Chapter 378 The Big Secret

Shen Youfu's loud roar not only shut up the almost crazy old lady Li, but also shut up the people from the riverside village present. For a moment, all the noisy sounds disappeared, and it seemed too quiet, making everyone feel a little embarrassed. At this moment, a clear and soft sound like spring water flowing through a stone wall rang out, breaking the silence and attracting everyone's attention.

"Auntie Li, what did you just say?"

The one who spoke was Su Zhi. She had just been staying at Li Shi's house with Liu Siniang. She was so close and such a big thing had happened, so of course she could hear it. She came out to see, but she didn't expect to hear the topic about Shen Zian, and such surprising words. Although she didn't know if it was old lady Li who was talking nonsense, she couldn't help but care.

Shen Zhang was a little anxious. She cared most about her reputation. In recent years, she was very careful to show a good temper in front of others, so that people in Hebian Village would say that she was a good wife and a good mother. Although she was a concubine, she was a concubine who could live in peace with the original wife and treated children who were not her own as her own. Her reputation for virtue was well-known not only in Hebian Village, but also in several surrounding villages. Now she was slandered by Old Lady Li in front of so many people. She was a little anxious.

"Zi'an's wife, don't listen to her nonsense! She is confused because her daughter was captured. She is jealous that our Zhu'er is better off than her daughter, so she is making random accusations here! Don't believe her! Ask the villagers in Hebian Village, are your father and I the people she says we are?"

As Shen Zhang was talking, she said to Shen Youfu, "Old man, please say something!"

Shen Youfu said with a stern face, "Fourth daughter-in-law, if you believe what this crazy woman says, then you are not the daughter-in-law of our Shen family!"

Sun was just looking for chaos in the world. She said, "Dad, Mom, I think my fourth brother's wife is suspicious of you! You are so kind to my fourth brother and her, it's all in vain!"

Su Zhi looked at Sun and said calmly, "Third sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with you, so don't say anything."

"Why can't I..."

Sun was about to retort, but she shut up involuntarily when she saw the look in Su Zhi's eyes. Su Zhi didn't glare at her. But the warning in her eyes was real. She felt that if she said another word, Su Zhi might punish her. Although she told herself that she was not afraid of Su Zhi, she was just being brave. She didn't dare to offend Su Zhi. Su Zhi usually smiled, but once she got angry, she was very powerful.

Su Zhi saw that Sun was silent. She glanced at Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang, then looked at Old Lady Li and said, "Auntie Li, what did you mean by that?"

Old Lady Li smiled when she saw Su Zhi asking her. She looked at Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang with some mockery and said, "You two are shameless! Others think you are good, but I know you are not good people! Shen Zhang. Others say you are virtuous, but you know what kind of person you are. If you really have dignity, how can you get together with Shen Youfu before you get married? The eldest child in your family was not born full-term, but was born before you got married! You can hide this from everyone, but not from me! Do you dare to say it's not true?"

The people around immediately started to boil like a pot of water. These days, having sex with a man before marriage and getting pregnant is not something a decent girl would do, let alone Shen Zhang who always pretends to be a well-behaved person. In addition, she is a concubine, which makes people look down on her even more. They have to think that she used her foxy means to seduce Shen Youfu.

Shen Zhang's face suddenly turned red and then pale. Her face, which was always very dignified no matter whether she was happy or sad, suddenly became distorted. She pointed at Old Lady Li, her hands shaking.

"You, you, you are slandering me!"

"Am I slandering you? Your eldest child was born prematurely, and everyone who's older knows that. But when he was born, he was heavier than a full-term baby, weighing 15 pounds! Is this the weight a premature baby should have?"

At this time, all the people in Hebian Village started talking quietly together. The older ones began to reminisce. They found that it was just as Mrs. Li said. When Shen Zifu was born, he was a very strong, white and fat boy. Everyone who saw him praised the child for his good looks. But think about it, a premature baby who grew so big did not look like a baby.

"I remember that when Zifu's mother was pregnant with him, her belly got bigger quite early. I wondered if she was having twins. Now I think if it was really full-term, her belly wouldn't have gotten bigger early or been that big."

"It seems so. I remember when I told her her belly was big, she kept saying it wasn't big."

"Now that I think about it, it's possible that she had it a long time ago. It seems that the day after their wedding, she got up very energetic and didn't look tired at all. She didn't look like a newlywed. She walked very slowly, as if something had weighed her down on her waist."

"I seem to remember that she had only been married for half a month when she seemed to be about to vomit in front of me. Could it be that she had morning sickness at that time?"

Everything was feared to be gossiped about, with everyone talking about it, and those who were a little older had already imagined a lot about Shen Zhang's past.

With these people saying this, it was almost certain that Shen Zhang had gotten together with a man before marriage and was pregnant. No matter what she said, even if it was not true at all, no one would believe her. The impression that she was a woman who did not love herself before marriage was once again imprinted in everyone's mind.

Shen Zhang was so angry that she felt dizzy.

But old lady Li was not going to let Shen Zhang off. She continued, "How could you, a woman without any sense of shame, who tried every possible way to marry into the family, only think of being a concubine? You just wanted to use Shen Zian's mother as a servant! You thought that she would have to listen to you because she didn't have a child, but God gave her a child! Everyone knows that when Shen Zian was in his mother's belly, his mother was so thin. It must be because you didn't feed her well! How did she die so young? Didn't you die of anger? What happened? Shameless men and women like you, you still have the nerve to let Shen Zian do this and that for you all day long, and oppress him for twenty years. If he hadn't married and divided the family, you would have used him to death!"

"You're talking nonsense. The villagers all know how I treat Zi'an. I treat him like my own son!"

Shen Zhang hated Old Lady Li so much that it was no wonder her daughter was taken away. It was because she was so evil. Why didn't they take her away as well?

Old Lady Li snorted, "Be good to him? You are just pretending. If you were really good to him, why did your son go to school while Shen Si couldn't? He's not stupid, right? If you were really good to him, why did you divide the family property when he was in the most difficult time and only give him such a small amount of rubbish? What are you saying? You just want him to be more and more miserable!"

"Crazy woman, shut up! Who can you say about my mother? You are just making this up, you don't have any evidence at all!" Shen Ziping stood up at this time, holding Shen Zhang's arm, and said, "Mom, don't be afraid of her, she is just a mad dog, biting people randomly now! Your son is at home, and he won't let her splash dirty water on you!"

Sun also stepped forward and said, "That's right, mother, don't be afraid of her, I will help you scold her!"

The couple thought that if they didn't curry favor with Shen Zhang now, when would they do so? Soon Shen Ziju would become a high-ranking official, so they had to please Shen Zhang.

Sun glared at Old Lady Li and said, "You crazy old woman, your daughter was just kidnapped, and you want to go with her? If you want to go, just say it clearly! If you want to throw dirty water on my mother, you have to find something that people will believe! What you just said is all your own imagination, without any evidence. Do you think we are all fools? You believe it just because you say it! Folks, we are all sensible people, who should be believed and who should not be believed? You have to think clearly! She is the mother of a shameless woman who hired murderers and drugged people. My mother is the mother of the murderer!"

Sanlang and a few others were also shouting at the side, and everyone immediately said that they did not believe Old Lady Li.

Su Zhi stood there with a frown on her face, listening. Others might not believe it, but she did believe it a little. Shen Zhang was a cunning person, and it was really possible that she could do such things.

"Auntie Li, is that all?"

"Who said that's all! There's more!"

Old Lady Li looked at Sun's smug face and heard that people around her didn't believe her, and she got angry. Her daughter was taken away, and she was on the verge of going crazy. At this time, she just wanted to find someone to share her misfortune, and Shen Zhang, the most successful woman in Hebian Village who was about the same age as her, became a thorn in her eyes, and her daughter Shen Zhu was someone Zhao Xiaohua hated so much before. Old Lady Li couldn't let Shen Zhang have an easy life, and couldn't let the Shen family feel comfortable. She wanted the Shen family to be miserable with her.

"Zi'an's wife, you are a good person. Auntie will tell you whatever you want to know. You and Zi'an are both good people. Your parents are so partial to you, they bully you and treat you badly. But you are still filial. I tell you, we were wrong, very wrong! Auntie is risking her life today and will tell you a big secret today!"

Old Lady Li looked at Su Zhi and spoke mysteriously.

When the people in Hebian Village heard this, their ears all pricked up, thinking that today was really an eventful day, and they might hear something big again!
