Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 203
It must be that Wang Xiucai refused to marry Shen Xi as his official wife, so he secretly raised her, and Shen Yuan guessed as he walked with the washed clothes.

After returning home to dry the clothes, Shen Yuan remembered that the ox cart hadn't been delivered to Mrs. Zhou, so she picked up the pieces of bacon cut by Mrs. Wang into the basket, put them on the ox cart, and drove to the village.

When she came back from Dahe Town that night, she didn't dare to sit in the back, so she huddled with Ji Xun and learned how to drive an ox cart, and she drove it well.

Someone laughed at her when the wellhead was passing by: "Yo, Shen Shen is still driving a car?"

"She has become smarter. I heard from her grandma that Ji Zizi teaches in bed every night.'

"Cripple Ji is so powerful? Can he teach a fool to be smart in bed?"

"What? You think you're not smart enough? Do you want Cripple Ji to teach you in bed?"

"Pfft~~ Look at your words? Are you encouraging me to have an affair with Ji Zizi? But to be honest, Ji Zizi would really look good if he didn't have scars on his face."

"So what about being good-looking? It must not be a good person to be slashed in the face like that."

"I also think that outsiders don't know the basics, so be on guard against him."

……

Shen Yuan drove the ox cart through the village and came to the door of Aunt Zhou's house.

"Auntie, are you home?" Seeing that the door of the house was closed, Shen Yuan drove the ox cart to the backyard to tie up the cattle, and went to the house and knocked on the door.

There is no one in the house. Usually, my aunt is at home at this time. Where have you been today?
Just wondering, Shen's crying came from the southwest direction, would Mrs. Zhou go to Wang's house to watch the excitement? Shen Yuan walked towards Wang Xiucai's house.

The Wang family is located in the southwest corner of Shenjia Village. It is an imposing green brick house surrounded by a high courtyard wall.

At this time, the gate of Wang's house was full of people, and Shen was about to rush into Wang's house with a rope, crying and cursing.

"You Wang's family is bullying others. You hid my daughter and didn't recognize me. If I don't see my daughter, I won't live. I must be hanged in your Wang's house today."
Two strong servants of the Wang family blocked the door, blocking Shen from the outside. Behind the servants stood Wang Xiucai and his mother, Liu.

"I've already reported to the police, what's going on with Aunt Shen? I'll know if Miss Shen Xi is in my Wang's house when the officers and soldiers come to search." Wang Xiucai looked sullen.

Shen didn't want to report to the police. She cried, made trouble, and hanged herself to force the Wang family to come to propose marriage. She didn't know where Shen Xi was! But Wang Xiucai couldn't be so stupid to bring Shen Xi back to Shenjia Village.

Thinking of this, Shen sat down on the steps, patted her thighs and howled again.

"Is it useful to search the house? Who knows where Wang Xiucai hid the person? It's possible in the town or the county. Oh, it's too deceiving! I can't survive!"

Wang Xiucai was so angry that his face turned blue and white. If he pretended to be like that, it would be too much.

Shen Yuan stood by the side and watched for a while, then saw Aunt Zhou, went over and tugged at her sleeve: "Ma'am, I'm sending you an ox cart, you're not at home."

Aunt Zhou was watching the excitement seriously, when she saw Shen Yuan, she hurriedly got out of the crowd together.

"Have you run out of bullock carts? Have you moved the house?" I mentioned the matter of moving when I was having dinner at Mrs. Zhou's house the night before.

Aunt Zhou wanted Shen Xingwang to go over to help, but Shen Yuan said that she didn't have much to do and refused to delay Shen Xingwang's time.

"The move is over, Mrs. Lao is worried." Shen Yuan shook Mrs. Zhou's hand like a daughter, which warmed Mrs. Zhou's heart. If it wasn't for the fear that Mrs. Wang would call at her door, she would really want to recognize her as a daughter.

Back at Aunt Zhou's house, Shen Yuan carried the basket to the main room, "Ma'am, Ji Xun hunted a wild boar and baked bacon before. I brought you a few pieces to taste." He took out the bacon while talking.

A total of five yuan, smoked for several days, yellow and refreshing.

"Oh, how can this work? Take it back quickly." Mrs. Zhou didn't want it, so she quickly picked it up in the back basket.Shen Yuan smiled and held Aunt Zhou's hand.

"My aunt treats Yu'an like a daughter. Why can't I give some pieces of bacon to my uncle, aunt, and brothers to taste?"

"I used to be stupid, but I was beaten by my step-mother. Now I'm clear-headed, and I know who treats me well and who hurts me badly. I don't give this bacon to anyone, only give it to my mother-in-law. aunt."

Aunt Zhou wiped away her tears after hearing this, "Yuan has always been a good boy and a filial child, but I can't have this bacon, you can keep it and eat it slowly."
"My aunt refuses to have it, but she doesn't treat Yu'an as a daughter. How can a daughter give her some delicious food, and my mother won't accept it?"

"Look at your little mouth, the aunt will take it away." Aunt Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes, and put the curd into the kitchen beautifully.It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, the main thing is that Yu Yu's thoughtfulness really moved her.

It seemed that Yu Yu had indeed become smarter, as if she had changed from before, and she felt very comforted.

Aunt Zhou packed up her things, and chatted with Shen Yuan for a while, the Wang family's commotion became more violent, and there was a man's angry voice, probably even Mu Taiping passed by.

"Ma'am, when did Shen Xi disappear?"

It's not that Shen Yu'an is nosy, but this matter is really strange, Shen Yu'an couldn't help asking.

"The day before yesterday." Aunt Zhou poured a bowl of tea for Shen Yuan, "It was the day you and Ji Xun went to town, and you sneaked away behind your back."

Shen Yuan was secretly thankful, but luckily she didn't date her that day, otherwise something would have to be blamed on her.

"Then how did Mrs. Shen know that Wang Xiucai took it away? What evidence does she have?"

Aunt Zhou took a serious look at Shen Yu'an, seeing that she looked calm and quite normal, so she dared to mention this to her.

"Ms. Chen has a purse from Wang Xiucai with Wang Xiucai's name on it, which proves that it was embroidered by Mrs. Liu, Wang Xiucai's mother. Mrs. Shen insisted that the purse was a gift of love from Wang Xiucai to Shen Xi, and wanted to force her to The Wang family came to propose marriage."

After taking a sip of tea, Aunt Zhou continued to speak, it seems that she has not neglected her business these two days.

"Wang Xiucai denied giving Shen Xi the purse, and said that he lost the purse the last time he went back to the village, and he never met Shen Xi in private."

"The two families insist on their own opinions. It is estimated that the matter of finding out Shen Xi cannot be resolved, but..."

Aunt Zhou put her mouth next to Shen Yu'an's ear as she spoke: "You and Shen Xi took the bullock cart into town twice, did you see anyone she met?"
Although she didn't want to get into this muddy water, Shen Yuan answered truthfully to someone Zhou Auntie could trust.

"When Ji Xun and I came back from the town the day before yesterday, we saw Shen Xi on the road of Huayang Academy. She was indeed walking with a man."

"Really? But Wang Xiucai?"

"At that time, I only saw the back, the color of the clothes and the figure, I really looked like Wang Xiucai."

Aunt Zhou let out a sigh of relief, straightened her waist, and showed a puzzled expression.

"That's weird. I thought Wang Xiucai was innocent. Seeing how calm he is, he doesn't look like a liar at all!"
