Chapter 15: Make the Best of It

When Shen Yueyao heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched.

In fact, she didn't mind Su Xueyi divorcing her at all.

As long as the eldest and second child follow her, it's fine.

But she also knew that in this era, Su Xueyi would not give her the two treasures.

And she also wanted to make up for the problems she had caused before.

We must improve the Su family's living conditions and cure the sick and weak in the family.

Otherwise, I would feel uncomfortable leaving like this.

What's more, Dabao and Erbao are her biological sons, and she can't bear to abandon them.

Since that’s the case, let’s just make the best of it.

Mrs. Meng said a lot.

Seeing Su Xueyi silent, he could only whisper, "Do you think your mother is nagging you about these things?"

Su Xueyi sighed softly and said, "Mom, you think too much. Don't worry about it."

Seeing that Madam Meng was still worried, Su Xueyi could only add, "Mother, I don't want to divorce you."

Upon hearing this, Madam Meng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you can figure it out."

Shen Yueyao stood at the door for a while before walking into the yard.

It is also to avoid embarrassment.

"Mom, I've prepared lunch. My husband and Erya are back just in time. Wash your hands and let's go inside and eat together."

At this time, Su Erya was cooking medicine in a clay pot in the yard.

It seems that the medicine has been taken back.

Madam Meng handed the purse in her hand to Shen Yueyao and said, "Yueyao, I bought three prescriptions and spent 180 coins. There is still some left. It's all here."

Shen Yueyao said, "Mother, take it and use it."

Madam Meng said quickly, "No, you can't do that. Yueyao, take it quickly. If you don't take it, I won't be able to sleep or eat well."

Shen Yueyao could only put the purse away and said, "Mom, if there is anything at home that requires money, remember to tell me."

"good."

Su Xueyi looked at the long-lost smile on her mother's face, then looked at Shen Yueyao, and a hint of softness appeared in her cold eyes.

Shen Yueyao brought the basket into the house, took out the food and placed it on the table.

However, Shen Yueyao discovered that the bowls, plates and tableware available in Madam Meng's house were not enough.

Fortunately, she took this situation into consideration and brought four pairs of bowls and chopsticks from home.

Shen Yueyao looked at Dabao and Erbao who were guarding Su Daya obediently by the bed, and was very pleased, "Dabao and Erbao, it's time for lunch, go wash your hands first."

Dabao and Erbao listened to Shen Yueyao's gentle voice, and they didn't tremble with fear like before.

This woman spoke to them like this for the past two days. She didn't hit them and even made delicious food for them, so Dabao and Erbao just looked at her and then went to wash their hands obediently.

In the morning, the food the woman cooked was delicious, and they were looking forward to lunch.

However, Su Erya was boiling medicine, so Shen Yueyao said, "Erya, eat first. Only after eating can you have the strength to take care of your sister and boil medicine."

Su Erya had never seen her Third Aunt care about her so much, let alone cooking for her.

Su Erya whispered, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

Shen Yueyao also smiled, thinking that even though Su Erya was in a destitute environment, she still had the good upbringing of the Su family.

When the family sat at the dining table to eat, Shen Yueyao was next to Madam Meng. She carefully put the chopsticks into the old lady's hand and placed a large bowl of fried pancakes and egg and wild vegetable soup in front of her.

The fried pancakes may be a little oily, but drinking a bowl of soup will make your stomach feel more comfortable.

Su Erya was stunned when she saw the cake in the bowl.

Their family hasn't eaten this kind of noodles for a long time.

Most of the food they eat is rice soup and porridge soup.

I only make noodles during the Chinese New Year.

Su Erya stared blankly at the contents of the bowl, feeling it was as unreal as a dream.

But just smelling the fragrance made her swallow her saliva.

When at home, Shen Yueyao would take Dabao and Erbao to eat first.

But when her elders were around, Shen Yueyao still continued her living habits from her previous life. She would only start eating after her elders started.

Madam Meng didn’t know this, but Su Xueyi noticed Shen Yueyao’s eyes and expression.

She held her chopsticks and looked at Mrs. Meng, waiting for her to eat.

Su Xueyi whispered, "Mom, let's eat."

"well."

Only then did Mrs. Meng lower her head and pick up her food with chopsticks.

Madam Meng was stunned by the meal. "It smells so good, is it the smell of fried pancakes?"

Old Madam Meng had lived a life of luxury since she was a child, and had been a concubine for a long time. She had tasted all kinds of delicacies, but she felt that the fried pancakes in her mouth tasted particularly different.

Shen Yueyao smiled sweetly and said, "Well, this is fried pancakes. I made thousand-layer pancakes last night and made some extra. Today I cut them into slices and added some vegetables to stir-fry in the pan. This is the taste. It's easy to make."

Although it sounds simple, there are actually some tricks involved in controlling the heat, adjusting the flavor, and frying it until it is fragrant.

Madam Meng took a few bites, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. Her eyes were red. "It's delicious. Yueyao, this is really delicious."

As she spoke, Mrs. Meng's voice was choked with sobs.

The hand holding the chopsticks was also trembling slightly.

Shen Yueyao felt a little uncomfortable watching this.

Shen Yueyao said softly: "Mom, I can cook a lot of delicious food. I will send it over in the evening."

Anyway, we bought so much pig offal, and cooked some and sent some over so that Mrs. Meng and Daya and Erya can eat more.

The pig offal is braised and very oily, and can also provide you with some nutrition.

Madam Meng hurriedly said, "No, no, Yueyao, just keep it for you. We have food here."

Old Madam Meng knew the current situation and conditions of the Su family. She was afraid of dragging down her third son and daughter-in-law, fearing that she would cause trouble for them.

Shen Yueyao said gently: “Mom, there are a lot, I can’t eat it all.”

"I made roujiamo this morning and set up a stall in town. Business was pretty good. I sold all forty-nine roujiamo at five cents each, making a profit of two hundred and forty-five cents."

Shen Yueyao knew that the Su family's life was too difficult, and she told this to Old Madam Meng in order to give her more hope.

Only when people have hope in their hearts can they feel motivated.

Seeing Madam Meng like this, Shen Yueyao was afraid that she would lose her spirit and could not bear it.

"Mom, you have to eat the food I brought you. You have to take care of your health. I plan to set up a stall in town to do some business in the future. When the time comes, I may need your help with things at home and with Dabao and Erbao."

Madam Meng and Su Erya were in shock beside them.

No one would have thought that Shen Yueyao would make so much money by setting up a stall in the morning.

More than two hundred coins, they were a little afraid to even think about it.

More than two hundred coins a day, that’s six taels of silver a month.

Madam Meng suddenly became excited.

If that's the case, her third son's family will live better and better, and she won't have to worry about anything.

After hearing what Shen Yueyao said, Madam Meng hurriedly said, "Yueyao, don't worry. Although mother can't see clearly, she can still work and help take care of Dabao and Erbao."

Dabao and Erbao are so sensible and well-behaved that Mrs. Meng is very fond of them.

But her daughter-in-law used to dislike her for not being able to see well and didn't allow her to visit her eldest and second child, so she had no choice but to give up the idea.

When I miss my grandson, I see him secretly and give him delicious food secretly.

Now that Shen Yueyao said this, Madam Meng was naturally happy.

She smiled even more.
