105: Hold on to this God of Wealth

The villagers who had gathered were about to disperse, but when they heard Old Lady Li's crying and shouting, they stopped. Many of them looked at Shen Zian and his wife, thinking how unlucky they were to be cheated by such a family this time.

"Where is he? Where is he? Where is my poor grandson? He must have been half dead if he fell into an ice hole in such a cold weather. My grandson—"

The last sound was so full of twists and turns, and when it was howled out by Old Lady Li with such a shrill voice, it really made people want to cover their ears. Even if it was a very sympathetic thing, now hearing her howl like that it felt like opera, and some unkind people almost laughed.

Su Zhi had lived in the countryside and had seen women crying, so she wasn't too surprised. It was just that she wasn't the type to cry like that, and she felt upset just hearing it.

Chapter 105 Hold on to this God of Wealth! At this time, Mrs. Li had already come over, supported by Zhao Xiaohua, but her legs were very nimble, and she seemed to walk more steadily than Zhao Xiaohua. They were followed by Liu Siniang. When Liu Siniang saw Su Zhi, she showed her a helpless look.

Liu Si Niang came back late today, and even her lunch was withheld. If she hadn't eaten with Su Zhi and the others, she would have been hungry again. She was ordered to work, and was working hard when she heard someone come to report that Tiedan fell into an ice hole. They also said that he was chased by Bai Lang. At that time, the mother-in-law was anxious, and the sister-in-law also said that it was Su Zhi who caused it, and said that Su Zhi would pay money.

She didn't want to come, but was dragged here by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Liu Si Niang looked at Su Zhi worriedly, hoping to convey some message to Su Zhi with her eyes, so that she could be prepared that she could do nothing at this time.

"Where's my grandson?!"

Old Lady Li couldn't find Tiedan. She only saw a big ice hole in the river and a large patch of wet land on the shore. She knew that Tiedan had indeed fallen in. She probably had someone pull him back home. She didn't know whether he was alive or dead. She was anxious. She pointed at Su Zhi and asked, "What happened to my grandson? Is he dead or alive? If he's dead, I'll risk my life to hold on to this God of Wealth! I won't let you go either! It was you who brought the wolf here, my grandson!"

Su Zhi thought to herself that this was another person trying to push the blame onto Bai Lang and then onto themselves. They couldn't afford to offend Bai Lang, so they pushed Bai Lang's fault onto her. Did they think she was a soft persimmon?

Zhao Xiaohua also said, "It's not too early. Our Tiedan is the only son of my eldest brother. If he is gone, how can they live? Zhao Xiaomei, you invited the White Wolf to live in your house, but don't harm our villagers! The holy beast is doing well in the mountains. You want to invite it back. You don't take our lives seriously! You must give us an explanation!"

Sister Li said, "Tiedan is not dead yet. He has been sent back home. If you are really worried about him, go see him first. Don't bother with Zhao's sister. It's useless to bring this up now."

Sister Shugen also said, "Yes, everyone says that it was the Holy Beast that chased Tiedan into the river. Who said that? The Holy Beast won't chase anyone casually. If it did, it must be that Tiedan did something to make it angry. We'll have to ask him about it when he wakes up. Maybe then you'll have to pay the Holy Beast a gift and apologize."

When Su Zhi heard that Sister Shugen was speaking from her heart

Shen Zian bowed to the people around him and said, "My dear uncles, aunts, my wife and I just came back from the town. As soon as we got back, we heard about this incident. We don't know the whole story, but we heard that the holy beast chased Tiedan into the river. I wonder if anyone saw it? Do you know why the holy beast chased Tiedan?"

Li Shi, Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui also helped to ask, if this matter is not clarified, they can't take the blame. The Zhao family is a family of scumbags, it will be very annoying if they are entangled with them.

"If anyone knows, just tell me. Weren't we all talking about it excitedly just now?"

The village head also helped to speak and glanced sternly at the group of people.

"It was Grandma Hua and her son Niu Dabao who saw it! They were the ones who started shouting."

A man in the crowd said that others also began to echo, saying that it was the mother and son who started shouting. Someone said that Hua Pozi and Niu Dabao seemed to have followed some people to the direction of Zhao Dazhu's house.

Shen Zian frowned when he heard that it was Granny Hua. This Granny was also a gossip. She had been gossiping about the Zhang family and the Li family. There was no one in the village who had not been gossiped about by her. She was the one who spread the story about the eldest sister Shen Yu. When Sun and her quarreled, she also brought up this matter, which made the Shen family extremely jealous. I didn't expect that this matter would be brought up with her again.

Su Zhi also remembered this old woman named Hua. It was when they were in the greenhouse. The old woman grabbed her hand and praised her. If she had not been experienced in the workplace in her previous life, she would have been so happy that her hair stood on end. She would have taken the old woman to heart and would have been polite to her in the future. But Su Zhi was not an ignorant person. She would not easily accept someone as sweet-mouthed as Hua. Moreover, she heard from several sisters-in-law that this old woman was a troublemaker. She would not have much contact with such a person.

Now it seems that no matter what this old lady's intentions are, no matter whether this incident was a coincidence or not, she really lived up to the saying that people are prone to gossip.

"Since Mrs. Hua has seen it, let's go ask her about it. This is a serious matter, and we can't wrongly accuse Zi'an and his wife."

Aunt Jinhua said this, and it sounded like she was on Shen Zian and Su Zhi's side.

"Let's go, I also want to go see my little grandson. This poor child fell into an ice hole in such a cold weather, I don't know if he will suffer from any chronic illness in the future. Zi'an, Zi'an's wife, you have invited the holy beast, I am not afraid of you, but you have to take good care of it. It has caused trouble this time, you have to clean up this mess for it, otherwise it will cost me my life!"

Old lady Li said to Shen Zian and Su Zhi that she was very aggressive when she came just now, not only because she was really anxious, but she also wanted to make Shen Zian and Su Zhi feel scared and guilty, so that it would be easier for her to ask for favors from them later. Now that she has expressed it, and seeing that the head and his wife are on the side of Shen Zian and Su Zhi, she has softened her attitude a little. The tone was almost like saying that if you don't pay for my grandson's medical expenses on behalf of the holy beast, then we will never let you go.

Zhao Xiaohua looked at the golden swing on Su Zhi's head and the exquisite fine cloth clothes on her body. A gleam of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She curled her lips and said, "Mom, what are you afraid of? If a dog in our house bites someone, the owner of Wangshu Pavilion will be found, let alone a wolf. Brother Zi'an's family is so rich, he will definitely not embezzle Tiedan's medical money."

Liu Si Niang said softly, "Mom, let's go see Tiedan."

Liu Si Niang was thinking that she would go to Zhao Dazhu's house quickly to meet Hua Po and then ask clearly, so that the two of them would not have to think about how to get benefits from Su Zhi. She felt embarrassed when she heard this.

Zhao Xiaohua glared at Liu Si Niang and said, "Hey, I forgot that you and Zhao Xiaomei are from the same village and you used to play together. You are on her side now. You are in such a hurry to go see Tiedan, but you don't want us to embarrass your good sister anymore, right? Are you still the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family?!"

Zhao Xiaohua's words were a bit forced, making everyone who heard it frown, thinking that Zhao Xiaohua was really being rude. However, Zhao Xiaohua didn't know that her image had been destroyed by herself.

Liu Si Niang lowered her head and said, "I am concerned about Tiedan and want to know what happened. Su Zhi is my sister and I don't want her to suffer any injustice."

Su Zhi looked at Liu Si Niang and felt touched. She thought that this woman was weak but also strong. She could be bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, but she could speak out to speak for her friend. Such a woman was worth getting to know. If she helped Liu Si Niang before, it was because of sympathy. If she helped Liu Si Niang in the future, it was purely because Liu Si Niang was her friend.

Li Shi also glanced at Liu Si Niang, then lowered his head and touched the head of the cow next to him, again and again.

Old Lady Li also glared at Liu Si Niang, then turned her head and walked towards the village.

Shen Zian asked Li Shi to pull the ox cart to his house first, and then he and Su Zhi went to Zhao Dazhu's house.

Zhao Dazhu's family had already invited Doctor Huang to examine Tiedan. Doctor Huang said that he had caught a cold and that if he was not well taken care of, it might develop into lung disease.

Su Zhi and others came and frowned when they heard this.

When Doctor Huang saw Su Zhi, his eyes lit up. He knew that Su Zhi was a doctor and that she had cured her illness and the injury on Shen Ziju's face. So he asked Su Zhi if she had any solution.

Su Zhi did not refuse at this time and said modestly that she would prescribe some medicine for Tiedan to try.

Zhao Dazhu and his wife were not at all grateful to Su Zhi for prescribing the medicine. They thought Su Zhi should do it and asked Shen Zian to give money to Doctor Huang.

"Sister-in-law Dazhu, let's wait a little while and find out what happened first before deciding whether it is our responsibility. If it is our responsibility, then we will pay for it. If not, we are sorry, but we will not pay a penny."

Su Zhi said that she had confidence in the White Wolf. The White Wolf would not chase anyone randomly. If it did, it must be Tiedan's fault. She wanted to know what happened. If she didn't find out and lost money, would everyone come to them after they did something bad and were hurt by the White Wolf? Even if they were bitten by a dog or fell on the mountain, they could say that it was the White Wolf who hurt them? She couldn't allow that.

"What else is there to check? Everyone knows that it was the white wolf that chased my son into the river!"

Dazhu's wife cried out that her son had suffered a great punishment this time, but if he survived a great disaster, he would be blessed in the future. She had made up her mind that this time she must hold on tightly to Shen Zian and his wife, the God of Wealth. As long as they could hold on, their good days would come in the future.

Then they will say that their son fell into the river and got hurt, and can't work, so he needs to be fed and well-fed, and even they, as his parents, can't support him. They will blame it on Shen Zian and his wife, and they will have to support their whole family!
