The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien
Chapter 43: Water Splash Vanishing Technique
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Shen Mingzi's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.
She would not allow the Shen family to change. The gears of fate still had to move as described in the novel. She was the heroine in the novel, and the cannon fodders of the Shen family could only take the blame for her.
By the way, the time to rescue the prince of Fenyang Marquis’ Mansion is not far away. During this period, she must stop the Shen family, not let the Shen family escape from her control, and not let the Shen family disrupt her plan of becoming the marquis’ wife.
When Old Lady Shen saw the eldest wife coming back, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she complained to Old Man Shen: "The eldest wife is looking for trouble as soon as she comes back. It's so annoying. Old man, when can we successfully divide the family property?"
Old man Shen took two puffs of his pipe and did not answer, but he was thinking in his heart that he had never felt that the first wife was a bad person before, but after the old woman's reminder during this period of time, he realized what the first wife had been thinking over the years.
He was able to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, so he was not a stupid person at all. He had not realized it before because the first wife was his eldest son and grandson, and most of the family property should be inherited by the eldest son and grandson. He thought it made no difference whether he gave it to him early or late.
They have just discovered these days that the eldest wife's family not only wants their property, but is also sucking their blood. Why should they still love such unfilial people?
Thinking of this, Old Man Shen tapped his cigarette butt on the threshold and said, "As long as they make excessive demands, we will separate."
"How do we divide it? Which house will we live with from now on?"
"We old couple live on our own."
The old couple was discussing something when Shen Mingkuan and Li and others came over. As soon as Shen Mingkuan came, he started complaining that the Shen family had money to build a yard and raise livestock, but did not give him money to take the imperial examinations. Didn't this ruin his future?
When he said this, he kept looking at Old Man Shen. Every time he used this excuse to get money in the past, Old Man Shen always supported him strongly. But this time, he didn't move at all. He felt a pang in his heart and felt that something was different at home.
Seeing that the two old men were indifferent, Li picked up her handkerchief and pretended to wipe her tears, crying about the difficulties she had experienced over the years and the difficulties she faced now. She pretended to be pitiful and asked the two elders to help them and the children.
Shen Mingzi saw that no matter how his elder brother and mother pleaded, the two old guys did not move at all and did not express their opinions, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
Why haven't these two old guys died yet? Didn't you see that mother was crying and eldest brother was about to kneel down? If these two old guys died, the second and third wives would not be able to escape from their hands.
It seems that we can't keep these two old guys here for too long.
Old Mrs. Shen watched the performance of the two people from the eldest house and her eyes fell on Shen Mingzi. The ten-year-old Shen Mingzi was wearing a brand new fine cotton flowered dress, a pink head flower on her head, a pair of silver earrings on her ears, two silver bracelets on her fair wrists, and a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet.
With the way she is dressed, she doesn’t look like a peasant girl at all. If you don’t know her, you would think she is the daughter of a big landlord!
All the children from farm families wore patched coarse linen clothes. Not to mention the farmers, even the children from small landlords had patches on their clothes. Shen Mingzhu's clothes were also covered with patches.
The eldest wife's daughter, however, was dressed gorgeously and lived an upper-class life, but now she was crying poor in front of them and sucking their blood.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Shen lost her composure. Just as she was about to start scolding, she saw a flash of viciousness in Shen Mingzi's eyes.
Old Mrs. Shen touched her chin, suspecting that something was wrong with this Shen Mingzi. She was different from the arrogant and aggressive Shen Mingzi in her memory.
Could it be that this Shen Mingzi is also a time traveler?
Old Mrs. Shen had some doubts in her heart. She quietly nudged Old Man Shen with her elbow and said, "Old man, say something."
Shen Mingzi quickly raised her head, pretending to be well-behaved, and walked forward with a smile and said, "Grandma, I'm back to see you, why are you unhappy?"
Old Lady Shen moved her body to avoid Shen Mingzi's pull, so that Shen Mingzi's outstretched hand fell empty, and then she said:
"Alright, alright, we're not dead yet! Why are you crying here?"
Ignoring the astonished people, she picked up the wooden basin on the ground and walked towards the river.
Shen Mingzhu wanted to eat fish today, so she went down the mountain to the river. Seeing her grandmother bending over and beating her clothes with a stick, she hurried forward and said, "Grandma, let me help you."
When Old Lady Shen saw Mingzhu snatch the stick away, she stood up, stretched, rubbed her aching arm, and said:
"Zhuzhu is still the best. She knows how to care for you."
Shen Mingzhu beat her clothes and asked, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
"It's still the people from the first house. Li came back with Shen Mingkuan's family and Shen Mingzi."
"You don't know that Shen Mingkuan's wife deliberately asked your second aunt to cook for them when she first came home, even though she was still pregnant. Shen Mingkuan complained that his family used the money to build a yard and raise livestock but didn't give him money to take the imperial examinations. And that Shen Mingzi was different from the Shen Mingzi I remembered."
"Shen Mingzi's unpredictable expression is not what a ten-year-old girl should have. I suspect she has either traveled through time or been reborn."
After hearing what her grandmother said, Shen Mingzhu also began to doubt Shen Mingzi. She told Grandma Shen not to offend Shen Mingzi too much, not to give the first wife money, and to wait and see what happens.
Seeing that Old Lady Shen was in a much better mood, Shen Mingzhu looked at the fishes flowing in the river, swallowed her saliva and said, "Grandma, look, I'll show you a water splash disappearing trick."
Before Old Lady Shen could react, Shen Mingzhu dived into the river, scaring Old Lady Shen so much that she yelled, "Zhuzhu, what are you doing? It's dangerous in the river, get out quickly."
Shen Mingzhu surfaced and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't forget that I am the diving and swimming champion of the school. The water here is very calm, there is nothing wrong with it."
Old Lady Shen put her hands on her hips and said, "Why are you so naughty, kid? Don't you know you can't swim in the wild? How many people drown in this river every year? My family drowned in this river."
Old Mrs. Shen realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered her mouth, looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she gently stroked her chest.
Feeling the coolness of the river water and being surrounded by fish in the water, Shen Mingzhu found her feet itchy. There were no fishermen here and people did not know how to fish, which led to an influx of wild fish in the river. The fish were not afraid of people and all surrounded her.
She smiled and shouted, "Grandma, come down quickly, the river water is so cool! The water here is not deep, it's perfect for swimming."
When old lady Shen saw her granddaughter swimming happily in the river, she realized that the water was only about 1.5 meters deep. She felt itchy and wanted to go swimming in the river too.
She is a good swimmer and she often swam in the Yangtze River in her previous life. This little bit of water can't hurt her at all.
Thinking of this, she stretched her body and dived into the water.
