Chapter 82: These days are really prosperous

Chapter 82: These days are really prosperous!

Shen Youfu had just listened to Shen Zian's words and felt relieved. Now Su Zhi's words made him feel relieved even more.

"Dad, please forgive me. I know I have caused trouble for our family. I kowtow to you and apologize!"

Shen Yu knelt down on the ground with a plop. The ground of Su Zhi's house was all paved with bluestone. The sound of his knee falling on it was loud, and the hearts of those who heard it trembled. Shen Yu kowtowed to Shen Youfu, crying and kowtowing at the same time. The grievance of being rejected by her parents over the years and the bitterness of not having any support from her parents all turned into tears. She kowtowed hard and loudly, but she was pulled back before she could even kowtow a few times.

Yang Qingshan also knelt beside him, his face full of sorrow. When Shen Yu insisted on getting married, her reputation was almost ruined because of him, so he married her. He wanted to give her a good life, but he was unable to do so. Seeing his beautiful wife suffering with him and getting older day by day, he felt bad. But he did not regret saving her. If he hadn't saved her, she would only be bullied by that evil man. He just thought that if he hadn't been beaten to death or beaten to death, then maybe there would be another result. Now, he just hopes that his wife can get forgiveness from her family.

"Dad, as long as you can forgive A-Yu, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Yang Qingshan looked at his wife and said only this one sentence, then waited for Shen Youfu to announce his punishment.

"Daddy...Mom..."

Ye'er was still sitting on the kang, watching her parents kneeling on the ground. She didn't quite understand what was going on, but she was scared and started crying loudly. She was held in Chunlan's arms.

"Master, just forgive them. If we don't speak up for our own child, people will say whatever they want! As long as we insist that Yang Qingshan is the one who saved our daughter, people can say whatever they want! After a while, people will forget about it. If you always don't let her visit, people will think the rumors are true!"

Shen Zhang felt sorry for her daughter and began to persuade Shen Youfu to come.

Shen Zhu thought that her sister's bad reputation would also affect her. She also followed suit. She said: "Dad, what Fourth Sister-in-law said just now is right. Her reputation was not good before, but now you see, there are so many people coming to warm up the new house. Even those who are not familiar with her have come. The matter about my elder sister was just a rumor from others. Most people don't believe it. As long as you change your tone from now on, this matter can be over. Yawen Love"

Sun said, "Dad, if you acknowledge the eldest sister, what will you do if people use her to criticize your fifth brother? There are still a bunch of girls at home who have no husbands!"

Sun Shi didn't want Shen Yu to go back to her mother's house. Both her parents loved their daughter. If they gave all the good things to their daughter, would they suffer more?

Su Zhi glanced at Sun and said, "What did Third Sister-in-law just hear? Didn't she just say that our parents wouldn't let our eldest sister marry into the family? Her bad reputation would be established, which would be of no benefit to the Shen family or our fourth brother. You still know that there is a girl in the family? Don't forget that you have a daughter too!"

Chunhua had been standing beside Sun and supporting her. When she heard Su Zhi mention her, her face did not even turn red, but turned pale when she saw the look in Su Zhi's eyes. She still remembered that she had knelt down to Su Zhi and begged Su Zhi not to bring bad luck to her mother. As a result, the villagers believed that Su Zhi was an unlucky person. Fourth Auntie must still hate her!

Shen Zhang looked at Sun with hatred and said, "If you don't listen to others and just talk nonsense, get out!"

Shen Ziping pulled Sun's hand. He didn't want his wife to offend everyone at this moment. He saw that his mother and brothers wanted his father to forgive his eldest sister today, so he would just go along with them. Anyway, as a woman, his eldest sister wouldn't get any benefits.

Su Zhi looked at Shen Ziju and said to him, "Fifth brother, you are well educated and Dad has high hopes for you. We all hope that you can pass the imperial examination. You are a wise man and you should know which of the elder sister's current situations is more beneficial to you. Others may think that having such an elder sister will have a bad influence on you after you become an official, but have you never thought about it? After you become an official, who will dare to say that about your elder sister? Even if someone says it, you can say it is slander, but if the elder sister is rejected by the family now, then others will say that everyone in our Shen family thinks so, and this is true. By then, this point will be truly established!"

Shen Ziju's heart moved. In fact, he had just figured it out, but he was still hesitating. After all, the court now attaches great importance to the reputation of officials, and he dared not be careless. And now that the fourth sister-in-law has pointed out the consequences to him so clearly, if he still doesn't understand what to do, then he is really stupid.

"Dad, what Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law said makes sense. Please forgive Big Sister."

Shen Youfu has always attached great importance to the words of his youngest son, especially this time he did not let Shen Yu in just for Shen Ziju. Now that Shen Ziju has spoken, his loosened heart has finally completely relaxed.

"Let's talk about this after dinner! I'll think about it!"

When the Shen family heard this, they knew that Shen Youfu had forgiven Shen Yu, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Zhang hugged Shen Yu and cried, Shen Yu also cried, and Yang Qingshan's face was much less sad.

Su Zhi saw the whole Shen family crying there, but she had no interest in staying here any longer. She helped Shen Yu return to the Shen family because she was very good to Shen Zian and she was also a good person. Now that she helped, she didn't want to participate in their drama of reunion. Today was their family's warm-up day, and she was the protagonist. After all, she was watching them cry and laugh here.

Su Zhi told Shen Zian that she was going out to cook so as not to miss the dinner time.

As soon as Su Zhi went out, she saw a lot of people standing in the main room. Some of them were looking inside, but when they saw her coming out, they quickly retracted their heads, looking teasing. Su Zhi smiled and asked Shen Zian to come out and greet the guests, telling the people inside that people outside were curious and asked them to control themselves. When she saw Shen Zian coming out, she smiled and went back to the kitchen.

As soon as they arrived in the kitchen, Sister Li asked, "Sister, are you okay?"

Su Zhi smiled and said, "It's nothing. My father-in-law and mother-in-law asked me to go over and have a chat. I saw they were having a good time, so I asked me to stay with them."

When Sister Li and Sister Shugen heard this, they thought that the Shen family had accepted Shen Yu again. They thought that Su Zhi was not a jinx at all, but a lucky star. As soon as she married into the family, the old couple reconciled with the daughter. This was considered a family reunion, right? It was a good thing!

"It's almost time, sisters-in-law, start cooking!"

Su Zhi put on a blue floral apron and sorted out all the prepared vegetables and meat, thinking about which one to fry first and which one to fry later.

Sister Shugen hurried over to light a fire for her, and Sister Li passed things to her. The three were about to start working when Sister Feng walked in quickly, looking a little anxious.

"Sister, I just counted the number of people, there are too many people here! I'm afraid the dishes you prepared won't be enough!"

Sister Li opened her eyes wide and asked, "How many people are here? Brother Zi'an has prepared twelve tables. Isn't that enough? I saw a lot of people just now, but they can't sit at so many tables, right?"

Sister Feng said, "There are people in the yard and in the house, and several of them came just now, in groups of more than ten! I roughly counted them, and there must be more than three hundred people! And this is still counting the fewer!"

Sister Li sighed and said, "Half of the village must be here, right?! They came here to see the excitement of the house built by Brother Zi'an! These are gifts, and they usually can't save money, so what happened today? Sister, your family will be prosperous in the future! But now you have to think of a way."

Su Zhi just frowned, and then calmed down. She calculated that there was enough food at home, enough meat, a pile of cabbage, a basket of potatoes, and a bag of radishes. It was just that some dishes might not be available on every table, such as rabbits and pheasants. But Su Zhi thought that as long as it was meat and cooked well, the villagers would not be picky. Her cooking skills were good to begin with, and she had already prepared bean sprouts grown with spiritual spring water. Now she cut a bowl of them and put them aside. When the time came, she would add some to each dish to make it more delicious. She had already tried it, and even stir-fried cabbage was particularly delicious!

Su Zhi thought quickly and decided that she could still handle it, so she just had to go to the buffet.

At this time Li Shi also came to talk about the situation. He listened to Su Zhi's arrangements, nodded, and went out to arrange for the elders to eat the first round first.

By this time, everyone in the Shen family had regained their composure. When they heard Shen Zian calling them to come out and sit down, a group of people came out.

Shen Youfu still didn't wipe his face and walked with Shen Yu in front of so many people. He walked in front. Shen Yu held the child and walked with Yang Qingshan behind. However, even so, people who saw it knew that Shen Youfu and his eldest daughter were dating again. On such a day, no one said it out loud.

When Shen Youfu saw Li Shi saying that he wanted to set up a buffet and asked Wang and Li to help, Shen Yu also stood up quickly. The boys and girls in the family were also arranged to help carry the dishes and run errands.

Shen Zian bought the meat of a pig this time. Su Zhi originally thought that more than ten tables would be enough. She wanted to make the remaining meat into bacon or pickled meat, so she took it all out now. Sister Shugen was good with a knife and started to cut quickly. Li started to cut vegetables. Wang took her daughter to wash vegetables. Sister Li helped Su Zhi to light the fire. Chunyue helped to pass things around. Su Zhi started to cook.

The dishes were not served yet, but everyone, whether sitting or standing, could smell a strong aroma, which was even stronger than the aroma just now, and everyone was drooling. (
