Nongmen's elder sister-in-law is the richest in the world

Chapter 304

Shen's mother was coming out of the kitchen, and said with a smile when she heard the words: "Ah Wan is the cook tonight, and she has cooked a few dishes that she learned in the book. You should try them out later."

Hearing that Shen Jianwan was the chef, Shen Jie's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great, the dishes cooked by Mrs. Wantang are the best, especially her new dishes are always novel and delicious. Delicious, we big guys have a good time today."

Speaking of which, Shen Jie strongly praised Shen Jianwan's cooking skills to the people around him. After hearing this, everyone felt that the smell of the food was even more attractive, so the big guys rushed to help wash the dishes, Put food on the table.

There were 21 villagers who went to Mengjia Village this time, and four or five people who heard the news rushed to Shen's house to visit and then stayed to help cook. Including the two householders of Shen's house, there were more than 40 people.

There was no room for so many people to sit in the hall, so Shen Jianwan and the others set up five tables in the yard. Shen Jianwan and his family plus Shen Wan's mother and daughter filled one table, and Second Aunt Shen and the villagers sat together. The remaining four tables were filled.

The big guy was almost dumbfounded when he saw a big pot full of pure white rice, a string of sixteen dishes with all kinds of flavors, and even drinks.

Such a sumptuous meal is rare in their village even during Chinese New Year!
Seeing the Shen family entertaining them like this, everyone couldn't help being flattered, and felt Shen Jianwan and the others' sincerity even more, and the atmosphere couldn't help but become more harmonious for a while.

During the period, Shen Jie, who is good at communication, was active in the atmosphere, and the meal became even more lively after eating.

And because of Shen Jianwan's reminder, during the meal, the Shen family members revealed intentionally or unintentionally that Shen Wan's mother and daughter would settle down in the village in the future, which was a vaccination for everyone.

Everyone had expected that Shen Wanhe would go back to her mother's house to live after she left, and now it is not too surprising to hear that they will settle down in the village.

And Shen Jianwan had expected this, but he still had to say hello.

Next, they also hoped that when you go back, if someone asks about the reason for Shen Wan's reconciliation, they can tell the villagers about today's situation, so that everyone can know that the reason for Shen Wan's reunion is not the fault of Shen Wan's mother and daughter.

The reason why I told everyone this is that Shen Jianwan wanted to act first before other rumors spread about why Shen Wan returned to Ning in the village, so that she was returned home with Li, and that the fault was in the Meng family first. up.

There is no way, although their Dahe Dynasty has been more tolerant of women's demands, but it is still not honorable for a woman to return to Ning, so they must present the facts before those who want to smear Shen Wan, so that they can treat the matter of He Li to Shen Wan impact is minimized.

As long as this first step is taken firmly, Shen Jianwan will have a way to give Shen Wan a place in the village in the future.

Speaking of which, the only ones who were able to go to Mengjia Village with the Shen family this time were Second Master Shen, Fourth Master Shen and Fifth Master Shen, who were closest relatives to the Shen family in the village.

The rest were Second Aunt Yang's family, Mrs. Chen and her husband Zhang Youyin who had been friends with Second Aunt Shen. In addition, the adults of the He family who were at home at the time, even Zhu Zi, went to Meng's house with Shitou.

These people are either related to the Shen family, or they have always been friends with the Shen family, so when they heard what Shen Jianwan and the others meant, they all nodded and agreed without hesitation, and even said that they had to go out to promote Meng The actions of the family cannot make Shen Wan's mother and daughter be misunderstood after being bullied and returning to her natal village.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Shen Jianwan and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and then expressed their gratitude and thanks to everyone.

After a dinner, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and it took more than half an hour to finish when the sky was getting dark.

In the end, when everyone left, Shen Jianwan gave everyone the thank you gifts that she packed while shopping in the afternoon.

Shen Jianwan prepared the same thank you gifts, everyone who went to Mengjia Village, whether adults or children, would send ten catties of polished rice, three catties of sugar and two packets of snacks.

As for Mrs. He who came to the house to help cook later, because Shen Jianwan didn't know that they would come, she didn't prepare their thank you gifts, but she had extra polished rice and sugar at home, so she made up for it with homemade ones, and then there was no dessert. I added a few leftover fritters for them today.

Seeing such a sumptuous dinner and so many thank you gifts, everyone couldn't help but feel very embarrassed, and immediately refused.

However, compared to everyone's refusal, Shen Jianwan and the others were more sincere. Under their sincere words, Aunt Yang led the crowd to accept the gift and said that they would definitely explain Shen to the people around them when they went back. Why Wan and Li Guining, never let the uninformed talk nonsense.

Sending away everyone, Second Aunt Shen and the others, Shen saw that it was still early in the evening and said to Shen Wan: "Sister, Ah Wan is going to go to the village head's house right now to send your book and Li Shu, and let the village head give it to you tomorrow." Get the town yamen archives.

In addition, I want to ask if you want to put your and Da Ya’s household registration at home, or if you want to set up another female household, if you decide to do it together this time. "

They were able to set up female households for women who were retired or unmarried, and female households were no different from ordinary household registrations. Only for conscription, if there were no males in the family, they could even use less silver instead.

It can be said that the various laws on women made by Empress Xiaowen were still very helpful to women.

And having a female household means that Shen Wan and the others are also a family in Qinghe Village, not just married women who live in their natal family. people pointing.

Mother Shen and the others were surprised to hear that Shen Jianwan was going to the village chief's house so late.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Mother Shen couldn't help persuading: "Ah Wan, it's getting dark outside, we'd better go tomorrow."

"That's right, anyway, we're going to sell pancakes and fried dough sticks in the town tomorrow, so let's go to the town yamen and do it." Shen Min agreed.

The rest of Shen Dong, Shi Shi and Shen Wan also followed suit.

But Shen Jianwan shook his head, "No, we can't handle this matter, we have to ask the village chief to do it."

"Why, sister-in-law, don't you also have a post where you can go directly to the yamen to do business?" Shen Min was puzzled.

In the Yamato Dynasty, although everyone could go to the yamen to handle affairs, it would be much smoother for ordinary people with official titles and village chiefs to handle affairs by posting their posts.Therefore, under normal circumstances, when the common people go to the yamen and other places to do business, they will ask the village head or someone with a reputation to help or accompany them.

This is why people with public office and fame like village chiefs are so respected by everyone.
