Chapter 191 Sending Fish and Rabbit Meat

Ji Wenhe sat on the bench, knitting a silk scarf: "If we don't send them off, wouldn't that mean we are cutting off the relationship? Then when Yuanshan and Wenshan get married in the future, will they come?"

He Yuxiang took over the conversation: "That depends on how well you prepare the banquet."

If done well, it's worth spending six cents on a meal.

"Xie Fenglian is a calculating person. If it weren't for the fact that your Aunt Qian has so many relatives and she was afraid of spending money, she would definitely arrange the banquet."

Ji Wenhe sighed: "No matter how good a granddaughter is, she is not as important as a grandson."

"That may not be the case. My children are not that bad. No matter what happens in the future, I will marry them off respectably."

Several people looked at Li Chunhong.

After Shen Xiaoxian broke her leg, her complexion became better and better, and she looked full of energy, no longer as lifeless as before.

She has no idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, and she loves all the children she gives birth to equally.

Niu Guilan started to gossip: "Chunhong, how is your husband? Is he still beating and scolding you?"

She smiled and said, "How dare he? Now I won't endure it anymore. If he stays at home and does well, he will have food for every meal."

If he is not honest, she has ways to make him suffer a fate worse than death.

They looked at each other and continued to work on their tasks with their heads down.

Lan Qiuhua said earnestly: "Chunhong, don't go too far. After all, he is your man and the father of your child."

"We are happy to see that you are living a good life, but don't make a big fuss, otherwise if the head of the village finds out, there will be a lot of trouble."

"Yeah, I know."

She had threatened Shen Xiaoxian a long time ago, and the head of the village only showed concern for him on the surface, but more importantly, he cared about his own reputation.

If what she did were to be made public, the village head might not believe it. Even if he did, he would not take him home to take care of him.

So it will eventually fall into her hands, and then it won't be as easy as it is now.

At this time, Shen Xiaoxian was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and he no longer had the arrogance he once had.

In the evening, when it was time to cook, several people said goodbye and went home.

Lan Qiuhua killed the fish and chopped it into two pieces: "Xiaoya, give some of the fish and rabbit meat to your sister-in-law."

"coming."

Shen Suya came out of the house, looked at the cut fish and rabbit meat in the basin, and asked puzzledly.

"Mom, you cooked the fish and rabbit meat."

"It's hot, if I don't cook it, it might go bad. You've been craving for meat for a long time, so I'll let you eat as much as you want tonight."

The fish and rabbits that Liu Dali brought were so fat and big that the mother and daughter could not finish them in one meal.

"Okay, I'll take it to my sister-in-law and come back to light the fire later."

He happily ran up the mountain carrying the basin.

"Sister-in-law, your family hasn't prepared the meal yet."

"No." Ji Wenhe was kneading dough and saw her bringing in meat and fish.

"That's perfect, you can cook it tonight."

"Xiaoya, take it back. It's a gift from Aunt Xie to your family. We have meat at home."

"What belongs to your family is yours." Shen Suya found a clean wooden basin and poured the meat into it. "If you give it to our family, then we will decide."

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'm going back. Mother is waiting for me to light the fire."

After saying that, the person ran away.

Shen Wenshan lit the mugwort in the house, closed the door, and went to the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, what did Xiaoya bring?"

Ji Wenhe pointed to the wooden basin on the pot cover and said, "I gave you fish and rabbit meat."

"I don't know where Dali brother caught the big carp." I can cook a plate of it.

"You can either catch them yourself or buy them in town."

It was as long as the front half of her arm, so it was not easy to catch such a big fish.

"Sister-in-law, should we burn it later or tomorrow?"

"Leave one for tomorrow night. Which one do you want to cook first?"

Shen Wenshan looked at the fish and rabbit meat in the basin and hesitated for a moment: "Let's cook the fish and drink the fish soup."

"Okay, you light the fire and I'll cook."

I haven’t cooked for a long time, it’s a rare opportunity for me to show off my cooking skills.

The fish soup was ready. Ji Wenhe was washing the pot when he heard a noise in the yard: "Yuanshan, Brother Shen, are you back?"

The twins would shout every time they came back.

I didn't hear any shouting today. Could it be that Shen Rongshan came back first? That shouldn't be the case. They went out together.

"Yuanshan is in the back. We went to catch snails and came back a little late."

All of Shen Rongshan's clothes were soaked.

She covered the pot and glanced at the door: "Brother Shen, why are your clothes wet?"

"I accidentally slipped while catching snails and fell into the water."

He had a lot of yang energy and the weather was hot, so after walking all the way back, his clothes were almost dry.

"Then go change into clean clothes. Wearing wet clothes can easily make you sick."

Shen Rongshan rolled up his trouser legs and said, "It's okay. I'll take a shower after dinner."

"Sister-in-law, look, we caught a lot of snails." More than enough to make a casserole.

Shen Yuanshan came trotting up, shirtless, with snails in his clothes, and his clothes were all wet.

The two brothers sighed helplessly in their hearts.

Ji Wenhe turned around and scooped a basin of clean water and placed it on the ground: "You have been spitting out mud and sand all night, so you can cook it and eat it tomorrow night."

"By the way, Gu Yan and Liu Dali's marriage has been finalized. Aunt Xie said that there will be no wedding banquet and asked him to come and pick her up in three days."

"So fast." Shen Yuanshan was surprised. "How much betrothal gift did Dali give?"

"At first it was agreed to be three taels, but then it was raised to five taels. Aunt Lan went to negotiate, and finally it was three taels and eight."

He poured all the snails into the basin: "When discussing marriage, I hate it when the betrothal gift is agreed upon and then increased. Either ask for more from the beginning, or give as much as you can."

"If I encounter such a situation in the future, I will not marry her."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "What if you really like her and have chosen her? Would you not marry her just because of the betrothal gift?"

He shook his head: "I don't like people who don't keep their promises, like Aunt Xie. If the family is short of money or has problems in the future, I will definitely go to Brother Dali."

"I can help out financially occasionally, but I have to ask for money every time. Isn't it possible to make a living? It's not their money bag."

"That can't be said. The girl is a good girl, but her family is... a little weird."

Ji Wenhe thought for a moment and said.

"To be honest, if I meet someone who listens to his family in everything and has no ideas of his own, I might stop him."

"But if you are determined to marry me, I will not stop you. I will listen to your own opinions in the end."

"If the girl is clear-headed, I won't stop you, but if you meet a family like this, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

Shen Wenshan came to the courtyard and asked puzzledly: "Sister-in-law, what is Voldemort?"

"I just buy my brother whatever he wants, and all the money I earn goes to him."

"You are not as good to your own children as you are to your brother. You buy your brother what he wants regardless of the family situation. This is a brother-worshiping demon."

I met two of them in my previous life.
