Chapter 404: The Show-Off Sun Family Returns
Because of Shen Ziju's success, the Shen family enjoyed great success for a while. Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang dared to go to the village. Although they were smiling, anyone could see that they were very proud. Compared with the old couple, the people in the third house were much more open-minded. They looked so proud that their noses were upturned. If someone didn't say something nice to them, they would look at him as if he was a dying person. This offended many people.
Shen Youfu asked someone to call back his three sons who had been separated from him, saying that he wanted the whole family to have a meal together to celebrate.
Sun volunteered to go. She wanted to show off. Now they were the only third branch left in the old house. There were close and distant brothers among them. The other three were all separated, but they were the ones who stayed, so they were naturally close. In the future, they would definitely benefit from Shen Ziju's influence!
Sun just wanted to show off to those three families, especially Su Zhi. She thought, even if you are rich, you are still just farmers, but we are officials!
As a result, Sun first went to the second room to show off, looked at Li's belly a few times, and said a few sour words, meaning that no matter whether you are pregnant with a boy or a girl, it will only be a country boy in the future and will never be a young master or a young lady. Before Li could say anything, Chunyue kicked Sun out. She didn't want to make her mother angry. Seeing that her younger brother would be born soon, what would she do if he gave birth prematurely?
Doctor Huang took Li's pulse and said that this baby was most likely a boy, which made the whole family very happy.
After being kicked out, Sun cursed a few words at the door, and then rushed to the main house where the house was being built. As a result, Wang was not there, only Shen Zifu and Dalang and Erlang were there. She told Shen Youfu what he said, and Shen Zifu said he knew. Then he turned around and ignored her. She wanted to say something else, but Dalang and Erlang came over. The two of them were holding wooden bricks in their hands. One of them "accidentally" hit Sun with the wood, and the other "inadvertently" dropped the brick, almost hitting Sun's feet. After just a few times, Sun ran away in a hurry.
"Look at how proud you are! Isn't it just a house? No matter how good it is, we are still just peasants! In the future, we will live in government residences in the capital! You will die of jealousy if I don't!"
Sun Shi was cursing and rubbing her waist as she walked towards Fuyuan, the place where she had just been hit by Dalang with a piece of wood.
Arriving at Fuyuan, Father Lan stopped Sun. Shen Zian and the others had already said that the gate of Fuyuan would not be open to the people from the third house, so if they had anything to say, they could just say it at the door. Just let someone pass it in.
"I'm here to tell you the good news. Our fifth brother has won the second place in the imperial examination! He will be a high-ranking official in the future. Isn't it enough for him to enter your little paradise? Old man Lan, get out of the way quickly. Don't be so rude!"
Sun said proudly to Old Man Lan. She had disliked this old man for a long time. It was this old man who usually kept her out. Isn't he just an old man living alone? He actually dressed better than her. This third brother and his wife really had too much money to spend!
Old Man Lan glanced at Sun and said, "You are not an official anymore, so what is there to be proud of? If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, I will close the shop."
Seeing that Old Man Lan was really going to close the shop, Sun said quickly, "Father and mother asked Fourth Brother and his family to go home for lunch tomorrow at noon to celebrate Fifth Brother's event. This is a big deal. Please let me go in and tell Fourth Brother. You can't afford to delay me!"
When Old Man Lan heard this, he said directly: "Zi'an said that he would not return to the old house until he found out the cause of his mother's death. He will not go back for dinner, so you go back!"
After saying that, he closed the door.
Sun was dumbfounded. She went over and knocked on the door, but no matter how hard she knocked, the door wouldn't open. She could only go back, cursing.
Auntie Lan listened to the scolding and said, "I'll go talk to Zi'an. What if he wants to go?"
"Zi'an will definitely not go. That kid is stubborn."
Old Man Lan said affirmatively, then took a hoe and went to weed his vegetable plots.
After hearing what Aunt Lan said, Shen Zian just said he understood and he would not go.
Su Zhi saw Shen Zian's expression and went to comfort him. She knew that Shen Zian was a kind person. Although Shen Youfu treated him badly, he was still his father. Before he found out the cause of his mother's death and proved that Shen Youfu was also related to it, Shen Zian still regarded this father as his father. But when he thought that it was Shen Youfu's indulgence of Shen Zhang that led to those things, he resented Shen Youfu. Now seeing that Shen Youfu was so prosperous because of Shen Ziju, he must be very confused.
"Wife, if my mother hadn't died, if there hadn't been that Zhang, do you think it would be possible that I would be the runner-up now? Wouldn't you be very proud then?"
Shen Zian said this suddenly when he felt Su Zhi's soft hand holding his.
Su Zhi was stunned. She thought Shen Zian was thinking like this. Didn't he forget his intention to make her feel that she was not worthy of him when she married him? She felt like she had drunk a cup of hot sugar water, warm and sweet. She really married a good man.
"Compared to a scholar who studies and then becomes an official in the future, I still prefer a warrior like you who can kill a tiger and climb walls. You make me feel more down-to-earth. At least if someone bullies me, you can punch them and carry me on your back and run away instead of waiting for others to rescue you, right?"
Su Zhi was telling the truth. Only a strong man like Shen Zian could make her feel safe. Scholars looked elegant, but they were really not her type.
When Shen Zian heard Su Zhi say this, he just held Su Zhi's hand a little tighter.
Sun went to three families in a row and suffered three setbacks. She returned home in a rage and exaggerated the attitudes of the three families in front of her parents-in-law, as if they were not happy at all that Shen Ziju was admitted to high school. This made Shen Youfu very unhappy, but Shen Zhang persuaded him. She didn't believe Sun's words. Of course, if it was just Shen Zian's family, she wouldn't say anything. The angrier Shen Youfu was, the better. But this time, her two biological sons were involved, so she still had to persuade him.
Shen Youfu said angrily, "Whoever comes will have dinner, and whoever hangs out with Ziju will be allowed to come! Those who don't come should not come, because who cares? Ziju will be an official in the future, and not everyone can curry favor with him. You are so shameless."
Shen Ziping kept saying yes, and Sun also nodded repeatedly.
Shen Zhang was silent this time. She thought that her eldest and second sons would definitely come. Even though they were separated, they were still her own sons! As for Shen Zian, he would not come back if he did not want to.
This time people gave me a lot of gifts, some ordinary ones included eggs, rice and flour, some expensive ones included gold, silver, jade, silk and satin, and many study treasures. Some people also gave me antiques, and someone even gave me a land deed.
Sun saw that the door of Shen Ziju's room was not locked, so she walked over and saw Shen Zhu inside with a lot of gold and silver jewelry in front of her. Shen Zhu was trying on a jade bracelet and she also had a red gold hairpin on her head, which looked very eye-catching.
Sun's eyes sparkled when she saw the glittering jewelry on Shen Zhu's head and hands.
Shen Zhu heard the door ring, turned around, and saw that it was Sun. She didn't answer her and went back to try another gold bracelet.
Sun came in and said with a cheeky smile: "Zhu'er, are you trying on jewelry? Oh, this gold hairpin really suits you. It makes you look more dignified and generous. You really look like a daughter of an official family!"
Shen Zhu smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law is really good at talking, but I am only trying the things here, I dare not take them, so no matter how many good things you say to me, I can't give them to you."
Sun's smile froze. She thought to herself, "You don't dare to take it. What a joke. You're about to get the key, and you still dare to say you don't dare to take it?" Anyway, my fifth brother likes you, and he won't care even if you take it all.
Shen Zhu saw that the smile on Sun's face had frozen, and laughed in her heart, then picked up a small box from the side, handed it to her, and said: "Here, this is for the third sister-in-law, I think it is quite suitable for you, but don't let your parents see it, if they see it, you can find a way to explain it yourself."
Sun took the box, opened it and saw an emerald green bracelet inside. It was obviously a good thing. Although Shen Zhu said that she couldn't let her parents-in-law see it because it was risky, she still couldn't resist her greed and held it tightly in her hand. She thanked Shen Zhu with a smile and then turned and left.
Shen Zhu continued to try on various jewelry there, and finally took a lot of good things and left. She thought that the young man would definitely give them to her, so she felt at ease taking them.
The next day, Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui came to the old house for dinner. Li was pregnant and did not come, so the children accompanied her. Chunlan was injured, so Chunxiang accompanied her. Dalang and Erlang were looking after the house, so in the end only the two brothers came together. They did bring some things, one carrying a piece of meat and the other carrying a chicken.
Seeing that only the two of them came, Shen Youfu didn't smile much, but he still sat together to eat. He told them that they were still a family even though they were separated, and they should come home often and not learn to be like the fourth child.
Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui responded to the previous words, but they were silent when it came to the last sentence. They really didn't think there was anything wrong with their fourth brother, so they really had no way to respond to Shen Youfu.
Finally, Shen Zhang asked them to take food back, and even gave Shen Zian a portion. Although Shen Zian hated her, she still had to act like a loving stepmother and let the villagers see it. The main reason she did this was that Shen Zian's family had money and holy beasts, and Shen Ziju might need them in the future.
Shen Zian just took a look at the food that Shen Zifu brought back, and then gave it to Liu Jin and Liu Yin.
Another half a month passed, and Shen Ziju came back. This time, he brought his entourage with him. He was wearing a fancy carriage and gorgeous clothes, and his appearance was completely different from when he left.
