Chapter 239 of The Farmer's Spring and Some Fields
As soon as Su Zhi said this, all the Shen family members looked at her, as if she had said something that she shouldn't have said. This made Su Zhi laugh a little. Didn't they just want them to pay for it? Now that she said it, why did it seem like it was impossible for her to say this?
“We paid for this money.
Su Zhi said with a smile, not showing any reluctance when she said this. In fact, she had no reluctance. Shen Ziju passed the imperial examination, which was a great joyous event. It was normal to set up a banquet. It was also right to pay for it from the public treasury, and there was nothing wrong in letting everyone pay for it. I remember that it was made clear when the family was divided that for Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu, the two unmarried brothers and sisters, not only their parents had responsibilities, but also their brothers.
Since it was agreed that the separation would be discussed in Chapter 239, Su Zhi would not refuse. This kind of thing was normal at this time. Not to mention this dynasty, even in modern times, if brothers and sisters have an important event, the wealthy brothers and sisters will also contribute. Su Zhi would not be stingy just because she didn't like the Shen family to take advantage of her.
Shen Ziju passed the imperial examinations and became a Jinshi. Judging from his talent and the fact that he won the first place, it was possible. The Shen family had great expectations for him and understood how much benefit he would bring to the Shen family if he became an official. Su Zhi also understood this.
Shen Ziju was respectful to Shen Zian and Su Zhi. When they were separated, he once said that he would give some of his land to Shen Zian. He also came to help them when they were building a house. He also came to visit them on weekdays. Although Su Zhi felt that Shen Ziju was a scheming person, unlike Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui who were honest and righteous, he was still a good person. At least they had never had a quarrel.
Su Zhi felt that Shen Ziju was a normal person. For his own sake, he would stand up and do something touching at certain times. Although there was some intentional intention to make people remember his good qualities, isn't that what people do? After all, he had never done anything bad from the beginning to the end.
Su Zhi neither likes Shen Ziju nor hates him.
Shen Ziju has a bright future. This kind of future is good for their future and has no harm. Su Zhi doesn't mind paying him some money for the banquet, just as a share of the capital.
"Dad, Mom, actually, as soon as Mom opened her mouth, I agreed in my heart, but I didn't have the chance to say anything. Then there was a commotion, and I was embarrassed to say anything. I was a little afraid that my brothers and sisters-in-law would say that we had taken away their love for my fifth brother because we had money. But in the end, I realized that my third brother and his wife didn't think so, and I felt relieved that they thought so."
Su Zhi said with a smile. She glanced at the people from the third room, which clearly meant that they did not want to pay attention to the banquet prepared for Shen Ziju's success in winning the title of scholar. Then, without waiting for them to retort, she looked at the people from the first and second rooms.
"Brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, please don't compete with me and Zi'an. We still have some money in our hands, which is enough for this banquet. We will contribute money and labor, and we have done our best."
The people from the first and second rooms immediately told her that they would also share the money with her. They were talking about it very excitedly.
Seeing that the people from the first and second wives were still thinking about contributing money, Sun immediately intervened.
"Fourth brother's wife is right, if you have money, you should contribute money, and if you have strength, you should contribute strength. Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, you are both good at cooking, so why don't you help with the cooking? That's also a contribution!"
Wang said unhappily, "What about you? Are you just waiting to be eaten?!"
Sun smiled awkwardly and said, "How can that be possible! I pick and wash the vegetables, so I definitely contribute as well!"
"Water is very expensive nowadays. If I ask you to wash vegetables, you have to fetch water twice."
Mrs. Li said that she was not usually so harsh in her words and was a gentle person. She was just angry about what the people from the third room said about her daughter just now.
Sun was very angry at being squeezed by her two sisters-in-law, but she didn't show it on her face. She thought that if the fourth branch was willing to pay money, that would be better than anything else!
When Shen Zhu saw that Su Zhi agreed to pay the money, the awkward expression on her face disappeared. She came over and held Su Zhi's hand, saying, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are so kind. Fortunately, you and Fourth Brother are here, otherwise this feast would definitely not be arranged properly. Don't worry, Brother will definitely remember your kindness when the time comes!"
Su Zhi held Shen Zhu's hand, a sad look on her face, she sighed and said, "Zhu'er, I'll be honest with you. Our family is running out of money. I'm just feeling lucky that we still have some, enough to set up a few tables. Now I can show my love. If we really had no money, you would definitely not believe it and would think that we didn't give this money on purpose. Then there would be a rift between our family members."
Su Zhi cried poor to Shen Zhu. Although she said that she would definitely make more money in the future and couldn't pretend to be poor anymore, she could still pretend now. Before Shen Ziju became rich, she could pretend to be poor for a while! When Shen Ziju became an official, they would have no reason to come to them to beg for money.
Su Zhi couldn't help crying. She didn't want those greedy people in the Shen family to think that her and Shen Zian's money was easy to get. She only had money that she was willing to give, not money that others wanted to take away!
Shen Zian listened to his wife crying and smiled in his heart, thinking how could his wife be so cute. Looking at her sad face, he knew that she must be happy in her heart.
"Dad, Mom, we don't have much money at home, but my wife is willing to give it to us. Please be nice to her in the future. If I hear people in the village say that she is stingy and unfilial to you again, I will really make her unfilial to you. My wife can't let others wrongly accuse her. Since others say that, this bad guy must make it happen to avoid being wronged."
Shen Zi'an held Yueyue in his arms and spoke to Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang, but his eyes were looking at the people from the third room. He knew that it must be them who said bad things about Su Zhi.
Shen Ziping, Shen Zhangshi and Sanlang all turned their heads away and did not respond to Shen Zian's words. They knew Shen Zian very well, and if they retorted at this time, he would definitely take it seriously.
Shen Youfu said: "The person who said this is definitely not from our Shen family. We don't have people in our Shen family who would destroy the reputation of our family. There are many people in the village who are jealous of you. Go find them and stop suspecting your own family!"
Shen Zian said: "Whether it was said by our family members or not, they know it in their hearts, and you don't need to say these words here. If you say this again, I will find the person and beat his teeth out first! Don't say that I bring shame to the Shen family!"
Shen Youfu was about to get angry again, but Shen Zhang persuaded him to calm down.
"You old man, Zi'an was just talking, why are you so angry? It's such a happy day, and you still think it's not noisy enough."
Shen Zhang had now achieved her goal and didn't want to say anything more. She could see that her sons were all feeling unhappy, and if they continued to make trouble, the happy event might not be a happy one.
Shen Zhu immediately started talking about what happened at the table, changing the subject.
Sun suggested that Shen Zian bring the silver over so that they could use it to buy vegetables, meat, rice and noodles. She thought it would be best if they could receive the silver, as they might be able to deduct some of the money later!
Su Zhi was naturally unhappy and said that Shen Zian had an ox cart and he could drive the cart into the town to buy these things, so this would naturally happen.
The people in the third room were quite disappointed, but they cheered up again, thinking that they could find a way to cut down on the things they bought. Especially Silang and Wulang, they were all very happy thinking that they could have a delicious meal.
"Dad, Mom, I see that my third brother has passed the imperial examination and we can move out now! I can't let my daughter be scolded again. They are scolding us on purpose to make us leave!"
After the family finished talking about what happened at the banquet, Shen Zigui spoke. He said with a green face that he was still angry about what happened just now.
The division of the family was agreed upon before the Chinese New Year, and they were just waiting for Shen Ziju to pass the exam. Shen Zigui was just immersed in the joy that his younger brother finally passed the exam, thinking that their Shen family had finally made a name for themselves, but someone made him angry just now, and no one spoke up for them.
When Yueyue felt wronged, Shen Zhu went over to comfort her, and his third brother and his wife were busy paying compensation and apologizing, which made Shen Zigui feel even more uncomfortable. He was not uncomfortable with Yueyue being compensated and apologized, but he was uncomfortable with this kind of differential treatment. He thought that it was obviously his daughter who was scolded, so why didn't anyone comfort her or apologize to her? Later, looking at Shen Zian and Su Zhi, he figured it out. Because Shen Zian and Su Zhi were capable, they were willing to support Yueyue!
Shen Zigui thought that he had to be tougher. The only way was to move out, live a good life, let his family live a good life, and let them live like human beings. Only then would no one dare to bully them!
Shen Zigui had no son, and he felt inferior to others, but he was not desperate. Before he despaired, someone dared to scold his daughter in front of him, calling her a loser, and hinted that he would die without a son, looking down on him, and he was unhappy.
After this incident, Shen Zigui had long since woken up from the joy of Shen Ziju's passing the imperial examination and immediately proposed to move out.
"Zigui, why are you bringing this up on such a joyous day?!"
Shen Youfu said unhappily that he had agreed to his son's separation from the family and had his own ideas. He did not like his sons' separation and felt that it would bring bad reputation to the family. He thought that Shen Ziju's success in becoming a scholar would make Shen Zigui see how much the Shen family was envied by the villagers, and his son would change his mind. He did not expect that his son could not wait to jump out and say that he wanted to move out, which made him very unhappy. Welcome to your support, which is my biggest motivation. rv!!!
