Chapter 55 Provocation Fails
"Exactly, it's just a wedding, but look at her clothes, all flashy and ostentatious. Anyone who didn't know better would think she came from a brothel," Shen Daya chimed in with a jealous expression.
Sister-in-law Shen was even angrier when she heard this. "Look at her, she looks like a vixen. I don't know how she bewitched your second uncle. He even hired a carriage."
"He really doesn't know how to show off after marrying a wife. He's not afraid that if he loses his arrogance, he won't even be able to afford food."
Shen Daya asked curiously, "Mother, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"How can I manage? The family has already split up. How can I, as the sister-in-law, put my hand under someone else's bed?"
Shen Daya's eyes darted around, and she immediately reminded her, "Mom, if you can't handle it, Grandma can!"
"She's so frugal, she definitely wouldn't want to spend so much money."
Sister-in-law Shen suddenly realized what was happening and became excited. "That's right! I, as her sister-in-law, can't control it, but the old lady can!" After saying that, she ran into the yard.
"Mother! Mother!"
A moment later, Shen's mother was dragged out by her sister-in-law. "Why are you pulling me!"
Shen's mother grumbled at her with a displeased expression.
"Mother, come and see how the second son is getting married."
Shen's mother rolled her eyes. "It's just getting a wife, what's so interesting about that? You've never been married before."
Sister-in-law Shen: "Yes, it happened! But it wasn't as grand as the second son's."
"Mother, look! The second son has even hired a carriage to get married."
"Look at that new carriage, it must have cost a lot of money, right? And the clothes worn by the second son and his wife, they look brand new, they must have cost a lot of money too."
"Mother, do you think the second son really came back penniless this time, or did he keep it for himself and not give it to you?"
"Could it be that they all went to his wife?"
The words had barely left her lips when Shen's mother's expression changed. "He wouldn't dare!"
Sister-in-law Shen pursed her lips, "I don't know if he dares or not, but it's obvious he spent a lot of money on this wedding."
Shen's mother is different from Shen's sister-in-law. Shen's sister-in-law is quick-witted from time to time, but she is the kind of person who is purely bad and always likes to take the lead in everything.
Shen's mother was cunning and clever, and she didn't like to stand out, so she immediately realized that Shen's sister-in-law was trying to sow discord and make trouble for Shen Zhi at this time.
But what day is today? It's Shen Zhi's big day! The whole village is watching! She'd be crazy to cause trouble.
"Alright, you'd be better off helping me with some chores." With that, he walked into the yard.
Watching her mother flee in panic, Sister-in-law Shen muttered angrily, "Coward."
Shen Daya: "Mom, what should we do?"
Sister-in-law Shen glared at her, annoyed. "What can we do? Just let it be."
"Go! Call your sister and brother, let's go to your second uncle's house for a big feast."
Upon hearing this, Shen Daya immediately became excited and said, "Okay." Then she ran into the yard.
Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran back. "Mother, they left a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen became anxious. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly!" After saying that, the mother and daughter hurriedly left.
When they arrived, Xu Qinghe and Shen Zhi had already returned from their rounds in the village and were preparing to hold their wedding ceremony.
They saw Brother Shen walking out anxiously, and as soon as he saw Sister-in-law Shen, he asked impatiently, "Where's Mother?"
Sister-in-law Shen rolled her eyes. "I don't know."
Brother Shen angrily said, "Isn't this just causing trouble?" Then he hurriedly went to call for help.
As Shen Zhi's own brother, Shen's elder brother arrived while Shen Zhi was out taking a walk. As soon as he arrived, Old Man Shen assigned him a lot of chores.
To be honest, he didn't want to do it, but as Shen Zhi's older brother, he had to bite the bullet and do it whether he wanted to or not, because if he didn't, people would laugh at him.
As for Shen's mother, when Shen's father came, he told her to come early. Shen's mother agreed, but she hadn't actually arrived by the time of the wedding ceremony.
Her attitude was seen by others as a way of intimidating her daughter-in-law.
Xu Qinghe had already seen through Shen's mother and didn't care about this matter at all.
Just as Xu Qinghe was standing next to Shen Zhi, idly waiting for Shen's mother, Shen's mother finally arrived right on time.
As the matchmaker, she not only didn't dress up or change into new clothes, but instead wore her most tattered clothes, which were covered in patches and oil stains, and even her hair was disheveled.
As soon as he entered, he started apologizing with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"I had a ton of work waiting for me since early this morning, and I've only just finished it now."
Upon hearing this, Shen Daya subconsciously tugged at her sister-in-law, reminding her, "Mother, Grandma seems to be talking about you."
Sister-in-law Shen: "Let them say what they want! I haven't done any work anyway."
Shen Daya...
When Old Man Shen saw his wife's expression, his face immediately turned ugly. "Alright, sit down quickly!" he said, and the two of them sat down together in the main seat.
Xu Qinghe, wearing a red veil, stood next to Shen Zhi and was guided by him throughout the wedding ceremony.
After the wedding ceremony, Shen Zhi took Xu Qinghe's arm and led her into the house.
Unlike modern weddings, the veil isn't lifted as soon as you enter the house. Instead, you have to wait until evening. During this time, Xu Qinghe doesn't need to go out for social engagements; she can just sit inside.
Shen Zhi helped Xu Qinghe sit on the bed. As soon as they were seated, Shen Zhi's voice came over.
"I'm going out for a social engagement in a bit. If you need anything, just have Chengyue call me."
Xu Qinghe gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.
After giving Xu Qinghe instructions, Shen Zhi quickly left the house.
Because their house only has one room, and all the important things are kept inside, different people will come and go to take things from there.
Xu Qinghe didn't dare to move and could only sit obediently.
Just then, a warm little hand suddenly put something into her hand.
Then he whispered to her, "Auntie, try this rock candy, it's very sweet."
Xu Qinghe chuckled softly, then popped it into her mouth. It was slightly sweet, but the sweetness wasn't quite pure.
"Aren't you two going out to play for a while?"
Xu Qinghe lowered her voice as she spoke to Shen Chengyue.
Shen Chengyue: "We're not going out. We need to stay inside and watch over things."
Because there were many valuables in the house, and today was a mixed bag of people, Xu Qinghe gave the two of them a task.
They kept an eye on the house when they weren't home, and they didn't expect the two children to be so obedient, keeping an eye on them until now.
Xu Qinghe: "Go if you want, I'll stay inside."
Shen Chengyue: "You can't see it anyway."
Xu Qinghe...
"After you two leave, I'll quietly lift the veil so I can see it."
Shen Chengyue turned his head and glanced at Xu Qinghe, who was sitting upright, and said without thinking, "Then let's forget about it!" After saying that, he began to lick the rock candy in his hand in small bites.
Just then, Shen Daya suddenly sneaked out from outside and glanced in Xu Qinghe's direction as soon as she came in.
