440: The Reason for Returning

"Dad, Mom, why are you back? I was wondering why the magpie kept chirping so much this morning that I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about some happy event. It turns out that you are coming back. This is really a happy event! Are you tired? Come into the house and have a rest!"

Sun said nice things while looking back. She saw that there was no one in the carriage. She thought Shen Zhu did not come back with them. But then she thought it was better for Shen Zhu not to come back. She was just a spoiled young lady who would only be served by others. It would be better for her to stay in the capital. They could rest easy and wait for her to marry into a good family. Then they could benefit from it!

Seeing several bundles in the car, Sun's eyes lit up. She thought that these were brought back by the old couple. She didn't know what good things they brought back from the capital!

"Dad, Mom, that's your gift, right? Let me help you carry it in!" Sun said, calling out to Sanlang and Chunhua, asking them to help her, because she couldn't carry it by herself. While calling out, she had already gone over and touched the bundle with her hands, trying to see if she could feel out what was inside. It would be best if it was something hard, because that could be silver!

Sun touched the bundles one by one and found a cloth-wrapped bundle inside. It was square and looked like a box. She thought it might contain silver. Her eyes immediately narrowed into slits with a smile. She thought that now they were the only family at home, so it must have been brought back for them.

Sanlang and Chunhua came over and helped Sun take down all the bags.

Shen Ziping also came out at this time, and was talking affectionately with Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang. He was very happy in his heart. He wondered if his fifth brother was short of manpower in the capital, so he wanted him to go there!

"The driver escorted us all the way back from the capital. Go and make some arrangements for him so that he can have a meal and take a rest."

Shen Youfu said to Shen Ziping.

Shen Ziping sighed and went to arrange for the driver.

Shen Zhang asked Sun's mother and daughter to carry all the things into the house. She had already opened the door.

After entering the house, they saw that it was a little gray inside. Although it was not thick, it was a little dirty. Shen Zhang was a clean person, so she immediately asked Sun to bring people to clean the house for them.

When Sun heard that she had to work, she was reluctant. But when she thought about the benefits and that she couldn't offend her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she could only smile and agree, and then ordered Chunhua to clean up. She said she was going to inform the brothers on the east side of the river, and then she left in a flash, so she finally escaped from the work.

Sun first went to the main room. She opened the door. She told Chunlan and Chunxiang who stayed at home to tell the people in the second room that she was in a hurry to go to Fuyuan again. This time she still couldn't enter Fuyuan, so she could only stand outside the door and wait angrily. She naturally saw the white wolf waving its majestic claws at Zhao Yang and Zhao Xiaomei. She didn't dare to enter Fuyuan casually, in case it hit her too. It would be too painful.

It was just time for the lunch break, so Wang came out, but Shen Zian and Su Zhi did not come out. They still would not go to the old house, but Shen Zian had someone send a pot of wine and a smoked rabbit to welcome the two elders back.

When Sun saw the rabbit, her mouth was watering. She knew that Su Zhi was very skilled in smoking meat, and she felt a little hungry just by smelling the aroma.

Wang looked down on Sun as soon as she saw her like that, but she didn't want to pay attention to her. Anyway, she couldn't let Sun eat it on the way, and it would eventually be handed over to Shen Youfu and his men. She walked away with her chest held high, holding the wine in her hand, thinking that the wine was what would make Shen Youfu happy the most, and the rabbit was just an accessory.

Wang went to call Chunlan and Chunxiang. Although the two girls were reluctant to go to the old house, they still went out for the sake of filial piety.

Li had already finished her confinement, and the weather was good, but she was reluctant to take her son out. There were always accidents in the old house before, and she didn't want to let her hard-earned son get hurt. Not to mention her, even Chunyue and the others were unwilling to do so. In the end, she took Chuncao and Chunyun to the old house, and Chunyue stayed at home to look after her brother.

When they arrived at the old house, the group paid their respects to Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang.

Shen Youfu saw that the three sons who had separated from the family were nowhere to be seen, and his face turned dark. Before he could ask, Wang said that Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui had gone out to deliver vermicelli, and Dalang and Erlang had also gone with them. Shen Youfu's face looked better, but as for Shen Zian, he knew he would not come when he saw the jar of wine and rabbits, and secretly cursed this son for being too stubborn, but fortunately he still fulfilled his filial duty and sent him things, so he was too lazy to say anything to him.

Shen Zhang felt uncomfortable, wondering if Shen Zian still held a grudge and was still investigating what happened. Su Zhi was so lucky. If he really found out something, she would be in big trouble.

Thinking about what happened during this trip to the capital, Shen Zhang was filled with fear.

"Dad, Mom, is the capital city good? Why don't you stay there for a few more days? Why are you coming back so soon?"

Wang asked. She thought that going to the capital once would be enough to waste time and money. It had only been a short time since her father-in-law and mother-in-law left. They probably hadn't stayed in the capital for a month. They were back now. It was really unlike them. She thought they would not come back even if they were uncomfortable there. Even if they came back, they would have to wait for a while to show off that they were living well. Now they came back, and she didn't know what happened.

Sun also said, "That's right, Dad, Mom, the capital must be a lot of fun. You've only been there for a few days, can you have enough fun? Is there something important you're going to do? Just send us a message and we'll take care of it. You're so tired. We, as your sons and daughters-in-law, feel bad for you."

Li held one of her daughters in each hand and stood aside without saying a word.

Shen Youfu said, "Your mother was a little homesick while living there, and she was not feeling well. The doctor said it was because she was worrying too much, so I came back. I will go back when she gets better."

Except for the younger Chunyun, Chuncao, Silang and Wulang, everyone else in the room was a little surprised. They thought, is it possible that a person like Shen Zhang would feel homesick?

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Shen Zhang said, "This person doesn't realize it until he leaves. Now that he's gone, he realizes that he really misses home. You'll understand when you have a chance to go out."

Several sons and daughters-in-law all agreed.

Shen Zhang sat there with a smile on her face, but her heart was filled with bitterness. She wanted to live in the capital city, and she had been looking forward to going there for so many years. But she never expected that she would meet someone she never wanted to meet in her life, and she had to run back in such a desperate situation!

I’m too sleepy. It’s still 2,000 words. I’ll make up for it tomorrow.
