“Did Sister Eight teach you the recipe?

If so, I need her consent before I can help sell it." She had heard from her fifth sister-in-law that Miaozhu made the pickles herself, but Shen Shijiu needed to know the recipe.

After a pause, she continued, "You didn't sell it in the capital, did you?"

Shen Lingzhu shook her head and said, "No, no, I can't cook either, my second sister figured it out and made it herself.

Sometimes when my parents are not at home, she would prepare some delicious food for me."

The boiled fish fillets made by my senior sister are fresh and tender. Although there is no chili pepper, there is dogwood instead.

She glanced for her senior sister's approval and then briefly described it: "There's pork made with sweet and sour meat that tastes like cherries and lotus seeds, and there's also chicken and river shrimp stir-fried together. My second sister calls it chicken pecking rice. It's delicious."

"Alas... your two parents are not..." Shen Shijiu didn't say these unreliable words in front of them after all.

She listened to Shen Lingzhu's lively talk, but she was very dissatisfied with the fact that the mynah couple often left their children behind to go out for travel. Look at the two children, they don't seem to miss them at all.

Shen Miaozhu made an invitation at the right time: "Why don't you and Grandma come to my house at noon to try my cooking.

If someone is willing to buy it, selling it for a few taels of silver will also be a profit."

"That's fine." Shen Shijiu couldn't just listen to the two of them, he also had to meet with his fifth brother.

The two sisters invited everyone and left satisfied.

Shen Lingzhu was heading towards the riverside clan school, but was pulled away by Shen Miaozhu: "It's best for big brother to invite Mr. Xia."

"It's so troublesome. I can't get anything done in one trip." She turned around helplessly, and as soon as she took a step, a stone flew towards her leg.

Shen Lingzhu reacted very quickly and jumped away. Then she looked around and saw no one. "Second sister, have you found out who it is?"

She asked loudly and angrily, but her feet moved quickly towards the low wall that Shen Miaozhu pointed to.

Shen Jianxuan, who was standing under the wall, was covering his mouth and laughing as he backed away, when unexpectedly a piece of dirt fell from above and hit him on the head.

As he turned his head, he saw Shen Lingzhu climbing over the wall and immediately turned and ran.

But the little girl was very agile. She chased him and knocked him over in a few seconds, twisting his hands behind his back. Her fists fell like raindrops. He wanted to fight back but was suppressed.

"Shen Jianxuan, you are really capable. You secretly used a slingshot to shoot me." And it was the same batch that she and her senior sister made.

Shen Jianxuan was in the wrong but didn't yell. He just gritted his teeth and said, "Let go. I was shooting birds. Who told you to just happen to pass by?"

Shen Lingzhu didn't care about his excuses and kept pounding until the senior sister said from outside the wall: "That's enough, we'll beat him again next time we see each other.

You are in someone else's family now, and if someone sees you, it will be bad."

Shen Jianxuan, who was let go, thought he had misheard and lay on the ground glaring at her.

"Hmph! You're lucky." Shen Lingzhu pressed his hand on the wall and jumped over it in an instant.

She turned around and heard someone behind her scream: "There's a thief!"

"Don't panic, Auntie. It's us." Shen Miaozhu tried to comfort the other person. She didn't quite remember who this person was. Fortunately, the other person didn't see when her junior sister jumped out.

The woman saw that it was the two of them and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw another person lying on the ground: "Who is he?

After seeing who it was, she rolled her eyes and said, "No, why did you brothers and sisters jump into my backyard? Go and ask the head of the village for justice."

"Yes, ask the village head to judge the case. Aunt Zhuzi testified for me that they were the ones who pushed me in." Shen Jianxuan slowly stood up and stretched out his hand, saying, "Look, you have injuries all over your body."

The woman clicked her tongue twice, then quickly chased over and grabbed Shen Miaozhu's sleeve through the wall: "You broke my wall, you have to pay for it.

Boss, come quickly, the Shen family’s kid is bullying us.

Last time I wrongly accused you of being beaten by the village head, and this time you jumped over the wall. Come and see, everyone, Chi Er’s daughter kicked the wall of my house and broke it.”

"Aunt, please let go first." Shen Lingzhu was not sure if the other party saw her when she jumped out, so she had to pull the other party's hand that was holding her senior sister away.

But the woman's hands were like iron clamps, and Shen Miaozhu couldn't get rid of them, and Shen Lingzhu couldn't pull them away either.

While the three of them were struggling across the wall, Shen Jianxuan quietly escaped from a corner with a gap in the wall.

"Shen Jianxuan, come back!" Shen Lingzhu saw it but didn't chase after him. Some nearby villagers were already running towards this side.

And in the woman's house, there clearly appeared another Xia Zhu whom she knew.

The latter glanced at the people who had been arguing for a while and asked, "Why did the two Miss Shens break the wall of my house?"

Xia Zhu's words put a huge pot on the two of them. Seeing the neighbor running over, his eyes flashed with excitement: "The head of the village also punished me for the previous incident, and you still won't give in."

"Xia Zhu's family, where is the thief?"

"The wall in your house is as good as nothing. It's not even as high as my waist."

"Xia Zhu, eh, the two girls from the Shen family?"

"Yes, they broke my wall and they must compensate me." The woman, who was from Xia Zhu's family, didn't even mention Shen Xuanzhu who ran away.

Shen Lingzhu knew who she was at this moment and was determined not to let her go: "Let go first."

"No." Xia Zhu's family would not miss this opportunity. Finally, the wall of her house could be built higher.

"Xiao Zhuzi, call the head of the village and see how we two kids can destroy his wall." Shen Miaozhu asked her junior sister to leave quickly.

Seeing more people coming, Shen Lingzhu was even less likely to leave. She glanced at the crowd and found that most of them were from other families.

Fortunately, there was no one with the surname Shen or Xia.

She didn't know that Xia Zhu didn't live in the Xia family gathering place, but instead lived in an area where there were many families with different surnames.

"Everyone, can someone please help call the head of the village and the fifth master?" Xia Zhu was eager for the two to come quickly so that they could discuss the compensation.

You know what, there are actually people who are eager to find Xia Lichang.

Shen Miaozhu sighed softly: "Little Zhuzi, stop pulling, you can't pull it anymore.

If you two keep pulling for a while, I'll be the one who gets hurt."

Shen Lingzhu reluctantly let go after hearing this. She looked at the woman and said, "Aunt, we won't leave, but you have to let my second sister go first."

"Don't let him go, he will run away if you let him go." Xia Zhujia couldn't stop him, so he let Shen Jianxuan go.

Amidst the discussions among the people around, Shen Lingzhu finally saw the village head and his second grandfather.

She regretted not jumping over the wall and leaving immediately, or throwing Shen Jianxuan out of the wall at the beginning.

"Let go!" Village Chief Xia shouted loudly. Seeing Xia Zhu still looking over his shoulder, he glanced around and pointed to two women who were watching. "Come up and pull them apart."

"No, no, no." Xia Zhu quickly asked his wife to let go and pointed to the top of the wall and said, "Look, uncle, it was those two who broke my wall."

Seeing him pointing to the gap again, Second Grandfather Shen Dexian said, "It split open on its own more than a month ago, when the big and small bamboos were still in the capital.

As for the top of the wall…” He stood closer and looked at it, and said, “It’s just that some dirt fell off because it was stepped on a few times.

Everyone can come and see what's going on here. How can these two girls jump around like that?"

In less than a moment, everyone had seen and concluded that there were places on the wall where people had stepped on them, and that the two girls' feet were of different sizes.

Shen Lingzhu was lucky that he used the hurdle jumping skills to fly over the wall. As for the many handprints on the wall, they were not just his.
