217: Shen Zhu and Shen Zhang's plan
On the day of the Rain Worship Festival, Shen Zhu was not chosen as the Rain Goddess. Everyone who knew that she was chosen as the Rain Goddess asked about the matter. Although not everyone could enter Tiansheng Court at that time, there were many people inside. In addition, what happened that day was so strange that in the end, the truth that Shen Zhu did not become the Rain Goddess because she suddenly developed a rash all over her body was finally known.
From that day on, the people in Hebian Village were no longer idle.
At first, people often asked anyone in the Shen family how Shen Zhu was doing, and some even went to visit her. As a result, everyone in the Shen family was in a bad mood, and their faces were as pale as the bottom of a pot. In the end, no one asked in person, but they talked about it in private. Most people said that Shen Zhu was harmed by someone, and that it was retribution for the conspiracy between Shen Zhu and Shen Zhangshi that Zhao Xiaohua, who became the Queen of Rain, fell off the carriage. However, there were also those who said that the Queen of Rain looked down on Shen Zhu, so she temporarily replaced her, and when Zhao Xiaohua became the Queen of Rain, she found that she was even worse, so she fell off the carriage.
All in all, the reputations of both Zhao Xiaohua and Shen Zhu are not very good, but that's because their families are both well-off. Zhao Xiaohua's brother is rich now, and Shen Zhu's brother has even more. Not only is Shen Zian rich, but Shen Ziju has a bright future as well. That's why the villagers didn't spread gossip about them everywhere, and just talked about them in private for fun.
However, despite this, Shen Youfu still stayed at home and was too lazy to even go out.
Shen Zhu's illness gradually healed, and she finally regained her original fair skin, but she was in a bad mood and hid at home, thinking that people would forget about her in a few days, and when her brother passed the imperial examination, she would go out again and no one would dare to laugh at her.
I heard that Shen Zian's family was going to renovate the garden. Even the eldest and second brothers went to help. Shen Zhu remembered the scene when Su Zhi refused to help her with the medical treatment, even though Su Zhi said there was no way to cure it. But she didn't believe it. She just felt that Su Zhi could cure it. Su Zhi didn't even try at that time. This made her think that Su Zhi didn't care about her. In the past, she thought that her fourth brother's family was rich, which was good for her because it was also her family. Now she thinks that her fourth brother can be rich. But why should Su Zhi, a jinx, enjoy it?
When Shen Zhu thought about this, she wanted to go out.
Since Shen Zian's family started to get busy again, Shen Youfu has never been there once. He is still sulking about Shen Zhu, and the more money Shen Zian has, the more uncomfortable he feels. Because this son is completely out of his control, no matter how much money he has, it is not his. Seeing him live well only makes him feel suffocated. So he continues to claim to be sick at home and never goes.
Shen Zhangshi was reluctant to go out these days. Even a big man like Shen Youfu felt embarrassed, and so was she. Shen Youfu didn't want to see Shen Zian's family getting better and better. She was sad to see that the money didn't reach his hands, and she felt worse than him. After all, he was not her biological son. If her biological son became rich, she would be happy. But she was still thoughtful. When Shen Zian came, she showed her concern when she asked about him. She asked him if he had enough money, and asked all three brothers and sisters-in-law of the Shen family to help. She also sent away the children at home.
Now Shen Zhu said that she wanted to go and see how the garden at Shen Zian's house was being repaired, and Shen Zhang looked at Shen Zhu.
When Shen Zhu was looked at by Shen Zhang, she initially acted like a good sister who seemed to care about her brother's family affairs, but then she couldn't hold it anymore and lowered her head slightly.
"Mom, if we don't hang out with our fourth brother more often, he will become more and more distant from us. After all, he is not my biological brother. If we want to have a close relationship with him, we have to hang out with him more often and let him know that we care about him."
Shen Zhu said that she still had no dissatisfaction with Shen Zian. After all, from childhood to adulthood, Shen Zian would give her whatever she asked for. Moreover, Shen Zian was handsome. Among the five brothers, he was as good-looking as Shen Ziju. Shen Ziju was good-looking in a gentle way, while Shen Zian was good-looking in a cold way. Shen Ziju was talented, while Shen Zian was good at hunting and working. Although she did not value Shen Zian as much as Shen Ziju, and because he did not have the same mother as her, she would sometimes be a little cold to him, but in her heart, she felt that Shen Zian was worthy of being her brother. She also liked Shen Zian's kindness to her. It was just that Shen Zian's indulgence of her changed after he got married.
Shen Zhu thought about how Shen Zian made Su Zhi take a bath every day because of her illness, and she also wanted a bath tub, but Shen Zian didn't give her one. She thought it was entirely Su Zhi's fault.
On the day of the Rain-Bearing Festival, Su Zhi did not treat her, which made her dislike Su Zhi even more.
Shen Zhu thought that it was because of Su Zhi's marriage that Shen Zian became more and more distant from the family. If it weren't for Su Zhi, Shen Zian wouldn't have separated from the family, and wouldn't have caused his second brother's family to separate. It was all Su Zhi's fault. She thought that she must win this fourth brother back and make him stop taking Su Zhi seriously.
Making Su Zhi's life miserable has become what Shen Zhu is thinking about most.
Shen Zian's family is now renovating the garden, which is a big deal for a farmer's family. In addition to tending to the crops, building a house is also a big deal. The garden renovated by Shen Zian's family is much more complicated than building a proper house for an ordinary farmer's family. The garden in his family is too big. If it is renovated, it may be the only one in the whole village.
At this time, everyone in the Shen family should go to help, so that they can feel that they are a harmonious family.
Shen Zhu wanted to use the harmony of her family to win back some of Shen Zian's attention to Su Zhi. She thought that when there were conflicts between her family and Su Zhi in the future, Shen Zian would not be wholeheartedly on Su Zhi's side. At that time, she had many ways to make Su Zhi uncomfortable, and it would be best to think of a way to replace the fourth sister-in-law!
Shen Zhu thought viciously, Zhao Daliang's family affairs were now a hot topic in Hebian Village. Although Shen Zhu despised Zhao Daliang's abandonment of his original wife, she also admitted that Zhang Qingniang was much better than Liu Siniang. Zhang Qingniang was beautiful and had money, and was more eloquent than Liu Siniang. Such a woman was naturally good. Shen Zhu thought that men were all looking for something new, so she would first ease Shen Zian's relationship with his family, and then find a way to find a new wife for Shen Zian, so that Su Zhi would cry when the time came!
Shen Zhu didn't tell Shen Zhang about these things, but she felt that even if she didn't say it, Shen Zhang would think the same as she did, because her mother was smarter than she was.
Sure enough, after listening to Shen Zhu's words, Shen Zhang said, "You are right. I have persuaded your father several times, but he has always refused to go out. He is also upset because of your matter. You go and persuade him. He still loves you in his heart. It's a pity that your fifth brother is not at home now. Otherwise, you can let him persuade him."
Shen Ziju had gone to take the exam and was not at home.
Shen Zhu went to see Shen Youfu, and Shen Youfu was persuaded and finally came out. The three of them headed towards the east side of the river together.
As soon as they entered the garden gate, the three saw that people in the garden were working hard.
Now the garden is tidied up and looks different from before. Although it has not been completely repaired, it can be seen that it must be extraordinary after it has been repaired.
Shen Youfu looked at the newly planted trees and newly paved roads in the garden, the rockery, and the house that was being built next to it. He thought to himself that his fourth son had been saying that his family's money was almost gone. This was clearly a lie to him. If it was all gone, how could he have the money to spend like this? This son really had turned away from him!
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt, you are here!"
Xiaori was playing with Xing'er and Yueyue, with Dahui, Xiaohei and Xiaobai following him. As for the white wolf and the black dog, they went to the mountains. The white wolf went up the mountain every day. Although he was used to living here, the wild mountains could satisfy his nature as a wild animal. He always brought back food for himself and his family, and there was some left over. The furs of those animals alone could bring Shen Zian and his team a lot of income.
Shen Youfu looked at the three babies, nodded, and snorted. Seeing the three fair and tender babies dressed in fine cotton clothes, he thought in his heart that Shen Zian really had too much money to spend. He didn't even spend money on his own nephews and nieces, but was very attentive to the babies he picked up. He really didn't consider himself a member of the Shen family!
Shen Zhu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the three kids. It was not that she disliked them, but when she thought about how they became virgins while she did not become the Rain Goddess, she felt a little jealous in her heart. However, she did not show it on her face and walked over to touch the three kids' hair.
"Xiao Ri, Xing'er, Yueyue, you haven't visited your aunt these days. Your aunt misses you so much. Your aunt is sick, but you don't even care about her."
Xiaori said, "We went with Daddy and Mommy to bring food to Auntie, but we didn't go in to disturb her while she was recovering from her illness."
Xing'er said, "Aunt, you are completely cured. Congratulations."
Yueyue opened her big eyes and said, "I'll go tell Daddy, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma and Auntie are here!" After that, Yueyue ran away. She knew where her mother was, so she came towards her first.
When Su Zhi heard that her father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law were coming, she thought that they had been staying in the house since the Rain-Bai Festival and now they finally came out. She thought that since she had finished tidying up her garden, they would not show up.
"Sister, your parents-in-law are here, go and have a look. You don't have to do the work here anymore. Look at your hands, they are all covered in dust. Your hands are really not meant for such rough work. But don't wash your hands. Just go like this and let them know that you also work with your hands."
Sister Shugen said that she was also thinking about what the old couple from the Shen family came to do. She felt that it would be more tiring for Su Zhi to deal with them than to work. This was not her imagination. When Shen Zian's family built this house, the old couple only came a few times and did not help with any work. Instead, they looked around like masters and kept finding faults. This time, when the garden of Shen Zian's house was renovated, it was much better than the old house of the Shen family. She didn't know if the bad-tempered old man of the Shen family would cause trouble. That's why she said this to Su Zhi, which was also a disguised reminder to Su Zhi.
Sister Li speaks much more directly.
"Sister, you should talk more about your sufferings later, so that your parents-in-law will know that your life is not easy, but don't spend more money on them."
Su Zhi smiled and asked them to take a break. She took Yueyue's hand and walked towards the road towards the gate. While walking, she wiped her face with her hands twice. This made her look a little dusty. Her eyebrows drooped, showing how tired she was.
When Shen Youfu, Shen Zhangshi and Shen Zhu saw Su Zhi, they all thought that Su Zhi was also working, and it looked like it was quite dirty work. It seemed as if she had just been farming.
"Fourth sister-in-law, what have you been doing? Look, there are still leaves on your head."
Shen Zhu walked up to Su Zhi, took a withered weed from her hair, looked at the dirt on Su Zhi's face, and thought to herself that this fourth sister-in-law really didn't know how to enjoy life. She could obviously afford to hire someone, and she still went to work. She was a capable woman, but as long as this man had money, he would often not love such a capable woman, but a delicate woman. It seemed that her idea of placing a woman between her fourth brother and Su Zhi could be realized.
Just looking at Su Zhi's fair face, Shen Zhu thought that she really needed to find a woman who was not uglier than her.
Su Zhi smiled and said, "There is a lot of work to do at home. We have hired so many people, so we want to finish the work quickly. I will help with some of it so that it can be completed quickly. Alas, the money in this family is getting less and less. I am so anxious that I can't wait to finish the work."
When Shen Zhang heard this, she thought to herself that this boy, Mrs. An, was crying poor. Was he afraid that they would come to ask for the silver? Although she did mention the silver to Shen Youfu before they came.
Of course, Shen Zhang did not ask Shen Youfu to ask Shen Zian for money. This was totally unreasonable. When his son's family was in need of money, it would be wrong for the father to not tell him about the money and to ask for it. She just praised Shen Zian to Shen Youfu, saying that Shen Zian said that he had run out of money after building the house and buying the land, but now, only a few months later, he quietly earned money to renovate the garden, praising Shen Zian for making money.
Having said that, Shen Youfu would naturally think of the money in Shen Le'an's hand, and he would think more, thinking that Shen Zi'an had cheated him at the beginning and the money was not spent at all.
I have to say that Shen Zhang is indeed a very smart woman, otherwise she would not have been able to be a stepmother, but had a good reputation in Hebian Village. She could deceive the whole village, and naturally she could deceive Shen Youfu. She just said a few words and let Shen Youfu think along her lines. rq!!!
