Shen Xiangzhi realized that he didn't have to stay in school to teach, he was just dissatisfied with having his life arranged by others.

Later, after the old man's persuasion, I finally figured it out.

At this time, Shen Wanhua asked someone to call him back for dinner, so that the father and son could have a good talk, and to give them a chance to untie their knots, the old man deliberately did not go.

When I arrived, I found out that Shen Wanhua had something to do at work and had not returned yet. Only Li Jing was there with her daughter and her niece from her mother's family.

Now that he was here, he was thinking of reconciliation. Even if Shen Wanhua was not there, it would be too disrespectful for him to leave without even eating. In addition, Li Jing kept saying that Shen Wanhua asked him to wait for him to come back.

After dinner, Shen Xiangzhi went to Shen Wanhua's study to wait for him, but he didn't wait for Shen Wanhua, but waited for Li Jing's niece from her mother's family, and when he was not paying attention, the door of the study was locked directly from the outside.

Things that had been planned long ago would naturally not be so simple, and Shen Xiangzhi soon discovered that something was wrong with him.

At this point, it was impossible for Shen Xiangzhi to not understand their calculations.

Li Jing had already sent her three daughters out and stayed at home to observe the situation.

Shen Xiangzhi was also a dog. He couldn't kick the door open, and couldn't call anyone to come. In a rage, he swung his fist at Li Jing's niece and beat her up, making her cry for her parents.

Li Jing pretended that no one was at home at first, but seeing that Shen Xiangzhi was really ready to beat someone to death, she didn't dare to gamble with her life and quickly opened the door.

Shen Xiangzhi is Shen Wanhua's only son. Li Jing dares to plot against him, but doesn't dare to really hurt him.

As for the medicine he was given, it was just an ordinary aphrodisiac and the effect was not strong.

The reason why Shen Xiangzhi reacted so strongly was that it was his first time to come into contact with this kind of thing, and he was really scared, and he was also afraid that if the drug took effect, he would not be able to control himself.

What happened later became clear. He did not cause any harm. On the contrary, Li Jing's niece was almost beaten to death by him. It was impossible for Shen Wanhua to divorce Li Jing for such a small matter, not to mention that they had three daughters.

But this matter was so disgusting that even if Shen Xiangzhi didn't suffer any loss, he still felt a thorn in his heart.

In addition, he later learned that the reason why the old couple of the Su family left Jiangcheng for refuge was due to the involvement of the Li family.

Even if they were just adding fuel to the flames, Shen Xiangzhi was disgusting enough, and Shen Wanhua had no attitude towards it, so he signed up for himself to go to the countryside in a fit of anger.

After hearing this, An Hongdou didn't know whether she should sympathize with him.

Although his stepmother was not a worry-free person, Shen Xiangzhi was not someone who would just accept it.

In short, if you really count the fight between the two, it can be said that both sides suffered losses and no one got anything good.

Patting his head comfortingly, An Hongdou didn't know how to persuade anyone, so she just lay down and went to sleep.

Shen Xiangzhi: “???”

He pretended to be pitiful and said a lot, but this is all she said?

The night passed quickly and dawn came quietly.

Mr. Shen got up very early when others were still asleep.

He was bored alone, so he simply woke up Shen Wanhua.

Diligent people are already busy in the fields. Although the fields belong to the state, every household has a private plot that can be used to grow vegetables.

There are also diligent people who have cleared a small piece of land next to the river on the hillside to plant pumpkins, winter melons and the like. When the frost comes in the autumn, they can pick the fruits to provide food for the family.

Everyone is busy making a living.

Mr. Shen sighed and suddenly missed the time when he was a child.

At that time, he also accompanied his parents to wander in the fields.

However, he only missed that feeling and definitely did not miss the hard work of farming.

In this pre-mechanized age, all work had to be done with hands, and just digging the ground was enough to tire most people out.

Ma Cuilian also got up early. Her status in the village did not improve after she exposed the hunting activities of the educated youth. Instead, she became someone that everyone avoided.

There are not many hunters as good as An Hongdou in the village, but almost every household has gone up the mountain to catch a pheasant or a rabbit.

Although everyone ran away very quickly when they went to the educated youth site to arrest people, everyone was still trying to avoid Ma Cuilian, the informant, for fear that they would be imprisoned by accident.

Ma Cuilian had just returned from reform and had not worked for more than half a year, so naturally she did not get any income, and the food distributed to her family last year was also snatched away by Zhang Xinyou's family.

Zhao Yueyue was left alone, and she had been relying on help from others and digging wild vegetables to survive for the past six months. Now that Ma Cuilian has returned, based on her reputation, no one would be willing to help her, so she had to go out early and come back late every day to find food when there was no farm work to do.

Even when everyone broke up yesterday, her family didn't get a single share because two of them had undergone transformation and had bad backgrounds.

Just as Ma Cuilian was thinking about the injustice she had encountered during this period, she looked up and saw Mr. Shen and Shen Wanhua walking towards her.

As soon as they arrived yesterday, the news spread throughout the village, including the relationship between them and Shen Xiangzhi.

Ma Cuilian thought, the Shen family are all city people, and judging by the way they are dressed, their family background should be good. Why would they agree to let their child marry a country girl?

Since the An family makes my life difficult, why should I make their life easy?

So, they did everything themselves and can't blame themselves for being cruel.

Thinking about this, Ma Cuilian walked over, and pulled a smile on her old face, pretending to be happy and said: "Hey, this is Shen Zhiqing's family, right? I heard from the villagers yesterday that Hongdou's mother-in-law and grandfather are here, so you are the ones, right?"

Shen Wanhua frowned, and didn’t want to pay attention to Ma Cuilian’s first impression.

However, everyone was very enthusiastic, and it would not be good for him to ignore them, so he simply nodded.

Mr. Shen has lived to such an old age that he has developed a pair of sharp eyes. Although the old woman in front of him pretended to be very kind, he could still see a bit of harshness in her face.

"You are..." Mr. Shen asked out of politeness.

"Grandpa, I'm Hongdou's aunt, and also...Hongdou's ex-mother-in-law." Ma Cuilian was hesitant to speak.

But the three words "ex-mother-in-law" are not a good name for An Hongdou.

Especially Shen Wanhua, who originally felt that An Hongdou was not worthy of Shen Xiangzhi, and now a former mother-in-law has come out, he immediately felt cheated.

"What do you mean? What ex-mother-in-law? Has An Hongdou been married before?" It doesn't matter if she's just a village girl. Their family isn't short of anything anyway. They don't need a daughter-in-law to add icing on the cake. Considering the three children, it's not completely unacceptable.

But if An Hongdou got married again, even if Shen Wanhua himself was one, he would not be able to accept that his son, who had never seen a woman, would marry a woman who had been married twice.
