While shopping, Shen Yunsheng noticed someone selling duck eggs on the roadside and bought some. She had wanted to make preserved eggs before, but she had never had the time. Now that she was back, she was going to work hard on it.
Although the old man was shopping, he was very worried about his granddaughter's situation. When a girl gets married, the most important thing is to look at the character of her husband's family.
If his granddaughter is unhappy in the Xiao family, he will find a way to help her.
"Oh dear! You must remember that you have a family to rely on, so you must never wrong yourself."
The old man took his granddaughter's hand and comforted her gently, saying that the women of their Tantai family did not need to depend on others. Even if his granddaughter could not regain her status as a princess, she was still the heir to the Divine Dragon Palace.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Wenjing finally came to his daughter-in-law, reached out to block their way, and put on a flattering smile: "Jingchuan's family, I'm sorry! I was rude before and made you feel wronged."
The old man glared at Xiao Wenjing, then turned and continued walking forward.
Shen Yunsheng followed behind her grandfather, not wanting to pay any attention to her father-in-law.
Seeing that the old man and his daughter-in-law ignored him, Xiao Wenjing turned his gaze to his son beside him and sighed helplessly: "Chuan'er! The old man doesn't believe my sincerity at all. Why don't you help me persuade him?"
Xiao Jingchuan looked at his father, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Alright then, but I can only do my best."
After saying that, Xiao Jingchuan walked to his grandfather's side and said softly, "Grandpa, actually my father isn't that bad. He probably just acted impulsively and said those hurtful things."
The old man stopped and turned to look at Xiao Jingchuan, his eyes full of affection: "You don't need to plead for him, I know what I'm doing."
Shen Yunsheng gently took her grandfather's hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa, I know you mean well, but sometimes we have to give others a chance. Besides, I think my father-in-law has realized his mistake, so we should give him a chance to correct it."
The old man's heart softened upon hearing his granddaughter's words. Although he was still somewhat reluctant, he finally nodded and said, "Alright, then let him have another chance. If there is a next time, I will definitely not let him off easily."
Xiao Wenjing nodded and looked at Shen Yunsheng gratefully: "Thank you, Jingchuan family."
Shen Yunsheng smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was not being polite. Then, she turned to her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I promised you that I wouldn't let myself be wronged. Now that you're here, I'm even less likely to."
The old man patted Shen Yunsheng's head with satisfaction and said with emotion, "That's enough! We should be lenient with him when we can. As long as he doesn't cause any more trouble from now on, you should still be filial to him."
Shen Yunsheng nodded, understanding her grandfather's meaning. They would stroll around for a bit and then head home.
Shen Yunsheng arrived home in the late afternoon.
After they finished dinner, they all went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Shen Yunsheng got up and began her work. She skillfully prepared the necessary materials: lime powder, rice husks, and various seasonings. These were all indispensable ingredients for making delicious preserved eggs.
Shen Yunsheng personally washed each duck egg carefully and gently dried it. Then, following her unique recipe, she mixed lime powder with water to form a paste, added an appropriate amount of rice bran and seasonings, and stirred it well.
Next, she carefully placed each duck egg into the prepared lime paste, ensuring that each egg was fully coated. After completing this step, she neatly arranged them in a sealed container, waiting for time to tell.
After all the duck eggs were processed, Shen Yunsheng counted them and found that there were two hundred and thirty preserved eggs! She was very satisfied with this number.
This many preserved eggs are not only enough to satisfy the family's needs, but also enough to sell dozens more at restaurants.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunsheng couldn't help but smile. She looked forward to the successful pickling of these preserved eggs, hoping they would become a delicious dish on everyone's table.
At the same time, she also hopes to find more opportunities to make money through this attempt.
Xiao Jingchuan felt a pang of heartache watching his wife busily pickling preserved eggs as soon as she got up.
He silently went to the kitchen, took out the best tea leaves, carefully selected a few leaves, put them into the teapot, and then gently brewed them with hot water.
As the aroma of tea gradually filled the air, Xiao Jingchuan carefully poured the brewed tea into a cup, placed it in front of his wife, and said softly, "Wife, you've worked hard. Have a cup of tea to soothe your throat."
Shen Yunsheng took the teacup and said with a smile, "Thank you, husband, I'm not tired."
Thinking of what happened in the military camp, Xiao Jingchuan casually mentioned, "Wife! The Great General of the Nation has sent a letter. He wants me to rest for a while before returning to my post."
Shen Yunsheng chuckled to himself, "[I wouldn't mind if you went now. I haven't had a good night's sleep since you came home.]"
Xiao Jingchuan stood there quietly, listening to the voice deep within his wife's heart, his expression gradually turning forlorn.
For days, he had been sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor every night, a truly unbearable experience. He silently endured it all, yet he always harbored a small wish—to be able to return to bed and sleep with his wife. However, reality was always so cruel; although his wife considered him family, she didn't have him in her heart.
"Husband! You don't need to discuss this with me; you can decide for yourself."
Shen Yunsheng didn't want to interfere in her husband's career. To her, he was just a business partner, and she had no right to dictate his life.
Xiao Jingchuan felt as if a small animal was tickling his heart, making it impossible for him to remain calm.
He wanted to tell his wife, "I'm willing to follow your arrangements," but he felt a little embarrassed, so he could only suppress this impulse. He really hoped to say those words and let his wife know that he had fallen in love with her.
