Chapter 194 Bang
Shen Yetang punched his little fist, deeply regretting that he only had strength but no sign of his wood-related supernatural power emerging. "Isn't Mom suffering from heatstroke?"
“We didn’t know that mom was pregnant with my little brother.
She'd been harvesting wheat for two days straight, and just as she was loading it onto the truck, she slipped and fell. "She started bleeding," Shen Yexi said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I was so shocked when I saw the blood."
Pushing his sister out of the house, he said, "It was my eldest brother who reacted quickly and called Xu Bo Niang and the others who were harvesting wheat in the fields.
Everyone unloaded a small cart and carried my mother back, and someone else brought Grandma Qi back on their back..."
"Third sister." Shen Yetang hurriedly held her hand and hugged her: "Mom will be fine. Grandma Qi's medical skills are still good.
Last time, it was she who brought down my fever with her folk remedy."
"Yes, the bleeding has stopped. Granny Qi also said that the patient is safe.
That's right, mother has to stay in bed for a while from now on." Perhaps with her sister's hug, Shen Yexi felt relieved.
She took a deep breath and said in her usual agile manner, "Brother went to Dazhouzhuang to ask the doctor to prescribe medicine.
My second brother sprained his leg while carrying my mother. He is boiling water in the kitchen. You go and take his place."
"Then third sister, please keep an eye on the room. I'll go see second brother." Shen Yetang pushed his sister back to the main room and ran quickly to the kitchen.
Why run? Actually, the Shen family's yard is divided into two houses, east and west yards, but there is no wall in the middle, and the kitchen is only located in the east wing of the east yard.
The farmyard is already large. Shen Yetang's father originally had four brothers, and the land was bought by the older generation a long time ago. The total area is several thousand square meters, plus the backyard is definitely more than three or four acres.
Furthermore, due to the regulations of the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, ordinary farmers could not build five large main houses. So, when the three and a half earthen and half tiled main houses on both sides were not very wide, the courtyard was several dozen meters deep.
Shen Yetang ran into the kitchen and saw his second brother Shen Yu absentmindedly adding firewood to the stove, but he didn't even notice that the water in the big pot was almost boiled dry.
She sighed, turned around, and fetched water from the tank behind the door and added it to the pot.
Shen Yu was awakened and wanted to stand up: "Xiao Si, mother is fine."
"I know." Shen Yetang stepped forward to support his unstable body, ignoring the traces of suspected tears on his face.
He made him sit down to look at his ankles, and saw that his right ankle was swollen. Shen Yetang pushed up the hem of his trousers and prepared to press.
"Don't move, it will be fine tomorrow." Shen Huai was thirteen years old after all, and even though she was his biological sister, he was embarrassed to let her press on him. "Before my elder brother left, he used a cloth soaked in cold water to apply to me."
Shen Yetang: “Ignore it, it won’t get better the day after tomorrow.
Second brother, don't be as pedantic as the scholars in the school. We farmers are not the young masters and young ladies in the big houses.
When working in the fields, everyone has exposed insteps, and when fishing in the water, they have to go barefoot. In the summer, they wear straw sandals without socks.
As she said that, she pressed a few times without paying attention to the dirt: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"here?"
"No...ah, hiss."
"The bones are fine, just the tendons." Shen Yetang said, and one of his hands exerted force.
one……
"Pa!" Shen Lingzhu slapped Zhao's daughter-in-law without any hesitation. Everyone was shocked, some stepped back, and some cried for help.
"You..." The Zhao family's daughter-in-law hadn't finished her words when she was hit by Shen Lingzhu again. She couldn't dodge because the person who twisted her hand and pressed her back was very strong.
Shen Lingzhu saw the Cai family's eldest wife coming out of the wing room and sneered, "Does it hurt? These two slaps will teach you not to talk big.
My second sister is not someone you can manipulate."
Shen Bagu never expected that Xiao Zhuzi would actually come to her door. She took a deep breath. If she asked them to stop now, she would be in trouble. She could only glare at the maids and servants from the main rooms who dared to surround them and said, "Behave yourself."
The Chuihua Gate was not far from the east wing. The eldest wife of the Cai family had already heard the report from the little maids. Since her people were beaten, there was no way she wouldn't come out.
But as soon as she left the house, she saw the little girl from the Shen family slap her again. The maid next to her, the mother-in-law of the Zhao family's daughter-in-law, immediately begged: "Madam, help me, this, the cousin came in and hit people, how can this be justified?"
If someone else had beaten her, the old woman might have run away, but Shen Lingzhu was brought by the second wife, and she was well-informed. She had heard that the master of the Cai family's branch who had studied cooking in the old restaurant for many years had been beaten several times by this little girl.
And every time I broke my bones I couldn't move for several days.
"Second brother's wife, what's going on?" The eldest wife of the Cai family took a few steps forward, but did not even leave the cross corridor, just watched from a distance.
The Zhao family's wife cried out loudly: "Madam, help me! I don't know why my cousin came in and hit people."
Bang! Shen Lingzhu turned around and slapped her face again: "Shut up, the master has no right to cry or howl.
If you don't want my tongue, keep yelling." As she spoke, she pulled out a short blade from her waist and slapped it on the face of the Zhao family's wife.
The latter suddenly became like an old hen with its neck strangled, and dared not cluck anymore.
"Little Zhuzi, you can't do that!" Shen Bagu was shocked, and the people around her all stepped back in unison. They had never seen such a thing before.
"Sister-in-law, yes, alas! It's hard to say." Seeing that Shen Lingzhu stopped moving, Shen Bagu turned and walked towards the east wing.
She was in a difficult situation. If she said it in front of so many servants, wouldn't that embarrass Miaozhu again?
Shen Lingzhu was different. She looked at the Cai family's eldest wife and the official media who quietly walked out of the house, and said loudly: "There is nothing wrong with talking about it.
Our Shen family of Beigou, Shenquanji, has been farming and studying for generations. All of our family members have passed the imperial examinations, including becoming a scholar, a young scholar, and even a Jinshi.
"The girls in the clan have been able to read and write since childhood, are well-educated and well-mannered, and are skilled in women's work and weaving. They are the most sought-after marriages by many neighbors.
"Who would have thought that this woman would say that the Shen family's daughter was shameless and insisted on marrying Shang Jiazi but was rejected."
She looked directly at the Cai family's eldest wife on the other side. "She also said that this was said by the eldest wife herself, and that it's currently being spread among the wealthy families in half of the county."
"Nonsense, I never said that.
Luo Shi, go and slap her in the face." The eldest wife instructed a middle-aged maid beside her, but her eyes were fixed on Shen Lingzhu, as if she was going to hit her.
But Luo took a few steps forward and slapped the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family several times. She knew that the words that slandered the daughter of the Shen family were said by the mother-in-law of the Zhao family in front of the wife.
And this was said in front of the matchmaker in order to raise the Second Young Master's status.
On this side, Shen Bagu was stunned by what she heard and watched. It seemed that the Zhao family's wife had never mentioned what her eldest sister-in-law said, and Xiao Zhuzi made up lies in front of her eldest sister-in-law without changing his expression.
At this moment, Shen Lingzhu approached the Cai family's eldest wife and bowed slightly. "Please explain. By slandering the Shen family's daughter like this, are you trying to declare to outsiders that you will not communicate with the Shen family and are you trying to become an enemy of them?"
"No, that's not true, this servant is talking nonsense.
Luo, give the Zhao family's daughter-in-law ten strokes of the cane and send her to the farm to do hard labor." The Cai family's eldest wife didn't dare hesitate.
If the matter gets out of hand and reaches the master's ears, I will also be the one to suffer the consequences.
But what she feared came true. As soon as she finished giving the order, she saw Master Cai hurried in.
