Chapter 169: The Request of the Eldest and Second Sisters-in-law

Su Zhi became more energetic when she heard Wang's words. Women all like gossip. In the past, Su Zhi was only slightly interested in gossip, but since she came to this ancient time, her interest has increased immediately. There is no other way. There is too little fun at this time. Only by listening to the gossips of others can she find life interesting. So when she heard Wang talking about other people's affairs, or the secrets related to Lady Yu, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Flower? That's a good name. She must be a pretty girl, right?"

Su Zhi laughed when she heard the name. She thought that the names of the girls in the countryside in ancient times were very straightforward. They were either "ya" or "niu" or "hua" or "cao". Shen Zhuyu was a nice name. A name like "xianhua" was very normal, but Su Zhi still found it interesting. She thought that if the girl really looked like a flower, then she would be worthy of the name. If she looked ugly, then it would be a tragedy.

When Wang heard Su Zhi ask this, she could only answer her, saying, "I haven't seen her, but Mrs. Hua said she was pretty. She can be selected as Lady Rain, and she is the daughter of a concubine of a landlord, so she must be pretty."

Su Zhi nodded and said, "If that's the case, then she is still confident that she will be chosen as Lady Rain. I think even if she lets Mr. Zhang speak for her, no one will think there is anything wrong with it."

Su Zhi said that this is how it is. When the levels are similar, people with backing will always have the advantage. This is called the right time, right place, and right people. This can also be regarded as a manifestation of strength.

Li and Wang saw that Su Zhi seemed to be very calm and not worried about Shen Zhu, and they felt a little depressed. They wondered if the fourth sister-in-law didn't care about Shen Zhu or didn't show it? They wanted Shen Zhu to be the winner, and they found Su Zhi because they knew that there might be twists and turns in the selection of Queen Rain. She couldn't just care about her.

Wang continued, "This Niu Xianhua'er seems to be the sister of one of the concubines of Mr. Zhang's son. This time, she is going to help choose Lady Rain! Mr. Zhang's family is rich, and they are familiar with the celebrities and scholars in the town. As long as they let them know, Lady Rain might be chosen as Xianhua'er. Fourth sister-in-law, think about it, this is unfair to other women. If Sister Zhu'er is obviously the best among them, but in the end she is replaced by a woman like this, it would be too unfair."

When Su Zhi heard the surname of this flower, she couldn't help laughing out loud. She thought, is there anyone with this name? How interesting!

Chunxiang also laughed and said, "Auntie Si is amused by the name of Niu Xianhua, right?"

Chunlan patted Chunxiang, but she just smiled at the side.

Chunyue said as she was weaving a knot: "Fortunately our family name is Shen and our names are all quite normal, otherwise if we tell them out, people will laugh their heads off."

Chunyun clapped his hands and said, "Big Teeth, Big Teeth."

After all this commotion, the worried Li and Wang also became happy. They thought that their fourth brother's wife was really a broad-minded person. She could be so happy even when they were talking about serious matters.

Wang patted her two daughters and said, "Don't be so happy. The girl can choose the Rain Lady, so she must be a good one. If she can choose the Rain Lady, even if she is called cow dung, there will be good families willing to marry her."

Chuncao said, "No way. No one wants to marry someone with cow dung. It stinks."

Yueyue also said, "Yes, stinky."

Su Zhi smiled again. Then she straightened her face. If she continued to do this, her two sisters-in-law would probably be worried to death. She repeated what she said in the main room to her two sisters-in-law, telling them that they would not help Shen Zhu openly, but they would also let Shen Zhu save face in front of the wealthy people.

Upon hearing this, Li was slightly relieved, but Wang was still worried. She glanced at Li and then said to Su Zhi, "Fourth sister-in-law, there is a difference between asking and not asking. We are not asking you to ask the wealthy people, but to ask Mr. Zhang."

Su Zhi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Speak to Mr. Zhang? I don't know how you want me to speak to him. I don't know Mr. Zhang. How can I speak to him and ask him not to help his son's concubine's family? I just heard about this and have no evidence. I'm afraid he will be unhappy if I go to his house and tell him like this, right?"

Wang said, "You may not know Mr. Zhang, but you do business with his family. I know you gave his restaurant recipes. His family's business is booming because of your recipes. I went to the town and saw people lining up. Don't deny it. I heard that everyone there ate dumplings. Wasn't it you who made them first? We all know how good you are at cooking. Only you, my fourth sister-in-law, can make the new dishes in the reception building."

Su Zhi looked at Wang and Li, and thought that they really put a lot of thought into their daughters' future.

Li saw Su Zhi staring at them without saying anything, and said shyly, "Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry. We are not forcing you. We just think that you can talk to Mr. Zhang, and we think that he will be more inclined to you than to a woman who can provide him with recipes and a woman who is not even his daughter-in-law. That's why we came to ask you. If you don't want to talk, we won't force you."

Chunlan also said at this time: "Fourth Auntie, our mother did this for us, don't be angry."

Chunxiang said, "Fourth Auntie, actually my mother and Second Auntie didn't ask you to help my sister-in-law, they just wanted to be fair."

Chunyue was silent. She was actually concerned about this matter. Although she was still young, she already knew how much it would benefit the girls in her family if a girl became the Rain Goddess. But if it made Fourth Auntie embarrassed, she couldn't say anything, because she really liked Fourth Auntie and thought she was smart and always did the right thing. So no matter how worried she was, she didn't say anything.

When Su Zhi heard them say this, the discomfort in her heart disappeared. She thought that this was all for the sake of her daughters, and that their idea was not bad and it would not cause any loss to her.

"The village head said he would take people to the town tomorrow. Now it's getting dark. Even if I go to look for Mr. Zhang tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be too late. I'll see. If it's possible, if I can really meet Mr. Zhang, I will tell him, but don't blame me if he doesn't see me."

Su Zhi thought about it, and said so. She saw that not only Wang and Li had expectations in their eyes, but even Chunlan, Chunxiang, Chunyue and other older girls looked at her eagerly. She knew at a glance that they really placed their hopes on her. She really couldn't bear to refuse. After thinking about it, it was not a big deal. She would not let Mr. Zhang give up the flower to help Shen Zhu. She just asked him not to worry about it. This was also fair to those girls who chose Lady Rain!

When Wang heard this, a smile appeared on her flat face, and she said, "Fourth brother's wife, I will go with you tomorrow."

Su Zhi thought that her sister-in-law was afraid that she wouldn't try her best, but she didn't say anything. If she wanted to follow, then let her go. Anyway, she didn't intend to fool them. She would try her best to get this done.

As soon as Su Zhi agreed to this, the atmosphere in the room became cheerful again. Seeing their happiness, Su Zhi had a deeper understanding of the level of honor of this Lady Rain. It seemed that being the Lady Rain was really a good thing. Even Lady Rain's family members were so happy to get some glory from her.

After leaving Shen's house, Su Zhi told Shen Zi'an about this matter. Shen Zi'an held Su Zhi's hand and told her to try her best, but not to force it if she couldn't.

Su Zhi learned the benefits of being a Rain Lady from Shen Zian's narration. It turned out that once a girl became a Rain Lady, she would be sought after by all families. Just like last year's Rain Lady, she married into the county town, and the Rain Lady the year before, she married into a wealthy family and gave birth to a pair of twins. And the Rain Ladys in previous years all married very well.

"So are they all doing well? And their families?"

Su Zhi really didn't believe that all the good things fell into those girls' hands.

Shen Zian said: "Even if there are some disasters, they are minor disasters and will not be attributed to Lady Rain. If a person likes someone, he will listen to the good things about them. If he doesn't like someone, he will only talk about the bad things."

Su Zhi nodded, thinking that this was right. Just like she was called a jinx before, and all the bad things were blamed on her. Now she is called a lucky person, so all the good things are brought upon her. This is the prejudice in people's hearts.

The next day, Shen Zian and Su Zhi got up early in the morning. One made breakfast and the other went to feed the cows and chickens. After they were done, they woke up the three children and let them have breakfast.

After finishing the meal, Su Zhi told the Holy Beast family who were having breakfast nearby to look after the house well, as they were going out. Xiao Hei seemed to want to go with them, but Su Zhi patted him on the head and sent him away.

Su Zhi asked the three children to return to the house and put new clothes on them. Since the three children came, Su Zhi had made new clothes for them from head to toe. She had made several sets for each of them. However, because they were in the countryside, they would always run and jump with other children in the village, and play with a few wolves, so they were all wearing cloth clothes. But today they were wearing silk clothes.

"Well, my little Rixing'er and Yueyue are so cute."

Su Zhi looked at the three little kids standing in a row on the kang and thought she was so lucky. She got sick and died but was reborn, got married, met a good husband, and had three little babies. She was like a perfect match. Her life was so perfect. (
