Chapter 146 Never Bully Your Own Wife
After finishing the work of relocating the graves, the meal was ready when we got home. There were four meat dishes, which made the people who helped out feel a little bad. "It would have been fine if we just had something simple. It's such a waste to prepare such a rich meal."
Two days after Shen Nanzhi came back, every meal she hosted had meat, and the villagers did not miss out. They ate two meals with her, which were more sumptuous than what they had during Chinese New Year.
We cooked a big dish for dinner this time because of the village rule that people who come back from helping with funerals must be treated well to thank them for their help. After all, funerals are somewhat sinister and people won’t be willing to help unless they have a good relationship with you.
Shen Nanzhi also thanked everyone on behalf of Chen Hu and refused to let anyone nitpick on etiquette.
Chen Hu remembered everything she did. From now on, Nan Zhi would be his biological sister and the children's biological aunt.
Shen Nanzhi also prepared corn wine, which was unfiltered. It didn't look very nice, yellow and a little turbid. If it weren't for the strong aroma of the wine, it would have looked like something else.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Shen Qingshan drank a bowl of wine. The villagers were not so particular. It was good enough to have wine to drink. The cheapest wine in the town cost thirty cents per pound. Wine was made from refined grains and was not cheap.
"Corn wine is made from the corn we grow. If we can't finish eating it, we can raise pigs and chickens and make wine."
"How can we not finish it? We are lucky if we can have dry food every day. How dare we think we have enough food to make wine?"
"That's right. Having enough food to eat and not going hungry is the best life. Nan Zhi is thinking too well."
Shen Nanzhi just smiled and said nothing. They would know later.
The others followed suit and praised: "This wine is really good. Nan Zhi spent a lot of money."
Shen Qingshan rolled his eyes at them and said, "Nan Zhi said it was brewed from corn and the yield was very high. Could she have lied to you?
After drinking her wine, don't say so many bad things. Nan Zhi is well-educated and does business in the county town. She can even sit at the same table with the county magistrate for dinner. She has much more experience than us.
Don't learn from old man Jiang who looks down on women. Without women to help men with housework and raise children, how can there be a family?
We in Yushu Village will not follow that style. In the future, anyone who dares to beat his wife or look down on women will not be tolerated by me."
Everyone quickly promised that they would never bully their wives, would not learn from the Shimo Village, would unite with their neighbors, and the whole village would follow Nanzhi's footsteps and live a good life.
Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did he get involved?
After drinking half of the jar of wine, Aunt Shen put it away and said, "You are already about 70% drunk. If you drink more, you won't be able to get up tomorrow. You are not allowed to drink anymore."
Shen Qingshan slammed the table and said, "The old men are drinking, the old ladies should mind their own business. Bring it to me, I can still drink it. This wine is really good and strong!"
Just as Aunt Shen was about to pinch his waist and scold him, Shen Qingshan fell asleep with his head on the table. He was really drunk.
"This alcohol is too strong. I used to be able to drink a pound of alcohol without any problems, but now I can't handle it after just a few glasses."
Aunt Shen smelled the wine jar and said with emotion, "Nanzhi, this wine is very expensive, right?"
"They say it's made from corn, don't you believe it, Auntie?"
"Oh, really? That's great. When the corn is harvested in the fall, I will brew a few jars of it to entertain relatives and save money on buying it."
"Okay, I'll teach you how to make wine then."
"Okay, you should rest early too. You've been exhausted these past two days."
Shen Nanzhi wanted to stay and help with the dishes and clean up, but was pushed out by Aunt Shen and the aunts. Why did they want her to do these chores?
Shen Nanzhi shook her head, her heart filled with warmth. If the original owner knew that her family was so good to her, would she have left the Jiang family earlier?
But it's hard to say. The times have imprisoned women's thoughts. A married girl belongs to her husband's family. Her parents' home is not her own home, but her husband's home. She needs permission from her husband's family to visit her parents' home during the holidays. Even if she knows that her parents' home is good, she still has to endure the days at her husband's home.
Many young wives who were bullied by their mothers-in-law and committed suicide by jumping into the river were unable to return to their parents' home and were forced into a desperate situation and ended up dying.
Shen Nanzhi thought too much and lamented that life was difficult for women in this era.
We must also hurry up and make money so that we can live a good life.
Chen Hu's wound had to be changed at night. There was no inflammation and he was recovering well. Shen Nanzhi gave him some anti-inflammatory drugs to consolidate the effect. The rest was for the bones to heal on their own and he would have to rely on himself to recover.
Widow Xu has been with him all the time, so Shen Nanzhi had no excuse to take him to the space to recuperate, so he had no choice but to do this.
He gave Chen Hu's house deed and the remaining silver to Widow Xu, "Sister Xu, this is all my eldest brother's property. I'll give it to you for safekeeping from now on."
Widow Xu refused subconsciously: "I can't take this money. I've already troubled you a lot. I'll keep it for you."
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Brother Chen has already given me half. This half is for you and the children. You can live here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home."
Widow Xu felt relieved. She was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. "Is that so? It should be so. I won't be polite. Nanzhi, you should also go to bed early. You must be very tired after working all day."
"Okay, Sister Xu, you guys should also go to bed early. Don't think too much. Village Chief Jiang will pay the price. If he doesn't die, he will be skinned alive after entering the county government this time."
Shen Nanzhi went back to the room to rest, and naturally entered the space, which was very convenient for washing and so on.
I was too lazy to exercise, so I just used my mind to deal with things in the space. The corn harvest was good again, and the space could not hold all of them. Fortunately, the chicks were hatched, and the survival rate was 80%. There were 800 chickens, so they could consume a lot of corn.
Newly born chicks can only eat softened millet. Shen Nanzhi took care of the chicks for a whole night. When they came out again, they had grown some hard wings and were living happily.
I don’t know how this space was formed, but whether it is plants or animals, they are all free from disease and disaster, the survival rate is very high, and there is almost no death.
Border Collie Xiao Hei feels a little resentful. He has no motivation to herd sheep. He wants to play with the children. Why don’t they let him go out?
Shen Nanzhi rubbed its fluffy fur and said, "I'll let you out tomorrow, but we have to pretend that we don't know each other. You ran away from the mountains, and I tamed you violently and kept you at home to look after the house. Do you understand?"
Xiao Hei blinked his dark eyes and nodded to show that he understood.
Regardless of whether he really understood or not, Shen Nanzhi had taught Xiao Hei a lesson and he could keep him at home in the future.
The next morning, Shen Nanzhi went to the foot of the mountain to check on his more than 100 acres of land. Although he hadn't been there for two months, the corn had grown to more than half a person's height and was lush and green. The leaves were black and shiny, and it was obvious that enough fertilizer had been given. The corn was more than an inch taller than the corn in other people's fields.
The fertilizers in the space are exceptionally good, so this crop of corn will definitely be a bumper harvest.
Most of the crops were sweet potatoes. The ground was green all over and there was no sign of desolation. Shen Nanzhi looked at his own territory with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Xiao Hei ran down from the mountain and bared his teeth at her, like a feral hungry wolf. Shen Nanzhi found it quite funny. It turned out that Border Collies have high IQs. The performance was so realistic.
