339: Li faints
Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er's relationship was settled. Song Dashan said he would ask a matchmaker to propose marriage when he got home. He had a smile on his face.
The awkwardness in the hearts of the Xiao family has completely disappeared, and now the whole family looks at Song Dashan with satisfaction. At least this young man dares to propose to Xiao Ping'er at this time, risking being spurned by others. Moreover, he is an official now, an official that no one dares to point fingers at. He could have stayed out of it, but he came instead, which completely made the Xiao family satisfied with him.
It can be said that this marriage between the Song and Xiao families can be likened to a drama. Although the beginning was not very good, the ending was still happy. As for whether anyone would gossip about it, the two families did not care. When Xiao Ping'er and Song Dashan go to the county town, others will only see her as the wife of an official.
Su Zhi was very happy and chatted and laughed with Shen Zian along the way. Shen Zian looked at her with a smile in his eyes. He liked it most when his wife smiled.
As soon as they returned to Hebian Village, Shen Youfu had someone call Shen Zian and Su Zhi to the old house the next day and scolded them because they met Song Dashan and went to Xiao's house. They already knew that Song Dashan was going to marry Xiao Ping'er. So their presence at that time must have been related to this matter, so how could Shen Youfu not be angry?
"Dad, let's not talk about the matter between Dashan and Miss Xiao. They are both innocent. Even if they did something bad, didn't you tell us? Both of their families have done us a favor. Even if the engagement was broken off, there is no hatred. We are still fellow villagers. Why don't you allow us to have any contact with each other now?"
Shen Zian said coldly, and just a few words stumped Shen Youfu.
Shen Youfu's old face flushed red. He naturally knew the truth of that matter best. They wanted to cancel the engagement, so they did that. Their Shen family repaid kindness with enmity and ruined the reputation of Xiao Ping'er and Song Dashan. He felt guilty, but in order to show that he remembered the favor and was magnanimous, he said that they were still good fellow villagers. But this person is like this. When he has something to hide, he just wants to avoid the other party, the farther the better. He wishes that his family and friends would avoid him as well. It would be best if they were separated into two worlds, as if that way he could forget about this matter. Shen Youfu is like this. Now Shen Zian is refuting him with his previous words. Naturally, he has nothing to say and can only stare.
Su Zhi stood beside Shen Zian, expressionless, but smiling in her heart. She felt that Shen Youfu had asked for it. He wanted to give people a good impression of being grateful, but he did something else in private. This was more unpleasant than openly not allowing them to interact with the Xiao and Song families. If he had said it openly, it would have been reasonable. In that incident, the Xiao and Song families had made the Shen family lose face. But Shen Youfu wanted to pretend to be a good person, and now he was pushed back by Shen Zian. He really had asked for it.
There was another reason why Su Zhi did not sympathize with Shen Youfu, that was that she believed Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er were innocent. She suspected that the affair between the two was related to the Shen family. After all, she had seen that the Shen family's extraordinary dragon and phoenix twins were not interested in the original marriage. After the two marriages were cancelled, she did not see that they felt humiliated.
"Fourth brother, why are you so inconsiderate of dad? Dad has good intentions, that's why he said those words, but how can we really go and associate with those two families? They have joined hands to harm our fifth brother and Zhu'er. If it weren't for the fifth brother's quarrel, if it weren't for Zhu'er's talent and beauty, their good points would be there. Now they have become the laughing stock of others! Why don't you think about them? You are a brother."
Sun was fanning the flames. She was angry with the fourth roommate. She wanted Shen Ziping and Sanlang to work in the vermicelli workshop, and she wanted to steal the vermicelli recipe so that she could make a fortune. But she was rejected. She was not allowed to go there. Now she has become a joke in the whole village!
Sun thought that since you didn't let me get rich, then I won't let you think about taking advantage of Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu in the future, so she keeps instigating here.
Shen Ziping also echoed from the side.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, you are so ignorant. Now you are letting down our parents and brothers and sisters. You didn't help us before and didn't let us work in your vermicelli workshop. Now you don't even let us in. Are you still relatives? You are so heartless!"
Su Zhi looked at Shen Ziping and said, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, how quickly did our parents find out that we went to the Xiao family? Was it you who reported it? Is it because we didn't let you go to work in the workshop?"
Shen Ziping's face froze, and Su Zhi really guessed it. It was Sun who heard the news outside and came to tell Shen Youfu, just to vent her anger for not letting them go to work.
"Fourth brother's wife, don't worry about this. This is about you guys not being involved with the Xiao and Song families! Don't even think about changing the subject!"
"That's right. You were wrong not to let us work in your workshop. Now you are helping the two families who brought shame to our Shen family. It's even more wrong. You are not allowed to say anything? Dad, Mom, you have to talk to them."
Sun said that she was extremely jealous of the Shen family's current prosperity. It could be said that Fuyuan was now rich and powerful, and she wished that all of this was hers.
"Yes, yes, don't think that you can ignore Grandpa and Grandma just because you have someone to protect you. Even if the emperor rewards you, you still have to listen to Grandpa and Grandma! Grandpa, Grandma, if you don't take care of Fourth Uncle anymore, he will rebel!"
Saburo was talking as he poked his head outside the door.
Sanlang still thinks that Su Zhi ruined his fortune. He saw his uncle and aunt getting rich, so he thought that it should have been his, but Su Zhi took it away. Now this unlucky star has become a lucky star. If she hadn't taken away his fortune, she would have died of illness! Maybe others think that Sanlang's thinking is ridiculous, but Sanlang just thinks so.
Silang started to fight along with him, while Wulang was screaming and being pulled by Chunhua. He bit Chunhua unhappily, causing her to scream in pain. After being glared at by Sun, she endured the pain with red eyes.
Shen Zian looked at Sanlang. Sanlang's arrogance immediately disappeared, and he quickly shrank back.
Su Zhi thought that the third room was really hopeless.
"Dad, don't blame Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law for this. It's also the fate of Song Dashan and Miss Xiao."
Shen Ziju was standing at the door at this time, with Shen Zhu standing beside him, and Li standing beside him. She was feeling a little unwell today, so she didn't go to work at the vermicelli workshop. She made some pickled eggs at home, and as a filial daughter-in-law, she picked more than ten of them. She sent them to the old house, and it happened just in time for this incident.
Although Shen Ziju got rid of the marriage with Xiao Ping'er, he got what he wanted, but he also felt a little guilty, especially after what happened to Xiao Ping'er and Song Dashan. Now they were getting married, and Song Dashan became a government official. He felt relieved and not angry.
Shen Zhu also said: "Dad, Mom, they have long wanted to be together, and it was not Brother and Sister-in-law who brought them together. You don't have to be angry with them. At most, Brother and Sister-in-law can try to see them less in the future."
Shen Zhu didn't want to offend Shen Zian and the others, but she still felt uncomfortable when she thought about Song Dashan marrying Xiao Ping'er. How could these two people get together? And Song Dashan became an official after breaking off the engagement with her, which was really abominable. But it was useless for her to be angry. She just wanted to marry someone better. What was an official's wife? She didn't care!
Li also understood what was going on and helped to persuade them.
Seeing that Shen Youfu seemed to be still angry and wanted to say something, Shen Zhang quickly pulled him away. It was useless to say anything at this time. If they continued to talk, Shen Zian and his wife would stay away from them. Now they were rich and powerful, and for the sake of Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu, they could not offend them.
"Zi'an, your father is an impatient person. You have to understand his feelings. Although your father said that he didn't blame those two families, who wouldn't feel uncomfortable after such a thing happened? It's just that he remembered the kindness of those two families and didn't want to lose face with them. If they talk to us, we can't ignore them, but it's best not to rush to answer them. If Song Dashan comes to visit, you can let him in, but as for going to the Xiao family, don't do it in the future. Compared with them, your father is more important. Don't you agree?"
Shen Zhang's words made sense. Anyway, she wanted them not to have more contact with the Song and Xiao families in the future. She did this because she felt that Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi were too lucky and not stupid. If they had more contact with Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er and knew what they had done, it would be bad.
"We got it."
Su Zhi spoke first without waiting for Shen Zian to speak. She didn't want to think about it any more. There was no point in saying more. She would have to promise something in the end. It would be better to just agree to it vaguely.
However, Sun did not want to let them go. She asked aggressively: "What do you know? You have to promise your parents that you will avoid those two families in the future. You are so close to them, but why don't you get closer to your own brothers? You are really betraying your own family."
Mrs. Li said, "Third sister-in-law, what you said is too harsh. What do you mean by eating from the bottom of your heart?"
"Second sister-in-law, what are you saying?! I get it. It's just that Fourth Brother asked your whole family to work in the vermicelli workshop, and now you are siding with them, right? People say you are honest people, but I think you are thick-skinned enough and really know how to flatter!"
"You!" Li was shaking with anger, but thinking that she had already divided it out, this was the old house, and now was a bad time for her fourth brother and his family, she didn't want to think too much about it.
"What do you mean by 'you'? I'm telling you the truth. You're not a bootlicker. You don't have to go to work. Let us go!"
Sun said proudly that it would be great if they could make the people from the second room angry and quit, then they from the third room could go to work and they would definitely be able to steal the vermicelli recipe by then!
Li was so angry that she felt a little suffocated in her chest and was unable to bear it. She didn't say anything back, but the other party didn't let her go. Just as she was about to say something back, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
