Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Shen Xianzhu could see what they were planning to do, so he stopped them in advance: "Let me make it clear first, I won't accompany you two to Dahuangzhuang.

And without Second Aunt around, it's simply impossible for you two to take the dowry away."

"Grandpa still loves his granddaughters very much." Shen Miaozhu had an impression of this. The old man often gave things to the two girls, and chose the food and toys that he thought were the best.

Shen Xianzhu: "It's impossible for Second Aunt to give you twenty acres of land.

In the words of Huang’s grandfather, that was a place for his daughter to live on, and no one else was allowed to get their hands on it.

I remember one time when the Huang family wanted to rent the property at a low price, your grandfather chased them out of the street with a butcher knife."

After a pause, he continued, "However, if he knows that you two are back, he will definitely send you food without you having to go and see him."

But he didn't know at the moment that Shen Lingzhu and her sister's grandparents were not at home at all.

The two sisters' plan ended before it even began.

After finally preparing this late breakfast, it was surrounded by children who were having break.

There were a few girls who looked similar to Shen Lingzhu, and they came together to ask her when she would have classes with the teacher again.

She didn't want to do it at any time and politely declined everyone's offer to teach her the latest embroidery stitches she had learned.

Are you kidding? Making her sit in front of the embroidery frame with an embroidery needle for half a day without moving is more painful than killing her.

She still likes to do some big jobs, such as cleaning her new home at the foot of the mountain with a big broom.

To be honest, there are three main rooms here, and they only have windows and doors, so they are completely empty shells.

There was a small, lonely room in the east wing, with plenty of firewood but not even a stove for boiling water.

I don't know what Mr. Chi was thinking. He would rather pile up a lot of bricks and stones outside the courtyard wall and build an official residence in the southwest corner of the wall than build an extra wing room.

The only advantage is that there is a shallow stream less than a few feet away from the gate. There is water in front of the house and green mountains behind it. It is a standard residence for celebrities.

Just as Shen Lingzhu was secretly complaining about Mr. Chi, whom she had never met, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.

She was too lazy to run to the gate to see, so she took a running start and climbed onto the top of the wall. Before she could steady herself, she heard her aunt say, "Get down. It's not nice to be seen by outsiders."

There were no outsiders there. Apart from the two coachmen who helped build the stove in the kitchen, there was only the second grandfather's grandson Xiaoshan, and a few young boys sent by the elders to help the senior sister fetch water and clean the room.

This is understandable, as the adults in the family are mostly busy with summer planting work in the fields.

But the third uncle who was the first to look for my uncle left and was never seen again, and there was no rice or flour to speak of.

When the family drove the mule cart up the mountain, some tribesmen came forward to greet them, but more people just watched from afar.

I don’t know if it was because my uncle was too out of touch with reality in the past, or if there was some other reason.

Shen Lingzhu saw the horsemen passing by in a flash, then swiftly jumped off the wall and said, "Aunt, I saw several men in tight clothes and carrying swords going upstream along the stream."

"Well, over two hills there are military households raising horses in the valley." Mrs. Hu patted the dirt off her body.

He added, "Later, your uncle and brother will bring the bed and mosquito net, and we will go to the elders' homes to give them some gifts to express our gratitude."

When Shen Lingzhu was asking how many elders there were in the clan, Mr. Xia from the clan school appeared outside the gate.

He said, "Master Shen asked me to pass on a message, take the dowry list and go to my third uncle's house immediately.

I've brought a donkey cart here for you to use."

"I'll ask the coachman to help drive the cart." Shen Lingzhu could run a few miles by herself, but Hu Shi couldn't.

Mr. Xia hesitated for a moment, but decided not to take the responsibility of driving the carriage to avoid suspicion.

When they left, the senior sister knew something was wrong and went with them.

It was only a few miles in total, and we soon arrived at my third grandfather's house by following the mountain path.

When Shen Lingzhu entered the room, he saw the people standing on both sides of the yard. His third grandfather was not present, but there were several people standing on his eldest grandson's side, which was obviously more than the two or three people on his uncle's side.

When she got closer, she noticed a streak of blood running from the other side of her brother's forehead to the corner of his eye. She immediately glanced at the people opposite and loudly demanded, "Who hurt my brother?"

When her eldest niece Miaozhu was using a handkerchief to help wipe away the blood, Mrs. Hu saw the extent of the injury and knew that if she had moved her finger just a little further, her eye would have been injured.

She immediately became anxious: "Go find a doctor quickly."

"Mom, it's okay..." Shen Xianzhu had just opened his mouth when his second sister pressed on the wound, causing him to hiss in pain.

"The medicine is here." Master Shen from the clan school hurried over from outside the gate. "Fifth sister-in-law, this is the ointment for external injuries from the Jimin Hall in the prefecture. It usually heals external wounds without leaving scars."

Mrs. Hu thanked him and turned to stare at the Third Grandfather's family. "What did my son do to deserve such cruelty?"

Her son not only had injuries on his face, but also on his hands. If the injuries on his face were serious, he would not be able to take part in the county examination in the future.

Third Grandpa's eldest grandson, Shen Jianzhang, quickly replied, "Fifth Aunt, no one, it wasn't intentional."

"It's not intentional, but it hurts the corner of the eye. If it was intentional, my brother's life would be ruined." Shen Lingzhu said angrily. She saw that her uncle had no intention of stopping her, so she said:

"Whoever did it, come out and apologize, otherwise we'll punish you for it. This isn't over for us today."

"Why are you so arrogant, little girl? You said you didn't mean it, what else do you want to do?" Shen Jianzhang's mother looked at her with annoyance in her eyes.

He continued, "When our house was ransacked, it was thanks to us that we saved this bed. Now that you've returned, instead of expressing gratitude, you're complaining that the wood is missing and the secret lock has been opened.

What? Is this the afterlife, trying to blackmail our family members?"

"You are slandering me. Who has blackmailed your family? You wouldn't know since we are not here. The elders of the clan came together to ask the villagers to protect the Qiangong bed.

It was Third Grandpa who insisted that your family's newly built house be safe, so the others were sent here." Shen Lingzhu did more than just clean at the foot of the mountain. She also distributed candies to her brothers and asked about many things.

Among them was my aunt's bed, which was originally to be handed over to my second grandfather for safekeeping along with the land deed, but my third grandfather insisted on keeping it at his house.

"Bullshit, if my father-in-law hadn't negotiated with the officers, they wouldn't care about the dowry or not, they would take everything away." Shen Jianzhang's mother immediately pinched her waist and cursed. Her sharp voice attracted more villagers to watch.

Shen Lingzhu refused to give in: "He's full of dirty talk, disrespectful to the elderly, and doesn't know how to handle things.

Second sister…” She forgot the court’s detailed rules for a moment.

While helping her elder brother Shen Xianzhu pick out the splinter from his hand to stop the bleeding, the senior sister said, "A woman's dowry is not included in the list of items that will be confiscated unless she has committed the ten heinous crimes or committed treason.

Of course, we will thank all the elders and Third Uncle for their efforts in protecting us.

But what does this have to do with you?"

"You, you guys..., don't stand in my house if you have nothing to do. Is this what my fifth sister-in-law taught them?" Even though Jian Zhangniang was illiterate, she knew that nothing they said was beneficial to her.

Seeing that the tribesmen looked at her with contempt, she immediately realized that she shouldn't pick a junior to scold, so she directly dragged Hu into it.
