The Soul Reborn

42. Have They Had the First Night?

When Ms. Zhu Haimei had not mentioned the matter of the fortune teller, her mother-in-law was still calm. But as soon as her mother-in-law mentioned the matter, her mother-in-law immediately smiled coldly and said, "Life Phoenix? Lazy and not working, while others have to live it? That's not the life of the Phoenix."

"What you said is not true. My Haimei is cooking now. How can you call it lazy? After all, didn't your Dongyuan also rise to become a Company Commander?"

Upon hearing that, her mother-in-law became very angry. "Don't be shameless. My eldest son was promoted to Company Commander because of his own efforts.

After all, you've bribed her forecaster master to have my entire family trust her."

On the other hand, there was Zhu Haimei who heard their conversation clearly. Whahuh? Bribing? Whatdoes thatmean? Zhu Haimei was increasingly focused on listening to their conversation while boiling water.

Mother Zhu Haimei's heart immediately beat violently after hearing the words just now, he then shouted, "Who is bribing? Tell me clearly, who's bribing?"

Her mother-in-law then snorted in annoyance. "You're afraid of being discovered, aren't you? Don't panic that."

Somehow, Mother Zhu Haimei suddenly did not want to argue with her ironwork anymore. "I don't want to talk to you much. I see you don't need this chicken in your house, so I better take it home again." Zhu Haimei's mother turned her head towards the kitchen and said, "Haimei, I'm leaving first. Come to the house later." After saying that, he went home with a chicken in his hand.

"I understand." Zhu Haimei replied, he was still in a daze after hearing the debate just now, but he slowly understood. Last night her mother said that she had gone to great lengths to get her married to Shen Dongyuan. It turned out that his mother bribed a fortune teller to trick the Shen Dongyuan family. This fact made Zhu Haimei feel embarrassed and uneasy.

Never mind, he doesn't want to think too much about it. As soon as the water was boiling, he went out to see his mother-in-law. "Mom, I really can't cook pork. How about you teach me first?"

Because her mother-in-law's mood was bad, she responded cynically. "What's? Phoenix Life? Your family doesn't trust you anymore."

Despite being responded with a cynical tone, Zhu Haimei tried to keep smiling. "Teach me Mom. I promise I'll wake up tomorrow morning to cook pork."

Since her mother-in-law's leg was still not healed, then she could only give directions by pointing at this and that. Although Zhu Haimei's mother-in-law was still upset, she taught her daughter-in-law, because there was no one else she could tell.

After the incident, Zhu Haimei woke up early in the morning and boiled water in a large pot to boil pork. Then he pulled his sheep out of the fan carrying it to the top of the pile of grass. After that, he fed and drank the chicken.

He had already talked about it with his father-in-law so as not to release the chicken outside. They both agreed that there would be no chickens hanging around and there would be no chicken manure anymore, so their yard became very clean and tidy.

Being busy working out his routine from the morning Zhu Haimei's stomach became very hungry, he also ate a portion to taste. After five or six days had passed, he felt his trouser belt become loose. When his brother-in-law came, he was also shocked when he saw Zhu Haimei. "You're losing weight again?"

Zhu Haimei then pulled up his sleeves and flushed the cabbage planted outside. When he heard his sister-in-law say so, he couldn't help but touch her face, "Could it?"

Shen Hexangan could not help but laugh when he saw Zhu Haimei's behavior. "I can still lie as it turns out, where's Mom?" ask her a little joke.

Zhu Haimei then looked inside the house. "I don't know."

"I'll go look for him.' Shen Hexian said as he walked towards the house.

Wang Chunlai who was behind him, carried a bag and greeted Zhu Haimei.

"Busy huh, guess what this is?"

Her sister-in-law's husband carried a bag, then wrapped something in Zhu Haimei's head. He then said, "Yellow chips?" 'Does Brother-in-law really want to make that canned food?' Zhu Haimei asked inwardly.

Wang Chunlai then pointed his thumb. "Smart, Sister-in-law. Do you think we can do it? Let's try it first."

Wang Chunlai kept thinking about it so he couldn't sleep. His brain was filled with plans of making canned yellow peaches. He thinks like the old saying: 'Do not be shackled by anything. Dare to do what I want to do.' Now state policy has gradually begun to loose, in contrast to previous years. That's what makes Wang Chunlai want to start trying something, maybe he can succeed.

After Zhu Haimei thought for a moment, he said, "I should try it first. Is the yellow peach ripe?"

Then Wang Chunlai opened the bag he was carrying quickly, then showed Zhu Haimei that his yellow peach was still immature. He also specifically chose the fruits himself in his garden.

Zhu Haimei then saw one by one the peaches that were the size of the fist. The bag contains slightly yellowed peaches, "Not very good, however the fruit should be 80% ripe. The fruits in this bag just turned yellow."

"That's easy. The day after tomorrow, this fruit can ripen 80%. I have a way for these fruits to ripen 80%. Tell me, what else to buy? I'll buy it."

Does your brother-in-law mean it?

Then her mother and father-in-law were seen coming out of the house. When they saw the bag, they immediately asked, "Are the yellow peaches edible now?"

"No, I told Chunlai to cover it so it can ripen, you eat first."

Her mother-in-law was also pouting. "Can the fruit be delicious if allowed to ripen by closing? You better sell it for two yuan in the fall."

Shen Hexangan said, "Selling it in any season is the same." He then winked at Wang Chunlai to signal. Wang Chunlai then immediately lifted his bag into the kitchen.

That night Shen Hualsi did not go and slept together with Zhu Haimei in one bed.

"Sister-in-law, do you know how to make this canned food? What should be purchased? Say."

"There's one thing that's not easy to buy." Zhu Haimei said as he stared at the dim light bulb.

"What?"

"Food coloring. If we do not include food coloring then the color will be very ugly. If the color is bad, I'm afraid it won't sell."

Shen Hexangan certainly did not know what food coloring was.

"Sister, don't worry about this matter. I'll go out tomorrow, please Brother tell Mom."

"Okay, you can go. Yesterday, my mother praised you in front of me. Mother said that now you become diligent and can cook.

Zhu Haimei simply laughed and did not reply to the words just now. Of course he has to be diligent. If not, can he still stay here?

The next day, Zhu Haimei had already left early in the morning.

As soon as she saw Shen Hualsi who was busy doing homework, her mother-in-law immediately frowned. "Where is Haimei?"

Shen Hexian then laughed and said, "The whole day in the house was also quite tiring, Mom. So I'll replace him for a day."

"Would he be exhausted just from doing some homework with his fat body?"

"Mom can't say that. Wouldn't you feel tired after a long day at work? Now I have to be thankful that Haimei has changed."

Right now, her mother-in-law could not say that she hated Zhu Haimei, although for the past few days, she had always looked at Zhu Haimei with a cold gaze. He could not really hate Zhu Haimei because his daughter-in-law had already changed and become completely different from before. The present Zhu Haimei, always speaking correctly and logically, and doing things neatly, even the cooking was delicious. No matter how badly he spoke to Zhu Haimei and told him to work, his daughter-in-law did not complain at all. His daughter-in-law will do what she has to do as usual.

When relatives arrived, Zhu Haimei also smiled and greeted them, and poured tea. His daughter-in-law will be busy doing this and that for the sake of entertaining guests without exception. No one would be able to find Zhu Haimei's flaws. However, there was one thing he could not do at all, which was to work in the fields.

When his mother-in-law told him to go weeding the grass, Zhu Haimei could not finish his task in half a day, but he only had to weed the grass for two meters. Zhu Haimei immediately ran into the shade of the tree to rest. Seeing it like that, really pissed people off.

Her mother-in-law then sighed. "There's nothing I can do about it. I will be completely satisfied when I can hold my granddaughter. Dongguan was already twenty years old. In this village, a man his age already has a child who can walk."

"Sooner or later, he'll definitely let Mom carry him."

Zhu Haimei's mother-in-law, who was standing in front of Shen Huangan, asked, "Do you think they did the first night?"

Even though Shen Hexian already had two children, but as soon as his mother talked about this topic, his face suddenly reddened in an instant. "Why do you worry about that?"

"Night, you ask him."

Shen Hexangan's face then turned tense. "No, I won't ask him that. If you're curious, ask yourself." Shen Hualangan said then turned around and went to feed the pigs.
