Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 4 Beaten
Shen Jintang's eyes lit up when she looked at the pheasant. When she was picking the mushrooms, she was still thinking that stewed chicken with mushrooms would be the best. Unexpectedly, the second brother actually killed a pheasant.

Seeing her gaze, Shen Yunxuan smiled and mentioned the two rabbits whose limbs were tied up in his hand: "Does my sister like it? I'll raise it for you when I get home."

Shen Jintang shook her head, pointed to the pheasant in Shen Yunxuan's other hand and said excitedly: "Second brother, let's eat chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight!" She pointed to the mushrooms she picked in her back basket and said, "Look, I Picked a lot of fungus."

Shen Yunxuan heard the words and looked over, couldn't help laughing: "Sister, although there are many fungi in this mountain, they can't be eaten indiscriminately, they will be poisoned."

"Second brother, don't worry, the ones I picked are not poisonous and can be eaten." Shen Jintang said.

Shen Yunxuan was puzzled: "How do you know which ones are poisonous and which ones are not?"

"I read it in a book." Shen Jintang said.

Shen Yunxuan thought of the days when his sister was reading at home, and fell silent.

When the brother and sister went back, they saw a group of people surrounding their door from a distance.

There was a wailing sound from the crowd.

"It's Second Uncle's voice." Shen Yunxuan frowned, and pulled Shen Jintang into the crowd.

I saw Shen Song being tied up by a tall man, with some unfamiliar faces standing beside him, kicking him from time to time.

Opposite them stood Shen Mu, Wu Qiuniang and Shen Yunyu with livid faces.

Shen Jintang's grandparents were begging Shen Mu: "Ah Mu, he is your younger brother, if you don't save him with money, he will be beaten to death!"

Shen Mu looked at his parents with disappointment and pain on his face: "Father and mother, I can't get 20 taels of silver! Our family has no land, and we need to spend money to buy food and drink. How can we save such money?" How much money?"

As soon as Shen Mu said this, Shen Yukang and his wife felt a little short of breath. Shen Yukang coughed a few times and said to him, "It doesn't cost 20 taels, you give ten taels of silver, and we can pay ten taels of silver."

At this moment, those people kicked Shen Song again and again, and Shen Song howled after kicking: "Don't kick, don't kick. I really didn't know Wan'er had a husband. She told me Her husband died long ago, oh..."

The men punched and kicked him after hearing the words, and said fiercely: "What Wan'er said is not the same as what you said, Wan'er said that you forced her."

Shen Song's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he wanted to defend himself, but was slapped on the face by a slap on the ear: "Don't talk nonsense, 20 taels of silver, not one less."

These words were spoken to Shen Yukang and his wife and Shen Mu.

The old couple, Shen Yukang and his wife, were so distressed that they covered their hearts and yelled my son.

When Shen Jintang saw this, he understood.

It turned out that Shen Song hooked up with a married woman named Wan'er, and was discovered by another husband, who extorted 20 taels of silver.

Shen Yukang's old couple couldn't come up with so much money, so they took them to their home to ask their father for it.

Really, shameless enough.

The tall man in the lead shifted his gaze to Shen Mu again, and saw that he was wearing a long gown that looked elegant, so he couldn't help pulling his lips and said, "Mr. Two taels of silver, after this year, even if you need to spend money to buy food and drink, you have to save five or six taels of silver, right?"

When the surrounding villagers heard the words, they all whispered to each other.

"Mr. Shen has so much money for one month's repair? After a year of farming, we can save two or three taels of silver by saving food and drink."

Shen Mu's face was a little annoyed, this group of people obviously just inquired and came to blackmail them on purpose.

It's true that he pays two taels of silver for one month's repair, and it doesn't take much money to eat and drink.

But his family not only eats and drinks, but also pays five hundred Wen to his parents every month, and buys pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all of which are costly.

"Amu, what they said is right. You can easily earn two taels of silver a month, and it doesn't cost much to eat and drink. Why can't you get ten taels of silver? They beat your brother!"

While talking, Mrs. Shen beat Shen Mu angrily.

Seeing this, Wu Qiuniang hurried forward to block Shen Mu's fist with distress.

"Mother, don't be like this. Our family has a lot of expenses. Aji and Axuan need to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones to go to school. It's really embarrassing for us to spend ten taels of silver."

Shen Jintang was filled with anger a long time ago. Seeing Mrs. Shen punching her mother mercilessly, she couldn't help but rushed forward angrily, and grabbed Mrs. Shen's wrist.

"Grandma, aren't you too partial? It's your youngest son who did something immoral. You don't beat him? But you beat my parents. What's the reason?" Shen Jintang sneered.

Mrs. Shen didn't expect to be questioned like this by her granddaughter. The force grabbing her wrist was like an iron chain. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. What do you know? Let go of me now!"

Shen Mu sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, I'll just give you ten taels of silver."

As he said that, he signaled Wu Qiuniang to get it.

Wu Qiuniang hesitated for a moment, wiped her tears and said, "That's the travel expenses for you to take the provincial examination."

It's just these ten taels of silver, but it has been saved for many years.

She knew that her husband was interested in an official career, but the family didn't have the money to allow him to take the scientific examination. She finally saved the ten taels of silver to use as travel expenses for the provincial examination next year, but now...

Wu Qiuniang wiped her tears and took out the silver.

The two brothers Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan stood aside and watched, wanting to stop it, but they also knew that what their father had already made up their minds on was not something they could stop.

Therefore, he could only stare angrily at the culprit, Shen Song.

When Shen Song saw that sister-in-law took out the money, she was very excited, and screamed: "Sister-in-law, father and mother, give them the money quickly, my son is about to be beaten to death."

However, Shen Jintang stopped Wu Qiuniang. She looked at Shen Yukang and Mrs. Shen and said, "My parents have saved this money for many years to prepare for the travel expenses for the provincial examination. Just giving it to someone else is tantamount to cutting off his future."

Her eyes became colder inch by inch: "When the family was separated, you didn't share an acre of land with our family, and my father had to spend five hundred coins every month to honor you."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Shen Mu, and then at the ugly faces of Shen Yukang and his wife, and said, "These ten taels of silver were saved by our family for many years, and now you want to use it empty-handed." There is no door! Take out ten acres of land in exchange, and the money will be given to you, or let the second uncle be beaten to death by them! Anyway, his life is a waste of air."
