Chapter 233: Salt is not good for eating, it is easy to choke to death

Shen Qing on the other end: Her mother tongue is speechless!

She confirmed in disbelief: "You said that Mrs. Cao wanted to ask her eldest grandson and the servants to come and help me build the house?"

"Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Why would she want to help you with the work for no reason?" Liu Cuihua was very puzzled. She thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure it out.

However, "I've seen Jun Zhu for several years and he's really good. He's not the same type as the other Cao family members. Do you think he took the initiative to come here to help?"

Shen Qing didn't care who would come to help. Not to mention the huge pile of work she had to do, Cao Junzhu was a scholar who couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. What could he do if he came?

"Let's go and take a look first!"

Liu Cuihua nodded hurriedly.

Mrs. Cao asked Jun Zhu to come over and tell her that Shen Qing's family was indeed short of workers. She thought it would be better to come over and ask, and let Shen Qing make the decision whether it would be successful or not.

However, she was afraid that Shen Qing would dry the herbs, so she asked someone to wait on the other side of the river.

Seeing Shen Qing coming over, Mrs. Cao raised her chin slightly and announced, "I am kind-hearted. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, I can't bear to see you get sick from the cold, so I thought of coming here to help build the house."

"Hey, you are so kind that you don't want to see Shen Qing catch a cold and get sick, but when the weather turns cold, we are also likely to catch a cold and get sick. Why don't you help us build a house?" Zheng Hui said quickly.

Granny Qin followed closely behind: "I'm old, and old people are most afraid of winter. Shouldn't you come to my house first?"

"Oh, I'm not young either, anyway I'm older than Shen Qing! How come I'm ranked ahead of her?" The Hong family immediately shouted.

Shen Qing tried to hold back her laughter as she watched Mrs. Cao's face turn red and blue, waiting to see what she would say.

Her eyes swept over the two men, one was a handsome and gentle scholar, and the other was... a restless servant with his eyes wandering around.

His rat eyes were almost fixed on the girl in their family, and he seemed to be looking for something from her from time to time.

Cao Da was undecided between Huo Bing and Jiang Yu. Jiang Shui, the oldest and the youngest, were easy to identify, but which one was Jiang Yu?

He looked at the woman who was taller than him. She had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and her sharp eyes shot towards him. He couldn't help shaking all over, and immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at the gentle and soft woman next to him.

Well, this is good. The old lady had reminded him before he came here that he could use some tricks if he found the opportunity, as long as he was not caught in person. Afterwards, he would have the old lady's support and decision-making power.

Shen Qing thought of the secret methods in the backyard, and understood a little bit. He stepped forward and stood in front.

This Cao woman was just annoying at first, but unexpectedly she is also so cruel and ruthless...

Mrs. Cao's face flushed from being questioned by so many women. She quickly found an excuse and said, "I saw that Shen Qing was busy and couldn't take care of the family, so I helped her out."

"It's okay. Although I have a lot of things to do, the village chief said that he will assign me a special group of people after the bricklayers arrive tonight. You should give priority to Granny Qin and the others." Shen Qing said with a smile.

Mrs. Cao's expression changed. After a while, she asked uncertainly, "The bricklayer will arrive tonight? You even hired a bricklayer!"

What kind of herb can make so much money?

Shen Qing replied as politely and sincerely as he could, "Yes, so my family is not short of people, especially since I'm building a brick house, which doesn't require much physical effort but requires more craftsmanship.

But it's okay, Granny Qin and her family all have adobe houses, so we just need to move the bricks. You two will definitely find them more useful if you go there!"

She didn't know and didn't care whether Cao Junzhu was a good person or not, but this servant had evil intentions. No matter what, neither of them could stay!

Granny Qin immediately took over the conversation: "I'd like to express my gratitude here first. I didn't expect Sister Cao to be so kind-hearted. My family is in need of someone to move adobe bricks. Your servant looks strong, so moving adobe bricks will definitely be no problem for you!"

Old and kind-hearted Mrs. Cao: .....

Li E also noticed it at this moment and said, "Grandma Qin, please hurry up. We have more houses and tens of thousands of adobe bricks. We are in need of people."

Mrs. Cao couldn't wait any longer and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you using my people as coolies?"

"Ah, aren't you just here to do hard labor?"

"We are all doing hard labor."

"How can you build a house without putting in the effort? You have to work really hard, right?"

.....

"Grandma, they are right. Since we are here to help, of course we have to put in the effort. Otherwise, wouldn't we be enjoying ourselves and causing trouble?" Cao Junzhu frowned and advised.

Grandma took the initiative to come and help, and he thought she was trying to get involved, so he was very happy about it. However, judging by her behavior just now, it didn't seem like she had good intentions...

What on earth is she planning?

Mrs. Cao looked at her eldest grandson, who was as elegant as a flower. Her grandson had good looks, knowledge and behavior. The only bad thing was that he was too upright and pedantic!

This is also why she didn't dare to reveal her plan at all, and she was confident that Jiang Shui would fall in love with Jun Zhu - which girl doesn't have love in her heart!

She thought carefully and made a decision: "Grandma is just worried about your hand holding the pen. How about this, let Cao Da stay and help, and you should go back to study and prepare for the imperial examination."

If Jun Zhu couldn't stay at Shen Qing's house to build a house and meet people, then there was no point in him staying.

Cao Da didn't care. He could secretly check the herbs while working as a helper in another family. Besides, he could always find a chance to meet and get along with the abandoned woman in the same village.

Cao Junzhu frowned even deeper. After looking around, he said in a gentle but resolute voice, "There's something at home that needs Cao Da. Let's go back together."

Mrs. Cao didn't expect that her eldest grandson insisted on taking Cao Da away. Did he notice something?

But I have come here with great difficulty today, how can I return empty-handed?

She took a deep breath, put on a kind smile and walked up to Jiang Yu, handed him a silver hairpin and said, "Is this Jiang Yu? He is such a pitiful person.

This hairpin is made of silver. Have you ever seen one before?

But it's okay, it belongs to you now, you also have a silver hairpin, the wooden hairpin on your head is too shabby and not worthy of you, throw it away."

Jiang Yu laughed angrily.

Her sister-in-law gave them all silver hairpins, silver bracelets, necklaces and rings, but she didn't wear them because she thought they were in the way while she was working. Why was she looked down upon by this old woman?

Besides, even if she didn't have it, would she necessarily covet a silver hairpin?

Mrs. Cao thought Jiang Yu was so happy that she didn't know what to do, so she quickly lowered her voice and added, "Don't worry, I have a lot of them at home. If you feel frustrated at your parents' home, you can come to me. I've eaten more salt than you have, and I will definitely show you a way out."

How can a woman who is divorced and sent home have an easy life?

With a sister-in-law above her and nephews and nieces-in-law below her, and no fame, money, or ability, her life in her mother's home must be difficult, and she has long wanted to escape.

"That's because you have a strong mouth."

Mrs. Cao heard it clearly, but didn't understand it. She asked blankly, "What?"

"My sister-in-law once said that people who eat more salt than others eat rice have a strong taste. Salt is not a good food and can easily cause choking."
