"I am unfilial?" Su Ziyu was shocked and simply suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

Is she unfilial?

If she was unfilial, she would have gone back to the Su Mansion and asked someone to deal with that old woman.

Shen Rujun was filled with disappointment and anger when she heard Su Ziyou's question. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Ziyou, we can put aside the brick and tile issue, but how can you be so unfilial? Mother has given so much for this family, but you let her suffer from the cold and work without even helping her. Where is your conscience?"

Su Ziyu lowered his head, clasped his hands together, anger rising in his eyes, and his hatred for Shen reached its peak.

"Husband, what you said hurts my heart so much. If I didn't work, how did I get chilblains on my hands?"

Su Ziyu stretched out his hands, and his pair of fair hands were covered with red and swollen chilblains.

Seeing her hands were now so rough, she couldn't help shedding tears and whispered, "I know my mother-in-law thinks I'm being hypocritical, but I've tried my best to adapt to housework."

"I also want to take good care of my mother-in-law and you, but I..." Before she finished speaking, Su Ziyu burst into tears, her eyes were filled with pity.

Seeing Su Jinhua crying so sadly, Shen Rujun felt soft-hearted for a moment. She walked forward and gently hugged Su Ziyu.

"Ziyou, that's not what I meant. It's just that mom is old, and I'd rather let us suffer than let mom suffer."

Just as he finished speaking, the wind from the roof blew in, making the two of them shiver with cold.

"My dear husband, I know you are filial. I also want to be filial to my mother-in-law, but I have spent all the money I brought back."

Shen Rujun frowned and was about to scold Su Ziyu for spending money lavishly.

"I bought the charcoal for the house, and I also bought the fabrics for your clothes. I would rather wear old clothes than wear anything decent for you."

"When you make the list, you can dress better so your classmates won't look down on you, right?"

Su Ziyu continued to speak, all his words were for Shen Rujun's own good, and with his affectionate and concerned expression, Shen Rujun's dissatisfied mood improved a lot.

He embraced Su Ziyu, stroking and rubbing her back gently with his big hands.

"Ziyou, I understand your dilemma. I will copy more books to supplement the family income, but my mother is old and can't stand the hardship, so I have to inconvenience you for a while."

Su Ziyu clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, not revealing her inner thoughts at all, and curled her lips slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to my husband."

Shen Rujun lowered her head, looked at Su Ziyu lovingly, and couldn't help but kiss him.

The tense atmosphere was broken and the two reconciled.

As for the matter of repairing bricks and tiles, Su Ziyu still had the same attitude. If she didn't take any money, Shen must have some extra money.

If she really couldn't stand the cold, she would use her own money to repair the bricks and tiles. If that didn't work, she would go back to the Su Mansion to hide.

Shen was expecting them to have a big quarrel, but after a night, she leaned against the wall to listen, and found nothing happened.

His face suddenly turned ugly, and he wondered what seductive words Su Ziyu had said to make his son calm down.

The next morning, Shen Rujun came out of the bedroom and saw Shen sweeping the snow with a broom again.

With a light sigh, he strode over and took the broom from Shen's hand.

"Mom, I've already told you not to do such heavy work. Let Ziyou and I do it."

Shen bent over and patted her stiff back, then coughed softly, "The yard must be kept clean. If you don't even clean your home, you'll be laughed at by outsiders."

As soon as Su Ziyu came out, he heard Shen say this and sneered.

"Walked over and took the broom from Shen Rujun's hand.

"Mother-in-law, I was studying with Rujun yesterday and got up a little late. If you have any instructions, you can call me."

Speaking of studying, Shen's expression changed, but she couldn't get angry.

"Just get up, and read in moderation. After you finish sweeping the snow, go and cook. I haven't been feeling well these past few days."

Shen Rujun looked nervous and helped Shen walk into the house. "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well?"

"Mom doesn't want you to be distracted."

Shen coughed again, and her already old and sallow face looked even more gray after this cough.

Shen Rujun was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"Mom, don't scare me. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell your son."

"Maybe it's because it's been cold these days, and I just caught a cold. I'll go get some medicine later."

Just as Shen finished speaking, a snowstorm blew over, and the bricks and tiles on the roof could be heard being blown.

Shen Rujun lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Mom, I just finished copying the book recently. I will use it to exchange for money and lay bricks and tiles on your roof."

Shen's eyes showed dissatisfaction: "Keep your own money for yourself. When you pass the exam in the future, there will be other places to spend the money."

"Isn't there still plenty of space at Ziyou's place?"

"But Ziyou didn't bring much money back from her parents' home last time."

"Leave this matter to mother." Shen patted Shen Rujun's hand and told him to study hard and not worry about these things.

Shen Rujun nodded, glanced at Su Ziyu who was sweeping the snow outside, and his eyes darkened.

……

Shen went out with the basket on her back, leaving Su Ziyu alone at home.

Su Ziyu looked at Shen Shi walking out leisurely, feeling puzzled.

Why is Shen going out on such a snowy and cold day? But it’s good that Shen is not here, so I don’t have to listen to her nagging all the time, always complaining about this and that.

Su Ziyu, who had just returned to his room for a nap, was awakened by the sound of talking outside.

"What's going on? Are there guests at home?"

Su Ziyou got up, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

When I arrived at the yard, I was stunned when I saw several men standing there.

"You, who are you?!"

A group of men standing here, who wouldn't be scared? Su Ziyu picked up the broom beside him and looked alert.

"Madam, we are tilers. An old lady bought bricks and tiles and asked us to lay them."

Bricks and tiles? An old woman? Shen was willing to spend money to buy bricks and tiles.

I'm an old man, and if the wind and snow continue like this, I'll be unable to bear it sooner or later. Finally, I've turned the corner.

Shen came out of the room with her hands behind her back. Seeing Su Ziyou standing in front of the door, she said with a smile, "Are you awake?"

Seeing Shen's smile, Su Ziyu suddenly had a bad feeling.

In the past, whenever Shen bought some meat, she felt very painful. But today, after spending so much money, why is she so happy?

This is wrong. It's terribly wrong.

"Mother-in-law, where did you get the money to buy bricks and tiles?" Su Ziyu walked over and asked.

"Look at what you said. Of course it's our own money. Isn't your money also ours?"

Shen still had a smile on her face, but her smile was full of pride.

Su Ziyu's head buzzed, and he rushed back into the house and took out the box he had hidden.

When I opened it, there was still the same money inside. So what money did Shen move? !

Su Ziyu had a guess and immediately ran to the room where her dowry was kept. A lot of the dowry had been used before, and the remaining ones were what she had kept with great difficulty.

When he went in to count, he found that something was missing, and he was so angry that he felt dizzy.
