Chapter 73: A Sister-Con
"Fourth brother?"
Shen Shaojing quickly ran over from the other side of the street, hugged Shen Yueyao and said, "Sister, it's really you. I didn't dare to recognize you. Why are you so thin now?"
"Is it because your brother-in-law bullied you and made you eat poorly? Why have you lost so much weight?"
Shen Shaojing felt so sorry for his sister.
The corners of Shen Yueyao's mouth twitched.
It has been more than a month since she put it back on. She is busy every day and controls her diet, so naturally she has lost weight.
She was so busy that she didn't notice how much weight she had lost.
But everyone who saw her said she had lost a lot of weight.
The clothes I wore before are now much bigger, and it seems like I have lost 20 or 30 pounds in an instant.
However, Shen Yueyao's goal is to lose weight and become slim.
Now she still feels fat.
But that's not the case in my brother's eyes.
Shen Shaojing always felt that his sister did not have enough to eat at the Su family.
Otherwise, how could he become so thin?
Shen Yueyao looked at her fourth brother, and even though she hadn't seen him for a few years, she still felt close to him.
"Fourth brother, I've become this thin on purpose. I was too fat before, and it was very tiring to move around. Now I feel refreshed and light."
"And I'm fine. I eat well and rest well every day. The Su family treats me very well. Don't worry."
After listening to these words, Shen Shaojing asked seriously: "Really?"
"How can my sister lie to you?"
Shen Shaojing looked at his sister carefully and saw that she was indeed in good spirits, so he felt a little relieved.
Shen Shaojing then said: "I didn't know you were going home before. If I had known earlier, I would have gone home. Now I can finally see my sister."
Shen Shaojing was very happy when he looked at his sister, with a smile between his eyebrows.
At first glance, he looks like a sister-con.
Shen Yueyao said: "It's okay if you haven't seen me, you can come to Liuhe Village to find me."
Shen Shaojing touched the back of his head and said, "My parents said that they can't come to disturb you and affect your life, so I endured it and didn't go."
Shen Shaojing is one year older than Shen Yueyao. At this moment, he looks like a big boy and his smile is very hearty.
However, Shen Yueyao didn't know that this was only the case in front of her. In front of his brothers, Shen Shaojing was not like this.
Shen Yueyao said: "Don't listen to what your parents say. You are my brother. If you want to come to me, just come to me."
Shen Shaojing nodded vigorously.
Shen Yueyao looked at the shoulder pole on him and asked, "By the way, why are you here? Why are you carrying a shoulder pole?"
Shen Shaojing said: "I am not a peddler, selling small things in the streets and alleys to make some spare money, so I thought of coming to Beiliu Town to take a look, maybe I can see my sister."
Shen Yueyao knew that in this era, some peddlers would go from street to street selling things.
But it is not that easy. Sometimes they work hard with a shoulder pole for a whole morning but still cannot sell many things.
Moreover, if they cannot sell the goods in this way, they will have to bear the cost of these things themselves.
Therefore, there are not many peddlers walking around the streets.
Fortunately, the fourth brother looks tall and seems to be able to endure hardships.
"You're not working hard, so why do people in the village say you're hanging out with hooligans and aren't doing your job properly?"
She knew that her fourth brother had never been that kind of person since he was a child.
In the past, he would try to sell some things in town and buy her flowers, hairbands, toys, etc., just to make her happy.
Shen Shaojing's face turned cold, and he looked a little fierce with a cold look in his eyes.
But towards his sister, he always smiled warmly and gently. "It's that second sister-in-law. You know she's a bit of a snob. In order to force my parents to agree to the division of the family property and to give up my belongings, she actually said that to me. Now that the villagers have heard about it, they've changed their attitude in a few words."
"Humph, I'm too lazy to explain. I just thought, let them say whatever they want. Anyway, my parents believe me."
"Besides, I really don't do anything right now, and I don't help with the farming at home. I just think that when I make a career and earn money, I can let my parents enjoy life together. Then I don't need to say anything, and the villagers won't gossip about it."
After listening to Fourth Brother's words, Shen Yueyao actually looked at him a few more times.
I feel that Fourth Brother is a very clear-headed person.
Yes, when you have no ability, no matter what you explain, it is useless. Now that you have the ability and can make money, you don’t need to say anything, and the villagers will look up to you.
"Fourth brother, I believe you can accomplish something."
"Sister is still the best. Sister, when Fourth Brother has money, he will give it to you and your parents. Then you can buy the jewelry you like."
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but laugh, "Fourth brother, I'm not a child anymore. I can make money. If you make money, you can save it, or ask our parents to help save it."
The brother and sister talked and talked about their family.
"By the way, how are my parents and my third brother and his wife?"
When Shen Shaojing talked about this, his eyes were shining, and he seemed a little excited and said: "Sister, you don't know that the noodle shop of the third brother and the third sister-in-law is now open. The third sister-in-law made several kinds of noodles in various colors at the beginning. At the beginning, some old customers came for the discount, but after trying the different flavors of noodles, they said they were good. There is also hot and sour noodles, which many people like..."
"At first we only made noodles, but later on, more customers wanted hot and sour noodles, so we put up a small sign next to the shop, saying it was a noodle and hot and sour noodle shop..."
"My parents, my third brother, and his wife all kept saying how much it was thanks to you, my sister. It's only been half a month, and the money you've earned has already made up for the rent of the first two months..."
"The store is just too small. Sometimes when there are a lot of people, you have to queue up. Some customers don't want to wait in line anymore. Now that it's cold, we can't set up a stall outside..."
"So, my third brother and his wife thought they'd work hard for another month to see how business goes. They want to rent a bigger place, but they want a better storefront. It might cost two taels of silver a month, and they have to pay the rent every two weeks. Now, my third brother and his wife are just trying to save some money..."
Shen Yueyao sighed as she listened, knowing that doing business was not easy, especially renting a shop. Sometimes one could only pay the rent after working hard for a month.
Fortunately, their store is doing well now, so they will make more money in the future.
Anyway, no one knows how to make hot and sour noodles yet, and no one has chili peppers, so no one can imitate it.
If you want to eat hot and sour noodles, you have to go to the restaurant of my third brother and his wife.
"Second sister-in-law used to be sour about Third sister-in-law's shop all the time, and she looked down on her and said she was messing around. Now she heard the shop is open again, and she wants to see the joke. Humph, she doesn't know how delicious the hot and sour noodles are, so she dares to say that."
Shen Shaojing couldn't stand the way his second sister-in-law was.
He just didn't understand why his second brother liked his second sister-in-law like that.
Only in front of his sister would Shen Shaojing speak out his true feelings.
Shen Yueyao said: "Don't be angry, just watch Second Sister-in-law slap herself in the face when the time comes."
"By the way, what's the situation with my brother and sister-in-law?"
