"Mom, it's not my idea. Someone paid me to cause trouble for Shen Sanniang. I took the money, so I have to do it."

"What!" Zou's voice immediately rose a lot, "Who? Who asked you to do it?"

Gu Dawang poured all the medicine into his mouth in one gulp. It was so bitter that he wanted to vomit. He drank a few gulps of water and finally recovered. "Mom, don't ask anymore!"

When Zou heard this, she raised her hand and poked her son's swollen forehead several times with her fingers, "Are you stupid? If you really were doing something for others, and you were beaten like this, it wouldn't be too much to ask for some medical expenses!"

Gu Dawang stepped back repeatedly in pain. After hearing what his mother said clearly, he tried hard to open his swollen eyelids, and a flash of inspiration suddenly emerged in his confused mind.

Yes! Because of these things, he had been beaten twice in a row, and he was injured internally. He couldn't ask the Shen family for compensation, so he asked Shen Yuan for some money to see a doctor and take medicine. It's not too much!

Sure enough, his mother is still his mother, and the old ones are the wisest. Why didn’t he think of it before?

However, it’s not too late to think about it now.

Zou immediately saw what her son was thinking, poked the bump on his head and asked, "Who is it?"

If she knew who was using her son, she would never let that person go!

"It's the scholar's wife." Gu Dawang said the word Shen Yuan as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zou was a little surprised at first, but then she quickly calmed down.

There have been rumors in the village that Shen Yuan harmed Shen Sanniang in order to snatch Gu Xiucai, and it seems that this is true.

Now this scholar lady is here to harm Shen Rong again.

Zou thought of the rumors in the village a few days ago. It seemed that Shen Sanniang was a hindrance to the scholar's wife.

Zou didn't care who Shen Sanniang was bothering. Shen Yuan dared to use her son and beat her son so badly. This matter could not be let go!

And there was Shen Sanniang, a young girl who had scratched her son into such a state. If she didn't do something, it would be too unfair to her son for the suffering he had endured.

Early in the morning, Shen Rong opened the door, and the fragrance of bamboo wafted in the air. A ray of morning light fell on her face. She listened to the clear chirping of birds in the woods behind the house, raised her hands and stretched.

After Shen Rong stretched, she turned around and saw Changsheng wrapped in a quilt, still asleep. A smile flashed across her face.

This time, Changsheng doesn’t have to wake me up.

After washing up, Shen Rong went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Thinking about going to burn incense today, Shen Rong steamed some buns, cooked a pot of porridge, and fried some seasonal vegetables.

After breakfast was ready, before Shen Rong could go back to the room to experience waking someone up, Changsheng was already squatting by the sewer in the corner washing up!

Grandpa and grandma were light sleepers and slept for short periods of time, so they were already awake when Shen Rong just woke up.

The five acres of medicinal fields at home were quite close, and the two old people were used to taking a walk in the fields when they had nothing to do in the morning.

When the two old people came back, Shen Rong had just finished making breakfast.

After breakfast, Shen Rong put some snacks and some steamed buns into the basket, and also took out some incense sticks that were not used up from the last time she went to burn incense.

When Shen Rong was talking to Changsheng, Liu Jinfeng's voice came from outside the yard.

"Sanniang, are you okay?"

"Hey! Here we come!"

Shen Rong pulled Changsheng's sleeve and said, "Changsheng, wait for me at home. I will be back soon. Remember to close the door after I leave, okay?"

After hurriedly instructing Changsheng, Shen Rong didn't want to keep anyone waiting any longer, so she took the basket and went out.

"Oh." Changsheng responded blankly as he looked at the figure leaving through the door.

"Oh, you're finally here. I was just about to go into the house to find you!" Liu Jinfeng looked at Shen Rong with a smile.

Wu Xiangxiang, who was standing by, saw Shen Rong and greeted her.

Shen Rongrong walked up to the two of them and walked side by side, "My two sisters-in-law are here really early."

"Hey! Are we here early? I see from afar that many people from other villages are heading to the other side at the entrance of the village! Let's go over there quickly. I heard that the earlier you burn incense, the more effective it will be!" Liu Jinfeng said impatiently when she saw Shen Rong coming.

The three of them did not go to the main road at the entrance of the village, but walked directly on the small path in the fields. On the way, they met many villagers from the same village.

Because of what happened yesterday, no one said anything in front of Shen Rong. They just glanced at them and then looked away as usual.

Seeing this, Liu Jinfeng nudged Shen Rong with her elbow and said, "Hey, your father and brother from your mother's family are really powerful. Of course, there is also Changsheng. They beat up those people from the Gu family yesterday. They will definitely not dare to gossip about you again in the future."

Shen Rong smiled and didn't respond, "My sister-in-law and the others are going too, they should be waiting in front."

"That's not good. It's more lively when there are more people. I like lively places the most."

Wu Xiangxiang held the basket in one hand and Liu Jinfeng's arm with the other, and the three of them chatted and laughed as they headed towards the path leading to the opposite side of the village center.

Sure enough, when the three of them just walked to the intersection of the path, they saw the two sisters-in-law were already waiting for them with baskets!

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Shen Rong followed and called out.

"Sister." The sister-in-law looked at Shen Rong and signaled her to look back.

Shen Rong looked back following her sister-in-law's gaze and saw Changsheng standing twenty feet away from her, his pair of round eyes looking in her direction.

Shen Rong waved at Changsheng and shouted loudly: "Changsheng, you go back first. There are so many of us, it's okay. I'll be back soon! Remember to take care of the house."

After hearing what Shen Rong said, Changsheng waved his hand as if in response. He didn't say "go", didn't come forward, and didn't turn around and leave. He just looked at Shen Rong and watched her leave.

Although the other side doesn't look far away, it still takes about fifteen minutes to walk there.

Seeing that it was getting late, the few of them didn't delay any longer and set foot on the path in the fields.

After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of the southern mountain.

There is a temple with red walls and black tiles at the foot of the mountain. I don’t know when small stalls were set up along the main road in the east, selling incense and candles, snacks, tea... In short, it is quite lively.

There were quite a few people coming in and out of the hall to burn incense.

However, most of them were women, ranging in age from teenage girls to old ladies in their fifties and sixties. There were no men, at most little boys who followed the adults to join in the fun.

There were several more statues in the temple than the last time Shen Rong came. Although Shen Rong could not recognize which gods they were, she still held incense and worshipped them one by one before leaving the main hall.

Just as Shen Rong stepped out of the palace gate, a purse embroidered with pink lotus fell from the body of a young wife in front of her. On both sides of the purse were tassels made of white jade beads. It looked very delicate and it was obvious that it was not something you could buy in town.

"Hey, your purse fell!" Shen Rong picked up the purse and immediately chased after him.

When the woman heard the voice, she turned around and saw her purse in someone else's hand.

The woman immediately walked towards Shen Rong and said, "Thank you, this is my purse."

Shen Rong was stunned as she looked at this face that seemed strange yet familiar.

It turned out to be her, what a coincidence!

No, it’s just that Shen Sanniang is lucky!

It seemed that God was on her side, and Shen Rong slowly smiled.
