Chapter 57 Bomb

"Wang, come here."

Arriving at the main hall, Wang was like a quail, not daring to utter a word. Old Mrs. Ji, who was sitting upstairs, had a gloomy face and did not speak.

After a long while, Old Lady Ji finally spoke: "Second daughter-in-law, our house is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. Go back to where you came from."

"Mom, are you going to chase me away?" Wang was anxious. "That's my mother. My mother and my brother are starving. I can't just stand by and do nothing! I didn't do anything wrong."

"What did you say to your mother?" Old Mrs. Ji looked at Wang with sharp eyes.

Wang said hesitantly, "I didn't say anything. I just mentioned our family's situation briefly. Don't worry, Mom. I didn't tell anyone about our grain exchange."

"Then your mother isn't surprised that we have food? Wang, you should divorce the second son. We in the Shen family don't want people like you who are traitors."

Wang was frightened. She originally thought that Old Lady Ji just wanted to send her back to her parents' home to live for a few days, but she didn't expect that Old Lady Ji actually wanted the second son to divorce her! She glanced at her husband and saw that Shen Xiangnan was hesitant to speak, and didn't dare to plead for her.

"Mom! I was wrong! I won't do it again!" Wang pleaded.

"You are wrong? Do you know where you are wrong? What if your mother sees that we have so much food today, will she report it? Do you want to report our family too? How about the whole family go there to keep those two old men and women company? What did I say before? You must never mention the exchange of food at home to anyone else. You must never tell anyone outside that we have food. Now every household is hungry, and only our family eats so well. It's ok for you not to be grateful, but you also want to bring trouble to our family! Do you dare to keep you?"

"Mom, I was really wrong. I couldn't help but let it slip because my mom cried a few words. But I only said that I saw food in the cellar, but I didn't tell my mom how much food there was. My mom asked me where the food came from, but I didn't tell her. Mom, Hanxi, Hanwen, and Hanwu are still young, they can't live without me as their mother."

Seeing Wang's miserable state, Du was also frightened. Her family was not doing well either. She had thought about asking them to come and borrow some grain from her...

Old Mrs. Ji remained silent and continued to watch Wang pleadingly.

After a while, Mrs. Ji finally spoke.

"I'll keep you for a month to see how you perform. Remember, I'm keeping you for this month for the sake of our three children. If you continue to be dishonest, you can leave."

"Thank you, Mom." Shen Xiangnan was finally able to pull up Wang, who was half lying on the ground. He thanked Old Mrs. Ji repeatedly, and then took Wang back to the house.

When only Shen Ruoqing and Old Lady Ji were left, Old Lady Ji sighed helplessly.

"My dear, do you think my punishment for Wang is too light?"

"Mom, I know you have your own thinking capacity."

"Hey, Wang Shi, this troublemaker, you shouldn't have married her in the first place. Your second brother chose Wang Shi himself. When we first met, she looked honest. Later, I found that she had some minor flaws, but I was able to suppress them and didn't care much. I didn't expect that now that life is better, she would cause so many troubles. I really want to ask the second brother to divorce her. But, after all, she gave birth to three sons for the second brother, and if I really let her divorce the second brother, there is no guarantee that she will not tell everyone about our family affairs."

The last point is what Old Lady Ji is most worried about. Although it is not illegal for them to exchange food, their family has sold vegetables for money before. Moreover, every household is hungry now, and only their family has so much food, it is hard to guarantee that others will not be jealous.

If the second son really divorces Wang, Wang will definitely spread the news everywhere and may even report their family. Then their family will be very sad.

Shen Ruoqing was also worried about this. At first, she wanted to improve the family's food and increase the income, so she didn't guard her family too much. After all, what the family eats and uses is visible, and this cannot be hidden. Unexpectedly, Wang Shi, a troublemaker, appeared. It seems that she should be more careful in the future. Now it seems that Wang Shi has been suppressed, but Wang Shi is still a bomb.

"My dear, where did you put the food?" Old Mrs. Ji just remembered to ask about the food.

"I hid it. I thought our cellar wasn't safe, so I hid it first. I didn't expect it to come in handy today." Shen Ruoqing said. "Mom, don't worry, I hid it well. I'll take it back after we finish eating the food."

"Okay, you hide well. Fortunately, my sweet boy has foresight, otherwise if that old bitch Cui Zhaodi saw that we have so much food, who knows how she would use it as a handle to blackmail us in the future." Old Mrs. Ji was very relieved about Shen Ruoqing.

Wang was pulled back into the house by Shen Xiangnan. She cried and told Shen Xiangnan how difficult her life was and how much she had contributed to the family. Her eyes were swollen from crying.

"Master, this is too disappointing. It would be better if we split up the family."

Shen Xiangnan, who had been a little moved, immediately became serious when he heard the word "separation". "What nonsense are you talking about? If you hadn't made such a big mistake, would your mother treat you like this? I think you deserve it! Parents are still alive and the family should not be separated. Do you understand this principle? I told you last time not to let me hear the word "separation" again, but you still don't remember it, right? I think my mother is right. You only think about your mother's family and your own interests, and don't care about our big family at all."

"You said I didn't care. How could I not care? I told you if it wasn't for me..."

Shen Ruoqing didn't know that the second room had already started a quarrel. She knocked on her eldest brother's door and said, "Brother, I brought you some medicine."

Han opened the door, "Sister-in-law, I'm bothering you again."

"No trouble." Shen Ruoqing shook his head, "How is my brother doing?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I give him massages every day as you said, and he said he feels much better." Han said with a smile.

"That's good."

"Little sister, your sister-in-law told me these days that she often suffers from back pain and leg cramps. How about you take a look at her?" Shen Xiangdong said while lying on the bed.

"What's so good about this? It's just that I'm tired from serving you." Han felt a little embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter. Let me show you." Shen Ruoqing said with a smile.

After a diagnosis, it was found that there was nothing wrong with Han, except that he was a little calcium deficient.

"I have some milk powder in my room. Go get it later, sister-in-law. Eat it every day. Brother should also eat it. It's just a minor problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Two doses will be enough."

"No, no, milk powder is such a precious thing, you keep it for yourself, sister-in-law."

Shen Ruoqing said: "It's okay, I still have some, and I don't usually like to drink this, sister-in-law, you can go get it."
