A while ago, a group of spies sneaked into the vicinity of the Prince's Tomb and had a gunfight with Zhou Pan and others. Everyone in their village heard the gunshots and was so scared that they didn't dare to go out.
Zhou Pan hurried to the Shi family to give New Year gifts and then left.
Shi Liu opened the box and saw five jars of homemade liquor. After a moment's thought, she guessed it was grain liquor brewed in the distillery. Grain was so precious these days that ordinary people wouldn't be willing to use it to make liquor. Even liquor purchased at the market required a liquor ticket. Zhou Pan's New Year's gift had touched the hearts of his brothers, as few men didn't enjoy drinking.
Su Sanlan felt that her son-in-law was too extravagant. The most important thing was that her daughter didn't drink, so wouldn't all the alcohol be given to the eldest brother and his friends?
As soon as Shi Liu saw her mother's expression, she knew that she was feeling sorry again. It was strange, her mother didn't feel sorry for what she ate on weekdays, but when her elder brothers ate something good, her mother felt sorry. It's not that her mother didn't love her sons, but she felt a little bit less.
"Mom, my uncle has helped our family a lot over the years. We've been living a tight life, and he's never given us any good things. This time, bring a jar of wine." Shi Liu knew that if she didn't mention this, her mother would definitely not be willing to give her uncle any wine.
"I see. I haven't told your uncle about the son-in-law yet, so this is a good time to talk to him. But it would be bad to give it to your uncle and not give it to your uncle and his family. Fortunately, the son-in-law brought a lot of wine and drinks this time, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough to go around."
Su Sanlan looked at her daughter and sighed helplessly. Her daughter was good in every way except that she was too picky. But just like her daughter said, her elder brother had helped her a lot over the years, so a jar of wine was worth it.
After hearing this, the four brothers of Brother Shi grinned happily. There were still two jars of wine left at home, so they could drink to their heart's content during the New Year. The status of Zhou Pan, their brother-in-law, suddenly rose a lot in their hearts.
Su Sanlan glanced at her sons with disdain and said, "This wine was sent by your brother-in-law. It's okay to give it to your uncles and elder brothers, but the rest of you should not even think about it." As she said this, she looked at her daughters-in-law.
Shi Dasao's sisters-in-law naturally wanted to get some wine to take back to her parents' home, but her mother-in-law was obviously not happy about it, and they didn't dare to touch things in the house.
Su Sanlan was too lazy to look at her four silly sons who were grinning foolishly. After talking for a long time, none of them understood. Forget it, as long as her daughters-in-law could understand her knocking, it would be fine.
"Shiliu, your son-in-law really won't come over during the New Year?"
Shi Liu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's impossible. He's probably been very busy since he's arrested a lot of people recently."
"Oh, my son-in-law is too ambitious. If it doesn't work, you can go over and send some delicious food during the New Year. What kind of hot food can they eat in the mountains?"
Zhou Pan was really loved by Su Sanlan, and she felt distressed when she heard that he couldn't go down the mountain to celebrate the New Year.
Shi Liu thought that delivering food should be no problem so he agreed without hesitation.
Fourth Brother Shi grumbled somewhat unhappily, "Mom, you're too partial. You treat your brother-in-law better than you treat us."
Brother Shi punched him in anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? My brother-in-law has sent so many good things to our house recently. Did you not eat them or use them?"
Second Brother Shi was the most promising of the four brothers. When he heard what his fourth brother said, his face changed and he scolded him, "How can you say such things so carelessly? If my brother-in-law heard it, he might think we have something against him. My eldest sister is very lucky to have found a husband with such qualifications as my brother-in-law. Don't do anything rash."
Third Brother Shi also shook his head in disapproval: "Just because my brother-in-law brought these good things, he would be treated as a guest of honor in any family in the village. You kid, don't be so mean." Zhou Pan is the best candidate that the eldest sister can get in touch with, and he can't let the fourth brother ruin things.
Fourth Brother Shi had never expected that his complaint would lead to a scolding from his three brothers. He felt somewhat aggrieved: "I was just saying it casually, why are you all so fierce?"
Shi Liu shook her head helplessly upon seeing this. As the fourth brother, she was young, and the three older brothers usually gave in to him. Compared with the other brothers, he was really childish. However, she didn't think that the fourth brother had any bad intentions. Maybe he was just jealous?
Su Sanlan looked at her three eldest sons and nodded with satisfaction. "The eldest, second, and third sons are acting like themselves this time. Fourth son, you're not a child anymore. Why don't you speak without thinking? After the New Year, I'll have Matchmaker Yang find you a partner so you don't have to mess around all day."
When Fourth Brother Shi heard about finding a wife, his face turned red and he said in a muffled voice, "Mother, I don't want to get married yet."
Su Sanlan looked at her son's flushed face and sneered, "Alright, I know what you're talking about. You just want to find a beautiful wife, right? I'll tell Matchmaker Yang. But if you want to marry a beautiful wife, you have to see if you can support her. Su Hongxing's wife from Sujia Village was so beautiful, but she ended up running off with someone else."
Shi Da Ge also felt that his fourth brother had gone too far, and scolded him with a dark face: "Marry a virtuous wife, don't be so cunning. That Su Hongxing is still a soldier, he is not better than you, and yet he can't keep his wife."
Shi Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with marrying a beautiful wife. Everyone loves beauty. Take her, for example. If she hadn't been so beautiful, Zhou Pan wouldn't have fallen in love with her at first sight, and even entangled with her for two lifetimes. However, Brother Shi's concerns were not without reason. Beautiful women face more temptations, and if they can't resist, trouble will come. Of course, this also depends on whether the man is capable.
It's not that Shi Liu looks down on his fourth brother. Fourth brother Shi is sweet-talking and is definitely a good businessman. But the key is that the market is not open yet, so he can only stay in the countryside and farm. It is unlikely that he can make a name for himself for himself for the time being.
Fourth Brother Shi also knew that he was a bit picky, but he had to look at his eldest sister's beautiful face all day long. He really didn't want to spend the rest of his life with an ugly wife. This was really difficult for him.
To put it bluntly, Fourth Brother Shi was a bit obsessed with looks, and coupled with the fact that Shi Liu had invisibly elevated his aesthetic standards, women of average appearance naturally weren't appealing to him. In fact, the other three brothers in the Shi family were all more or less influenced by Shi Liu, otherwise they wouldn't all have such attractive wives. Even Second Sister Shi, who looked the most ordinary, was definitely a beautiful lady.
Inadvertently, pomegranate also acted as a "beauty that brings disaster".
Su Sanlan was so disgusted that she would be the first to refuse if she was asked to marry an ugly wife. The reason why she didn't stop her three sons from teaching the fourth son a lesson was because the boy was too picky. He said this was not allowed, that was not allowed, and had a lot of demands. He wanted to marry a fairy without even considering whether he was worthy of her.
Fourth Brother Shi was hit hard by his brothers' words. He just wanted to find a beautiful wife, so why was it so difficult?
Shi Liu almost laughed out loud at the funny look on Fourth Brother's face. He then turned to tease his eldest brother and the others, "Brother, you are talking without any hesitation. When you were choosing your wives, why didn't you find a plain-looking woman? All three of your sisters-in-law are very pretty."
The three brothers of Brother Shi had their younger brother exposed. Their faces turned red and they looked at their wives with evasive eyes.
Fourth Brother Shi: “…”
