379: Threats and Suspicions

Zhao Xiaohua had been arrested and the car had gone, but the people in front of the Zhao family's gate were still there, watching the Shen family and the Zhao family arguing. People like to watch people fighting and swearing, like when Old Lady Li exposes people's old scars, people like to listen to it even more, especially when it comes to the private affairs of the Shen family, which is now the most prosperous family in the village. That is something you don't hear at other times, so everyone is listening with great interest, and not only did the attention not wander, but there seemed to be more people.

The head of the village had already sent the officials away, but when he heard his son say that the Zhao family's gate was still surrounded, he hurried back. He saw Old Lady Li saying these words and frowned.

"Dazhu, Daliang! Why don't you take your mother back? Don't let her talk nonsense here anymore!"

The village head was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He thought that his Hebian Village had always been a clean and honest village. Because of the drought last year, the various things caused by Shen Zian and his wife made Hebian Village famous and became a model for other villages. He was very proud of it. He never thought that the Zhao family would cause him such a big trouble. First, Zhao Xiaohua had a bad reputation, and then hired murderers, which simply ruined the village's atmosphere. He was now annoyed by this family, and he didn't want them to mess up the Shen family again.

In the Shen family now, Shen Zian and Shen Ziju are both good people. Originally, the two brothers were very good. If Fuyuan and the old house become unfriendly due to the instigation of old lady Li, who knows if it will affect the village again.

The head of the village angrily scolded the two Zhao brothers and asked them to take old lady Li away.

"Mom, what do you want to say? Stop making trouble."

Zhao Daliang pulled Mrs. Li aside and advised him that his family had lost face today and he didn't want to offend the Shen family again, but deep down, he actually hoped that his mother could say something to cause internal strife in the Shen family, preferably the same chaos as in their family, so he just gave a light-hearted advice and didn't pull her back.

Although Zhao Dazhu came out of the crowd, he just went forward and called her mother, but did not dare to pull her, as he was afraid that her mother would hit him.

Dazhu's wife rolled her eyes around, but didn't come forward. She thought Zhang Qingniang was smart. If she didn't come out, she wouldn't have to lose face. She had lost all her dignity this time!

"Hmph. What do you have to say, old woman? You are jealous of my fourth brother's wife every day. Seeing her living a good life, you wish you could snatch everything from her. You also hate her for instigating Liu Si Niang to divorce your son. Now she lives a much better life than in your family. You can't even hate her enough! How can she be kind enough to tell her any secrets now? She must be trying to sow discord between her and us! Fourth brother's wife, don't believe her!"

Sun shouted at Su Zhi, but Su Zhi was very interested in the secret that Old Lady Li was going to tell. Many villagers said that what she said just now was true. Maybe what she said later would also be true!

"Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me now. I see you've been standing there for quite a while. You must be tired. You should go back and rest after you finish speaking."

Dazhu's wife said something on the side, as if she was persuading her to go back, but in fact she was urging Old Lady Li to speak up quickly. She thought it would be best if her mother-in-law could say something that would cause the fourth branch of the Shen family and the old house to quarrel. She couldn't bear to see the Shen family living well. She watched them every day and gritted her teeth in hatred!

At this time, some people in the crowd who were listening became impatient and started to coax her to speak, but the village head glared at them and they quieted down.

Sanlang said angrily at this time: "Bah! What big secret do you mean? You are just lying! It is common to have a lying mother with a daughter like that! Old liar! Crazy woman! You and your family should all get out of Hebian Village! Don't bring shame to Hebian Village!"

"Who are you scolding? You little brat! Are you looking for a fight?"

Dazhu's wife scolded Sanlang.

Shen Zhang also stared at San Lang, thinking that this boy was really incapable of doing anything but causing trouble. She now only wanted that old lady Li to leave as soon as possible and stop talking nonsense. She had a feeling that this old lady knew some secrets of hers. She had even dug up the fact that she was pregnant before marriage, and who knew what else she would do! Shen Zhang felt that she had suffered too many blows today. She had lived a smooth life for many years, so she could no longer bear this kind of attack initiated by others. She would only attack others on her own initiative.

Dazhu's wife walked up to Old Lady Li and whispered in her ear, "Mom, if you really have something big to hold against you, instead of telling them at this time and making them unhappy, you might as well ask for some benefits from them. If the Shen family's old house gives more, don't tell them. If Fuyuan gives more, tell them. What do you think?"

When old lady Li heard Sanlang's scolding, she became even angrier. She couldn't stand Zhao Xiaohua being taken away. When she saw the Shen family, she was furious and started scolding them, thinking that they would suffer with her. Now when she heard what Dazhu's wife said, she also thought it was a good idea, but she also thought of another way, which was to let them help her rescue Zhao Xiaohua.

"Great! Now your sister is saved!"

Old lady Li was very happy. She still loved her daughter. She had to give birth to two sons to have such a beautiful and considerate daughter. She had always wanted to marry her daughter to a rich family and then live a happy life with her. As time went by, this daughter became more important than her sons. Now that her daughter was in trouble, she still wanted to rescue her.

Sun's face fell when she heard this. She thought, this old woman still hasn't forgotten her sister-in-law at this time. How disgusting! Does she really think Zhao Xiaohua can be saved? That would not only offend the Shen family, but also the Qian family!

Old lady Li began to tell the people of the Shen family her conditions. When they heard her say this, everyone thought that this old lady was really crazy. She actually started to threaten people openly. She still wanted people to save Zhao Xiaohua. How could that be possible?

The people in Hebian Village looked down on the Zhao family even more.

The village head said angrily: "What are you doing? You are so brave to threaten others in front of me! Do you take me, the village head, seriously? Do you take justice and morality seriously? Go back to the yard!"

Old Lady Li ignored the head of the village and looked at the people of the Shen family and asked, "Have you thought it through? Do you agree to my terms?"

Sanlang said at the side: "Why should I respond? You are a crazy woman, what truth can you tell?"

Su Zhi was a little hesitant. On the one hand, she wanted to know about this matter related to Shen Zian's mother, but on the other hand, she was afraid that knowing it would make Shen Zian even more uncomfortable.

"You'd better tell the truth. If you don't, I will make it impossible for your family to stay in Riverside Village!"

Shen Zian spoke at this time. He had been standing at the end of the crowd for a while, so he heard some of it. His heart was in turmoil. Thinking of his mother, Shen Zian felt very uncomfortable. His mother was a good woman. Since he could remember, she had been very hardworking and capable, but her health had always been poor and she was always unhappy. She would only smile in front of him. She finally passed away when he was still young. Although his mother asked him to call Shen Zhang "mother", he would always think of his biological mother. Now that he knew some of the truth from so long ago, his heart was full of anger, anger towards Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang.

Shen Zian thought that since Old Lady Li dared to threaten him here, it meant that she must know something very important. Thinking that it was about his mother, he must know it!

When Su Zhi saw Shen Zian coming, worry flashed across her eyes, wondering if he had finally come.

"Zian."

Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi and nodded. He didn't want to make her worry. Then he looked at Old Lady Li.

Old Lady Li was frightened by Shen Zian's words. In this village, she was not afraid of anything except the village head and Shen Zian. One of them had power, and the other had force. Especially Shen Zian, who had been cold and indifferent since childhood, but could kill a tiger. Now even the holy beast followed him every day, so she was naturally afraid of him.

"Are you going to tell it or not?!" Shen Zian asked sharply.

The village head tried to persuade him, but just as he said the word "Zi'an", Shen Zi'an raised his head to stop him.

Shen Youfu said unhappily: "Zi'an, what are you doing? Do you still respect us elders? Get out of my way!"

Shen Zian looked at him and said, "I want to hear her tell me about your past with my mother."

"What is there to know? Didn't she die early because she got sick giving birth to you? How dare you ask!"

Shen Youfu cursed. He didn't want Old Lady Li to talk about this anymore. He didn't want Shen Zian to know too much about what happened back then. It would be embarrassing for him as a father.

Shen Zian frowned and waved his hand. Then the white wolf standing beside him rushed to Old Lady Li like a flash of lightning and knocked her to the ground with one claw. Then the huge wolf head looked down at her. Old Lady Li screamed in fear and fainted.

The people of the Zhao family were so frightened that they retreated one after another, but they did not dare to rescue Old Lady Li.

Su Zhi walked over and pinched Mrs. Li's philtrum hard, waking her up.

Old lady Li grabbed Su Zhi's hand tightly and shouted for help.

Su Zhi said: "You should have said everything you need to say!"

Old Lady Li wanted to hesitate, but when she saw the white wolf take another step forward, she was so frightened that she screamed immediately.

"I say! I say! I suspect that Shen Zian's mother didn't die of illness at all, she was murdered by someone!"

Su Zhi's face changed, and she looked at Shen Zi'an. Seeing Shen Zi'an's gloomy face, she thought distressedly that she had indeed hurt him. Then she looked at Shen Youfu and Shen Zhangshi, and their faces also changed.
