Spring scenery in the fields

"Go back. Liu Erfang is slandering people and bullying the honest Rongshan family. He is here to extort money on purpose. Let's all go back."

Everyone walked down the mountain, whispering to each other.

"This Rongshan family is a powerful person. How come I didn't see it before?"

"She doesn't usually come down the mountain, and she hasn't spoken to anyone in our village. She looks so honest, I never thought she was so powerful."

"Tsk, this girl is too fierce. I'm afraid Shen Rongshan will have a hard time in the future."

"..."

There were two people standing under a big tree on the western hilltop. They were Shen Yuanshan and Shen Rongshan.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is really amazing. Look, she scared people away in an instant. Aunt Liu will definitely not dare to come to our house to cause trouble for us in the future."

Her sister-in-law is really amazing.

"Come on, go home."

When he heard him say something happened at home, he hurried down and saw her holding a sickle and saying something to protect her.

I used to think she was gentle and worried that she would be bullied, but after seeing this scene, I feel a little relieved.

"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome." Shen Wenshan followed behind her, his eyes full of admiration.

"It's not that I'm great, it's that you have to be more ruthless than this kind of person. People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong, and those who are too ruthless are afraid of those who don't care about their lives."

"I was just pretending, I didn't really want to kill her. Killing people is against the law, we can't do it."

Ji Wenhe put down his sickle and sat down on the small stool.

Shen Yuanshan's voice was heard outside the house: "Sister-in-law, my brother and I are back."

"Hey, go to the kitchen and clean up for dinner, otherwise the food will get cold soon."

He replied: “Okay, got it.”

Shen Rongshan's tall figure walked into the door, blocking most of the light, and his eyes fell on the person who lowered his head.

Just when I was about to praise her, I saw her body trembling slightly and her hands were clasped together and clenched tightly.

His eyes flashed, he quickly closed the door, walked over to her and squatted down: "Wen He, what's wrong with you? You feel uncomfortable somewhere."

Ji Wenhe shook his head, his body shaking uncontrollably: "It's okay, Brother Shen, I just... I haven't been that excited in a long time."

She was not the type to quarrel with others, and in her previous life she had hardly ever had a quarrel with anyone around her. The most emotional moment for her was when her parents and grandmother passed away.

Shen Rongshan immediately understood that although she was so brave just now, she was actually afraid in her heart.

"Don't be afraid. I should have stepped forward to stop him instead of just standing there and watching. It's my fault."

Seeing that she could protect herself, he stopped and wanted her to solve it herself because he couldn't stay by her side to protect her all the time.

Her tone was gentle and distressed: "Wen He, it's my fault. Don't be afraid. I won't let you face it alone again."

He held her hands, looked at her intently in the darkness, and spoke softly to comfort her.

Ji Wenhe felt the warmth from the big hand and slowly calmed down: "Brother Shen, I can't always rely on you. There are some things I have to face alone, so that I can grow up."

"Just like today, if you come out to protect me, she will be afraid of you, not me, and will come to trouble me in the future when you are not at home."

"Brother Shen, I don't blame you. Don't take it to heart. I'm much better now."

Outside the house, Shen Yuanshan wondered why the door was closed. He was about to knock on the door to call them to eat, but when he heard the conversation inside the house, he retracted his hand.

The meal was already on the table. Shen Wenshan looked at him in confusion: "Why don't you invite your elder brother and sister-in-law to come for dinner?"

"They are talking in the house. Wait a moment."

He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Brother, we should be the ones protecting my sister-in-law today, but instead, my sister-in-law is the one protecting us."

"Aunt Liu is a good fighter. If she really hits my sister-in-law, and she doesn't have the strength to fight back, she must be scared."

Their sister-in-law is thin and weaker than them, so she doesn't have any strength at all.

"Yeah." Shen Wenshan pursed his lips for a while, then clenched his fists, "If anyone dares to bully our family again in the future, I will fight them to the death."

"Who are you going to fight with?" Ji Wenhe walked into the kitchen with a smile.

They said in unison: "Sister-in-law, brother."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "Let's eat."

She took a piece of wild vegetable cake and took a bite: "Aunt Liu is here today, you are men, you can't hit her."

"If you hit her, she'll tell the villagers that you're good at beating women."

This is more serious than the rumor that they have an older brother who likes to beat people. Who would want to find a husband who likes to beat people? I'm not a masochist.

"I'm different. We're all women. I can't say anything if I hit someone."

"Think about it, when there were fights in the village before, men never took part and just watched from the sidelines."

The twins nodded obediently.

"Mom told us that men should not hit women. It will give them a bad reputation and they will not be able to find a wife in the future."

"Right." Ji Wenhe took a sip of porridge. "So it's right for you not to take action today. It also allows me to establish my authority and let the villagers know that I am not someone to be trifled with."

Shen Rongshan looked at her with a gentle look, "It would be unpleasant to hear the villagers spread the news, so don't get angry if you hear it."

"I'm not angry. It's not worth it to ruin my health."

Just spread it, it’s better to scare people and make them dare not come to her house.

Thinking of the frightened expressions of Lan Qiuhua and Shen Suya, he said distressedly: "Will Aunt Lan and Xiaoya be afraid of me and dare not look for me in the future?"

Although she was just pretending, they didn't know that they were obviously afraid of her in their eyes.

"No, you're not facing them, they won't be afraid of you."

Well, she believed him.

Lan Qiuhua's home.

A family of four sat around a small table and ate.

Shen Suya described to them what she saw today: "Dad, big brother, you were not there at the time, so you didn't see my sister-in-law chasing her with a sickle."

"She was so scared that she hid and shouted for help, but no one stepped forward to stop her. If my sister-in-law hadn't run slowly, the sickle would have really hit her."

How could she know that Ji Wenhe was deliberately running slowly, half on purpose and half because he was really too weak.

Shen Erniu was shocked: "The Rongshan family is so cruel, chasing people with sickles."

"Be more ruthless. Didn't you see that Liu Erfang was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word and hurriedly ran out of the village. How could he dare to stay any longer?"

Lan Qiuhua repeated to them everything she said word for word.

"Wen He has a soft personality, which is good. The villagers don't dare to bully her casually. If those people listen to her, those with ulterior motives will probably be in trouble."

Then he looked at Shen Suya opposite him.

"When you marry into your husband's family in the future, be tough and don't let your mother-in-law bully you. Learn from your sister-in-law, but don't really use a knife."

"Mom, it's still early. Let's not talk about this. We have to go to the market the day after tomorrow. I still have a few strings to make. Can you help me make them?"
