Chapter 168 of The Farmer's Spring has a Little Field is pushed, and Li takes the lead

(Girls' Literature)

As soon as Su Zhi said the words of refusal, Shen Youfu became furious. He had a bad temper to begin with, and it was even worse when facing his children. Among these children, he was the worst to Shen Zian, because Shen Zian was always so cold to him, which made him feel that Shen Zian hated him because of his mother's affairs. How could he allow his own son to hate him, so he became cold to Shen Zian.

Now, for Shen Zhu's matter, Shen Youfu asked Shen Zian for help. This was already something that made him feel uncomfortable, but Shen Zian and his wife kept making excuses and refused to agree. How could he suppress his anger? He just slammed the table and didn't throw anything over. That was the good thing.

"You two are such unfilial people! You can't do this, you can't do that, and it's so hard for you to do something! You really don't take me, your father, seriously! What's the use of you?"

Shen Youfu cursed angrily, his eyes glaring as if he wished to stab Shen Zian into pieces. He glared at Su Zhi from time to time, thinking that if it weren't for this woman, no matter how cold Shen Zian was to him, he was still living under his command, and he could treat him however he wanted. But now, because of her, this family split, she really didn't take him seriously.

Yueyue burst into tears with a cry. She was frightened by Shen Youfu's sudden move.

"Grandpa scolded Daddy and Mommy! You are not allowed to scold Daddy and Mommy, you bad grandpa! Yueyue doesn't like the bad grandpa anymore--"

Shen Zian immediately picked up Yueyue and said, "Don't be afraid." His face turned ugly because of Shen Youfu's scolding, but he was afraid of scaring Yueyue, so he didn't talk back immediately.

Xiaori and Xing'er also jumped down from the kang and stood beside Su Zhi, looking grim. Su Zhi coaxed Yueyue twice, then looked at them and patted their heads to see that they were not frightened. She was also very unhappy in her heart, wondering what the old man was going to do. She hadn't finished her words yet!

"Grandpa. What are you doing? Be careful, it hurts your hands and scares the child."

When Shen Zhang saw this, she felt that Shen Youfu had gone too far. She scolded Shen Youfu, looked at the three children, coaxed them a few words, and then wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Zi'an. Zi'an's wife, don't be angry with your father, he is just anxious. Your father wants the family to prosper wholeheartedly. Now if Zhu'er can become the Rain Goddess, it will be a great joy. Then everyone in our Shen family will benefit from it. Not only will it be easier for men to marry, but it will also be easier for women to get married. Your father also wants you to help say something to make life easier for the family. If it makes you feel embarrassed, let's just forget about it."

"Dad, Mom, please don't worry about your daughter. I don't believe that I can't be the Rain Queen with my real ability!"

Shen Zhu went over to the kang and held Shen Zhang's hand, her eyes reddened. She sniffed and threw out another string of words.

"It's actually okay that I can't be the Rain Lady. It's just a pity that I can't bring blessings to my family and my nephews and nieces can't benefit from it. Well, I think if the three children of my fourth brother were to be virgins, they would also bring blessings."

Su Zhi saw this situation. Why did it seem that if they didn't agree, this family would lose their blessing? Especially the last sentence, as if they were only speaking for their three children and didn't plead for her. Why did it sound so awkward?

Su Zhi listened to the quiet voices outside, wondering how many people were lying outside and listening. Anyway, what they said would definitely be known to everyone in the family. She felt that what Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu said was vague, saying that if they did not agree to help Shen Zhu to intercede, it would mean that they would not care about everyone in the Shen family. What about those people who were listening outside? They must have thought the same thing.

Alas, if the couple disagrees, then the entire Shen family might be offended.

Su Zhijue's Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu are really good at talking.

"Dad, Mom, I haven't finished what I just said. I don't agree. There must be a reason. If you think it's unreasonable, then I will do as you say and go to the rich man to plead for mercy. If you think it's reasonable, then you can't be angry with me and Zi'an anymore."

Su Zhi was angry, but she was too lazy to deal with him rudely like Shen Youfu, and even more lazy to act pitiful like the mother and daughter. She just wanted to put forward her reasons here and see what they decided!

Seeing Su Zhi being scolded like that but still remaining neither humble nor arrogant, Shen Ziju admired her even more. Then he looked at Shen Zian and saw that he also had a nonchalant expression. He thought that these two were really a couple.

"Dad, Mom, don't be angry or sad. Listen to what Fourth Sister-in-law thinks. I think Fourth Sister-in-law must have her reasons."

Shen Youfu said with a serious face: "Let her speak!"

Su Zhi smiled at Shen Ziju, and then said, "Ziju and Zhu'er have both been to Mr. Qian's house, and my fifth brother is also friends with Mr. Qian. I think Mr. Qian is also very polite to Ziju. In his heart, Ziju is a pure scholar, and he thinks highly of Ziju. If we tell him about this, it might affect the image of Ziju in his mind. And if we don't tell him, maybe Mr. Qian will take the initiative to take a liking to Zhu'er for the sake of Ziju and us."

Shen Ziju thought Su Zhi's words made sense. He naturally hoped that his sister could become the Rain Queen, which would bring glory to himself. However, if his reputation was affected, he would feel uncomfortable. Now that Su Zhi had proposed it, he could still oppose it, which he thought was great.

When Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang heard this, they thought it made sense. In their hearts, although Shen Zhu's role as Rain Goddess was important, Shen Ziju's image in other people's hearts was more important.

Shen Zhang patted her daughter's hand, and then said to Shen Youfu: "Master, I think what Zi'an's wife said makes sense. Otherwise, don't let them go and talk to Mr. Qian."

Although Shen Youfu felt that Su Zhi was right, he got angry again when he thought about how he didn't ask the reason clearly just now. Now he had to agree with them, which made him feel uncomfortable. He just hummed and stopped talking.

Shen Zhu was disappointed, but she said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, let's just leave it to fate."

Shen Zhang said to Shen Zi'an, "Zi'an, you don't have to say much tomorrow, but spend more time with Zhu'er and bring Xiaori and the others with you."

Su Zhi thought that Shen Zhang wanted to let Qian Dahu see Xiao Ri and the others so that he could tell others about the kidnapper incident. Then he and others would naturally have an impression of Shen Zhu who went with them, and think that the girl of a family who helped catch the kidnapper and raised the kidnapped child must be a good person, and then maybe they would all choose Shen Zhu. Shen Zhang was really smart.

Shen Zian nodded in agreement.

When I left the upper room, I didn't see anyone outside, but when I heard the footsteps just now, I knew that the people who had been listening at the window must have run back into the house.

Shen Ziju went back to his room to study, and bowed to Shen Zian and Su Zhi to say goodbye. Su Zhi followed Shen Zian and said a few words of concern to him, asking him not to get too tired. Shen Ziju smiled and agreed, then turned around and went back to the room.

While they were talking, Yueyue had already gone to the second room to play with Chunyun and Chuncao. These little girls were of similar age and could play together. Dalang and Erlang called Xiaori and Xing'er over and talked to them.

"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt."

Dalang and Erlang called the two together. Shen Zian and Su Zhi answered. Dalang and Erlang called Shen Zian to their room, saying that their second uncle and their father were there and asked him to talk. Chunlan invited Su Zhi to come in from the second room. The couple looked at each other and followed the person who called them.

As soon as Su Zhi entered the second room, she saw Wang and Li sitting inside, with the girls from both families beside them. Wang was sewing shoe soles. Li and Chunyue were weaving silk. Chunlan and Chunxiang were learning embroidery.

Su Zhi smiled secretly, thinking that Li was now in control of her own finances, busy weaving to make money, while Wang's mother and daughter could only make things for their own use, because even if they made money from weaving and selling the weaving, they had to hand it over. So even if they wanted to weave, they would do it behind closed doors in their rooms, and would not do it in a situation where people could see them. She was happy for Li and depressed for the eldest wife's life, but she thought it was the eldest wife's own choice, and they just wanted to take advantage of Shen Ziju!

"Fourth brother's wife, come and sit down."

Li called Su Zhi over to sit next to her.

Chunlan and the others had already stood up and moved the edge of the kang aside for Su Zhi to sit on.

"No, I'll just sit here."

Su Zhi sat down on a bench. The weather was not as cold as in winter, so she didn't feel too cold.

Yueyue said to Su Zhi, "Mom, come and sit here with me. It's warm here."

Su Zhi smiled and said, "Mom is not cold, you guys can play."

Yueyue and a few others were sitting on the kang playing with flower ropes. They were gathered together and having a lot of fun playing with such a small toy.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you can help Zhu'er become the Rain Queen." Li spoke first, "You may think that as long as Zhu'er is the best woman this time, she can become the Rain Queen, but that's not the case."

Li took the initiative this time because she had three daughters at home. She also thought that if Shen Zhu became the Rain Queen, it would also be good for her three daughters, so she came to ask Su Zhi for Shen Zhu.

Su Zhi was not angry when she heard what Li said. She asked, "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Is it really not possible for someone else to buy the position of Lady Rain by using favors or money?"

Wang said, "That's right. To be honest, my second brother and his wife and I heard about this. We heard what Grandma Hua said the other day. She said there was a girl named Xian Huaer in Dashan Village. Her family was related to Mr. Zhang's family."
