Chapter 386 Reunion 2
"He was working in the town and saw a young master from an unknown family who ran out to play. He was chased by a wild dog and fell against the wall. A lot of blood came out of the corner of his eye."
"He chased the wild dog away and quickly ran to the clinic with the child in his arms. He heard that the child had injured his right eye, so he had to go to Dachengzhou to find a famous doctor who might be able to heal the child's right eye."
Ji Wenhe asked doubtfully, "Then your husband is not suspected by the child's family? Did he hurt the child?"
She nodded. "At first, the child's family suspected that he had hurt the child. If there hadn't been witnesses at the time, he would have been arrested and put in jail."
"Because of this incident, their family may have felt that they had wrongly accused someone, so they gave him ten taels as compensation, as a way of thanking him for sending the child to the clinic in time."
"It was really dangerous." Shen Suya felt distressed when she heard her words, "If no one was there, I would have been thrown into jail by that family."
"Yes, I am also glad that when that family gave him the money, he didn't even think about asking for it. It was they who insisted on giving it to him, saying that we would be even in the future."
Shen Zhiyan also felt that ten taels of silver was too much. He said he felt a little panicked when he held the money.
Ji Wenhe took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Their family is afraid that you will use this favor to ask them to help with other things. It is better to give them ten taels of silver at once and completely end the relationship. This will prevent you from coming to their house to threaten them in the future. I think that's what they think."
"Yeah, that's what he said, but the money he gave was too much, so I felt a little uneasy."
"Why should you be worried? If your husband hadn't chased the wild dog away and sent the child to the clinic in time, the child would have been more seriously injured."
"Since they gave it to you, just take it with confidence. If you give it back, they might suspect that you think the money is too little and want more."
"But apart from you, your husband, and the three of us, who else knows about this?"
"No, I didn't tell anyone else. I can't trust them."
If this matter gets out, her father will definitely take all the money.
Shen Suya touched her chin and said, "Zhi Yan, since your father refuses to give in and insists on asking you for three taels of silver, then you should give him three taels and say that the money was borrowed from someone else."
"That way, if they ask you for money again, you can say that you borrowed money from them and haven't paid it back yet, and you don't have a penny left."
Shen Guyan nodded in agreement: "I think this method can be used. No matter how good your brother is to you, he can't beat your father. Besides, your mother doesn't stand on your side."
"Zhiyan, what Xiaoya and Guyan said is feasible. Don't show off your wealth. You must save the money you have. If your brother can solve this problem, it will be better. If not, you can only take out three taels of silver. Or if you insist that you don't have any, you can only take out one tael."
"Sister-in-law, I told you before that I was willing to help my brother. At that time, I had no money, and I could only give one or two taels of silver from my family."
"My father would not be able to give me three taels even if he forced me to death, but now I have money in my hands. I don't want my brother to be caught in the middle. When I came back to give gifts today, my mother said that my brother and father had several quarrels."
"My younger brother even said that if my father dared to take my money, he would never come home in this life. I don't want my younger brother to become a bachelor and never be able to find a wife."
Shen Zhiyan sighed and continued, "Just give him three taels. Like you said, the money is borrowed, and I won't give him a penny in the future."
The three nodded.
Ji Wenhe broke open the cooked peanuts and placed the peanuts on the paper bag: "Eat and talk while you eat."
Shen Guyan took a broad bean and put it in his mouth: "It's good that you have one brother, but I have two brothers. When I met Dali, I changed the betrothal gift again and again."
"When my two younger brothers find their marriage partners, my father, grandmother, and grandfather will definitely come to me to ask for money. That will give me a headache."
"But you are better off than me. My husband can only work in town and doesn't make much money."
Unlike her husband, who is a hunter and can sell his prey in town for a lot of money.
Ji Wenhe interrupted quickly: "Stop, stop, stop. You can't compare. Each family has its own advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing is that your significant other treats you well, is willing to spend money on you, and makes money for you. That's enough."
"Sister-in-law is right." Shen Suya looked at them, "You two have similar maiden families, and you both suffered a lot, but you married well, Zhiyan, you will have a good life in the future."
"No one of us will tell anyone about this. You should keep it to yourself. You should also be careful not to let anything slip. The same goes for your in-laws. Buy some good food to eat when you go back home, and don't let anyone in the village see you."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm pregnant. I've been nauseated since early November, so I went to see a doctor."
Shen Zhiyan smiled and looked at her belly: "Congratulations, your mother-in-law will let me give you a boy."
She nodded: "She said that she was pregnant with a boy, and if it was a girl, she asked me to have another child, so that she could give birth to a grandson for their family."
"Is your sister-in-law's family a boy or a girl?"
"My eldest sister-in-law has a boy, but my mother-in-law asked her to have another one, saying the more children the better. Then she came back and told my mother not to have too many children. Too many will not only make her tired, but she will also be unable to raise them."
Shen Guyan agreed: "It is very tiring. When the baby in your belly is born, you will know how tiring it is to raise a child. Dali and I have discussed it and we only want one."
"It's easy. He and I don't have to live a tight life. We can go to town to buy whatever we want to eat. We can save some money and give it to her as a dowry in the future."
Shen Suya ate peanuts and said, "Can your Dali agree not to have a boy?"
"He agreed. When I gave birth, I screamed in pain in the room. It took me half an hour to give birth to the baby. He watched as basins of blood were carried out. His legs went limp with fear."
"He said if I don't want to have a baby, then I don't have to. He just wants a daughter. He also wants to save some money and buy a small house in town and bring us mother and daughter to live there."
Ji Wenhe glanced at her and said, "I think he is afraid that people in the village will say that you gave birth to a daughter, so why didn't you give them a son? He is the only one left in his family."
"Yes, that's what Dali told me. We'll stay in the village for a few years. When we have enough money, we'll go to the town and not live in the village anymore."
"What about the homestead and the fields? Have they all been sold?"
"Brother Dali wants to sell them all. The land and homestead can be sold for a lot of money. He can buy a small house and grow some vegetables in the yard. It will be enough for our family of three."
"He can hunt. Occasionally he goes into the mountains to hunt pheasants and rabbits and sells them in town, or works in town. I can make silk nets myself, so I can afford to support a daughter."
Liu Dali was really good to her. He went to the town a few days ago and looked at several houses. He wished he could buy one of them right now and bring his daughter and him to live in the town.
