Chapter 137: The Farmer's Spring Field

(Girls' Literature)

Su Zhi looked at Shen Youfu's face, which seemed to be trying hard to show a gentle expression, and wondered if he felt that their fourth room was useful? Did he want to reconcile?

Su Zhi thought about it and immediately became alert. She thought it was impossible for the old man to comfort her with just a few words. As the saying goes, it is easy to change a country, but difficult to change one's nature. This biased person would not change his mind just because of one thing. So she immediately guessed Shen Youfu's true thoughts.

"Dad, anyone who has the ability will help. I don't have any special skills, but I will do my best to treat people. We are all from the same village. It's nothing."

Su Zhi said it openly and calmly, without showing any excitement because of Shen Youfu's compliment, which made Shen Youfu a little disappointed. He originally thought that this daughter-in-law would say that she came here naturally for the sake of her family. At that time, he would add a few more words, wouldn't it be a harmonious and beautiful family again? Unfortunately, this daughter-in-law is like his fourth son, like a stone in the toilet, really smelly and hard!

Shen Youfu calmed down and tried to keep his face straight. He said, "It's because of you that the Zhao family finally didn't take advantage of us. You've experienced how ruthless they are, so you know that if you get taken advantage of, you'll be in trouble. So, you did a good job this time."

Seeing that the old man kept praising Su Zhi, which was completely different from his usual attitude, Shen Zhang understood what he was thinking. She felt that his plan was right. For the sake of her children, she had been a loving mother for so many years, so naturally she could continue to be a loving mother. So she smiled at Shen Zian and Su Zhi.

"Your father is right. This time it was Zi'an's wife who made a great contribution. Let's have dinner here tonight. The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and you, the fourth brother's wife, will eat here today. Don't let the third daughter-in-law cook. You guys should cook. Make a few more dishes and go catch a chicken and kill it. Let's have a happy meal together as a family. Let's go!"

Shen Zhang smiled and gave instructions to her two daughters-in-law, thinking that it would not matter if she gave up a meal in order to win over the fourth room. After this meal, the relationship would eventually be eased.

Wang and Li responded. They were standing at the door and walked out.

Su Zhi immediately stopped them and said to Shen Zhang: "Mom, it's better not to. This is just a small matter, there is no need to kill the chicken. Why are you being so polite to us? We haven't made arrangements at home, and the Holy Beast family is still at home. They are used to eating the meals I cook. If they are hungry, I will feel uneasy."

Shen Zhu said, "They finished eating early, you should go back quickly. It won't be too late. Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, you should accompany parents to have a meal, after all, parents are more important."

Shen Zhu has now made up her mind that it will not be bad for her to have a good relationship with her fourth brother's family. Although she is jealous that Su Zhi is living a better life than her now, she may live a better life than Su Zhi in the future. Maybe she will have to rely on the fourth room for help before that. Even if she is unhappy, she has to hold them back first. So she also tried her best to help her parents to detain them.

Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui had always had a good relationship with the fourth wife. Of course, they also hoped that the family would be happy and harmonious, so they naturally tried to keep them. Only the third wife and her husband kept silent. They were punished and not allowed to eat. When they thought about not being able to eat any of the meat and vegetables on the table, they felt uncomfortable and wished that the fourth wife and her husband would leave soon.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi did not want to stay. They knew that the old couple wanted to reconcile with them. When the relationship was tense, they could handle everything with a little more force. But as soon as the relationship eased, they could no longer refuse anything. It was like a glass of wine to forget all grudges. No matter how bad the relatives and friends were, as long as they sat together and had a happy meal, they would be reconciled, and there was no need to mention the past.

"Zi'an, it's just a meal, do you want me, your father, to beg you? I told you to stay, but I don't want you to give me money!"

Shen Youfu said this somewhat unhappily, his face becoming stern again.

Shen Zhang pulled him, then with a sad expression on her face, she said to Su Zhi: "Daughter-in-law Zi'an, please persuade Zi'an to stay. Your father-in-law actually loves Zi'an, but he doesn't show it, so the two of them can hardly say a word to each other. Now that you are separated again, he doesn't want to go far away from you. He has been wanting to invite you to his house for dinner these days, but he is always busy. Let's take advantage of today and have fun together. You should stay. This is a request from me as your mother-in-law."

As Shen Zhang spoke, her eyes turned red and she turned her face to the side, making it clear to everyone that she was about to cry.

Shen Zhu immediately said, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you see, it's just a meal, you should stay and eat, don't make our parents sad."

Shen Ziju also said, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, you should stay. We are really sorry for you today. We are a family, so we should not make it so difficult to have a meal together."

Su Zhi saw that if she didn't stay, they would be considered unfilial. She thought to herself that even if they didn't eat this meal, they would have to visit each other in the future, and they would have to come to eat together during the New Year. They would have to eat together every morning and evening. It would be better to eat this meal more often. They were so stingy when they separated from her, and now they don't want to eat a meal with them? Su Zhi comforted herself in this way. She thought that she would talk about the future later. If they didn't plot against her, she would get along well with them. If they dared to plot against her and her husband, she would make them regret it!

"Well, Zi'an, let's stay and have a meal. If we go back early, the holy beasts won't be hungry."

When Shen Zian heard Su Zhi say this, he also nodded.

Shen Youfu and Shen Zhangshi both had smiles on their faces. Shen Youfu asked the three wives to leave, and then asked Shen Zian and Su Zhi to sit on the kang, and asked Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu to sit on the kang to accompany them. Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui sat on the chairs. Shen Zhangshi took out a wooden plate with melon seeds on it from the kang, and pushed it in front of Su Zhi for her to eat.

Su Zhi sat on the edge of the kang without sitting on it. When she saw Shen Zhang giving her melon seeds, she didn't hesitate to eat them one by one.

Su Zhi ate melon seeds in a very pretty manner. She picked up one and took a light bite without moving her mouth. Then the melon seed shell came off. She put the shell in her other hand without throwing it around, appearing to be very well behaved.

Shen Zhang's eyes flickered when she saw Su Zhi's actions, and she continued to chat with Su Zhi with a smile, asking her about her childhood and her time in the nunnery, while Shen Zhu also interrupted to ask her about how she met the holy beast and where she learned those fresh foods. In short, the mother and daughter were all chatting and laughing while asking about Su Zhi's background. If Su Zhi was a simple person, she would have been completely fooled, but she was not a simple person, so she naturally understood that these questions were probing, and she also answered with a smile, and her answers were flawless, but she didn't reveal anything useful.

Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu were not stupid. They also realized that they had asked for a long time but could not come up with any useful answers. Seeing Su Zhi's smiling and clear answer, they were all wondering if this was Su Zhi's real answer or if she was playing a trick on them. If this was really the answer she had thought of, then Su Zhi's brain was too good to be true. She didn't even have to think about it and directly said the most appropriate answer.

Shen Ziju was talking to Shen Zian on the other side, but he was sitting in a position where he could see Su Zhi. Looking at Su Zhi eating melon seeds and talking with a smile on her face, he felt that this sister-in-law was very different. She was not as dull or vulgar as the average village woman, nor was she as reserved, arrogant or dignified and elegant as the wealthy ladies he had met before. She was very natural and always made people feel very comfortable. She was really like a spring breeze that made people feel at ease.

"Fifth brother, isn't that right?"

Shen Ziju suddenly heard Shen Zifu asking him a question and found that several people were looking at him. His heart skipped a beat, thinking that he had been distracted by what Su Zhi was saying just now.

"Brother, I was just thinking about a question in a book and my mind was a little distracted. I'm really sorry. Can you please say it again?"

Shen Ziju bowed apologetically. He was always so respectful and polite to everyone in his family, and of course, to people in the village as well. That was why he had a very good reputation. Everyone said that he was talented and polite, and that he would have a bright future because he could get along with everyone and made many friends.

Shen Zian had actually noticed that Shen Ziju's eyes seemed to be paying attention to the woman, but he didn't want to think too much about it, and only said: "Fifth brother, it's a good thing that you are hardworking, but you must pay attention to rest. Only by combining work and rest can you achieve great things."

"The combination of labor and leisure? That makes a lot of sense, Fourth Brother. I didn't expect you to say something so frivolous."

Shen Ziju's eyes lit up when he heard this idiom. He felt as if he could always hear some thought-provoking words from his fourth brother and his wife. This was definitely not something that his fourth brother, who had not learned many words since childhood, would say. It must have been his wife who said it, and then his fourth brother learned it.

Shen Zian said: "I also heard it from your fourth sister-in-law. She learned it from someone in the hospital."

"Fourth sister-in-law, I didn't expect that you are not only literate, but also very knowledgeable. There must be a master in that nun's lair. What have you learned? There must be a book, right? What is the title of the book? Tell Fifth Brother, it will definitely be helpful to his studies. Then you must remember Fourth Sister-in-law for your great contribution."

Shen Zhu told Su Zhi that although she was jealous that Shen Ziju's words of praise were from Su Zhi, she still wanted to get something out of Su Zhi for her brother's sake.
