Chapter 352: A sense of unreality
Madam Shen nodded, "I understand, mother-in-law has become the third aunt, right?"
"Um."
"This kind of thing is not surprising in the countryside, but I'm afraid she can't distract herself from Ye Beixiu anymore, right?"
Zhang Juexia looked at Madam Shen in surprise, "Madam, how did you guess so accurately?"
Madam Shen smiled, "Silly girl, I've lived to this age and have seen a lot of things like this.
You can be independent, and your grandparents are in good health and can help you, so don't ask for too much."
“I understand!”
"We should also try to persuade Ye Beixiu. If he passes the military examination, he will definitely become an official, and he can't stand any gossip."
Zhang Juexia did not hide anything and briefly explained the decision made by Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan and how it was implemented in the village.
Madam Shen nodded with satisfaction. "It is truly a blessing for you that these two elders live such a clear life. You must be filial to them."
"I know!"
Wang Guilan entered the house carrying steaming hot meals. "Madam, the meal is ready, let's eat!"
Then she turned her gaze to Zhang Juexia, "Juexia, the old lady..."
Madam Shen understood, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There's no need to separate them for me. Let's eat together, it will be more lively."
Zhang Juexia hesitated, fearing that Madam Shen wouldn't be used to the food. "Madam, how about we open a separate table for you?"
Madam Shen's face immediately fell. "Isn't this nonsense? What did we say when we were in the county? Since I decided to come to your house, I didn't consider myself a guest. Wouldn't it be estranged to do this?"
She stood up and looked at Wang Guilan, "Old sister, is it appropriate for me to call you that?"
"Suitable, suitable."
"Well, what Juexia said just now doesn't count. Call your eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law who are cooking outside, as well as Juexia, and let's sit down and have a meal together."
Wang Guilan did not refuse and agreed readily.
Zhang Juexia saw that Mrs. Shen had said this, so if she continued to talk about this and that, it would really seem awkward.
"Madam, I'll go help serve the dishes too."
"good!"
The meal prepared by Wang Guilan was also quite sumptuous, including braised rabbit, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork, mixed wild vegetables, stir-fried vegetables with meat, and steamed eggs. The six dishes were all served in large plates and bowls, and the round table looked full.
Because of the seating issue, everyone was polite to each other before sitting down to eat.
Wang Guilan let Madam Shen eat the food, "Madam, the people in the mountains don't have any expensive things to treat you. The dishes on this table are all produced in the mountains. Please try them."
Old Madam Shen picked up a piece of wild rabbit and exclaimed that it was delicious.
"This wild game is still delicious! Sister, please don't be polite with me, this is already good enough.
I haven't tasted these wild game delicacies in a long time. If you ask me, your dishes are truly priceless!"
Wang Guilan felt very relieved after hearing this and hurriedly let Mrs. Shen take some food.
At first, Zhao Baofeng and Li Yiqun were a little reserved.
Gradually, everyone became familiar with each other.
Old Madam Shen asked Li Yiqin how old her child was, and Li Yiqin answered truthfully.
"Well, bring her here sometime so I can have a look. When you get old, you really want children."
Wang Guilan echoed, "That's right."
Zhang Juexia couldn't help at all and just kept eating with his head down.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, Old Madam Shen felt sleepy, so Zhang Juexia and Lihua cleaned up the east wing and let her go to rest.
Madam Shen was very satisfied with her room. "Juexia, you are giving me the best room in your house."
"Madam, this is not called giving in. You are the elder, and this east wing is originally for elders to live in."
"Okay! You've all been tired, go take a break!"
Wang Guilan, Zhao Baofeng and Li Yiqun helped Zhang Juexia pack up and returned to their own homes.
Before they left, they told Zhang Juexia, "They will come back to help with cooking in the evening."
Zhang Juexia nodded quickly in response. After all, there were many people eating at home, and Li Yun and Taohua were not familiar with the house yet, so she really had no choice but to refuse.
Zhang Juexia arranged the people brought by Old Madam Shen, and Lihua arranged the maids on duty, and everyone went to rest.
Zhang Juexia entered the house and was not idle. She first made a list, thinking of asking Lin Yuan to go to Jinshui Town tomorrow to buy these things.
After finishing all this, she went to take a look in the backyard, then lay down on the bed and took a short nap.
Zhang Juexia, lying on the bed, felt like he was dreaming, and it felt quite unreal.
Who is Madam Shen?
Such a high-ranking person actually visited her home.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, thinking that Mrs. Shen must have always had a pastoral dream!
This time, I will let her have a good experience.
Zhang Juexia was a little too excited and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She thought, why not just get up and take a look at the workshop in the back.
She quickly packed herself up and quietly left the house.
When we arrived at the workshop, everyone was busy.
When Song Yu saw her, his eyes turned slightly red.
She patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Li Yulan was away, and Li Zao was busy, so Liu Jinhua went up to her and said a few words, "At noon, everyone heard the voices from your family.
I wanted to go talk to you, but I heard from your aunt that you brought a distinguished guest with you, so we didn't dare to disturb you."
"Bei Xiu's wife, where did this distinguished guest come from?"
Someone in the crowd said something, and Liu Jinhua immediately glared, "What did we say before? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.
Do you feel that you have made some money here and don’t know your own worth?
If you really feel like you have more money than you can spend at home, you can just quit working here and go home."
Everyone immediately quieted down, and the room was so quiet that the only sound in the room was the sound of threading a needle.
Perhaps the incident between Qin Eryong and Li Yulan had frightened everyone enough that no one dared to ask any more questions.
Zhang Juexia smiled at Liu Jinhua to express his gratitude.
Liu Jinhua waved her hand to indicate that nothing was wrong.
Everyone was working with their heads down. If Zhang Juexia spoke louder, it would ruin the good atmosphere.
She signaled to Song Yu, who stood up and went out with her.
Song Yu felt that it was difficult to talk about her affairs in the workshop, "Jue Xia, if you don't have anything to do, let's go to my house!"
"OK!"
The two walked side by side towards Song Yu's house.
Zhang Juexia explained to her, “I received a letter from Shopkeeper Li Xi the day before yesterday, and I had originally planned to return to the village early yesterday morning.
As a result, Mrs. Shen came to Shunhe County from Qingfeng City specifically, so she was delayed for a day.
Sister Song, what are your plans regarding Sister Jin'er's matter? "
