Chapter 50 Fish Frying Incident (2)
"Husband, the children all want to eat, look..."
At the Shen family's side, Wang Wan'er hugged her child with tears in her eyes and seemed to be hesitant to speak. She couldn't understand. It was okay in the past, but why now did they still choose Shen Xiangyue instead of the seemingly more useful Shen Xiangwan.
"Let's have grilled fish."
Looking up at Shen Xiangwan and the others, Shen Xiangdong picked up the grilled fish and handed it to the two children with an unchanging expression. It was absolutely impossible for him to ask Shen Xiangwan for things, even for the children!
"No, I want to eat the fish cooked by my aunt."
"Me too."
The brother and sister both turned away and refused his grilled fish. They were five and four years old respectively. Although they also disliked their little aunt from the country, the fish she fried was so delicious!
"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry."
Shen Xiangdong's face darkened and he put down the grilled fish with a snap.
“Wow…”
The two children's mouths pursed and they burst into tears. Jiang quickly hugged her eldest grandson, Shen Mingshu, and said with concern: "Okay, okay, our Mingshu is the best. Stop crying and let your second uncle go and ask them for it."
"Why me again? I'm not going!"
Hearing that he was named, Shen Xiangnan immediately got angry. Until now, the place where he was kicked by Shen Xiangwan still hurt slightly. Moreover, he really hated Shen Xiangwan, so much so that he didn't even want to say more to her.
"That's right, mother. My husband's injury has just healed."
Shen Xiangnan's wife Xie Yunyun hurriedly chimed in, saying, "Why should her husband go and ask for the fish from someone else's house when the eldest brother's child is greedy for it?" If Shen Xiangwan was easy to bully, it would be fine, but she was clearly a tigress. Wasn't she deliberately letting her husband get abused? She was not so partial.
If Jiang knew what she was thinking, she would probably be furious. Except for Shen Xiangwan, she doted on all her children and never really showed favoritism to anyone. The reason why she specifically asked her second son to go was because he was younger and easier to talk to.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
As if she didn't notice that she had made the children cry out of greed, Shen Xiangwan turned her head and smiled at the little cubs who were eating from the bowl with gusto.
"Yeah, great, great, auntie is great!"
The little cub nodded and replied indistinctly with fish in his mouth, and did not forget to free up one hand to give her a thumbs up.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
"Hmmmm."
The little cub nodded rapidly, and Shen Xiangwan retracted her gaze and got busy again. There were a lot of fish pieces from the two fish, and their pot was too small, so it took four pots to fry them all. Shen Xiangwan only left one-third in the pot for seasoning, making a fragrant dry pot fish. She divided the remaining two-thirds into two portions, one for Wei Chenghe to give to Zhao Shan so that they could also taste it, and the other was wrapped in oil paper and saved for next time.
Then she cooked a pot of fish head soup, and the staple food was the white flour buns steamed at the post station in the morning.
"Chengyi, this is so delicious. The kids are crying for it. Can you give us a few pieces?"
Unable to bear the children's crying, a woman from the branch family came over with a boy about five or six years old. Her face was flushed and she looked restrained, obviously very embarrassed.
Wei Chengyi did not express his opinion directly, but turned his head to look at Shen Xiangwan. She made the things, so it should be her decision whether to give it or not.
“Hey.”
Shen Xiangwan was not the kind of person who only cared about himself and would only use violence to speak. Seeing the child's red eyes staring at the dry pot fish pieces and swallowing his saliva, the woman was relatively polite, so she wrapped a few pieces of fish in clean banana leaves and handed them to them.
"Thank you, thank you, Yun Yi, thank Second Aunt quickly."
After taking the fish, the woman pulled the child to thank them excitedly. When Wei Chengyi looked at Shen Xiangwan, she thought there was no hope. After all, she had always given people an extremely fierce impression, but she didn't expect... If she thought about it carefully, they didn't provoke her, and she didn't seem to have done anything excessive.
"Thank you, Second Aunt."
Wei Yunyi, who was only five years old, had tears in his eyes but a smile on his face.
"You're welcome. Go back and eat."
Shen Xiangwan nodded with a smile and continued to stare at the fish soup in the pot, but...
“Chen Xiangwan, give us a few pieces too, the kids are making a fuss.”
"That's right, we want some too. Everyone else is eating grilled fish, but you're frying fish. Aren't you deliberately making the children jealous and making them cry?"
"Give us a few more pieces so we can try them too."
"Hurry up..."
It seemed that they had forgotten her ferocity and were willing to give it to her. Almost every room, including the old lady and the second and third rooms, sent representatives to ask for it. Compared with the politeness of the previous woman, they were extremely demanding. Some even complained that she shouldn't have made it so fragrant. Wei Chengyi's face sank immediately, and Zhao Yuping and her son were all shocked by their shamelessness.
"I say, are you here to make fun of me?"
Looking up at them, Shen Xiangwan was so angry that she laughed: "It's none of my business if your children are greedy? Why should I share the fish I fried with you? How shameless are you?"
Now that you know you’re greedy, what did you do before?
It's not like they didn't pass through towns before, and the escorts were willing to help with shopping. Although the price would be a bit higher, they could still buy things. It was they who didn't buy pots and seasonings, so what right did they have to complain now? Did she deserve to owe them?
"You gave it all to my aunt, why don't you give it to us?"
"That's right, we are a family, and as the wife of the head of the family, you should treat everyone equally."
"Yes, we want to fry fish nuggets, too."
After a brief moment of shock, relying on their large numbers, the crowd once again made their demands with confidence. Their attitude was quite strong, but their behavior was extremely shameless.
"I'm giving you guys a chance, right?"
"drink···"
Shen Xiangwan suddenly jumped up, and the women gasped at the same time and reflexively took several steps back. Seeing that she was still holding a kitchen knife, many of them were filled with fear, as if they had just remembered that she was a ruthless person who dared to beat even the bailiff.
"roll!"
Too lazy to care about them anymore, Shen Xiangwan shouted in a deep voice.
"boom···"
Everyone immediately scattered like birds and beasts, as if they had forgotten what they had gathered for.
"They, they are so..."
Zhao Yuping was so angry that she had a heart attack. Would they dare to be more shameless?
"Okay, mother, they only have that much courage. As long as we are strong..."
"younger sister."
Before Shen Xiangwan finished speaking, a voice of "sister" interrupted her. She turned her head and saw Shen Xiangyue with a smile on her face, walking slowly towards them.
Hey, here comes another one looking for trouble?
Raising her eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan whistled nonchalantly, looking at Shen Xiangyue who was getting closer and closer with a half-smile. She might have held back on others, but she would not be so kind to her. You know, the original owner was really dead and would never come back, and it was Shen Xiangyue who killed her.
