Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 125: Excessive Shen Dadong

"She married into our Shenjia Village and naturally became a member of our Shen family. Since she couldn't give birth to a son, for the sake of the Shen family, Li Zheng had the right to ask Shen Xiaoxian to divorce her."

"In the past, when there were many people in Shenjia Village, if there were elders in the clan, divorcing a wife would require the consent of the elders and the head of the village."

Ji Wenhe muttered, "Fortunately they are gone, otherwise I would have become the sinner of the Shen family."

She must be annoyed to death every day, asking why she doesn't have a child, why she doesn't give birth to a big fat boy for Shen Rongshan, etc.

Lan Qiuhua said with a smile: "It's not as scary as you think. It depends on whether your man is willing. If he is not willing, the head of the village can't force him to divorce."

"After the divorce, will he give her money to marry another one? So it depends on what my man wants."

The reason why Shen Xiaoxian did not divorce his wife was that he knew he was not capable of marrying another one.

What's more, where would women go after divorce? Where could a woman go with three children?

Ji Wenhe still thought everything was too simple. This place was different from his previous life.

After noon, Shen Rongshan came back.

"Wen He."

Hearing the sound, she hurried out of the house, stood at the door, and looked him up and down.

Before coming back he took a bath in the river, and his body was clean and his clothes were washed.

"Why are your clothes wet?"

Shen Rongshan took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here, I killed a wolf and sold it in town. You take it. I'm going to go into the house to change clothes."

"Go quickly, you will get sick easily if you wear wet clothes." Ji Wenhe stood in the yard waiting for him, counting the copper coins in his hand.

A total of six hundred and eighty coins.

She stood by the door: "Brother Shen, are you hurt?"

"No."

"really?"

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

"Okay, I believe you."

The door opened from the inside, Shen Rongshan changed into a new set of clothes she had made, and took her hand: "I'm sorry for your hard work these few days when I was away from home."

Ji Wenhe moved closer to him, hugged his waist, and shook his head: "It's not hard, there is no heavy work at home, and Yuanshan and Wenshan are here."

Being with him, I feel a very reassuring and stable feeling.

Looking up, "Aunt Wu's wedding is scheduled for the 12th, the fifth day of the first lunar month. Let us bring a pound of lean meat and half a pound of pork belly."

He lowered his head and looked at her, his hands around her waist, his eyes full of love: "Okay, I'll go to town to buy supplies tomorrow."

"By the way, don't buy any more pork belly and lean meat. We didn't sell all the stock we bought last time, so we pickled it at home."

After a few more days of sun, it’s almost ready to eat.

Shen Rongshan saw that it was still early and planned to go into the mountain: "Wen He, I'll go to the mountain to take a look, you go to Aunt Lan's house."

Ji Wenhe wanted to go with him, but knew he would not agree, so he did not say anything.

"Ah."

Carrying a basket and a sickle, he went to the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and brought back a bundle of branches.

When we were coming down the mountain for the second time, Shen Dadong came towards us.

"Rongshan."

Shen Rongshan said helplessly: "Uncle Dong, I have already made it clear to you. I still have family, and I don't want to harm them."

After visiting him that night, the two met again the next day, and he explained the interests involved to him.

"Rongshan, uncle really can't find anyone he trusts. If the head of the village knew about this, he would definitely drive our family out of Shenjia Village."

Shen Dadong hunched his back and looked up at him from bottom to top, his appearance looked pitiful and his tone was pleading.

“Rongshan, he didn’t listen to me. Now he must have made a lot of money. He wants to buy a house in town and sell the foundation of his home.”

"The foundation of our family's land has been passed down from generation to generation. How can we just sell it away? But I couldn't persuade him. He had a quarrel with me last night, ran away, and hasn't come back today."

"Uncle, please think of a way to stop him from doing that. If this gets out, he...he..."

It's certain death!

Shen Rongshan looked at the man in front of him indifferently: "Uncle Dong, the only way to stop him is to surrender to the authorities and give those people away to atone for the crime."

"But he..."

Didn’t he get involved?

How could he bear to leave his only son? He was counting on him to support him in his old age.

"Uncle Dong, this is the only solution I can think of. It's not that I don't want to help you, but the crime he committed deserves the death penalty."

"I don't know anyone in town. How can you ask me to help him? You're worried that if you tell others about it, something might happen to your son. What about me?"

"Uncle Dong, have you ever thought about what will happen to me if I become an accomplice after the incident? Will my family be implicated? Have you ever thought about that?"

Shen Dadong lowered his head in shame. It's not that he hadn't thought about it, he had thought about it a long time ago, but he had no way to do it.

The Shen family's only child cannot be killed in his generation. How will he explain to his ancestors when he meets them a hundred years later?

Shen Rongshan's tone was still indifferent: "Uncle, I, Shen Rongshan, have no ability. If you want to eat some wild game, I can go to the mountains to help you hunt."

"But I wouldn't dare to interfere in a capital crime, even if I had the guts to do so. You think too highly of me. I'm just a hunter."

After saying that, she didn't even look at him and just walked past him.

Shen Dadong looked at his receding back in despair, fell to the ground, and kept slapping his thigh.

"What sin have I committed to raise such a thing?"

Shen Rongshan heard the voice behind him but did not look back.

It's right for him to do this for his son, but he can't push others into the fire for his son.

Thinking of how she often sent wild vegetables and branches to her home when he was not at home, perhaps it was also to make up for the mistakes her son made.

He did not completely break up with their family. Now it seems that there is no need to care about the past relationship.

The next day.

The three brothers dressed up and went to the town to buy goods.

Ji Wenhe did not forget to remind: "Salt, remember to buy a pound of salt."

She had almost used up the remaining salt at home, and there was only enough for two meals.

Shen Yuanshan waved his hand: "I understand, sister-in-law."

Shen Rongshan went to Zhaojia Village to borrow a donkey cart and had been waiting at the village gate.

Passing by the vegetable fields, I saw many people looking at the seedlings and greeted them one by one.

Niu Guilan clicked her tongue twice: "The Rongshan family's life is getting better and better. I envy them."

Everyone in the village knew that she was a person who loved to ask for money. She didn't go to Shen Rongshan's house to ask for money. She must have been scared that day.

Wang Erfeng joked: "Then go to their house and ask if you can bring your family into the business."

He glanced at her unhappily and said, "Why don't you go?"

Do you think she can't hear that you are teasing her?

"If I'm not jealous, what would I do?"

"I'm not jealous either."

Niu Guilan snorted and went home.

Zhou Xiaoyu laughed and said, "I think she was frightened by Rongshan's wife. She was afraid that the sickle would hit her."

"That's right. Otherwise, with her thick skin, how could she not go to their house to beg for money?"
