The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Chapter 4 Shen Zhao Refuses to Wash Dishes

Zhang Xiaocui's expression froze, her face full of disbelief. This, this was something Shen Zhao could say.

Isn’t she the most hardworking one in the family?

The last time I had a fever, I went to work in the fields all day, and when I came back I even cooked dinner for myself.

Did you hit your head today?

Zhang Xiaocui smiled falsely.

"Zhao Zhao, wait for your fourth aunt to come back, and your aunt will help you teach her a lesson. Although you are not our Shen family's biological child, you have eaten in our house for so many years. Your aunt will not allow others to bully you."

Zhang Xiaocui: I am the only one who can bully you!

"But Auntie needs to have a good rest before she can help Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao wouldn't be unwilling to help Auntie even with such a trivial matter as washing the dishes!"

Shen Wenxia has the most explosive temper. She gets along best with the gentle and good-tempered Shen Zhao in the family. Even her own sister cannot compare to her. Seeing that her aunt was about to order Shen Zhao around again, she couldn't stand it and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Yang Zhaodi.

"Mother, what are you doing? I am here to speak a fair word for Sixth Sister."

Yang Zhaodi gently pinched her second daughter and scolded her in a low voice, "Your grandmother didn't care, what are you doing up there, little girl? Don't meddle in the affairs of the first and second wives. We can't afford to offend your aunt."

Shen Wenxia's hands were held tightly, unable to break free, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Shen Li watched all this coldly without saying a word.

The men of the Shen family had already eaten their fill and gone to work.

Shen Zhao stared at Zhang Xiaocui and said sternly,

"Aunt, a three-year-old child knows how to do his own things. You are so old now, don't you know this?"

Zhang Xiaocui hadn't been ridiculed like this for a long time, except for her own mother-in-law, who was her husband's mother and the person in power in the family. Zhang Xiaocui couldn't do it.

But now, an adopted niece, who is not loved by her father and mother, and who eats and lives in the Shen family's house, why does she speak to herself, the eldest daughter-in-law, like this?

Zhang Xiaocui widened her eyes, frowned, and shouted in surprise,

"You are such a good person, Shen Zhao. You eat my food and use my things. What's wrong with working more? That's what you should do. You might as well not eat lunch. What's the point of eating without working anyway?"

Shen Zhao sneered, and glanced at Shen Li who was silent beside him, with a slightly intimate expression.

"Grandma, do you think so too? Why do I remember..."

Shen Li knew what the maid wanted to say as soon as she heard the words, and quickly scolded her, "Old lady, why don't you go wash the dishes? If you keep dawdling, you will have to cook tomorrow's meal."

Under pressure from her mother-in-law, Zhang Xiaocui glared at Shen Zhao fiercely and agreed reluctantly.

Shen Zhao leisurely watched Zhang Xiaocui deliberately make loud noises every time she cleaned up a bowl or basin, as if she was venting her dissatisfaction.

Lazily said in a joking tone, "Grandma, since Auntie is making such a big move, I guess she should go to the fields later, so Uncle can come back and have a rest."

When Zhang Xiaocui heard that she had to go to the fields, she was so excited that she quickened her pace and lowered her voice without waiting for Shen Li to say anything. In less than a moment, everything on the round table was cleaned up, and she went to the well in the yard to wash the dishes.

When Yang Zhaodi saw that her sister-in-law had already given up, she said softly without anyone urging her,

"Mom, I took Xia Xia and Qiu Qiu to water the vegetable garden."

Shen Li nodded.

Before leaving, Shen Wenxia winked at Shen Zhao and gave him a thumbs up.

Shen Zhao smiled back, his lips slightly raised, "Do a good job!"

Mrs. Shen Li also has a lot of work to do. The family members need shoes, so she should knit a few more pairs. Winter is coming, so she should find more cotton and make an extra winter coat for her second grandson. Studying is hard!

In the blink of an eye, only Shen Zhao and a mumbling Zhang Xiaocui were left in the Shen family yard.

Shen Zhao had been curious about the appearance of this body since she woke up. She ran to the well, used the original owner's basin to draw half a basin of water, put down a towel, and wiped her face. All the saliva from her aunt had splashed on her face.

Oh, that’s disgusting, wash it!

Ignoring the "picky" gossip of the person next to him, Shen Zhao looked intently at his reflection on the water.

Wow, this appearance is 50% similar to myself in the last life, except that the skin is not as white and smooth, and there is less flesh on the face, giving off a feeling of being hungry.

But her foundation is still there, Yan Yang is an exquisite beauty.

The most important thing is a pair of eyes that can speak, bright and charming, clear and innocent, with slightly raised eyebrows, which has a hint of charm.

There is a little beauty mole below the end of the eye, which is not obvious when the skin is yellowish.

The lips are rosy and the color is translucent, natural beauty lips!

Shen Zhao was quite satisfied with his appearance. He thought he would look much better if his skin color returned to normal.

Shen Zhao dipped the cloth in water and, with the help of his figure, a drop of spiritual spring flowed down his palm and mixed in half a basin of water, becoming part of the water.

Shen Zhao was in a good mood. He washed his face with water and soaked his hands in it for a while, focusing on making use of the water for multiple purposes.

The used water was poured onto the persimmon tree that occupied a corner of the yard, and soon there were sweet and soft persimmons to eat.

Shen Zhao came into his room, lay down on the bed, and rolled back and forth.

"Guagua, it's time to eat melon."

"Ding! Host, please choose a mission."

Shen Zhao was more generous and accepted them all!

"Guagua, eat my own melon first!"

"Shen Zhao—the child who was taken away!"

After eating the melon, Shen Zhao understood everything!

This is a familiar story!

Shen Zhao, the little princess of the palace. When the princess gave birth to her, the wet nurse betrayed her and lied that the baby was stillborn. In the end, she had one last good thought and did not strangle the little princess to death. Instead, she ordered people to abandon her far away, preferably as far away as a hundred thousand miles from the capital.

The princess was depressed and asked the royal temple to pray for blessings the following year.

The concubine of the prince's mansion took the throne, and the concubine's daughter who was born a month later than the princess was named Princess Anping.

"Host, do you have anything to say?"

Shen Zhao responded indifferently, as if he was just eating an ordinary melon.

Guagua scratched his head. He still wanted the host to take back everything that belonged to him. After all, there were more and more explosive melons in the capital.

Shen Zhao understood, touched Guagua's head and said soothingly,

"Now is not the time to go to the capital. Besides, the capital is far to the south and north, and I have no money now. How can I go? Should I go on my knees?"

Shen Zhao has his own plans, and he must get his identity back.

It’s nothing, the princess hasn’t let it go yet, she’s quite curious!

Afterwards, Shen Zhao ate the other two melons one by one, saying the whole time, "Wow, green hat, old lover!

Each person, one system, was inexplicably excited to eat.

Shen Zhao and the system finished eating the two exploding melons with reluctance, with smiles in their eyes and brows.

Shen Zhao just waited for the two melon owners to be ready, and then she would start to do some big things.

Shen Zhao counted his assets and found a hole at the innermost part of the bed, close to the wall. He dug it out and found a small box.

There is a lock on the box. I don’t know what it is made of or if it has a mechanism. It cannot be opened by brute force.

Shen Zhao tried to open it with a silver needle but failed. He lowered his head to examine the box carefully, and suddenly a small sachet fell out from his neck.

Shen Zhao thought of something. It was the memory of the original owner opening the box a year ago.

Shen Zhao took off the red rope chain around his neck and opened the sachet, revealing a silver key inside.

A key was inserted and turned, and the lock opened.

There were two gold hairpins and one hundred taels of silver in total.
