Chapter 11 Rich

 Wu Qiuniang accepted it with a smile.

Shen Mu also handed her the three one hundred tael silver notes and the ten taels of broken silver.

The total amount of this money is four hundred and two taels, which is enough even if Shen Mu takes the provincial examination and the travel expenses to Beijing for the national examination.

Wu Qiuniang collected the money and put it away, and said happily: "Now that's good, your father will have travel expenses to take the provincial examination next year."

The whole family laughed when they heard this.

At this moment, Shen Yunxuan's stomach growled.

Everyone else looked at him, and Shen Yunxuan held his stomach and said, "My sister and I have been running around all morning, and we haven't had lunch yet."

Wu Qiuniang said angrily: "You two silly kids, after selling so much money, you don't know how to buy some food in the town to fill your stomach."

"Mom, where is the roe deer I shot yesterday?" Shen Yunxuan suddenly remembered and said.

It’s so hot, don’t let it go bad.

I originally planned to sell it in town today, but as soon as the mushrooms were sold, I forgot to bring them with me.

"We saw that you forgot to take it, and we were afraid that it would go bad, so we have already processed it and salted it." Wu Qiuniang said with a smile.

At first I thought it was a pity that such a big roe deer couldn't be sold, but now that we have so much money, it would be nice to give this roe deer a teething ceremony for the children.

She continued: "Your father got a cage for those two rabbits and they have been raised."

Shen Yunxuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's good to raise, so I caught it alive especially for my sister."

"Mom has already made a meal, but it's not as delicious as Tang'er's. It's getting late, so let's make do with it." Wu Qiuniang said and went to the kitchen.

Shen Jintang thought of the boiled vegetables she wanted, and quickly said: "Big brother and second brother, you peel some garlic first, I will boil an egg, and we will mix it with eggs and garlic to eat."

Shen Yun banished the two brothers and quickly agreed.

Finally, they went to the vegetable field in front to pick a few cucumbers and made a cucumber salad.

The family was eating when they heard someone calling the door.

Chen Yunqing listened carefully and said, "It seems to be my grandmother's voice."

After saying this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up: "I'll open the door."

When she opened the door, she saw that it was indeed Mrs. Shen standing menacingly outside the door, followed by Shen Song, who had a sly look on her face.

Shen Yun said: "Grandma, have you had lunch? Do you want to eat together?"

But Mrs. Shen pushed him away and went in with Shen Song.

When Shen Mu and Wu Qiuniang saw her walking in, they both put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up, greeting: "Mom, have you had lunch? Come and eat together."

Mrs. Shen took a look at the boiled vegetables, cold cucumbers, and the small half bowl of eggs and garlic on the table, and waved her hands in disgust.

"We've already eaten." She cleared her throat and said, glancing around: "I heard that a big carriage came to your house to deliver money?"

Wu Qiuniang and Shen Mu were startled. Just as they were about to say something, Shen Jintang put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Where did my grandmother hear this? It's true that a carriage came to our house, but why should they send it to my house?" Money?"

Old Mrs. Shen choked. She didn't believe it at first, but the children in the village were rumored to have noses and eyes, so she still came to take a look with suspicion.

If she really wanted to send money to them, she would have to leave some of it no matter what.

Seeing what Shen Jintang said, Shen Mu and Wu Qiuniang swallowed the words that were on their lips.

Mrs. Shen's cloudy eyes rolled around, and she said again: "Then why did the carriage come to your house?"

At this time, Shen Yunban also closed the door and walked in. He heard his little sister say: "That's my father's student. I wanted to take a few days off because of something at home, so I came here."

Shen Yunxian wanted to laugh when he heard this, but Shen Yunxuan couldn't hold it in anymore. He spit out a mouthful of rice, and then coughed a few times: "Ahem, I ate in a hurry and choked."

His father does not have a student as old as Shopkeeper Chen.

Shen Song's eyes have been fixed on Wu Qiuniang since he came in, without even turning his eyes.

When Shen Mu saw this, his face immediately turned dark.

"Shen Song, is there something dirty on your sister-in-law? Why are you staring at her?"

After hearing this, Shen Song slowly looked away.

He couldn't help but secretly thought, he didn't know what kind of bad luck his eldest brother had, but his eldest sister-in-law, a beautiful and rich girl from the town, actually married him.

It's pity that he was a talented man, but he ran away from his wife within two years of marrying her.

As a result, he now stays alone in an empty house every night, and can only find some widows to comfort him.

In fact, his wife was beaten away alive by him. He did not do his job all day long, and when he came back after drinking too much, he would beat others. His wife couldn't bear it and ran away.

Mrs. Shen here couldn't help but feel disappointed when she heard that it was a student who came to ask for leave.

But she had come all the way, so naturally she didn’t want to go back empty-handed: “I’ll put some eggs in your house for me. Your second uncle is in poor health after drinking all day long, so he needs to eat more eggs to replenish his health. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yun frowned and did not move.

It's not that he doesn't want to be a filial grandson, it's just that his grandparents are too partial.

I wish I could lie down on their whole family and suck all their blood, and feed all of it to my second uncle.

Shen Mu sighed, feeling helpless towards the parents who raised him.

"Xian'er, go and pack all the eggs at home for your grandmother and let her take them away." Shen Mu said.

Shen Yunban then went to get it.

After bringing the eggs over to her, Mrs. Shen pushed them away with her hand and said, "That's it. It's not enough to fill the gap between your teeth."

Shen Jintang couldn't help it when she heard this. She sneered and said: "Grandma really got an advantage and behaved well. According to you, the gap between my second uncle's teeth was chiseled with a sky-opening ax, right?"

Chen Yunban couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing.

Shen Yunxuan also burst out laughing.

Even Shen Mu and Wu Qiuniang couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Shen gave Shen Jintang a strange look, then stepped forward to touch her forehead.

She always felt that something was wrong. Sister Tang used to be stupid and could not speak. Now that she has been in a coma for half a year, not only has she recovered, but she has also become sharper, and sometimes she looks at people with strange eyes.

Could it be that something dirty got on you?

Shen Jintang looked at the hand she stretched out like a dead tree root and took a step back, looked at her and said, "What do you want, grandma? Hit me?"

Shen Yunzhen also stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Jintang, saying to her: "If grandma is unhappy, just hit me. My sister is weak, so I can't hit her."

Shen Yunxuan also stared at her angrily, thinking that if she dared to hit her eldest brother and sister today, he would never recognize this grandmother again.

Mrs. Shen was a little embarrassed. She took back her hand and looked for Shen Song, but she didn't see him.

Just when I was surprised, I saw Shen Song coming out of the kitchen carrying two hares.
