56 The First and Third Wife Want Ginseng

(Girls' Literature)

Zhao Dazhu and his wife got off the car at the nearest intersection to their home. The couple looked at the ox cart slowly going away. They were both envious and jealous. They wondered how such good luck could fall on Shen Zian and his wife, but not on them. They couldn't beat the tiger, they couldn't encounter the holy beast, and they couldn't even find a single ginseng. It's really true that comparing yourself to others makes you die!

"Let's go! Stop looking and go tell the Shen family that Shen Si is back!"

Dazhu's wife pushed Zhao Dazhu and rushed forward. She could not get any benefit from Shen Zian, but at least she wanted to see the excitement!

Zhao Dazhu wanted to call his wife to stop him. He wanted to tell her that Shen Zian was a man who could kill a tiger, so she shouldn't go against him. As soon as they came back, someone came to the Shen family, and they would definitely think that they were the ones who delivered the letter. But when he wanted to say this, his wife had already run away.

Zhao Dazhu moved his mouth but didn't shout out. He thought the Shen family would know anyway, so he just said it. He was also very jealous of Shen Zian's luck. When he was a child, he was always better than himself. When he grew up, he became the most handsome and capable young man in the village, and was liked by many girls, while he could only marry such an ugly woman. He married a sick wife who was so ugly. Just when he felt a little relieved, Shen Zian's ugly wife actually recovered from her illness and now she doesn't look ugly at all. At least her figure is much better than his wife. And she also made a fortune. Why did he meet such a good thing alone?

Zhao Dazhu also wanted to see Shen Zian's excitement. Thinking of this, he also walked back slowly. Even if Shen Zian knew that they sent the letter, would he dare to hit him? They just met him on the road. He was telling the truth. No one could find fault with him!

Zhao Dazhu didn't expect that because of his jealousy at that time, he would lose the opportunity to make money in the future and become one of the poorest families in the village.

Shen Ziping was coming back from the east side of the river. He went to block Shen Zian's door at dawn, but found it locked. He knew he was too late, so he took Shen Youfu with him and rode a bullock cart to the town. When he found the medicine shop, they said no one was selling ginseng. They knew he had gone to the county town.

Shen Ziping wanted to chase after him, but Shen Youfu didn't want to go because someone had seen them on the way here. And someone among those people saw them go to the east side of the river. Shen Youfu felt embarrassed. He didn't want to be accused of chasing his son to the county town for ginseng. That would be too embarrassing. In the end, Shen Ziping and Shen Youfu went home because it was still far to the county town, and his father didn't give him money, so he didn't want to walk there.

After Shen Ziping came back, he went to the east side of the river to block Shen Zian, but he never saw him. He came back for a walk, but before he even got home, he ran into Zhao Dazhu's wife next door, who waved at him.

"Sister-in-law Dazhu, why are you sweating so much? Are you missing Dazhu? Are you in a hurry to go home to see him?"

Shen Ziping said with a smile that although Dazhu's wife was uglier than his wife and stronger than him, he and Dazhu had a good relationship, and since they were close, he had no restraint in his words.

Dazhu's wife snorted, wiped the sweat off her head, and said, "You are the one who missed your wife! My boss is walking behind me! I came to tell you good news. We went to the last episode. I ran into your fourth brother! He bought a bullock cart and came back with a lot of things on it. I looked through it and saw grain, meat, cloth, and cotton. Oh! It must be several dozen taels in total, right? He really made a fortune! Do you think the money from the tiger seller can be more than these things? Don't they have a ginseng root? Did they sell that? I don't know how much silver he got from it, it must be several hundred taels, right? Oh - I haven't finished yet!"

Shen Ziping didn't bother to listen to her nagging. He just heard that Shen Zian came back, and that was enough!

"Dad! Fourth brother is back! Shall we go get some ginseng?!"

Shen Ziping ran into the main room and said to Shen Youfu, he didn't mention what Shen Zian bought. But he knew that Shen Youfu was going there in the name of ginseng. If he said that the ginseng might be sold, he was worried that Shen Youfu would consider whether to go or not!

Shen Youfu knocked on the tobacco pot, stood up, and said, "Come on, you come with me, old woman, you also come with me, no one else should go."

Sun, who was walking in, sounded a little dissatisfied. She thought that if she didn't go with them, the things she could get would definitely be less, and it was still unclear whether she could get any for her own room. She must go with them!

"Dad, I'll go too. I'll have a good talk there. My fourth brother's wife made me so angry that I almost lost my son. They'll look at me and try to be more reasonable."

Chuncao was looking inside, and she said loudly, "Third Auntie! Didn't you say that my Fourth Auntie is a loser? You'd better stay away from her!"

"You little brat! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Sun was so angry that she scolded Chuncao. Chuncao hid behind Li who was walking over and made faces at Sun. She really hated this aunt.

When Li heard Sun scolding her daughter, she said with a gloomy face, "Third sister-in-law, our Cao'er was telling the truth and was concerned about you. Why are you scolding her for no reason? Take good care of your pregnancy, and don't blame it on us if you get pregnant again!"

Sun glared at Li and said, "Does she care about me? Look at how she talks back! She is so unruly. Not only did you give birth to a concubine, but you also don't know how to raise her. She will cause trouble for us in the future! It's a good thing that I teach her a lesson!"

"I think I have raised my daughter very well! If my daughter gets into trouble in the future, it will be us as her parents who will bear the brunt of it. Don't worry, it won't be your fault. I just hope you won't cause us any trouble! As for your sons, each one of them will cause trouble. I don't want them even if they are given to me!"

As Li spoke, her eyes turned red. She glared at Sun, turned around and took Chuncao away, saying as she walked, "Cao'er, remember, you will not be supported by the third wife's family in the future. You are from the second wife's family, you have parents and sisters! You won't starve to death!"

Sun wanted to curse again, but was stopped by Shen Zhang.

"Why are you lecturing your niece when you have nothing to do? Haven't you been saying that you are not feeling well? And why do you want to join in the fun? I think you should just stay home!"

Shen Youfu stared at Sun and said, he wondered why there was such a restless daughter-in-law in this family? If he didn't take care of it, his youngest son would be implicated by her when he became an official in the future. Besides, it was indeed she who had been making a fuss about the fourth daughter-in-law being a bad luck star, which was why he made a fuss about dividing the family. When he thought about the silver and ginseng that he didn't handle because of the division of the family, he was also annoyed with Sun. Wouldn't it be even more ridiculous for her to go to the east of the river?

When Sun heard this, she became anxious and looked at Shen Zhang immediately.

Shen Zhang said, "Master, let the third daughter-in-law go. If it was a misunderstanding before, then she went with the sincerity to reconcile. Zi'an will definitely forgive her for going despite her weak health."

Shen Zhu also said, "Yes, Dad, let my third sister-in-law go. She also went to the fourth brother's house yesterday. Everyone in the village saw it. It's okay for her to go again today!"

In fact, Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu both had their own ideas. Shen Zhang felt that Sun was a troublemaker and that only such a shameless person would ask for money. Shen Zhu thought that if the third sister-in-law went there and the fourth brothers did not give them the money, the third sister-in-law would just fall to the ground, and the fourth brothers would either take the money or wait for the bad reputation to fall on their heads!

Shen Youfu frowned and said, "Then follow me!"

Wang heard the chaotic footsteps in the yard, and heard Chunxiang, who was leaning on the window and looking out through the crack, tell her who went out. She knew that these people went to the east side of the river. She snorted and thought that she had finally sent the head of the family and the two sons away. Otherwise, they would be called to go with them. Wouldn't it be a joke? She was jealous of the fourth room's wealth, and she also wanted her parents-in-law to take some from him, but she was not greedy for this. She just hoped that there would be more money in the public treasury so that she could save her own money. She still had four children to marry!

Although Shen Youfu only took Shen Zhang and the third wife out, Sanlang and Silang still took the little Wulang and followed quietly behind.

When this group of people came down, few people in Hebian Village who saw them didn't know what they were going to do. Now was the idle time for farmers and people didn't have much work to do. They had just finished their meals and were digesting their food. Everyone was idle and naturally wanted to join in the fun. As a result, more and more people followed behind.

Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi knew that as soon as they entered the house, someone from the Shen family would come. They couldn't trust Zhao Dazhu and his wife. Besides, even if the couple were not there, other people who saw them would report it. People in the countryside are like this. If something attracts attention, almost half of the village will know about it in a short while!

Sure enough, just as the two men put the things on the ox cart into the house, Shen Youfu came with his men.

"Dad, Mom, you're here. We just got back and there's no water at home. Please sit down first."

Shen Zian said to Shen Youfu and Shen Zhangshi that he ignored Shen Ziping and his wife. However, the couple was shameless and found a broken bench to sit on.

"Zi'an, I came here to ask you for something. It's the ginseng. You know your fifth brother will take the exam to become a scholar next year. He is the hope for our Shen family to be glorious. We may all be counting on him in the future. But his body is too weak. I heard that ginseng can replenish the body. Your ginseng is said to be a thousand-year-old ginseng and a gift from a holy beast. It must be effective. Give it to your fifth brother!"

Shen Youfu got straight to the point. He was not the type to beat around the bush, and sometimes he was even irritable. It was normal for him to ask Shen Zian for something so calmly. It was impossible for him to beg and beg. As for having ulterior motives, he thought it was unnecessary. He was the father, and it was only natural for him to ask his son for something. (
