Chapter 79: The Story of Heroes and Beauties
(Girls' Literature)
The man had an ordinary appearance, but he was very comfortable to look at. Even though he was not smiling, he looked very gentle. His eyes were also very gentle. At first glance, he was one of the most ordinary but most simple and kind-hearted people. He was wearing a set of coarse cloth clothes and trousers, which were quite old but clean after washing. He was wearing a pair of cotton shoes, which were obviously last year's old shoes.
The woman was about 20 years old, also wearing coarse cloth clothes, with her hair combed neatly and a silver hairpin on it, but the silver hairpin was a bit old and dull. Her face should be pretty, but a bit thin and dry, and it can be seen that her life was not good and she was too tired, so she was a bit prematurely aged. The woman's eyes were also pure, and it can be seen that she was a simple person like the man.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
The little baby in the woman's arms smelled the aroma of meat coming from the kitchen, bit his fingers and drooled, looking at Su Zhi and Shen Zian with his big, shining eyes, and then looked into the kitchen, as if he could see what was eating.
Su Zhi saw that this little doll was a little girl, with two high-hanging braids on her head, fair and tender, but a little thin, but still very cute with red lips, white teeth and big eyes. When she saw her biting her fingers and drooling, she thought she was so cute, and her heart softened. Whether in the past life or this life, Su Zhi loved children, of course, she meant children with cute personalities, and she didn't like bad ones.
The woman said to the little girl, "Be good, Ye'er. I'll get you something to eat later."
When Shen Zian heard Su Zhi asking who these people were, he said, "Wife, this is my eldest sister Shen Yu. This is my brother-in-law Yang Qingshan, and this little girl is their daughter Ye'er. They are here to warm our house today. Sister, brother-in-law, this is my wife Zhao Xiaomei. But that name doesn't match her fate, so for the sake of auspiciousness, I changed her name to Su Zhi. Ye'er. Call me Fourth Aunt."
Ye Er looked at Su Zhi and whispered, "Fourth Aunt."
Only then did Su Zhi realize that this was Shen Zi'an's sister. She had heard Shen Zi'an talk about this sister. This Shen Yu could be said to be a special person in the Shen family.
Shen Yu was a flower at that time, but when she went to the county town to play, she met a bad guy. At that time, she happened to be met by Yang Qingshan, who rescued her heroically. He rescued Shen Yu from the wolf's claws, but he broke one of his hands. After the hand was reattached, he could not move flexibly. For people who work on the land, without this hand, they are useless. They are people who can't make a living.
Yang Qingshan was not unlucky. What was unlucky was that the bad guy's family was rich. Yang Qingshan beat that guy, but that guy was so angry that he bit back and said that Yang Qingshan was the one who molested the women. No matter how Shen Yu spoke for Yang Qingshan, the officials who received the money said that Yang Qingshan molested the women. Because Shen Yu insisted that he was not, Yang Qingshan was fined in the end to pay the real bad guy for his injuries. He was not sentenced to prison. But even so, Yang Qingshan's reputation was ruined. Others said that he was a molester, and the villagers avoided him. Even the family he had been engaged to came to cancel the engagement, saying that they could not marry their daughter to such a person with bad morals.
Shen Yu saw that her lifesaver had become like this because of her, and insisted on marrying him. Of course, the Shen family disagreed. Not to mention that Yang Qingshan had become like that, even if he was still fine, the Shen family would not agree. Shen Yu was beautiful, and there were many people who wanted to marry her. She could even marry in the county town. How could the Shen family be willing to let her marry a man like that? It would be like a flower stuck in cow dung.
In the end, Shen Yu threatened to die and ran to find Yang Qingshan. In the end, everyone knew about the incident. Others said that Yang Qingshan was a flower thief, and Shen Yu would naturally not have a good reputation if she was in such a hurry to marry him. Some people even said that Shen Yu had been seduced by Yang Qingshan. Some even said that Shen Yu was pregnant with Yang Qingshan's child, so she was in such a hurry to marry Yang Qingshan, otherwise her belly would be big.
After this incident, the reputation of both of them was ruined. In the end, Shen Youfu agreed to let Shen Yu marry Yang Qingshan in a fit of anger. However, she didn't bring any dowry. She just got married with the clothes she wore.
I heard that after they got married, they were separated by Yang Qingshan's parents and were almost kicked out of the house, leading a very difficult life.
Shen Zian took the initiative to tell her some of these things. As for how Shen Yu agreed to Shen Youfu's request for her to marry Yang Qingshan, Su Zhi got all of this out after asking her about it thoroughly. Shen Zian did not hide it from her and told her everything in the end.
Su Zhi still admires her elder sister and brother-in-law very much. One of them is kind and brave, and the other is grateful. They are both good people.
Su Zhi has always been kind and warm to good people, not to mention that she is Shen Zian’s relative?
"Sister and brother-in-law, please come in and sit down. This is Ye'er, you are so cute. Come and let Fourth Aunt hug you. Fourth Aunt will give you some candy and snacks."
When Su Zhi heard Ye'er calling her, she immediately smiled and sighed, then greeted Shen Yu and Yang Qingshan, asked them to sit in the house, and brought Ye'er over. She thought that the child must be almost three years old, but he was so light. Looking at his thin face, she felt soft in her heart, thinking that the couple must have a hard life.
Shen Yu and Yang Qingshan were relieved to see Su Zhi so warmly and politely invite them into the house. It was the first time for them to visit their brother today. They were a little nervous when they entered the garden. When they saw the house, they didn't even dare to enter the house, thinking that they would see what kind of temper this brother's wife had first. What they experienced over the years has made them know what it means to be fickle. They are always worried that others will look down on them. In order to avoid greater contempt, they always retreat first, as if they can be ready to turn around and run away.
After entering the main hall, Shen Yu and Yang Qingshan were amazed at the furnishings in the main hall. They had never seen such beautiful furniture.
The main house built by Su Zhi is very large. She divided the main hall horizontally in the middle, and the back part occupies one-third of the entire main hall. On the right side there is a carved double door, from which you can see the small back room. On the left side of the back room is a stove, which is used to heat the kang in the room on the left side of the main hall. The kangs in Su Zhi's house are all on the side of the room, not against the window.
But now no one lives in that house, so the stove is not burning.
There is a door on the back wall, and from here you can reach the backyard. The backyard is the original thatched house, but it is also surrounded by a wall. Now the thatched house is used as a firewood room, cowshed and chicken coop. You don't have to worry about losing them if you put them here.
There is a shelf on the back wall of the main hall, which is made in the style of a display case. There is nothing on it now, but Su Zhi is thinking that she can put some nice toys on it in the future. The doors leading to the two side rooms are at the entrance, and they are also carved wooden doors. There are Spring and Autumn chairs on both sides of the wall, and in front of the Spring and Autumn chairs are long tables, which are also carved with flowers. After being painted, they seem to be shining, making people a little afraid to sit on them.
Su Zhi was thinking of making some more cushions so that people wouldn't feel cold when sitting on them. However, she didn't have enough time, so she didn't do it. She thought she would do it when she had free time in winter.
In short, there are still many things that have not been prepared. The antiques are left empty, the tea sets have not been bought, there are no vases, no cushions, no pillows, no paintings on the wall, and some things that Su Zhi thought of but did not have time to get. However, even without these things, the eyes of those who saw this hall were shining.
Yang Qingshan and Shen Yu were a little afraid to go in. This place was better than the best house they had seen. Shen Yu had been to the landlord's house before. Although there were beautiful things there, the furniture was not as beautiful as here. She felt that her fourth brother was really rich.
"Sister, brother-in-law, it's cold in the main room. Come sit in the inner room. There is a kang here, which is warmer."
Su Zhi carried Ye'er into the inner room, and then called Yang Qingshan and Shen Yu in. Shen Zian also called them in, lifting the curtain to let the two in.
As soon as Su Zhi came in, she put Ye'er on the kang, took off her shoes, held her and put her on the small quilt that had been prepared long ago, and covered her legs and feet with another quilt. Next to her was the kang table, on which was a plate of melon seeds and peanuts. Su Zhi took a handful of candy and put it in the table, then pulled it in front of Ye'er.
"Ye'er, eat. Sister, brother-in-law, you two can come and sit down and eat together. Let Zi'an chat with you. I'll go get you some hot water. You must be cold on the way here. Just drink some hot water and rest on the kang for a while."
As Su Zhi spoke, she asked Shen Zian to get cotton socks for the two of them to change into, and let them sit on the kang, which was already burning. The kids couldn't stand it, but the adults were fine.
As soon as Shen Yu and Yang Qingshan entered the inner room, they were attracted by the furnishings in the inner room. They saw a platform on the north side of the inner room, which seemed to be made of green bricks. There was a strip of painted wood on it that shone brightly. The inside was covered with reed mats. There were short cabinets on both sides of the wall. On the cabinets were quilts. The quilts were new and brightly colored. There was a cabinet against the inner wall, which went all the way to the window. It looked beautiful. There was a table in front of the window, and chairs on both sides. With just these few pieces of furniture, this room had a different atmosphere from that of a farmhouse. They didn't know where to put their hands and feet. When they saw Shen Zian handing them a pair of cotton socks, they took off their shoes and put them on as he asked, then sat on the kang. They were surprised to find that the kang was hot!
"Don't bother, Fourth Sister-in-law. We're not thirsty. Just sit down for a while."
Shen Yu held Su Zhi and stopped her from pouring water. She had already felt that this sister-in-law was a good person. When Zi An got married, she came back once, but was chased away by her father. Later, she heard that her sister-in-law was sick. She felt bad for her brother, but she couldn't help. Who knew that in just a few months, things changed drastically. Her brother divided the family, and her sister-in-law recovered from her illness and became rich. She was happy for them. Especially this sister-in-law didn't look down on her because of her reputation. She was even happier. (
