106: The Conversation between Hua Pozi and Niu Dabao
Dazhu's wife yelled loudly. She had been jealous of Shen Zian's family's sudden wealth. First, it was the ox cart, and then the big house and garden. These were all she wanted, but they were obtained by this sickly jinx who she had been waiting to see become a joke. Her heart felt like it was on fire, and her eyes were burning red.
How nice it would be if all of this were mine!
Dazhu's wife thought so in her heart more than once. Her family lived next to the Shen family. Whenever she saw the Shen family, she would think of Shen Zian and Su Zhi, and the good days the couple had.
Originally, Dazhu's wife just wanted to please Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an, and get some benefits from them after establishing a good relationship with them. After all, they and Shen Zi'an were not relatives, and they were not even neighbors now. They were just fellow villagers. There was no reason for her to take advantage of them. Now she finally got the chance. What she thought about at this time was not the safety of her son Tiedan, but that this was an opportunity given to her by God to make a fortune!
"My Tiedan is lucky, but he also lost half his life. He was so young and fell into an ice hole in such a cold weather. He will definitely have a chronic disease in the future. You will have to support him for the rest of his life!"
Dazhu's wife finally told her plan, staring at Su Zhi with her big eyes. She didn't dare to stare at Shen Zian, because he had killed a tiger before. Thinking of how he had just slapped her, she was still afraid, so she naturally picked on Su Zhi, who she thought was a soft persimmon. This woman was called a jinx before, and she also invited the wolf. If she blamed her, Shen Zian and his wife would definitely be involved!
After hearing this, Sister Li laughed and said mockingly, "Daughter-in-law Dazhu, you don't just want Sister Su Zhi to support Tiedan, right? You want them to support your whole family, right?"
Zhao Dazhu said, "I only have this one son. He can't even support himself, so how can he support us? Of course, we should be included in his share."
Zhao Dazhu was just as jealous of Shen Zian's good life as his wife. When he went to the greenhouse that day, he looked at the furniture in the room and ate the delicious food that would make one swallow his tongue. He saw the food being served like a stream. Three rounds in a row. He calculated how much money it would cost. He knew without calculating that Shen Zian was really rich. He also wanted to live a life like that, with delicious food and fish every day and a good house. He couldn't let this opportunity go!
There were quite a few people standing in the Zhao family's house. They had come in during the chaos when the Zhao couple was in a hurry to bring their son back, saying they wanted to help. They hadn't left since then, and now they were stunned when they heard what Zhao Dazhu and his wife said. They thought that the couple was too shameless!
Zhao Feng had also come by then. He said, "Oh my! You two Zhaos, you are too calculating, aren't you? It wasn't your brother Zi'an and sister Su Zhi who threw your son Tiedan into the river, so why do you blame them? He's not dead yet, and he hasn't lost any arms or legs, so why should you let others take care of him? And you have to help him support a whole family? Are you still dreaming?"
Zhao Feng was good-looking and sharp-tongued, and spoke in a clear and loud voice. Although there was no mockery on his face, there was sarcasm in his words.
After hearing these words, the people who were watching the excitement also agreed, thinking that Zhao Dazhu and his wife were going too far. They were both farmers, and although some people were jealous of Shen Zian's family's sudden improvement, none of them were as lazy as Zhao Dazhu and his wife. They all felt ashamed for the couple.
Li Qing frowned and said, "Dazhu, Dazhu's wife, let's not talk about the Holy Beast chasing Tiedan into the river. Whatever the Holy Beast does is legal. If Zi'an doesn't want to pay, you can report it to the government, but the government will side with the Holy Beast. Just say that Zi'an and his wife are willing to pay, pay for the medical treatment and some money to replenish their bodies, that would be the utmost kindness. Don't be too greedy."
Shen Shugen, Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui were also talking on the side.
"You all have good relations with Shen Zian and his wife, so of course you are speaking for them! You are ganging up on us to bully us! I will not live any longer!"
When Dazhu's wife saw that everyone was siding with Shen Zian and his wife, she immediately started crying.
Old lady Li shouted, "Why are you crying? My grandson is not dead yet! If you keep crying, I will make you sick! Shut up, the matter is here. They can't get away with it even if they want to!"
Zhao Xiaohua also said, "That's right. Sister-in-law, the people who are speaking for them now are all their own people. What are you afraid of? If they want to bully us because we have few people, it's in vain."
Dazhu's wife immediately grabbed Zhao Xiaohua's hand and said, "Mother-in-law, sister, you have to help me. Tiedan is the only root of our Zhao family now. We can't let him suffer this in vain. When I think about how he will suffer for the rest of his life, my heart aches as a mother--"
Zhao Xiaohua wanted to pull her hand away in disgust. She had just seen her sister-in-law wiping her nose on her hands. It was so dirty!
Sister Shugen had been silent, but now she saw the family being so affectionate, and she said, "Auntie Li, I remember Dazhu was adopted, right? Logically, he is your nephew, and Tiedan is your great-nephew. Dazhu's wife shouldn't call you mother-in-law, but uncle. You are calling them that all the time, and it's really unfair to the deceased uncle Zhao and his wife, aren't you?"
According to the rules of this country, adopted children and grandchildren belong to someone else, and the title must be changed. Although some people have a good relationship with their biological parents and call them father and mother in private, that is when no one else cares. If people really care about it, it will still cause gossip.
Su Zhi looked at the dumb expressions of Mrs. Li and the others as they ate the Coptis chinensis, as well as the expressions of the people around them, and thought that if Sister Shugen didn't say anything, it would be fine, but when she did, it was amazing, and she was no worse than Sisters Li and Feng.
Old lady Li said, "My nephew is also a child of our Zhao family. I have to take care of him! Village head, you are here too. What do you think we should do about this? Our village has always been fine. If it weren't for this kid An's wife inviting the holy beast, how could this happen? The holy beast stayed in the mountains and never bit anyone. As soon as she invited it down the mountain, this happened. This matter is all to blame on the couple. You have to take care of us!"
The village head said, "When the holy beast was on the mountain, it never disturbed the villagers. Now that the holy beast has come down from the mountain, I think everyone has seen it these days. The holy beast is very spiritual. This time something like this happened, we need to clarify what happened, and we can't just listen to one side of the story. I heard that the first people who saw Tiedan fall into the ice hole were Hua Pozi and Niu Dabao? Let them tell us what happened."
"Dabao, can you tell me what's going on?"
Shen Shugen asked Niu Dabao. Niu Dabao was a relatively honest and straightforward person. He was not as eloquent as his mother and would definitely not tell lies. It was more reliable to ask him than to ask Hua Pozi.
Mrs. Hua wanted to say something but was stopped by Aunt Jinhua.
Niu Dabao is tall and looks like an honest man. He scratched his head and said, "I went to collect firewood and heard some kids shouting that someone had fallen into an ice hole. I knew I needed a stick to pull the person out of the ice hole, so I ran home to get a stick. When I ran to the river, I saw an ice hole in the middle of the river. The holy beast grabbed Tiedan's clothes and pulled him out. The holy beast saw me, then threw Tiedan aside and left."
When Niu Dabao thought of the holy beast, his eyes lit up. He had never seen such a beautiful wolf before.
Su Zhi and Shen Zian had not spoken to each other just now. As the parties involved, she felt that talking too much would only lead to a deepening of the conflict, so she had not spoken. Moreover, she felt that the Zhao family was dreaming when they talked, and she felt that reasoning with them was a waste of words, so she waited until they were embarrassed before she spoke. Now that the head of the village had begun to investigate the whole matter, she spoke.
"Brother Dabao, what you're saying is that your mother came out with you when you returned home? Did you all just see the Holy Beast pull Tiedan out of the ice hole?"
When Niu Dabao heard Su Zhi call him "Brother Dabao" and then saw Su Zhi looking at him with a smile, his face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, he was dark-skinned, otherwise he would be embarrassed. He also went to Shen Zian's house when they were building a house. If he had known that Su Zhi was a very gentle person and had eaten the food she cooked, he would have thought that Su Zhi was a good woman and thought it would be nice to marry such a wife in the future. He also knew that this matter today would cause trouble for Su Zhi. Now he would answer whatever Su Zhi asked him, thinking that he must not let Shen Zian and Su Zhi dislike him.
"Yes, my mother and I saw the Holy Beast pull the iron egg out of the ice hole. I didn't say that the Holy Beast chased the iron egg into the river. I really didn't say that."
As Niu Dabao spoke, his face turned red and his neck became thick with anxiety, for he was afraid that Su Zhi would not believe him.
Shen Shugen said, "It's your mother who said that."
"Yes, that's what Grandma Hua said. She said the holy beast chased Tiedan into the river, and she also said that you were the one who pulled Tiedan out of the river!"
"Yes, that's what Mrs. Hua told me."
"I was wondering why the Holy Beast didn't see Tiedan when he chased him into the river. It turns out the Holy Beast left after catching him!"
"So was it the Holy Beast that chased Iron Egg into the river?"
When everyone knew the truth, they looked at Hua Pozi with contempt, and at the same time, they were still discussing whether it was the holy beast that chased Tiedan into the river.
When Su Zhi heard that it was the white wolf who pulled Tiedan out of the river, she was even more certain that it was definitely not the white wolf that chased Tiedan into the river. Tiedan was very afraid of the holy beast at first, but later he was not so afraid anymore, at least he would not turn around and run away. As long as the white wolf had not chased him, he would not have fallen into the river. And if it was the white wolf that chased him, the white wolf would not have rescued him in anger. Wolves are smart, but they are also cruel, even the holy beast is the same.
