Chapter 110: Sun, you should give up this idea
Chapter 110: Sun, give up on this idea!
Su Zhi listened to what Shen Zian said. She didn't know what other places in Liangguo were like, but in Hebian Village, which was 180 miles away, the sons who had been separated from their parents would go back to see their parents as long as their parents were still alive, even if it was windy or rainy. If it snowed heavily,
Su Zhi felt that this custom was quite normal. It also taught the sons to be filial to their elders. Although she did not like the two elders of the Shen family, she would not object to filial piety. This was a traditional virtue.
Su Zhi took the cakes she bought at the market, as well as a piece of green cloth that could be used as clothing for both adults and children. She wanted to give it to Wang Huazhi. She intuitively felt that the woman was worth interacting with, and she also helped her yesterday, so it was only right for her to thank her.
Of course, cakes were also brought to the Shen family. Su Zhi also took two pieces of cloth, one green and one dark red, both of which were fine cotton cloth. They were for Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang. No matter how much she disliked the Shen family, she would still do her filial duty as long as they did not have a falling out. Some food and cloth were the obligations of a son and daughter-in-law, and she thought of it earlier than Shen Zian.
Shen Zian saw what Su Zhi had prepared, glanced at Su Zhi, and shook her hand.
It snowed heavily, and both of them put on the boots made by Su Zhi, which were filled with rabbit fur and very warm. In fact, it was not cold when the snow just stopped, but when the wind blew hard, the weather was really cold.
Just as Su Zhi was about to leave, Xiao Hei caught up with her and refused to go back no matter how she asked him to. Su Zhi thought that it wanted to go with her and that it would be good to carry it to the village to show it to others, so she picked it up and said a few words to Da Hei and Bai Lang. Then she asked Shen Zian to pick up Xiao Bai. The two of them left under the watchful eyes of Da Hei and Bai Lang.
The snow was so heavy that my feet sank into the ground when I walked on it. I walked with one foot deep and the other shallow. From a distance, the ground was white. But when I looked up, there were other colors besides white. There was a patch of green bamboo in the east. The Daqing Mountain in the distance in front of me looked black, but in fact it was yellow and green. Above me was the gray sky, so vast, with a few black dots flying by. They were flying birds.
Su Zhi and Shen Zian left the garden, locked the garden gate, and walked towards the village. They didn't meet anyone along the way, and it seemed that everyone was staying at home to keep warm.
Su Zhi and Shen Zian went to see Li Shi first. Li Shi was sitting on the kang at home sewing clothes. He was very happy to see Shen Zian and Su Zhi. He took the basket that Shen Zian handed over. Seeing the meat pie inside, he smiled and said, "I was just thinking about my sister-in-law's meal. It would be great if she could eat this meat pie and drink some wine on such a snowy day."
Su Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Shitou, if you have any sewing or mending work, you can give it to me. I'll take care of it until you marry your sister-in-law."
Li Shi teased Xiao Hei for a while, then laughed and said, "That will be very tiring for my sister-in-law. I'm still a long way from getting married!"
After leaving Li Shi's house, Su Zhi asked Shen Zian, "Brother Shi is not young anymore, why hasn't he gotten married yet? Doesn't his father help him? Even if she's his stepmother, she's still his mother, so she should take care of him, right?"
Shen Zian said: "Brother Shitou didn't let them take care of him. They made him a servant at first, and Brother Shitou said that from then on, his affairs were no longer theirs. Brother Shitou has his own ideas. When he wants to get married, he will naturally get married. Then we can help arrange it."
Su Zhi nodded. Just as she was passing by Liu Si Niang's house, she suddenly thought of the interaction between Liu Si Niang and Li Shi. She always felt that Li Shi was very caring towards Liu Si Niang. Liu Si Niang always lowered her head when she saw Li Shi. This was not like her usual Liu Si Niang. Liu Si Niang was usually weak in her husband's family, but she would hold her head high and be generous to outsiders. She would only lower her head to Li Shi. She felt that the aura between the two of them was very ambiguous. Of course, they were both very dutiful. Su Zhi just thought that it would be great if these two were really husband and wife. They were really a perfect match. It was a pity that Liu Si Niang was already married.
After crossing the bridge and entering the village, the two first went to Wang Huazhi's house.
Wang Huazhi had a dog at home. When she knocked on the door, she first heard the dog barking, then heard Wang Huazhi telling the dog not to bark. Only after she heard Su Zhi's voice did she open the door.
"It's Brother Zi'an and his wife. It's snowing so heavily outside. Why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Wang Huazhi saw that the two were stunned for a moment, but still invited them to sit inside.
There was a big yellow dog tied in the yard. When it saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, it didn't dare to bark and hid in the doghouse. It seemed that even if the wolf was small, it was still a wolf and the dog didn't dare to mess with it.
Wang Huazhi looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai and said, "Is this the cub of the holy beast? It looks really strong."
Su Zhi touched Xiao Hei's head and smiled slightly. Everyone who saw Xiao Hei would praise him like this. This little thing looked like a ball, but it was only a little bigger than when they first saw it. Xiao Bai was a little bigger than it. She thought that maybe Xiao Hei would follow his mother and become a little smaller. And Xiao Bai would grow up to look like the big white wolf and become a new generation of holy beast.
There are three main rooms in Wang Huazhi's house. As soon as you enter the room, you will see the stove with some utensils on it. There is a cotton curtain on the left. As soon as you enter, you will see the kang (kang), on which Tiedan is sitting.
"It's the little holy beast!"
As soon as Tiedan saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, he climbed up happily, but he didn't dare to go over. He just stared at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai in Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an's arms.
Wang Huazhi said: "Ironhead, call him Fourth Uncle Shen and Fourth Aunt Shen."
Tietou barked obediently.
Su Zhi said, "Mrs. Wang, thank you so much for yesterday. Otherwise, we really can't explain what happened yesterday. This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Shen Zian took out the package of snacks and cloth from the basket and placed them on the kang.
Wang Huazhi quickly declined, saying, "That's what I should do. I just asked my son to tell the truth. You don't have to be so polite. If you still give me gifts for this, who do you think I am?"
Su Zhi said, "Please accept it, sister-in-law. We have no other intentions. Just consider it as a gift to Tietou when I first visit your house. We will visit each other more often in the future, so don't worry about these things."
Shen Zian also said something.
Wang Huazhi was also a straightforward person. She didn't say anything else, just told him to tell her if he needed her help in the future. In fact, she was also happy that Shen Zian and Su Zhi could come to her house. She was a widow, and no matter how capable she was, she would still be talked about. Su Zhi was a good person, and it was known from the way she spread the kang. Moreover, Su Zhi was blessed to be close to the holy beast. She liked to associate with Su Zhi, so that she could accumulate some blessings for her son.
"Sister-in-law, I want to teach Sister Shugen and a few others how to weave. Do you want to learn? I sell that kind of weaving for ten cents each now. Even if you learn how to weave and sell it for a lower price, you can still sell it for a few more cents than other common weavings. Do you want to learn with me? If you want to learn, go to Sister Shugen's house tomorrow afternoon. I will be at her house at that time."
When Wang Huazhi heard this, she agreed of course. She could also weave knitting, but she could only weave the most common ones, which only sold for a penny each. If she could learn knitting that could make more money, that would be great.
Tietou sat on the kang and looked at Xiaohei and Xiaobai. He even reached out his hand to touch Xiaohei. Xiaohei growled at him, and he immediately retracted his hand.
Su Zhi smiled and said, "Xiao Hei doesn't like being touched by others, but he likes to play with people. When the snow melts, you can chase him. He runs very fast, but he will fall down, like a ball."
Tiedan laughed when he heard this, but Xiaohei started to whine, obviously not liking to hear Su Zhi talking about his ugly deeds.
After leaving Wang Huazhi's house, the couple turned a few streets and arrived at Shen's house. The door here is usually not locked during the day, unless there are few people in the family or there are no men. A family with a large number of people like the Shen family would certainly not lock the door. The two pushed the door and went in.
As soon as I entered, I heard a noise coming from the hall.
Su Zhi and Shen Zian looked at each other and wondered what was going on.
The Shen family's hall was in chaos, with a lot of people crowded in and engaged in a standoff.
Sanlang also said from behind Sun: "If you keep yelling, you will suffer in the future! My mother said that if Second Uncle can't give birth to a son, he will have to rely on me in the future! By then, Chunyue and the other three girls will have to look to me for support. If they scold me again, I will not care about them! By then, they will all be beaten to death by their in-laws!"
As soon as Sanlang finished his words, the room fell silent, and then it became even more chaotic than before, as if a hornet's nest had been disturbed.
Li's eyes turned red at that time, and her face turned pale, looking extremely pitiful. She covered her mouth and ran out, bumping into Su Zhi.
Shen Zigui's face turned pale. Not having a son was a pain in his heart. Although he didn't mind having three girls, he still wanted to have another son. Chunyun was still young, and he and the child's mother were not old yet. Maybe a son would come one day. This was a small hope in his heart. But now his nephew actually denied it. Sanlang's words meant that he would have no son in the future and he would have to rely on him!
Sun really wanted to sew her son's mouth shut, wondering why this child was so stupid! Looking at Shen Zigui's gloomy face, she didn't know what to say for the first time.
Shen Zigui pointed at Sun's nose, his fingers trembling as he said, "Sun! I'm not dead yet! Even if I die, it won't be your son's turn to break the pot in the future! Give up on this idea!"
Chunyue glared and said, "Third Auntie, Fourth Auntie kindly told you not to eat too many sour fruits, and you said that they cursed you. I think you are cursing my parents for not having a son in their lifetime! Maybe it's your curse that I haven't had a brother for all these years! Let me tell you, it will never be your turn to take advantage of our family!"
Chuncao stared at Silang with her eyes wide open and said, "My parents won't want a stupid foodie like you! I want my own brother!"
When Sun heard Chuncao scolding her son, she glared at him and said, "What are you scolding, you loser!"
When Li heard Sun scolding her daughter, she ran back. Shen Zian and Su Zhi had no choice but to follow her in. If they were discovered, it would be bad to stand outside and listen. (
