Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 32 Fire

When Shen Mu heard the words, he just smiled gently and did not answer.

Mrs. Zhang was ashamed of making a fuss, and she was very angry in her heart.

But she coveted the benefits of the silk quilt and satin in her heart, so she had no choice but to drop her teeth and swallow it.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, Mrs. Zhang was a little thirsty, but she still felt disgusted after seeing the bowl of tea Wu Qiuniang brought up.

She held back her thirst and continued to speak with a smile: "We are all a family, and cooperation can only be convenient for your Shen family, and will not take advantage of you."

As she said that, she came forward and took Wu Qiuniang's hand affectionately and said, "But business is not easy now, so let's just get [-] points."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help counting excitedly in her heart, how much money the Wu Mansion could make if it was [-] points, and how much money would go into her pocket.

Shen Jintang heard the words, and asked abruptly from the side: "Who is eight? Who is two?"

Mrs. Zhang blurted out: "Of course it's the eighth of our Wu family, and the second of your Shen family."

Hearing this, Shen Jintang called out to Shen Yunxuan and said, "Second brother, bring a stick and beat the dog to see off the guests!"

If she really agrees to cooperate with the Wu family in this way, then she is really second.

When Shen Yunxuan heard the words, he immediately responded loudly.

He has long been impatient. Is there something wrong with the Wu family?Always like to treat others as fools.

He walked out quickly and found a stick in the yard, and without handing it to Shen Jintang, he directly hit Mrs. Zhang: "You came here uninvited? You still treat our family as fools? Are you the only one who is smart?"

Every time he uttered a word, he hit Mrs. Zhang with a stick.

He is a martial artist, and his strength is stronger than that of ordinary men. This stick looks light and useless, but in fact, it hurts so much that Zhang almost jumps his feet.

"Wu Qiuniang!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't dodge the beating, and with disheveled hair, she turned her head and shouted at Wu Qiuniang angrily, "Is this how your family treats guests?"

While speaking, Shen Yunxuan hit her calf again with a stick. She was so painful that she couldn't stand still, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"We came to seek your cooperation with good intentions, but you actually hit me with a stick?" Mrs. Zhang got up from the ground cursingly and was supported by her maid: "I am also your aunt, Shen Yunxuan, right? Just wait for me, you guys The Shen family wait for me!"

Old Madam Wu also didn't expect that they would use sticks to drive people away. Seeing the eldest daughter-in-law grinning grinningly after being beaten, she was afraid that Shen Yunxuan would also hit her with a stick, so she quickly asked the woman beside her to help her go out.

Looking at their backs, Wu Qiuniang couldn't help wiping away her tears, and sighed, "Oh, what's going on!"

Why did she have such a hard life to be in such a natal family?
Shen Jintang stepped forward and put his arms around her and said, "Mother, this world is so big, there are all kinds of people. We live our lives well, as long as we are worthy of our own conscience, there is no need to torture ourselves for other people's thoughts and mistakes."

When Wu Qiuniang heard the words, she glanced at her and said, "That's the truth, but... oh, mother is not as open as you."

After Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhang were kicked out of Shen's house, Mrs. Zhang touched the place where she was beaten and turned her head to look at Shen's house. The coldness in her eyes made her heart tremble.

"Mother, the Shen family treated our mothers and daughters like this today, it simply doesn't take our Wu family seriously." She said: "We can't make it easy for them."

Mrs. Wu nodded upon hearing this.

Wu Qiuniang was not her daughter in the first place, so she didn't like her, and she wished that she would have a bad life.

Now that she is at such an age, and has suffered such humiliation at the Shen family, it is best if her daughter-in-law is willing to take revenge.

"Whatever you want to do, you can do it boldly." Mrs. Wu said, patted her hand, and said, "Mother is behind you."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and smiled coldly, her eyes were wet and cold, like a poisonous snake dormant in the depths of the grass, ready to jump out and bite you when you are not prepared.

Shen Jintang and the others naturally did not know what Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhang were planning.

The Chinese New Year is about to come, and their family is so busy that they still haven't had time to buy new year's goods in the future.

When the Lantern Festival is over next year, Shen Mu will leave the county to take the township examination.

At this moment, the whole family just wants to have a lively and happy New Year together.

The closer the Chinese New Year is, the more people go to the market in the town.

Of course, when the weather got colder, more and more people became sick, and most of them were caused by viral wind-cold.

Therefore, when the rest of the family was shopping for new year's goods in the town, only Shen Jintang and Shen Yunxi stayed at home.

Shen Jintang was seeing a doctor, while Shen Yunlu was helping her.

In this regard, Shen Yunxuan has a delicate mind and a good memory, so it is more suitable than Shen Yunxuan to help record the pulse and write prescriptions.

Now that the Shen family has money, although they haven't built a new house, some furniture, cabinets, sheets and bedding have been replaced with brand new ones.

Shen Jintang generously took out several silk quilts, and replaced them with light and warm silk quilts for his parents and brothers.

The closer the time is to the New Year, the more you can feel the strong flavor of the New Year.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day before New Year's Eve.

On this day, Shen Jintang finally didn't see the doctor and was ready to rest for a day.

Unexpectedly, just after lunch, the tenants in the village came in a hurry, their faces blackened.

"Master, it's not good." The tenant said with a blackened face, "The warehouse in the village has been burned."

"What?" Shen Mu, Wu Qiuniang and the others stood up abruptly after hearing the words.

Those finished silk quilts and woven satins are all locked in the warehouse in Zhuangzi.

The tenants said that the warehouse was burned. Doesn't that mean that the silk quilts and satins were burned?
That is the fruit of their hard work for nearly half a year.

When making silk quilts and weaving those silks and satins, many workers were hired, and nearly a hundred taels of silver were paid for the wages alone.

Shen Jintang walked out quickly, and then said: "You come back to Zhuangzi with me, and tell me carefully how the warehouse in Zhuangzi caught fire? Has the fire gone out now? What happened to it?"

Hearing this, the tenant hurriedly followed her out, and replied, "At that time, everyone was cooking lunch at home, and the chimney was smoking, and no one noticed that the warehouse was on fire."

"By the time I noticed that it was the warehouse that was smoking and on fire, the fire was already so big that it couldn't be extinguished. Although the fire has been extinguished now, the warehouse has also been burned into a pile of ruins."

Speaking of this, the tenant's tone was a little guilty.

After all, so many of their tenants lived in the Zhuangzi, and they even let the warehouse catch fire and emptied it. No matter what, they were also responsible.
