The news that Shen Zhihuan was seriously ill and bedridden spread like wildfire, and some even said that Li Qiuhua was already preparing funeral clothes for her third daughter.

For a time, the news that Shen Zhihuan was about to pass away spread widely in Panshi Village.

The story of Hu Banxian, who had turned into a pile of bones, was once again passed on by word of mouth.

Xilin Village Lao Zhu Family

"If you can't give these things away today, you won't have any dowry when you get married." Boss Zhu put milk powder, malted milk, the egg cake he bought that morning, and a large piece of pork belly on the dining table.

"Brother, you can't blame me for this. The last time I went there, no one was at Sister Zhihuan's house. What could I do?" Zhu Xiaoxiu pouted, looking aggrieved.

"There's no one at your sister-in-law's house. Can't you wait a little longer? Can't they go home after dark?" Boss Zhu snorted.

"..." Zhu Xiaoxiu was speechless.

Other people forget their mothers after they get married. Her brother hasn't even married a wife yet, but he has already forgotten his sister.

If my sister-in-law comes into the family after this, she will become the first little cabbage after the founding of the People's Republic of China!

Old Madam Zhu hesitated and said, "Da Zhuang, people are saying that the third girl from the Shen family..."

"Mom, you should stop going out and listening to those people's nonsense in the future." Boss Zhu frowned and said unhappily.

He heard some gossips two days ago, and he was worried, so he went there in person, even though it was at night...

Although the body still looked very thin, the little face was obviously rounder than when he first saw it, and even the complexion was much better.

The whole family was sitting under the grape trellis, chatting and laughing. How could they be bedridden? "Da Zhuang, have you ever thought about this? Although your younger sister and I are here to help you take care of the household, in a few years your younger sister will get married and I will be gone. Who will help you? The third daughter of the Shen family is sick every three days and every five days..." At this point, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom, I can afford to support her." Boss Zhu said firmly.

"Da Zhuang..."

"Mom, if you really love your son, please help him find a way to marry her into our Zhu family." Boss Zhu interrupted Mrs. Zhu directly.

"What kind of magic potion did she feed you?" Old Mrs. Zhu poked Old Man Zhu's forehead hard, looking as if she was disappointed in him.

No matter how much nice words she said, no matter how much she talked, this evil creature just wouldn't listen to a single word.

That's all! That's all! If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided.

Once she closed her eyes, she let him run wild. Shen Zhihuan stayed at home for a few days to recuperate, and Xiao Weidong also stayed at home for a few days. Today, they had sugar cakes, tomorrow, flower rolls, and the two siblings ate and drank at home. Their life was so comfortable.

Xiao Weidong's face became rounder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Little Weidong frowned, "Third sister..."

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhihuan put down the broom and gently touched Xiao Weidong's face.

After coming back from a run, the little guy's expression had been off. From time to time, he would frown and glance at her, and when he noticed that she was looking at him, he would quickly turn his head and look away.

Xiao Weidong twisted his fingers, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Has someone bullied you?" Shen Zhihuan squatted down, took Xiao Weidong's hand, and said softly.

"Su Ziyong said that you won't live for a few more days. Third sister, I don't want you to die." Little Weidong suddenly threw himself into Shen Zhihuan's arms, crying inconsolably.

Shen Zhihuan frowned.

I won't live for a few days...

Why didn't he say she wouldn't survive past three o'clock? !

Is he tired of the surname Su and wants to change it to Yan? "Don't cry! Su Ziyong is talking nonsense. Third sister is going to live a long life. She is still waiting for me to take care of her in her old age. How could she not live for more than a few days?" Shen Zhihuan gently stroked little Weidong's back and coaxed him softly.

"Really?" Xiao Weidong sobbed.

"Silly child, your third sister hasn't even put on the new dress that I bought for her, how could she bear to die?!" Shen Zhihuan wiped the tears from Xiao Weidong's face with a smile.

Little did she know that because of this sentence, she would never wear the new dress Xiao Weidong bought for her until her death.

"Okay! Let's pinky promise." Shen Zhihuan smiled and stretched out his little finger to hook Xiao Weidong's finger.

"We'll make a pinky promise not to change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy." Xiao Weidong said seriously.

"No change!" Shen Zhihuan laughed.

Don’t change…

Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas will all change.

What about people!

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense in the future. If there is anything you don't know or can't figure out, come and ask Third Sister. OK?" Shen Zhihuan tapped Xiao Weidong's nose lightly.

"I understand, third sister." Little Weidong nodded obediently.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

There was a knock at the gate.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Go open the door." Shen Zhihuan patted Xiao Weidong's butt lightly.

Xiao Weidong ran towards the courtyard gate, and after a moment, he turned around and ran back.

"Third sister, I don't know that person..."

As soon as Xiao Weidong finished speaking, Zhu Xiaoxiu came in carrying large and small bags of things.

At just one glance, Zhu Xiaoxiu was sure that the person in front of her was her future sister-in-law.

In the past, she thought that what was described in the books about beauties as stunning as a country, eyes as clear as autumn water, bright eyes, white teeth, and beauty as beautiful as the autumn moon were all lies. But when she met her sister-in-law today, she realized that there really were such beauties in the world.

No wonder her brother was so determined to marry her.

If she were a man, she would fight with his brother even at the risk of her life.

Shen Zhihuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are..."

Zhu Xiaoxiu stood up straight, "Sister Zhihuan, my name is Zhu Xiaoxiu, and my brother's name is..."

"I understand. You can go back." Shen Zhihuan pulled Xiao Weidong and went back to the house.

"Sister Zhihuan, my brother said that if I can't give these things away, he will not give me a dowry. Sister Zhihuan, please have pity on me! A girl will be miserable in the future if she doesn't have a dowry." Zhu Xiaoxiu said pitifully with a pursed mouth.

Shen Zhihuan laughed, "If someone loves you, he will love you whether you have a dowry or not. If someone doesn't love you, he won't love you no matter how much dowry you have. He might even use your dowry to give to another woman in the future. Do you want your future man to use your dowry to support another woman?"

"Of course not." Zhu Xiaoxiu gritted her teeth secretly.

"So that's it! Why do you want so much dowry?" Shen Zhihuan shrugged.

Zhu Xiaoxiu frowned, "But without a dowry, my mother-in-law will..."

"The man you will spend your life with is your man, not your mother-in-law. Why do you care so much about her? If she treats you well, you should treat her well. If she treats you badly, why would you care about her? Your mother gave birth to you and raised you, not for you to be a slave to your mother-in-law."

"Shouldn't a daughter-in-law be filial to her mother-in-law?" Zhu Xiaoxiu was a little confused.

"You should be filial to your mother-in-law! But that is on the premise that the mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law well. Only when the mother is kind can the son be filial. The same applies to the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law."

"The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't get along, and the dilemma is..."

The son of the team leader of their village married an educated youth. The educated youth and the team leader's wife quarreled every day, and the team leader's son was so worried that he didn't even want to go home.

"If a mother-in-law dares to yell at her daughter-in-law and fight with her, it means the man is incompetent. If a man can show an attitude and do something, even the most evil mother-in-law will not humiliate her daughter-in-law at will."

Shen Zhihuan dragged the man and his belongings out of the courtyard and said, "Go back and think about it carefully."
