The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice
Chapter 5: Angry at Aunt Li
This is when Shen Zhao was twelve years old and went to the town to sell medicinal herbs. When he passed by a house, he saw an old woman inside fall down and scream for help on the ground.
Fortunately, the original owner saw her and took the initiative to carry her to Renshan Hall, thus saving the old lady's life.
Logically speaking, since so much money was given to the original owner, he should have no shortage of servants to serve him. How come there was no one at home when the master fell down?
The original owner couldn't figure it out so she pretended not to know and happily accepted the life-saving money.
The original owner had her own views on money. It was because Mr. and Mrs. Shen did not give her enough love that she regarded money as her sense of security.
So the original owner didn't tell anyone about the money.
Shen Zhao knew from his memory that this was the dowry she had saved for him. Shen Zhao also knocked a small hole in the corner of the table, and inside was two taels of silver and dozens of copper coins.
Shen Zhao searched everywhere again, inside and outside, from the cracks in the bed to the cracks in the wall tiles, and finally found six places where the original owner had hidden the money. They were really hidden.
No wonder the original owner was apparently a poor man who depended on the Shen family for food and drink.
Shen Zhao counted them and found a total of one hundred and fifty taels, including two gold hairpins, two silver hairpins, and a gold bracelet, which was enough for the original owner to live a good life.
Shen Zhao didn't know what the original owner was thinking, but she was determined to leave the Shen family. Since she was not this family's child, there was no point in staying there any longer.
Shen Zhao thought about his future plans and gradually fell asleep.
About half an hour later, Shen Zhao woke up.
Hmm, seems a bit boring.
Shen Zhao was originally required to share a quarter of the Shen family's work, but all the work that belonged to the second branch of the Shen family was pushed to the original owner by Shen's mother.
It can be said that Shen's mother's life is nothing but taking care of her youngest son, and as Shen Wenxue grows up, he no longer needs to be looked after all the time.
It can be said that Shen's mother has very free time.
Shen Zhao did not plan to find a job after traveling here. As for the food and living expenses, she would settle them with the Shen family before leaving.
Shen Zhao decided to go up the mountain to try out his strength.
Shen Zhao set off with a backpack half a person's height on his back. Before leaving, he shouted towards the main hall,
"Grandma, I'm going to go up the mountain to take a look."
Shen Zhao walked leisurely along the country road. Hmm, the air is so clean and the grass smells so nice.
Shen Zhao was completely immersed in the clean and refreshing air environment of the countryside.
"Oh, isn't this Shen Zhao from the second branch of the Shen family? I heard that your mother went to celebrate your grandfather's birthday without you. No wonder, if she had brought you, your good reputation would have ruined the birthday party. If you hook up with some cousins, you'll have hope for the rest of your life."
[The host is Aunt Li]
Shen Zhao looked up and down at the sarcastic middle-aged woman in front of him. She had drooping eyebrows, high cheekbones, and fine lines at the corners of her eyes as numerous as hairs.
The system's description of this melon owner is actually - "Green Tea Lady Li".
Shen Zhao was very surprised. She thought he was weak and looked very old.
Who knew it was so different.
Aunt Li shuddered in fear at the strange look given by Shen Zhao.
This little bitch, why does she look so strange today, as if she is some kind that she has never seen before.
The lady next to her took over the conversation and said sarcastically,
"His second sister-in-law, Shen Zhao is not Shopkeeper Lin's biological granddaughter, be careful not to get in the door if you go there? Hahaha, this is really hilarious!"
Shen Zhao couldn't understand how two women in their thirties could say such sarcastic words to a girl in her teens. What hatred or grudge was there?
Shen Zhao was not one to suffer a loss, she mocked back word by word,
"Auntie Li, your son is already 18 years old, why hasn't he found a wife yet? Maybe he has some health problems, Auntie Li, remember to take him to see a doctor."
"Auntie Lin, I heard that your daughter fell in love with a student who already had a wife. Your daughter even threatened to marry him as a concubine?"
Come on! Hurt each other, who doesn't have some news that spreads far and wide?
Aunt Li and Aunt Lin jumped up like cockroaches whose tails had been stepped on, the flesh on their faces trembling.
"Shen Zhao, today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother for not respecting your elders and talking nonsense."
The two men stretched out their hands as big as palm-leaf fans and fanned Shen Zhao's little face.
Shen Zhao's pretty face turned cold, and she dodged swiftly. At the same time, she gathered her strength and pounced forward. She exerted force with her hand and immediately grabbed a handful of dry hair.
"Ah! It hurts!"
The hair in Shen Zhao's hand belonged to Aunt Li, and the wailing sound naturally came from her mouth.
Aunt Lin was glad to touch her intact scalp.
Shen Zhao was too fierce today.
The reason why Shen Zhao only pulled Aunt Li's hair was because Aunt Li always talked about the original owner to others, saying things like she was restless, a slut, and a seducer, and all sorts of other things.
Although everyone in the village knew that Aunt Li was a gossip and that what she said could not be trusted, some people were willing to believe these nonsense.
He joked with others and made fun of the original owner, as if describing the original owner in a terrible way could prove how noble he was.
Aunt Li was the first one to do this, and it was she who single-handedly spread bad words about the original owner.
As for the reason why Aunt Li did this, it was naturally because of her son whom she had treasured for eighteen years.
Li Tianbao, the son of Aunt Li, is the only child of the Li family. He is spoiled beyond belief. He does not know the difference between grains, does not go to the fields to farm, and just idles away his time every day.
No girl in the village was interested in him, but he didn't care. He had high standards and was determined to find a beauty.
After searching for three years without success, he fell in love with the original owner.
After all, the original owner had a good foundation since childhood. When she was 15 years old, she already had a beautiful face and a slender and graceful figure of a girl.
Aunt Li naturally didn't want her son to marry a bastard who was brought up from nowhere, and she firmly opposed it.
In her opinion, it would be best for her son to marry a girl from the town like Shen Congwei, and even better, bring her to the town so that she can enjoy a good life.
Li Tianbao refused. After years of setbacks, he gradually gained self-awareness.
The original owner was the person he could easily marry now.
Aunt Li was unexpectedly persistent on this matter. She felt that her son acted like this because he was completely bewitched by the original owner.
They found people everywhere to spread rumors that the original owner was restless and seductive.
The original owner had no ability before, so when he met Aunt Li, he could only stay away from her and was afraid to meet her.
Now Shen Zhao was avenging his old hatreds and new ones at the same time. While Aunt Li was touching her hair, Shen Zhao punched hard, gathering strength in his palms, and quickly stepped forward, slapping her left and right while shouting fiercely,
"Auntie Li, I'll slap you for every word you said before. The more excited you are, the more I'll slap you! If I hear you say bad things about me again, I'll break your son's legs and tell him to stay away from me."
clap clap clap!
