Chapter 43: This Husband is Not Foolishly Filial
Li Shi's house was not far from Shen Zian's house, and they arrived there in a moment.
Su Zhi knew that beating a tiger would be very lively. No matter what time it was, a tiger could not be killed easily. She could hear the hustle and bustle coming from the direction of Li Shi's house not far away while standing in the yard. But how did the sound come to her own house now? She was just thinking about it when she heard Shen Zian knocking on the door. She went to open it and saw a large group of people standing outside. The head of the village was also standing aside. She could only let them in first.
Now Su Zhi's face has improved a lot, so she no longer covered her face, so the village head and other people near the door saw it at a glance, thinking that Zi'an's wife has really recovered from her illness! She recovered too quickly, and she was so scary a few days ago. It seems that Su Zhi may not be a bad luck after all.
Because there were too many people, Shen Zian did not invite anyone into the house and asked everyone to wait outside.
The head of the village and others didn't care. Although Su Zhi's reputation as a house-sweeper had been shaken, it had not been completely gone. They still didn't dare to get too close to her and felt uncomfortable entering the house where she lived.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi walked into the house together, and Li Shi followed behind.
"Sister-in-law, I told you about the ginseng. I originally wanted you to hide it so that no one would get jealous and snatch it away, but now that things have come to a head, I think it's more beneficial to tell you."
Li Shi told Su Zhi that he did this after careful consideration and he was not afraid that Su Zhi would disagree. He could see that his sister-in-law was a sensible and intelligent person and would know that this would be better for them and their husband.
"This will improve your reputation. As for the silver from selling the ginseng, of course some people will want it, but as long as you say it was given by the holy beast, most people will be able to dispel their bad intentions. If you are still worried, just sell it, and build the house while it's not too cold and the ground is not frozen! Once the silver is spent, no one will want it! You don't have to freeze this winter."
"Brother Stone is absolutely right."
Su Zhi thought that this Stone Brother was very quick-witted. She had actually figured out that the silver could not be hidden. Even if it was sold secretly, he would have to find another excuse to build the house next year. It would be better to spend it openly, and build a better house. Li Yu was defeated, and he caught several wild rabbits and pheasants in a short time.
Su Zhi believes that people want to live a better life, a good house, good clothes, good food and drinks, not only for the couple, but also for their children in the future. And she has the White Lotus, so her future will definitely be prosperous. It is easy to become rich. Can she live in a shabby house and eat good food quietly because she is afraid of being taken advantage of by others?
That's impossible.
Su Zhi also thought that someone would come to extort money. Even Li Shi had thought of this and wanted her to keep the money quietly. She even thought of the plots in the novels she had read where every heroine and her family were taken advantage of by grandpa, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, and other top relatives in the name of various reasons. In the end, she thought that although this was troublesome, she could deal with it and ensure that the money was firmly in her hands.
There is only one reason: her husband is not a foolishly filial man, and she is not a tolerant person.
Filial piety has been the most important thing since ancient times. Whatever is due to Shen Youfu and Shen Zhangshi will definitely be given. As for those things they wish for, let them continue to wish for them.
Su Zhi would not let the word "filial piety" crush her, so she would naturally not be afraid of being begged for money. It would certainly be more troublesome than hiding the money and spending it quietly, but in order to live a good life, it would be troublesome, especially now it was to get rid of the name of a loser.
Su Zhi went to take out the ginseng and gave it to Shen Zian.
Shen Zian took the ginseng and said to Su Zhi, "Don't worry, my wife. You found this ginseng, so it's yours. You don't have to worry about your parents asking for money."
Su Zhi thought, this is her husband, she was not wrong, this is probably her greatest luck in this world, even luckier than getting the Lingquan White Lotus!
As soon as Shen Zian took the ginseng out, everyone's eyes fell on his hand. They found that it was wrapped in a piece of blue cloth. Some people were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks. Even if it was not theirs, they still wanted to open their eyes. That was a hundred-year-old ginseng given by the holy beast!
Shen Zian opened the cloth bag, and the ginseng inside was revealed. Everyone's eyes widened. Su Zhi smiled secretly in her heart. She was not surprised by their reactions. When she first saw the ginseng dug out, wasn't she the same as them? The main reason was that this ginseng was too extraordinary.
This ginseng was watered with spiritual spring water and looks like a white radish, but it is much thinner than a radish. It really looks like a human figure, with very long roots that are carefully bent up. If you don't look at those roots, at first glance, you would really think it is a little baby!
"What a treasure——"
The headman took the ginseng with shaking hands, thinking that there was actually such a treasure on the Daqing Mountain. He had never seen such a treasure in his life. Now that he had seen it, it was a blessing!
Shen Youfu and Sun stood aside, both of them staring at the ginseng. Shen Youfu was better, as he was drooling over the ginseng but not too obviously. Sun was different, as she looked as if she wanted to snatch the ginseng and eat it.
"Li Zheng, let me take a look."
Sun thought and did it, and he was about to reach out to grab the ginseng, and his action was like snatching it.
Shen Zian immediately blocked her hand and said coldly: "Third sister-in-law, just take a look at it. This ginseng belongs to my wife. Don't you think she is a bad luck? It's better not to touch it, so as not to be contaminated by bad luck."
Sun's face immediately turned red, and she reluctantly retracted her outstretched hand amid the laughter of the crowd, hesitatingly saying, "The things sent by the holy beast cannot be touched by bad luck, and it is ginseng, a treasure in the mountains, it is a good omen! It's okay to touch it..."
Shen Youfu glared at Sun, then looked at Shen Zian with a gloomy face, thinking that this son was always so unpleasant, and now that the family was divided, he no longer treated his family as relatives.
The head of the village had presided over the division of the Shen family and had known about the Shen family's affairs over the years. Of course, he knew about the feud between Shen Zi'an and Sun, and he also knew about Shen Youfu's past favoritism, so he did not give the ginseng to Shen Youfu to take a look, but returned it to Shen Zi'an.
"Zi'an, this is indeed a rare hundred-year-old ginseng. It is estimated that it has existed for a thousand years. It is a gift from the holy beast. You are so lucky." He looked at Su Zhi again and said, "Your wife's illness has recovered. Live a good life in the future. Next time you meet the holy beast, you must treat it well and say good things about Hebian Village."
Shen Zian nodded, Su Zhi smiled in her heart, thinking that this was treating the white wolf as a god. It was a holy beast only because its ancestors had saved the emperor. This was just a title, and it didn't really have any spiritual powers. But when she thought of the white wolf's family, she felt that they were really quite spiritual.
After this commotion, the villagers began to doubt Su Zhi's reputation as a bad luck charm.
The Shen family is also very lively now. Ever since Erlang and Sanlang came home to deliver the letter, the Shen family has been busy. Everyone's mood has changed from surprise to joy and then to regret. Everyone has different thoughts. Some are happy for Shen Zian, while others are the complete opposite.
***Oh yeah, Zi'an is really not someone who would be crushed by filial piety, he really loves his wife...
