Chapter 6

Shen Wu thought to herself that she was just saying it casually, not seriously.

Obviously, the man took it seriously, his eyes softened slightly for a moment.

“From now on, I’ll give you my eggs.”

Lu Xuan looked at the small person in front of him, since she was already married to him, he couldn’t let her starve.

He still looked the same, unsmiling, even with a cold and intimidating expression, but his words were sincere.

How to say it.

Shen Wu, who had never had much affection, only had a physical attraction to him, at this moment, she actually felt a little guilty.

But it was only a second of guilt.

“I feel sorry for you.” Shen Wu looked at the man in front of her, her eyes were misty, and there was a hint of grievance in them.

Lu Xuan couldn’t describe what flowed through his heart, but he inexplicably felt comfortable all over.

He didn’t notice that Shen Wu said she felt sorry for him, but she didn’t say that she didn’t want the egg.

People in the book were generally not full, meat was rare, being able to eat eggs was the best source of nutrition, between this man eating it or her eating it, Shen Wu didn’t need to make a choice.

But ultimately, she still had to find a way to make money, she didn’t want to be rich, but at least she had to eat enough.

There was a sound of gongs outside.

“Time to work!”

Lu Xuan came back to his senses and looked at the person in front of him: “Stay home and rest, I’ll go to work.”

With that, the man strode out.

Shen Wu hadn’t figured out how many people there were in the family, how many children there were, she only knew that those over five years old went to work, and there were two children, one one year old and one three years old, the women in the family, besides Old Mrs. Lu, didn’t go, and she and Xu Yin had just arrived, they weren’t familiar with the place and didn’t go, and the eldest sister-in-law, whose belly was very high, didn’t go either.

Shen Wu and Xu Yin still had to maintain their “disagreement”, they met each other and were cold and indifferent.

She had nothing to do, so she went to play with the children.

Old Mrs. Lu couldn’t stand the people in her family not working: “Go, wash their clothes.”

“Go boil some mung bean water, send it to the field later.”

“The eldest son’s wife, go…”

Before Old Mrs. Lu finished speaking, Li Ping grabbed her stomach: “Oh, mother, my stomach hurts, I can’t, I have to go lie down in the room.”

She said as she grabbed her stomach and left.

“Pretending!”

“They’re all lazy pigs.”

Old Mrs. Lu muttered two sentences, her gaze fell on Shen Wu and Xu Yin.

Shen Wu didn’t refuse, she smiled sweetly: “Mother, I just got married, I’m not familiar with our village yet, so I’ll boil some mung bean water and send it to the third brother later, mother, you can also drink some, it will relieve the heat.”

Old Mrs. Lu had been feeling uncomfortable all morning because of her, now she heard her say this, she felt a little strange, even a little surprised.

Old Mrs. Lu got up and went into the kitchen, she took some mung beans from the locked cabinet, and hesitated for a moment before taking out a little bit of rock sugar.

Shen Wu watched the pitiful amount of sugar: “Mother, if you’re going to put sugar in, put more, if you’re not going to put it in, don’t put it in, otherwise, you’re wasting the sugar, and you won’t taste it.”

Old Mrs. Lu looked at Shen Wu again.

Shen Wu was smiling, her eyes were full of sincerity.

“Really?”

Shen Wu: “Of course it’s true, put more in, the people in the family will be grateful to mother.”

While she was talking, Shen Wu had already taken a few more pieces of sugar herself.

“It’s hot in the kitchen, mother, go out and cool off.”

Before Old Mrs. Lu could react, she was pushed out of the kitchen, she turned her head and saw Shen Wu holding a small bowl of rock sugar.

She felt regret and confusion at the same time, how did she fall for her spell?

It was all because of that face.

Old Mrs. Lu muttered, “Fox spirit!”

Xu Yin naturally followed Shen Wu, the two of them were more at ease together in this strange place, in this strange era.

She watched Shen Wu’s movements.

“Are you really going to make them mung bean water?”

Shen Wu looked at the weather outside, it was too hot, she looked at Xu Yin again: “We can’t go back for a while, we can’t do business either, we haven’t found a way out yet, we can’t offend everyone.”

At least she had to give them a slap and a sweet date.

She didn’t have any money on her, and she couldn’t go back to her own home, Xu Yin fell silent for a moment, she thought Shen Wu was right.

She looked at the earthen stove that had been extinguished.

“I’ll go call the old lady to light the fire.”

The old lady’s words were not nice, Xu Yin also had a bad temper, Shen Wu thought that for the sake of peace, it was better for her to go, she was afraid that Xu Yin would accidentally hit the old lady.

Shen Wu went out to find Old Mrs. Lu and told her that she couldn’t light a fire.

Old Mrs. Lu muttered: “How did your mother teach you? You don’t even know how to light a fire.”

“This is your marriage into my family, I’m a kind person, if you married into someone else’s family, wouldn’t they have kicked you out?”

Shen Wu: “I don’t know, I haven’t married into anyone else’s family, why don’t we try it first?”

Old Mrs. Lu…

After Shen Wu finished speaking, she smiled: “Mother, I’ve heard of your great name in our village, if you weren’t good, my mother wouldn’t have married me off.”

Old Mrs. Lu was still feeling blocked in her heart, but now she heard her say this.

“You really heard of me?”

Shen Wu: “Of course!”

She heard of her.

Unfortunately, it was a bad reputation, she was known for being the best at scolding people, and she was unreasonable.

Otherwise, Lu Xuan wouldn’t be twenty-two years old, so handsome and still unmarried, you know, people generally marry early, especially in the village.

The original owner could marry him, it was purely because of the high dowry, her younger brother was also waiting to marry a wife, to put it bluntly, she was sold for her son.

But the original owner was willing, she also thought it was quite suitable, she didn’t hesitate to help her family in the book, but in the end, when she was down and out, her family always had various reasons to ignore her.

Shen Wu didn’t take the original owner’s memories to heart.

Old Mrs. Lu thought it was a good reputation, she was full of glory: “That’s right, no one in ten miles doesn’t know me, I gave birth to seven sons!”

Shen Wu gave her a thumbs up: “You’re amazing!”

This was really amazing, she didn’t refute, she gave birth to seven children, no, including the married eldest daughter, a total of eight, eight, she didn’t even dare to think about it.

Shen Wu “praised” her with such a beautiful face, Old Mrs. Lu was extremely proud, she walked with her head held high.

Old Mrs. Lu lit the fire.

Shen Wu was very supportive: “Mother, you’re amazing, we’ve been studying it for a long time, and we haven’t been able to do it.”

“That’s right, don’t look at who I am, everyone in ten miles knows me, you two are blessed to marry into our family, our family has the best life, others can’t compare…”

Shen Wu watched, Xu Yin was already getting impatient.

She smiled at Old Mrs. Lu: “Mother, I heard that our family has a good life, we’re rich, no one in ten miles has a better life than us, can you just give me two hundred yuan, to make me happy.”

Old Mrs. Lu was listening happily, but she felt something was wrong when she heard the last part, she turned her head and looked at Shen Wu in astonishment—
