Allure of a Country Maiden

"Then why is the rabbit missing?" Jing Hao said dissatisfied.

"Rabbit? Zhi'er took the rabbit to play with. He will take it back later." After saying that, he shouted into the room: "Zhi'er, please take the rabbit out and return it to your third uncle's house. You kid, you can take care of it alone." Why are you playing with rabbits! See if I don't deal with you!" Shen Chengzong feigned anger.

"But when I asked my second aunt just now, she said that my second cousin went up to the mountain to catch the pheasants and hares this morning." Xiaoer kept chasing after them.

"I didn't make it clear to your second uncle when I gave the pheasant to her. It happened that Hua'er went up to the mountain to play in the morning, and she misunderstood." Shen Chengzong also reacted quickly.

"You girl, why are you always biting people? Your parents didn't say anything. You, a girl who hasn't left the court, can't stay in the house properly. You mess around with adults all day long. You don't know what you think. You are the head of the family, and you run all over the mountains and wild places all day long. I wonder who would dare to want you when you grow up." Seeing that things were going well, Mrs. Li started to get upset again.

Both Shen Chengyao and Mr. Liu were cub protectors, and they were not happy after hearing this. Shen Chengyao felt that he deserved the child's anger at him just now, considering who he was helping: "My family is Xiaoer's head, so what? Several of my children have gone to the mountains to collect herbs and caught pheasants and rabbits to sell at a young age. They already know how to help support the family, so why can't they be the masters of the family!"

Ms. Liu was still very concerned about what happened last time: "Second sister-in-law, don't you feel sorry for my Xiao'er? You planned to sell her last time, and now you're burying her. Why are you so cruel?"

Xiao'er felt complete. It felt so good to be protected by her parents.

"How can I not!" After hearing this, Mrs. Li's face turned dark, but she did not dare to say anything more.

At this time, Shen Jingzhi also grabbed the hare from the kitchen. Jing Hao just stepped forward and reached out to take it. Unexpectedly, Shen Jingzhi suddenly threw the rabbit to the ground hard, "I want the rabbit, right? Go pick it up!"

The rabbit was beaten to a bloody head and lay on the ground, twitching a few times and then died.

"Wow..." Jing Hao burst into tears immediately, out of fear and heartache.

Others were also stunned by this scene, and some timid women were so frightened that they screamed. The little sister in Liu's arms was also frightened by these screams and cried.

Shen Chengyao was very angry. He took a big step over and held Jing Hao in his arms to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, dad is here." Jing Hao lay tightly on Shen Chengyao and cried, and Shen Chengyao gently patted his back to comfort him. .

No matter how sensible and precocious Jing Hao is, he is still a five-year-old child. The scene just now clearly frightened him. Xiaoer and Jingrui also went over to comfort him.

"Zhi'er, what are you doing! You are so cruel and unethical!" Mr. Shen was furious. The second son of the family, Zhi'er, could be so cruel at a young age. He was really raised crooked by Mrs. Li. He couldn't help but feel glad that the family had been separated, otherwise it would affect his eldest grandson's reputation, and he might even cause trouble for him in the future.

Shen Chengzong laughed twice: "Zhi'er, why don't you hold the hare firmly and let it fall."

After hearing this, many people in the crowd shook their heads. With a father like this, he can educate his children well. It seems that he cannot let his children play with the children of Shen Chengzong's family in the future, lest they learn wrongly or get injured. .

Look at Shen Jingzhi again, with a successful smile on his face, but there is no hint of knowing his mistake.

"Third brother, this rabbit will be killed sooner or later anyway, so it's easier to die now. Haha, right?"

"The rabbits and pheasants we just agreed to raise last night. Second brother, you have to discipline Zhi'er well, for being so cruel at such a young age."

"Children are not sensible, they just don't have a good grip, and boys have to be a little angry." Others were speechless. It turned out that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.

Shen Chengyao wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Liu tugged at his clothes. He turned his head and looked at Mrs. Liu, who shook his head gently. Shen Chengyao sighed softly. Neither his parents felt wrong, so they had nothing to teach their children.

"Second uncle, now the pheasant is stewed in soup, and the fourth cousin of the hare has fallen to death. In this case, you will directly compensate my family 100 Wen, and we will sell it to your family."

"You won't rob me of one hundred coins? Robber!" Ms. Li screamed.

"These pheasants and hares are all alive and kicking. The dead wild animals sold in the town are also priced at the same price. I consider them a bargain."

"Girl Xiao'er is right. Such a good rabbit can be sold for 100 Wen in the town. The ladies from the rich families in the town like to raise it." Lin Dashu, a person in the village who has a good relationship with Shen Chengyao, said that he has no farmland at home. , he and his brother Lin Dashi relied on hunting in the mountains to make a living. He also taught Shen Chengyao archery.

The village chief also said: "Ms. Li, just pay a hundred cents to the third child's family. You have gone too far. You must also discipline your children in the future. You have to be so unloving at a young age!" He wanted to say. It was cruel, but after thinking that he was just a child, he changed his mind.

"I also have to pay for my one tael of silver." Shen Zhuang said quickly.

"Mom, we didn't take your money!" the couple said in unison.

"Anyway, I've lost a tael of silver. Except for you, a prodigal mother-in-law, no one in our family has a third hand. Everyone in our family is more upright than the other. If you didn't take it, whoever took it should compensate me quickly. Don't talk so much nonsense. .”

Shen Chengzong also understood that this was because his mother took advantage of the opportunity and was too lazy to take advantage of her.

Mrs. Li was really aggrieved, she was like June Feixue: "Mom, don't you understand me yet? I married into the Shen family for many years, that's the kind of person you are!"

"That's the kind of person I know you are." Shen Zhuang said seriously.

Li:……

A few people in the crowd laughed unkindly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Shen glared at Mrs. Shen Zhuang. How could any mother-in-law look down on her daughter-in-law so much in front of outsiders?

In fact, Shen Chengzong is quite similar to Shen Zhuang in some aspects. Xiaoer is very lucky that Shen Chengyao has not inherited any of these good genes.

"There's no nonsense, just pay me a tael of silver." Shen Zhuang didn't care. Recently, she lost dozens of taels for nothing and was so heartbroken that she had insomnia every night. She had to get some interest back first.

How could Li pay one or two? She had never taken it. Normally, she could just pretend that she had not taken it. Now she felt more confident that she had not taken it. So she acted like Li and started to sit directly on the ground with her hands. Da Di: "Oh my god, oh my god, this is like June Feishuang. It's so cruel and inhumane. It's lawless. It's corrupt and perverts the law. It's too deceiving. I've been married for many years and have worked hard, but in the end I'm still being wronged. This You want to force me to death."

Xiaoer was made to laugh by Li's random use of idioms.

Shen Chengyao looked at the sky speechlessly. Fortunately, Mr. Liu never did this.

Villagers: I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.

"Shut up, it's so embarrassing!" Mr. Shen's face couldn't be any more stinky.

The village chief couldn't stand it any longer: "Ms. Li, just pay your mother one tael of silver and the third family's one hundred cents, and forget about it."

The village chief also guessed that Mrs. Li did not take the one tael of silver, but Ms. Li's temper was such that she needed to be taught a lesson, so he would not be fined with some money to make her remember better.

"Village chief, we really didn't get the money!" Shen Chengzong couldn't help but screamed injustice after hearing this.

"Okay, the matter is settled like this. Maybe one of your children took the one tael of silver and forgot to tell you, or you forgot for a while. It's okay. I'll pay it to your mother first. When you think of it, you can alright."

"Pfft...hahaha" someone in the crowd burst into laughter again.

"Okay, why don't you laugh and go back? Are the grains for tax payment ready? They will be handed in in two days. And remember to do a good job of warehousing the grains. It looks like it's going to rain again. By then It's moldy and you don't have food to eat, so don't cry to me." The village chief waved his hands to drive away the villagers, and then said to Shen Chengzong: "Hurry up and get the money."

Shen Chengzong had no choice but to take out one or two hundred yuan as compensation. The village chief left when he saw that the matter was settled. There were also distinguished guests at his home.

Dear friends, there are some minor changes in Chapter 28. The price of selling nine pounds and three taels of chestnuts to the uncle was calculated incorrectly. It was calculated based on the ancient calculation of half a catty and eight taels, and a few figures have been slightly changed.

In addition, I would like to thank my friends who recommended and collected this book. I will continue to ask for recommendations, collections, and long reviews... I ask for everything I can ask for...
