Chapter 40: Sun's jealousy leads to trouble

The person who spoke was Sun. Ever since she kicked Shen Zi'an and his wife out of the Shen family, she always wanted to see the jokes of the couple, but she didn't hear any bad news at all. Except for some news brought by the eldest and second sons of the Shen family who went to help repair the house, she had no way to inquire about the recent situation of Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi. She said at home that she was pregnant and needed to be taken care of. She stayed in the house all day and secretly made money. After a few days, she felt bored, so she found an excuse to go to the house of the woman she loved to ask for some scraps of cloth to make clothes for the baby in her belly, and then she came out.

As soon as Sun came out, she heard someone on the street say that someone had killed a tiger on the east side of the village. She became interested as soon as she heard it. At that time, a person might not see a tiger in his lifetime. If he saw one, it would give him more things to talk about. Besides, it was on the east side of the river. She might as well go and see the unlucky day of Shen Zian and his wife.

Sun had a good idea, but when she arrived at the east side of the village, she heard others say that Shen Zian also owned the tiger, and she immediately felt jealous.

Tigers are rare and difficult to kill. This has been the case since ancient times. If a person kills a tiger, he will gain both fame and fortune, which is a great thing.

When Sun thought about how Shen Zian had just left the Shen family and got such a big benefit, how could she not feel jealous and resentful? She thought, if the family had not been divided, how much money would the two tigers have been sold for, and how much money would her family have gotten. When she did the math, her heart felt like it was cut by a knife, and she felt that all the money had flown away!

"Humph! As expected of you who married a lucky girl, you ran into a tiger so soon!"

Sun Shi squeezed into the crowd and saw the two tigers. Her eyes turned red and sour words immediately came out of her mouth. She didn't regret it after she said it. She thought it was all true. Even if they beat the tigers, it would make them feel uncomfortable.

Shen Zian frowned and said, "Third sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"You're welcome? What can you do? Can you hit me? I have your nephew in my belly, hit me if you have the guts!"

Sun was frightened by Shen Zian's expression, but she was no longer afraid. She thought, what is there for her to be afraid of with so many people around? She immediately retorted and pushed her not-so-prominent belly forward. People around her stepped back, fearing that they would be pestered by this woman.

"People often go hunting in this mountain, but no one has encountered a tiger or even a wolf for many years. You have also gone hunting in the mountains for many years, but you haven't even encountered a tiger. And now you married this unlucky woman. Just after you separated from your family, you encountered tigers, and two of them! How unlucky you are! It must be that unlucky woman Zhao Xiaomei's fault. How could such a coincidence happen?"

Sun said proudly, the more she spoke, the more she felt she was right. "Zhao Xiaomei, you damned woman, I will make your reputation even worse!"

"Old Four, what your third sister-in-law said makes sense."

Shen Youfu also stood up at this time. He had been standing aside for a while, frowning all the time. He spoke at this time. He didn't think that Sun's words were reasonable, but he had to make Su Zhi's reputation of being a bad luck come true. The reason was simple. The reason for the separation from Shen Zian was because Su Zhi was a bad luck. It was for the sake of the whole family, especially the future of Shen Ziju. But if it was only a few days after the separation, Shen Zian and his wife were living a prosperous life. Wouldn't that mean that they made a mistake in the separation and that they wrongly blamed the fourth daughter-in-law? Wouldn't the Shen family become a joke?

This is not good for the whole family!

Shen Youfu had a deeper concern, that is, if someone were to gossip and say that they said she was a jinx in order to get rid of that sickly girl, and that the old Taoist priest's words were their arrangement, then it would be very bad for the Shen family's reputation, and Shen Ziju's future would definitely be affected!

Shen Youfu hopes to become an old lady in his life, and he will never let this happen, so Su Zhi is destined to be the unlucky star!

When Sun saw that her father-in-law supported her, she looked even more proud. At the same time, she was laughing at her father-in-law in her heart. She thought that the old man must be afraid that others would say that he was the one who arranged for Zhao Xiaomei to be a bad luck charm and that his reputation would be ruined. In fact, he didn't know that this was indeed arranged by someone, and that person was her!

"Fourth brother, look, even dad has said this, and you are still protecting that jinx! I think you should be more careful in the future. You might encounter tigers when you go up the mountain, and you should be careful not to encounter water ghosts when you cross the river!"

Shen Zian stared at Sun with a sullen face, then looked at Shen Youfu and said, "Dad, my daughter-in-law is very lucky, she is not an unlucky star. You are my father, and also her elder. Don't listen to other people's nonsense in the future. If you affect the harmony of the family, nothing can make up for it!"

Shen Youfu glared at him and said, "You bastard! How can you talk to me like that? I am doing this for your own good!"

Shen Zian turned his head and said coldly: "I'm fine now, better than ever before!"

Sun covered her mouth and laughed, "Hey! Fourth brother, are you saying that you had a bad life at home? You are so tall and smart, you don't look like you had a bad life. People can't lie against their conscience, or they will be struck by lightning! Dad, fourth brother blames you and mom. It's a pity that you protect her so much, and it's a pity that mom is biased towards him. It's really a case of good people not being rewarded!"

Shen Youfu's old face flushed red, and he yelled at Shen Zian, "You bastard! You ungrateful bastard, why don't you let this tiger eat you! I really gave birth to you in vain, you heartless thing! How come you are standing here now when you are not living well! I even helped you get married and start a family, but now you blame your parents for killing a tiger that your wife brought. I will beat you to death!"

Shen Youfu got angry and picked up the stick that others used to lift tigers to hit Shen Zian, but was stopped by Li Shi who was standing nearby. He struggled for a long time but failed to get away and was gasping for breath in anger.

"Uncle Shen, calm down. Brother Zi'an didn't say anything. Don't worry about it."

Li Shi persuaded Shen Youfu and winked at Shen Zian, asking him to go aside. In this case, filial piety comes first. If the father wants to beat the son, the son cannot fight back. Sometimes even hiding is wrong. But if he doesn't hide, will he still be beaten?

Shen Zian did not hide, but glared at Sun. Shen Youfu was wrong, and Sun was even more wrong. She was causing trouble everywhere before the family was divided, and now that the family has been divided she is still causing trouble. Doesn't he really think that he can't deal with her just because she is a woman?

Sun took two steps back in fear of Shen Zian's gaze. She was really a little afraid of her brother-in-law. She dared to make a fuss normally, but she never dared to go too far. Even though she knew he would not hit her, she was afraid of being glared at by him.

Li Shi saw that the situation was too chaotic. He thought that it was not only because Shen Zian was not liked by Shen Youfu, but also because of Su Zhi's reputation as a jinx. This was why Sun Shi succeeded in provoking her. Su Zhi was a virtuous and intelligent woman. How could she be a jinx? For the sake of Shen Zian and his wife's future peace, she must be rid of this reputation. Today was a good opportunity!

"Hey! Uncle Shen, listen to me, you are doing this for Zi'an's sake, but sister-in-law Su Zhi really doesn't look like a jinx. We have evidence!"

Li Shi spoke loudly so that everyone around who was watching the excitement could hear him.

The villagers who were listening around widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, hoping that Li Shi had evidence to prove that Shen Zian's wife was not an unlucky person. They all wanted to know what the evidence was.

Shen Zian stood aside and listened. He knew what Li Shi was going to say. His originally gloomy face softened a little. It was a good thing that he wanted to clear his wife's name.
