Grandma Xu was very satisfied with Shu Jiaying's obedience to her. After arriving at the lobby, she sat in the main seat in the main room and winked at Shu Jiaying.
Shu Jiaying immediately stood in front of Grandma Xu respectfully and asked politely, "Grandma Xu, if you have any instructions for Jiaying, please tell me."
"Hmm...you seem quite clever, girl. Since your understanding is not bad, I won't beat around the bush. My rules at home are very simple, that is, go to bed at 11:00 and wake up at 12:00."
Xushi? That is 7 to 9 pm, Maoshi should be 5 to 7 am.
Grandma Xu stipulated that we should go to bed early and get up early. This is good for health and there is nothing wrong with it. Shu Jiaying readily agreed, "Okay."
"Well, since you've entered this family, it's a fact that you'll be eating and drinking at my house, no matter how many days you stay. Although it's your responsibility to take care of me, it's also your obligation to contribute to this family. I don't ask much of you. I hope you can manage the housework in an orderly manner. If you have some free time, the hens at home lay some eggs. You can sell them at the market and the money you earn will be just enough to supplement the family expenses. You know, with one more person in the family, the expenses will increase."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Shu Jiaying had no objection to this. Eating someone else's food was passive in itself. It was her own fault that she had nothing now. Doing some housework for Xu Lichang's family and helping to run errands to sell some things was just a piece of cake and nothing big. Shu Jiaying could take this opportunity to go to the market to inquire about the prices of herbs so that she would have a better idea of the prices.
Seeing Shu Jiaying smiling, Grandma Xu was very surprised. However, it was rumored that the eldest girl of the Shu family had always been submissive, so she was bullied by her family.
Thinking of this, Grandma Xu felt a little sympathy for Shu Jiaying again.
However, sympathy is sympathy, and things that need to be made clear must still be made clear.
Grandma Shu continued, "Ugly girl, you've seen the situation in our family. Although my son is the head of Guangming Village, he is a very straightforward person. He knows nothing about those crooked ways and disdains them. That's why he only gets a small salary every month and has to support me, his mother. Therefore, our family's food is quite tight. Now that you live in my house, I have to give you an extra share.
Um... can you eat less? For someone as thin as you, I think you should eat one meal a day, one bowl of porridge per meal... no, half a bowl of porridge is enough."
“…”
Facing Grandma Xu's negotiating look, Shu Jiaying really wanted to surrender.
This old lady really wants the horse to run without eating grass. She clearly doesn't want me to eat at her house, but how is that possible?
Shu Jiaying could take care of the old lady at Village Chief Xu's house and do the work, but she couldn't be allowed to eat without her. She was thinking about how to object to Grandma Xu's embarrassing question when Village Chief Xu came back with a fresh live fish in his hand.
Cheerfully handing the fish to Shu Jiaying, Village Chief Xu said, "Jiaying, this is a live fish that the village idiot caught in the river with a trap. He caught a whole trap today, and he just happened to be passing by and gave me a big fish. Go prepare it, and we'll make fish soup tonight."
Grandma Xu immediately looked disgusted.
"What's so delicious about this fish? It's fishy and smelly. Everyone knows that Erlang catches fish to feed pigs. He gave you a fish. Does he think you're a pig?"
