Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Wu secretly gave her father five taels of silver. Her second brother was not young anymore, and if this marriage went through, her father wouldn't have to worry about his marriage anymore.

In addition, Wu gave one or two taels of silver to each of her brother and sister-in-law, and also gave a red envelope to her nephew.

Now everyone in the village knows that her mother-in-law is Mrs. Yu, and they also become polite to her family.

Because his mother-in-law successfully prayed for rain from heaven and led everyone to find grain seeds, otherwise everyone might have fled the famine by now.

For this, everyone was very grateful to Shen Ping. Some even took things and gave them to Wu, asking her to pass them on to their mother-in-law.

Wu refused and asked them to take them back, saying that she would tell her mother-in-law about it and thank them for their kindness.

After dinner, Mrs. Wu wanted to stay a little longer and chat with her old father, but her son Xiaohai kept crying, so she had to come back early.

Seeing that all the children had returned, Mrs. Mo took the opportunity to distribute the red envelopes to the children. Before coming, she had carefully counted how many children there were in the Zhang family.

Considering that his daughter had lived in the Zhang family for so long, the red envelopes certainly couldn't be too small. Each red envelope contained two cents of silver.

Butler Shi had also prepared some, but the red envelopes were not as big as the ones Mrs. Mo gave. Each one contained only 20 coins.

Hong Gu thought that the lady would be back soon, and the guest would be in a hurry to go back soon, so she prepared dinner in advance.

Around five o'clock in the evening, Shen Ping finally came back. Knowing that Mr. Mo and Steward Shi had waited for her for so long, she felt a little sorry and quickly said a few more polite words.

Hong Gu came up to arrange dinner at this time, which made her feel relieved. Shen Ping smiled and said, "Come on! Let's have dinner first and chat while we eat!

The two wanted to refuse, but Shen Ping said that it would be dark by the time they got back halfway, so there was no need to waste some time, so they asked them to eat before going back.

Mr. Mo thought about it and it made sense. Anyway, the meal was ready, so they could have a good chat at the table.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Mo toasted Shen Ping again, thanking her for taking care of her daughter during this period.

Shen Ping pretended to be angry: "Why thank me! Although she is your daughter, she is also my goddaughter. It is my duty to take care of her!"

Then Shen Ping also assured them that this was also Mo Ru's home, and she could stay as long as she liked. Besides, there were many children in her own family, so it was lively and everyone would have company.

Mr. Mo nodded, suppressed his excitement, raised his glass and said: "Let's not waste any more time on nice things. Come on! Madam Shen, I'll toast you a glass. I'll drink it first as a sign of respect!" As he said that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Ping also sipped her wine glass, then raised her hand and said with a smile: "Come on! Let's not be polite and eat!"

With Mr. Mo and his wife present, Butler Shi wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell Shen Ping about Si Ya, but he never found one.

Seeing that they would have to leave after dinner, Butler Shi thought about it and couldn't help but speak.

"Cough cough..."

Butler Shi cleared his throat and said, "Madam Shen, Shi San'er and I came here today not only to wish you a happy new year, but also to tell you something."

I came here today to propose marriage for Shi Saner. To be honest, Shi Saner has always had feelings for Si Ya, but he is not good at speaking, so I am here to speak for him."

Si Ya was sitting at the next table. After hearing what Shi Zhong said, her face immediately turned red. Mo Ru also looked at her jokingly: "Si Ya, what do you think? Tell Sister Ru!"

When Si Ya looked up, she met Shi San'er's eager eyes and said angrily, "You are so stupid!"

Just by looking at her eyes and tone, you can tell that this girl is obviously interested in Shi Saner as well.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so straightforward, Shen Ping smiled and said, "Butler Shi, now they both run a shop together, I don't know what the situation is between these two people.

I still have to see what Si Ya has to say. If he really likes Shi San Er, I won’t interfere. I’ve said before that the most important thing is that Si Ya likes him herself.”

Dong was anxious when she saw this, thinking that Madam Shen had forgotten what she had said. She immediately winked at Shen Ping and said, "Madam Shen, please don't forget what I told you two days ago."

Hearing her say this, Shen Ping opened her eyes wide and suddenly realized, "Oh! I really forgot! But Madam Xu, you haven't met your nephew yet, so it's hard to say.

You don’t know, some time ago, Madam Yan from Fushou Hall also came to propose marriage for Doctor Yan’s apprentice Feng Da, and coincidentally, Feng Da also fell in love with Si Ya, and I was worried too!”

Shi Saner became anxious when he heard this. He had heard from his second uncle that he had originally thought that there was only Feng Da, but now Madam Xu's nephew suddenly appeared.

"Hey, Si Ya, look so many people are rushing to propose to you, what do you think this time?" Mo Ru said with a joking smile.

Si Ya also started to worry. She didn't know what to think. Her mother had mentioned Feng Da's matter to her. But she didn't seem to have any feelings for Feng Da. She had nothing to say to him.

As for Mrs. Xu's nephew, I heard that he is a student and will take the examination for a scholar next year. Nowadays, people with knowledge are the so-called upper class.

Nowadays, for a girl to go out and do business in public is considered low-class, and these two people can't say anything. Besides, if the other party is too literary, she may not like him.

This Shi Saner looks fierce, but he is nice to me. I feel comfortable and at ease when I am with him. I didn't realize it before.

Ever since they opened the shop together, Si Ya discovered that they actually had a tacit understanding and he understood everything she said.

And from what he said, he was not a bondservant, and as for his second uncle, he treated him like a son, and Shi Saner would only have to take care of him in his old age.

"Si Ya, mother wants to hear what you think?" Shen Ping looked at Si Ya seriously.

In fact, she already knew the answer in her heart, but with so many people present, Shen Ping still wanted to hear Si Ya give a definite answer.

After hearing Shen Ping's question, everyone's eyes were fixed on Si Ya, and her face turned even redder.

Erya squeezed Siya's hand and looked at her encouragingly: "Siya, what are you thinking? Tell me."

Si Ya looked at Er Ya, then at Shen Ping, and suddenly had an idea. She raised her head and looked at Shen Ping with sparkling eyes: "Mom, my second sister hasn't married yet, I'm still young, I will get married after my second sister's affairs are settled."

"You...you girl!" Erya's face turned red. She was talking about him, but she didn't expect that he would bring up her own affairs again. Erya was suddenly speechless.

Unexpectedly, Si Ya changed the subject and did not give a definite answer. Shi Saner could not help but feel deflated.

But on second thought, she didn't refuse, which was a good thing. Besides, he and she opened a shop and were together day and night, so there were plenty of opportunities. Thinking of this, Shi Saner laughed again.
