530: One and a half years later, Shen Zhu's letter

u8 reading network

The days passed by like the river flowing out of the Daqing Mountain. The pond in Fuyuan remained unchanged, and the lotus flowers in it bloomed and withered and bloomed again. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.

In the past year and a half, Hebian Village has changed a lot. In addition to the main road, many streets in the village have been paved with blue bricks, and many families in the village have rebuilt their houses. It has become the richest village in the surrounding villages. Even many families in the town are envious of it, and this is all because of Fuyuan.

Now, if you look at the horse-drawn carriages coming and going on the main road, more than half of the ten are probably going to Hebian Village. They are all delivering goods to the vermicelli workshop in Fuyuan. The vermicelli in Hebian Village is now selling like hot cakes, not only throughout the country, but also to neighboring countries.

More than half of the villagers in Hebian Village work in the vermicelli workshop. The vermicelli workshop has expanded a lot, but the supply still cannot meet the demand. Many people from other villages want to come to Hebian Village to work.

Hebian Village is really prosperous. Everyone walks outside with their heads held high, as if they are carrying the wind, and the sound of their feet stepping on the ground is louder than that of others. The head of the village smiles every day, because their village has become strong, and he feels legitimate and proud.

Some are happy and some are sad. Everyone in Hebian Village who benefited from Fuyuan is happy and remembers the kindness of Shen Zian and Su Zhi. But some are unhappy and wish Shen Zian and Su Zhi would die soon.

The people who hated Shen Zian and his friends the most in the village were Dazhu's wife and Shen Ziping's grandson.

Zhao Dazhu and his wife snatched the house from Zhao Daliang and his family back then, and now they also live on the east side of the river, living in a big house. They were happy for a while but then they were not so happy anymore, because everyone in the village looked down on them. Even those who used to be close to them began to avoid them gradually because they were afraid of being alienated by others. Later, because he wanted to work in Fuyuan, he became a stranger to their family.

The Zhao family was the only one who was popular. The two adults were hated by everyone.

Zhao Dazhu and his wife originally thought that they had a big house and some money, and that as long as they had money, people would flatter them. They never thought that the people in the village were now working in Fuyuan and growing sweet potatoes and potatoes, and their lives were really no worse than theirs. However, Fuyuan did not harvest the sweet potatoes and potatoes they grew, so they could only watch others make money. Seeing other people's lives getting better and better, and more and more new houses being built, they were jealous, but there was nothing they could do.

Shen Zian and his wife are now rich, powerful, and popular. With the Holy Beast by their side, people from the county often come to Fuyuan as guests. Even the prefect often comes to hang out. Who can stop Shen Zian and his wife from having money and a big backer in the capital? Su Zhi is the daughter of a marquis. It is said that Su Zhi has even met the emperor.

Zhao Dazhu and his wife dared not complain, but urged their son to go to Fuyuan every day, hoping that their son could bring back some benefits.

If Zhao Dazhu and his wife were resentful and jealous, and wanted to curry favor with Shen Zian and others and change their lives, then Shen Ziping and Sun Shi were completely hateful. Sanlang was exiled to the border after all, and they didn't have any letters from the child. Even if they did, what would they do? It was impossible to bring him back, and this son could only be considered dead.

At first, Shen Ziping and Sun Shi had a good idea and wanted to go to the capital to ask Shen Ziju for help. However, before they set off, Mu Chengzhi warned them that the matter was investigated by the emperor himself and they had to report back. No one could save Sanlang, and it would be good enough to spare his life. If they wanted to make trouble, they would kill Sanlang directly.

Later, the third wife received a letter from the capital. In the letter, Shen Youfu scolded the couple severely and told them to stay in the countryside and not go to the capital to cause trouble for Shen Ziju. Sun's reply was that they could choose not to go, but they had to give them silver, and she asked for five hundred taels.

Shen Youfu came back once in person, scolded Shen Ziping, then threw him two hundred taels of silver and hurried back to the capital. He really couldn't stand the way the villagers looked at him, as if they were looking at him as if he were a fool. They must be laughing at him for not being good to Shen Zian and the others, but Shen Zian was living so well. Shen Youfu didn't go to Fuyuan either, he knew he couldn't get in, ever since they wanted to pass Wulang to the fourth room and ended up causing Su Zhi to have a miscarriage, even he couldn't go to Fuyuan.

The people of the third house paid one hundred taels of silver as compensation for the people who were poisoned by Sanlang. The remaining one hundred taels was a lot, and made them a wealthy family in the village. However, they were even more disliked than Zhao Dazhu's family, because they raised a vicious child like Sanlang, so they did not have a good life in the village.

Perhaps the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or perhaps they share the same suffering, but Dazhu's wife and Sun, two women who used to fight each other whenever they met, actually got along well with each other.

The people of Hebian Village watched the two families getting closer and laughed in their hearts, wondering what kind of people were getting together.

"Mrs. Zi'an, I saw Mrs. Ziping and Mrs. Dazhu talking together again today. They were talking to each other and it was definitely not good."

Mrs. Hua said to Su Zhi, "You should be nice to her. Su Zhi's status is not ordinary now. She is even more noble than the fairies in the sky. The existence of fairies in the sky is still unclear, but Su Zhi's status as the daughter of a marquis is real. Moreover, her son and daughter-in-law all depend on Su Zhi for their livelihood. Naturally, she treats her very well and her face is as smiling as a flower."

Hua Pozi's daughter-in-law is Wang Huazhi. Niu Dabao and Wang Huazhi love each other, but Niu Dabao is stubborn and insists on marrying Wang Huazhi. Hua Pozi has money and can marry a better daughter-in-law for her son, but her son refuses. Later, Hua Pozi agreed. Of course, she also saw that Wang Huazhi can make money and has a good relationship with Su Zhi. A woman living with her son is actually very prosperous. Many families are seeking to marry her, and there are some with better conditions than her son. When she saw that they didn't mind, what else could she complain about?

Wang Huazhi is now pregnant with another baby and will give birth next spring.

Hua Pozi is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law now. She is very filial to her after marriage, and she will give birth to a grandson for her. Even though she is pregnant, she still sits on the kang every day to weave some new patterns to make money. It's really good. As for the little burden, she was sent to the school. The teacher said that she is a good student and may be able to pass the high school in the future. Although she is not her own child, the child now calls her grandma. If she becomes an official in the future, won't she be the one who enjoys the happiness? Hua Pozi is also very happy with Tietou.

In short, Wang Huazhi secretly told Su Zhi that her current good life was all thanks to Su Zhi.

Su Zhi was very happy to see that Wang Huazhi was living a good life. Life was not easy for women in ancient times, especially for those who were divorced or whose husbands had died. It was like the sky had fallen on them. She would help if she could.

Su Zhi didn't dislike Hua Pozi too much. Sometimes she heard her tell her about things happening in the village, especially when she came to report on things happening in Zhao Dazhu's family and Shen Ziping's family. She quite liked listening to her. She still had to be on guard against these two families, and it would be good to have someone to help keep an eye on them.

"Is that so? Then please help keep an eye on them. If you find anything wrong with them, please tell me and I will reward you."

Su Zhi smiled and said that she still had to promise Hua Pozi some benefits, so that she would be more motivated.

When Mrs. Hua heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, Mrs. Zi'an, I will keep a close eye on them, and they won't try to harm you!"

After sending Hua Pozi away, Su Zhi went to see Lian Sheng and found that he was still asleep. She kissed his little face, tightened the quilt for him, and kissed Yueyue again. As a result, Yueyue opened his eyes.

"Yueyue is awake, do you still want to sleep?"

"My brother hasn't woken up yet. Yueyue wants to sleep." Yueyue looked at Liansheng beside her, yawned a little, and said sleepily, "Mom, I just dreamed about Xiaori and Xing'er. I miss them so much. Will we go to see them during the Chinese New Year this year?"

Last year, Lian Sheng was still young and it snowed early, so they did not go to the capital. This year, Lian Sheng is over one year old and has grown very strong, so Su Zhi also wants to take him to the capital.

"Mother misses them too. We are going to the capital this year. We will leave soon and celebrate the New Year together. The lantern festival in the capital must be very beautiful. Yueyue can go and watch it with them."

"Very good."

Yueyue smiled and yawned after hearing that. Su Zhi saw that she was sleepy, so she patted her and asked her to continue sleeping. Yueyue closed her eyes and soon fell asleep again.

Shen Zian walked in, looked at the two children, and smiled. Su Zhi stood with him, and both felt very happy. The couple left the house, let the maid go in to look after the children, and then they went to another room to talk.

"We plan to go to the capital this year. I want to go earlier and hand over the workshop to Brother Shitou and the others. I haven't celebrated the New Year with my parents for several years."

Su Zhi said softly, thinking about the people in the Mu family, they were really good to her and made her feel the warmth given by family, but she didn't spend the New Year with them.

Shen Zian said, "Then let's pack up and go. Let's go when the weather is not too cold, so as not to let the kids suffer."

"That's what I thought."

"Wife, I have something to tell you. Just listen to it and don't take it to heart." Shen Zian said, looking at Su Zhi staring at him, and continued, "Shen Zhu sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that she has been married to the Wang family for a year and a half, and she is still pregnant, and asked you to think of a way. I ignored her, but you are going to the capital, maybe she will come to bother you, don't pay attention to her. I think she still hasn't repented, and she has become more domineering, so let her learn a lesson." (
