Chapter 103: Iron Egg Falls into Water
When Aunt Yue heard the words "Riverside Village", she seemed to be interested and asked, "Is it the riverside village not far from here, in the east?"
Zhang Baozhu saw that she was interested and said, "Yes, what a coincidence. Didn't I give you a tiger skin last time? The one who killed the tiger was a farmer named Shen, and this woman is his daughter-in-law."
Aunt Yue nodded gently, picked up a purple handkerchief and gently covered her mouth with it. The movement was very delicate. The purple handkerchief with a slight sheen made her face look even whiter. However, her lips were red because she had just eaten something spicy, like a red plum, very beautiful.
Zhang Baozhu looked at the woman and liked her even more. He gently held her hand and felt that her hand was a little cold. He said distressedly: "Didn't you just eat spicy food? Why are your hands still so cold? Xiaohong, Xiaocui, isn't it time to change the charcoal in the house? If it needs to be changed, it must be changed. If you freeze my Yue'er, I will never forgive you!"
The two little maids agreed immediately, saying that the charcoal had just been added.
Aunt Yue smiled softly and said, "Xiao Hong and Xiao Cui are fine. My hands are a little cold, but they will be fine in a while."
Zhang Baozhu said, "Why don't I have someone go find that woman and ask her to make some more meals that warm the stomach and nourish the body. Since she can make such fresh meals, she must have other skills."
"No!"
Aunt Yue quickly stopped Zhang Baozhu and said, "Don't look for her. When she comes again, just ask the cook to learn a few dishes from her. Why bother to invite her home? You love me and make my sisters unhappy. Don't cause any more trouble because of me. I will feel even worse. I want to get along well with my sisters."
Zhang Baozhu frowned and said, "Did they bully you again? Tell me who it was? I will help you teach them a lesson!"
Aunt Yue saw Zhang Baozhu standing up and about to go out. She quickly grabbed him and said anxiously: "No, really no, the sisters didn't bully me. I really want to get along well with the sisters..."
Zhang Baozhu saw that tears were about to flow from Aunt Yue's eyes, so he quickly hugged her in his arms, patted her on the back and said, "You are always so kind. If someone bullies you, be sure to tell me, and I will never let you be bullied by anyone again. You are mine, and I will protect you for the rest of my life."
Zhang Baozhu said softly that he would never forget that autumn evening with red clouds. He was sitting in a boat admiring the beautiful lake and lotus. He saw a girl in a pink dress coming to the lake. She was so beautiful and delicate, more attractive than the lotus flowers blooming in the lake. She immediately attracted his attention. Later he learned that she was an orphan who came to live with her relatives but her relatives moved away. Her family members died in a natural disaster that year. She was helpless. She immediately won his sympathy and pity.
From then on, the Zhang family had a concubine named Yue. It was almost common knowledge that she was favored more than the main wife. However, this concubine Yue was a virtuous woman who never left the house, so few people saw her. But her reputation spread, and it was a good reputation.
"Grandpa, I will be with you forever."
Aunt Yue lay gently in Zhang Baozhu's arms, where no one could see her. Her face darkened, with a hint of worry.
Su Zhi and Shen Zian had no idea what had happened after they left, and they had no idea that in the eyes of others they had become an extraordinary farm couple.
Li Shi drove the car, Shen Zian and Su Zhi sat in the car, and the three of them quickened their pace and rushed home.
Su Zhi was thinking about Bai Lang's family. When they first built the house, they thought of inviting Bai Lang's family to live in. So when they built the house, they left a door for them on the wall, which only allowed Bai Lang to pass through, but people could not enter, and it did not affect safety. So there was no need to worry about them being locked in the yard and getting hungry and unable to go out to find food, not to mention that she had left food for them. But she still missed them.
It was already 3:00 p.m. when they returned to Hebian Village. People had finished their meals and were either busy doing chores at home, or working outside collecting firewood, or wandering around. But today they didn't meet anyone along the way, which was a bit strange.
When the car reached the middle of the village, they saw people running out from a path in a chaotic manner. They looked over and saw several people running out quickly, both men and women. The one running in the front was Dazhu's wife. She was howling as she ran forward, and she ran no slower than the men.
When Su Zhi saw the look on Dazhu's wife's face, she wondered what had happened. Although she had disliked this woman before, she could see that she was really crying this time, crying heartbreakingly. She was really curious about what had happened to make her cry like this. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Dazhu's wife rushing towards her, cursing as she rushed, with her face twisted, looking at her as if she were her enemy.
"Little sister Zhao! You unlucky guy! I'm going to kill you! You unlucky guy!"
Dazhu's wife rushed over and was about to hit Su Zhi, cursing her fiercely.
Shen Zian pulled Su Zhi into his arms, grabbed one of Dazhu's wife's hands and threw her back with force. He had enough strength to stop a galloping horse, so it was very easy for him to throw Dazhu's wife back.
Dazhu's wife was thrown back two steps by Shen Zian and fell to the ground with a thud. The ground was very hard in winter and she screamed in pain.
Zhao Dazhu came over and helped his wife up, then yelled at Shen Zian with red eyes: "Shen Si! How dare you hit someone! I will fight you!" Although he yelled like that, he did not move forward. In fact, he was afraid of Shen Zian in his heart, but he was still cursing, but his words were drowned out by his wife's voice.
Dazhu's wife was crying with tears and snot all over her face. Her hands were covered in dirt from the time she put them on the ground. Now her face was covered in dirt. She didn't even know it and was yelling and cursing loudly, which was as unpleasant as it could be. Shen Zian and the other two all frowned when they heard it.
Shen Zian jumped out of the car and looked at the people who took a few steps back in fear. He said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you dare to curse me again or hit my wife, don't blame me for being rude! Tell me, what happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Dazhu's wife shouted, "What happened? You are still asking what happened? You went out to have fun! You left a few wolf cubs at home, and now they have escaped, trying to eat my iron eggs. They chased my iron eggs into the river! Now I don't know whether they are alive or dead! My son! You are still so young, and you haven't done anything against the law. Why do you have to be hurt like this? This is all because of the unlucky person who brought the wolf beast home! My son!"
Dazhu's wife no longer had the smile she had when she begged Su Zhi to buy her sour fruits, and she no longer had the fawning look she had when she went to her house for the warming wine. She looked at Su Zhi with eyes that seemed to want to tear her apart, as if she would rush over if Shen Zian dodged.
Su Zhi frowned, finally understanding what was going on.
The only precious son of the Dazhu family, Tiedan, fell into the river. Now it is said that he was chased by a white wolf, so Dazhu's wife thought that the white wolf was invited back by Su Zhi, which put the responsibility of her son falling into the river on her head. And she was labeled as a broom star.
Su Zhi didn't quite believe that it was the white wolf that chased Tiedan. To put it bluntly, it was the kind of wolf that looked down on humans. As long as humans didn't hurt it, Dahei, Xiaohei, and Xiaobai, it wouldn't pay any attention to them. Why would it chase a kid? Unless the kid did something to make it angry. But Tiedan was just a kid, what could he do to make the white wolf angry? She remembered that when Tiedan saw the white wolf for the first time, he turned around and ran away in fear. What could a kid like this do to hurt the white wolf's family? Su Zhi was very confused.
But now is not the time to be confused, the important thing to do is to go and see what happened to Tiedan!
Li Shi shouted at the side: "What's the use of yelling here for no reason?! Go check on the child first! Where is Tiedan now? Has he been rescued?"
Dazhu's wife finally came to her senses. They were informed by someone. They only knew that their son had fallen into the river, but they had not yet gone to check. They had no idea whether he had been rescued. When she heard what Li Shi said, she immediately thought about looking for her son again.
"Shen Si! Zhao Xiaomei! If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you!"
Dazhu's wife uttered a cruel word and then rushed out again. Zhao Dazhu and those people who had said nothing also followed her.
At this time Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui also ran over. When they saw Shen Zian, they said anxiously that they had heard about this and were about to go and take a look.
Shen Zian saw that only the eldest and second brothers of the Shen family came out, and no one else was there. He knew that this was his problem, and his parents were afraid that they would get into trouble, so they didn't come out. He didn't care anymore, and told his eldest and second brothers that he had just come back and just knew about this, so he went to see it.
At this time, it would be faster to run than to ride the ox cart. Shen Zian handed the ox cart to Li Shi and ran away.
Su Zhi also ran with Li Shi. After drinking the spiritual spring water and eating lotus pollen these days, Su Zhi's body became very good. She ran without getting red in the face or out of breath, and did not fall behind at all.
When we got to the river, we saw a lot of people standing by the river talking. From the crowd came the sound of Dazhu's wife crying like a ghost.
"Son, you can't just leave like this! You are my only son! If you leave, I won't live anymore! You damn bad luck! Give me my son back!"
Shen Zian and Su Zhi's hearts sank, wondering if Tiedan was dead.
