Chapter 381: Shen Zian's Harsh Words

Su Zhi held Shen Zian's hand tightly, wanting to give him some strength. Shen Zian's hand held her tightly, and it hurt her, but she didn't say a word. She knew that Shen Zian was feeling very upset. Anyone of this age would find it hard to accept knowing that his deceased mother didn't die of natural causes but was murdered by someone, not to mention that the person under suspicion was the woman who had always replaced his mother's position!

The people in Hebian Village were originally talking about it, but at this moment they all suddenly quieted down, wondering whether Shen Zian would believe it and how he would treat Shen Zhangshi.

The weather was good. A gust of wind blew, raising a cloud of dust on the ground. A large group of people just stood there, and the atmosphere seemed a bit weird.

"Zi'an, don't believe that crazy woman! She is really crazy!"

Shen Youfu finally spoke. He was also stunned by what Mrs. Li said. Shen Zian's mother really loved to drink that green grass. The family was not rich back then, and Shen Zian's mother was a frugal person. She didn't like to drink plain water, and she couldn't afford to buy tea, so she drank that green grass. Not only the people in the Shen family knew this, but almost everyone in the Hebian Village knew it because she would always go to pick green grass.

As for the fine sand, Shen Zhang did buy it, and she did it behind his back. He discovered it by accident. He asked her about it at the time, and she said it was because of indigestion. But living together, how could he not know how she was feeling at the time? But he did not ask further, and believed what she said. But now that Old Lady Li said this, he remembered everything at once, and felt a chill in his heart.

Shen Zhu also said, "Fourth brother, how could my mother know that eating those two things together would be bad? It's definitely not like what the old lady from the Li family said! Don't recognize her! Mother is very good to you! Think about it, if mother really did that to Auntie, how could she not do that to you? So that's impossible!"

Shen Zian looked at Shen Zhang, this woman, because of his mother. He had always fulfilled his son's duty, but he also knew that this woman was scheming. He thought that if she used that scheming on him, it would only be for her own children to take advantage. He could not care less, because that was the benefit that all mothers in the world would seek for their children. He even thought that if his mother were alive, she would fight for him. He really didn't care. But if this scheming was used on his mother, it would still cost her her life, and he couldn't care less!

When Shen Zian thought about how his gentle and kind mother had been murdered and had a miserable end, he could not calm down and shouted that the murderer should not be let off.

"Is it you?!"

Shen Zi'an asked Shen Zhangshi in a suppressed voice. He seemed to be about to roar or cry. His throat was dry and he could hardly speak.

"Zi'an, it really wasn't me. You can't just believe what that crazy Li said! I have raised you for more than ten years. You can't not believe me!"

When Shen Zhang saw Shen Zi'an looking at her like that, with eyes as cold as a knife, she said sadly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief as she spoke.

"Whether it is you or not, we will know it sooner or later. However, until this matter is clear, I will not call you mother again!"

Shen Zian pulled Su Zhi away, and the villagers who were watching the excitement quickly made way for them. Shen Zian was so scary now.

Shen Zian knew that no matter how much he asked, Shen Zhang would not admit it. Even if he killed her, she would not admit it. And there was no evidence for what Mrs. Li said, so he could not really force her to interrogate her. It happened many years ago. How could he find out? Even if he found out that Shen Zhang really bought the fine sand, she would just say that it was used to treat diseases. He could not do anything to her. The cause of his mother's death would still be considered that she died early due to poor health!

Although Shen Zian was angry and sad, his mind was not confused. He was thinking clearly, so he pulled Su Zhi away. He was afraid that if he stayed there any longer, he would not be able to help but hurt others.

"Dad, Mom, look at what our fourth brother is like! He won't acknowledge his mother just because of a crazy woman!" Sun shouted from the side, "I think he just wants to take this opportunity to not fulfill his filial piety! It's not that he doesn't know how to be grateful because he was raised by his own mother. If it was his own mother, he would have just endured it even if she beat him to death. But now he just says he won't acknowledge her! He's worse than an outsider! An ungrateful wolf!"

Shen Ziping also said, "Fourth brother, this is really outrageous. How can you do things this way? He has really changed now that he has money! I have to talk to him! Village head, you have to talk to him too. He is too outrageous!"

The village head's mouth twitched, thinking that your own father couldn't control him, so how could I control him? Besides, no one can do anything in the current situation!

"Shut up, all of you! You're not making enough noise! ​​Go home!"

Shen Youfu was also angry at what Shen Zian had just said, but when he thought of Shen Zhang, he felt very confused. Hearing his son and daughter-in-law still talking nonsense here, he cursed.

Shen Zhu supported the crying Shen Zhang and walked back. Along the way, Shen Zhang acted pitiful in front of everyone, which made some people who originally suspected her feel a little sympathetic towards her. They thought that she was pitiful, having raised Shen Zi'an to such an age, but ended up like this.

Shen Youfu said something to Sanlang, asking him to go to Fuyuan and call back all the other people in the family, including the people from the second room. Sanlang responded and ran away quickly.

Good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Soon, the whole village knew about this matter. The people who had just chased the carriage that took Zhao Xiaohua away regretted not staying when they heard about these things from the people who stayed there. This is much more interesting than watching Zhao Xiaohua's carriage leave the village!

As soon as Shen Zhang arrived in the room, she lay down on the kang, put a towel on her head, and began to complain of a headache. Shen Zhu was taking care of her and persuading her that the fourth brother would definitely figure it out, and would come back to her to show his filial piety and give her gifts to apologize. Shen Zhang cried as she listened.

Soon, everyone from the first and second houses came back. They were working in Fuyuan and had no idea what happened outside. Sanlang had told them on the way, but he didn't explain it clearly. When they returned to the old house and heard what Shen Youfu had said, they were all shocked. How could such a big thing happen in just a short time? The Zhao family's affairs had nothing to do with them, but Shen Zian and his family were one family. What would they do if they became enemies?

"Mom! You wouldn't really do that, would you?"

Shen Zifu asked hurriedly and was slapped by Wang. He wondered what her husband was saying. How could he say that about his mother?

Sure enough, Shen Zhang started crying again when she heard it.

Sun took this opportunity to ridicule Shen Zifu, saying that he did not trust his mother and suspected that she was a bad person.

Shen Zian quickly apologized to Shen Zhangshi, and Wang Shi also spoke for him, saying that he was not good at talking and was just worried about her, not suspicious. Then the couple stood aside and said nothing, acting as a background. At this time, the more you say, the more mistakes you will make, and the less you say, the less mistakes you will make!

Shen Zigui said: "We can't persuade our fourth brother about this matter. He won't listen to anyone now. He will only believe what he has found out. If we tell him, it will only make him unhappy. Mother, if you really didn't do it, don't worry. Our fourth brother won't wrongly accuse you. If you didn't do it, he will have to apologize to you!"

Shen Ziping said, "Second brother, it's easy for you to say that! I think Fourth Brother wants to take this opportunity to ignore our parents! You see, ever since they had money, they have been stingy and only gave us so little money. If it were someone else, they would have let our parents live like landlords and their wives. We brothers would also be able to live in a big house and eat fine rice! Now, his family is going to build a house again, and make the garden better than the one that the officials live in! But you have to work for him to earn that little money, and he doesn't even arrange any work for me! He has looked down on us for a long time! He must want to take this opportunity to break up with us!"

Sanlang and a few others also echoed him.

"Don't talk nonsense! Fourth uncle is not that kind of person!" Dalang said unhappily. He glanced at the people from the third room with disgust, wondering how could he have such cousins?

Erlang also said, "You are just greedy. Fourth uncle doesn't give you any work because he hates you! He gives you work and gets paid, which is such a good thing, why do you think it's so bad? You just want to eat, drink and get things for free! Wouldn't it be best if you could live in Fuyuan and become the masters, then you would be satisfied? Who in this village doesn't say that my fourth uncle and aunt are great? Only you are special, and you are brothers!"

Chunlan and Chunxiang listened and nodded.

"All you little ones, get out."

Shen Youfu said that Dalang and his younger brothers had to go out. They talked about what happened today and were all very worried. They didn't want their grandmother to become that kind of person, nor did they want to have any rift with their fourth uncle. They hated old lady Li so much that they wanted to scold them every time they saw them in the future.

Shen Youfu only said a few words to his son and daughter-in-law, asking them to persuade Shen Zian not to listen to Old Lady Li. Then he let them go. Even Shen Zhu was sent out. When he and Shen Zhang were the only ones in the room, he sat next to Shen Zhang and looked at her. Shen Zhang had closed her eyes, and when she felt Shen Youfu sitting aside, she waited for him to speak, but she didn't hear anything. When she opened her eyes, she saw him staring at her, and she was shocked.

"Did you do this? Tell me the truth!"

Shen Youfu lowered his voice, he didn't want anyone else to hear him.

Shen Zhang said: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no way I would do such a thing!"

"Even if you did it, I can't do anything to you." Shen Youfu's shoulders suddenly slumped down a little, and he sighed, "We are an old married couple, I can't give you away just for something that happened so long ago. But you have to be more careful with Zi'an in the future."

"It wasn't me."

Shen Zhang refused to admit it and Shen Youfu did not ask her any more questions. He just took off his shoes, got on the kang, sat on it and smoked a pipe, filling the room with smoke. Usually Shen Zhang would say a few words, but today she said nothing, and Shen Youfu's face became even darker.

It doesn't seem like a particularly cruel remark... Zhao Xiaohua ended up like that, so this pair of old bad guys won't have a good ending either, for sure.
