Pig Killer

Chapter 42

"Brother, let's talk about it later. Don't let this pig wake up. It will be difficult to take care of it." Shen Hui'e said quickly and smartly.

Shen Changsheng took a deep breath, glared at his sister in reproach, then walked forward to help her push the wheelbarrow to the pigpen in the backyard with concern.

Shen Hui'e untied the hemp rope, and Li Nu opened the door of the pigpen early. She pulled the pig into the pigpen with all her strength.

Shen Changsheng felt sad when he saw the strong girl.

Shen Hui'e untied the hemp rope on the pig's trotter, walked out of the pigpen and closed the door.

"Let's go! It may take a while for it to wake up!" Shen Hui'e looked up at her eldest brother's complicated eyes, "What's wrong?"

"You used to embroider and read books quietly." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a resentful face and said.

"Can that be eaten?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with pure eyes.

Shen Changsheng was speechless, and after a long pause he said, "That's not possible."

"So! I would rather be extremely strong now, so that I can support my family." Shen Hui'e said very honestly, "Filling my stomach is important."

Shen Changsheng looked at the girl who was dressed in cloth, wrapped in rabbit skin, with no gold hairpins on her head, which was wrapped in cloth. She was really dressed like a peasant woman.

Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright peach blossom eyes and asked, "Brother, are those porks delicious?"

"It's delicious, but you put a lot of peppercorns in it!" Shen Changsheng said to her with bright eyes.

"Yes! Now the fishy smell is covered up." Shen Changsheng looked at her worriedly and said, "Do you have enough peppercorns?"

"Enough! We have a pepper tree at home. We can eat green peppercorns in April and May." Shen Hui'e looked at him with pure eyes and said, "Come on, let's talk in front."

"What are you doing here?" Shen Hui'e asked him while sitting cross-legged on the couch.

"By the way, the toothbrush you mentioned is ready. Look, isn't it like this?" Shen Changsheng pulled over the basket he brought, opened the clean cloth, revealing three toothbrushes inside, and said, "The big one is yours, and the small ones are for Da Chong and the other two."

Shen Hui'e picked up the toothbrush and looked it over. She pressed the pig bristles with her thumb and found that they were quite soft. "It won't prick my mouth."

"I've tried it, and it feels really good after brushing my teeth." Shen Changsheng bared his teeth and looked at them and said, "Look, my teeth are much whiter." He smiled and said, "I brushed them with clean water, and my breath doesn't smell so bad anymore."

"How do you know?" Shen Hui'e asked curiously.

"I'll blow air and then smell it!" Shen Changsheng looked at her and said with a smile, "I'll also blow air and let your sister-in-law smell it."

Shen Hui'e looked at him with curved eyebrows and teased, "Brother and sister-in-law have a really good relationship."

When Shen Changsheng heard this, his face turned red as if he had put on rouge.

Seeing this, Shen Hui'e changed the subject and said, "How much have you done? We all have to have some."

"That's all I've just made." Shen Changsheng smiled and said, "I'll deliver it in a couple of days, and I'll make it known that it was your suggestion."

Shen Hui'e's temples throbbed when she heard that. She waved her hands and said, "No, no. I just said it. Big Brother did it."

"You have to provide the pig bristles for this toothbrush." ​​Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

"That's why we can't tell anyone! Aren't you afraid that others will steal our business? We can make money even from discarded pig hair." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "We can make money quietly. We have no power or influence."

Shen Changsheng was shocked when he heard this, "We have no power or influence, so we really can't be too ostentatious."

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly when she heard that.

"It's nice to be under a big tree to enjoy the shade. We can't eat alone." Shen Changsheng looked at her with emotion and said, "With our background, we can only make a little money."

"Can't you be an official?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes.

"Not likely." Shen Changsheng thought seriously for a moment and looked at her and said, "There is no channel for promotion. After all, not everyone can be a rare commodity." He smiled and said, "Let's just be a rich man and live in peace."

"That's good." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "I just want to improve my life, and making money is just a by-product."

"You are the only one who said that." Shen Changsheng shook his head and chuckled when he heard that.

"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth." Shen Hui'e looked at him sincerely.

Now that we have enough food and clothing, we should improve the quality of life.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Changsheng looked at her tenderly and smiled.

"By the way, that iron pot brother-in-law has already started fighting." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

"Can I get the lump of iron by using my connections?" Shen Hui'e's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"We can try this." Shen Changsheng said conservatively, "After all, this iron is under the control of the imperial court."

"We don't want the mine. The little money leaking from our fingers is enough for us to make iron pots and cook." Shen Hui'e looked at him with bright eyes and said, "You were going to ask for help anyway, but you should go with 'sincerity' so that things will go more smoothly."

Shen Changsheng nodded in understanding and said, "That's right!" He smiled and said, "Don't give us this pork anymore, keep it and sell it for money!"

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e responded readily, and then added, "When the big iron pot is ready, I will give it to you again. You can't refuse it."

"Got it!" Shen Changsheng shook his head and laughed, "Yesterday my brother-in-law grilled meat on an iron plate, it was really delicious." He smiled and said, "It takes time to make an iron pan, so my brother-in-law made you a piece of iron plate, use it first."

Shen Hui'e was delighted when she heard this, but then she said worriedly, "Will the iron lumps in such a big iron pot be enough?"

"It's enough. I calculated it and asked you to get it." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said, "It's not too big. It's a little bigger than the pebbles you use."

"Okay, okay, as long as you have it." Shen Hui'e said with a satisfied smile.

What a surprise! I didn’t expect to eat Teppanyaki a day earlier.

Shen Changsheng lifted the cloth again, took out the iron plate from underneath and placed it on the wooden table.

"Wow..." Shen Hui'e said in amazement, "Is it so smooth?"

"My brother-in-law's blacksmithing skills are very good." Shen Changsheng chuckled and said, "When my father chose these two marriages, he valued the skills of my two brothers-in-law."

"With a skill in hand, you will never have to worry about food and drink." Upon hearing this, Shen Hui'e's ink-black eyes looked at him brightly and deeply like the stars in the sky.

"That's right! That's what my father thought at the time." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "You can actually marry into a wealthy family, but that means you'll be someone's concubine. My father doesn't want you to be humble and suffer grievances."

"I understand." Shen Hui'e's eyes flickered as she heard this, "Being someone's concubine is tiring mentally, but not physically."
