After lunch, Shen Wanli saw his wife return and asked, "How did it go?"
"She vomited a lot, drank some hangover soup, and I coaxed her for a long time before she finally fell asleep."
Tian Guifen rubbed her lower back, feeling utterly exhausted.
Her youngest son got drunk and kept calling her name, and she still had to serve him. Sigh.
What kind of fate is this?
"Haha, this guy is really brave." Shen Liuliu covered her mouth and chuckled from the side.
She really didn't expect that the drunk guy would have such audacity.
Gui Fen?
Hahaha.
I'm afraid that when the young man wakes up, he'll be the one who regrets it the most.
"I'm afraid Wu will regret it when he wakes up." Shen Tiantian laughed along.
Tian Guifen smiled slightly, her eyes filled with affection: "This kid, we can't let him drink anymore."
How could she possibly hold a grudge against her own youngest son?
However, it might scare him a little, so he won't drink in the future.
"This kid doesn't take after me in this respect; he can't hold his liquor at all," Shen Wanli smacked his lips and commented.
Tian Guifen rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky: "If you can hold your liquor, then show me how to drink ten jin in one go!"
"What do you mean he drank it all in one go? This kid had been secretly drinking a little before, and he even shared a lot with others. Otherwise, do you think he could have drunk ten catties of liquor in one go?"
Shen Wanli revealed the truth.
Shen Liuli crawled over: "Daddy, you knew this all along?"
Shen Wanli kissed his daughter before replying with a smile, "I know, little guy. It's okay to try the wine. It's fine to share some with your friends. I didn't mind."
Kid, don't worry about that.
"snort."
Upon hearing this, Tian Guifen snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.
After their afternoon nap, when the men went to work in the fields, Chen Yishan couldn't help but ask, "Dalinzi, what's going on? Why is Li Xiaoxi so insistent that it was you?"
In order to make everyone's performance more realistic, Shen Liuliu only told her mother and third brother about this, and the others were unaware of it.
Shen Sanlin then recounted the whole story: "...After learning of their plan, my sister asked the tiger in the mountains to bring her some kind of mushroom, and then had sparrows secretly add it to the food of Li Guihua and her daughter."
Then Li Guihua and her daughter would hallucinate, mistaking Hu Si for me. As for Hu Si, I was just luring him to the river to catch fish…”
Otherwise, how could Li Xiaoxi not recognize that the person she slept with on the riverbank was Hu Si, not Shen Sanlin?
"No wonder, my sister is really amazing." Shen Yishan was impressed.
Having a younger sister at home is such a blessing.
Shen Wanli was incredibly proud: "That's right, look who gave birth to this precious daughter!"
"Oh my, Wanli, you're here in the fields? Did you hear? Li Guihua said she wouldn't let Hu Si take responsibility, but Hu Si wouldn't have it. She said if she didn't stop him from marrying into the family, she would go to the government and sue Li Xiaoxi for indecent assault!"
When Liu Dasheng saw the Shen family, he immediately waved and greeted them, excitedly telling them the gossip he had heard.
During this time of day, it's all people coming to work in the fields.
Upon hearing Li Xiaoxi's gossip, everyone immediately gathered on the Shen family's turf and started talking about it one after another.
So, it's not just women who are gossipy; men are just as gossipy.
"What happened?"
"Haha, how strange! A man accuses a woman of indecent assault?"
"I heard that Li Guihua was so angry that she fell ill, vomiting and feeling dizzy. When she got home, she mistook Li Dahe for her father and knelt down! When the doctor came to take a look, he said that she must have eaten something wrong and was hallucinating."
"Oh my, no wonder Li Xiaoxi insisted that the person she slept with was Sanlin, not Hu Si!"
The Shen family members exchanged glances.
Surprisingly, everyone managed to smooth things over despite the misunderstanding.
"Who cares? As long as they don't come and harm my family, I don't care what they do." Shen Wanli exhaled a breath of stale air, looking relieved.
The Shen family simply cannot afford to entertain this mother and daughter.
Shen Erming's eyes were gloomy, and his smile was cold: "Serves you right, retribution!"
"And then what?"
"Finally, I heard that Li Guihua relented. We can't really let Hu Si go to the authorities, can we? He'd become famous! But I also heard that Li Dahe's wife is against it. She's now making a scene and has invited the elders of the Li family to come over, saying she wants to divide the family property!"
"Li Dahe's wife is no pushover either."
...
Soon, Tian Guifen also learned about these things and cursed that he deserved it, but Tian Guifen was also really anxious.
Once the osmanthus wine was brewed, he immediately went to Shen Qianli's house to ask Xiao Zhoushi about the shrewd girl he had introduced to Sanlin.
The sooner the third son's wife marries into the family, the sooner she can settle down!
Shen Liuliu pouted and began to tinker with making loquat wine in the kitchen.
Loquat wine is good for clearing the lungs and soothing the throat; it can be considered a fruit wine, but it can also be called a medicinal wine.
The key is that loquat wine doesn't take that long to brew; half a month is enough.
Of course, a month is also possible, but the taste of half a month and a month is completely different, so they can be sold as two different flavors.
"Liu Liu is playing around with brewing wine over there, and she's actually quite good at it." Shen Tiantian and her sister-in-law were sitting in the courtyard, with Shen Tiantian learning embroidery from her sister-in-law.
While studying, he would occasionally glance at what Liu Liu was doing, his eyes filled with envy.
If she were the one wasting things like that, her parents would have beaten her to death long ago.
Wang Xiuhe smiled and first gave her some pointers on the acupuncture technique before saying casually, "Maybe Liu Liu's random play around can even brew some delicious wine."
Shen Tiantian glanced at her sister-in-law quickly with some surprise.
The eldest sister-in-law really does blindly believe in Liu Liu.
That's great.
"I wonder how An'an is doing back home, whether she's doing well." Shen Tiantian licked her lips, missing An'an a little.
Although An'an treats herself and Liu Liu completely differently, but...
She still misses him.
She had never seen such a handsome and refined young man before, and he clearly came from a wealthy family...
"How could it be bad? An'an is different from us," Wang Xiuhe reminded her casually.
Shen Tiantian felt a little embarrassed.
"Sweetie, you should focus on learning simple needlework for now. Embroidery is a bit too early," Wang Xiuhe said, feeling that Sweetie was being too anxious and impatient.
Embroidering a purse or handkerchief can earn money, but Tian Tian is only eight years old.
He's still a child, he doesn't need to think so much.
Shen Tiantian lowered her head and after a long while said, "I'm not like Liu Liu."
They are born into different circumstances, and their future opportunities are even more different.
If she wants to get what she wants, she must work even harder.
Although her family has clearly shown more concern for her since she saved Liu Liu from drowning, it's still far from enough!
A bird call came from nearby, and Shen Tiantian's eyes flickered. It seemed that her uncle's house had many more birds than other people's.
"What?"
From the kitchen came Shen Liuliu's surprised, childlike voice.
