"Let's go and take Shen Xianzhu back."

"If he hadn't left here just now, would he have been able to leave?"

"Just adjust your mood. If he can't wipe off the cinnabar, he will naturally think of buying medicine from the Seven Stars Temple."

When they came to the Jinshi Archway again, the senior sister just called out "Brother, go home." Shen Xianzhu, who was sitting behind the pedestal, silently threw down the hay ball in his hand and walked in front of them with big strides.

Shen Lingzhu couldn't help but praise, "Senior Sister, you should be able to make some money by setting up a fortune-telling stall."

"It's better to hope to make money quickly from the bean sprouts we distributed a few days ago." When several families helped to cook, Shen Miaozhu had already learned from the side whether there were bean sprouts. Everyone was quite confused.

Shen Lingzhu shook his head. Now was the time when vegetables and fruits were in season, and bean sprouts were not easy to sell. Only in winter could one make a small profit by selling them in the county town.

"Hurry up, both of you." Shen Xianzhu saw some villagers coming from the fields across the street. He was not in the mood to greet everyone he met as before. He deliberately turned his back and called his two sisters.

Shen Lingzhu and the others understood that he was in a bad mood, so they quickened their pace to catch up.

A few villagers who passed by saw the three people running over and started talking again.

Some people sympathized and said that the Fifth Master's family would suffer in the future, while others disagreed and made sarcastic remarks.

The answer is: "At least they have fifty mu of farmland, do you have any?"

The three siblings did not take these things to heart when they heard the tail end of Xia Feng's words. Everyone talks about others behind their backs, but there was no need to worry about it if it was not as excessive as Xia Zhu.

Shen Xianzhu was anxious to talk to his father about the memorial archway immediately. He walked straight into the hall after entering the courtyard and didn't even notice the person tied to the tree in the yard.

He didn't care, but Shen Lingzhu and his senior sister behind him saw at a glance that the person tied up was the strong man in the tavern.

In addition, Xia Wang, who was brushing tung oil on the bellows, kept making gestures, and his uncles shook their heads, and the two of them felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the uncle's voice came from the hall: "Come in."

Shen Xianzhu was still concentrating on cleaning the cinnabar runes and didn't notice the coldness in his father's voice.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he heard his father shout coldly, "Kneel down!"

As a result, none of the three siblings were able to move.

Shen Lingzhu and Shen Miaozhu were not used to kneeling before others, and Shen Xianzhu was preoccupied with something and could not react in time.

The head of the family, Shen Huai, clenched his fists and glared at the three of them. Mrs. Hu in the inner room stroked her forehead and complained in her heart: Look, this is the consequence of being a kind father.

"Ahem, kneel down and listen to the lecture." Huang Zongqi, the uncle who was sitting with them, kindly reminded them.

Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister hesitated for a moment, then knelt down together, not forgetting to pull their eldest brother, whose mind was still wandering away.

"You have become so capable that you not only dare to buy illegal salt but also negotiate business with them.

Do you know what this behavior is? "Shen Huai's original anger was unexpectedly reduced by the children's non-cooperation, and his tone was not so cold.

Shen Lingzhu replied smartly, "It's illegal." Then he was nudged by his senior sister's elbow and immediately lowered his head in silence.

Shen Huai: ...He didn't know how to continue.

Huang Zongqi came to the rescue again, saying, "Those who dare to sell illegal salt are either powerful or have powerful backers.

Usually it is the elders in the family who go to buy things, not you kids.

And he even dared to tell people about the bellows profit share, now he's got the thieves interested and is here to find out the truth."

Shen Xianzhu finally came to his senses, "The store owner saw the benefits and wants to steal our business?"

"And then?" Shen Miaozhu also looked up and asked.

Shen Huai: "Kneel here and reflect on what it means to be a gentleman and not stand under a dangerous wall."

After saying that, Huang Zongqi nodded, and the two of them left them and left.

Shen Lingzhu turned around to look, and her uncle waved to her. When she knelt again, she saw her aunt standing silently beside her, looking at her...
