Chapter 320: The Shang Family Visits
(Girls' Literature)
Zhao Dazhu and his wife became the focus of discussion among the whole village again because they caused Liu Siniang to have a miscarriage. This was because they were not popular, while Li Shi and Liu Siniang were very popular. This time, everyone expressed disgust and contempt for them. When they saw them, they all rolled their eyes at them and said a few words to criticize them. Some people even avoided them as if they were a plague.
They also found Zhao Daliang and his group, and urged them to find out what Shen Zian and his group were going to do with the large amount of sweet potatoes, but they were driven out by Zhao Daliang and his group.
"If you can find out anything useful, come and tell us, or come to us and tell us again. Don't use us as guns!"
Zhao Daliang was in a bad mood because of Liu Si Niang's pregnancy, and he was rude to his elder brother and sister-in-law who were not competitive. He thought that since they were his adopted elder brother and had no future, they always caused trouble for him these days, and he really didn't want to see them anymore.
Zhang Qingniang didn't say anything at the side. She had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Daliang for having such shameless family members. She had been nice to them before because she wanted to have more contacts in Hebian Village, but she didn't expect that this eldest brother and sister-in-law would make it even more difficult for them to build good relationships with the people in Hebian Village. Moreover, they were always thinking about her money, so she didn't want to pay attention to them anymore.
Mrs. Zhao also felt that Zhao Dazhu and his friends were not fighting. Seeing her youngest son chase them out, she did not stop him. She followed them out and told them to find out more about what the Shen family was going to do. She said that if they could find out anything, she would help them speak well of Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang. After these days, Mrs. Zhao also found that her new daughter-in-law had money. But she could not control it at will, and she did not dare to provoke her, so she just hoped that Zhao Dazhu and his friends would fight among themselves.
Dazhu's wife watched Mrs. Zhao enter the yard and said to Zhao Dazhu angrily, "If we can find out what Su Zhi is doing with those sweet potatoes, why would we need to care about your brother and that woman's faces? We will be rich!"
Zhao Dazhu said: "It's all because of what you did today. If it weren't for this, would we have been kicked out?"
Dazhu's wife glared at her husband and said, "How could I have known that the hen that never laid eggs would actually lay eggs! God is really blind!"
Zhao Dazhu said: "That Shen Zian's wife is really capable. Last time, someone got pregnant because she said she would definitely have a baby. And then Liu Si Niang got pregnant right after that. She is really a fertility goddess!"
Dazhu's wife snorted and said, "What Goddess of Childbirth? I think she's just lucky. Forget about that. It would be great if we could really know what to do with these sweet potatoes. Zhao Xiaomei has one way to make money after another. This time she made such a big fuss to harvest sweet potatoes and potatoes. She must be going to make a lot of money!"
Zhao Dazhu nodded, but he touched his face, which was injured by Li Shi, and felt that the place where the tooth fell out was still painful. He really didn't have the brain to find out anything.
"You useless thing." Dazhu's wife scolded Zhao Dazhu. She was also a little anxious, thinking that her family had cut off contact with Shen Zian's family and couldn't even get close to them. What could she know? It seemed that she had to ask someone for help. Who should she ask? Dazhu's wife quickly went through all the people in the village in her mind and found that there were really few people she could use. Suddenly, she thought of who to ask and a smile appeared on her face.
The Zhao family was wondering what Shen Zian's family was doing with the sweet potatoes, and they were trying to find out. But Shen Zian and his family had no idea, and they were just happy that Liu Si Niang was pregnant.
Because Liu Si Niang was having a miscarriage, Su Zhi made a tonic soup for her to drink. Of course, she added some lotus flower rice to it, not much, but it would definitely make Liu Si Niang better and give birth to a healthy and beautiful baby.
Liu Si Niang was in a very good mood because she drank the tonic soup and received everyone's concern and congratulations. Her face looked more cheerful and her originally pretty face now looked much prettier.
"Su Zhi, thank you so much. You are so busy and still cook for me. Thank you. I took the medicine and soup you gave me and I feel fine. I can get off the kang, but Shitou won't let me. I am so tired from sitting. Please talk to me so that I can move."
Liu Si Niang said that when she said this, her face was full of happy smiles, because she had a child, because of Li Shi's care, and because of a good sister like Su Zhi.
Su Zhi thought that after Liu Si Niang took the medicine and soup she gave her, she must have recovered. She was now two months pregnant, although it was less than three months and the fetus was not yet firmly seated. However, it was okay for her to get off the kang and walk around. If she stayed on the kang all the time, it might cause problems.
"Brother Shitou, I checked Si Niang's pulse and she's fine. If you're worried, ask Doctor Huang to come and take another look. I think she can get down and walk around. A pregnant woman can't be too tired, but she can't stay at home all the time, or it won't be good for the adults and the children."
Su Zhi said to Li Shi beside her that she saw Li Shi always looking at Liu Si Niang with concern, his face was full of the joy of a future father, and she was very happy for him. At this time last year, Li Shi was still a bachelor, and he didn't know where his wife was. But think about it, he had the money to marry a wife at that time, but he never did. He and Liu Si Niang were really a perfect match, just like she and Shen Zian were destined to be a couple.
When Li Shi heard Su Zhi say this, he nodded. He trusted Su Zhi very much. This sister-in-law always had magical qualities that were beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"Then come down and walk around for a few steps. But you should rest when you are tired. Don't carry heavy things and don't bend over. Otherwise, just sit on the kang all the time."
Liu Si Niang blushed and glanced at Li Shi, saying, "I understand."
Su Zhi saw how loving the couple was and didn't want to disturb them. She thought Liu Si Niang wouldn't be lonely these days because no one was with her. Li Shi would definitely be by her side to talk to her and the little bean in her belly. She stood up and said goodbye, and Li Shi sent her out.
After going out, Su Zhi walked towards home, thinking about what delicious food to make for her family at noon. It is autumn now, and she needs to give them more nourishment.
Now there are roads in the village, some are slabs of stone and some are gravel. It is very clean to walk on. Su Zhi walked on the slabs of stone, looking at the Daqing Mountain in the distance, breathing the fresh air, thinking that she has been here for almost a year. Time has passed so quickly, and she has also gained everything she wanted in this year. Let's just live like this, until she has white hair and until she passes away.
"Please make way, people in front!"
There were shouts from behind, as well as the sound of wheels rolling on the road and the neighing of horses. Su Zhi quickly moved to the side of the road and looked back after she had moved to a safe place. She thought that there were not many houses ahead. There had been more horse-drawn carriages going to her house recently. Could they be coming to her house again?
The carriage that came was a one-horse carriage, but it was obviously a very good carriage. A middle-aged driver sat in front of the carriage. He came in front of Su Zhi and stopped the carriage. Then he jumped off the carriage, raised the curtain, and a dignified face appeared inside. It was the daughter-in-law of the rich man, Madam Shang.
"Sister Zhao, I came to chat with you. I didn't tell you in advance. You won't mind, right?"
Su Zhi thought that when the young lady said she wanted to come and chat with her, she thought she was just being polite. She never thought she would actually come. This young lady from a wealthy family is not that timid. Or does she have other purposes? Su Zhi thought that her family had indeed become more prosperous these days, and had partnered with the Zhang family to do business. Could it be that the young lady was here to establish a relationship with her? No matter what the reason was, she came, so she should be received!
"Madam, it's you. I welcome you. My home is just ahead."
Su Zhi didn't dislike this young lady and thought that they might become friends.
Shang said, "Sister, you can come in too. Or I can go down and walk with you."
When Su Zhi saw Shang extending her hand to her, she didn't hesitate to take that hand and got into the carriage. She thought that the young lady said she would get off the carriage to walk with her, so she just took it as a courtesy. She also didn't want to walk below while others rode in the carriage. This was a good opportunity for her to experience what it was like to ride in a rich family's carriage.
Xiao Zi was also in the car and saluted Su Zhi. Su Zhi stretched out her hand, which was very elegant and generous. Shang and Xiao Zi thought that the Shen family lady was really extraordinary as a village woman. With just that one action, it seemed as if she had been saluted by so many people. That demeanor was as if she could handle it easily no matter how important the person was. Shang couldn't help but look at Su Zhi more highly. Thinking of the matter she came to ask Su Zhi for this time, she smiled at Su Zhi more affectionately.
It was not far from Fuyuan, and before the people in the car had time to say a few words, they arrived at the gate of Fuyuan.
Shang got off the carriage and looked at the gate of Fuyuan and the two powerful characters "Fuyuan" on the gate. She thought that these were the words written by the prefect, which were really impressive.
When Old Man Lan heard some noise outside, he opened the door.
Su Zhi asked Old Man Lan to arrange the carriage and the driver, and she walked inside with Shang Shi and Xiao Zi.
Along the way, Shang and Xiao Zi looked at the scenery inside the Blessed Garden. Xiao Zi looked around, while Shang was much more well-behaved. However, after a quick glance, he was also surprised. He thought that this Blessed Garden was really extraordinary. The trees, grasses and flowers seemed to be fresher and more luxuriant than those outside. Could this be caused by the blessing brought by the holy beast?
Shang had greater hope for the purpose of his visit this time.
