: Shen Youfu's Plan

(Girls' Literature)

In fact, Shen Youfu had always believed that Shen Zian still had money. When Shen Zian said that the money from selling ginseng was used to buy land and build houses, Shen Youfu didn't quite believe it. But now that he saw Shen Zian spending so much money to renovate the garden and even build a house in the garden, he became even more suspicious that Shen Zian had deceived him.

As soon as Shen Zhang's words came out, Shen Youfu's suspicion immediately became true in his heart.

Shen Youfu was very angry, and he almost came to settle accounts with Shen Zian, but Shen Zhangshi said that Shen Zian had divided the family property after all, so it was not good to interfere, and he insisted that the money was earned later, and there was nothing he could do. Shen Youfu thought of Shen Zian's profit from selling the candied haws during the Lantern Festival, and he often saw him selling furs in the town, which was also income. In addition, there was also the reward money for Xiaori and others who were boys and girls, which was also a sum of money, so Shen Zian had reason to say that the money was saved later.

Shen Youfu thought for a long time and decided that he came here to find out how much money his son had. He did this for Shen Ziju.

Because of Shen Zhu's rash, the family's money was almost gone. Shen Ziju only brought half of the money Shen Youfu expected when he went out this time. He was really afraid that his son would suffer outside. Because of this incident, Shen Youfu valued money more. He thought that Shen Ziju would have to spend two large amounts of money this autumn and next spring. Especially next spring, he would go to Beijing, which is under the emperor's feet. There are many places with money. Shen Youfu thought that he must raise enough money for him, and Shen Zian was the best place to get money.

Shen Youfu thought that even if Shen Zian didn't have money now, he would still express his dissatisfaction. This way, he would have a reason to ask for money later.

Shen Youfu decided to get money from Shen Zian for his younger son's exam fees, regardless of whether Shen Zian had money or not. He thought that since Shen Zian could get so much money in such a short time, there would be a way for him to get money for Shen Ziju to take the exam!

To bring honor to the family. To Shen Youfu, that was a big deal for the Shen family. Everyone should sell their land and iron to support Shen Ziju to accomplish this big thing. Shen Zian had no reason to refuse.

"Where's Zi'an?"

Shen Youfu didn't want to say anything more to his daughter-in-law. He knew too well how powerful this daughter-in-law was. She could easily choke back his words with just one mouth. Moreover, the food and daily necessities that she came up with that no one in their Hebian Village had ever seen, as well as those magical prescriptions, also made Shen Youfu feel that this daughter-in-law had some real skills. He didn't want to provoke her. He could go and beat Shen Zian. But he didn't want to touch his daughter-in-law.

Su Zhi said, "Zi'an is helping to build a house over there. Dad and Mom, do you want to go over and take a look? Or should you go back inside and sit down while I ask someone to go get him?"

Shen Youfu said, "Call him over."

Xiao Ri said, "I'll go call Daddy. Mom, you stay with Grandpa and Grandma."

Su Zhi patted his shoulder and said, "Go ahead. Run slower."

Su Zhi accompanied Shen Youfu and the other two to the house, talking to Shen Zhangshi and Shen Zhu as they walked. She was concerned about Shen Zhu's illness and asked her to relax after knowing that she had not had a relapse in recent days. Shen Zhangshi asked Shen Zhu to come and sit with Su Zhi more often in the future, and asked Su Zhi if she was welcome. Su Zhi thought to herself, did Shen Zhangshi want Shen Zhu to come to their house to cause trouble for her? She couldn't let her wish come true.

It was very easy to prevent someone from coming to the house, especially in Su Zhi's house. She had the Holy Beast's family here, and now there was a big gray one. They couldn't chase them away, so couldn't they let this dumb animal chase them away? She thought that even if the Holy Beast bit Shen Zhu, she couldn't say anything.

"If Pearl has time, come and play."

Su Zhi said with a smile. But she had already decided that once the garden was finished, she would start training the sharp-tongued wolves and dogs at home. At least if she made a subtle move, they would go over and scare the person she hated. Now it was certain that Shen Zhu would be the first person on the list.

Shen Zhu thought to herself that her mother was really smart. She was thinking about coming here more often in the future. Only by coming here more often can she find a way to insert a woman between her fourth brother and Su Zhi. She hadn't spoken yet, but her mother said it for her. Then when she comes here in the future, her fourth brother and his family will have to receive her well.

After entering the yard, the three members of the Shen family stood in front of the door and did not go in. It turned out that they saw two people sitting in the middle of the yard.

The two people were none other than Old Man Lan and Aunt Lan. They were feeling much better now, so they sat in the yard, basking in the sun while working.

Father Lan was weaving baskets, while Aunt Lan was sewing clothes. Su Zhi bought a set of clothes for each of them, but they had no replacement clothes because their original clothes had been thrown away. Su Zhi found two pieces of cloth of a color suitable for their age, and Aunt Lan started sewing them herself.

As soon as they saw Su Zhi coming in with others, they also stood up.

Auntie Lan smiled and said, "Su Zhi, who are these people?"

At first, both Old Man Lan and Old Lady Lan insisted on calling Shen Zian and Su Zhi "Grandpa and Madam". However, because Shen Zian and the three children were going to learn martial arts from Old Man Lan, Shen Zian and Su Zhi insisted on calling them by their names. Shen Zian did so out of respect for his teacher, but Su Zhi felt that the old couple had a secret and she really couldn't treat them as ordinary helpers.

Su Zhi said, "Auntie Lan, the three of you are my father-in-law and mother-in-law and Zi'an's sister Zhu'er. Dad, Mom, Zhu'er, this is the old man and Auntie Lan I told you about. I knew them when I was a nunnery. Their family was in trouble, and I happened to meet them, so I asked them to come back to help look after the garden."

Old Man Lan and Auntie Lan greeted Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang.

Shen Youfu has a bad temper, but to outsiders, as long as they don't have conflicts with him, his temper is not too bad. And Shen Zhang is even better at talking, otherwise how can she have a good reputation in this village? They said a few words to Father Lan and Aunt Lan, all of which made them feel at ease to stay here, and that the future will be better. Especially what Shen Zhang said, it really made people feel at ease.

Su Zhi invited the three of them to sit in the house. Aunt Lan said she would go and bring some water, because there were many people in the garden and there was no need to boil hot water, as it was always available.

By the time Shen Youfu drank the water, Shen Zian also came back.

"Dad, Mom, Zhu'er, you are here."

Shen Zian put Xiaori down from his arms. When he heard his parents were coming, he ran back immediately. He knew that his father was in a bad mood these days, and when he came, he was really afraid that his wife would be angry. Now seeing them sitting there drinking water and his wife didn't look abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief, greeted them, and sat down.

Shen Youfu looked at Shen Zian and said, "I haven't been feeling well these days. You've been renovating the garden, planting trees, paving roads, building houses, and digging ponds, but I haven't been able to help you much. I feel better today, so I came to see you."

Shen Zian thought to himself, if you came to see, why did you come in and sit down? It must be because of something else, right? But he didn't expect his father to help him, let alone care about him. He just thought about what Shen Youfu had come to see him about.

"Dad, don't worry. There's nothing serious going on here. My elder and second brothers are helping, and it will be done soon. You're not feeling well, so just rest at home. When the garden is ready, I'll invite you to come over and take a look."

Shen Zhang smiled and said, "Zi'an, we really have to come over to take a good look. I just saw it and I think if all the trees in your garden are alive, it will be full of green. And the rockery and the paths on the ground will really have the style of a wealthy family. If you plant some flowers and plants, people will think they have entered a landlord's house. You are living a good life now, and your parents can rest assured."

"I'm sorry to have worried my parents."

Shen Zian said that he always spoke to them like this, as long as they didn't push him into a corner, he would just say one sentence at a time and never said too much, but he also wouldn't let anyone argue with him.

When Shen Youfu heard that his son really didn't say anything extra, he lost his patience and thought of testing him by speaking himself.

"Zi'an, I think it must have cost you a lot of money to build this garden. Didn't you say last time that you had spent all your money? Where did you get this money?"

Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an thought almost at the same time that he was here to withdraw money.

Shen Zian had discussed the countermeasures with Su Zhi long before. He casually told them how they would make money, which was to sell candied haws, furs, and the money from raising three children as virgins.

"Fourth brother and his wife are really capable! Even without the ginseng, they can still build a house, and there are still roads, trees and ponds. Mother, I said that fourth brother is difficult to work with. You are always worried about him, but now you don't have to worry, fourth brother is doing well."

Shen Zhu said this to Shen Zhang with a smile. Her words were very cheerful but also interesting. She said that Shen Zian had the ability to make money, and also said that Shen Zhang was worried about Shen Zian.

Shen Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, I am relieved. Zi'an, Zi'an's wife, I listened to the Taoist priest and asked you to separate for the safety of the family. I have been feeling sad. Now I see that you are living well, and I am really happy."

As she spoke, Shen Zhang took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. She had actually shed tears just now.

Shen Youfu looked at her and said, "Why are you crying? It was me who made them separate, not you. Why are you always blaming yourself? Aren't they living well now? They are also blessed in misfortune. If they hadn't been separated, how could they live so comfortably? We are not as comfortable as they are!"
