Chapter 9 Sun Taohua is here

When it was getting dark, Shen Hansong, Shen Yun and Shen Xue all arrived, but Shen Yue, Shen Hanwen and Shen Hanwu were nowhere to be seen.

"Aunt, Yueyue has something to do." Shen Hansong was a little embarrassed. Shen Yue, originally wanted to go when she heard that they were going to catch cicada monkeys, but when she heard that they were going to catch them for Shen Ruqing to eat, she immediately said she would not go.

"It's okay, we can just go with a few of us. You won't be allowed to catch these cicada monkeys for nothing. If you catch one, I'll give you two cents."

"Two cents? No, aunt, how can we ask you for money? We caught the cicada monkeys to nourish your body, how can we charge you for this?" Shen Hansong, Shen Yun and Shen Xue shook their heads. They knew Shen Ruoqing was rich. The old lady would give her some pocket money, and she had accumulated a lot over the years. Shen Ruoqing was also the only one whose New Year's money would not be confiscated.

"It's settled, don't you want to catch the cicada monkey for me?"

"Those things are worthless. Aunt, if you give us money, grandma will beat us to death." Shen Yun said in a low voice.

"Mom, I want a lot of cicada monkeys. If you don't pay me, I'm afraid you won't care." Shen Ruoqing waved her hand. She didn't want just one or two. "Stop talking. Let's go catch them first."

After leaving the house, Shen Ruoqing was a little confused. There were many trees in Dashitou Village, like there were trees in front and behind their house. She knew that cicada monkeys liked to live in trees, but there were so many trees, and it was pitch black around, where could they catch them?

Shen Hansong's voice rang out: "Aunt, just follow us."

Today she went out late, it was dark, and she couldn't see anything. She just went to the kitchen to borrow a fire from her mother, and with the fire she felt that she would be able to catch a lot today.

Shen Xue walked aside and said, "Aunt, there must be no one in the woods now. Let's go catch some together. I will definitely give you a big bowl full of them so you can eat your fill."

When they arrived at the woods, Shen Ruoqing discovered that it was just a few rows of small trees, growing scattered around. The four of them could just pass through these trees in one go.

There are indeed many cicada monkeys in the grove, but they are small. I caught more than 50 of them and only got half a pound. It seems that this is not a way to make a fortune! Miscalculated! Cicada monkeys are high in protein, not to mention that they are still pure wild and pollution-free. Shen Ruoqing changed her mind and stopped selling them. She now has more than 450 yuan, and she doesn't care about these few yuan. It's better to catch some cicada monkeys to improve everyone's meals.

When the time was about right, the four of them had already walked through the forest. They had caught more than 200 cicada monkeys. Shen Ruoqing wanted to give them money, but the three of them refused to take it. There was nothing they could do, so the four of them hurried back home.

"Erya, Sanya, the two of you help wash these cicada monkeys clean. We will fry them tomorrow." Shen Ruoqing said.

She actually wanted to fry it, but when she looked at the kitchen, there was only a little oil left, so frying it was definitely not realistic. She could only stir-fry it, as there was so much food.

"My dear, why did you catch so much?" Old Mrs. Ji looked at him and said, "Are you craving for meat? I'll buy you a pound of meat tomorrow."

Meat is hard to buy nowadays.

"No, I just want to eat cicada monkeys. They are nutritious. Mom, you should eat more tomorrow."

These more than 200 cicada monkeys may seem like a lot, but on average each person can only get a dozen.

Shen Ruoqing pickled all the cicada monkeys with salt and they will be stir-fried into a meat dish tomorrow.

The next morning, Shen Ruoqing went to dig wild vegetables again and earned more than 40 yuan this time.

At noon, the cicada monkeys were served and distributed by Old Lady Ji. First, 22 were given to Shen Ruoqing, then 20 to Shen Hansong, Shen Yun, and Shen Xue, Old Lady Ji herself had 18, and her three sons had 16 each. The rest were divided equally among the others.

"This is much more delicious than the previous one. Did you add a lot of salt?" Shen Xiangnan smacked his lips. "Hanwen and Hanwu, you guys should go catch a few too?"

"If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't order my precious son around. There's not much meat, what's so good about it?" Although Wang said this, her mouth was not idle, and she ate several at once. This is meat.

"I'm just saying that. I'm so tired at work, how can I have time to catch this cicada monkey?" Shen Xiangnan said. Even if he caught it, his mother probably wouldn't be willing to give him the salt jar.

Old Lady Ji tasted one and found that it did contain a lot of salt, so it tasted quite good. She looked at Shen Ruoqing suspiciously. She remembered seeing the salt jar, and there wasn't much less salt in it.

"It's enough to have something to eat, why are you still complaining?" Old Lady Ji interrupted everyone's discussion, "You are all brothers, and you still want your sister to catch cicadas for you to eat. Aren't you ashamed? If you want to eat, just catch them yourself in the future."

After eating the cicada monkey, Shen Xue ran over and said to her, "Auntie, the peach blossoms are here."

Sun Taohua? What is she doing here? Shen Ruoqing wondered, this girl, hasn't she learned enough from her lesson? How dare she come to find me? It's just right, let's go and take a look.

Shen Ruoqing walked out, and Shen Xue followed him because she was afraid that something might happen to Shen Ruoqing.

"Ruoqing, are you feeling better? I really didn't mean to do that before. I pushed you accidentally. Because your mother came to my house to make trouble, I haven't eaten for three days, and I was slapped a few times..."

Sun Taohua had a sallow complexion and red and swollen eyes. She was 1.5 meters tall and one year older than Shen Ruoqing.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Whether it was intentional or unintentional, I don't want to pursue this matter anymore. Your family has already paid compensation. As for what happened to you, I can only say that it was your own fault. What are you doing here now?"

Shen Ruoqing looked at her coldly.

The original owner treated Sun Taohua as a good sister and would give Sun Taohua a portion of any food she had. She didn't expect that Sun Taohua would push the original owner away.

Why did she push him away? It was just that the original owner was getting closer to Lin Chen, the only high school student in the village. The original owner told Sun Taohua that she would soon be Lin Chen's girlfriend. Sun Taohua also liked Lin Chen. Suddenly, she was filled with jealousy and pushed the original owner away.

Although he came here because of Sun Taohua herself, Sun Taohua also had a life on her hands, so Shen Ruoqing did not sympathize with Sun Taohua.

"Ruoqing, why did you become like this? I really didn't mean to do that. I just saw a snake and pushed you in panic. You see, you are fine now, and my family has paid a lot of money. Can you please forgive me?"

"Why didn't I see the snake? I almost lost my life. I will never forgive you." Shen Ruoqing was a little annoyed. If she had known that Sun Taohua came to tell her such nonsense, she would not have come out.

"Ruoqing, how did you become like this? You used to be very kind and generous. If Brother Chen knew you had become like this, he would definitely not like you anymore."

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm telling you, Lin Chen can like whoever he wants. It has nothing to do with me!"

When Shen Ruoqing thought that the original owner died because of Lin Chen, he lost his good impression of Lin Chen!
