Wang Shuzhen woke up and went to her daughter's room next door, only to find that the quilt was neatly folded and the person was long gone.

This kid must have gone to the fire room.

As soon as she raised her foot to look for her daughter, she was stopped by Qing Gu who was walking quickly.

"Madam! The old lady invites you."

Main courtyard.

Mrs. Wang put a list in front of her daughter: "This is your dowry list, and it will also be Jiaojiao'er's dowry in the future. I didn't give it to you before because I was afraid that you would end up subsidizing it all into the bottomless pit of the Xue family."

"Mom! I'm sorry, my daughter has given you chills."

Thinking of her past actions, Wang Shuzhen's eyes turned red again.

"Okay, okay, don't cry all the time, you are such a big person."

Mrs. Wang said she was disgusted, but she picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped her daughter's tears.

"These things are stored in the warehouse in your yard. You have to take good care of them and don't give them to the Xue family when you are mad."

This dowry list was prepared fourteen years ago, but because Xue didn't want to get married, this damn girl also had a falling out with her father and ran away.

Later, they sent people to Xuejia Village many times to send money and goods, but this damn girl actually gave them to the Xue family.

"Mom, don't worry, my daughter won't be stupid."

Wang Shuzhen took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness in her eyes and promised.

"Well! Jiao Jiao'er is a good person, but she has to get married anyway. You can't stay with her forever, and your father and I can't protect you until you grow old.

In the end, you have to rely on your eldest brother, so you need to have a good relationship with your sister-in-law to prevent your eldest brother from being caught in the middle."

Although her daughter-in-law has a gentle temperament, she has deliberately avoided topics related to her daughter since she ran away with Xue.

It is not difficult to see that she has opinions about her daughter.

There is an aunt like her in the family who ran away with someone else. This may have an impact on the reputation of the nieces. My sister-in-law must hate her to death.

Wang Shuzhen bit her lip, smiled bitterly and put her head on my mother's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Mom! I know everything."

"well!"

Mrs. Wang put her arms around her daughter's thin shoulders: "Tomorrow your eldest brother's family and your second uncle's family will come back. Then you should admit your mistake and don't just cry."

"Well! I will definitely admit my mistake."

The mother and daughter were leaning together and chatting, when the women's shouts came from outside the house.

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, I heard that Shuzhen is back?"

Wang Shuzhen heard this familiar voice and hurriedly raised her head from her mother's shoulder.

"Mom! The third...the third aunt and the others are here."

"Why are you panicking?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at the dowry list placed on the low table: "Put the list away."

"okay."

Just when Wang Shuzhen was busy folding the dowry list and putting it into her sleeve pocket.

Several old women in their fifties and sixties rushed in with a cheer.

…

Inside the fire room.

A big pot of fat, white dumplings all turned over and floated.

"The dumplings are cooked, start the pot quickly."

"Oh! Okay!"

Everyone was in a hurry, some were holding bowls, some were picking up spoons.

quickly.

A big pot of dumplings is ready.

Looking at a row of nine large bowls of dumplings, Xue Zijin only planned to take four bowls out, leaving the rest for the cooks to taste.

But before she could open her mouth, Qinggu came.

"Cousin! Some of the collateral matrons from the clan are here. The old lady wants you to go out and meet them."

Relatives are coming.

Xue Zijin blinked and looked at his flour-stained clothes: "Then I'll go back and change my clothes."

As she said this, she started to leave, but when she thought of the dumplings that had just come out of the pot, she paused again: "Qinggu! How many are here?"

Qinggu thought she was preparing a gift, so she smiled and replied, "All the five old ladies from the side clan are here."

That’s it!

The nine bowls of dumplings she had were just right, but there weren't many aunties here.

Xue Zijin walked to the stove and said apologetically to the cooks: "I'm sorry! I can't treat you to dumplings today, but I'll be back tomorrow. I'll make more then, so you can all taste them.

."

"Hey! What's the point! We're not greedy."

"Yes! It's more important to entertain guests. We are not greedy."

The cooks all said they were not greedy, but their eyes kept glancing at the fat and white dumplings.

After Xue Zijin and Hong Xiu left, nine bowls of dumplings were also brought to the front hall.

"Old madam, my cousin's dumplings are here."

After the cooks brought several bowls of fat and white dumplings to the low table in the side hall, Qinggu quickly walked behind her old lady, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Yes! Have you sent the old man's?"

"Sent."

Master Lang is working in the study room in the west wing. I’m afraid everyone has already eaten by now!

"Go and see Jiao Jiao'er and let her dress up nicely."

snort!

Even if her granddaughter is thinner, she is still better-looking than the granddaughters of her family.

"Wei! No need for this old slave."

Qing Gu understood, agreed, took a few steps back, then turned around and quickly walked out of the hall.

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and said to a few old ladies who were still chattering: "You are in luck today. My Jiaojiao'er has just made dumplings. Come with me to the side hall to eat!"

dumpling?

How could that poor girl from the Xue family do such expensive food?

Several women dressed in noble clothes looked at each other with disdain in their eyes.

There are four major families in Taiyuan: Wang, Liu, Li, and Wen. In the past, the Wang family was the most prestigious.

But since Wang Shuzhen and Xue Erlang ran away, the entire Wang family always felt like a dwarf in front of the other three major families in Taiyuan.

As soon as they heard that that dead girl Wang Shuzhen was back, they invited each other to come and see how the dead girl who had cut off her family ties for a man was doing now.

But after seeing Wang Shuzhen, who was as thin as a refugee, she couldn't say any harsh words.

Don’t say this!

I always feel a tightness in my chest.

Ever since.

The old ladies from these branches began to show off their daughters and granddaughters.

Secretly, he reduced Xue Zijin, who lived in the poor mountains and ravines, to nothing.

But Mrs. Wang was very angry!

Several people sat down in the side hall.

After seeing the plump and white dumplings in the bowl, Mrs. Wang's depression was relieved a lot.

The third lady from the second room of the branch glanced at the dumplings in the bowl in front of her, curled her lips and said indifferently: "These dumplings are made well, but with this craftsmanship, it doesn't look like they were made by a girl who grew up in the countryside.

ah!"

"The second sister-in-law is right." The fourth wife of the third room immediately agreed: "That girl is fourteen years old. I'm afraid she has never even seen dumplings. How can she make such beautiful dumplings?"

Someone took the lead, and the other three old ladies followed suit.

"Alas! Even if the Xue family girl cooks a bowl of wheat rice herself, it is better than asking the cook to cook it and pretending to be her own credit!"
