She was about to say something else, but Shen Miaozhu stopped her with her eyes, "We didn't jump over the wall of his house." Only the junior sister flew in and out.
In fact, if the other party was not Xia Zhu, she would have simply told him the truth to gain his forgiveness, but the other party clearly wanted money, and sorry, she didn't have any.
But Xia Zhu didn't think so. He and his wife were so envious when they saw a truckload of Dongfeng boxes being taken away and sold at the foot of the mountain.
Then everyone said that they saw the two sisters jump over the wall with their own eyes.
The village head asked, "What are they doing jumping over the wall? What's in your backyard?"
Not to mention livestock, you don't even have much firewood in your backyard. If you don't store firewood, how can you survive the winter?"
"Anyway, it was those two who jumped, so they should pay compensation." As soon as Xia Zhujia said this, everyone laughed.
"They are outside the wall."
"What you two say is not reliable. We need witnesses."
"Xia Zhu, are you planning to extort a few taels of silver?" Many of the onlookers were smart enough to guess what he was thinking.
Shen Lingzhu then said: "If you really think that the place where your hand was pressed is damaged, then ask someone to repair it.
My second sister and I paid for the labor and materials.
But you also have to pay for the medical expenses for my second sister’s injury caused by your daughter-in-law.”
She lifted up her senior sister's sleeve, revealing a circle of hand that had been pinched to a bluish color.
Xia Zhujia was shocked. She just held the person tightly and didn't let him leave, so why did he turn blue?
She didn't realize how hard she had clamped down on Shen Miaozhu in her excitement.
If they were not from the same village, Shen Lingzhu would have bitten her hand, and Shen Miaozhu's silver needle would have pierced her.
"Ah! Xia Zhujia, you're too harsh."
"I……"
"Forget it, let's all take a step back."
"If a piece of dirt falls off a broken wall in your house, someone will injure a hand."
"Nonsense, I have witnesses who saw them jumping over the wall." Xia Zhujia immediately gave Shen Jianxuan's name and said that he was pushed down in his backyard by the two men.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They didn't completely believe it, but the last time, the two sisters in front of them had beaten Jian Xuan severely.
It is not necessarily true that they had a quarrel and pushed someone into Xia Zhu's house.
Second Grandpa frowned when he heard this, and after discussing with the head of the village, he said, "Let's go to my third brother's house to look for someone. Everyone else should go away."
Everyone wanted to go and watch the fun, but the headman glared back at them.
After Shen Lingzhu stepped into Third Grandpa's house again, he insisted on not entering the house.
She didn't see Shen Jianyi, and the only grandmother at home also said that her grandson had not yet finished school.
Xia Zhujia exposed Shen Jianxuan's lies as soon as she opened her mouth. The old lady was stunned on the spot, "Where is Xuan'er?"
Who knew that? Second Grandpa asked Xia Zhu and his wife to go home first and wait until they found Jian Xuan.
But they were unwilling to do so. They just wanted the Shen family to pay compensation for repairing the wall, and it wasn't much, just two taels.
The village head was annoyed by what he said. He was an old and cunning man, and the two girls felt a little guilty for not refuting him much.
But Xia Zhu was too greedy. Even if the two children jumped on the wall, there would be no damage except some dirt falling off. If he asked for a few coins, the Shen family might give it to him.
"Okay, let them repair the part with the footprints, and you pay them for the medical treatment and the medicine.
Each of you should bring two taels of silver to exchange." As soon as he made the decision, Master Shen came running in from outside.
She just heard the news: "Is Miaozhu seriously injured?"
"Not bad." Shen Miaozhu was held by her hand for inspection.
I had no choice but to say to my junior sister: "Xiao Zhuzi, go home and get some silver for them."
Xia Zhu and his wife were delighted, but when the village head told them to go back and get the money, their faces immediately fell.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want it anymore." Xia Zhujia took a breath.
Shen Lingzhu said: "It's not forgetting it, but canceling each other out."
"Whatever you say." Before leaving, Xia Zhujia told Third Grandma that Brother Xuan was beaten black and blue by the two sisters.
Grandma San understood this obvious provocation, so she left the group behind and ran to find her grandson.
Master Shen waited for the village head to take the two Xia family members away, then stared at them and asked, "Did you have a fight with Xuan Ge'er?"
"I hit him." Shen Lingzhu didn't want to hide it, and Shen Miaozhu explained the whole story.
Second Grandpa raised his finger and pointed at her: "Why don't you go to heaven when the fight goes to someone else's house?"
Master Shen: "Second Uncle, it's not her..."
Second Grandfather: "Didn't she jump in? Xia Zhu and his wife didn't wrongly accuse her."
Master Shen: "So, should we compensate them now?"
"We've argued for so long, but what's the point of compensation? It's a waste of time." Shen Man opened the window and looked out without knowing when.
"..." Second Grandpa turned around and left angrily, "I can't do anything about it. Someone else will."
The person in charge was naturally Mrs. Hu. She brought the two of them to Xia Zhu's house and gave him five hundred coins to express her apology.
Not to mention that the couple was extremely happy to get a few strings of money for free, just the fact that Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister were punished to copy big characters made the former extremely worried.
The reason was simple: the senior sister wanted to prepare a few dishes for the teacher to taste, so she was the only one left in the hall, writing under the watchful eye of her aunt.
Some traditional Chinese characters look so complicated that I don’t know where to start writing them.
So when she finished writing a big character, Hu saw that many places were blank.
So he consulted Shen Huai: "Xiao Zhuzi used to be too playful and fell behind in schoolwork.
I don't think she can concentrate if I teach her alone at home. What do you think of sending her to Nineteen to study with the other sisters in the tribe?"
"Good idea." Shen Huai's decision was a bolt from the blue for Shen Lingzhu.
No matter how many reasons she made, her uncle and aunt would not change their decision.
Therefore, I could only take advantage of the time when the Master went to Zhending to have fun on my own mountain.
I did learn how to identify a lot of medicinal herbs from my senior sister.
Shen Miaozhu asked her to go to the Seven Stars Temple with her to learn more, but she was unwilling and said, "I don't have that talent.
Senior Sister, I've reflected on how I've lost my ambition under your protection."
"So don't follow me?"
"Well, I have to find something to do. I just heard Aunt Jiu say that I should pickle more beans now so that I don't have any vegetables to eat in the winter.
I was thinking about building a greenhouse like my parents and growing some chives and bok choy."
“Housing is too expensive, and you don’t compost.”
“Except for composting, which is done by others, I am good at growing vegetables.
A large greenhouse is definitely expensive, but it’s not too difficult to build a small one. It’s a good opportunity to build it now while the kang is still being built.
In addition, after a few days, you can cut peach branches from Qixingguan and make cuttings. It is best to keep them in a greenhouse for a few days.
Hey, I’ve been watching peach trees being planted since I was a kid.”
"Okay, I support you. I've seen old-style greenhouses before. I'll draw a picture for you to compare."
Shen Lingzhu did what she said. After discussing with her aunt and getting her approval, she led her elder brother to dig the foundation beside the vegetable garden outside the gate every day.
Uncle Xia and his wife, who had received the task of weaving straw mats from her, also came to help dig when they were free.
Ten days later, when Master Shen, Xia Xing and others returned from various places in Zhending Prefecture, her small greenhouse had been completed.
But when her aunt was about to send her to school, the teacher said, “Don’t worry, I’ve found that the bellows sold very quickly after they were made in the local area.
Time waits for no one, so it's best to take advantage of this opportunity to visit Hejian, Dingzhou and other prefectures."
"Master, great minds think alike." Shen Lingzhu lamented that the master should not just teach.
