Chapter 13 Shen Changan
Seeing that his uncle and aunt were not angry that he had rejected them too decisively last time, Shen Wuyou looked at Mu and said a little embarrassedly: “Aunt, I…I don’t have money to buy food for the time being, aunt, can you give me my brother’s rations first?”
Fearing that Mu might misunderstand, he quickly explained and assured: "Aunt, don't worry, when I get paid for my work, I will definitely give it back to you first."
Hearing this, Mu nodded and agreed with a smile: "Hey, look at you, we are all family, don't be so formal, just work in that manor without worry, and don't worry about your brother, don't you still have your uncle, don't you? When your cousin is free during the day, I will ask him to accompany his cousin more."
Shen Wuyou was relieved now! He wanted to take care of his brother himself, but he only had seven copper coins left! He could eat Guanyin soil to fill his stomach, but his brother was in poor health, so he must not let him suffer this.
“Uncle, aunt, Wuyou will go back first!” Shen Wuyou saw that the matter was resolved! He hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.
"Hey, wait for uncle to prepare everything tomorrow, and take you to the town in the next two days." After saying that, he winked at Mu and said, "Didn't the kitchen steam steamed buns? Bring two for Wuyou."
"Hey, I'll take it now." Mu ran to the kitchen quickly. Anyway, she would get one hundred taels soon! She was willing to give up these two steamed buns.
Shen Wuyou heard this and waved his hand: “Uncle, no need…”
Shen Ercheng said with a straight face: "You are being so polite again!"
In the end, Shen Wuyou had no choice but to accept the two black-faced steamed buns. All the way, he was grateful to Shen Ercheng and Mu. Although his father and uncle had a bad relationship, his uncle had been quite kind to the two brothers since his father left.
After returning home, Shen Wuyou handed two black-faced steamed buns to Shen Changan: “Brother, are you hungry? Here”
Shen Changan didn't reach out to take it. He looked at him with a concerned look and said, "Brother is not hungry yet, you eat first."
Shen Wuyou heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he put the steamed bread directly into Shen Changan's arms, trying to calm down and try his best not to let him notice anything.
"Brother, this is for you. You haven't eaten anything today. I ate all of mine on the way! My uncle's family gave it to me. They gave me four of them. Really."
No matter what he said, Shen Changan just insisted: "You eat too, otherwise my brother won't eat either."
Hearing this, Shen Wuyou covered his stomach and tried to pretend to burp: "Uh, brother, I'm so full now, I'm so full, why don't you eat one and leave one for tomorrow"
"Eat it!" Shen Changan picked up a steamed bun and handed it over: "When have you ever lied to your brother since you were a child?"
Shen Wuyou knew that he had not deceived her again, so he had to take the steamed bread and put it to his lips, taking a small bite. The tears in his eyes finally fell down, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, I'm sorry, Wuyou is so useless."
Hearing this, Shen Changan hated himself for being such a burden. He raised his hand to wipe the tears that were about to fall to his lips, patted Shen Wuyou who was sitting on the bed, and tried to smile and said, "Who said Wuyou is useless? In my brother's heart, Wuyou is the most powerful."
He is more capable than anyone else. Although he is only sixteen years old, he has been carrying his useless brother by himself for four years!
He was useless and a burden to his younger brother. If it weren't for his father's repeated instructions before his death, the two brothers would support each other for the rest of their lives, no matter who got married! The two brothers were not allowed to separate.
Dad, Changan is really about to collapse! In this situation, if he is still alive, he will only drag Wuyou down. I am afraid that by then, both brothers will have no chance to survive. At least, if he is gone, Wuyou will have a chance to survive.
Shen Wuyou, who was standing next to him, saw that his brother was worried. He was afraid that he was struggling to give up on him again, so he quickly leaned over and hugged his shoulders, threateningly:
"Brother, you can't leave. If you leave, Wuyou will have no faith to live anymore! If you dare to do something stupid and give up on yourself, I will follow you and see how you explain to our parents in the afterlife."
Hearing this, Shen Changan finally couldn't help crying. He was really tired and hated himself for being a burden!
Shen Wuyou saw his brother crying! He couldn't help it, he missed his father! As for his mother, he had never seen her because she died of dystocia when she gave birth to him, but he heard from his father that his mother was very beautiful and a very gentle woman.
In a shabby thatched hut, the two brothers' cries were suppressed. One was sixteen years old, the other nineteen years old.
After the two of them recovered, Shen Wuyou told Shen Changan: "Uncle helped me find a job in a mansion in the town, with one or two taels of silver a month."
After listening to this, Shen Changan frowned and disagreed: "What kind of work can earn one tael of silver a month? If it is true, why doesn't your uncle keep an eye on your cousin? Instead, he gives it to you. You know, he has always been at odds with Dad."
Shen Wuyou heard this and felt that his brother was overthinking! He analyzed himself: "Brother, maybe uncle doesn't want his cousin to leave home for a long time. After all, aunt only has this one son, how can she bear to only see him once a month? Besides! We want to break a copper coin in half! What else can uncle and aunt lie to me?"
"Moreover, over the past year, whenever my uncle saw me, he would often express his concern for me. Dad is no longer with us, so my uncle should have let it go and taken the initiative to make peace with us!"
After listening to Shen Wuyou’s analysis, Shen Changan always felt that something was wrong, but he had no way to refute it.
night.
Xu Zhiyi was upset and scratched his whole body. What was going on? He was fine before dinner, why did he suddenly feel so itchy all over?
I stood up and stood in front of the window. With the light shining through, I finally saw clearly that there were red spots on my arms and body. What was going on?
Why do red spots appear on my body for no reason?
I tried hard to think about what happened to me today, and even after thinking about it three times, I still didn't find anything unusual.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Could it be... the mung bean cake Xiao He gave me? If so, was he allergic to mung beans?
Try hard to recall the original owner's memory to see if he was allergic to mung beans.
Ah! She discovered that in the original owner's memory, her grandmother was also allergic to mung beans, but the ancient people didn't know what allergies were, and just thought it was poisoning! Or that something bad had grown on her.
Fortunately, the allergic reaction was not serious. At most, there would be rashes on the body. If it was a severe allergy, there would be a risk of shock!
Huh? What if the original owner's allergy to mung beans is hereditary? Would Su also be allergic? If so...
Oh, what a great idea!
Next, she made a gamble with everyone in the Xu family.
Haha, now that I’m in a better mood, my body doesn’t seem to be as itchy anymore!
The next day at noon.
Suddenly, two women came to the Xu family. They looked unfamiliar and kept talking to Old Mrs. Xu in a low voice, and seemed to look at her from time to time.
"Oh, she's pretty, but too thin! She doesn't even have a butt, and her front is so flat, it will be hard for her to give birth to a son! Even if she's lucky enough to give birth to a son, she's so flat, I'm afraid she won't have enough food to feed the baby."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xu quickly praised, "Sister! My granddaughter was so fat before, with a big butt and a firm front. Wasn't it because of the drought for half a year? Our family was in financial difficulty, and she became thin because of hunger. Take her home and raise her for three or two months, and you can wait to hold a fat grandson next year!"
