Chapter 440: Settlement of Accounts

Shen Yu came over at this time, she also heard clearly what happened, and told Shen Zian to go home, and she would go home by herself. Although she was also worried that her mother's family would make a fuss because of what her third brother did, she didn't want to care. This was Shen Zian and Su Qiang who were wronged, and she couldn't help her parents persuade Shen Zian not to care, so she could only avoid it.

Shen Zian hired a mule carriage for Shen Yu and asked her to go home after buying things. He found a rope to tie up the liar, threw him on the carriage, and then returned to Hebian Village.

Soon they returned to Hebian Village. Shen Zian parked the carriage in front of the gate of the Shen family's old house and rushed into the house.

Chunhua was in the yard. When she saw Shen Zian coming, she hurriedly called him "Fourth Uncle". However, looking at Shen Zian's face, she was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything else.

"Where are your parents?!" Shen Zian asked Chunhua. He suppressed his anger, but his tone was still very stern, and it sounded like he was here to settle a score.

Chunhua was startled, but she didn't dare to lie, so she said, "My mother went to wash clothes under the big willow tree at the village entrance. My father went out too, so I think he went there too."

After hearing this, Shen Zian said nothing else and turned around to leave.

At this time, Shen Youfu came out of the house and said to Shen Zian: "It would be fine if you didn't come, but why are you shouting as soon as you come? Your father is not dead yet! Do you still regard me as your father? You are shouting as soon as you come in, as if you are looking for someone to fight with! If you want to kill me, come and take my life!"

Shen Zhang followed behind, pulled Shen Youfu, and said, "Old man, don't be angry. It will damage your health if you get angry."

Then he asked Shen Zian: "Zi'an, why did you come in so angrily to find your third brother and his wife? How did they offend you? Didn't we not mention the inheritance issue? You also beat up Sanlang, and now his arm still hurts and he can't work. Why are you still angry?"

Shen Zian looked at them and said, "Today is not about that matter! I came to them today to settle the previous account! If I don't talk about this matter, I will be sorry to my wife! Shen Ziping and Sun are not my third brother and sister-in-law, they are my enemies! If you want to know what immoral things they have done, you can come and listen for yourself. I don't even want to tell you. That's the good son you taught!"

Shen Zian finished speaking loudly, turned around and left. He felt depressed if he stayed here for a while longer.

Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang didn't know what was going on. They only knew that Shen Ziping's past bad deeds were discovered by Shen Zian, and that was related to Su Zhi, so Shen Zian was so furious. The two looked at each other. They all chased after them. On the one hand, they were worried that Shen Zian would beat Shen Ziping and Sun in a rage, and on the other hand, they didn't know what Shen Ziping and the others had done that was known. It seemed that the old house would be embarrassed again!

Chunhua watched Grandpa and Grandma go out. She wanted to go out with them, but Sanlang came out of the house. He had been staying at home for the past few days and felt that his arm was still hurting. He was scared when Shen Zian came just now and didn't dare to go out. He heard that Shen Zian was here to settle accounts with his parents. He was also curious about what happened. He waited until Shen Zian left before he came out. He asked Chunhua to stay at home and ran out in a hurry.

Chunhua could only stay at home, wondering what her parents had done to make her fourth uncle so angry. Her fourth uncle was so scary just now. In her impression, her fourth uncle was always calm. Even when he was angry, he never yelled so loudly. It seemed that it was related to her fourth aunt. Her fourth uncle was so good to her. It would be great if she could meet such a good husband in the future. Chunhua blushed and took a rest when no one was at home.

At least Chunhua couldn't care whether her parents were being punished or not, and she didn't want to care. She had given up on her parents.

Shen Zian drove the carriage to the riverside, saw Shen Ziping, and immediately drove the carriage over.

It was the time when the afternoon heat was just about to pass but had not yet gone away. People who were taking a nap had just woken up, and many people were sitting by the river with sleepy eyes. That was the favorite place for idle people in the village to stay. Women who were washing clothes were washing clothes by the river. When there were many people, it was very lively here.

Shen Ziping is very thick-skinned. He used to hide when he encountered scandals, but now that Shen Ziju has been convicted, no one dares to say anything bad about him, so he has become even more shameless. He just came back from Shen Zian's house after being insulted, and after hiding for a day, he ran to the river to chat again, not caring at all about how others look at him.

Shen Zian's carriage drove over quickly, making a lot of noise, which naturally attracted the gossips' ears. When they saw Shen Zian's carriage, envy flashed in their eyes. They wanted to see Shen Zian, who had such a large family business at such a young age, and his smart, capable and beautiful wife was even pregnant. This broke the rumor that he was too blessed and would have no descendants. This man's blessings were really unstoppable.

Shen Zian's carriage stopped in front of them and Shen Zian jumped out of the carriage.

The people who were chatting idlely all immediately greeted Shen Zian.

"Zi'an, are you back from the town?"

"Zi'an, your family has such good cows and horses. Look at this big horse, it's really majestic. People call it a thousand-mile horse. Maybe your horse is one of them."

"Fourth Brother Shen, if you still need someone, just ask me to go. I have plenty of strength."

"And my kid is not young anymore, and he's very smart. Remember him when the time comes!"

"Zi'an, is your wife feeling better?"

Everyone was talking, but when they heard this, they immediately stopped talking, thinking that Shen Ziping was here. They looked at Shen Zian's face again, and it looked really ugly. But it seemed that his face was gloomy just now. Could it be that he saw Shen Ziping sitting here and wanted to settle the score with him again?

Shen Ziping was thinking about who had mentioned Su Zhi just now. Looking at Shen Zian's face, it was as dark as a cloudy day before rain! He was really scared when he saw it.

"Fourth brother, you're back from all this busy time!" Shen Ziping greeted Shen Zian with a smile.

"Go and call Sun over here! I have something to ask you!"

Shen Zian said with a sullen face that he had to call the couple together and tell the story in front of everyone, so that everyone could see and hear how wronged his wife was! Let them all know that they were wrong when they said his wife was a bad luck charm, and let everyone know who was responsible for this!

When Shen Ziping heard Shen Zian ask him to call his wife, he wondered what he was going to do. However, under Shen Zian's gaze, he still stood up and shouted at Sun who was not far away.

Sun had already seen Shen Zian a long time ago. When she heard Shen Ziping calling her, she really didn't want to go over. However, all the women who were washing clothes with her were looking at her, so she had to go over. She could only stand up and go over empty-handed.

"Fourth brother, what do you want to talk to us about?" Sun asked with a smile, thinking that what happened that day was in the past. If Shen Zian wanted to deal with them, he would have done it a long time ago. Why did he come now, and in front of so many people? Could it be something else? Looking at his face, it's not a good thing! At this time, Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang came hurriedly. When Shen Ziping and Sun saw them, their hearts skipped a beat, thinking that something really happened!

Because Shen Youfu and his companions looked so anxious, they attracted many people. Some of them went to find the head of the village. Jinhua's mother also followed them. They all came very quickly.

Shen Zian pulled the liar out of the carriage and threw him to the ground. The liar screamed in pain, startling the people around him. They all took a step back, wondering why Shen Zian had tied someone up. Who was this person? I didn't recognize him!

Shen Youfu asked loudly at that time: "Zi'an, where did you kidnap this person from? You are not a government official, you are just an ordinary citizen, why would you kidnap someone for no reason? If this person is a thief, why did you send him to the government and bring him to the village? It's outrageous!"

Shen Zhang was worried. Just now, Shen Zi'an went to see someone from the third house. Could it be that this person had done bad things with the people from the third house, or knew about the bad things that the third house had done?

The village head came over and asked Shen Zian what was going on.

Shen Zian said: "Fellow villagers, do you remember when my wife first married into our village, the villagers said she was a lucky star?"

When everyone heard this, their faces were all a little embarrassed. They did suspect that Su Zhi was a bad luck star at first, but later, as Shen Zian's family became more and more prosperous, they all felt that it was wrong to believe in the old Taoist priest. They turned to believe that Su Zhi was a lucky star. I didn't expect that after so long, Shen Zian would bring up this matter again.

The village chief tried to smooth things over by saying, "Zi'an, that matter is in the past. Now tell me what happened to this man."

Shen Zian said: "Today I went to the town and happened to see the servants of Mr. Zhang's family chasing this man. This man also went to the Zhang family to cheat. This man is the old Taoist priest, the old immortal!"

As soon as Shen Zian said this, everyone went wild and walked forward to look at the liar on the ground. They all said that this man was so young, how could he be the old Taoist priest? However, the more they looked, the more they found that this man looked like the old Taoist priest. At this time, Shen Zian took out a bundle from the car, opened it and threw it on the ground. There were several clumps of black and white hair inside. It can be seen that as long as it is attached to the face and worn on the head, it is hair and beard!

"This one has white hair, and this one has a white beard! Just like the old Taoist priest!"

Someone called out, and then looked at the man's face, imagining that his hair had turned white and he had grown a white beard. That must be the old Taoist priest! Now everyone believed that this was the old Taoist priest!
