Chapter 14 Going to the county seat

Shen Shuyu got up early in the morning. She wanted to sleep in, but everyone in the family got up early. Shen Shuyu could hear everyone's voices even in a low voice, so she couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to.

After washing up, Shen Qiu came and sat at Shen Shuyu's door. As soon as she opened the door, Shen Qiu fell down along the door.

Shen Shuyu quickly supported her head and asked, "Why are you leaning against the door?"

Shen Qiu patted his butt and stood up, "It's comfortable to lean against the door."

Li Caixia had just come back from picking onions in the vegetable garden and said, "She is not leaning against the door for comfort. She is thinking about going to the supply and marketing cooperative. This girl doesn't dare to wake you up, so she can only wait at the door."

Shen Qiu chuckled, "Big sister, I'll get you some water to wash your face."

Shen Qiu moved quickly, took over Shen Shuyu's washbasin and filled it with water, and even wrung out the towel considerately, "Big sister, here you go."

No wonder Shen Shuyu likes this cousin, she is very good at dealing with things.

Shen Xue was washing her face nearby. Seeing Shen Qiu's attentive look, she looked down on her cousin. "Xiao Qiu, you are so nice to my elder sister. As soon as she comes, you always hang around her."

Shen Qiu said quickly, "My elder sister is nice to me, so I am happy to be around her."

Shen Xue: “…” What she meant was that she was not good enough and Shen Qiu was not happy to revolve around her as the second sister!

As soon as Shen Qiu raised her head, Shen Xue's smile disappeared. She didn't understand why. "Big sister, I didn't say anything wrong, why did Second sister change her expression?"

Shen Shuyu said calmly, "Don't worry about her!"

After breakfast, Old Lady Shen asked Shen Shuyu to come in and stuffed some money into her pocket. "Buy whatever you like. If you're hungry, go to the state-owned restaurant and have a good meal."

The third granddaughter also went with them, and Old Lady Shen stuffed some money into her pocket, "Take care of your eldest sister. If there are any packages, help her get them."

Her grandmother even offered to give her money and tickets for a trip to the county town. Shen Qiu was very happy. "Got it, grandmother. I will take good care of my elder sister."

Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu can both go to the county town, and Old Lady Shen even gives them money and tickets. Shen Xue feels uncomfortable. They are her granddaughters, so why can they go to the county town? She has to go to work?

Shen Xue walked up to Old Lady Shen, with a well-behaved face, "Grandma, I haven't been to the county town for a long time, and I want to go shopping too."

Old Mrs. Shen was annoyed, "Go, go, all of you go."

Old Mrs. Shen took two cents from her pocket and gave it to her, then went out to work with a hoe.

Shen Xue chased after her, "Grandma, you forgot to give me the ticket. I also want to buy a bottle of vanishing cream, and two cents is not enough." She wanted to go to the hospital to see Zhou Jingchen later, and two cents was enough for everything.

This time, Mrs. Shen didn't get angry, but Li Caixia was already furious. "What? You're still dissatisfied with 20 cents? You think 20 cents is easy to earn? You can't even earn 20 cents a day! And you still want to buy vanishing cream. Do you think you're a delicate lady in the city?"

In Li Caixia's opinion, two cents was already a lot. If it was used to buy food, it could buy more than a pound of cornmeal. Shen Xue still complained about it. She was too ungrateful.

The old lady also gave her daughter two cents, and her daughter was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Zhang Cuicui also felt that her niece was becoming more and more ignorant, and she even rejected the money she was given.

Shen Xue lowered her head, "Grandma, Second Aunt, I... my skin is sunburned, I just want to buy some facial cleansing."

Old Lady Shen snatched the two cents from Shen Xue's hand and said, "If you think the money is too little, give it back to me."

It was time to go to work soon, and Old Mrs. Shen had no time to pay attention to Shen Xue.

Liu Pandi also felt that his daughter was a little ungrateful, "You, you, the old lady gave you money, so you just take it, why do you think it's not enough?"

It would be great if she could give the money to her mother if she felt it was too little. She could buy twenty fruit candies with two cents. When she goes back to her mother's house to visit relatives, she can share them with her nephews and make her look so proud. But now, she has no money left.

Shen Xue obviously didn't expect the old lady to take the money back. Looking at her empty palms, it took her a while to react, "Mom, don't say anything."

The damn old woman was so biased. She gave Shen Qiuyu five dollars and a ticket, but she only had twenty cents left. After she said a few words, she was left with even twenty cents left.

Shen Xue feels a little regretful now. If she had known this earlier, she would not have said anything.

Shen Qiu glanced at her second sister without saying anything. She carried the backpack and pulled her eldest sister out.

Shen Xue thought about it and ran out.

Everyone was busy working to earn work points, and there were only two aunts and one auntie on the ox cart.

As soon as Shen Qiu got on the ox cart, he greeted his aunts and grandmothers, "Third Aunt, Aunt Li, Aunt Huang."

"Hey, Qiu girl, you guys are going to the county town too."

"There's no salt at home, so my grandma asked us to go buy some."

"Your grandma really loves you. She even lets you three sisters go together to buy salt." Aunt Li looked down on Old Lady Shen. She loved the girls instead of her grandson.

What's the point of loving a girl? She will have to get married when she reaches marriageable age, and then she will belong to another family.

Aunt Huang looked at the three sisters of the Shen family and said, "You three sisters are really beautiful, each one is more beautiful than the other."

Especially Shen Xue, who is not only well-behaved and sensible, but also good-looking. If she were to marry her second son...

Thinking of this, Aunt Huang held Shen Xue's hand affectionately and said, "Oh, your little hand is so white and tender, like tofu.

Xiaoxue, you are not young anymore, do you have any young man you like?

If not, look at your brother Dazhi, you two grew up together, as the city people say, this is called childhood sweethearts..."

Shen Xue forced a smile, "Aunt Huang, my grandma said I'm still young, so there's no rush."

Shen Xue withdrew her hand calmly, feeling extremely disgusted. She didn't know whether Aunt Huang washed her hands after going to the toilet. As for her second son, Shen Xue had never even looked at him straight in the eye, and Aunt Huang still wanted to bring them together. What a wishful thinking.

The person Shen Xue wanted to marry had to be at least a city dweller.

Along the way, no one talked to Shen Shuyu, and Shen Shuyu was happy and relaxed.

Shen Qiu was chatting happily with the old lady. When he got excited, he even slapped his thigh at the same tempo as the old lady. Shen Shuyu felt pain just by hearing the sound of the slap.

The ox cart drove to the county town, and several people got off the car. Shen Shuyu gave them money, and Shen Xue came over, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, "Sister, can you..."

"No." Shen Shuyu interrupted her before she finished speaking.

She looked at Shen Qiu again, "Xiao Qiu, my second sister forgot to bring money, can you give it to her for her?"

Shen Qiu pretended not to hear and ran away.

The second sister wanted her to pay, no way!

Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu walked away, and Shen Xue looked pitiful as if she was being bullied by her elder sister.

Aunt Huang felt sorry for her, "What's wrong with Shen Shuyu? She had money in her hand but she refused to pay for your car fare. She must have been spoiled by your grandparents. Xiaoxue, you too, you can't be too soft."

She is so soft-hearted. How can I marry her as a daughter-in-law and then go back to her parents' home without being able to bring back even a piece of meat?

"No, Aunt Huang, don't get me wrong. My elder sister and younger sister are so nice to me. They just...just..." Shen Xue racked her brains to find excuses for them, but couldn't think of any after thinking for a long time. She was very anxious.

"Okay, Auntie knows you are a good kid, and Shen Shuyu is too outrageous."

Aunt Li also felt that Shen Shuyu was not a decent person. She had never seen a girl who didn't work in the fields. Not working in the fields would be fine, but she didn't even do housework. She was spoiled and domineering. Which family would dare to marry a girl like this?
