After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it
Chapter 16 The Southern Branch
Shen Nanzhi was still curious about how she could have such an elegant name. It seemed that the Lin family doted on their daughter very much. So that's why.
Lin Xueqing's face turned red with anger. "Aunt, there is no grudge between our two families. Why are you targeting me? Isn't Shen's name similar to mine? Is it wrong for me to want a nice name?"
Aunt Hu said, "That's different. Shen's name sounds like she is from our village. As a person, you have to know your identity. Don't be too ambitious. You have to have the fate you want."
Shen Nanzhi was curious. Her name shouldn’t be that rustic, right?
"Nanzhi'er means the branches in the south. It's so easy to remember. In fact, when Shen first married into our village, I thought she was pretty good. The Jiang family is a fool. They really don't know what's good for them."
Shen Nanzhi: "..."
So this is how she understood it.
Lin Xueqing was dissatisfied: "She is the daughter of a butcher and looks like this. Do you still say that the Jiang family is taking advantage?"
"What's wrong with her appearance? Isn't she just a little fatter and taller? She's a good worker. We farmers want her to be honest, capable of working and having children. If she's so pretty and attracts trouble, and we have to serve her like an ancestor, then she's a troublemaker."
Shen Nanzhi's soul was wandering in the sky, she just hoped that the person who was talking about her was not her.
Hunter Chen lowered his head and stayed away from Lin Xueqing. The quarrels among women were really scary, and he didn't want to get involved.
But when I secretly took a look at Shen Nanzhi, she didn't look that ugly.
Shen Nanzhi rolled her eyes and didn't want to say anything, but unfortunately her eyes were still small and she couldn't even roll her eyes, so people could only see the white of her eyeballs.
Lin Xueqing was dissatisfied: "Humph, she can't give birth to a child either. Aunt Hu has made a mistake."
Shen Nanzhi happily said, "Well, it would be bad if I gave birth to a child."
"why?"
Aunt Hu said enthusiastically: "Auntie knows a very good midwife who is very good at gynecology and can help you adjust.
Go back and pray to the Buddha for a child. You are still young, take your time."
Shen Nanzhi: "It's not my problem."
"Is that Jiang Si's problem? He is so weak, could it be that..."
Aunt Hu has a lot of imagination. With her eyes rolling around, she has come up with several versions, which she has a lot to tell her old sisters.
Lin Xueqing was unhappy: "Impossible, don't slander Brother Jiang, he is your husband, he will be the top scholar and an official in the future, you ruined his reputation, how can you be so cruel?"
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "You also know that he is my husband? Why are you so anxious? I won't hide it from you. Jiang Chen and I haven't consummated our marriage yet, so how can we have a child?
If she was really pregnant, Jiang Chen would be angry, but no, maybe he would be happy, because if I was wrong, he could divorce me and take my dowry with full justification. "
Aunt Hu was dumbfounded. "How can this be? Isn't this bullying? Shen, you have suffered so much. You have no one in your natal family, and the Jiang family treats you so badly. It's too much.
"Village chief, you have to take care of this. How can a couple not consummate their marriage after two years of marriage?"
The village chief's face turned even uglier. "Who can control what happens in other people's rooms? You should stop talking too much."
Hu Shuiyun blushed and felt very shy. She just looked at Shen Nanzhi with sympathy. No wonder she adopted several children since she was not liked by her husband.
Lin Xueqing's lips curled up. That's great. They didn't consummate their marriage?
Shen Nanzhi would never let the Jiang family suck the blood of the original owner and ruin his reputation everywhere.
How they eat the dowry, they will spit it out in the future.
Shen Nanzhi is not as stupid as the original owner, who was bullied by their family.
We walked and talked along the way, and surprisingly we went faster than expected, arriving at the county town in just one hour.
The tall city walls are indeed much more majestic than those in the village.
The door was not very wide, but it could accommodate four carriages at the same time.
The gatekeeper had a basket next to him with copper coins in it. The fee for entering the city was based on the number of people, three cents per person.
If there are many animals, you will also have to pay for the animals.
Shen Nanzhi threw down his three cents, followed by Chen the Hunter, but was harassed by the officers.
"These preys have to be priced. You are going to sell them for money, so you have to calculate according to the merchant and pay taxes. It must be at least 20 cents."
Hunter Chen was anxious: "I haven't sold it yet, I really don't have the money, how about this, can I make up for it when I leave the city?"
"No, who knows if you will escape if you leave the city?"
Hunter Chen didn't have that much money on him, and he was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
"What do you want to do? If you dare to do that, I'll put you in jail."
"No, I'm not. I don't."
Shen Nanzhi turned around, pulled one of the officers, and said, "Officer, don't be angry, this is my uncle, he can't speak, let's talk it out.
So, since uncle doesn't know the rules and didn't prepare anything, I'll secretly give you a pheasant and make a soup with it, okay?"
Shen Nanzhi winked at Hunter Chen and went to the corner, "Uncle Chen, they just want some benefits, are you willing to pay for this pheasant?
If you feel bad, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
"Okay, that's great, didn't I expect this?"
"Well, Uncle Chen, pick a smaller one. These officials want to take advantage of us and deliberately make things difficult for us, but there is nothing we can do. We ordinary people can only suffer a little loss."
"Hey, you're right, a chicken is nothing, you've helped me a lot."
"Little things."
Shen Nanzhi waved to the officer, and a chicken found a straw curtain to cover itself, "Officer, I'll put it over there, you can take it later."
"You are a very sensible woman. Let's go."
"Thank you, officer. This is my uncle Chen. Please take good care of him in the future."
"No problem. Let your uncle be more alert. It's not easy for us to guard the goal."
"Who says it's not true? You are the eyes of our county. We are counting on you to dig out the bandits and thieves and rid the people of them."
The police officer felt embarrassed and said, "Come in, I will take over the shift at the end of the afternoon."
"Okay, let's go."
Shen Nanzhi went into the city with Uncle Chen, and as a result, Hunter Chen trusted her more.
"I've been bullied a lot before when I went to the city, mostly because I sold the town. This time, it's all thanks to you."
"You're welcome. Uncle Chen, go ahead and do your work. I'll be taking a look around too. We'll meet at the city gate later."
"Well, you go."
Hunter Chen found a market to sell his prey, which was to set up a stall and wait for customers to buy. He sold his prey this way in the town. This time he hunted a roe deer and wanted to sell it for a high price, so he came to the county town to try his luck.
Let’s talk about Shen Nanzhi. He was wandering around aimlessly. The county town was still bustling after all. There were inns, restaurants, academies, brothels, silver shops, silk shops, grocery stores, etc. It was really full of shops and very lively.
Most of these shops were built around the county government office and on both sides of the moat. They were quaint and ancient, and Shen Nanzhi felt like he was walking in a historical scroll.
