Chapter 213 Shen Nanzhi Come and Eat a Melon Tail
Shen Nanzhi also wanted to go and watch the fun. From what Aunt Hu said, the fun wasn't over yet, so if he went now, he might be able to catch some fun.
They went as soon as they said they would. After informing the village chief, Shen Nanzhi excitedly followed Aunt Hu back to Shimo Village.
On the way, Aunt Hu was still explaining: "I can really help you. I always eat your food and hesitate to pass on a message for you. I am really a piece of shit."
Aunt Hu had just come to her senses. All along, she had been telling Shen Nanzhi gossip and passing on information for her benefit. Shen Nanzhi was very generous and never let her go empty-handed.
If it were this kind of thing, any woman in the village would be eager to do it.
Shen Nanzhi said: "Aunt, don't say that, we are just visiting relatives normally, I am not trying to bribe you to do things for me.
The fact that my aunt sympathizes with the Jiang family shows that she is kind and unwilling to add insult to injury. Such character is rare and deserves my respect.
I wanted to find out what was going on, but I felt that it was not that simple. "
Aunt Hu felt much better, and blushed when Shen Nanzhi praised her. "Aunt is not that good. I'm relieved that you are not angry with me."
"No, am I such a petty person? When will your daughter get married? Have you finished shopping? I often go to the city, and I can bring back anything you need."
"That's great. I'll definitely look for you if I need anything. The wedding is still two months away, and I'll treat you to a wedding banquet then."
"Of course, it's for the good times."
Speaking of children, the topic was changed and we soon arrived at Shimo Village. From afar, we saw that the villagers had surrounded the Jiang family's house in three layers, and people were sitting on the branches of the trees, for fear of missing out on the excitement.
As long as it’s not over yet, Aunt Hu’s eyes brightened a few degrees when she saw her, and she was even more convinced that she was here to watch the fun.
The Jiang family deserved it. They had ruined such a capable daughter-in-law. Ever since Nan Zhi's divorce, nothing had gone smoothly in the family.
A good daughter-in-law can bring good fortune, a happy family, and everything goes well. What the old people say is true.
In the future, she will also have to take a good look at her daughter-in-law's character and find a good one for her son.
He couldn't help but look at Shen Nanzhi a little more, then shook his head. His silly son was not worthy of such a good girl like Nanzhi.
In addition, Nan Zhi was hostile to their village, so they couldn't say anything, otherwise their relationship would become strained.
Aunt Hu shook off the delusions in her mind and focused on eating the watermelon, her steps were faster than Shen Nanzhi's.
They could hear Jiang's mother's wailing and Jiang's father's helpless and angry roar from afar, but the problem had not been resolved yet.
"What's going on?"
Aunt Hu found a small mound of earth to sit on. The gossipy Aunt Wu and the gossipy Aunt Wangsun were there, talking animatedly.
"Hey, Shuiyun mother, where have you been? Didn't you see how Jiang Chen mother was throwing a tantrum? Old man Jiang's face was scratched beyond recognition. Tsk tsk, what a sin."
"That's right. It's all Lin's fault. She's unfaithful to her husband and has brought trouble to the whole family."
"Is this beautiful girl your relative? How old is she? Is she promised to be with you?"
Several aunts didn't recognize Shen Nanzhi and were all surprised. The timid ones felt scared when they were staring at them.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Shen Nanzhi has changed a lot. She can hardly recognize herself when she looks in the mirror.
Aunt Hu asked, "This is Miss Shen. How come you didn't recognize her?"
"Which Miss Shen?"
They looked at each other and suddenly gasped, "It's Shen!"
Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows. He couldn't get rid of the name Shen. In the damn ancient times, people were not even worthy of having their own names.
Although Shen Nanzhi left the village, she never disappeared, and was even more difficult for the villagers to ignore than before.
Many years later, Shen Nanzhi even became a legend in the village, passed down from generation to generation.
Shen Nanzhi greeted them generously: "Hello, aunties."
"It's really the Shen family, oh, no, Miss Shen, you are here..."
Shen Nanzhi said: "I will do whatever you do."
Everyone was speechless. It was impossible to refute what was said.
We are all here to watch the fun, so let's join in. Aunt Wu pulled her aside and said, "Miss Shen, I didn't expect that old man Jiang is this kind of person. Someone saw him enter his daughter-in-law's bathhouse, and he was almost ready to take action."
"Oh, it's really embarrassing and immoral."
"It's also Lin's fault. She was not a decent person before marriage. Otherwise, how could she have had sex with Jiang Si'er in the wild?"
"Alas, if it weren't for this moment, Miss Shen wouldn't have divorced."
At this time, everyone was on Shen Nanzhi's side, and there was more calculation in the aunts' eyes. If they could make Miss Shen happy and no longer have hostility towards the village, would they be able to buy high-yield grain seeds?
Thinking of this, he worked even harder to arrange things for the Jiang family.
Shen Nanzhi listened calmly without expressing any opinion. She just wanted to watch the fun. There were some things that she didn't need to tell these aunts.
"The village chief is here."
Someone shouted, and Village Chief Jiang came over with a sullen and dignified look. He went to the town to do some work, but was brought back before he finished. It was the Jiang family again?
This time it is even more immoral and more serious than Jiang Chen hooking up with a neighbor girl.
Village Chief Jiang also saw Shen Nanzhi. Why did she come here too?
Shen Nanzhi nodded but did not step forward. Village Chief Jiang began to worry a little more. This was a good opportunity to reconcile with Miss Shen.
"Village head, please help me, an old woman. I gave birth to four children for the Jiang family and even raised a scholar. How could he treat me like this?"
Father Jiang was furious: "I told you it was nothing, it was all coincidence, it was a misunderstanding, but you refused to listen and made such a fuss. The whole family is embarrassed."
Mother Jiang: "That's your fault too, you old man, you are so shameless. You are still restless at such an old age. Are you worthy of your son?"
There was blood all over Old Man Jiang's face, and some of the bloodstains had white flesh showing through. It was obvious how ruthless Mother Jiang was. Shen Nanzhi shuddered just by looking at it. How painful it must have been.
Where is Jiang Chen?
Jiang Chen was too embarrassed to come out, so he immediately advised his mother to keep quiet and talk at home, but his mother, who was overwhelmed by anger, refused to listen.
Scholars place more emphasis on filial piety, and as a son he cannot control his mother forcefully. Besides, he has three older brothers watching him, all looking at him unkindly. If he hadn't brought back this Lin, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the family.
And their hidden illnesses were all caused by the woman that fourth brother brought back.
They had forgotten that it was time to enjoy the pride and benefits brought by being a scholar, and only put all the blame on Jiang Chen.
Village Chief Jiang glanced at the two and shouted, "Shut up. Can crying and making a fuss solve the problem? What do you want? Do you want the ancestral hall to help you solve the case?"
"Opening an ancestral hall?"
Jiang's mother didn't think so much. She was just an ordinary woman who only had her husband and children in her heart. How could she think so much?
Her husband is everything to her, and she has dedicated her whole life to this family. Her son can take a concubine, which is a sign of romanticism and ability, but her husband cannot, especially at such an old age, when the other party is her son's daughter-in-law.
Father Jiang immediately said, "Village Chief, let's deal with this matter behind closed doors. I really didn't do anything. I just happened to pass by. I didn't expect Lin to be taking a bath. Nothing really happened."
Mother Jiang asked, "Do you dare to say that you didn't look at that little bitch's body?"
Father Jiang's face was red enough to drip blood. "Shut up. If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your son. Go home and tell him."
Shen Nanzhi said to Aunt Wu: "He is just avoiding the question. He is lying and changing the subject. He must have seen it."
Aunt Wu's eyes sparkled and she shouted, "Old Jiang, don't change the subject. Just tell me whether you saw it or not. Is it white? Is it tender?"
Shen Nanzhi lowered his head to hide the smile on his lips. Aunt Wu was really bold in asking questions, and her questions were all to the point.
The crowd laughed. They didn't care about the truth. They only cared whether these things were enough for them to talk about and whether they were on the points that interested them.
Jiang's mother exploded instantly: "Just tell me!"
His heart, which had just softened because of his son, was instantly forgotten, and his mind was filled with the old man's lies. He saw it, he saw it!
"I don't!"
Old Man Jiang could only give a direct answer and would never admit it.
"He looked. We all saw him leaning on the window with his butt sticking out to look."
I don't know whose children were shouting, but Old Man Jiang glared at them angrily. It was these kids who had harmed him.
The children immediately ran away and returned to their parents, peeking behind them with their eyes exposed. This made the villagers even more dissatisfied: "Dad Jiang Chen, you peeked and took your anger out on the children. You are shameless and you don't admit it. You are still a scholar's father. You have no face to do such a thing!"
Father Jiang glared at Mother Jiang with a sullen face: "You can make trouble if you want. You will be satisfied if you make the whole family alienated and your reputation is ruined."
Father Jiang simply stopped talking, turned around and went back to lock the door, not caring that Mother Jiang was still outside.
"What is he going to do? Is he going to kick me out? He has done such a good thing, how can he have the nerve to kick me out?"
Aunt Wu added: "Village head, we can't just watch Jiang Chenniang being bullied, you have to uphold justice.
What kind of attitude is it to lock the door when something happens? We need an explanation."
"That's right, I want an explanation."
This time, it was Lin Xueqing's family members who stood up. Lin's father and several of Lin Xueqing's brothers and cousins all held hoes, looking ready to teach the Jiang family a lesson.
"Oh, the Lin family is here too. It's even more lively now."
Shen Nanzhi was enjoying the show. It was more lively than a play, with one person singing and another taking the stage. I guess Jiang Chen must be having a headache right now, right?
When Jiang's mother saw the Lin family, she not only did not feel guilty, but became even angrier, "How dare you come to my house?
If you hadn't raised such a shameless daughter, would there be so many problems in my family?
It’s not enough that you harmed my son, you even dared to seduce my father-in-law!
How can she be so shameless? Can't she live without a man every day?
You still have the nerve to ask for an explanation? Bah, everyone can speak, but your family is not qualified.
Everyone, watch what kind of daughter the Lin family raises. Don’t marry their daughter in the future. It will bring disaster to three generations!"
Father Lin was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You old beggar, shut up, if your family hadn't treated Shen so harshly, would she have divorced?
He blames everything on my daughter. Is Jiang Chen a scholar? My daughter is ignorant, so is he ignorant too?
Is this something that one person can do? You want to tarnish the reputation of my Lin family, I will fight you. "
Jiang's mother was not easily frightened. She put her head on Lin's father's stomach and said, "Hit me, hit me to death. I don't want to live anymore..."
Father Lin was forced to retreat again and again, with anger flashing in his eyes. He wished he could kill the old woman directly, but he had some reservations. If he really killed her, he would have to pay with his life!
"Get out of the way, I'm coming!"
Although Lin's mother arrived late, she still showed up at the critical moment and grabbed Jiang's mother's hair and started beating her. She had been doing housework all year round, and she was not comparable to Jiang's mother, a lazy girl who had her daughters-in-law serve her. She was beaten so hard that she had no power to fight back.
Shen Nanzhi said with a click of his tongue: "Oh my, this is such a terrible beating."
But it was a relief. Mother Jiang had always treated the original owner harshly. No matter how much work the original owner did or how much money he made, he couldn't warm her heart.
In the Jiang family yard, the elder Jiang and his friends looked out through the crack of the door, feeling distressed. "Mom got beaten, are we really going to just ignore it?"
Jiang Lao Er hesitated: "Dad said that whoever dares to open the door will not be allowed to come back and will be kicked out of the house."
"This……"
Boss Jiang didn't dare to do it. After all, his father was the head of the family. He had to be filial to his mother and listen to his father.
Jiang Lao Er asked: "You said, is our father really related to Lin..."
Boss Jiang coughed and said, "Shut up, do you want to die?"
Outsiders can tell this, but the sons dare not tell it, or they will be beaten.
In the room, Jiang Chen and his father looked at each other. Father Jiang was embarrassed and ashamed, "Si'er, it's all Dad's fault, but your mother's behavior is really going to ruin this family!
Don't let the family disgrace be made public. Doesn't she feel sorry for her father and for you, her son who is a scholar?"
Jiang Chen asked, "Dad really likes Lin?"
Father Jiang was ashamed, "Dad didn't, we are all men, you should know that seeing a woman bathing always makes me feel itchy, but Dad just wanted to take a look, I really didn't do anything to let you down."
Jiang Chen closed his eyes. There was no need to ask anymore.
"What to do now?"
Jiang Chen was upset when he heard the sounds of beating and scolding coming from outside. Why couldn't he change his life even though he tried so hard?
He opened his eyes again and said, "Dad, you must not admit this. It's all Lin's fault for not being careful and not avoiding suspicion. You are so old and your health is not good. What can you think?"
Father Jiang: "Hey, Dad is old, but he is not incapable. He is still capable."
Jiang Chen was speechless. Is now the time to worry about this?
Father Jiang was embarrassed, "As a man, you can't say no."
Jiang Chen: “…”
It hurts even more, his face is gloomy and ugly, "I will take my brothers to deal with it."
The door of the Jiang family was finally opened. Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back. The scholar's majesty and dignity made the villagers still in awe. They lowered their heads unconsciously and dared not offend him.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, go and help mother in."
The two sisters-in-law did not dare to refute, "Okay."
Mother Lin wanted to shout more and didn't want to let the man go, but when Jiang Chen looked at her, she unconsciously let go of his hand.
"Si Er, you have to make the decision for me..."
"Mother, stop talking. Go back first and let the sisters-in-law wash you. I'll take care of everything."
