Chapter 27: It’s Hard to Persuade the Damned Ghost
Shen Qingyue just arrived home and washed the basin.
The large intestines need to be turned over and cleaned little by little, about five times.
Shen Qingyue said: "Sister, let's remove the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pork liver and shredded potatoes."
Shen Mei asked, "What about the burrito?"
Shen Qingyue said, "Let's not make burritos anymore." It takes too much effort, and I don't make much money.
The most popular dishes right now are the minced meat eggplant, spicy tofu, and this deep-fried chicken skeleton. The rest need to be changed up!
Chen Mei said, "Then I'll deal with the chicken skeletons." We bought more today, and the chicken skeletons need to be marinated and fried twice, which is a lot of work.
Shen Qingyue said: "Sister, you do it first, I'll go find Aunt Yun."
Shen Mei said, "Go ahead."
Shen Qingyue went out to find Aunt Yun, who was chatting and gossiping with others.
Shen Qingyue had just bought jars and radishes from her. When she looked at Shen Qingyue, her attitude was very gentle. She quickly stood up and said, "Oh, Yueyue." She looked familiar.
She quickly pulled Shen Qingyue aside and asked, "What else do you want?" She had just planted the radish seedlings in the ground yesterday, and they would have to wait for a few days to grow.
Shen Qingyue said: "Aunt Yun, I want to cooperate with you on something."
Aunt Yun knew that it was Shen Qingyue's idea to split up the family business. No matter how she was doing now, she looked capable and organized, and no one treated her like a child.
Shen Qingyue said: "Can you help me buy some free-range eggs? I'll buy them for two cents each, and you can make a little profit from the difference!"
Aunt Yun asked, "How many can you use?"
Shen Qingyue said: "One hundred a day."
Aunt Yun said, "Okay." She was free anyway, and besides, with the open society these days, every family raised more than ten chickens, and those young wives who knew how to manage their lives could save up a basket of local eggs.
It doesn't cost anything to exchange for some eggs.
Shen Qingyue offered two cents for each one, and she could even bargain down the price, so she could earn more than fifty cents a day, which would be five yuan in ten days and more than ten yuan a month.
Anyway, when she has nothing to do, she likes to go around visiting people's houses.
This money is like picking it up for free.
Aunt Yun now likes Shen Qingyue more and more.
He praised Shen Qingyue from beginning to end: "Oh, I said a long time ago that you are the most promising among the younger generations of the Shen family. Now it seems that you are acting in accordance with my words."
Shen Qingyue said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll take care of it." She took out a two-dollar coin and said, "This is the deposit I'm giving you!"
Aunt Yun didn't expect that she had even thought of this.
The smile on her face became more sincere: "Hey, why are you so busy giving me this money? I'll accept it this time, but you don't have to be so polite next time. We all live in the same village, how can I not trust you?"
Aunt Yun saw that Shen Qingyue was already pretty, and now she looked at her appearance and demeanor, which was very attractive. It was a good thing that they separated.
Aunt Yun said, "There's something you might not know. Your grandma wants to marry Chen Zhaodi to Li Quezi from the east end of the village, and she's asking for a five hundred yuan betrothal gift."
"Ah?" Shen Qingyue was a little surprised. Shen Zhaodi was the eldest of the third room, one year younger than her. On weekdays.
She is the one who does all the work for the third room. After all, she is her biological daughter, so she should be willing to do that.
Shen Qingyue said: "I really don't know about this. Li Quezi seems to be thirty-five years old."
Shen Zhaodi is only nineteen years old. Calculated, the old man is almost as old as her father.
Aunt Yun loved gossiping, and she immediately raised an eyebrow and said, "That's right. Li Quezi was married once before, and I heard he beat his wife. His leg was broken by his brother from his first marriage. This matter has become a big deal. Who would go to him?"
Aunt Yun said, "I don't know what your grandma is thinking. She's not afraid of being laughed at by others by finding someone like this."
Shen Qingyue said: "She doesn't care about other people's lives, as long as she can get the money, it's real.
After saying this, Shen Qingyue was no longer interested in talking anymore. She simply said a few words and turned away.
She separated from her sisters, probably because she had conflicts with the third wife in the past, and was not close to the girls under the third wife. However, the girls shared a common destiny, not to mention some kinship. Even if it was a stranger, she couldn't bear to see the other person jump into such a fire pit!
It was also a coincidence that on the way back, Shen Qingyue happened to see Shen Zhaodi and Shen Yindi washing a pile of clothes by the stream.
Perhaps because the news of her engagement had spread, she deliberately chose a section of the river with fewer people, and unexpectedly ran into Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue said: "Zhao Di, Yin Di."
It was the first time they met since their separation. A hint of uneasiness flashed across Shen Zhaodi's face, and she whispered, "Second sister."
Shen Qingyue said: "I heard that you are going to kiss. What do you think?"
Shen Qingyue's words immediately alerted the two sisters. They asked, "How do you know? Who told you that?"
Shen Qingyue felt something was wrong when she saw this situation, but she didn't think too much about it. She said, "My grandma just wanted a high bride price and married you off casually. You should think carefully about it. Women are not like others. Once you make the wrong choice, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."
Shen Zhaodi immediately put down the basin in her hand and said, "Second sister, my parents and elders will help to decide my marriage, so I won't bother you to worry about it."
Shen Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then said, "Do you think your parents and grandparents will find you a good family? That Li Quezi's first wife was driven away by him. Why would you, a pure and innocent girl, be with such a person?"
Shen Zhaodi shuddered, and Shen Yindi said, "Second sister, you are here to laugh at me." She looked completely brainwashed, "My parents won't harm my sister."
Shen Qingyue looked at the two sisters who were unmoved and said, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. Never mind. Anyway, I have told you what kind of person he is. If you don't listen, there is nothing I can do."
Shen Qingyue stood up and left.
Shen Zhaodi and Shen Yindi watched Shen Qingyue leave. They were panicked and went back to their parents without even finishing washing the clothes.
As soon as she got back, Liu Yu said, "Why are there so many clothes that haven't been washed yet? Don't think that just because you're getting married, you won't have to work for your parents. Let me tell you, you're always my daughter."
Ever since the Shen family's eldest wife was separated, Shen Zhaodi's life has become increasingly difficult.
When Shen Zhaodi heard that her family was arranging a marriage for her, she even felt a little bit of anticipation. The young girl was in love and always hoped that there would be a hero-like person who could take her away from here.
So when her grandmother asked her, she didn't refuse.
But at this moment, seeing her mother and her grandmother there, she couldn't say the words she wanted to ask.
It was the fourth child, Shen Yindi, who spoke from the side: "Grandma, Mom, just now when my sister and I went out to wash clothes, we met Sister Qingyue. She said that the person you told my sister about was a man who beat his wife." She told her everything that had just happened like pouring beans.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
