Chapter 124 The Silent Devotion Behind the Scenes



Shen Limin wiped his tears while running. Even though he bit his lips tightly, he still couldn't stop the tears from flowing down his cheeks.

He didn't stop until he ran into Shen's house and bumped into Wang Huilian who was coming out of the west room.

Seeing her son's red eyes, Wang Huilian quickly asked, "Dali, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you... are you crying?"

Her youngest son had been naughty and carefree since he was young. He was almost never seen crying after he was seven or eight years old.

What happened today?

Shen Limin couldn't hold it in any longer, and cried and yelled at Wang Huilian: "Isn't it my sister's fault? It's all her fault."

When Wang Huilian heard that it was because of Shen Hongmei, she guessed that he was being laughed at.

I could only helplessly say, "I told you not to go out this morning, but you refused to listen. It's so hot right now, why do you have to go out and recruit others?"

Shen Limin felt very unconvinced after hearing this: "I didn't do anything shameful, why should I hide at home and not go out?"

Wang Huilian was speechless at the hapless child's anger: "No matter if you did it or not, can't you just stay at home for two days?"

"You knew that you would be laughed at if you went out, but you still had to go out. Aren't you asking for it?"

Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly to his mother, Shen Limin pushed Wang Huilian aside and ran into the house.

Wang Huilian staggered and yelled at Shen Limin's back, "What are you doing? Do you want to be beaten?"

Then I suddenly noticed that my younger son's cotton trousers were loose around his waist and he had to hold the belt with one hand to keep it from falling down.

This sloppy look made Wang Huilian even more angry: "Why don't you tie your pants properly? Why are you holding them with your hands? You are a grown man, don't you know how to tie your belt?"

Hearing Wang Huilian talk about this, Shen Limin became even angrier.

He stopped, turned to face her, and spoke without thinking: "Why don't you say I don't wear it? I want to wear it, but others want to see it."

"Others want to see if everyone in our Shen family has a butt as white as my sister's. You all just wait!"

After saying that, he rushed into the west room without looking back.

Wang Huilian: ......

She looked at the still shaking door curtain of the west room in disbelief, and for a moment she didn't know whether to be angry or feel sorry for her younger son's experience.

Then he angrily threw the shaking door curtain aside and said, "Tell me, who pulled your pants off? I'm going to find him. I'll scold him so hard that even his eight generations of ancestors will have to stand up and apologize."

But Shen Limin had no face to talk about such a shameful thing.

He lay on the kang angrily without saying a word.

Wang Huilian stepped forward and pushed him hard: "Speak? Where did the energy you used to challenge me just now go?"

"You're a coward in front of others, but you act tough in front of me?"

Shen Limin twisted his body but remained silent to express his protest.

Shen Chunshu, who was leaning against the kang, scolded Wang Huilian impatiently: "What are you yelling about? Who are you going to find? Aren't you ashamed enough? Do you dare to go out and make trouble?"

Wang Huilian glanced at Shen Chunshu's face, and seeing that he was not looking at her with a friendly look, she had to suppress her anger.

But he still couldn't help but push Shen Limin and whispered to him, "How old are you? When others bully you, you don't fight back? You grew so tall for nothing, and you only know how to piss when you are bullied? You are a loser."

Since then, except for Shen Siyue who still went out early and came back late every day to clean up her broken house, the others did not leave the hospital for several days.

After this incident, the Shen family was quiet for several days.

Shen Siyue stood at the outside of the crowd and saw everything clearly during the excitement that night.

After living for so long, Shen Siyue has understood everyone in the Shen family.

Except for the second brother Shen and his wife who are a pair of fools who only know how to work, the eldest brother Shen and the third brother Shen are neither willing to submit to the other.

Li Xiaoqin wanted to gain a place in the Shen family, and she was constantly competing with Wang Huilian for status.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Huilian married into the Shen family early, taking advantage of the first come first served principle.

The second daughter-in-law, Li Xiang, was silly and listened to Wang Huilian in everything. Over the years, she became arrogant and reckless.

Now he has unexpectedly run into the cunning Li Xiaoqin, which is why he suffers losses repeatedly.

The more you suffer losses, the more unwilling you become to accept the defeat, and the more unwilling you become to accept the defeat, the more confused you become.

Especially after what happened to Shen Hongmei, Wang Huilian completely lost face in front of Old Man Shen.

She is so listless that she doesn't even take the title of sister-in-law as a sign of superiority.

I obediently took turns cooking and doing housework with Li Xiang and Li Xiaoqin.

As for Shen Siyue, after so many days of preparation, the wood for repairing the roof was almost ready.

The next step is to prepare the adobe bricks for building the kang in the spring.

But it is winter now and we can't make mud, so we can only wait until next spring to start making it.

After Shitou helped Shen Siyue split the rafters they would use, he carried his things into the mountains as usual during the day.

At night, I started using saws, chisels and other tools to prepare wooden boards, wooden strips and other materials for making windows.

As a carpenter who started out halfway through his career, he also learned his way up from making things for himself.

The size of the stone windows was not made according to the hole left in the house.

But it's much bigger than that.

The house was originally prepared for the land keeper and was not intended for permanent residence, so the windows were very small.

Now that we are going to renovate it, we might as well make a bigger window, so that the light and ventilation will be better.

It took several days for Shi Tou to finally finish the window.

Then, according to the size of the window, he slowly scraped away part of the original window's perimeter at night when no one was around, and installed the window he had made.

So when Shen Siyue came to the house the next day, she saw the brand new wooden windows, which had been installed tightly.

Without a doubt, she knew who did it.

Looking back in the direction of Shitou’s house, Shen Siyue felt a little mixed.

Ever since he helped him get someone to catch Shen Hongmei's adultery last time and confessed his love to her, Shi Tou might have been afraid that Shen Siyue would feel burdened, so he intentionally or unintentionally avoided her time.

During the day, he left the village early before Shen Siyue came.

When April Shen returns to the Shen family at night, she will come here to do some work.

Shen Siyue herself didn’t know how to respond to him. She really didn’t want to have any emotional entanglements with any man in this time and space.

But she was born in the 21st century and didn't know much about these rural tasks, especially building houses, and she really needed his help.

This made her feel like she was being morally blackmailed and exploited.

Shen Siyue could only spit on herself in her heart while touching the brand new window and grinning foolishly.

Seeing that her little home, which belonged entirely to her, was finally getting better bit by bit, her happiness grew day by day.

As for the favor that Shitou had silently done for her behind her back, Shen Siyue thought that she could only compensate him somewhere else in the future.
