Chapter 14: Widow Yang's Shocking News

Shen Lianxin was in a good mood. All her most troublesome things had been solved, and she was no longer afraid of being exposed in front of the children.

I was thinking that I could get a bed at Carpenter Li's house and then go up the mountain, when I heard a curse from the side, "Bah! You bitch, walking around the village so arrogantly. You killed the head of the village. You are so shameless."

Shen Lianxin frowned and looked over. A young woman dressed more neatly and fashionably than the villagers spat at her. She was confused. Did she offend her? But she didn't remember it!

Aunt Liu was chewing melon seeds nearby and still bickering, "You widow, you're here to curse people? No matter how shameless someone is, they didn't seduce other people's husbands. You can't even tell where your own second son came from, and you're cursing others. Pah!"

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows. She had some impression that Aunt Liu didn't actually want to help her. She was mainly unhappy with Widow Yang, who always seduced her master to do work for her, either fetching water or chopping wood. Once, she even took out a sweat cloth to wipe the sweat off her mistress, and was caught by Aunt Liu. From then on, the two of them would curse each other whenever they met, but Widow Yang was always guilty and could not win the curse.

Shen Lianxin didn't want to pay attention, but she heard Widow Yang shouting in grievance, "Why can't you explain it clearly? I have said it so many times, my family's Youcai is the son of Gu the Hunter, but she is such a vicious woman, she killed Gu the Hunter, and made me unable to enter the family, and made us unable to recognize our ancestors."

Oh my god! Shocking news! So it was waiting for her here. Shen Lianxin really had no memory of this. She didn't know if this was the child of his old Gu family. But a modern person would never accept two women serving one man.

Gu Chengxin clenched his fists and shouted, "You are talking nonsense. He is not my father's child. My father said that he only loves my mother."

Seeing that Gu Chengxin was about to transform into a little tiger, Shen Lianxin didn't want to get entangled with her. She protected Gu Chengxin behind her and looked at Widow Yang coldly, "You said it was his child, right? Do you have evidence? Show me the evidence, or I'll tear your mouth off if you keep talking nonsense!"

At this moment, Widow Yang felt the coldness in Shen Lianxin's eyes, which made people shudder. Evidence? How can I get evidence with this thing? She definitely didn't have any evidence. Although she felt the horror of Shen Lianxin, she didn't show weakness. "How can I get this evidence? Is there any evidence that my family is rich and it's your Gu family's offspring? I don't accept it!"

Shen Lianxin looked at her coldly. You can't kill people in any era, but you can always beat people. Her main job is to be a killer, so beating a village woman is just a piece of cake. Shen Lianxin shook her wrists and walked towards Widow Yang.

Widow Yang saw that Shen Lianxin was really going to take action. She was not afraid of her at first. She was fatter than Shen Lianxin and had no disadvantage in terms of figure. But somehow, Shen Lianxin gave her a terrifying chill today, which made her feel afraid.

With a bang, Widow Yang closed the door and hid back in the house. Shen Lianxin didn't expect that Widow Yang would just leave like that, and she didn't want to get involved.

"Ouch! You were shouting so arrogantly, but why did you run away? I was waiting to see a fight! What a coward!" Aunt Liu said sarcastically.

Shen Lianxin looked at her with cold eyes, and Aunt Liu felt guilty, "Why are you looking at me? I'm helping you!" After saying that, she turned around, closed the door, and went back to the house.

Aunt Liu's intention to watch the fun and not be afraid of trouble should not be too obvious.

Shen Lianxin took Gu Chengxin and continued walking, all the way to the Li family at the entrance of the village.

It was Aunt Li who opened the door. Seeing that it was Shen Lianxin, she rolled her eyes and said, "What are you doing here? I don't have any food to lend you."

Shen Lianxin was speechless, "I came to find Carpenter Li and want to make a bed."

"Make a bed? Do you have the money?"

"You saw me buying cloth, so do you think I have money?" Shen Lianxin smiled, which made Aunt Li feel upset.

She really did buy two pieces of cloth. With her pig brain, who would buy cloth when they had no food? She must have bought food and then bought cloth. Why did she believe her words?

Carpenter Li heard the noise, pushed Aunt Li aside, and invited Shen Lianxin in. "Hunter, come in quickly and tell me what you want to do."

Carpenter Li was polite and rolled his eyes at Aunt Li, "Why don't you go get some water?"

Looking at Shen Lianxin and Gu Chengxin's new clothes, his eyes flickered slightly, "Chengxin has become much fairer, he is a good child."

After a few polite words, Shen Lianxin started to talk business, "Brother Li, I want to make four small stools, a rocking chair, and a larger wooden bed."

As he spoke, he took out the blueprint of the rocking chair that he had prepared earlier. The style was obvious at first glance, and it was the same as an ordinary chair, except that the bottom was curved. Carpenter Li's eyes lit up. This style was not new. He had seen it in the city, but he had never made it before.

"I can give it a try, but do you want to prepare the wood yourself or do you want me to prepare it for you?"

There is wood on the mountain, and cutting it down just requires effort. If you bring your own materials, Carpenter Li will only charge you for the labor. Otherwise, he will charge you for the materials.

Gu Chengxin wanted to say that he could go cut the wood. Shen Lianxin stopped him and said, "Brother Li, please help prepare the wood."

Carpenter Li nodded, "The wood is cheap, it's just the wood from our mountains. I will pick the best ones and chop them down for you, but I will charge you for my wood-cutting work, plus the labor fee. The bed will cost 1 guan, the stool will cost 100 wen each, and the rocking chair will cost 300 wen." After thinking for a while, he was afraid that it would be bad to ask for too much, so he asked, "Is that okay?"

Shen Lianxin thought it was very cheap, and was afraid that the rocking chair was too cheap. She nodded and said, "Okay, that's 1700 coins in total." Then she started to pay. If the copper coins were not enough, she gave 2 taels.

"Just give some deposit for this, you don't have to pay all."

"It doesn't matter whether you give it to me earlier or later. I trust Brother Li's craftsmanship, so just keep it!"

After receiving the money, Carpenter Li was worried. The villagers of Yunshan Village only earned about 2 taels of silver a year, mostly grain. After paying some taxes, there was very little food left that could be sold for money. Every household didn't have much extra money. After receiving the 2 taels of silver, Carpenter Li didn't have 300 coins to give to Shen Lianxin.

Carpenter Li gave the money to Aunt Li. Aunt Li's eyes lit up. She understood and smiled awkwardly at Shen Lianxin. Shen Lianxin understood, "You don't need to give me the remaining 300 coins. Just make another chair."

"Well, that's fine." Aunt Li also knew that Shen Lianxin understood them.

After sending the person to the door, he grabbed Shen Lianxin's hand and said uncomfortably, "Well, look at me, I usually don't know how to control my mouth. It's a pity that you don't bother with me and take care of my family's business. I..."

Shen Lianxin patted her hands and said, "Aunt Li, don't think too much. I understand."

Seeing Shen Lianxin walk away, Aunt Li returned to the yard and was overjoyed. It had been a long time since she had seen so much money. Although carpentry skills were profitable, it was not like a newlywed couple making furniture every day. This village was so small that she could not get more than two orders in a year.

He bit the silver with his teeth and said, "Ouch, it's soft. It left a mark. Hehehe."
