"You haven't eaten yet, I'll get it for you right away. It's freshly made and hot."
After saying this, before Shen Man could refuse, Aunt Wang put down the clothes in her hands, wiped the water stains on her hands on her body, and turned around to go into the house.
Shen Man was a little surprised. She had already eaten when she had just caught up with him and said that he had used it.
Unexpectedly, at this time Gu Xiaobei ran over and hugged her thighs tightly.
"Aunt, this auntie cooks deliciously. She even gave me meat. Don't eat it. Wait until dad comes back and I'll ask him to cook it for you again."
Shen Man lowered her head and touched his little head, thinking that the child was just picky about food, "Xiao Bei, you can eat meat only, you should also eat vegetables, so that your body can be healthy."
In those days, you needed a meat ticket to buy a piece of meat. However, every household had a fixed amount of meat tickets every month, and only an ordinary family could have meat to eat every day.
Gu Xiaobei shook his head and pouted, "Yes, I didn't get to eat any meat today, and the cabbage she fried was terrible, it had no taste at all."
Usually, the dishes cooked by my father are very delicious, and the rice cooked by my mother is also delicious.
But the dishes cooked by this auntie are just like plain water, without any taste at all.
Shen Man thought about it and realized that this person was introduced by her mother and selected by Gu Qinglin himself, so there shouldn't be any problems with him.
But since the child said so, let's take a look first.
At this time, Auntie Wang came running over with a bowl of food and handed it to her, "Eat it while it's hot. You young people work hard, so you should eat something good to replenish yourself."
"I added a little more oil today. Look how fragrant and shiny the vegetables are. They are definitely good for your health."
Shen Man lowered her head to glance at the contents of the bowl. Apart from a few small green vegetable leaves, there was only half a bowl of porridge and a few grains of rice. Even if she said it was water, people would believe it.
As for the oil, there was indeed some oil on the surface of the porridge.
She brought the bowl to Gu Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, is this what you're eating today?"
Gu Xiaobei nodded repeatedly, "This is it. I have been eating this since this morning. And my aunt said that I am a child and can only eat a little."
"Aunt, I'm so hungry now. I'm almost starving to death."
Aunt Wang's face suddenly became more serious. "Hey, Xiaobei, what are you talking about? You know, there are many children in the countryside who can even drink porridge."
"They can only eat cornmeal porridge with pumpkin every day, and the children don't need to work, why do they eat so much?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. You're still young, so don't say anything nonsense."
Saying this in front of an outsider means that she is abusing him.
Gu Xiaobei became anxious instantly. He hugged Shen Man's thigh tightly and rubbed it.
"Aunt, you have to believe Xiaobei. Not only does she cook delicious meals, but she also feeds me enough to eat. When dad was around, I could eat enough every day, and I also had meat and rice."
Shen Man raised her eyes and looked at Auntie Wang, "Auntie, what's your name?"
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then touched her nose somewhat naturally, "My...my last name is Wang, you can just call me Aunt Wang."
"Wang? Wang Hongjuan?"
Shen Man thought back to the people her mother introduced to her, and this was the only one with the surname Wang.
Auntie Wang smiled and said, "Yes, my name is... my name is Wang Shujuan. Wang Hongjuan is my sister. She came here because her leg was injured, so she asked me to come."
She said this, but she was worried in her heart.
How does this person know so much? Could he be having an affair with Gu Qinglin?
Shen Man's face changed slightly, and her tone became completely cold. "So, you took her place, used her name, and came here to take care of the child?"
She would naturally trust someone introduced by her mother herself.
But there was obviously something wrong with this person, it turned out that he had been replaced.
Aunt Wang didn't take it seriously and curled her lips. "It's nothing. It's all about taking care of children. I raised seven children in the countryside with my own hands. I have less experience than my sister."
"As for cooking, children in rural areas even eat fine grains like rice."
"Xiaobei is very happy just to be able to eat white porridge."
"Save any extra money and notes for emergencies."
As she spoke, she looked up at Shen Man. When she saw her delicate and beautiful face, a hint of criticism flashed in Aunt Wang's eyes.
"It's fine if the child is sensible, but I don't want you to be sensible. When you get married, you will be beaten and scolded to death by your in-laws."
Especially for a woman who looks like this, which mother-in-law would like her?
Gu Xiaobei glared at her fiercely, "You are not allowed to scold my aunt. My aunt will be beaten. Her man loves her very much. You will be beaten and scolded."
Auntie Wang's expression became even uglier, she pointed at Gu Xiaobei and said to Shen Man.
"Listen to what this child is saying. He is really uneducated. I don't know how his parents taught him."
"I think you ate too much. From now on, you should eat one meal a day. You will be quiet after a few meals."
"You are the one who has no parents to teach you. You are allowed to scold my mother, but get out of here. Get out of here. I will take care of you. When my father comes back, I will let him teach you a lesson."
Gu Xiaobei's eyes were red, but he still glared at Aunt Wang fiercely, while his hands held Shen Man tightly.
The peace in my heart came again, and my whole body trembled slightly.
He is the child that no one loves. His parents love him the most and they will love him.
Shen Man noticed the child's abnormality and quickly held him tightly in her arms, her eyes slightly gloomy.
"Auntie, pack up and go back. You're needed here."
"I also intend to settle accounts with you for impersonating someone else, but please leave immediately. The child needs someone like you to take care of him."
Aunt Wang's face turned green instantly and she pointed at Shen Man's nose and cursed.
"What do you mean? Just say yes, the parents haven't said anything yet, so what right do you, an outsider, have to make comments?"
"You are the one who brought me here. In this family, you are the outsider. Do you understand?"
"Don't think that this brat can chase me away with just a few words. I tell you, his father has handed him over to me. In the next ten days, this child will be under my care."
"Return this kid back to me soon, or I'll sue you for kidnapping."
After saying this, she rushed up and tried to snatch the child away.
Shen Man's eyes darkened, and she quickly dodged while holding the child. Then she put the child down, picked up a broom beside her, and hit Aunt Wang hard.
"I told you today that you had to leave. If you leave, I will beat you up."
"As for suing me, go ahead and sue me. Let's see who will suffer first, you who impostor and came to the city with someone else's letter of introduction, or me?"
"Ahhh, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay?"
"Why are you so cruel? I'm old. If I get hurt, I'll... I'll come to you with a knife to settle the score."
