The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Shen Zhao thought that he had not had time to share the gossip about the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Wenjiang.

I quickly asked the system,

"Guagua, what will happen if we don't complete this task today?"

The melon system replied weakly,

"It's okay, but you will lose the points for this mission."

Shen Zhao was thoughtful.

I'm glad that everything is alright. As for the 10 points, I can earn them back next time.

Shen Zhao fell asleep happily and had a good dream all night.

The next morning, Shen Zhao woke up early.

Because when Shen Zhao was chatting with Shen Wenhu last night, he also drank several bowls of water with Shen Wenhu. So today he got up early to solve his personal problems.

Later, Shen Zhao found his elder brother Shen Wenjiang in the Shen family yard.

Shen Zhao sat down next to Shen Wenjiang with a small wooden stick in his hand.

Shen Wenjiang naturally became close to Shen Zhao.

As the eldest grandson of the Shen family, Shen Wenjiang is upright, steady and treats every one of his younger brothers and sisters seriously.

Although Shen Zhao was not his biological cousin, he treated Shen Zhao the same way as he treated his other sisters and brothers. No matter what other people had a share of, he would leave a share for Shen Zhao.

This big brother with bright eyes whenever he smiled gave Shen Zhao great support and encouragement during his fifteen years of life.

One year, Shen Zhao had a fever, but she didn't tell anyone. She just lay in bed quietly, covered with a quilt, and didn't even come out to eat lunch.

At that time, no one in the Shen family thought about why Shen Zhao didn't come out to eat? Because the farm was very busy at that time, everyone was racing against time, and there was really no time to pay attention to why Shen Zhao didn't come to eat.

They assumed that the child was not hungry.

At that time, Shen Zhao was only 9 years old and Shen Wenxia was only 8 years old. They couldn't even take care of themselves, so how could they take care of Shen Zhao?

As for Shen Wenhu, although he also cared about Shen Zhao, he had gone to study in a private school in the town and would only come back for two days of vacation every month.

At that time, Shen Zhao was lying alone on the bed, with tears in her eyes, feeling that the whole world had abandoned her.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Shen Zhao's self-pity.

It’s Shen Congjiang.

He asked gently,

"Zhao Zhao, can you come in, brother?"

Shen Wenjiang brought a pancake for Shen Zhao and secretly cooked a boiled egg for him. He also gave the wild mulberries he picked yesterday only to Shen Zhao.

Sitting next to Shen Wenjiang, Shen Zhao could think of Shen Wenjiang's care for her anytime and anywhere, and therefore felt more and more regretful and sad about the ending of Shen Wenjiang in the original book.

Shen Wenjiang smiled gently and asked,

"Zhao Zhao, why did you get up so early today? This is not like you."

Shen Zhao said loudly and confidently,

"It's all my fault that my second brother kept talking to me all night. I drank several bowls of water, which was too much. I went to the toilet this morning."

Shen Wenjiang followed Shen Zhao's words and said,

"Then go and give your second brother a beating later. Beat him until he cries out, okay?

No, you can't fight now, your second brother has already returned to the academy this morning. He got up before dawn, and you can still hear his clear voice reading.

According to your second brother, he was doing his morning lessons. After finishing his lessons and eating breakfast, he carried his school bag and got on the village ox cart and set off.

But before he left, he told me that if I wanted to leave, I had to go to town one day in advance to inform him."

Shen Wenjiang also knew that Shen Zhao was going to leave the Shen family and look for his biological parents. Shen Li offered to accompany Shen Zhao, and it was Shen Wenjiang and Shen Li who proposed it personally.

But Shen Zhao refused.

Although Shen Wenjiang was disappointed, he quickly accepted the result.

Shen Wenjiang decided to earn money seriously, and if he could save enough, he would write a letter to Shen Zhao.

Besides, Shen Wenjiang knows the abilities of his second brother, Shen Wenhu.

He trusted his younger brother even more than Shen Wenxia. In his heart, Shen Wenhu would pass the imperial examination sooner or later and would achieve good results in the capital in the future.

Shen Wenjiang firmly believed in his heart that he would have the opportunity to meet Shen Zhao in the capital.

It must be said that Shen Wenjiang has a very gentle personality, but he has his own judgment on major issues and will not be trapped by a single thing.

Shen Zhao was sure of Shen Wenjiang's character and decided to tell him the truth about what he had eaten yesterday morning. It was up to Shen Wenjiang to decide what to do.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao asked,

"Where is the person you are engaged to?"

Although Shen Wenjiang didn't understand why Shen Zhao asked this question.

When they got engaged, Shen Zhao was at home.

But Shen Wenjiang is the eldest brother, and whenever his younger brothers and sisters have questions, he will answer everything he knows.

Shen Wenjiang smiled and said softly,

"Your sister-in-law is from the village next door, Qingshui Village. She is the daughter of the Jiang family. If there is a chance, I will take you to meet your sister-in-law. She is pretty and gentle, and she is filial and virtuous."

Watching Shen Wenjiang talking nonstop, he spoke well of Jiang Zhuer, the girl he was engaged to.

Shen Zhao was sure that Shen Wenjiang had deep feelings for Jiang Zhuer.

In order to prevent Shen Wenjiang from getting deeper into trouble, Shen Zhao spoke directly,

"Brother, do you know that Jiang Zhuer and the youngest son of the county clerk have had a three-year relationship? Previously, Jiang Zhuer had a quarrel with the youngest son of the county clerk, and in a fit of anger, she proposed to separate, and both agreed.

Jiang Zhuer wanted to make the son of the chief clerk regret his decision, so she got engaged to you. Not only that, Jiang Zhuer is already pregnant with the son of the chief clerk.

Brother, do you think that if you marry her, the Zhubu family will let you and the Shen family go?"

Shen Wenjiang was stunned. Was Shen Zhao joking with him?

Shen Wenjiang found it hard to accept and said,

"Zhao Zhao, where did you hear all this? If it's just what others said and there's no real evidence, then don't believe it. Such groundless talk is often very different from the facts."

Shen Zhao could understand that a teenage boy who was upright and in his early teens would have greater trust in the girl he liked and feel that she would not do anything wrong.

Jiang Zhuer indeed disguised herself very well when getting along with Shen Wenjiang, and she always acted like an admirer, so Shen Wenjiang was naturally fascinated by her.

But Shen Zhao would naturally not allow this gentle and honest elder brother to suffer the same fate as in the original book.

Shen Zhao said to his elder brother Shen Wenjiang,

"Brother, what I said is true. You can ask Jiang Zhuer in person next time. The son of my grandfather is called Lin Yetai. Next time, tell her the name. See how she reacts. You can also bring a doctor to check his pulse. He will definitely be able to tell that she is pregnant."

Shen Zhao's words were very logical and convincing.

Shen Wenjiang's suspicion deepened.

He said solemnly.

"Zhao Zhao. Although I don't believe what you said yet, I will verify it. If it is true..."

Shen Wenjiang choked up as he spoke, but people who are not suitable for each other will eventually separate.

Shen Wenjiang can take it or leave it.

What Shen Zhao admired was Shen Wenjiang's courageous character.

She nodded,

"Brother, thank you for trusting me, but you'd better do it as soon as possible. Once the chief clerk's son finds out that Jiang Zhu'er is with you, I'm afraid he will vent his anger on you."

Shen Wenjiang nodded seriously.

"What Zhao Zhao said makes sense. I will go to Qingshui Village this afternoon."

Shen Zhao nodded. Okay,

Then I'll go back to my room first.

Shen Wenjiang forced a smile and nodded.

[Host, today's melon-eating mission has been updated. Do you want to start taking a look? ]

Shen Zhao readily agreed.

"Ding, the page is updated."

Host: Shen Zhao.

Age: 15 years old.

Come on, the most beautiful workers.

Subject 1. Shen Wenhu.

Target 2: The leader of Qingfeng Village.

Subject 3. Shen Congxian.

Shen Zhao laughed.

"Guagua. Is it true that as long as I stay at the Shen family for one day, our gossipers will be everyone in the Shen family. On the first day, it will be me, Aunt Li, and Lin Shu. On the second day, it will be Shen Wenjiang, Wu Xiuyun, and Li Ming.

These people are either related to me or from Shenjia Village.

The system said with a smile, of course, to eat melons you have to start with the ones around you.

Shen Zhao nodded and said, "Gua Gua, what you said makes sense. Then let's eat second brother's melon first today."

Shen Zhao began his journey of eating melons. The more he ate, the tighter his fists became. In the end, his face turned ashen and his eyes revealed viciousness.

Shen Zhao couldn't imagine what it felt like for Shen Wenhu to have his hand broken in the original book.

He was saying last night that cutting off someone else's hand was like cutting off his own hand, and he couldn't bear it.

As a result, in the original book, Wu Chengcai actually cut off Shen Wenhu's hand.

Shen Zhao was furious. She really wanted to rush over and break Wu Chengcai's hand, but she thought of what Shen Wenhu said last night.

Shen Zhao didn't want to make Second Brother Shen unhappy.

However, his hand was broken, but we can teach him a lesson first.

Shen Zhao smiled mysteriously. Then he ate the second melon, the leader of Qingfeng Village.

what?

There were actually several thousand people in Qingfeng Village, and several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

Shen Zhao's eyes glowed red as he ate.

Isn’t this our own reserve army?

Someone has money and a military advisor, Shen Zhao made the decision.

Let's go to Qingfengzhai tomorrow. Qingfengzhai is located on a steep mountain on the road from the county seat to the prefectural city.

Shen Zhao finally ate the third melon, his aunt Shen Congxian.

Shen Zhao looked solemn as he ate the melon.

Generally, the gossip about the Shen family is about the ending of the Shen family in the original novel.

In this melon, Shen Xiaogu Shen Congxian is not having a good time.

Shen Zhao even had a feeling that the emergence of the melon-eating system was to allow Shen Zhao to change the fate of these people and give them a better future.

Shen Zhao left as soon as he said he would, and decided to go to the county town to find Shen Xiaogu Shen Congxian at noon today.

Shen Zhao drove out in a horse-drawn carriage and moved some of the things he had purchased from the last trip to the county town.

Halfway through the move, Shen Zhao suddenly realized that he could buy another house in the county town.

Shen Zhao kept the things at home and moved a small portion of the things back to their original places from the carriage.

At this time, Shen Wenxia ran to Shen Zhao curiously,

"Sister Zhao Zhao, what are you doing? Are you going out?"

Shen Zhao nodded.

"Yes, I'm going to the county town to visit my aunt, do you want to come with me?"

Shen Wenxia thought about how every time Aunt Shen came home, she would bring him a piece of cloth so that she could make new clothes, so he had a good impression of this aunt.

She nodded, "Yes, let's go together."

Shen Zhao asked Shen Wenxia to sit in the carriage and drove the carriage himself. The carriage ran for half an hour.

Arriving in the county town, Shen Zhao asked,

"Xia Xia, do you know which restaurant my uncle-in-law works as a manager in?

Shen Wenxia thought for a long time.

"It seems to be called Delicious Restaurant."

"Then let's go to the delicious restaurant first."

Shen Zhao drove his car smoothly on the spacious and flat streets of the county town.

The sound of a carriage honking could be heard.

The county town is bustling with traffic and people, and there is an endless stream of shops and houses along the streets.

Shen Zhao first went to buy some exquisite pastries and Shixing fabrics, and then followed Shen Wenxia's instructions to come to the delicious restaurant.

It was dinner time at the Delicious Restaurant, but there were not many customers in the restaurant, and it looked quite deserted.

There was only a man in dark clothes and two waiters.

The man was holding an abacus and dialing it impatiently.

Two waiters were sitting there with a cloth draped over their shoulders, looking bored.

There was not a single table of guests in the entire restaurant.

The waiter muttered,

"Manager, you've been dialing for the whole morning. Have you come up with any results? I'm almost drowsy just listening to the sound of the abacus."

The person called the steward was Shen Congxian's husband, Lin Ping.

He said angrily,

"Go ahead and sleep if you want. This restaurant isn't very busy. No one will care if you sleep all afternoon."

Xiao Er is worried.

"I'm worried that I won't be able to pay this month's salary. With our restaurant business, we only have one table of customers at most every day."

The two waiters were sighing, and Lin Ping was even more annoyed than them.

After all, he didn't open the Delicious Restaurant. He was a hired manager. Now that he has run the restaurant like this, he is afraid that he will be kicked out tomorrow.

But no matter how many ways Lin Ping tried, he couldn't revive the Delicious Restaurant.

Every guest who has eaten at the Delicious Restaurant says that the taste of the dishes does not live up to the reputation.

Lin Ping also wanted to change a new chef, but the good chefs had already been booked by the big restaurants in the county, so there were no chefs with good cooking skills.

As for the chef in the Delicious Restaurant, his skills are considered average.

The strange thing is that a new restaurant opened opposite the Delicious Restaurant three months ago, and it seemed like it was competing with the Delicious Restaurant. It’s called Haochi Restaurant.

Three months ago, when it opened, it attracted a lot of customers. They even offered free tastings for the opening of the new store.

No one knew where the chef came from, but he cooked some very novel dishes that Lin Ping had never seen before.

I have eaten it before and it is indeed delicious. The restaurant also has desserts with names like cakes, bread, and other weird things.

As a result, the delicious restaurant took away the business of the tasty restaurant.

Until now, there has not been a single customer at the Delicious Restaurant.

The waiter noticed a carriage parked in front of the restaurant, and he immediately perked up, put on a smile, and ran out to greet the guests.

Finally, he came in with a dejected look on his face.

Another waiter was puzzled.

"You went to greet the guests, didn't you? Why do you look like this?"

The waiter said, "He is not a guest. He is here to see the butler."
