The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Thinking about how they had been accusing Shen Zhao of eating, drinking and living for free for so many years, shame and regret flashed across their faces.

Zhang Xiaocui complained,

"Mom, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"

Shen Li rolled her eyes and snorted.

"Didn't I tell you? Didn't I emphasize it so many times every year? Shen Zhao is a member of our Shen family. He didn't eat and drink for free. I told you to say less, but you all turned a deaf ear to it, right?"

The reason why Grandpa and Grandma Shen did not make the money public was that Shenjia Village suffered a small drought five years ago, but it was not to the point of total crop failure.

However, the autumn harvest was only 120% to % of that in previous years. If other families knew that the Shen family had a huge sum of taels of silver, the Shen family would be uneasy.

Therefore, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen decided to keep the money secret.

At that time, little Shen Zhao also thought that giving this money to his grandparents, who were in charge of the family, would prove that he was capable of supporting himself.

Although he is not the biological child of the Shen family, Shen Zhao does not owe anyone anything.

During these five years, the reason why Shen Zhao was so submissive and tried to please everyone in the family was that as he grew older, the gossip from outsiders and the indifference of his family made Shen Zhao feel lonely.

She wants to do everything well so that everyone can agree with her.

When Shen Zhao thought of this, he felt even more sorry for the original owner. He was determined to leave the Shen family and go to the capital, not for anything else, but only for the original owner to find her biological parents, let her know where her roots are, and let her return to her roots.

Shen Zhao once again reaffirmed his idea of ​​going to the capital.

Facing the shame of the other members of the Shen family, Shen Zhao didn't want to say forgiveness, nor was he qualified to say it.

She glanced coldly at everyone and returned to her room alone.

Shen Li sighed deeply, and started to sort out the things that Shen Zhao had just given her.

This kid has thought of everything.

I really have to completely cut off ties with the Shen family.

Shen Congbao, Zhang Xiaocui, Shen Congwei and Yang Zhaodi looked at each other. The four of them remained silent and went back to their rooms to digest the surprising news.

Shen Wenxia secretly pulled Shen Wenhu and pointed to the corner of the yard, "Second brother, I have something to tell you."

As for Shen Wenxue, he ran away alone and hasn't come back yet.

Shen Wenqiu stared at the rabbit and pheasant in the kitchen.

Shen Wenhu obeyed Shen Wenxia and followed her to the corner of the yard.

Shen Wenxia said anxiously,

"Second brother, do you know? Sister Zhao Zhao is leaving the Shen family. This is what happened. Yesterday... this morning... this... that... and then... Sister Zhao Zhao said she knew who her parents were, and she was going to look for them.

I told Sister Zhaozhao that I would come back to look for you tomorrow, but Sister Zhaozhao went to the town to buy a carriage and took me directly to your academy. I think she was quite determined this time.

Second brother, you have to persuade her well. "

Shen Wenhu frowned. His two eyes, like a pool of spring water, were filled with complicated emotions.

The Shen Zhao I met today is different from the Shenzhou of the past fifteen years.

Shen Wenhu was not sure that he could convince Shen Zhao today to give up what he wanted to do, but as Shen Zhao's second brother, he would definitely try his best to persuade Shen Zhao to give up dangerous things.

Shen Wenhu comforted Shen Wenxia,

"Xia Xia, don't worry. Let's let Zhao Zhao calm down first. By tomorrow, Zhao Zhao will probably have calmed down. Second brother will go talk to her."

"Yeah, big brother. You must do your best."

Shen Wenxia couldn't bear to leave Shen Zhao.

Thinking of Shen Zhao abandoning her and leaving Shenjia Village alone, Shen Wenxia wanted to cry.

Shen Wenhu nodded solemnly.

Both siblings looked unhappy.

night.

The Shen family welcomed the most sumptuous dinner of the year.

The staple food is cornmeal buns and white rice.

The dishes include fried pork with peppers, pheasant stew, fried chicken with peppers, seaweed egg drop soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised pork belly, cold wild vegetables, and fried pork with mushrooms.

Each dish is served in a small bowl and is quite filling.

Shen Li didn't plan to distribute the food, so she let everyone eat and drink freely.

Tonight, Shen Li cooked the meal herself, with her two daughters-in-law helping her.

Shen Li was a great cook and was generous with her seasoning. Even Shen Zhao ate with gusto, not to mention the others, who looked as if they hadn't eaten for 800 days, their chopsticks left afterimages.

Shen Wenxia was the most supportive, praising as she ate. "Thanks to Zhao Zhao, we caught rabbits and pheasants, and bought flour and rice. Sister Zhao Zhao is the best."

The others had to nod their heads as well. Indeed, tonight's meal was thanks to Shen Zhao.

Grandma Shen patted the table and said to the whole family,

"Shen Zhao will always be the granddaughter of the Shen family. Regardless of whether Shen Zhao stays in the Shen family in the future, there will always be a place for Shen Zhao in the Shen family. Her room will always be kept, waiting for Shen Zhao's return."

Zhang Xiaocui and Yang Zhaodi did not oppose this time. They also agreed with what Shen Li said.

The family happily finished this sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaocui and Yang Zhaodi, two sisters-in-law, worked together to clean up the dishes.

The two of them were quick and efficient, and they cleaned up everything neatly and cleanly in just half an hour.

Soon the old Shen family fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Zhao was lying on the wooden bed with his eyes open. He was conscious and not at all sleepy.

This afternoon at the village gate, Shen Zhao keenly felt the malicious gazes of several people.

Shen Zhao believed that they would definitely take action at night.

Sure enough, there was a slight noise coming from the outer wall of the Shen family's courtyard.

It sounded like someone was climbing the wall, and then, bumping into something, followed by a suppressed cry of pain.

A smile appeared on Shen Zhao's lips.

How could she not be prepared to face an unknown enemy?

Shen Zhao had asked Uncle Shen to sharpen some sharp bamboo strips and pick up some broken tiles in advance and place them on the top of the wall as a gift for these people.
