Chapter 272: Not getting enough of the bargain!

The aunt came uninvited, and as soon as she entered the room, she looked at the bags on the ground without any courtesy.

Su Ranran felt offended.

However, since she had just arrived, she didn't want to offend anyone, so she could only greet them politely.

"I just arrived in Nian County today. Auntie, please take a seat."

As she spoke, she moved a stool for her.

Jin Hongying didn't sit down, but just stretched her neck to look at the disaster in front of Su Ranran.

This pot of Su Ranran was taken out from the space. It was not very big. Anyway, she brought a lot of things with her, and no one knew what was in the bag.

What's more, in this day and age, when people move to distant places to settle down, most people will bring pots, pans, and utensils with them, so there is nothing strange about this.

Seeing that she didn't sit down, Su Ranran didn't care anymore and continued to wash the rice.

As I was washing, I heard my aunt say in shock, "You guys only eat this little rice?"

Hearing her voice which was obviously a few pitches higher, Su Ranran was speechless.

"This rice makes a lot of porridge, but this is enough for us to eat."

She used rice that she grew in the space herself, which was similar to the variety in the original space. Half a pound of rice could cook half a pot of porridge.

But Jin Hongying didn't believe it at all. However, she didn't say anything else. Instead, she looked through the bag that she had been eyeing so much.

As she turned the pages, she asked, "What did you bring? I heard that even a pickup truck couldn't fit it all."

Su Ranran just put the pot on the stove.

I saw that she had already opened the bag on the ground, and her face suddenly looked a little bad.

Without paying attention to the fire, she walked over and retrieved her bag.

"What are you looking for?"

Jin Hongying looked at her with a cold gaze and felt a little embarrassed.

"I just wanted to take a look out of curiosity, why are you so stingy?" Jin Hongying muttered in a low voice.

Su Ranran finally realized that she had encountered a weird person.

"Auntie, if you have nothing to do, please go back. I have a mess to clean up here and I don't have time to greet you."

Without wasting time talking to her, Su Ranran started to chase her away directly.

Hearing this, Jin Hongying's face suddenly darkened.

"How can you be so impolite? I came to see you with good intentions, but you chased me away?"

Su Ranran sneered.

"Who comes to visit someone and search their bags? Those who know you think you are curious, while those who don't think you are some bandits who have entered the village."

These words are quite harsh, and anyone with a sense of dignity would not be able to stay here any longer.

But Jin Hongying is a thick-skinned person.

Not only did he not leave, he also said with a look of reproach on his face: "Young people don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. I just heard that you gave fish and shrimp to each of those military wives, but why is there nothing for me?"

Su Ranran was delighted.

It's her business if she wants to give gifts, but that doesn't mean she likes to be morally kidnapped.

Even though I brought some local specialties, it doesn't mean I have to give them to everyone.

She's not a sucker.

There are so many people in a family compound, and she really gave away everything. Even if she has money and doesn't mind, others will doubt whether Shen He's source of income is legitimate.

"Just now, the military wives sent me food and firewood, and I just returned the gifts normally."

What she meant was, how could she, a person empty-handed, have the nerve to ask for anything?

But Jin Hongying is really nice.

"You brought so many things, why not share some with me?"

Just as she finished her words, Shen He walked in from the small door connected to the room.

I don’t know if it’s because the man’s presence is too strong, but the originally spacious kitchen suddenly seems a bit crowded for some reason.

He just stood there and before he could say anything, Jin Hongying began to think about backing out.

But before she could say anything, Xie Fangshu's voice came from outside the house again.

"Auntie Jin, didn't your daughter-in-law just take a lot of fish and shrimp back home? How dare you come to her house and ask for them?"

As Xie Fangshu was talking, she opened the curtain and came in.

I saw her walking in from outside with a bundle of green onions that was taller than her.

When Jin Hongying saw Xie Fangshu, her face froze.

"How would I know she took fish and shrimp?"

Jin Hongying, who was as weak as a dog-skin plaster just now, became like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw Xie Fangshu, and she started stammering when she spoke.

Xie Fangshu sneered, "Do you think I don't know who you are? Not only are you taking advantage of me, but you're also not afraid of bringing bad things to your son!"

When she mentioned her son, Jin Hongying's eyes showed a little more fear.

"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. You are so stingy. I don't even want it!"

After saying this awkwardly, she ran away dejectedly.

Behind him, Xie Fangshu said, "You are disrespectful to the elderly!"

Then he turned to Su Ranran and said, "Ranran, let me tell you, don't be soft-hearted and give her gifts just because she's older. If you give her something once, she'll stick to you next time and you won't be able to get rid of her!"

It turns out that Jin Hongying is He Sanni's mother-in-law.

He is the kind of person who loves to take advantage of others. He often "borrows" things from everywhere and never returns them after borrowing them.

At first, the military wives were embarrassed to lend her money, but later, when they realized what kind of person she was, they ignored her.

Xie Fangshu is not used to her bad habits. If anyone dares to take advantage of her, she will go straight to the leader!

Although Jin Hongying likes to take advantage of others, she is very kind to her son. She is afraid of affecting her son's future, so she usually doesn't dare to offend Xie Fangshu.

After Su Ranran learned about Jin Hongying's various bizarre deeds, she couldn't help but be amazed.

After Xie Fangshu told Su Ranran about Jin Hongying, she didn't plan to stay any longer.

She handed the green onion in her hand to him and continued, "I just thought of this when I got home, so I brought you a handful."

Su Ranran looked at the bundle of green onions in her hand and fell silent.

With so many big green onions, how long will it take to finish them?

"Thank you, Fangshu, but I don't need so many. I just need a few."

Xie Fangshu waved her hands.

"Take them all. I planted a lot this year. Besides, they're still growing in the winter. How can we not eat them?"

After saying that, she put down the onion and left.

Looking at Xie Fangshu who came and went in a hurry, how could Su Ranran not know that she just came to help her out?

After all, she didn't know whether Shen He was inside.

Thinking of this, Su Ranran was moved again.

In the end, she didn't say anything. She just put the green onions aside for the time being, intending to ask Shen He to put them all in the cellar later.

This is very different from the South.

In the south they can grow vegetables all year round, but here it snows in the winter and it is basically difficult to grow vegetables.

You can only stock up on vegetables in large quantities before winter.

Almost every household has a cellar for storing vegetables, and this is naturally indispensable in the courtyard.

Jin Hongying and Xie Fangshu both left, leaving only the couple in the kitchen.

"Is everything packed?"

Su Ranran tried to light a fire again, but was interrupted by Jin Hongying just now. She hadn't even had time to cook the porridge.

"It's ready. Let me do it. You take a rest. I'll call you when it's done."

Although Shen He also took the train for four days and three nights, he looked energetic, as if he was not tired at all.

In this regard, what else can Su Ranran say except admiration?
