Chapter 213
"Silly girl, it's actually not hard at all. Don't bite so hard, put it between your teeth, just tap it lightly. The strength must be mastered. Mom will show you, just like this!"

Zhang Shi smiled faintly, while slowing down, kowtowed to show Su Qingwan, while instructing her, "Yes, that's it!"

"Ah, really! It really won't be chewy like this. I didn't expect to learn something by cracking melon seeds! Hehe."

Completely ignoring Aunt Zhu's loud wailing, Su Qingwan turned around, took out a few large mountain goods from the burlap bag, and put them on the wooden table.

He greeted with a smile, "By the way, mother, I picked these from Damao Mountain. They are delicious. Try this!"

Turning around, I saw that Su Qingwan's mother and daughter thought they were air, sitting up leisurely, eating tea and snacks, the mother and daughter were in a harmonious atmosphere, Aunt Zhu's face turned black with anger, and she almost vomited old blood!

Her throat was dry from howling, and she began to hum weakly, pulling the tune one by one.

However, no one came to persuade them with a single word, and even a group of gossip women outside the yard gradually dispersed after watching them for a long time and feeling bored.

Laundry that should go back to do the laundry, nursing the baby, serving the elderly, there are a lot of things waiting to be done in every family. Other people’s bustle, just watch it, it’s nothing to do, not many people are willing Go to persuade, especially this Aunt Zhu, who is not very popular in the village. Seeing that there is no audience, Aunt Zhu is dumbfounded. How can this play be performed?
"Is that enough? If the howling throat is dry, I have water here!"

Sneering a few times, Su Qingwan walked over, calmly lifted the kettle off the small stove, poured a bowl of steaming boiling water, and put it on the washstand in the yard.

Seeing that someone finally responded, Aunt Zhu regained her spirits, turned over from the ground and said hoarsely, "It's not enough!"

"How are you doing? Everyone has gone home! If you still want to scold, why not sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to moisten your throat before continuing."

Su Qingwan glanced at her ironically, and said calmly.

"You...you..."

Poking Su Qingwan's finger, trembling with anger, Aunt Zhu's old face was flushed, she felt a bad breath stuck in her heart, she was speechless for a while.

"Okay, old sister, why are you bothering! It's not that the girl doesn't want to help you, but it's not easy for her to earn some money. Fifty taels is not a small sum, and you can't afford any collateral."

Seeing that it was almost done, Mrs. Zhang came out to smooth things over, dragged Aunt Zhu over, took her palm, and persuaded her.

"For today's matter, you'd better think of a way. Don't make a fuss here. This matter is for my sake. Let's rest, huh?"

"no way!"

With a wave of his hand, he opened Zhang's hand heavily.

Aunt Zhu said angrily, "Old girl, you have vented your anger with your daughter today! You forgot that you promised to help me, you forgot that I helped you take care of these two children in the past? Now that they have grown up, you Turn your face and deny people, I should have seen that you are heartless! I was blind to recognize you as an old girl!"

"Old sister, it doesn't make sense for you to say that."

Seeing Mrs. Zhu turn her face, Zhang's indifferent face gradually cooled down.

He turned his face away coldly and said, "Although I, Mrs. Zhang, don't like to care about, it doesn't mean I don't know how to settle accounts. I'm afraid you know better than others how I have treated you these years. Now you say that about me, what is it? Who has no conscience?"

"That's right, Qingwan and Jingshan, thanks to you helping me and raising my two children up, but most of the money I spent doing embroidery at that time went into your pocket and supplemented your family. I, Zhang Cuilan, Did you say there is a word "no?"

When Aunt Zhu saw that the always taciturn Mrs. Zhang suddenly brought up old accounts, she felt a little guilty, her face was embarrassing, and she didn't speak.

"Let's not talk about the far ones, let's talk about the near ones. A few years ago, your son Da Mao was going to marry a wife. The ten taels of silver to buy a daughter-in-law from Gejiagou, you said you had no money at home, so you asked for it at my door. I, Zhang Cuilan, did it for you, right?"

"Also, when you married your daughter two years ago, for the sake of looking good, you subsidized five liang of dowry, and you begged me, Zhang Cuilan, to pay it for you, right? You know, I originally saved the money for Qingwan and her The dowry money, I'm going to wait for her to marry in the future, and I took it with her, but I scraped off a lot of it for you, and you haven't even mentioned it in these years!"

Looking at Aunt Zhu coldly, Mrs. Zhang frowned slightly, and snorted, "Now you haven't paid back a single copper for those silver coins, but you have come up with the idea of ​​Qing Wan, how can you make me feel like a mother? Sister, I only thought that human hearts are made of flesh, but I never thought of your heart, but it is harder than the stone in the latrine!"

"Cough... this..."

After being choked up by Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhu was speechless immediately, her face was black and blue, and she wanted to refute, but everything Zhang said was true, and it was an ironclad matter. There is no way to argue.

After a while, he said, "Then, then you should give it to me! I, Aunt Zhu, helped you take care of the children all those years, and it should have been a lot of hard work! Now I'm fussing over me."

Aunt Zhu didn't expect that this seemingly docile and quiet Zhang Shi had written a book, and she remembered it clearly in her heart. Although her mouth is hard now, she has no confidence in her heart.

Moreover, she has indeed defrauded Zhang's a lot of money over the years by using various names. In fact, her son only spent five taels of silver to buy his daughter-in-law, and the other five taels went into her purse. The dowry for her daughter's golden flower was actually only 2 taels, and the other 3 taels were naturally spent by her. The Zhang family didn't know it at all, and if they knew, they might have trouble with her.

"I'm not fussing with you, it's nothing more than the money, I never wanted to get it back from you."

After waving his hand, Zhang shook his head and sighed, "I just want you to understand that to be a man, you must be content. If you are not good enough, just let it go."

"You mean that I, Aunt Zhu, are greedy? Greedy for your family's money?"

With a heavy snort, the two sparse eyebrows were tightly knit together.

Embarrassed, Aunt Zhu pointed at Su Qingwan's nose and said, "Well, you two, mother and son, are working together to bully my old lady! If you don't let me have a good life, you can't live a good life either!"

"It's not like that! If we can help you, we will definitely help you!"

Shaking her head, Mrs. Zhang walked up to Su Qingwan, spread her hands out in embarrassment, and said softly, "Girl, look at your aunt's house, it is indeed very dilapidated. Mother went to see it early in the morning. No, you can help me think about it, do you have any good ideas? If you can help some, try to help, after all, you and your brother were raised by Aunt Zhu, she is your elder."
