Chapter 175: My mother is sick
Su Zhi was very satisfied with the performance of her three babies. She smiled secretly in her heart but did not show it on her face. Instead, she frowned and pretended to be very angry. She glared at Sun, as if she could not tolerate her children being bullied any more. She stood in front of the three babies like an old hen protecting her chicks.
"Hey, why are you crying? I didn't hit you!"
Sun was originally shouting loudly, but suddenly she was dumbfounded when she saw Yueyue and Xing'er crying. She just saw someone coming and thought about saying a few words to let those people misunderstand Su Zhi, so that Su Zhi would care about other people's thoughts and would not be so bad to her in the future. Then she could control Su Zhi as much as she wanted. People, don't they all care about their reputation? Especially a woman like Su Zhi who usually pretends to be so gentle and capable. But she didn't expect Yueyue to burst into tears as soon as she finished speaking. She didn't do anything to her, why was this damn girl crying?
"You didn't hit them, so why did they cry so loudly?"
Among those walking towards the Shen family was Sister Shugen. She held Xiaosuo in her hand and looked at Sun with a frown. Xiaosuo ran over and patted Yueyue and Xing'er, telling them to stop crying.
When Sister Shugen said this, everyone else agreed. Some of them had actually suspected that Su Zhi was being disrespectful to Sun when they heard what she said.
Although the people in the village have come to know Su Zhi in the past six months, and no longer think she is a bad luck star, but think she is a very good woman. However, they also know how she was separated by the Shen family, and they also know that the third branch of the Shen family played a leading role in this matter. They naturally think that no matter how good Su Zhi is, she will be dissatisfied with the people of the third branch, so when they heard Sun's shouting, they also suspected that Su Zhi was holding a grudge and was picking a quarrel with Sun.
Speaking of the division of the Shen family, although Shen Zian and his wife were divided, they were still divided to the east side of the river. It seemed that they were wronged, but the people in the village sympathized with them, and did not think that the Shen family did anything wrong. After all, at that time everyone thought that Su Zhi was a jinx, and if they did not divide it, it would bring trouble to the whole family. The Shen family accepted this daughter-in-law who was deceived and married, and treated her. In the eyes of the villagers, this was already the most benevolent and righteous thing. Not to mention that they also divided their family property, but the property was a little thin, but that was also because Su Zhi spent a lot of money from the family.
In addition, when Shen Zian was building the house, all the brothers of the Shen family went to help, and Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang also went there from time to time, showing their care and love for this son.
In this way, in the eyes of the villagers, the Shen family and Shen Zian and his wife are still a family with no hatred or grudges.
As for the third wife, although the people in the village disliked them, every family had such a noisy son and daughter-in-law. In their eyes, it was not too outrageous, as long as they didn't fight to the point of bleeding. After the quarrel, they would still be a warm and loving family.
This is what the farmers are thinking, and this is why Shen Zian and Su Zhi have to deal with them even after they have separated. All they can do is to have less contact with them, but they cannot stop having contact, otherwise the saliva of everyone in this village will drown you.
Because of this, when Sun yelled just now, others looked at Su Zhi with something strange in their eyes, thinking that she still remembered the grudge of the separation of the family, and that was why she was not dealing with Sun. They could not do anything about it, but they would definitely think that Su Zhi remembered the grudge of the separation of the family, which meant she remembered the grudge of her parents. Nowadays, holding a grudge against one's parents is a very unfilial act.
Sun wanted to use this to suppress Su Zhi, but she didn't expect that she just touched Yueyue and didn't even touch Xing'er, but they started crying. Now it seems that she hit the child and Su Zhi quarreled with her, so she was wrong. She was so angry.
"How would I know why they were crying? I just touched them and they started crying."
Seeing those people looking at her with dissatisfaction, Sun thought to herself, it's all over. These people have sided with her fourth brother's wife. They all think that she is glaring at her for the sake of the baby. She has been tricked again!
Su Zhi said loudly: "Third sister-in-law, you didn't hit my Xing'er, but you hit her too hard. Xing'er was crying, and I asked you to let go. What's wrong with that? Why do you say that my eyes are on the top of my head? I think you have wasp hooks on your fingers. Otherwise, why did my baby cry like this just because you touched him?!"
When the villagers saw the three children, Yueyue was blinking her big tearful eyes, Xing'er's eyes were red, and Xiaori was not crying, but was also touching his arm with a frown. They all thought that the children must be in pain. Sun said she just touched them once, but how hard did she touch them? How could there be such an aunt? Even if the children were not her own nephews or nieces, she couldn't do that! Thinking of this, several elders, both men and women, began to scold Sun.
Su Zhi watched the villagers complaining about Sun, she laughed and sighed in her heart, thinking that the villagers were simple, but they loved to watch the excitement, and sometimes they could not distinguish right from wrong. But the people in the Shen family who made her feel uncomfortable were all good at acting, even the third wife who was the most promiscuous, were good at acting, not to mention Shen Zhang and the others. Shen Youfu didn't need to act, he was a father, even if he was wrong, others would think that it was the right thing for a father to do to his son and daughter-in-law.
Su Zhi was thinking that she hoped Shen Ziju would soon become an official, and Shen Zhu would soon get married, so that they could quickly take their parents and the third branch away, only then would they have a peaceful life.
Sun was speechless and said, "I was very gentle, not heavy at all. It must be Fourth Brother's wife who made the child cry. Fourth Brother, you saw it just now. I didn't use heavy hands."
Sun looked at Shen Zian. She felt extremely aggrieved.
Shen Zian naturally couldn't side with her. He looked at her with a stern face and said, "Third sister-in-law, you'd better stay away from my wife and children in the future, so that I won't be able to explain it clearly later."
Su Zhi coaxed Yueyue and said, "That's right. There were a few kids here this time, and they knew you were too harsh, so I raised my voice to you, sister-in-law. If we adults are together from now on, it will be hard to explain if we have a quarrel."
Sun was angry, thinking that Su Zhi's words made it seem as if she had really attacked those kids just now, and that if she said that, next time she wrongly accused Su Zhi, everyone would have to side with Su Zhi. In fact, she guessed right, because this time everyone else thought that Sun was the bad guy who had just complained first, and she had a bad reputation, so next time she had a conflict with Su Zhi, most people would think that it was her who had done that again.
Su Zhi said that just to achieve this effect. She looked at the way the villagers looked at Sun and thought that the purpose of her words had been achieved.
"Wife, let's go."
Shen Zian helped Su Zhi onto the ox cart, patted the heads of a few kids, said goodbye to the villagers and left, flicked a whip, and the ox started moving forward.
Seeing that Shen Zian and the others had left, Sun was left alone to be ridiculed and mocked. She snorted and turned to go inside. Then she saw the laughter coming from the main room. She felt angry, thinking that they only knew how to flatter the little girl Shen Zhu, leaving her alone to be bullied and mocked outside. However, no matter how much she complained, she put on a smile when she arrived at the main room, and before she even entered the room, she said that someone came to see Lady Yu.
The Shen family was naturally filled with joy and excitement, and Shen Zi'an and his family were also very happy. On the way, they met Liu Si Niang, who was very happy to hear that Yueyue and the others had chosen boys and girls. Liu Si Niang had been married for several years and had no children. It could be said that, like Su Zhi, she loved these three children very much.
"Fourth Sister, your sister-in-law is not going to go home and take it out on you, right?"
Su Zhi asked Liu Si Niang. She had heard that Liu Si Niang not only suffered in the Zhao family, but also had to endure the humiliation. When Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xiaohua were in a bad mood, they would beat and scold her. Zhao Xiaohua did not choose Lady Rain this time. Su Zhi saw that although Zhao Xiaohua congratulated Shen Zhu, she was obviously unhappy. She smiled reluctantly. It was obvious that she was not angry in order not to show her stubborn temper in front of others. Then she might explode after returning home, and Liu Si Niang might suffer.
Liu Si Niang's face darkened slightly and she said, "It's okay. She won't do anything to me even if she's angry. We've been through this for so many years. She won't go too far."
When Su Zhi heard this, she sighed in her heart. The more Liu Si Niang said this, the more worried she was for her. But there was no point in worrying. After all, it was just a worry, and this was Liu Si Niang's family affair.
"Si Niang, if they dare to hit you, just tell them that you are here to help me with the chores these days, and they won't dare to go too far."
"Thank you very much."
Liu Si Niang looked at Su Zhi with gratitude. She and Su Zhi were originally from the same village and they had only played together a few times when they were children. She did not expect that Su Zhi would be so nice to her now, but she could not do much to help her.
"By the way, your father came to look for you today, and when he saw you were not there, he came to me and said your mother was sick, and asked you to go back and take care of her."
When Su Zhi heard this, she thought of that excellent family. She was a little surprised that her spirited mother was actually sick. She thought that she should go and see her. After all, she was her mother in this body, and even if she didn't want to see her anymore, she had to go and show her filial duty.
When I got home, I found that White Wolf and his family were not there. Xiao Ri and the others called them a few times, but they were no longer in the garden. I guess they went into the mountains. Now that the weather is warmer, there are more animals in the mountains, and this family always likes to go into the mountains to play.
Su Zhi made noodles, and the family ate them and took a break. Then they saw Bai Lang and his family coming back.
