Chapter 219 It’s a pity for such a beauty to be a peasant wife

Su Zhi listened to Shen Youfu's words and thought that although this father-in-law had a bad temper, he was not stupid, especially when he was not angry, he was still quite smart. Look, what he just said was very meaningful. It was clearly saying that they lived too well, but their parents did not live well. If outsiders heard it, they would definitely think that they were unfilial and ignored their parents while they lived well. If Shen Zian and she were honest enough, then maybe after he said those words, he would feel guilty and admit that they were wrong and then offer money.

Of course, this was not the reason why Su Zhi hated Shen Youfu the most. What made her most upset with Shen Youfu was that he actually said that he separated them when she was seriously ill, and they were living well, which was a blessing in disguise for them!

Su Zhi thought to herself that Shen Youfu was really hard-hearted and thick-skinned. How could he say such words?

Just because of his words "a blessing in disguise", Su Zhi decided that no matter what Shen Youfu's purpose was today, she would not let him get what he wanted.

"Mom, what Dad said is so right. We are blessed in spite of the disaster. Although when we were separated from our family, we only had enough porridge for two days, and even the house was drafty, and the land was the worst in the riverside village, but God had mercy on us. When he saw that we were almost eaten by a tiger, he sent the holy beast to save us and gave us ginseng. God must have seen that we were so pitiful that he gave us so many blessings all at once. Oh, I am so grateful to God in my heart."

Su Zhi said this with a smile, which made Shen Youfu's family of three look a little stiff. If they were not fools, they would have been able to tell that Su Zhi was complaining.

Shen Zian held Su Zhi's hand. He thought he had wronged his wife.

Shen Youfu saw that he couldn't ask Shen Zian for money, but he wasn't too disappointed. As long as Shen Ziju went to take the exam, he would find a way to ask for money. He didn't believe that Shen Zian wouldn't give it. He came this time just to give Shen Zian some advice.

Shen Zhang quickly changed the subject. She didn't want Shen Youfu to make a scene here. There were so many people outside. If a father didn't come to help his son build a house and asked for money, he would be laughed at. Especially since she was there, she didn't want to be accused of being the one who ordered it.

"Zi'an, Suzhi, there are guests outside. They are Mr. Qian and Miss Liang. They said they came from the town."

Old Man Lan stood at the door and reported.

Everyone in the room was stunned. Shen Youfu and the other two looked at Shen Zian and Su Zhi, especially Shen Zhu, whose eyes were bright. She wondered why Qian Guang was here. Qian Guang came to Hebian Village!

Shen Zhu wanted to marry a rich and powerful man. Among the people she knew, Qian Guang was the first choice. He was unmarried, had money, was handsome, and was polite. He could be said to be a perfect man.

Shen Zian said: "Please invite them in."

Old Man Lan turned and left.

Shen Youfu asked, "Zi'an, bring out the best tea you have here. It's almost noon, prepare the meal quickly. Invite Master Qian and that lady to dinner. Why are they here? Are all the people in this family dead? They didn't invite us back, but let Master Qian come here."

Shen Youfu was thinking that Qian Guang knew Shen Ziju, so he must have gone to the old house. He must have gone to the old house, and heard that they were all here, so Master Qian came here. Although he thought it would be better to entertain Master Qian here. Because this place looks decent, not only is the food at Shen Zian's house better than their old house, but even the tea they drink is better, so Master Qian will not look down on Shen Ziju. But he also felt that if others thought that Master Qian came to see Shen Zian, it would give Shen Zian face. He had to say it out loud, so that his son and daughter-in-law would understand that they were benefiting from Shen Ziju, so that it would be easier to ask them for Ziju's exam money in the future.

Su Zhi felt amused, but she didn't bother to pay attention. She thought Qian Guang and Liang Fu came to see them, because Liang Fu had said she would come to their house to thank them, but she never came. Of course, this was not enough to make her think so. Another reason for her to think so was that Shen Ziju was taking an exam in the city. If Qian Guang and his friends came to see Shen Ziju, they wouldn't come at this time. In addition, she also felt that if Qian Guang came to visit the old couple of the Shen family, he would definitely wait in the old house of the Shen family, instead of looking for someone here, which was too rude.

"Brother Shen, Sister Shen, I came to visit you today. I didn't inform you in advance. Please forgive me for not posting a note."

As soon as Qian Guang came in, he smiled and bowed, and said to Shen Zian and Su Zhi. Then he saw Shen Youfu and the other two, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, Miss Shen Zhu, you are here too."

Qian Guang bowed to the three of them, but his words made their faces twist a little, especially after seeing the smile on Su Zhi's face, the smile became even bigger.

Shen Youfu thought that Mr. Qian came directly to visit Shen Zian's garden. He thought Shen Zian and Qian Guang had a very good relationship. Then he remembered that on the day of the Rain-Bai Festival, in Tiansheng Courtyard, Qian Guang was talking to Shen Zian and his wife and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation. At that time, he thought it was because of Shen Ziju. He didn't expect that Shen Zian and his wife had already had such a close relationship with Qian Guang at that time.

Shen Youfu's face twitched a little when he thought about how he had just lost face in front of his son and daughter-in-law. However, because there were distinguished guests in front of him, he still tried hard to make his smile not too ugly.

"Mr. Qian, why did you think of visiting Zi'an today?"

As soon as Shen Youfu said this, Shen Zhangshi felt that something was not right. Mr. Qian was willing to come and visit Shen Zian, so what was wrong with that?

Qian Guang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen and I hit it off right away, and when my aunt and cousin came here, Brother Shen happened to help them. My father, my aunt and cousin have always wanted to come here to thank you, so we came here today. To be honest, we are late."

Liang Fu also came forward and bowed, saying, "Thanks to Fourth Brother Shen for saving me that day, otherwise my mother and I would not be alive. I have always wanted to come and thank you, but I couldn't do it for various reasons. I came today, but I didn't expect that Fourth Brother Shen's house was under construction. I don't know if I disturbed you."

Su Zhi saw Liang Fu looking at her, she smiled and said: "Don't bother me, but if you come a little later, wait until the garden is finished, then we can enjoy the scenery inside the garden."

Liang Fu said, "That's easy to do. We can come back in a few days. To be honest, my mother was not feeling well a few days ago, and I was taking care of her at home. I couldn't go out for too long. Now that my mother is well, I have time to go out and get to know the family. I will have to come and bother you often in the future, Sister Zhao."

"You are welcome to come often."

Su Zhi thought that Liang Fu was not a disgusting person except that she would look at her husband twice more sometimes. She thought that her husband was too handsome and there would always be people who would admire him, so she should let her look at him twice more. A rich girl like Liang Fu would marry a man of good family as his wife in the future, so she would not have any intentions towards her husband. She saw that Liang Fu looked at her and Shen Zian with a positive look, and she didn't look like she had any bad intentions.

Qian Guang asked his servant to bring in the gifts. Shen Zian was polite for a moment, but then he stopped refusing and had the gifts placed in the west room.

Shen Youfu and the other two watched a servant and a maid taking things into the house one by one. They thought that this was a generous gift from Qian Guang and Miss Liang, and they were really too polite to Shen Zian!

Shen Youfu thought that there must be money in these things. Now Shen Ziju finally had the money to take the exam. He wanted to see what reason Shen Zian had to say that he had no money!

Shen Zhu saw Su Zhi and Liang Fu talking happily, so she followed suit. She knew that Liang Fu was also a daughter of an official family, and this time she only came to visit her relatives with her mother. If she could make friends with such a lady of noble family, it would be a symbol of status. She got along well with Liang Fu in the past few times, but she didn't expect Su Zhi to get along so well with Liang Fu. She felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do.

Qian Guang and Liang Fu talked to Xiao Ri and the other three kids separately. They were still so cute. Then they looked at the layout of the courtyard and the furnishings of the interior of Shen Zifa's house. They felt more and more that the couple did not look like an ordinary farmhand.

It was almost noon, and Su Zhi asked everyone to stay here for lunch, and Qian Guang and Liang Fu did not refuse.

Su Zhi went to cook. She thought that luckily there were always enough cooking ingredients at home, especially meat, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to cook a full meal.

Finally, Su Zhi made garlic spinach, stir-fried bean sprouts with meat, braised fish, stir-fried pork with green onions, bacon and garlic sprouts, chestnut chicken, potato pancake, rabbit meat, and sauerkraut soup, making a total of eight dishes and one soup.

Everyone in the Shen family knew that Su Zhi was a good cook, but Qian Guang and Liang Fu didn't know that. They were both surprised when they saw the table full of dishes.

Both of them grew up in wealthy families. They could not say that they had luxurious clothes and delicious food, but they grew up eating well. They had seen countless banquets, but when they saw this table of food, they still felt like drooling. When they smelled the fragrance, they thought that the food must be very delicious.

"Sister-in-law Shen is really good at cooking."

Qian Guang praised and looked at Su Zhi who came in with a jug of wine. She was wearing a refreshing bright blue top and a green skirt. Although her waist was not bound, her slender waist was exposed when she walked. She also had black hair and a white face, and the most moving thing was her clear eyes.

Qian Guang thought that such a beauty had become a peasant woman.
