After the Chen family left, Shen Wan also felt a lingering fear.
What did he hear?
The Jiang family?
Is it the Jiang family from town? He had heard of them; they were a distinguished family in Shengjing. Old Madam Jiang had come to Sifang Town to recuperate.
The Jiang family wielded immense power; not only the county magistrate, but even the prefect of Ningzhou had to bow and pay respects to members of the Jiang family.
Only then did Shen Wan look at Shen Danru properly.
She is indeed quite attractive, better than Shan Shan from the brothel.
I recently heard that Grandpa Jiang has also come to Sifang Town. With her foxy looks, she might have climbed into Grandpa Jiang's bed. No wonder even the Chen family doesn't dare to mess with her.
They really don't care about losing face.
Regardless of the circumstances, Shen Wan dared not provoke Shen Danru at this moment.
Thinking that it wouldn't be too late to settle accounts after Grandpa Jiang had had his fill of fun.
He also wanted to pin him down and have some fun; it must feel good.
For now, we can only endure it.
He was seething with anger, so he carried Chen on his back, called the Shen family, and went back without saying a word.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the villagers dispersed.

Shen Cheng was somewhat surprised by Shen Danru's desire to farm.
The last time I completed a task, the system rewarded me with the ability to unlock three types of seeds.
Spring is the planting season, and many crop seeds are planted in spring, making it the perfect time for sowing.
Although the system provides planting methods, she is not a professional. As a young lady raised in a noble family, she has never been to a field in modern times and does not know how to operate it.
As the saying goes, you'll never learn to swim if you never get in the water, and you'll never learn to sail if you never hoist the sail.
Dad is the one who knows best at this.
"How much land does Ru'er want to buy?"
"How about we buy 200 acres first?"
Shen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but Ru'er, are you buying so much land to grow grain?"
"Dad, let's not grow grain."
Shen Danru used her consciousness to search the system, and found that there were many different kinds of seeds inside. She didn't know which one to unlock for a while.
Vegetables and fruits are still scarce in this era. If we grow some crops that don't exist in this era, we can definitely sell them for a good price.
Shen Danru wanted to choose tomatoes, but tomatoes don't keep well, and she could only unlock three types, so she gave up after thinking about it.
The final decision was to plant cotton, potatoes, and bell peppers.
A few years ago, the Southern Shun Dynasty suffered from drought. Shen Danru remembered it clearly; although she was a young lady from a marquis's family, she could only eat one meal a day.
Not to mention the poor, many of them starved to death.
These three crops are drought-resistant, and if she can cultivate them on a large scale, it can benefit the people.
Cotton can keep you warm, potatoes can fill your stomach, and as for bell peppers, they're definitely for future use.
We'll unlock other seeds when we have the chance later.
Thinking about it, he said to Shen Cheng, "Dad, let's plant potatoes, cotton and bell peppers."
Shen Cheng had never heard of cotton or potatoes, only bell peppers.
"Ru'er, do you really have chili pepper seeds?"
Shen Danru nodded.
The reason why people don't think konjac snacks are expensive despite their high price lies in the chili peppers.
This type of chili pepper wasn't available in the Southern Song Dynasty; all the chili peppers on the market were imported from other countries, and their prices had increased several times over.
Therefore, peppers are unaffordable these days.
Shen Cheng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "That's great! As long as there are seeds, there's no crop that Dad can't grow. I'll go to the village headman to buy land tomorrow."
Seeing her father happy and forgetting everything that had happened that day, Shen Danru was relieved.
Having learned about her father over this period of time, Shen Danru knew that he preferred farming to doing business.
Even after leaving the Shen family, Shen Cheng still takes a stroll in the fields every day. Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Shen Danru feels a pang of heartache.
My father farmed for half his life, but now that he's away from the fields, he has no future.
“Dad, we’re buying two hundred acres of land. You can’t finish it all by yourself. Find some reliable people in the village, and you just need to supervise them while they work every day.”
Mrs. Zhou was also happy: "Don't worry, your father is still young, he won't get tired."
Laughter echoed from the Shen family home.
Shen Cheng and Zhou Shi knew in their hearts that this was all caused by their daughter, whom they had never raised for even a day.
Thinking about her other three children who were still away, she felt a little worried.
Shen Yu'an doesn't need to worry about him; he has Liu Nian to take care of him. But what about his own Yu Lan and Yu Tang? Are they alright?
As Zhou thought about it, tears began to fall.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Zhou shook her head and remained silent.
Although this second daughter is quite capable, the family that Yu Lan married into is not easy to get along with, so she must not cause any more trouble for Ru'er.
Shen Danru looked at Shen Cheng.
What's wrong with Mom? She's laughing one minute and crying the next. She was fine a moment ago, but now she's upset again.
Shen Cheng also sighed.
"Yu Yan, you speak."
Shen Yuyan remained silent.
“If you still consider me family, then tell me. We can discuss anything as a family.”
When Zhou heard the words "the whole family," she cried even more bitterly.
Shen Danru wiped away her tears. Seeing her mother crying so heartbrokenly, she felt a deep connection with her mother and was saddened as well.
After waiting for Zhou Shi to finish crying, Shen Danru spoke again: "Mother, are you worried about eldest brother?"
Zhou shook his head.
"Second Brother?"
Zhou remained silent.
"There's an older sister too?"
Zhou opened her mouth, and then nothing more happened.
Shen Danru had guessed the general idea; Zhou cried even louder when she said "family" and "the whole family."
Mother was worried about her other children.
Shen Danru had never met her second brother and eldest sister. Although she had no feelings for them, she did not want to hurt her parents.
