Chapter 91 Do You Think She's Pretty?

(Girls' Literature)

Shen Zhu looked at Shen Ziju's smile and thought that the little brother looked so good when he smiled that even she, his younger sister, would blush and feel shy when she saw it. She hated herself the most in this life for being born in such a poor family. The only happy thing was that she had a smart mother, and the most fortunate thing was that she had a brother who was a dragon and phoenix twin with a bright future. Although his arrival took away a lot of her favor as the youngest child, as long as he became an official, he could raise his own status as well. This made her have high expectations for this brother. Now seeing the injury on his face, she was no less worried than Shen Ziju.

"Hey, little brother, does your head still hurt? Do you think the medicine that the lucky star gave you is effective?"

Shen Zhu now has some resentment towards Su Zhi. She thinks that if her brother had not gone to her house, he might not have been beaten by her sister, that Lianhua.

Shen Ziju said, "That's our fourth sister-in-law. Stop calling her a lucky star. The family should stop making trouble. And it won't sound good if this gets out. Do you want people to say that there is a lucky star in our family?"

"I only said that in front of you! I don't even believe that she's a bad luck charm. You said that you were beaten by her sister when you went to Fourth Brother's house. Third Sister-in-law ate the sour fruit from her hand, and she said it would be bad for the child, so Third Sister-in-law really lost the child. Women here eat sour fruit when they are pregnant, and no one has ever had any problems. No wonder Third Sister-in-law said that it was all Fourth Sister-in-law's curse. I think so too."

Shen Zhu spoke softly. Her voice was very pleasant, but it made Shen Ziju feel a little unhappy.

"Zhu'er, don't learn from the Third Sister-in-law, gossiping about other people. It's not good. The Fourth Sister-in-law came to tell the Third Sister-in-law in advance, but she still ate so many red and sour fruits. She can only blame herself. Besides, she herself has had several miscarriages. This child is not stable to begin with, so you can't blame others."

"No one else can be blamed for what happened to Third Sister-in-law, but what about you?"

Shen Zhu felt uncomfortable when she heard her brother speak for Su Zhi. That day, she saw the fourth sister-in-law who came to deliver medicine to Shen Ziju, and was surprised to find that her skin seemed to be much better. Once her skin got better, it actually showed that she was good-looking. When she thought about how she had suffered several losses at the hands of this fourth sister-in-law, she disliked her even more.

Shen Ziju gently stroked the cloth on his head. Feeling the coolness of the medicine, he seemed to smell the faint fragrance of Su Zhi again. He lowered his eyelashes slightly and said, "I can't blame her for what happened. It was my own carelessness. And she also gave me the medicine, so we are even now."

Shen Zhu looked at Shen Ziju, thinking that her fourth brother was not on her side, but always spoke for Su Zhi. He also said that he would be her backer in the future, but now he let her suffer. He was really unreliable! She was very unhappy, and her impulsiveness came back, and she said something as soon as she opened her mouth.

"You think that the sweeper is pretty? So you don't blame her?!"

"Nonsense!"

Shen Ziju frowned, looking at Shen Zhu's pouting face with red eyes, he suppressed the anger in his heart, sighed and said: "Zhu'er, don't say such things in the future, it will be a big trouble if it gets out. She is our fourth sister-in-law. She is our brother's wife, we should all protect her. When our parents separated them, they were already treated unfairly. Now don't make trouble anymore. We are from the same roots, why are you so anxious to hurt each other? Do you really want Fourth Brother to break off the relationship with us?"

Of course Shen Zhu didn't want to break up with her fourth brother now. After all, his family was rich now. She would be a fool if she really did break up with him. She just didn't like her fourth sister-in-law.

Shen Ziju watched his sister walk away with her graceful figure, thinking about what she had just said about him leaning towards his fourth sister-in-law. He smiled. He was not leaning towards Su Zhi, but it was rare for him to meet such an extraordinary woman, so he was more careful. However, after his sister said that today, he really had to be more careful in the future. He was already fifteen years old, and he really had to pay attention to the precautions between men and women. Even if the other person was his sister-in-law, he had to be polite and moderate.

After Shen Zhu went out, she saw Chunhua coming out with tears in her eyes. She thought that the third sister-in-law wanted to go to the fourth brother to talk about it, but was stopped by her parents. She must be feeling uncomfortable. Chunhua must be taken out for her anger again. She smiled in her heart, thinking that with the third brother and the third sister-in-law around, the fourth sister-in-law would not live in peace. She just had to wait and see the show, why bother herself here to get angry.

It is true that Sun had just taken out her anger on Chunhua. Whenever she was angry, she would take it out on her daughter. As for her son, she would only hit him a few times when she was mad as hell, but they were never severe.

Sun looked at everyone leaving unwillingly, glaring at them. In fact, she was not too sad about losing such a child. She already had three sons and a daughter. She thought it was enough to have a boy or a girl. She just wanted to make a fuss to get some money from Su Zhi. She calculated that she could get at least ten taels of silver. By then, this was earned with her own blood and flesh, and it would definitely not be returned to the public. It would be her private property. But she was stopped. She was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

"Third sister-in-law, you are in confinement now. Ask Chunhua to cook two eggs for you. My brother said he gave you his, so I'll give you mine too."

Shen Zhu came in again and said with a smile. Sun Shi smiled immediately when she heard this and said, "Thank you, sister. Thank you, too, Fifth Brother. I feel warm inside knowing that you care about me. Unlike the Fourth Brother and his wife, they don't even come to see me. They are really squandering money the more they get richer! I don't say anything to them, but they really don't care! My poor unborn baby!"

Shen Zhu advised, "Don't be angry, Third Sister-in-law. If you get angry, what will happen to my Third Brother and the four nephews and nieces? It is most important to take good care of yourself. Alas, Third Sister-in-law, don't blame Fourth Sister-in-law. She is also very unlucky. Think about it, she just took off half of her hat of a house sweeper, and my little brother fell in her house and was almost disfigured, and you lost your child. This is not good for her reputation. If this gets out, as long as others say a few more words, she may get the title of a house sweeper again. How pitiful! We are a family, and whatever you say is more believable than what others say, so you must not say anything more."

Shen Zhu spoke softly, and with a concerned look on her face, she advised Sun not to make things difficult for Su Zhi.

"Okay, I still have some embroidery work to do, so I'll leave first. Third sister-in-law, you should have a good rest. Oh, you must not cause trouble for Fourth sister-in-law. Maybe they are regretting that they didn't take the sour fruit away by force that day, and now they feel sorry for you. If you don't argue with them, they may always feel that they owe you something. If you argue with them, it may be counterproductive."

After Shen Zhu finished speaking, she stood up and went out. Returning to her own room, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought that she had listened to her fifth brother and persuaded her third sister-in-law. As for what her third sister-in-law did, that was none of her business.

After Shen Zhu left, Sun started rolling her eyes on the bed.

"Chunhua, where did you go?"

Chunhua ran in and said, "Mom, I'm going to boil eggs for you. Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Call your damned father here."

Shen Ziping walked in impatiently, and Sun pulled him and muttered a lot. Shen Ziping frowned, thought about it, and nodded.

Su Zhi finished the last cushion on the spring and autumn chair at home, and saw Shen Zian coming in. He looked unhappy and asked, "What's wrong? Is it related to the matter of the third sister-in-law? I was thinking that we should send the medicine to the fifth brother and visit the third sister-in-law. After all, she is our sister-in-law. This small confinement period is also a confinement period. There are still plenty of eggs and meat at home, so there is no need to prepare anything else."

Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi's gentle and peaceful face and said, "Brother Shitou came just now and said that someone in the village is spreading gossip again. Wife, don't worry. They are blaming you for Zi Ju's injury and Third Sister-in-law's miscarriage. But don't worry, it's just that some people say so and no one believes it."

Su Zhi also knew that although there were such words this time, because of her efforts in the past few days, not many people would believe them. Even if they had some doubts, they would not reject her like last time. However, this was still not good.

"My husband, let's try to bring the Holy Beast back."

Su Zhi said that she wanted to use her own abilities to establish a good image for herself, so that those who once thought she was a bad luck star would no longer believe it. But that would take time, and it might not make everyone lose that idea. Only by inviting the Holy Beast would those people immediately believe that she was not a bad luck star. With such an immediate method, Su Zhi didn't want to waste any more effort.

"Wife, can you really bring the Holy Beast back?"

Shen Zian asked. He believed his wife, but when the time came, he still had some doubts. After all, he had only seen the two wolf cubs, but not the big sacred beast. That was a wolf, it was good enough that it didn't eat people. Could he really bring it home?

Su Zhi didn't know what to do, but when she thought of the spring lotus, she felt confident. She nodded her head and said, "I can do it, as long as I see them!"

"Okay, let's go find them."

When Shen Zian heard his wife say this, he expressed his support. He also wanted to see what the holy beast that could lead his wife to find ginseng looked like. If he could really bring it back, he would be very excited.

After they made their decision, they started to move and headed towards the mountains.

After three days in the mountains, neither of them saw a single wolf, but Shen Zian had hunted a lot of prey. Su Zhi really regretted not having a secret signal or something when she made a date with the holy beast. In her mind, she thought that the big white wolf was very smart and felt that it must understand what a secret signal was.

After searching for several days, Su Zhi still couldn't find the holy beast. Then one evening, while Su Zhi was embroidering at home, she heard a long cry outside and she raised her head.
