Chapter 128 The toad wants to eat swan meat
Then, Shen Zhi went to the gold shop again and bought a set of gold necklaces and gold bracelets for the baby. Ah Si was a great contributor, so he also bought her a set of gold headgear. Shen Zhi thought that since he was here, he might as well buy some for his family and make everyone happy, since he was not short of money anyway.
The waiter at the gold shop already knew Shen Zhi. After learning about Shen Zhi's needs, he recommended heavy gold bracelets with novel styles to the Third Uncle and Ah Si's grandmother, and Shen Zhi liked them at first sight. Then he gave the Third Uncle a pure gold longevity ring, which had a good meaning. He chose gold hairpins suitable for Shen, Shen Zhen, and Meng Ting. Finally, he picked out a jade pendant of excellent quality for each of the three children and Meng Zirui.
Later, when I was leaving, I saw the gold bead bracelets on the exhibition stand. I fell in love with them at first sight and bought eight of them. All the women in my family, young and old, got one each.
The waiter was so happy today that he couldn't stop smiling. What a VIP customer! When Shen Zhi and the others left, the waiter even diligently saw them off to the carriage.
After shopping, Shen Zhi drove the three children to a photo studio. Shen Zhen was learning to read with Meng Ting in the girls' dormitory. When they saw the child with white gauze tied on his head, they were shocked and asked what happened.
Shen Zhi explained the whole story clearly, and the three children also chirped and interrupted, which made Shen Zhen and Meng Ting very angry. Fortunately, Ah Si's aunt gave birth to the child safely in the end, and the murderer also received the punishment he deserved.
Shen Zhen couldn't help but go back to see her little cousin. She ran to say hello to the manager, handed over the work, and then followed Shen Zhi back to Shitou Village.
At this time, Ah Si had already woken up, her face was pale and she was very weak. Shen Shi and the others did not dare to give her anything to eat, Shen Zhi had warned her in advance not to let her eat anything before she was ventilated.
Shen Zhi went straight into the village today and stopped at Erdan's house. Shen Zhi and her sister sent Erdan home together. Erdan's grandmother had already heard from the neighbors what happened at the foot of the mountain today. She was anxious when she heard that Erdan had also gone to the government office. Now she was relieved to see Erdan coming back with Shen Zhi and her sister, but when she saw the gauze on his head, she guessed that he must have been injured when fighting with Qin Lian, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Grandma, I'm fine. She just scratched me. Erya was too nervous so she put some medicine and gauze on the cut. It's not as serious as the last time I fell on the hillside." Erdan explained hurriedly because he was afraid that his grandma would worry.
The Shen Zhen sisters expressed their gratitude to Erdan's grandmother. If Erdan hadn't been there, the consequences would have been disastrous. Shen Zhi took out the medicine for Erdan's health from the backpack and taught her how to make it. She also took a piece of pork ribs and asked her to make soup for Erdan. Before leaving, she stuffed a silver coin into Erdan's grandmother's pocket. Erdan's grandmother refused but finally accepted it. She was grateful to the Shen sisters.
After getting on the bus, Meng Ting winked at Shen Zhi and whispered, "After you two got off the bus just now, a man kept staring at you two in a lewd way. I suspect he has bad intentions. He is now standing at the door of the third house over there, the one wearing a light blue robe."
Shen Zhi understood. She was talking about Mr. Wang. Just now when the carriage passed by his house, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of him staring at them with drooling. She felt disgusted at the time.
Shen Zhi intended to ignore it, but she didn't expect that when their carriage reached the path in the field, Mr. Wang caught up with them again.
"Erya, stop the car," Mr. Wang suddenly rushed in front of the carriage and almost collided with it.
Shen Zhi hurriedly stopped the carriage and said angrily, "Do you want to die? Get under the carriage."
Wang Xiucai was yelled at by Shen Zhi, but he did not get angry but laughed instead, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Erya sister. I'm fine. Erya, I came here today to explain to you that I have nothing to do with that vicious woman Qin Lian. She was just being sentimental."
Shen Zhi frowned and said hurriedly, "Are you done? If you are, get out of the way. What happened between you and Qin Lian has nothing to do with me. A good dog doesn't block the road. Get out of the way."
Mr. Wang didn't leave. Instead, he suddenly came forward and said, "Erya, don't be angry. There is really nothing going on between her and me. Don't be jealous." As he said that, Mr. Wang extended his hand towards Shen Zhi.
Shen Zhi felt a chill, pulled out the horsewhip hanging beside him, and whipped Wang Xiucai's paw hard.
Before Wang Xiucai could even touch Shen Zhi, his hand was slapped. He felt a burst of pain and immediately retracted his claws. His face instantly became ferocious and he said angrily, "You dead girl, you don't want to drink the wine, it's your blessing that I like you. The people who want to marry me can line up from the beginning to the end of the village. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
Shen Zhi snorted coldly, "You should leave your good fortune to others. Go back and get a basin of water to look at yourself. A toad is wanting to eat swan flesh." After that, he kicked the toad into the ditch beside him, then drove away in his carriage, leaving only Wang Xiucai, who was covered in mud, standing in the ditch, stamping his feet and cursing.
Shen Zhen and Meng Ting laughed out loud in the carriage, which was really a relief.
"If you ask me, this Mr. Wang and Qin Lian are a perfect match. It's a pity that Qin Lian is in jail now. If he had been in jail too, they might have become a pair of mandarin ducks in prison." Shen Zhen said with a smile.
But no one expected that in the near future, Shen Zhen's joke would actually come true, which is really sad.
As soon as they got home, the whole group of people, big and small, ran to Ah Si's room. Ah Si had just gotten some gas, and Shen brought her a bowl of brown sugar, egg and millet porridge, which she was eating with big mouthfuls. Poor Ah Si, she hadn't had a single drop of water since morning, and she was already starving.
The children all gathered around the baby and looked at him curiously. Even though he was already asleep, they couldn't get enough of looking at him. Although the baby was born more than a month premature, he was often nourished by the spiritual spring water in the mother's womb, so his body was in very good condition. Now you can't tell that he was a premature baby at all.
After eating, Ah Si asked about the woman who harmed her in the morning, and Shen Zhi told everyone the truth and the verdict.
Shen was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Qin Lian has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She dared to hurt someone's life without even figuring out the whole thing. She is so bold."
The Third Uncle's Wife also said, "Thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, Ah Si gave birth to the child safely. Otherwise, I would have risked my life to bring the culprit to justice."
Ah Si's grandmother wiped her tears and said, "My Ah Si has a miserable life. Grandma was almost scared to death, fearing that she would die before her child was born. Fortunately, Xiao Zhi came back. You don't know how dangerous your condition was. The doctor just shook his head and passed away without even treating you. Ah Si, there is also the child named Er Dan. If he were not there, the consequences would be disastrous. We must repay him well in the future. I heard that he and grandma depended on each other for survival and their life was hard. Ah Si, people should be grateful and repay kindness. We must take care of him like our own child in the future."
Ah Si nodded. She had never expected that she almost lost her life because of a jade hairpin.
