335: Song Dashan's Marriage

After the harvest season, for the farmers, the days began to pass quickly. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, it was already late autumn and early winter.

In the weather of November, when people get up in the morning, regardless of gender, age or status, they are all shivering with cold. It takes a while for them to recover after moving. Sister Li and Sister Shugen came to Fuyuan early, greeted Old Man Lan and Aunt Lan with a smile, and then went to a corner of the garden. There was a road leading to a gate, and inside was the place where vermicelli was made. In order not to affect the environment of the family, Su Zhi specially marked out an area there and built a fence around it.

The vermicelli workshop has been in operation for nearly a month, and everything has returned to normal. The vermicelli is delivered out in truckloads like flowing water. The people in Hebian Village have become accustomed to those trucks, and many of them are jealous of the money made from trading. But there is nothing they can do. Shen Si's family is no longer an ordinary family. Even if they have mountains of gold and silver at home, they can only watch and not try to get them, as that would be costing their lives!

The people in Hebian Village are now only thinking about how to get good relations with the people in Fuyuan. They want to gain some benefits from them, not to mention making money. They want to have good relations so that if someone bullies them in the future, they can let Shen Zian and others help them out, and the person who bullied them will have to pay compensation and apologize!

Shen Zian and Su Zhi were not the kind of people who would turn their chins up and ignore their fellow villagers just because they had someone to rely on. As soon as they started their workshop, they found some skillful wives in the village to work there, and also found some capable men to be in charge of delivering the vermicelli.

Working for the Shen family, both men and women were paid one or two taels of silver a month. If they had something to do, they could ask for leave. This was a really good job for these farmers, especially in the winter when there was not much farm work to do.

The men and women they found were all familiar to Shen Zian and his team. However, they were jealous of others and many of them wanted to come and work, but they were not needed. However, Su Zhi said that if the business was good, they would definitely recruit more people when they expanded production. This made many people more enthusiastic about Shen Zian's family, thinking that they could use their close relationship to come in and do this job.

"Su Zhi, we're here!" When Li's wife saw that the door was unlocked, she pushed it open and went in. She saw a slender woman in bright blue clothes standing in the room. She knew it was Su Zhi without even looking at her face. "It's a bit cold today, why don't you stay in the warm room for a while? Brother Shen really didn't want you to come out?"

Sister Li said with a smile that their relationship was already very close and they were very comfortable joking around because everyone who knew him knew that Shen Zian loved his wife very much and they always used this to make fun of the young couple.

Su Zhi turned around, pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Look at what sister-in-law said. I work with you guys every day, so why would I be reluctant to leave? When you say that, it seems as if I'm made of glass."

"You look like you're made of glass. Look at your face and hands. They're so white that they're almost transparent. How did you get those white skins? But I'm dying of jealousy. I can't tell that you were sick before. It's as if you were covered in a room soaked in sesame oil since you were a child."

Sister Li looked at Su Zhi's white and slender fingers and face exposed in the air, and she was really jealous. She still remembered the Su Zhi with acne all over her face. Who could have thought that she would become like this? When she was sick, many people thought that Su Zhi would be completely rotten, and even if she recovered, she would be covered with scars. In the end, Su Zhi was like shedding a layer of skin, without leaving any traces.

Sister Shugen also echoed the sentiment. Su Zhi looked good, but only pretty. If her skin wasn't so good, she wouldn't be so attractive. But because of her fair skin, everyone who saw her would stare at her and think she was pretty.

It can be said that Su Zhi's skin is envied by all the women in the village, including Sister Li and Sister Shugen.

Su Zhi touched her face and said with a smile, "I am blessed after surviving a great disaster. God felt sorry for me and gave me compensation. Please don't laugh at me. If you stay at home all the time, you will also get old."

"That's not necessarily true. I also stay at home all the time, but I'm still not as good as you."

Zhao Feng walked in. She could be said to be the best of the beautiful daughters-in-law in the village. She usually didn't do farm work and rarely sunbathed, but there was still no Su Zhibai.

"Sister Feng, you are here. Now that you are all here, let's talk about this workshop."

Su Zhi quickly changed the subject. She didn't want people to talk about her face all the time. As soon as she mentioned the workshop, the three of them became serious.

Su Zhi usually leaves all the work in the workshop to them, as she has other things to do.

"My third sister-in-law came again yesterday, didn't she? Next time she comes, don't let her in. Let her come to me and I will receive her. We can't let unrelated people into our workshop."

Su Zhi said with a look of helplessness on her face. As soon as her workshop started operating, Shen Ziping and Sun came and wanted to work here. Su Zhi turned them down. She didn't want to use these two people. They were too lazy and cunning. Su Zhi didn't want to be on guard against them all the time. Didn't she know that they must want to peek at how vermicelli is made? Although she was careful not to let anyone know the key parts of the vermicelli making process, including the step of adding alum. Without this step, the vermicelli made would not work at all. But she didn't want such lazy people to come here. It would definitely affect everyone's work.

In the end, Su Zhi rejected the couple by saying that she had already asked people from the first and second wives to come to work. Even if the couple continued to make trouble, she did not give in.

Shen Ziping and Sun went to complain to Shen Youfu, but to no avail. They said Shen Zian didn't take care of his brothers. People from the first and second houses were working here. If they weren't allowed to come, they wouldn't be short of manpower. Su Zhi refuted them lightly. Shen Zian didn't give them face and directly said that their family didn't welcome the couple. Even if they were short of manpower in the future, they wouldn't let them work. This completely put an end to the idea of ​​the third house entering Fuyuan.

It was useless for Shen Youfu to be angry. Who told Shen Ziping and the others not to be angry? They already had a bad relationship with Shen Zian and the others, and they quarreled loudly. The situation became tense and there was no way to ease it down.

But Sun refused to give up. She found an excuse to come into the workshop, looked around and chatted with people. She refused to leave even when asked to do so, and everyone was unhappy. Su Zhi then told Sister Li and the others to let them continue to hold her back.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Next time, don't let her try to come in here. If she does, I'll ask her to leave."

Sister Li said cheerfully that she looked down on that Sun, but that woman was the daughter-in-law of the Shen family after all, no matter how domineering she was, she couldn't do anything to Sun. With Su Zhi, she would have someone to rely on.

At this time, all the women working came slowly, and greeted Su Zhi one by one. When they were waiting for Wang Huazhi to come in, they told Su Zhi that Song Dashan was here.

Su Zhi gave a few instructions and then left. She wondered why Song Dashan came here. Because of the incident with Xiao Ping'er, he broke off the engagement with Shen Zhu and since then, he rarely came to Hebian Village. He was also a man who cared about his reputation. After that incident, facing other people's pointing fingers, he didn't want to come. But he still had a good relationship with Shen Zian and the others. They would always talk when they met outside.

Shen Zian went into the mountains with Bailang and the others early in the morning, so naturally Su Zhi came to greet Song Dashan.

"Sister-in-law, no need to pour water, I'm not thirsty!"

Song Dashan held Su Zhi back and wouldn't let her go out to get some water.

Su Zhi did not go either, and sat opposite him. Looking at his expression, she knew that he had something to do this time. His eyes kept rolling around, as if he was a little embarrassed, a little anxious, and very troubled. He moved his lips a few times, but he couldn't say anything, and she didn't know what words were so difficult to say.

"Brother Song, what can I do for you? If you have any problem, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

"Sister-in-law, I really don't want to trouble you with this matter. But, I really have to tell you about this matter, otherwise I will not treat you as my brothers and sisters-in-law. However, I am not doing this in a very authentic way, and I am afraid that you will say that I don't treat you as my brothers and sisters-in-law."

As Song Dashan spoke, his face flushed and his speech became incoherent. He looked at Su Zhi with anxious yet timid eyes.

Su Zhi found it a little funny and said, "Dashan, I don't understand what you are saying. Why do you say it to us or not because you are afraid that we will be unhappy? You are not a timid person. You are an official now. If you have something to say, just speak out loudly. I am sure your sister-in-law will not be unhappy. I think you will not do anything bad."

Because Song Dashan saved the county magistrate during the refugee riot, the magistrate remembered him and later let him work in the county government. Song Dashan has now made a name for himself and has become a government official. He usually wears official clothes, looking quite impressive.

"Go ahead and tell me. I'm listening."

Su Zhi urged, she was really curious.

Song Dashan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I want to marry Xiao Ping'er, the girl from the Xiao family. I hope my brother and sister-in-law can agree!"

Su Zhi's eyes widened, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, clapped her hands and said, "You want to marry Xiao Ping'er? How did you get involved with her again?"

Song Dashan thought Su Zhi laughed out of anger, and said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I swear to you, Xiao Ping'er and I were innocent before! I wanted to marry her, but it was later. That girl was also ruined by me. She has a bad reputation now and is laughed at by others. Even if someone wants to marry her in the future, it will not be from a good family. Even if the matter at that time has not been clarified. But I think I was confused, and she, as a girl, must have been confused. She is a girl, more pitiful than me."
