Chapter 108: Deep Thoughts and Bad
"You..." Gu Qingqian poked her teeth in anger: "We are daughters, you are the daughter-in-law, this is what you should do, and we are guests, do you understand?"
Shen Sisi crossed her arms and said, "Second aunt also knows that she is a guest. Since she is a guest, she should stop giving orders to our family."
Shen Sisi had said before that she didn't like washing dishes and would rather do other chores.
For today's meal, she was the one who washed the vegetables and cooked the remaining dishes. She was not idle at all.
In contrast, Gu Qingqian seemed to be unable to take care of herself.
"In this family, apart from Niuniu, who's not even four years old yet, you're the only one who doesn't do any work. If you really love your mother, you should take the initiative and show your filial piety."
Gu Qingqian looked at her slender, white hands and said, "My hands are for playing the piano, not for doing these rough work."
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Why do you tell me to do something you don't want to do yourself?" After saying this, Shen Sisi turned around and lay down in a comfortable position.
"You...you Shen Sisi, wait until my Chengfeng comes back, and see how I'll tell him."
"Whatever." Shen Sisi simply closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to her.
All of this was seen by Gu Wanyin who was sweeping the floor nearby.
She pulled Gu Qingqian towards the yard and said, "I've already told you not to provoke her for now. Why can't you control your mouth?"
Gu Qingqian grumbled aggrievedly, "I just can't stand her acting like she's so desperate. I don't know what kind of magic potion she gave the old lady to make her so dizzy."
"Didn't the old lady say that she came to Jiangcheng to deal with Shen Sisi, and that she would drive her away in three days? Look at her now, she's busy taking care of her children all day long, cooking and washing dishes for her. Is she still our mother?"
Based on her understanding of her own mother, Xu Hongying couldn't be so honest, but this time when she came, she found that her mother seemed like a different person.
"Before, he kept calling that Niuniu a bastard, but now he holds her in his arms and calls her his darling granddaughter every day. If Chengfeng hadn't been stuck in the desert for those years, I would have suspected that this was his child."
Gu Wanyin listened to her complaints quietly, never saying a word, thinking about something deeply in his eyes, and then whispered in Gu Qingqian's ear.
After listening to this, Gu Qingqian nodded quickly: "Okay, I understand."
The two of them rummaged around in the yard, and when Xu Hongying liked the dishes, they also cleaned up the yard.
Of course, it was only Gu Wanyin who was cleaning, and Gu Qingqian was standing beside her, talking.
"It's getting late, you should hurry back to your aunt's house!" Xu Hongying thought they were too noisy and could not help her with anything here, and also caused her a lot of trouble.
She used to only have to cook for two or three people, but now she has to cook for several people, a whole table. She is exhausted.
"Mom, you are so old, don't tire yourself out. You have a daughter-in-law at home, why don't you use her? You have been with Chengfeng for so long, but she hasn't laid a golden egg!" Gu Qingqian deliberately shouted in a high-profile voice, fearing that Shen Sisi could not hear her.
Shen Sisi listened to this but didn't take it to heart. She just turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, didn't know, didn't say anything, and didn't get angry.
Xu Hongying glared at Gu Qingqian. "You've been spoiled by me, kid. You're so tactless when it comes to what you say. Sisi has her own things to do. Last night, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw her hunched over the desk, writing something."
Xu Hongying suffered from the hardship of being uneducated and unemployed throughout her life. If she had her own career, she would not be trapped in this family and become a resentful woman.
So, seeing how hard Shen Sisi was trying, she decided to help as much as she could. Her two daughters would never understand these things.
They never thought about understanding her.
"Mom, why are you leaning outward like that? We're doing this for your own good."
Xu Hongying said, "Okay, go back. Tomorrow morning, accompany me to buy meat early in the morning."
Gu Wanyin obediently put down the broom, took Gu Qingqian and Shen Sisi, said hello, and left.
Shen Sisi stood up to see them off. When she went back, she found a very small bag hanging behind the door. Guessing it belonged to the two of them, she picked up the bag and chased after them.
After walking a few steps, she heard Gu Wanyin saying her name at a corner, but the voice was too soft and she couldn't hear it clearly.
Seeing that the people had already walked away, she hurriedly quickened her pace: "Sister-in-law, you dropped something."
Her sudden appearance frightened the two of them.
It feels like doing something bad and being caught.
Gu Wanyin's expression was a little unnatural, and she squinted at the bag: "Look at my memory. Thank you, Sisi, for sending it here specially."
Shen Sisi didn't know what they were plotting, and she wasn't interested.
"Then be careful on the road." After saying that, Shen Sisi suddenly cleared her throat in a mischievous manner: "You two should be careful when walking. When I came over just now, I thought I saw a dark shadow behind you!"
"What?" Gu Qingqian shuddered in fear and looked behind her: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no shadow at all."
Ana Shen lifted her hair in confusion: “Strange, I saw it just now.”
"Chen Sisi, that's enough, stop talking!" Gu Qingqian was already starting to get scared.
Gu Wanyin's expression was also very ugly, but she managed to calm herself down and said, "What are you afraid of? We don't do anything wrong, so we don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on our door."
Shen Sisi patted Gu Wanyin meaningfully: "My elder sister is right. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door..."
She deliberately dragged out the last few words, making the atmosphere cold and eerie.
Gu Qingqian hid behind Gu Wanyin: "Chen Sisi, stop talking about these weird things. There are no ghosts in this world."
Shen Sisi did not answer, but gave her a meaningful smile.
Although she wasn't sure what the two were talking about, it definitely wasn't anything good, so it might as well scare them.
Shen Sisi turned around and left with a wicked smile, going home to accompany Niuniu~
These days, Chen Sisi has been running around between the oil mill, the dock and home every day.
What she didn't expect was that the people who came to help with the work were Cao Hua's brothers.
They were unwilling to accept money and just said they were there to help, which made Shen Sisi feel embarrassed. She could only serve her with good wine and food every day.
Seeing that the mechanical oil pressing workshop was about to be completed, Shen Sisi introduced a set of fully automatic oil pressing machines through Wen Rong's connections.
This local brand in Hong Kong is almost comparable to the machines of big foreign brands, and the price is discounted.
After all this trouble, not only was Shen Sisi's wallet empty, but she also owed Wen Rong money for equipment.
Wen Rong was from a wealthy family and he didn't urge her to pay back the money. Instead, he kept trying to invite her to dinner.
Shen Sisi had refused several times, but this time, Wen Rong had helped her a lot and was also her creditor, so she thought about it and reluctantly agreed.
I thought it was just a simple meal in a private room of a state-owned hotel.
Unexpectedly, they booked a very high-end Western restaurant.
The only western restaurant in Jiangcheng!
When I was lost in thought, Wen Rong had already sat down with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
“Miss Shen…”
