Chapter 78 Gao
The woman didn't say anything either, she just lowered her head.
Shen Zhi sighed. This woman was just like Shen Shi back then. She was the one who endured humiliation silently. Woman, why can't you be tougher? Just confront her once and see what happens.
Just as she was thinking, the woman raised her head, looked at the old lady, and snorted coldly. "Does my laziness have anything to do with you? Did I eat your rice?"
The old lady didn't expect that this woman would dare to disobey her. She sat on the ground and howled, "You are asking for trouble. My daughter-in-law is bullying me. You are an unfilial bastard. You lie dead at home every day. You are a bitch who is being fucked by thousands of people."
The woman's eyes suddenly turned cold and she kicked the old woman's butt.
"My husband has severed ties with your Zhang family a long time ago. I can tolerate you trying to make a presence of yourself in my place all day long, but I won't tolerate you ruining my reputation all the time. If I hear such shameless words from you again, I won't be so easy to talk to." The woman put her hands on her hips and looked down at the old woman.
The old lady was kicked by the lady and fell face down on the ground, screaming in pain.
"Ms. Gao, you bitch! When my son comes back, I will ask him to divorce you." The old lady got up, cursing. It took her a long time to realize that her nose was bleeding from the fall.
"Okay, I'll wait." Gao was not a coward.
Seeing that she didn't gain any advantage, the old lady left cursing.
Gao glanced at Shen Zhi and the other man and said, "You two have been standing here for so long. Is this excitement really that interesting?"
Song Rou smiled awkwardly and chuckled twice.
Shen Zhi walked up to her, looked at the dimples on her face and asked, "Are you Gao Ying's?"
Gao was stunned. "What's the matter? You two little girls are really brave."
Shen Zhi knew that Gao lived alone with her son, so he changed into women's clothes before coming.
Shen Zhi took out something wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to Gao. Gao carefully opened the handkerchief, and inside it was a purse.
"Zhang Chong, where are he?" Gao asked with red eyes.
"Madam Zhang, we are here because of his request. He asked us to take you away. He said that he was ready to come back two years ago to take you and your son away from the Zhang family, a place of trouble, but an accident happened at that time and it was delayed until now." Shen Zhi said.
"He said that what he wants to eat most right now is the pickled bamboo shoots you picked." Seeing that Gao Shi was a little unconvinced, Shen Zhi continued.
When Gao heard her talking about pickled bamboo shoots, her expression softened a lot.
"Okay, wait for me to pack." After saying that, Gao went into the house to pack her clothes.
Shen Zhi took this opportunity to look around the house. Although the house was made of blue bricks and tiles, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as bare. Fortunately, the house was clean.
After a while, Gao came out holding a thirteen-year-old child and carrying a bundle on her arm.
"Is this the only baggage?" Shen Zhi was a little surprised.
"It's just some clothes for changing. Anything that's a little valuable has been taken away by the old lady to support the second son's family. Let's go."
Gao suddenly remembered that there were two jars of pickled bamboo shoots in the kitchen from early spring, so she asked Shen Zhi to help get them.
Shen Zhi helped to get the jar of pickles and put it on the carriage.
The carriage was moving very fast along the way. Gao's heart had already flown to her husband.
It was not until midnight the next day that the group returned to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
The two took Gao to the basement, where there was snoring. However, the generals were still very alert. As soon as they entered, someone woke up. The person who woke up was Zhang Chong. Zhang Chong couldn't believe that the person in front of him was his wife. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed it many times before he dared to believe it. The couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Husband, are you okay?" Gao looked at Zhang Chong with tears in her eyes.
"I, your husband, am fine. I can eat and drink. Yingying, I'm sorry for putting you through so much over the years."
"Don't feel wronged. I'm fine." Gao said hurriedly.
Zhang Chong couldn't get enough of looking at his sleeping son while holding him in his arms. He saw him once when the baby was two months old. Now he is three years old. Time flies so fast.
Shen Zhi also explained the situation at home to the others, and everyone felt relieved. It was too late, so Shen Zhi took Gao's mother and son upstairs and found a guest room to accommodate her.
The next morning, Shen Zhi got up early. The family members got up even earlier, some were cooking, some were chopping wood, everything was in order.
Shen Zhi told his family that there were guests at home and they would stay here for a while. Everyone agreed. Shen Zhi even made some extra breakfast. When he learned that there was a three-year-old child, Shen Zhi steamed an egg custard for him.
When Gao got up, she wanted to come over to help, but she didn't expect that everyone had already finished the work.
Shen enthusiastically pulled Gao over and said, "Sister, bring the child over for breakfast first. I made some egg custard for the child."
"Okay, thank you, big sister." Gao didn't hesitate and returned to the guest room and came over with her son, Little Stone. Gao also taught Little Stone how to call people one by one. Little Stone's babyish voice made everyone melt. Especially Ah Si, who was about to become a mother, liked children very much and kept teasing Little Stone. Little Stone also liked this aunt. Everyone in this family was very gentle, much better than his grandmother's family.
After dinner, Shen Zhi secretly took Shen Shi and Shen Zhen back to the room and told them about the situation at Gao's house. Shen Zhi felt that there was no need to hide the matter of the basement from her family now. The King of Huainan should be too busy to investigate. When she told them that the King of Huainan had imprisoned the 18 warriors, Shen Shi and Shen Zhen, who stayed in the inner house all day, were filled with indignation.
Shen Zhi told them about the basement under his kitchen. The two were shocked and didn't know when Shen Zhi built the basement.
Shen and Shen Zhen expressed their unconditional support for Shen Zhi's heroic act of saving the eighteen brave men. Shen even said that she would cook for them in the future.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go to the mountains later and bring back some game to serve as a snack for them." Shen Zhi said with a smile.
"You must be very careful." Shen warned.
Shen Zhi nodded.
When Song Rou learned that Shen Zhi was going up the mountain to hunt, she insisted on going with him.
Shen Zhi looked at her with amusement, "Okay, you came here specially to catch rabbits, so I will take you to catch rabbits today, let's go."
Shen Zhi taught her how to track animals by observing their feces, and she put her knowledge into practice and found the rabbit's nest.
"This rabbit is very cunning. People often say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. You see there is another exit. Let's find something to block the other exit." Shen Zhi said as he took out a cloth bag from the backpack and blocked the other exit.
