Chapter 265 Adding Dishes
That’s right, that’s Yuanyuan’s stuff!
Everything suddenly became clear. No wonder Yuanyuan's hair was so messy. It turned out that these velvet flowers were snatched away violently.
"You are so young and you don't want to make progress. You have learned to bully the weak!" Shen Yan had just finished speaking when she had already grabbed Cui'er's throat with one hand and quickly took back Yuanyuan's velvet with the other hand. The pain made Cui'er's facial features twisted, but she couldn't resist because her throat was being strangled. The children around were all stunned when they saw this, and they were too frightened to move by this sudden scene.
Shen Yan did not really hurt Cui Er, and the moment she let go of her hand, she regained her freedom. However, Cui Er was not grateful, but cursed and hurled insults at Shen Yan, her words full of slander and curses against Shen Yan.
"You are the scourge of the Song family, an ominous person! It's not enough that you have harmed your husband, you also want to implicate us, and even the entire village to be buried with you! You are the legendary monster!" The word "monster" carries too much malice and prejudice. It is a word people use to describe those beautiful and dangerous women who can control others with their charm and will eventually drag everything around them into the abyss.
Shen Yan narrowed her eyes. Through Cui'er, she seemed to see the resentful faces of Song Yuanyi and Zhu. A child of such a young age could say such vicious words. What was hidden behind it was undoubtedly the lack of family education and misleading.
It seems that her uncle's family's hostility towards her is deeply rooted.
"Sister-in-law, she also stole my walnut bracelet." Yuanyuan grabbed Shen Yan's hand. Although her tears had not dried yet, there was no fear in her eyes. She looked directly at Cui'er, full of persistence and courage.
"Take it out!" Shen Yan's voice was as cold as ice in winter, piercingly cold.
Cui'er was about to refute, but suddenly found that she could not make any sound when she opened her mouth, and could only make silent shouts. Shen Yan gently took back the silver needle hidden in her sleeve, and faced Cui'er's frightened eyes with a smile of victory at the corner of her mouth. The smile seemed particularly warm and bright in the sun.
Cui'er felt as if her throat was blocked by a ball of thick cotton, and she could hardly squeeze out even the sound of crying. The tears in her eyes kept rolling down like a pearl necklace with a broken string. Her feet jumped unconsciously on the ground, and her hands scratched her neck randomly, trying to find a space to breathe.
Shen Yan's sharp eyes swept over the children around them. Her voice was as cold as the first gust of cold wind in the winter morning, piercing and indifferent: "How did your parents educate you? It doesn't matter if the education is not good, but..."
She gently took back Yuanyuan's walnut bracelet from Cui'er's shaking hands, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, forming a faint smile. But in Cui'er's frightened eyes, that smile was more frightening than the evil ghosts in the mountains, prompting her to turn around suddenly and run away desperately.
The other children seemed to have heard a silent command, and like frightened birds and animals, they scattered in all directions and ran towards their respective homes. Jin Zhu was hampered by his fat body and ran out of breath. Finally, he stumbled and fell to the ground, lying face down, like a tripped puppy.
Shen Yan's voice sounded again, with a hint of mystery and warning: "Jin Zhu, I heard that the Night Wanderer doesn't like chubby kids."
Jin Zhu struggled to stand up clumsily. He didn't dare look back to confirm. He just instinctively accelerated forward and continued running with all his strength.
It was only then that Shen Yan took Yuanyuan's hand, and the two of them set out on the journey home side by side.
"Sister-in-law, why did Cui'er suddenly stop talking?" Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes with curiosity. The sister-in-law's light movement just now seemed to have cast some incredible "magic", which made Cui'er quiet down instantly.
Shen Yan bent down, put her lips close to Yuanyuan's ear, and whispered a few words, which contained a gentle interpretation of the world of children. After listening, Yuanyuan's eyes widened, full of admiration and amazement for her sister-in-law. Medicine, in her heart, has become a magical and mysterious subject. Her eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, as if attracted by some unknown power. After a while, she was still immersed in her own thoughts and remained silent.
When she reached the door of her house, she looked down at the three eggs left in her hand, and said with a hint of grievance, "Sister-in-law, there are only these three eggs left."
"We had guests at home today, and my mother asked me to go to Aunt Wang's house to borrow some eggs for scrambling, but it turned out not to be enough." Yuanyuan said, her eyes filled with tears of guilt, as if they would burst out at the next moment.
"Don't worry, this is enough. Look what good things your sister-in-law brought back for you?" Shen Yan easily lifted the iron bucket beside her. Yuanyuan looked inside and saw that the bucket was full of transparent little shrimps swimming in the clear water. They were densely packed and full of vitality.
"Sister-in-law, how do I eat this?" Yuanyuan was confused. This kind of food was a completely unfamiliar experience for her. Would it taste good?
"After we go back, I'll make it for you and you'll know. However, your elder brother is allergic to the taste of seafood, so he may not be able to enjoy it this time, hehe!" Shen Yan said with a smile. Although Yuanyuan was a little disappointed, she also laughed foolishly with her sister-in-law, believing that she would prepare a special dish for her elder brother next time.
However, she secretly made a wish in her heart, hoping that a few shrimps could be left for her to raise, because these shrimps were so cute that people couldn't help but want to get close to them.
The visitors this time were very important. They were the president of Wanbo Academy, Chang Song, and the famous doctor in the prefecture, Mr. Bai Yi, who had successfully treated Yi Ge'er's leg disease. Since Zhao had reported Yunfeng's matter to the authorities, the magistrate immediately sent someone to inform President Chang when he heard that Song Yunfeng had a problem. Therefore, President Chang and Doctor Bai visited the Song family together.
Facing such a distinguished guest, Zhao naturally did not dare to slack off at all. Fortunately, Shen Yan had made some preparations in advance and the food stored at home was sufficient. Zhao was busy in the kitchen, sweating profusely, working hard to prepare the dinner.
Shen Yan simply treated the snake bites she had suffered outside. She didn't have time to change her clothes. She just hurriedly washed the dirt off her feet and hurried to the kitchen to help.
Two dishes were already on the table: a plate of delicious fried shredded pork and radish, and a plate of refreshing and appetizing cold-mixed eggplant. However, Zhao's cooking skills were mediocre after all, and the dishes tasted a little bland.
When Zhao saw Shen Yan coming in, she quickly suggested, "Yan Yan, why don't we add some braised pork? Mother's cooking skills are really not good enough."
At this moment, Zhao really let go of all her reservations and worries. Parents in modern society are always very enthusiastic when facing teachers who visit their homes, not to mention the ancient times when the culture of respecting teachers and valuing education was strong. Moreover, Dean Chang had done Yunfeng a favor, so even if Zhao tried her best, she had to express her gratitude and entertain him well.
