shen Family
This cabbage is sweet, fresh, and crunchy, and even tastes more satisfying than meat!
She thought her cooking skills were pretty good, but she just didn't have the ingredients, but now she was really impressed by this simple stir-fried cabbage.
Shen Jianwan couldn't help but ask: "You...how did you make this cabbage and why is it so fresh and sweet?"
Shen Jianwan's cooking skills are good, but this time the surprise is more about the ingredients, but it's not easy to explain to Shen Min: "Maybe I put a little more oil in it, maybe you are more willing to put in oil and salt than you usually do."
The reason why this cabbage is so delicious is that it is grown with spring water, and because there was no one in the kitchen when she cooked it. She thought of it and added some spring water to it.
Of course, she didn't dare to add more because she was afraid of being cheated.
So Shen Jianwan felt a little guilty at this moment. Fortunately, Shen Min thought about it and nodded without any doubts.
Because the food was really delicious, but in the end it was stingy like Shen Min, so I couldn't help but eat too much for this dinner.
And in this case, she had no position. Besides, Shen Jianwan wasted it, but she was heartbroken and bleeding after eating.
It was still early after breakfast, and it was not yet time to go to the village to go to the pond.
Shen Jianwan and Shen Min tidied up the kitchen, and as they were idle for the time being, they watched Shen Zhan repair the roof of his home in the yard, laying stones on his hands.
Seeing Shen Min frowning and looking sad, Shen Jianwan couldn't help but ask: "Sister Min, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about how we're going to spend the next few days.
Hey, this mother's illness is getting worse and worse. I don't know how much money it will cost to cure her. My second brother also needs medicine for his leg. The food supply at home is about to be exhausted. I don't know if I can eat it until next month. Not to mention the autumn harvest.
Also, look at our house. It rained last night and now there are leaks in many places. The thatched roof must be very cold in winter. We haven’t got any winter clothes or thick quilts yet. In short, everything in the house requires money.
It's already July, and there are still a few months until winter. How will we survive without food and money? I'm really afraid that we won't be able to survive."
Shen Min held his chin in his hand, frowning and analyzing like a little adult, his eyes too thick to be filled with sadness.
After hearing her analysis, Shen Jianwan had to admit that everything she said was right, and the Shen family was indeed in a very difficult situation.
When she was making breakfast today, she took a look and saw that there were only more than thirty kilograms of cornmeal and about ten kilograms of rice left in the kitchen. As for the rest, there was only lard at the bottom of a can and a thin layer of salt. There are no other seasonings, and the only ones left are the five kilograms of rice and three leftover eggs that Aunt Shen sent yesterday.
Look again, their whole family is wearing patched clothes, and Shitou has not worn new clothes since he was born. They were all modified from the older brother's old clothes.
That's it, they don't have many changes of clothes, only two or three sets per person.
But now in houses with thatched roofs, whenever it rains, there is heavy rain outside and light rain inside, and no part of the house is dry.
Therefore, at present, the Shen family is not only short of food and clothing, but also needs to repair the house. More importantly, Shen's mother's condition cannot be delayed any longer, and Shen Xuan's leg also needs medical treatment.
It's Shi Shi. Because he was born prematurely and his family's nutrition couldn't keep up, he grew up to be weaker than ordinary children, so he often got sick.
Shen Jianwan looked at his face and knew that if he didn't repair his body quickly while he was still young, his life span would even be affected in the future, and it would be too late to make amends by then.
And looking at Shen Min, she is also thin, or the Shen family cannot keep up with nutrition, so everyone needs money to replenish their health.
It can be said that there is no place where they do not need money.
Thinking of Shen's mother and Shen Xuan's situation, Shen Jianwan decided to give them a look today to see if she could be cured.
As for making money, she has already thought of how to use fish to make their first pot of gold.
After catching fish, she will definitely find an opportunity to go to the town to sell fish, and then she can implement her plan.
Besides making money from fish, she has to find other ways to make money!
Just as they were thinking about it, Aunt Shen's voice came from the door of the courtyard asking them to set off to the fish pond.
"You...are you going to the fish pond?" After asking, Shen Min couldn't help but bite off his tongue when he thought that Shen Jianwan never liked crowded and messy places.
Who would have thought that Shen Jianwan nodded without hesitation, "Go, how can such a lively place be without us?"
What she said was profound, and she emphasized the word "lively" very hard.
Thinking of her previous life, Wang Xuemei asked her "follower" Song Hehua to deliberately add fuel to the fire while everyone in the village was at the fish pond, and maliciously arranged for her to have a private meeting with someone yesterday, while she pretended to be Bailian on the side, and the two of them sang in harmony to let her The story of "private meeting with a man" spread, and Shen Jianwan couldn't help but smile dangerously.
After resurrecting her life, although she has turned a blind eye to many things, especially false fame, it does not mean that she is willing to be slandered by others and tolerates bullying at will!
If Wang Xuemei and the others are still restless in this life, she doesn't mind letting them continue to know how powerful she is.
When going to the fish pond, in addition to saving her reputation and not being slandered, she also has a more important thing to do, which is to protect Shen Min in front of her.
Thinking of this, Shen Jianwan's eyes turned cold. Some people had better stop in this life, otherwise she wouldn't mind letting them remember today's lesson "profoundly".
Shen saw that Wan and the others were ready and set off.
When they arrived at the yard of the second room of the Shen family, which was less than 20 meters away from their home, Aunt Shen and her family were also ready.
Speaking of which, the second room in the Shen family belongs to the family of Shen Minghe, the only younger brother of Shen Zhan's father, Shen Minghai.
Shen Minghe and Shen's second aunt Mo gave birth to two sons and two daughters.
The 26-year-old eldest daughter Shen Chuncao and the 25-year-old eldest son Shen Yuan are already married and have wives respectively.
As for the 17-year-old son Shen Jie, the 15-year-old daughter Shen Chunyu is still unmarried.
Shen Yuan is married to Ma Laidi, and they currently have two daughters, seven-year-old Da Ya and five-year-old Er Ya.
This time, except for the married Shen Chuncao, eight members of the family, including Daya and Erya, went out for fishing.
When they saw Shen Jianwan, Second Aunt Shen and the others expressed concern for her. After knowing that she was really fine, they set off together.
The entire family was slightly surprised when they saw Shen Jianwan becoming more generous and cheerful.
The fish pond is less than two-quarters of an hour away from the Shen family. When Shen Jianwan and the others arrived, there were still many people in the village who had not come.
When they arrived, they saw Song Hehua talking to several girls and women in the village about Shen Jianwan.
As for Wang Xuemei, she will never be able to come in this life and is recuperating at the town hospital.
"Yesterday you didn't see how miserable Mei'er was. The doctor said she wouldn't be able to be saved if she came later. Her wounds were still bleeding when I arrived.
Humph, Shen Jianwan is really not a thing. He committed the scandal of having a secret meeting with a wild man, but Meier was kind enough to intercede for her and was even willing to settle down for her.
Fortunately, she was not only ungrateful, but also accused Meier of setting her up, forcing Meier to almost die. Someone as vicious as Shen Jianwan should..."
"What should it be?"
Liu Fang was just getting excited when she heard a cool swishing sound coming from behind her.
When he saw that it was Shen Jianwan, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, but then he became confident again, and no longer had the guilt of being caught speaking ill of people behind their backs.
"Hmph, it should be a thunderbolt. Some people are so vicious. Don't think that you can confuse right and wrong with a clever mouth. Those rags who have secret meetings with dog men, their appearance is just their appearance..."
