Chapter 237: Smash or Not
Wang Hao was annoyed by what he said. He stiffened his neck and shouted, "Alright, stop talking! It's snowing. How can their kiln possibly burn? If it doesn't, won't the others make a fuss?"
After all, these people in their yard have worked with the Shen family for four or five days. If they can't make bricks and tiles, the Shen family will be drowned in spit.
Old Lady Wang looked at him with dismay, "You know nothing! Even if they can't make bricks and tiles, they still have charcoal! At worst, the Shen family still has cotton, but we have nothing!"
Because of her feud with the Shen family, Old Lady Wang shamelessly did not join the warm-keeping action this time. She was full of resentment, but she couldn't get angry at the Shen family, so she could only point the finger at Wang Hao who had always been against the Shen family.
"Isn't it just charcoal? I can get it for you." Wang Hao scratched his hair irritably. An idea popped into his mind and his eyes lit up immediately.
Let’s put the Wang family aside for now and talk about Wu Laoliu’s house in the courtyard. At this moment, the charcoal he made himself is burning, and thick black and gray smoke is coming out from the crack in the door.
"What the hell, is that little girl from the Shen family a monster? How could she actually build a brick kiln?" Wu Laoliu coughed, drank a few sips of water, and frowned.
He said in front of others that day that if the Shen family really built the kiln, he would destroy his kiln.
He went to see it secretly today, and found that the other kiln was much better than his just by looking at the rigor of its construction.
So, should he destroy the kiln or not?
At the same time, all the Shen family members gathered together. Mrs. Wu endured the pain and added two more kilograms of grain to the porridge. The family drank the hot multi-grain porridge, which warmed their stomachs and whole bodies.
Mrs. Wu finished the porridge in her bowl, wiped her mouth with a coarse cloth handkerchief, and moved a stool to sit aside.
After Shen Qingqian and the others had finished eating, Xiao Lin took Shen Qingman and Shen Qingxiao to clean up, and then Wu spoke.
"Second sister-in-law, please take the quilt you made for Jun'er and his family to Mr. Shan later. He has just recovered from his injury and should not catch a cold." Wu said to Lin.
Lin's eyes darkened, and then she nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law."
In fact, she was not very willing to share her son's quilt with outsiders, but Wu must have her own intentions in making such arrangements.
Brothers Shen Jun, Chen Shan and Shen Yong lived in the same room. They only had two quilts, and when one was taken away, the three brothers had to sleep together.
"Auntie Wu, I don't feel comfortable doing this. I'll just make do with it tonight. I'll ask someone to think of a solution tomorrow. The general won't ignore me." Shan Mancheng was holding a tea bowl filled with hot water in his hand. Hearing this, he quickly declined.
His injury has almost healed. He has been going to the Shen family these past two days, staying with Shen Jun and the others, and occasionally helping with things within his ability.
Seeing him like this, Wu Shi directly asked him to come to her house for dinner in the future, which saved her the trouble of bringing him food. So Shan Mancheng also participated in the after-dinner conversations at the Shen family for the past two nights.
"You are a distinguished guest. It is not right for us to let you suffer from the cold. You have nothing to feel embarrassed about. After all, we originally wanted to make two quilts for Cheng San and Cheng Yun, but they haven't come back yet," said Mrs. Wu with a smile.
Because the Cheng brothers were not there, she did not let Lin make their quilts first.
