Chapter 1613 Continuing to Eat Porridge
With a heavy heart, Sun Shan walked back to the backyard step by step.
Sister Yun quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shan, our whole family should stay home these days to avoid causing trouble."
The best way to prevent accidents is to stay at home, which greatly reduces the probability of them happening.
For example, when some people encounter accidents while traveling, netizens often exclaim that poverty saved them.
Sun Shan agreed, saying, "That's right. We shouldn't go anywhere for the next month; we should stay home and keep quiet."
Madam Su, holding her sulking little chubby girl, stepped forward and asked, "Shanzi, has the emperor's death affected you? Your mother doesn't understand anything and doesn't know what to do."
Su had just uttered the word "death".
She was immediately met with a barrage of insults from Uncle Sun: "Sister-in-law, if you don't understand, shut up. Death, death, death! How can you say the emperor died? He just rode a crane to heaven to continue being the emperor. Oh dear, having an uncultured daughter-in-law like you in the family is a great misfortune for the Sun family."
He turned around, his face beaming, and looked at Yun Jie'er with a fawning expression: "Daughters from wealthy families are the best. Look at her, she's so organized and efficient, truly a virtuous helper to Shanzi."
Su Shi & Yun Jie'er: ......
Su was furious. She pointed at Uncle Sun and shouted fiercely, "Third brother...you...you...I'm still your sister-in-law."
Seeing the gunpowder being thrown at her, Sister Yun took small steps forward.
She said in a panic, "Mother, Third Uncle is so nervous that he is talking incoherently. Please don't mind him."
Madam Su glared fiercely at Yun Jie'er and snorted coldly.
Sun Bomin saw that his uncle and sister-in-law were still arguing.
She said irritably, "What time is it? Why are you still making such a racket? Shanzi told us not to cause trouble, but you're just bothering him with all this noise."
Turning to Sun Shan, he said, "Shanzi, you need to lock your mother and third uncle inside the house, so they don't keep chattering and cause you trouble."
Su Shi & Uncle Sun: .....
He stared wide-eyed at Sun Bomin.
He cursed under his breath: "What happened to the honest guy they were promised? Humph, Sun Bomin is the most dishonest member of the whole family. They actually wanted to lock them in a dark room? No way!"
Sun Shan quickly stopped the argument and said calmly, "Mother, Third Uncle, please stop arguing. Stay home for the next month and don't go anywhere. If you're bored, learn Yuanlu dialect from Granny Wang."
Su and Uncle Sun dared not utter a sound. Although Sun Shan's expression was calm, his tone carried a hint of anger.
Based on years of experience, the best thing to do at this moment is to keep quiet.
Sun Shan then said to De Ge'er, "De Ge'er, you too. Stop the business for now, stay home and don't go out to watch operas or drink tea."
He paused, then added, "I can't see Wang Jijun for the next month."
Dege'er stared wide-eyed, puzzled, and asked, "Shanzi, I understand that we can't do business or go out for tea or opera, but why can't we even see Jundi?"
I plan to make good use of this free month to discuss with Jun Di how to make more money in business over the next year.
The two not only went to sell grain, but also other goods, and planned to open a shop in Chenzhou Prefecture to sell specialties from the Jiangnan region.
Instead of targeting the low-end market, we will focus on the mid-to-high-end market.
During the Spring Festival, the two secretly plotted to make a fortune in the new year.
Sun Shan couldn't very well say that Wang Jijun and De Ge'er were unreliable and had a very high probability of causing trouble.
It's fine to cause minor troubles on ordinary days, but it's absolutely unacceptable during extraordinary times.
A wise person anticipates trouble and takes precautions; separating Dege'er and Wang Jijun is the best defensive measure.
Sun Shan offered no explanation and directly issued the order: "I'm not here to discuss this with you, but to inform you."
Dege'er: ......
What could we do? We could only comply.
Sun Shan not only demanded that his own family members be quiet, but also that his employees be quiet, and even that the entire Yuanlu City be quiet.
Keep your head down, do your work quietly, and refrain from gossip!
After finishing her meal, Little Fatty threw another tantrum.
Because it's still plain congee.
Of course, this time the whole family ate salted radish and salted preserved mustard greens with sweet potato porridge.
If porridge isn't enough, you can still eat sweet potatoes.
The chubby girl looked pitifully at Sun Shan, pointed at the plain porridge, and said with dissatisfaction, "Father, Xiaoxiao doesn't want to eat plain porridge. Xiaoxiao's mouth is bland, and plain porridge has no taste."
The poor little chubby girl was "abused" by Su Shi and Yun Jie'er for a full ten days. Just a few days after liberation, she had to return to the days of eating coarse food and wild vegetables. How painful that was.
Sun Shan felt sorry for the little chubby girl when he saw that she had lost a lot of weight.
It just so happens that it's a time of national mourning, and one cannot eat meat. She said with reluctance, "My dear daughter, please bear with it; it will pass soon. Have some plain porridge for now. After the mourning period, I'll buy you pig's feet, okay?"
The chubby girl shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no. Xiaoxiao doesn't want to drink plain porridge, Xiaoxiao wants to eat meat."
It would be best if there were pig's feet to eat, but it's okay if there aren't. As long as there's meat, Little Fatty will be happy.
Hu Ming took a sip of the congee and said comfortingly, "Xiao Xiao, don't be stubborn. Everyone is eating congee now, so you should eat too. This is for your godfather's good, you know?"
Who doesn't love to eat meat? But for his godfather, Hu Ming would do anything.
Little Black Girl patted Little Fatty's chubby little shoulder and gently comforted her, "Xiaoxiao, let's all drink porridge together. We can't eat meat. Be good, it will pass soon."
The little black girl was confused and only knew that the emperor was dead and that they had to cry and eat vegetarian food.
As for why, the little head hadn't figured it out yet.
The chubby little girl angrily kicked her two chubby legs and cried out in a tantrum, "Xiaoxiao wants to eat meat, Xiaoxiao doesn't want to eat porridge! Daddy, don't you love Xiaoxiao the most? Why won't you give Xiaoxiao meat?"
The chubby girl wiped away her tears as she recounted all the faults of Sun Shan.
According to Xiaofeimei, Sun Shan is a faithless and scumbag father.
Sun Bomin felt sorry for his little chubby girl but didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only keep saying, "My dear grandson, don't cry, just bear with it, you'll be able to eat meat soon..."
Su glared at the chubby girl and said coldly, "Chubby girl, stop making a fuss, or you won't get any porridge. Don't be so arrogant. You're lucky to have been born into the Sun family if you can even get some porridge."
Of course, he secretly cursed the deceased emperor under his breath.
He's dead, so why make these unrelated people mourn him? They weren't even that close to him. It's simply outrageous.
Uncle Sun and Brother De also comforted Little Fatty, because they were also very dissatisfied.
Just like Su thought, what did it matter to them whether the emperor lived or died? Why should they be forced to live the life of monks?
Gui-ge'er said tenderly, "Xiaoxiao, don't cry, don't cry, be good. After you're out of your confinement period, you can eat meat. Don't cry, don't cry..."
Gui Ge'er coaxed Xiao Fei Mei more often than Xiao Hei Mei.
Most people would probably call the chubby girl spoiled.
Gui Ge'er was no ordinary man; he loved Xiao Fei Mei very much because of his love for her.
Instead, they thought it was perfectly normal for the chubby girl to be spoiled.
A daughter of an official, and a girl like Xiao Hei Mei, a commoner, should be different from others.
