Aunt Wu blushed. It was the first time someone praised her like that. She laughed like a hen laying eggs. "I'm so embarrassed. I've always been reasonable. Although I like to gossip, I never slander anyone. I only say things that are fair and reasonable."
"Yes, yes. You're the moral role model of our village. You'll supervise me from now on to see if I'll abuse the children."
"That's fine too. If you're really a good stepmother, I'll help you scold anyone who scolds you in the future."
"Oh, then you're really my aunt. I'll give you gifts during festivals. We're real relatives."
Shen Nanzhi held her hand and coaxed Aunt Wu so much that she smiled so happily that she almost floated to the sky. Her dark and plump face also looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Thinking about it, Shen Nanzhi started out as a salesperson in her previous life and worked her way up to become the top seller. Later, she started her own business and built her own business empire. So, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her to fool a few aunties in the village?
Lin Xueqing was dumbfounded. How did it become like this?
Shen Nanzhi smiled and snatched the plate from her hand, "Miss Lin also sent my husband some pies. I couldn't refuse such kindness, so I accepted it for him. In this day and age, no one has enough food. You have so many mouths to feed, but you still remember my husband. I'm so touched. I thank you on behalf of my husband."
Lin Xueqing's eyes were filled with tears, as if Shen Nanzhi had bullied her. Shen Nanzhi looked even more innocent: "Isn't this something you gave me? Why are you still crying? Are you reluctant to let me eat it? You only allow your 'brother' Jiang to eat it?"
"You, you slandered me?"
"Hey, did I force you to bring food to my husband? You're really wronging me. Everyone, please judge for yourself. Where did I go wrong?"
Everyone looked at her unfriendlyly. Lin Xueqing didn't dare to stay any longer and ran back to her home, covering her face.
Shen Nanzhi curled her lips and said, "You green tea girl, if you fight with me, I will kill you."
She grabbed the pie and took a bite. "Damn, it was so disgusting."
"Jiang Xun, use the water in the back to feed the pigs. The pigs are tired after running out today, so you need to fatten them up."
"Ah, such a good pie to feed to pigs?"
"The wild vegetables are fresh, but they lack oil, and the biscuits are dry and hard to chew. I have the nerve to give such cooking skills to others. Maybe my pigs won't even eat them."
As a result, Lin Xueqing gained a reputation for being a poor cook. Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi's pig ate the pie; otherwise, Lin Xueqing would have been ridiculed for a whole year.
"Thank you for caring about me, fellow villagers. Come to my house for a cup of tea."
"No, I'm busy at home. Let's do it another day. You take good care of the children. They are all good children and will definitely be filial to you in the future."
"Okay, I know."
As soon as Shen Nanzhi and the others left, her smile disappeared. She was afraid that she would end up being too filial if she expected them to be filial.
The children looked at her nervously and immediately said, "Mom, let's go to work."
"Well, work hard. If you don't work, you won't have food to eat."
Jiang Chen didn't dare to say anything. Shen Nanzhi didn't even look at him and went straight back to the house, which made Jiang Chen a little uncomfortable.
It was obvious that she was obsessed with me before, and would be happy for a long time when I gave her a good face. Why is she so cold now?
Jiang Xun pulled him aside and said, "My brother let the pig out of the backyard and knocked her down. She hit her head and got angry."
Jiang Chen suddenly realized, so that's it.
