Chapter 295 Snake, lively

Mrs. Hua nodded blankly. She regretted it so much in her heart. If she had known that the vegetable was poisonous, she would definitely not have washed it only once because she felt sorry for the water. No, she would definitely not eat that wild vegetable!

"It's because you only washed it once, so the vegetables were not cleaned properly and some poison remained on them. If you ate them,..."

Su Zhi said, thinking in her heart that this old lady Hua was so unlucky. Things like this are so rare, one chance in ten thousand, and she actually got to happen to her. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise it would be so unfair. Of course, Wang Huazhi was the most wronged.

"Having said so much, it seems that these are all your guesses, right? Who knows whether these wilted vegetables are poisonous?"

Amidst the discussions, a somewhat harsh voice emerged; it was that of Dazhu's wife.

Dazhu's wife hated Su Zhi to death now. If she had only felt a little hatred for Su Zhi in the past because of jealousy, and she had to flatter Su Zhi from time to time on the surface in order to get benefits from her, now she hated Su Zhi from the bottom of her heart. Because of the refugee issue, Su Zhi's conditions made her lose too much. One hundred taels of silver, she felt distressed just thinking about it, and they also forbade their Zhao family and their Shen family to have any contact, which made their Zhao family lose all their face. People in the village now rolled their eyes when they saw them, which was really aggrieved. Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang were also unwilling to give them one hundred taels of silver for nothing because of this matter. In the end, they were given the silver only after Zhao Daliang and his wife asked them to go to their house less often in the future. It was not given for free, but borrowed, with a receipt!

One hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money for an ordinary farmer, and no one knows when they can earn the money.

Dazhu's wife knew that as long as the loan note for the 100 taels of silver existed, Zhao Daliang and his wife would have a reason to ignore their affairs in the future. At least if they wanted the silver again, that would be impossible.

How could this not make Dazhu's wife dislike Shen Zian and Su Zhi?

Dazhu's wife thought that since Shen Zian had already said that he would not associate with the Zhao family, she would not care about the relationship. But when she heard Su Zhi showing off in front of the county magistrate and those rich people, she became jealous and wanted to make trouble for her. Anyway, what she said was right.

"Zi'an's wife, you said there was a snake, why don't you get it out? If you can't get it out, you're just guessing. What does that count for?"

Dazhu's wife looked at Su Zhi with provocation in her eyes, but she did not move forward. She did not dare to go to the county magistrate. After all, she was just a country woman.

Su Zhi looked at Dazhu's wife and thought that this person was really haunting her. It seemed that she was stimulated by the fine of 100 taels. She was not angry, but felt relieved. She thought that Dazhu's wife had asked for it. As for her little attack just now, she didn't care at all. She had a way to solve it.

The people watching nearby also agreed with what Dazhu's wife said. It seemed a little unbelievable to say that a few wilted vegetables were poisonous. They looked at Su Zhi, wondering what she would say.

Shen Zian glanced at Dazhu's wife coldly and said, "Isn't it easy to prove whether it is poisonous or not? Just try it and you will know."

Shen Zian actually believed what Su Zhi said. He often walked in the mountains and forests, so he knew that some plants would have poisonous snake venom. Some venom would lose its effect quickly, while others would last longer. His wife was sure that she could think of this.

Su Zhi glanced at Shen Zian and thought that this was the good thing about her husband. He usually let her show off in front of others, but he would definitely protect her when she was bullied. He always let her feel his love all the time. He was such a good husband. If it wasn't in front of others, she would have gone over to give him a reward.

"Husband, I'm going to go over there. Please help me look behind the stone. I'm worried that there may be a snake behind the stone."

Su Zhi told Shen Zian that she was going to pick those wild vegetables to see if they were poisonous. However, she thought that there might be snake venom on the wild vegetables, so there might be poisonous snakes nearby, and under those big rocks was the most likely place. It is better to be safe than sorry. She was not afraid of snakes, but she was afraid of poisonous snakes.

As soon as Su Zhi finished her words, all the people who had been surrounding her so closely retreated back.

Mrs. Hua was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She had been picking wild vegetables here for half a day. What if there was a poisonous snake down there? Wouldn't she have almost been bitten by it? !

Shen Zian frowned and said, "I'll go over and pick the vegetables. You don't have to go over there."

Shen Zian walked over as he spoke. He carefully looked behind the stone and quickly picked up a few wilted wild vegetables. These few were enough if he wanted to see if they were poisonous.

Su Zhi wanted to take the wild vegetables, but Shen Zian refused to give them to her. Su Zhi could only call out, and someone handed her a chicken. Su Zhi had someone bring it over just now. She had suspected this a long time ago, so she was prepared. Shen Zian let the chicken eat the wild vegetables directly.

Everyone was looking at the chicken, and sure enough, after a while, the chicken started moving around like it had gone crazy, and then it became motionless, clearly having died of poisoning.

"It is indeed so! Madam Shen is really insightful!"

The county magistrate clapped his hands in praise, thinking that the lady of the Shen family was indeed extraordinary. With this kind of intelligence, if she were a man, she would definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and become a good official who can solve cases like a god! Even if she is a woman now, she is extraordinary. She can go from being a small peasant woman to doing business. She is so humble and not humble. She has won the favor of the Holy Beast and even the prefect. In the future, maybe even the current emperor will hear of her name. After all, with the Holy Beast by her side, it is not difficult for the emperor to hear of her!

The county magistrate thought so and praised Su Zhi even more vigorously.

Rich man Zhang and other wealthy people also followed suit and praised. They were all sincere in their words. They really found today's incident very interesting. If it were them, they might not be able to react as quickly as Su Zhi, and there was a chance that an injustice would be committed!

Wang Huazhi pulled Tietou over and thanked Su Zhi. She was so happy now. She was finally cleared of suspicion. It was really thanks to Su Zhi.

"Thank you so much, sister! If you need my help in the future, just say it, I will do it for you even if it costs my life!"

"You are too polite, sister-in-law. This is just a hand-raising prison."

Su Zhi supported Wang Huazhi. She was happy to help her. In this era, being a woman was really difficult, especially being a widow. She would help as much as she could.

Tietou followed his mother to thank Su Zhi, and his face turned red when Su Zhi touched his head. Looking at Yueyue, he thought that Yueyue's mother was so kind, no wonder Yueyue was so kind too.

"Auntie Hua, look. Now it's proven that your poisoning has nothing to do with Auntie Wang, so don't blame her. We are all good folks, so let's get along with each other in the future!"

Su Zhi told the flower lady beside her that she also noticed the slight ambiguity between Niu Dabao and Wang Huazhi, and although she felt that it seemed a little difficult, she thought it would be a good thing if they could be together, and she didn't mind helping them clear some obstacles.

Hua Pozi's face was even worse than before. She was embarrassed. She didn't expect that all the trouble she had made was just a misunderstanding. Seeing the way people looked at her and talked about her, even if she was thick-skinned, she felt that she had nowhere to hide. When Su Zhi asked a question, she could only reply awkwardly.

"Yes. Zi'an's wife is right. This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Niu Dabao was the happiest at this moment. He was really worried about Wang Huazhi just now, but now that Wang Huazhi was finally proven innocent, he was happier than Wang Huazhi. He supported his mother and said loudly: "Mom, you said there must be some misunderstanding. Sister Wang would not be that kind of person! You didn't believe it yet! Do you believe it now? Why don't you apologize to Sister Wang!"

Mrs. Hua's face flushed. She really wanted to kick her son. Was he still her son? He actually asked her to apologize to someone else!

Su Zhi was also very happy, wondering how a thoughtful person like Hua Pozi could give birth to a simple and honest son like Niu Dabao. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. She quickly moved Wang Huazhi behind her, thinking that no matter whether Wang Huazhi didn't want to offend Hua Pozi or wanted to get closer to Niu Dabao in the future, she had to show it now.

Wang Huazhi said, "No need, this is just a misunderstanding. I think Auntie Hua was just frightened. We are all from the same village, so she definitely didn't mean it."

Mrs. Hua glanced at Wang Huazhi and saw that she didn't show any hatred for her. Her dissatisfaction with Wang Huazhi faded a little. She thought this woman was sensible. If she wasn't a widow, she could be her daughter-in-law. What a pity.

"That's right, that's right, I was just scared."

Hua Pozi also went down the slope. This was the only thing she could do at this time.

Everyone was very happy for a moment, and the tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Dazhu's wife watched them happily from the side, feeling uncomfortable, wondering how those few broken vegetables could be poisonous? It was really embarrassing for Shen Zian and his wife!

Dazhu's wife kicked a stone nearby in anger, and a snake suddenly jumped out from underneath and bit her leg!

"ah--"

Dazhu's wife's scream resounded through the sky, scaring everyone nearby. When they discovered the snake, they all screamed in fear.

Shen Zian was quick-witted and swift-handed. He swung out a thin willow-leaf knife and stabbed the snake right in the vital spot. The snake fell to the ground and twisted twice before stopping.

Su Zhi had already gone to see Dazhu's wife. She asked a group of women to stand by to prevent people from looking at Dazhu's wife's legs. Although this was in the countryside and the people were not too conservative, she had thought of this. This made the people brought by the county governor think that she was quick to react and looked at her with a higher opinion. What's more, the Dazhu's wife she saved was targeting her just now? How could people not think that she had good character?

Su Zhi gave Dazhu's wife some medicine, and seeing that she was still screaming, she felt that her ears were hurting, so she said, "It's okay, stop screaming, let my ears be quiet for a while!"

After hearing this, Dazhu's wife finally stopped screaming and asked tremblingly, "Am I okay? I won't die, right? That's a poisonous snake!"

Su Zhi ignored her, stood up and walked aside. Although she would save Dazhu's wife, she didn't want to talk to her much. It was better to ignore such people.

"Hey! Why are you ignoring me? Will I die? Say something!"

When Dazhu's wife saw Su Zhi walking to the side, she became anxious and screamed loudly. She was really scared because she had seen the dead chicken just now.

Aunt Jinhua had been standing by. When she heard Dazhu's wife yelling, she also frowned when she saw the county magistrate and others frowning. She scolded, "Dazhu's wife! Be quiet! Do you still not trust Zi'an's wife's medicine? She gave you the medicine. She just said you were fine. Then you must be fine! Don't forget what your family did to them before. Zi'an's wife saved you and was very kind and righteous. Do you still want her to keep nagging you? You are really delusional! Leave now! From now on, you'd better stay away from places where Zi'an and his wife are!"

The people on the side also echoed. The people of Hebian Village naturally sided with Su Zhi. They also looked down on people like Dazhu's wife. They thought that such people were really shameless. They had just done something wrong a few days ago, and it had only been a few days, and they were alive and kicking again. How shameless!

"Go home quickly and stop embarrassing people here!"

"That's right. I couldn't stand the snake. It wouldn't bite anyone else, so why did it bite you?"

"If you don't leave now, a snake might bite you later!"

"Zi'an's wife's medicine is a miracle drug. We can't waste any more of it!"

"How can this person be so ignorant?"

"How could there be such a person in Hebian Village..."

Everyone was talking about it, all blaming Dazhu's wife. The county magistrate heard what was going on and asked the village head nearby what was going on. He heard that Dazhu's wife had some disputes with Shen Zian's family before and wanted to know what it was. The village head quickly told the county magistrate, because the county magistrate had known about the refugees for a long time, so as long as he mentioned it, the county magistrate would understand. It turned out that Dazhu's wife was the source of the refugee incident. He looked at Dazhu's wife with a bad look.

Dazhu's wife saw that not only the villagers blamed her, but also the county magistrate and the old men beside her looked at her with contempt and disdain. She was also afraid and stood up and ran. Fortunately, the wound from the snake bite was very small, and Su Zhi's medicine was very effective. It didn't hurt at all when she ran, but she was a little dizzy. She still fell a few times during the process. Hearing the laughter behind her, she was really angry and embarrassed!

Because only one snake died. Shen Zian wondered if there were other snakes, so he asked everyone to go aside and check again. Sure enough, another snake was chased out. He killed it easily. Then he turned the stone over and found a bunch of crushed eggs between the cracks of the stone. After confirming that there were no other snakes, he stopped.

"Brother Shen is really very capable and powerful. He is really admirable."

Zhixian boasted.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Zi'an is a famous hunter in our village. He is strong, fast, and good at archery. He has killed a tiger before! He won the favor of the Holy Beast because he killed a tiger and saved the little Holy Beast."

Zhixian knew that the Holy Beast was here, so he was naturally aware of the incident of killing the tiger. However, after hearing it again, he still felt that Shen Zian was indeed very capable. He was also very satisfied that such a talent of killing tigers had emerged in his jurisdiction.

Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Brother Zi'an did kill a tiger. It's an honor to say that I got those two tigers. I didn't expect that I also had a connection with the holy beast."

Not wanting to be left behind, Qian Dafu also said, "Little brother Zi'an is very skilled. During the Lantern Festival, he and my son rescued those kidnapped children. His contribution is not small."

Su Zhi listened from the side, thinking what were Mr. Zhang and Mr. Qian trying to do? Were they trying to win over the couple? Otherwise, why did they tell all these things? Mr. Zhang told the story of the tiger skin, maybe because he was not afraid that the tiger skin would fall into the hands of others, but Mr. Qian used the merit of the Lantern Festival to give his son credit, and now he is willing to give a share to Zi'an? Although it is a bit of hindsight, it is not easy to say it.

Sure enough, when the county magistrate heard these words, he had a very good impression of Su Zhi before and thought it was unfair for such a smart woman to marry a farmer. Now, after hearing about Shen Zian's great abilities, he felt that they were a perfect match and started praising him again.

The group returned to Fuyuan. This time, the villagers who came to watch the fun did not follow them. If they had followed them, the county magistrate would be unhappy!

Besides, it was time for dinner and everyone went home to eat.

Naturally, the Shen couple wanted to invite the county magistrate and everyone else to have dinner. The county magistrate didn't want to stay at first, as he thought there was nothing good to eat in the countryside. However, as he looked at the holy beast and the scenery in the garden, he finally decided to stay for dinner.

Su Zhi was just being polite, she never thought they would actually stay, so in the end she could only go and cook.

The county magistrate brought quite a lot of people with him, so several tables had to be set up. Fortunately, Su Zhi's family had plenty of food stored. Although there were not many dishes on each table, they were exquisite. They also had chrysanthemum wine made by Su Zhi. After the meal, everyone enjoyed it very much.

The so-called friends who only drink and eat together, to be friends, besides the kind of gentlemanly friendship that is as plain as water, it is based on eating and drinking. As a modern person, Su Zhi believes in the knowledge on the dinner table even more. So after a meal, it is obvious that these people who smiled but acted a little condescending before, now treat them differently.

After seeing these people off, Su Zhi felt very tired. Watching the three kids taking a nap, she also lay down on the kang.

Shen Zian gently massaged Su Zhi's waist and said with some concern: "Are you tired? If you don't want to keep us for dinner next time, don't be polite and just leave."

Su Zhi smiled when she heard this. She knew that Shen Zian really dared to chase people away directly. He didn't care whether that person was the county magistrate or whether those people were famous people in the town.

"Got it. Next time I won't keep you if I'm tired. Give me a massage on my back. It's okay if it's heavier."

Su Zhi was actually just a little tired. Ever since she had used the Lingquan Fairy Lotus, she had been in good health and was not easily tired. It was just that she felt very excited today and that was why she felt a little tired. Besides, she really liked her husband massaging her waist and back, which was simply so comfortable and intimate.

Shen Zian massaged Su Zhi's back with just the right amount of force. Su Zhi felt very comfortable, and she hummed softly from time to time. Shen Zian listened to her voice with a look of affection in his eyes. He and Su Zhi chatted with each other, and when he could no longer hear Su Zhi's reply, he saw that Su Zhi had fallen asleep, and there seemed to be some bright saliva on the corners of her mouth, which made him laugh. He covered her with a sheet and then fell asleep beside her.

The whole village knew that the county magistrate and so many other famous people had come to Shen Zian's house, and the reputation of Shen Zian and his wife immediately rose a lot. It can be said that they are now more famous than the village head. In addition to what happened that day, everyone praised them endlessly because of Shen Zian's ability to kill snakes and Su Zhi's intelligence and for treating the snake bite of Dazhu's wife without holding a grudge. The villagers thought they were really good people.

However, Dazhu's wife was looked down upon even more by the villagers because of this incident, so she hid at home and refused to go out.

Tiedan ran to Fuyuan to apologize to Su Zhi. This little boy who used to be a little willful has become a good person now. He is especially respectful to Su Zhi, admires Shen Zian, and likes Yueyue. His mother offended them, and he felt bad in his heart. In the end, he could only apologize himself. Su Zhi thought that it was a blessing for the Zhao family that Tiedan had changed for the better. She told Tiedan that this was a matter between adults, which finally made Tiedan less upset.

Shen Youfu called Shen Zian and Shen Youfu over and talked to them indirectly, asking them to build good relationships with the county magistrate and those powerful people, and to help their brothers in the future instead of just caring about their own happiness. Finally, he emphasized that Su Zhi should take care of Shen Zhu, and that if Su Zhi had the opportunity to go to the city to meet the women of those wealthy families, she should not forget to bring Shen Zhu with her.

Su Zhi naturally knew that this was to give Shen Zhu more opportunities to marry into a wealthy family. She was very disdainful of this, thinking that it had only been a short time since Shen Zhu broke off the engagement, and she was already in a hurry to choose another family? She was really anxious. She had seen Shen Youfu's look before, and she thought that he would feel ashamed for a while because he felt guilty for his benefactor who had helped him before, and at least let his children choose another marriage later. She didn't expect that she really overestimated him. It seems that Shen Youfu is not only cold to Shen Zian, he is also the same to others. Only Shen Zhang and her children can make him look at them differently!

The Hebian Village was bustling with Shen Zian and Su Zhi. In the town,

,please.
