Chapter 10 Tea Eggs
10 Tea Eggs
Shen Wanwan came to Old Shen's house.
Mother Shen was still lying on the bed, groaning.
I was pretending before, but this time it’s real. My heart really hurts, it hurts terribly!
One thousand three hundred and thirty yuan! How could that damned rebellious girl eat that? Isn’t she afraid of being choked to death?
"If I had known she was such a traitor, I should have pushed her into the urine bucket and drowned her!" Mother Shen cursed viciously.
Shen Wanwan came at this time.
"Mom, are you feeling better?"
When Shen's mother saw her, she immediately looked at her back and couldn't help asking, "Didn't Shen Yiyi come back with you?"
The reason why Shen Wanwan knew about this was that Shen's mother asked Shen Ergang to tell her on his way to work in the morning, so that as the eldest sister, she must convince Shen Yiyi to return the more than one thousand yuan!
"Third sister said she was busy with work, so...she didn't have time to come back." Shen Wanwan said weakly.
Shen's mother scolded, "What is she busy with? What can she be busy with? Even the young mistresses are not as free as she is! Tell me the truth, is she really going to sever ties with the Shen family?"
Shen Wanwan quickly advised, "Mom, don't take it to heart. Third sister was just hurt by Dagang and Meiyun, and now she can't get over it. It will be fine after a while. I will go and persuade her again. Don't worry, I will make Third sister return the more than one thousand yuan!"
Shen's mother immediately grabbed her hand and said, "You said it. If you can't do it, you have to pay it back for her!"
"This..." Shen Wanwan shuddered, "Mom, I... You know my situation, how can I have so much money? Now my family doesn't even manage my money, even the money for buying groceries has to be calculated from me every penny."
Ever since her husband found out that she had given all the family money to her parents' home, he wanted to beat her to death.
After that, I no longer managed her financial affairs and only gave her money for buying groceries.
However, she can also do some tricks when buying vegetables. She can just pick the ones that are not fresh and buy the cheap ones, and she can save some money.
When the man came back from outside and found out about this, he beat her again.
Now that her husband has been transferred to work in the county, he even has to ask her for money for groceries. There is really no profit at all.
Shen's mother was so angry that she hit her hard several times, "Why did I give birth to such a useless waste like you? Such a big thing happened in my mother's family, but you can't help at all. Are you really controlled by that bastard Tong Dawei? In my opinion, you should just get a divorce!"
When she said the word "divorce", Shen's mother's eyes lit up.
"Divorce?" Shen Wanwan asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's right, divorce!"
It was just something she said out of anger, but now Shen's mother has discovered that this is also a way!
Her eyes sparkled as she said, "You gave birth to children for the Tong family, but they don't treat you as a human being. As a nanny, you get paid every month, but what do you get in the Tong family? They don't treat you as a human being. Go back and tell Tong Dawei that you want to divorce him!"
Shen Wanwan said fearfully, "But...but what if he really divorces me? I'm already 40 years old."
Shen's mother smiled and patted her hands. "Just don't worry. How dare he divorce you? If you divorce, how can he raise four children by himself? Who would be willing to accept such a rotten stall?"
"But, but what should I do if you really divorce me?" Shen Wanwan said in a daze.
Mother Shen said gently, "Silly child, you are my biological daughter, how can I harm you? If he really divorces you, you can come back to your parents' home, how can I live without you? Your eldest brother and second brother both have jobs, and your youngest brother is studying in the university in MLZL City. He will become an official in the future, so how can he not take care of you, the eldest sister? You have your parents' home, don't be afraid!"
Shen Wanwan was deeply moved when she heard this, "Mom, you are so good to me!"

At Old Qin's house, Shen Yiyi and Qin's mother have finished all the housework.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rolled up their sleeves and started cooking tea eggs!
Wash the pot and turn on the stove. Put the eggs in cold water and boil them for about ten minutes.
Take out and rinse with cool water, then crack the eggs and set aside.
Qin's mother helped her knock: "I have never made tea leaf eggs, so I don't know how to make them. I will help you."
Shen Yiyi felt warm in her heart and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom!"
This mother-in-law is really nice. I don’t know what will happen between her and Qin Lie in the future, but no matter what happens between them, she recognizes him as Qin’s mother.
Even if we can't be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, being a godmother is also good.
Qin Lie, who was far away in the army: "?"
Mother Qin had no idea what her daughter-in-law was thinking, so she chatted with her while cracking eggs.
Shen Yiyi replaced the water used to boil eggs in the pot and added a few ladles of clean water to boil.
She cracked eggs with Qin's mother. Shen Yiyi cooked a lot of eggs and cooked two kilograms of eggs at home.
After the eggs were cracked and the water in the pot had boiled, Shen Yiyi poured the prepared soy sauce into the pot and brought it to a boil.
When the fire is about right, pour the necessary spices, tea, and salt into the pot, bring them to a boil, then put the cracked eggs in to cook.
"For this last step, just use a low heat. Cook it for fifteen minutes and simmer it for a few hours, and our five-spice tea leaf eggs will be done." Shen Yiyi said with a smile.
Qin's mother was also looking forward to it.
After finishing the tea eggs, I saw that it was almost noon.
Shen Yiyi said, "Mom, shall we eat noodles?"
Mother Qin nodded, "Okay!"
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started kneading the dough, rolling it out and cutting it into strips. Shen Yiyi also cut some cucumber into cubes and made sour cucumber.
When the noodles are cooked, sprinkle the diced cucumber on top.
The noodles tasted refreshing and fresh because there was nothing extra added to them. They were full of the rich wheat flavor.
Cucumber cubes are also delicious.
Mother Qin finished a bowl of noodles and still felt unsatisfied. "Yiyi, your cooking skills are getting better and better now."
Shen Yiyi smiled, "Mom, you always say it's delicious no matter what I cook."
Mother Qin smiled and said, "Your cooking skills are really good. When you and the third child go to join the army, the third child will definitely enjoy the delicious food. Mom is looking forward to having a grandson soon."
Shen Yiyi: “…” Well, no matter how good a mother-in-law is, she is still looking forward to having a grandson. I understand.
After lunch, I cleaned up the kitchen and went back to my room for a nap.
Although her health was not good, Shen Yiyi's physical strength improved a lot after she started exercising consciously, but she was still weak.
I slept from one o'clock to four o'clock.
Shen Yiyi slept for three full hours, which even she found a little unbelievable.
You have to know that in her previous life, she could only take a nap for half an hour at noon and sleep for a maximum of six hours at night. Sometimes, it was even less than that, and it was common for her to only sleep for four or five hours.
Otherwise, where did she get her annual salary of one million? She earned it by working so hard.
