Chapter 194 Judgment
This really saved her a lot of money.
Chen Xiang smiled helplessly, "Mom, you don't have to make it for me. Sister Su Tai gave me two sets of 80% new clothes before, but I didn't wear them. They were made of this kind of material. I'll go get them for you to see."
The whole family was a little surprised.
"Little sister, when did Sister Su Tai give you clothes? Why didn't I know about it?" Shen Dagou wondered.
Chen Xiang came into the house and quickly took out a large clean package. He said, "Last winter, when I went to work, Sister Su Tai saw that I was wearing thin clothes and my clothes and pants were a little short, so she packed two sets of clothes for me. She said that the clothes were what she wore before she had a child, and she couldn't wear them after she had a child, so they were perfect for me. I saw that the clothes were very new, and I couldn't bear to part with them, so I kept them."
As he spoke, Chenxiang shook his clothes. One set was a light yellow cotton coat, and the other was a pastel pink one. They were obviously worn by a little girl.
Huang Xinghua had sharp eyes. She only looked at it carefully for a while before smiling and saying, "Silly girl, this dress is obviously new. I guess your sister Su Tai made it especially for you. She was afraid you wouldn't want it, so she said she couldn't wear it. You must thank her later."
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but curl her lips and laughed, "Our Xiang girl is kind-hearted and lovable. You guys just work hard for Chen Yi and Su Tai, and they will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Huang Xinghua was happy, "Mom, even if you don't mention it, we still remember it. We work hard to earn money for others, so we must be down-to-earth and diligent."
Mrs. Chen nodded with satisfaction and turned to ask about building the house.
Chen Mu spoke up at this point, "Chen Yi mentioned this to me yesterday. He said that when he was building the house, he asked someone to get a batch of bricks and stones over. He asked me to build eight rooms for Da Gou, just right to surround a small courtyard, with two rooms on each side. He also said that using bricks and stones, there would be no need for repairs for decades, and there would be no need to worry about the walls becoming mottled.
I haven't made up my mind yet. From what Shen Yi said, he wants to get bricks and stones. If that's the case, I will build a small yard for Big Dog. From now on, that yard will belong to Big Dog and his wife, and it will have nothing to do with other children."
As he spoke, Chen Mu called a few children over and explained the situation to them in person.
Mrs. Chen chimed in, "With our ability, we really can't build a yard for your eldest brother. Chen Yi gave money and effort because your eldest brother helped him a lot. It has nothing to do with your parents. You can't be jealous in the future. Do you understand?"
Several children nodded repeatedly.
Shen Dagou scratched his head embarrassedly, "Dad, Mom, and Grandma, even if I get married, I will give you half of my wages to help my brothers and sisters save up betrothal gifts and dowries."
Several younger brothers and sisters thanked Shen Dagou with a smile.
Seeing how harmonious the brothers and sisters were, the three adults also laughed.
The Cao family also received the same thank-you gift, in addition to five taels of silver as a thank-you for Cao's delivery of the baby.
The three daughters-in-law of Cao were really stunned by the five taels of silver.
"Mom, Shen Yi is so generous, no wonder he is on people's minds!" Qian couldn't help but sigh.
Cao rolled her eyes at her, "Don't you see how much Shen Yi cherishes his wife? This time, the situation was dangerous. Your mother and I helped his wife give birth safely. He will definitely remember it for the rest of his life. What's so strange about giving five taels as a thank you? I asked you before if you wanted to learn the skills of midwifery from me, but you were always hesitant. Now you are jealous again?"
The three daughters-in-law all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Mom, we know we were wrong. I will learn from you from now on, okay?" Mrs. Wu quickly expressed her opinion.
Li had a sad face, "Mom, I want to learn it too, but I get scared when I see so much blood. I closed my eyes when I gave birth and didn't even dare to look. I really don't have the talent to do this."
Cao shook her head in dismay, then looked at her eldest daughter-in-law Qian, "What about you?"
Qian smiled awkwardly and said, "Mom, I'm not afraid, but are you sure about my careless personality?"
Cao felt that he couldn't breathe, so he took off his shoes and was about to hit someone.
Qian was hiding here and there, screaming like a ghost, but she still kept clamoring for a share of the bread, which made Cao even more speechless.
Many families in Shenjia Village were as lively as New Year's Day because they received thank-you gifts from Shen Yi.
The Xiong family in Ximen Village was indeed in a gloomy mood.
Ever since Niu was carried home, Mo Chunxiang took her two children back to her parents' home.
Ding went to the house several times but didn't see anyone. She also had a big fight with Guan. She was so angry that she complained to Xiong Danian when she returned home, "Why did Xiong Kai fall for a woman like Mo Chunxiang who would destroy the bridge after crossing the river? Now her husband is still in prison and her mother-in-law is sick, but she ran away without caring about anything! Is this reasonable?"
Xiong Danian had a fierce face and pounded the table in frustration, "Alright, the Mo family has a lot of people in the village and they are powerful. We can't win if they really make a scene. Let's wait until my sister-in-law wakes up. I'll go to the county to ask around and see if there's any chance of getting away with Ah Kai's case."
"It's all the fault of that Chen Yi and that stinky woman from the Su family. If it weren't for them, my cousin wouldn't have been so miserable. I want them to die a miserable death!" Xiong Dao shouted angrily.
Ding slapped him in the face, "Don't make trouble! Get out of the way!"
Xiong Dao was unwilling to accept the result, but when he met his father's fierce gaze, he immediately became quiet.
Before the spring plowing, the county government also decided on the punishment for Xiong Kai and Niu Peng.
Niu Peng attempted to steal by climbing over the wall and was sentenced to 30 strokes of the cane. However, considering his injuries, his sentence will be postponed until his injuries have healed.
Xiong Kai attacked a pregnant woman and his crimes were too numerous to list. Fortunately, Su Tai was unharmed. The county magistrate sentenced him to three years in prison with hard labor and ordered him to pay one or two taels of silver as compensation to the Shen family.
Niu fainted again when she knew the result. When she woke up, she kept crying, "Brother and sister-in-law, Su Tai didn't have any injuries at all, but Akai was sentenced to three years in prison and fined one or two taels of silver. It's so unfair! Wuuwuwu. The county magistrate must have accepted benefits from Shen Yi to make such a sentence. I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"
Xiong Danian's face changed drastically, "Sister-in-law, don't say such things. What if the county magistrate gets in trouble with you?"
“What am I afraid of! At worst I can go in and keep my son company! Poor Ah Kai, he was injured so badly that he has to serve for three years. I don’t know if he can make it through it, wuwuwu.” Niu felt so heartbroken when she thought of this, and her hatred for Chen Yi Su Tai became even stronger.
Mrs. Ding hurriedly advised, "Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to think about your grandchildren. Mo Chunxiang is obviously not a quiet person. When Akai got into trouble, she took the children back to her parents' home and didn't even look at you. What can you expect? Fortunately, Akai is still here, and she can't do anything. Once Akai is gone, do you believe that she will abandon the two children and find someone else to marry?
That's the bloodline of our Xiong family. You can't let it end up without any relatives or friends, right? The spring ploughing is about to start, and there will always be people to do the housework. If you don't stand up, who will the two children rely on in the future?"
