Chapter 174 of The Farmer's Spring: The Three Kids Are All Little Foxes
Chapter 174: The three kids are all little foxes
The selection of the Rain Goddess and the boys and girls for the Rain Worship Festival was finally completed. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, it seemed to be smooth sailing on the surface. The famous people who were invited were all invited to the reception building by Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhang, and the people from various villages also dispersed.
Shen Zi'an held Yueyue in his arms, Su Zhi led Xiaori in one hand and Xing'er in the other, and the family of five walked out. In front walked Shen Zhu, Shen Ziju and Wang Shi. Shen Zhu was very grateful to Su Zhi this time. She also knew that if it weren't for Su Zhi, she might really be squeezed out by that Niu Xianhuaer. She felt ashamed to think of being compared to such a vulgar person. Thinking of this, she naturally felt grateful to Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi just smiled and said you're welcome. In fact, they didn't go to find Mr. Zhang for her, but because of Wang and Li's love for their daughters, and for the lovely and pitiful nieces in the family. They hoped that they could get some credit and it would be good for their reputation. After all, these days, if girls want to have a good husband, in addition to the dowry and talent of their parents, the most advantageous thing is good fortune and reputation.
Thinking that her lovely nieces were so young and already had to worry about getting married, Su Zhi felt sad, thinking that the women in ancient times were really pitiful.
"Wife, what are you looking at?"
Shen Zian saw Su Zhi suddenly stop and turn her head to the side, looking at a carriage. He also looked over and felt that the people in the carriage seemed to be looking at them.
Su Zhi also felt that someone was looking at them, so she looked over, but she thought that they were sitting in the carriage. It was normal to see them if she looked outside, and there were many people here now, so it was not necessarily just them who were looking at them. Maybe everyone was looking at them, so she didn't care.
Shen Zian often hunted, and he had developed a keen sense. He found that the people in the carriage were looking at him and his wife, so he blocked his wife from the other party's sight, and at the same time glared at the carriage, warning the other party not to stare at them anymore.
Jia Yue'er was sitting in the carriage. When Shen Zi'an glared at her, her heart was beating wildly. She put her hand on her chest and thought that this man was really scary. He was just a farmer, how could he have such a strong aura? Although she was afraid, she still looked out secretly. She watched him help the woman onto the ox cart, watched him wrap the woman and the three children with the quilt on the cart, and watched him glare at her again, frowning slightly.
"Grandpa, was the farmer who drove the ox cart just now the one who killed the tiger? He seemed to be staring at us. I was scared to death!"
Jia Yue'er said to Zhang Baozhu tenderly.
Zhang Baozhu laughed and said, "He can kill tigers. He has a very good sense. Maybe he noticed that we were looking at him, so he looked over here. There is a young lady with him. How can he not be careful? If it were me, I would also look over here."
Jia Yueer pursed her red lips and said, "The one next to him is his wife, right? She's really pretty, and I kind of like her. But, Grandpa, who do you think is prettier, me or her?"
Zhang Baozhu held her in his arms and said, "Of course you are beautiful, but she is just a country woman. How can she be as charming as you? In my heart, you are the moon in the sky, and she is just a small firefly on the ground. How can she compare with you? Okay, stop being jealous, right?"
Jia Yue'er leaned in Zhang Baozhu's arms with a smile on her face. When he was out of reach, the smile on her face faded a little. In front of her was only Su Zhi's gently smiling face. Her brows were slightly wrinkled. In her heart, she was thinking of Zhao Xiaomei, Zhao Xiaomei, Zhao Xiaomei. As she thought of her, she became a little irritated and urged Zhang Baozhu to go back.
Niu Xianhuaer was very unwilling in her heart. She and her mother went to see Qiushi, but they didn't see him. They said that Qiushi was forbidden to see outsiders for half a year. The mother and mother could only leave angrily. However, when Niu Xianhuaer thought of Shen Zhu's smug smile at her, she felt very uncomfortable. She thought that as long as she had the chance, she would vent her anger.
Shen Zhu was smiling all the way. She could imagine how wonderful her future life would be. As long as she became the Rain Goddess, she would have another chance to live a life of luxury. Moreover, she could also be admired and looked up to by many people. What a joyful feeling that was.
However, Shen Zhu's joy was broken when she arrived at the doorstep of her home.
When the ox cart arrived at the gate of the Shen family, Sun happened to be there. When she saw Shen Zhu coming back with a smile on her face, she knew that she must have become the Rain Goddess. She immediately shouted happily and asked Sanlang to go and tell the good news to Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang. Then she came over to help Shen Zhu get off the cart, being particularly attentive.
"Congratulations! Sister Zhu'er can become the Rain Queen this time. This is a great joyous event. This will bring good luck to both your parents' family and your husband's family. Brother Dashan's family has been unlucky in the past few years. When Sister Zhu'er gets married, things will definitely get better. Sister Zhu'er, you will be a great contributor to the Song family. The whole family will praise you. Needless to say, you will not have to do any rough work in your life. I am so jealous of you."
Dazhu's wife and Zhao Xiaohua got off another car. Seeing the Shen family so happy, they walked up to them and said with a smile. The smile on Shen Zhu's face immediately froze.
Shen Zhu hated it the most when people talked about her marriage. It was a burden she had always wanted to get rid of. She had always believed that it could be gotten rid of. Now that she had become Lady Rain, she had even more dreams of marrying into a wealthy family. She could imagine how many young masters from wealthy families would come to propose to her after the Rain Festival. She might be overwhelmed by the choices. But when Dazhu's wife said that, she remembered that she still had an engagement. Those young masters immediately became a puff of smoke that was blown away by the wind. She felt upset.
Zhao Xiaohua was also laughing on the side. She didn't say anything at this time, but just laughing could make Shen Zhu's face turn pale and green. She felt very happy. She thought, "What if you become the Rain Lady? You will still marry a stupid and poor peasant. What's the point of being so proud? It would be better for me to become the Rain Lady myself!"
Shen Zhu looked at Dazhu's wife and said, "Sister-in-law Dazhu, you are here to congratulate me so much, why don't you find a husband for your little Hua quickly? She is not a child anymore! Stop chasing the matchmaker away. This person fits the pot with the lid. It's like this person who can't be chosen by Lady Rain is destined not to marry into a rich family. Don't dream about that. Just find someone to marry quickly. Even if you have to do rough labor every day, it's better than having people gossiping about you trying to marry into a rich family!"
Sun laughed aside.
Wang pulled Shen Zhu into the courtyard. She had just been chosen as Lady Rain. How could she quarrel with someone outside? It would be bad for her reputation!
Zhao Xiaohua's face turned red and white, and just as she was about to lose her temper, she was dragged into Dazhu's yard by his wife.
Su Zhi was a little surprised. She thought that Dazhu's wife had dared to use Shen Zhu's marriage to stab Shen Zhu just now. Why did she seem to be afraid of Zhao Xiaohua and Shen Zhu's quarrel now? Did she really congratulate Shen Zhu sincerely just now? Su Zhi didn't quite understand, but she also paid attention. Because Shen Ziju invited them in and wanted them to have lunch here, but Shen Zian refused, saying that he had to go home to see the holy beast, so he didn't stay.
Shen Ziju did not try to keep them, but Sun Shi pulled Xiaori and the other two kids aside and praised them as a perfect match, which made Su Zhijue's hair stand on end.
"Sister-in-law, we are going home, please let go."
Su Zhi forcefully pulled away Sun's hand holding Xing'er's and looked at Sun coldly. She hated this sister-in-law who would greet her with a smile and then speak harshly to her. She never treated her well, but she would always come to her. She must be the kind of person who could not be driven away without a slap in the face. But this kind of person has that kind of ability. Even though you just had a quarrel yesterday, she could still talk to you warmly if you gave her a cold face today. She could also say that you hold a grudge too much. In the end, everyone she said thought that she knew her mistakes and could change them, while you were petty.
Sometimes Su Zhi really hoped that the Third House would do something that would anger the heavens and the people, so that she could cut off all ties with them and never have anything to do with them again. But the Third House had never done anything big except for taking bribes. They were like a few rotten toads, just hating people but not biting them. It was really annoying.
Sun screamed, "Hey! Fourth sister-in-law, what am I doing? I was just congratulating you on your three children becoming virgins, and I didn't hit them. Why are you so fierce to me? We are sisters-in-law. Even if we have separated, we are still blood relatives. You can't stop my children from talking to me just because you have money. You can't be so arrogant!"
Su Zhi looked at the people who came over to congratulate Shen Zhu for becoming the Rain Queen. She wanted to kick Sun in her heart, thinking that this person was too good at talking nonsense.
Su Zhi gently tapped on the palm of Xing'er's hand with two fingers. That was the secret signal she and the three kids had agreed on. One finger meant don't speak, two fingers meant crying loudly, and three fingers meant pretending to faint. In short, it was one action for each action. Su Zhi used these to deal with some extreme people. There was no other way. Sometimes the villagers just liked to believe what they heard and saw. They would believe whoever spoke the loudest and didn't care who was right. Su Zhi was helpless as well. She didn't expect that it would be used now.
Xing'er immediately burst into tears.
As soon as Xing'er started crying, Yueyue also started crying, and Xiaori also smartly started to look sad and started rubbing his arms.
Su Zhi had an angry look on her face, but she almost laughed in her heart, thinking that she had picked up three little foxes. This was really smart!
