After this farce, the Shen family had lost all their reputation in the village, and even their reputation had been torn down.
Lin Hu patted Shen Changshan on the shoulder and said, “Changshan, after what happened today, they shouldn’t come to cause trouble again.”
"We've already torn our skin apart, there's no need to show mercy anymore."
Shen Changshan nodded, "Thank you, my two uncles."
Lin Kun waved his hand and said, "We didn't help much, so there's no need to thank us. We'll go back first."
The next day, when Chen Li and his group came down from the mountain, they saw Shen Wensong standing outside the yard.
He was wearing a sky-blue gown with bamboo leaves embroidered on the cuffs. From a distance, he looked quite like a scholar.
Shen Wensong turned around when he heard the noise, "Uncle, Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, A-Li."
Shen Changshan had a pretty good impression of his nephew, and he didn't have a cold face when he saw him appear here.
"Wen Song, is there something going on here?"
Shen Wensong bowed deeply to Shen Changshan and said, "Uncle, I already know what happened yesterday. My parents were wrong, so I came here to apologize."
Shen Wensong also wanted to bring Shen Dajiang and Yang Chunhong with him, but they were his elders after all, so he had to give them some face.
Shen Changshan looked at his nephew and sighed in his heart that although his second brother and his wife were not of good character, this nephew was indeed a good person, which was undeniable.
He took two steps forward and helped Shen Wensong up. "Wensong, what they did has nothing to do with you. There's no need to do this."
Shen Wensong had a wry smile on his handsome face. "Uncle, they are my parents. How can what they do have nothing to do with me?"
"Besides, all these things they did were for me. Since my nephew has enjoyed the benefits, I can't stay out of it."
He knew a little about what Shen Wenfeng and his wife were doing behind the scenes to instigate Shen Dajiang and Yang Chunhong.
But those were his parents, and he would tell them every time he came back from his ten-day holiday, but it had little effect.
Shen Changshan looked at him and patted his shoulder, "You are a good guy."
"Go back, we have already separated, there is no need, and we should not have any contact in the future."
After Shen Changshan finished speaking, he walked past him and into his yard.
Shen Jingyuan and others behind him greeted Shen Wensong and followed their father in.
Their impression of Shen Wensong was not good, but it was not to be underestimated either. He was the only person in the Shen family who showed kindness to them.
However, the treatment they had endured over the past decade was related to him and even his parents, so he felt very complicated.
Chen Li was the last one to enter the yard. Before closing the door, she glanced at her second brother from the next room. Could it be that Shen Wenfeng and his wife are turning bad things into good things?
Shen Wensong himself understood this. Looking at the closed door with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes, he turned and walked towards the old house.
Before he came, he already knew that everything his grandparents and parents had done had deeply hurt his uncle's family. There was a deep chasm between them that could not be repaired or restored.
When Shen Wensong returned to the old house, He Lai Di was standing in the yard. Seeing him come back, she hurried forward and asked:
"Wensong, where have you been?"
Shen Wensong's complexion had returned to normal. "Mom, I didn't go anywhere. I went to study first."
"well."
He Lai Di looked at her son and always felt that something was wrong, but he looked quite normal. Thinking about her son saying that he wanted to review his lessons, she didn't dare to disturb him.
…
Time quickly came to late June. For more than a month, the temperature has been around 38 degrees Celsius, and it has not rained. The weather is very dry and it seems even hotter.
To date, the price of grain has increased many times. Brown rice is now 60 wen per catty, and there is a daily purchase limit. One person can only buy a maximum of 5 catties. The government does not intervene, and the lower-class people are complaining bitterly.
This price makes many people discouraged and they can only turn their attention to old rice, soybeans and millet.
Perhaps because it has not rained for a long time, most food has been restricted in purchase, such as soybeans and millet, and each person can only buy one stone a day.
At the same time, people in the town started selling water, 50 copper coins per bucket. The wooden barrels were not big and could only hold 15 liters of water at most.
That’s how it is. Those who don’t have a well and are short of water at home can only grit their teeth and buy water to use sparingly.
Most of the restaurants and baozi shops in the town have closed down. Due to the shortage of water and food, prices have increased many times, and not many people are willing to eat there.
But there are still a few restaurants with a good background in the town, and their business is pretty good.
Sanli Village is backed by the Wuling Mountains and is not short of water at present, but if it doesn’t rain for a day, no one will feel safe using water.
The village is relatively quiet. There are more people taking a walk in the morning and evening. At other times, the sun is too hot outside, so most people stay at home.
There is another reason, which is that everyone saves hot water. Everyone has some body odor, and they don’t want to let it out unless it is necessary.
Sanli River dried up two days ago. Before the river dried up, the fish and shrimp in it had already been fished out by nearby villagers. Some of them were not discovered in time and were sun-dried to death.
Chen Li's home is at the foot of the mountain. It is relatively cool in the morning and evening, but it is really hot during the hottest time of the day at noon.
The water level in the well at home has dropped a lot, and it is estimated that it may dry up in another month.
The small pond at the back had dried up long ago. Chen Li dug up the lotus roots in it and ate them, and threw some into the space stream.
Although there are lotus flowers in the space, his is quite special. If he wants to eat lotus roots, he can plant some more.
The weather was hot, and Chen Li had to dress warmly every day. She felt like she was going to collapse.
