My wife is frail and sickly

Chapter 15 For Miss Shen

Ever since the tenants on Zhuangzi received the money, it was as if they had been given chicken blood. They didn't rest until the first day of the Lunar New Year, and every household planted vegetables at home as if they had made an appointment.Those who had little planting before got up early in the morning to look for wood to fix large wooden boxes. The house was full, even the bed was cleared, and the family was preparing to drill firewood and haystacks.

What do people fear when they work harder?As long as the vegetables are served carefully, the vegetables can be sold in half a month.

A tael of silver and a pound, the girl is kind and does not hold back, and she can get [-] coins in her hands. Where can she find such a good job?In previous years, it would be good to have dozens of pennies in your hands after a busy year. Take advantage of the cold weather to plant vegetables quickly, and the sooner you plant them, the sooner you will sell them for money.

When Shen Xiaolou heard about this, he was shocked. Juan, it’s so Juan!
But this is also a good thing. The more tenants there are, the richer her family will be!

In the second year of junior high school, Shen Xiaolou went to visit the scholar in the village next door, but he didn't go there again after that.Although she has the intention of investing in potential stocks, she is not just buying and selling. If she works too hard, does it look like she is not reserved?

Although no one went there, the situation there was clear. I heard that the scholar was able to get out of bed and walk around, which made Shen Xiaolou very envious.The dying look when I first rescued him is still vivid in my mind. He recovered so well in just a few days. The young man is in great health!On the other hand, she thought, forget it, this is a sad story, let’s not mention it.

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I calculated on my fingers that I should go out and see the scholars.

"Scholar, happy New Year!" Shen Xiaolou wanted to add "Congratulations on getting rich", but he swallowed it back. He is a noble scholar, how vulgar is it to get rich?
The scholar stood with his back to the window and turned around when he heard the sound, "Miss Shen is here."

Well, I haven't seen him for a few days, and he looks even better.

The long eyebrows that slant into the temples, the smiling, clean black eyes, and the slightly upturned thin lips.

This is the most perfect face in her mind, but it's a bit thinner.

Shen Xiaolou glanced at him and frowned, "Why are you alone? Where are the people who take care of you? Are they lazy again?" At first, she asked the tenants of her farm to take care of him. After he woke up, It was replaced by a tenant on his farm. Counting the three times she came this time, she didn't see anyone.

The scholar smiled good-naturedly and said, "I asked them to leave. I am used to being quiet by myself. I am almost well enough and can take care of myself."

"Isn't it better? Look at your sallow complexion. It's because you have such a good temper that you allow them to behave unruly." Shen Xiaolou glanced at him, thinking of the melons he had eaten, and hating that iron could not turn into steel. "Originally I wanted to buy your farm, but I hesitated because I knew you were a careless tenant. Thank you for your hesitation, otherwise... hmm, grass will grow on your grave by now."

"So I am very lucky to have met Miss Shen." The scholar was not angry, and even gave a solemn gift to Shen Xiaolou and said seriously: "No need to buy it, I am willing to give it to Miss Shen."

"Really?" And this is a good thing!

The scholar nodded, "I speak from the bottom of my heart."

Shen Xiaolou was very happy to see that he didn't look fake, but refused, "No, how can I accept such a valuable thing from you?"

The scholar said: "After the death of my parents, although my family has fallen into decline, my family still has a small amount of money. A small village is too shabby compared to Miss Shen's life-saving grace."

"No, I don't want to save you because of your Zhuangzi." Shen Xiaolou was firm and righteous, "If I took your Zhuangzi, who would I become?"

Shen Xiaolou's moral bottom line is really not high. If it weren't for the plot in the future, she would definitely have taken this Zhuangzi. She earned it with her true ability, so why not?
The scholar was anxious and quickly explained, "No, Miss Shen, I definitely didn't mean to insult you..."

"Then stop it and don't mention it again." Shen Xiaolou made a shut-up gesture, which was playful and cute. "Okay, I'll listen to Miss Shen." The scholar looked at Shen Xiaolou. She had a pair of eyes that had been washed by ice water, clean and clear.

The scholar's smile was so gentle, like spring flowers blooming in winter, it hit Shen Xiaolou unexpectedly, and her heart skipped a beat.Looking at such a scholar, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The scholar is weak and elegant, and everything is pleasing to the eye, but he is too easy to deceive. Even if he can squeeze through the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination in the future, with his temperament, how far can he go in the officialdom?Will her investment be wasted?What a pity it would be for such a good-looking man to become cannon fodder!

Shen Xiaolou was worried that his hard work was in vain, but in the eyes of the scholar, Shen Xiaolou was an innocent and kind-hearted girl who said harsh words, but actually had no sense of defense against others.

It's just that his health is too poor, he gets sick every now and then, and he is sick all day long. He looks like he has a weak disease in his womb.But this girl is very strong and cheerful every day, which is different from the girls he has seen before.

When Shen Xiaolou went back, he met Li's mother outside. She was turning her head and looking back, looking sneaky.Shen Xiaolou folded his arms to relax, not surprised at all, "Mother Li, where are you going?"

Shen Xiaolou didn't expect to be able to scare her just once, but she was able to hold her nerve for so long before taking action.

"Ah, aunt?!" The sudden appearance of Shen Xiaolou startled Li's mother. She looked panicked, "Slave, slave, we have run out of embroidery thread. I want to buy some."

"Mother Li, do you think I believe this?" Shen Xiaolou said in a gentle voice, even kindly suggesting, "How about you think about it again and make up a reason that can convince me?"

Mother Li's eyes flickered, but she couldn't help shouting about injustice, "My slave is telling the truth, the girl is aware of it!"

"Mingcha?" Shen Xiaolou chuckled, as if these two words were extremely ridiculous, "Mother Li, I'm afraid you didn't take what I said to heart! I said you are not allowed to leave this courtyard, what are you going to do now? Let me guess, are you going to the town or entering the city? Or do you want to go back to the capital? Go back to the capital and report me to your master!"

"It's wrong, I'm wrong. My master is a girl. I don't want to go back to Beijing. I really want to buy embroidery thread! Everything I said is true. If there is a lie, I will die badly. The sky is thundering." Mother Li cursed and swore, insisting that she was going to buy embroidery thread.

"The sky is thundering? Can God be so busy?" Shen Xiaolou's smile did not reach his eyes, "You bewitched Erya and wanted her to help you deliver the news. Do you think I don't know? I just turned a blind eye. I just close my eyes and won’t care about you.”

"Since you want to commit suicide, girl, I will help you! My hands are clean. I didn't want them to be stained with blood, but you didn't show an eye and insisted on challenging my bottom line."

Shen Xiaolou stepped forward and grabbed Li's mother's collar, "I have chosen it for you. Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, an auspicious day, and there are no taboos. Go and die! When you get to the Hall of the King of Hell, and the King of Hell asks you the cause of death, just say You seek death."

She looked at Mama Li as if she were a dead person.

Mother Li clearly saw the murderous intent in Shen Xiaolou's eyes, and then realized that she was serious, not to scare her. Her face turned pale with fright, and she struggled and begged for mercy, "Girl, please spare your life, I don't dare to do it anymore, please spare me, slave." This time..."

Shen Xiaolou turned a deaf ear and dragged Mother Li towards the mountain.

Mother Li is obviously taller and stronger than her, but she can't get out of her hands like a little chicken...

　Hehe also wants to write more, but I really can’t write with my hand, and I didn’t write smoothly at the beginning. I even revised the previous chapters, and it should be better once I write smoothly!
