Chapter 274: The Farmer's Spiritual Spring Has a Field

After the incident with Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er, their marriages with the Shen family were all ruined. If they had made a scene, it would have made the Shen family lose some face, but the two of them agreed to cancel the engagement quietly, which saved the Shen family from gossip. People only said that their family was too unlucky. Fortunately, they were discovered in time. If one married a girl from the Shen family and the other married a boy from the Shen family, and they were still entangled, they would have had a hard time. Now that they were discovered, it was God's care for the Shen family.

Su Zhi heard about this from Chunlan and Chunxiang who went to Shen Zigui's house to play and work, and said that the Xiao and Song families sent back the marriage certificates the next day.

Su Zhijue felt that these two families were really real people. She even found it hard to believe that Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er would do such a thing.

“We don’t believe it either.”

Chunlan was weaving knitting deftly with her hands, and there was no smile on her grown-up face.

"It's just that the two of them were indeed found in that place. There's no way to explain it. In fact, sometimes when I think about it, I feel that they might really like each other. You know, it was Song Dashan who rescued Xiao Ping'er from the water. This is also a life-saving grace."

Chunyue nodded and said, "That's possible. Maybe they didn't intend to do anything bad, they just wanted to talk, but they just happened to fall into the pit and encounter the snake. Maybe it was God who helped them. In this way, the two of them can be together."

Chunxiang nodded Chunyue's head and said, "You have no shame!"

Chunyue smiled, stepped back, and said, "That's what I said. We are not outsiders here, so I dare to tell the truth. Don't you think Song Dashan and our aunt are not a good match? Xiao Ping'er and Uncle Wu are not a good match either. If they get married, they will definitely not live well. You need to put the lid on the pot to match the pot. If the pot is not a good match, even the rice will not be cooked!"

Su Zhi sat nearby and laughed when she heard this. Li also laughed. She patted Chunyue twice, thinking that this girl of hers really dared to say anything. She was really a sonless person. She raised this girl to have the temperament of a son. She was really too straightforward.

Su Zhi thought that Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er were both honest people. If they had made a fuss, they could have let the Shen family share some of the bad reputation with them. But now that they had given in, the Shen family had gained sympathy from others. The bad reputation was all on them. They would have a hard time in the future. Fortunately, the elders in the family still loved them. It was just that they were pointed at by the people in the village, and it would be difficult for them to get married in the future.

Shen Zian listened to Su Zhi's feelings and said, "What's so difficult about this? Just let them get married, right?"

Su Zhi stared at Shen Zian with eyes wide open.

Seeing his wife glaring at him, Shen Zian said, "Since they have been dragged together, even if they both deny it, they might as well just get together. I think they are a good match. Anyway, their reputations have been tarnished, so let them stay tarnished. If they support each other and live together, things will get better and better."

"My husband, I find that I love you more and more."

Su Zhi looked at Shen Zian and thought to herself that her husband was really amazing. He didn't have the rigid ideas of the ancients. If it were someone else, he would have thought of making Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er never have any contact with each other again, to prove his innocence. But her husband did the opposite. This carefree idea made her like him even more. Her husband was really not a good man who was open-minded!

Shen Zian's wheat-colored skin turned red when Su Zhi suddenly expressed her love to him, but he felt sweet inside, thinking that his wife didn't blame him just now. He thought his wife just thought he was wrong. (Just arrived.)

"Wife, I love you more and more."

Shen Zian went over and kissed Su Zhi on the cheek. He thought that his marriage with his wife had its ups and downs, but now they were quite happy, weren't they? Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er had just gotten over this hurdle. If they didn't change, they wouldn't be happy. As a person who often hunted and practiced martial arts, he had a natural intuition that Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er were not the kind of people who would do anything shameful. They were innocent. So he wouldn't look down on them.

The two of them leaned against each other sweetly and talked about the gossips of their family. Although it was locked up, the happiness in them was endless.

While the villagers were still discussing this matter, Shen Zian left Hebian Village, taking his entire family with him.

Shen Zian sent Shen Ziju into the town, and then he would go to the Qian family, and then Qian Guang would go with him. Qian Guang was also going to take the imperial examination this time, and with his family background, he still wanted to enter the officialdom and move up to the next level.

Su Zhi also went along. She wanted to check out the dyeing factory and meet Liang Fu. These two businesses were her two biggest businesses at the moment. Although she hadn't made any money yet, she thought it would be soon.

Shen Ziju didn't say much on the way. He had just called off the engagement, so although he felt relieved, he couldn't show it, so he looked listless, as if he had been hit. Listening to Su Zhi's advice, he felt better. He thought that his fourth sister-in-law still cared about his future, so he must work hard to become a good person. Although there was no hope for him and her in this life, if he became an official, he could still do his best to protect her in this life.

Su Zhi met Liang Fu and went into her private room. Liang Fu told her about the progress of the business, saying that it was going very smoothly and there would be dividends soon. She was very happy and gave the design draft to Liang Fu. The two chatted for a while. Su Zhi went to find Shen Zian, said goodbye to Qian Ci, and left in the ox cart.

"Zi Ju, your fourth brother and his wife are becoming less and less like country folk."

Qian Guang watched the ox cart disappear, watched the thin figure on the cart disappear, and then smiled and said to Shen Ziju, he sighed in his heart, thinking how could such a good woman marry a country boy, he felt sorry every time he saw her, no matter how good Shen Zian was, he felt that he was more and more like a pile of cow dung, it was really a waste of such a beautiful flower. But he couldn't say this to Shen Ziju, Shen Zian was Shen Ziju's brother after all.

Shen Ziju smiled and thought that if his fourth sister-in-law was really just an ordinary country woman, it might be a blessing for him, but he would rather not have it.

The moth that flies towards the fire would perhaps rather turn into a pile of ashes than encounter the fire?

Shen Ziju thought that this was what he was like now.

Su Zhi didn't know how the two men who had just separated thought of her and her husband. She was very happy now, and told Shen Zian that the doll business was going well and that they would get money soon. Shen Zian was happy to see his wife, so he was happy with her. The two of them went to see Shopkeeper Su again, and he told her about the dyeing factory, and left her a pot of "ingredients", which Shopkeeper Su sent out.

After Shen Ziju left, the days passed one by one.

There was still no rain, and many places were without water. The wells in Hebian Village were almost dry, and only the pond in Shen Zian's home still had water. More people came here than before. Because no one knew who had leaked the news that there was a pond in Hebian Village that was not dry, and people from other villages heard about it, and many people rushed here to fetch water.

Many people in Hebian Village were angry. They understood the hardships too well. They also saw that the water level of Shen Zian's pond had dropped a little, and they were afraid that the water here would dry up. People are selfish, so they don't want outsiders to come here to get water. But people are also loyal to their relatives and friends. Many of them privately informed their relatives in other villages. As a result, this secret is no longer a secret. More and more people come here to fetch water.

Su Zhi and Shen Zian would not stop them. People in this village are people, and people from other villages are also people. Seeing that many of them came with buckets of water and begged, they could not bear to let them go back with empty buckets. The first request was accepted, and the second request was accepted. Finally, the people who came were accepted, but it was limited. The same person could only carry two buckets a day.

The Fuyuan in Hebian Village became a blessed land in the eyes of the surrounding villagers. Shen Zian and Su Zhi became great philanthropists, and finally even the county magistrate heard about it.

Because of the frequent coming and going of people, the existence of the White Wolf family was naturally noticed by others. With the holy beast and the never-drying pond, this paradise was rumored to be a paradise on earth.

The county magistrate came here accompanied by the rich man. As soon as he entered the garden, his eyes lit up and he thought this was indeed a blessed land.

Because of the severe drought, many places outside are very dry. The grass has dried up, and many trees have dried up. There are still some that are stubbornly holding on, but they are also listless.

The flowers, plants and trees in Fuyuan are full of vitality. You can see the lush green trees as you enter the door. Although they are newly planted and not very tall, they are very energetic. The flowers and plants on the ground are lush and green, colorful and beautiful. It is like two different worlds inside and outside the door.

This result was intentional on Su Zhi's part. She didn't want to be in the spotlight at first, but later she kept these flowers, plants and trees alive. Not only because this was her home that she had worked hard to manage, but also because as she showed more and more of what she knew, she realized that it was impossible to keep a low profile. In this world, sometimes being low-key does not keep you safe, while being high-profile may make others in awe.

Su Zhi thought that she should just let things take their own course. With the Holy Beast around, no one would be jealous of her home. Even if someone was jealous, she had ways to make their opponent uncomfortable.

Su Zhi had expected Zhixian's arrival. With the Holy Beast and Water Eyes, she would be surprised if Zhixian didn't come. She wanted to entertain him well.
