Chapter 46: Confusion of right and wrong
"Ahem... Honestly, I'm obsessed with looks. I mean... you two are both good-looking, and I like good-looking people."
Xu Zhiyi thought that it was better to tell the truth. So far, she really liked the looks of Shen Wuyou and Shen Changan.
As for the romantic feelings, they have only been together for two days, but they have become so affectionate. That's too exaggerated!
However, since she has married them, she will try her best to get along with them in the future.
When Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou heard Xu Zhiyi's words, they only understood it as one sentence: the lady said she liked them.
Shen Wuyou: "Madam, you keep this silver." Then he thought that he would soon be away from the famine! He pretended to remind her casually: "The price of grain is rising so fast now, madam, we can stock up more at once, otherwise the price will rise again next time!"
Xu Zhiyi: "I have hoarded it, I just hid it in a very secret place, no one can find it except me"
Shen Changan: “…”
Shen Wuyou: “…”
The two of them looked at Xu Zhiyi's expressions, as if to say, are you treating me like a child?
Xu Zhiyi: "You don't believe it? Anyway, we have food. But now we have money in hand, it's always good to store more food, otherwise, the price of food will rise more seriously."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou nodded wildly, indicating that he agreed very much with Xu Zhiyi's words. It wouldn't be long before they had to flee from the famine, and food was absolutely essential.
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, I'll go to the town to stock up on food some other day."
"Chen Wuyou, Shen Changan, you two, come out here right now! Who allowed you to marry into the family? Bah, aren't you two afraid that your parents will jump out of the coffin?"
Shen Ercheng came to Xu's house with a cane and started scolding.
Mu was following beside him, and there were villagers coming over from behind.
The villagers looked at the angry looks of Shen Ercheng and Mu and were very puzzled. Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang had been married into the Xu family and lived there for two days. Could it be that Shen Ercheng and his wife only found out about it now?
When the three of them were in a good mood, they were suddenly frightened by the barking of a dog.
Xu Zhiyi came out and glanced at Shen Ercheng coldly, saying sarcastically: "Haha! If he really jumps out of the coffin, I'm afraid the first person he'll strangle to death will be you, a black-hearted thing."
Chen Ercheng glared at Xu Zhiyi viciously: "Bah, you dare to call me black-hearted? Are you as black-hearted as me? You shameless bitch, you kidnapped one of my nephews! You even didn't let go of the other one."
Su, who was standing aside, didn’t know the private relationship between the Shen Wuyou brothers and Shen Ercheng, and hurriedly explained: “There is a misunderstanding, this is between the children…”
Shen Wuyou heard this, pulled Su Shi, and interrupted: "Mom, you don't need to explain anything to him. It's not his turn to point fingers at our brothers' affairs."
Su: "This..."
Xu Zhiyi patted Su's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. I'll explain it to you later."
Shen Wuyou looked at Shen Ercheng, his eyes full of hatred: "Shen Ercheng, you are so ashamed to mention my father? My father has a brother like you, it's really unlucky for eight lifetimes"
When Mu saw the villagers coming over, she quickly wiped her tears and burst into tears:
"Everyone, come and judge for yourself! We just found out today that our two nephews married into the Xu family. My husband and I were thinking about our eldest brother, but who knew that our two nephews were bewitched by women! They even called their own uncle by his name. How disrespectful!"
When the villagers heard this, they started talking about it.
"What's going on? Did the two Shen brothers marry into the family on their own initiative? Oh, they didn't even discuss such a big matter with their elders?"
"That's right! Even though our uncle and aunt are bad, they have never abused you two brothers, and they can even lend a hand occasionally."
"Don't people often say that once you have a wife, you forget your mother. What's more, these are just your uncle and aunt. It's normal to be ungrateful."
Shen Wuyou heard the villagers' bad words, as well as the vicious uncle and aunt pretending to be pitiful on the side, and clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to resist the urge to kill.
"Shut up, Shen Ercheng is not worthy of being my uncle, he is just a heartless person"
Shen Wuyou clenched one hand into a fist and pointed the other hand at the villagers who were watching the fun and talking!
Seeing this, Shen Ercheng immediately pretended to be pitiful and cried, "Woo woo, everyone has seen his attitude? No matter what, I, Shen Ercheng, am also his uncle. My husband and I have done our best for these two nephews, but I didn't expect that he would be an ungrateful person in the end."
Mu, who was standing by, also quickly followed suit, hitting Shen Ercheng with her hand, and angrily scolded him, "Shen Ercheng, what's the point of you being nice to the two brothers? In the end, it still won't end well for them?"
"You tried your best to find a good job for your nephew in the town. The monthly salary of Mr. Chen is two taels of silver. Who knew that he would not appreciate your kindness?"
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately in an uproar!!!
"What? Two taels of silver a month?"
"It's so high, and the second son of the Shen family is still unwilling? These two taels of silver can cover the household expenses for most of half a year!"
Mu: "Wow, what can we do? They don't trust us to take care of his brother, and they changed their minds when they got to the gate of Chen's house! As a result, his uncle was considered to be deliberately playing tricks on Chen's house, and he was beaten up."
"He, Shen Erlang, doesn't want to, but my son does. Twenty percent! As long as you can let my son work in the Chen Mansion, two taels of silver a month, and give you a hundred coins every month to honor you."
"As for me, as long as my son can work in the Chen Mansion, my family will also give him 100 coins a month as a filial gift."
"Ercheng, let my son go first. I am willing to pay fifty cents more than them."
"Fuck you, first come first served!!"
"I'll win if you bid the highest price!!! Get out of here!"
Shen Wuyou looked at this group of ignorant villagers and reminded them, "Haha! Do you think anyone is stupid enough not to even want silver? Two taels of silver a month? Don't you even ask what you are going to do at the Chen Mansion? Go ask which servant in the mansion in the town can have two taels of silver a month?"
"I went to the gate of Chen's house and then changed my mind? You want to know why? It's because my so-called uncle wanted to sell me to Chen's house."
When the villagers heard what Shen Wuyou said, they didn’t know who to believe for a while!
"Impossible? He's my nephew! He's half my son anyway!"
Even if you want to sell it, you should sell Shen Dalang! He is not Shen Ercheng's biological nephew, but Shen Erlang is his biological nephew.
"But what Shen Erlang said is right. If he really gets two taels of silver a month, will he be so hard on the silver?"
When the villagers heard this, they were a little unsure! Did Shen Ercheng really sell even his own nephew?
Shen Ercheng heard the villagers' murmurs and shouted loudly: "Don't believe him, even if I, Shen Ercheng, am a bastard, I can't sell my own nephew! That's my brother's blood! Can I be such a bastard?"
