Chapter 66 Various Noodles
The woman, Cui, excitedly held Shen Yueyao's hand and said a lot of things.
The mother and daughter seemed to have not seen each other for years and wished they could say more.
Xuanxuan stood obediently by the side. Even though he was a little tired, he just rubbed his calves, found a stool to sit down, and didn't cry or make a fuss.
Seeing Xuanxuan like this, Shen Yueyao liked him very much and couldn't help but smile.
"Not long after you married Xueyi, your third brother married your third sister-in-law and had Xuanxuan. This child has been easy to take care of since he was young, never crying or making a fuss."
"Your third sister-in-law is a very good person, gentle, virtuous, capable, and filial to her parents."
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Well, that's good. As long as my parents are satisfied, what about my third brother?"
Shen Yueyao remembered that the third brother was a cold and taciturn person.
I don’t know how I get along with my third sister-in-law.
Cui understood what her daughter meant and whispered quietly, "Your third brother chose her himself. They are very good together and never quarrel."
Shen Yueyao was relieved.
After a while, Shen Yueyao asked, "By the way, where are Dad, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, and Fourth Brother?"
"Your father and your third brother went to work in the fields. I don't know where your fourth brother went. He only comes back at night."
Cui didn't mention her elder and second brothers, and thinking of what the villagers said, Shen Yueyao didn't ask any more questions.
Knowing that her third sister-in-law was sick and unconscious in the house, Shen Yueyao wanted to go in and take a look.
After entering the room, Shen Yueyao saw the woman lying on the bed. She had fair skin and gentle eyes and eyebrows. She looked like a person with a good personality.
Shen Yueyao checked her pulse and said, "Mother, it's nothing. It's just a sudden attack of anger and a bit of brain gas. Just boil some water with some folk remedies and drink it and it will be fine."
This is not a big problem. Just find a few things to boil some water and drink it.
Add some spiritual spring water and it will be fine.
Cui sighed and said, "Your third sister-in-law has had a hard time. She sacrificed a lot when she was a girl in her parents' home. Now that she's here, she helps me with everything inside and outside the house, and she has to take care of the store..."
Having said that, Cui stopped talking, fearing that her daughter would worry.
Shen Yueyao didn't ask any more questions, thinking about making her third aunt get better first.
Cui would quickly go and look for whatever Shen Yueyao mentioned. If she didn't have it, she would borrow it from the villagers and then buy it back.
After getting it back, boil it with spiritual spring water.
After it was cooked, Shen Yueyao took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupoints.
Ye slowly woke up.
She was a little dazed, and Cui gave her some medicine to drink. "Drink it quickly, and you'll be fine after drinking it."
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with my body. Don't spend money on medicine."
Ye's brows were filled with worry. When she thought about her family spending money on her, she felt guilty and under great pressure.
Cui said, "Don't worry, these are free. Drink them quickly. It will be good if you drink them. If you don't drink them, it will be a waste."
When Shen Yueyao demonstrated her medical skills, she didn't say anything, and Cui Shi didn't doubt it.
In fact, Shen Yueyao was very smart when she was a child. When she was a child, she took her family to the mountains to pick mushrooms and said that they were edible and not poisonous. Her family believed and trusted her.
Therefore, Shen Yueyao does not have to hide her work at her mother's house.
When Shen Yueyao's temperament changed drastically, Cui still remembered that a barefoot master came to her home, and she still remembers clearly what the master said.
After drinking it, Ye lay down again and fell asleep again in a daze.
Shen Yueyao said: "Mother, Third Sister-in-law will be fine after she has a good sleep and sweats."
"Yeah, okay."
"How's it going at home? Are you hungry? Mom will make you something delicious."
Cui was willing to give anything to her daughter.
Shen Yueyao told Cui about the situation at the Su family, and said it happily so as not to let her mother worry.
"Mom, I also brought some pork, a whole chicken, and tofu. Qiu He gave me some tofu, and some chili meat sauce that I made myself, as well as these snacks and candies..."
Cui felt distressed when she saw this and said, "You said we were already very happy that you were back. Why did you bring so many things? It would cost a lot of money. You can keep them to buy something for yourself."
"Mom, I have it. I told you, I can make three taels of silver on a good day running a stall."
Cui was amazed. Now that her daughter was well and capable, she didn't have to worry too much. But she knew that doing business was hard and not easy. Moreover, the business situation was different every day and every season.
"Don't work too hard, and don't get too tired. If you need anything, come home and tell us. Mom and Dad are still young and can help. Besides, you still have your third and fourth brothers. They are your brothers and they won't ignore you."
Shen Yueyao nodded.
She said she would make lunch.
Shen Yueyao planned to make four dishes for lunch: braised pork, mapo tofu, cabbage with old vinegar, and fried chicken.
Cui assisted Shen Yueyao.
The mother and daughter talked like this, and as they talked, Shen Yueyao got to know the situation at home.
No wonder my third sister-in-law fell ill. The noodle shop she had worked so hard to run was closed down because there were not many people there.
Also, when my mother mentioned my elder and second brothers, her face looked unhappy.
She didn't ask any more questions, thinking that she would know the details later.
Her mother is soft-hearted and would not act like this just because her elder and second brothers split up the family business. There must be some problems involved.
While the meal was being cooked, the aroma soon filled the house.
At this time, Ye also slowly woke up. When she learned that Shen Yueyao had returned, she was very excited and hurried to get out of bed.
Shen Yueyao talked to her third sister-in-law for a while and she liked this soft-spoken sister-in-law very much.
After listening to her mother, Shen Yueyao learned that her third sister-in-law's father was actually a scholar. Unfortunately, her parents passed away early, and she had a younger brother. For her brother, she had to go out and sell noodles at a stall. She had been arranged to marry before, but before it was finalized, rumors spread that she was unlucky for her parents.
Later, that family broke off the engagement, which made the Ye family's reputation even worse.
Even though she was capable and her family owned a small noodle shop, she was still affected, and her younger brother was still young at that time.
Others were worried that if they married Ye, they would have to take care of her younger brother and find a wife for him.
Besides, the Ye family’s things must be left to her brother, and she can’t take them away.
The third brother was passing by on a long trip one day and happened to eat noodles made by Ye. After the two of them chatted for a few words, the third brother thought she was a very nice person. Her parents were not old-fashioned people and thought that as long as the person was good, it would be fine. So they came to propose marriage, and Ye became his third sister-in-law.
In fact, it was because my parents suffered at the hands of my eldest and second sister-in-law that they felt that they couldn’t be so particular and that good moral character was a must.
They had met Ye and thought he was very good, so they nodded in agreement.
Since coming to the Shen family, Ye has been filial to her parents, diligent and efficient at work, kind to her third brother and children, very patient, and has never had a quarrel with her third brother.
Of course, although the third brother looks cold, he actually pities Ye. The two of them understand each other and live a good life.
Ye looked at Shen Yueyao and said happily: "Shaochen often talks about my sister and misses her. Shaochen told me a lot about my sister's childhood and said that she was very smart. I only heard about her before, but now I know that she looks very good."
The corners of Shen Yueyao's mouth twitched. Because of her previous life, she had a bad reputation.
"Third sister-in-law, don't listen to what my third brother says. I did a lot of bad things in the past and my reputation is not good."
Ye said softly, "Rumors are not to be believed. I am with your third brother, and he doesn't believe in those reputations."
When Ye talked about Shen Shaochen, there was light in her eyes and brows, which showed that she liked him very much.
After talking for a while, Shen Yueyao looked at the worry in Ye's eyes and said comfortingly: "Third sister-in-law, don't worry about the noodle shop. Everything will be fine."
She knew that noodles in this era were simple, mostly plain noodles, and people would find it strange to see a ramen restaurant suddenly appear. In fact, there are various kinds of noodles, such as knife-cut noodles, hot-dry noodles, mixed noodles, sauerkraut noodles, etc., all of which can be prepared.
Ye blamed herself and said with a guilty conscience, "I thought that since the noodle shop is empty, I would close it and help my parents at home..."
Ye was just worried about the money invested in the noodle shop, and it was also because of her opening of the noodle shop that her eldest brother and his wife and her second brother and his wife insisted on dividing the family business.
She felt a little guilty. Although she said that she opened the noodle shop with the money from selling her jewelry, her elder and second sisters-in-law did not believe it and thought that the money was given by her mother.
However, she felt it was inappropriate to say these words, so she simply didn't say them.
