Chapter 297 Jiang Chen Returns Home in Glory
Chapter 297 Jiang Chen Returns Home in Glory
Shen Bo Niang was concerned. Nan Zhi said it was definitely good. So what if she was an only child? She had two sons. At most, she could give one away.
Shen Desheng's younger brother is still young. His name is Shen Deli, and his nickname is Erli. He is only eight years old. He is a naughty boy and a well-known troublemaker in the village.
After Shen Bo Niang learned about Xu Saifei's family situation, she became a little unsure, "Can they be interested in our Desheng?"
He owns a big restaurant and a large house in the county town. He is a wealthy man and is so capable. How could he marry so far away?
It's separated by two counties, so going out more than a hundred miles is considered a long journey at this time.
Shen Nanzhi said: "Miss Xu is so capable, why don't you come to our county to open a chain store? With Desheng's help, maybe they can expand the Xu family's business to the entire state, or even the whole world.
People have to move forward. I'll ask Miss Xu to come over later, and you and your uncle can meet her first. If she's satisfied, then all your worries won't matter."
"This is not good. We should go and meet the man. As the man, we should take the initiative and not let him find fault with our manners."
Aunt Shen is a reasonable person. She is not the kind of evil mother-in-law who would bully her daughter-in-law. She is also supportive of her daughter-in-law's career. Shen Nanzhi is very optimistic about them.
"It's okay. Miss Xu also wants to open a branch in our county. I told her that I came to see the shop, not to visit you specifically."
Shen Desheng couldn't sit still any longer. "Then I'll go pick her up myself. The road is so chaotic. What if something happens?"
"Okay, that's how it should be. We'll get along after a while. So when will Miss Xu come?"
Shen Nanzhi said, "Wait until Master Xu is better, which will take about half a month. Then we can keep in touch by letter. Now the roads between several counties have been opened, so communication is also convenient."
"That's right, we are always ready."
Aunt Shen was so happy. She had always been worried about her eldest son's marriage, but he didn't like the girls in the village, which made her very worried.
This trip was not bad. He brought back a wife who has become more intelligent. She is looking forward to having a grandson next year.
Shen Nanzhi didn't know that her aunt was thinking so quickly. She was thinking about having a grandson before there was even a chance of anything happening.
Do older people have any obsession with children?
Aunt Shen talked about some trivial matters in the village, which Shen Nanzhi found very interesting. There were really a lot of gossips in the village.
"By the way, the Shimo Village next door came to borrow food several times. Your uncle wanted to let the villagers serve as laborers for us next year, so he lent them some food. He didn't have time to tell you, did he?"
Shen Nanzhi didn't care. When people reach a certain level, they won't bother to care about previous minor conflicts. It's not some deep hatred. Wouldn't it be tiring to keep thinking about it?
"Just lend it to them. Can we keep our relationship forever? It's fine if they change their ways. If they still don't know what's good for them, we'll cut off all contact with them. Now the initiative is in our hands. They have to curry favor with us."
"Who says it's not true? Now even the most distant relatives want to come visit us. They all know that our villagers have food and can have a peaceful New Year."
Of course, there were also many conflicts. Who doesn’t have a few real relatives? How to borrow food? How much to lend out? There are always reasons.
But Shen Qingshan didn't care about them. He handled the household chores himself. It wouldn't make his family's life difficult, right?
After chatting for a while, Aunt Hu from Shimo Village suddenly came to her and said, "Miss Nanzhi, you are finally back. I want to tell you that something big has happened."
"What's going on?"
Aunt Hu looked worried: "Jiang Chen is back."
Shen Nanzhi frowned: "If he wants to come back, then he can come back. I can't stop him from going home, right? What did the village chief say?"
Aunt Hu said, "I think he was very busy when he came back this time. He seemed to have made a fortune. He even paid back the money owed to the villagers and sent food to everyone to help them get through the snowstorm.
He was very interested in the fire pit and brought a few people to learn it himself. The village chief couldn't stop him. Those people seemed to be quite influential. "
"Really? Thank you Aunt Hu for coming to tell me the news. If he is doing well at home, you don't have to worry about it. If he has any bad intentions, please let me know."
"I will definitely do that. That Lin didn't come back with us, and the three children are not here either. Even if Jiang Chen came back by himself, do you think he would sell everyone out?"
Aunt Hu didn't mind speculating about Jiang Chen with the greatest malice. This man was really a bad guy and had not done many good things.
Shen Bo Niang felt a chill down her spine when she heard this. "That's impossible, right? He is a scholar after all. How could he do such a shameless thing?"
"It's hard to say. Anyway, you guys should be careful. I have to go. The villagers are checking everyone strictly now. Anyone who leaves the village will be questioned. It feels like we are being treated as criminals."
Aunt Hu was full of complaints and was extremely worried about Jiang Chen's return. After all, he was forced to leave and the villagers were more or less responsible.
"Take care, Aunt Hu. I went out for a while and brought back some local specialties. You can bring them to Uncle Hu and the children to have a taste."
Aunt Hu tried to refuse, but finally couldn't resist Shen Nanzhi and went back with a basket full of snacks, dried fruits and bacon.
After seeing Aunt Hu off, Aunt Shen couldn't help but feel worried. Why was Jiang Chen's ghost still lingering around?
"Do you think he will take revenge on us?"
Shen Nanzhi's smile was a little cold. "It's best not to provoke me, otherwise my methods will not be so gentle."
The old saying is right, it’s better for the ex-husband to be dead.
Shen Nanzhi comforted Shen Bo'niang and went back to his home to find Shen Huai'en. He despised the enemy in his attitude, but took the enemy seriously in his strategy and never underestimated the enemy.
Shen Huai'en was reading a book. Shen Nanzhi unceremoniously sat beside him and held her chin to admire the beauty of her housekeeper. Shen Huai'en's eyes wandered and his ears turned red. He had to put down the book, "Miss, is there something wrong?"
"It's just a small matter. Go read your book and we'll talk after you finish it."
Shen Huai'en sighed. How can you concentrate on reading if you stare at me like that?
"Go ahead."
"Did you know that the bastard Jiang Chen is still haunting us and has returned?"
"I know."
Shen Nanzhi was surprised, "You knew, but you didn't tell me?"
"I don't think it's necessary to talk to you about irrelevant people, so I didn't tell you. It will only make you feel bad. Such dogs are always annoying."
"What Huai En said is so right. He is becoming more and more like the roundworm in my stomach. Why did he come back?"
Shen Huai'en said: "He is currently working in the prefectural government office. He is a low-ranking clerk, but he is still an official.
Do you want to know how he was chosen by the prefect?"
Shen Huai'en rarely kept the secret, so Shen Nanzhi was of course curious. How could a poor scholar, an outsider with a bad reputation, get a job in the prefectural government?
"How did he do that? Did he sell himself to the Yang family? Or did Yang Lingzhao have a love-brained sister who insisted on marrying him?"
Shen Nanzhi's guess was ridiculous, but the truth was even more ridiculous. Shen Huai'en said, "Neither of them. He gave Lin to Yang Lingzhao."
"Ah ha ha……"
Shen Nanzhi was so happy, "How could Lin agree to this? She would follow him even at the cost of her reputation, and this is what happens in the end?"
"I don't know how they operate, but now Lin is Yang Lingzhao's concubine, and he and Yang Lingzhao have a pretty good relationship."
Shen Nanzhi had a look of evil interest on his face. "Of course it's good. We're brothers-in-law now, how can it be bad? Not really. Jiang Chen is already a useless man. He's probably like a eunuch, serving two people in the bridal chamber, haha..."
Shen Huai'en blushed a little because of what she said, but he is still a very innocent boy!
This incident successfully amused Shen Nanzhi, so much so that when he saw Yang Lingzhao and Jiang Chen again, he could not look them in the eye.
This opportunity did not take too long. On the third day after Aunt Hu went back, Yang Lingzhao brought a group of people to Yushu Village, accompanied by Jiang Chen and Village Chief Jiang, as well as some of the prefect's subordinates. They came in a grand procession, like the leaders above going to the countryside for inspection.
Shen Qingshan received them first, and then asked someone to quickly inform Shen Nanzhi that this group of people seemed to have bad intentions.
Shen Nanzhi was so excited, "Are they really here?"
"Of course, they are all at the village chief's house. Go and take a look. Don't let them bully our village chief."
Ordinary people are still very respectful of officials, especially Yang Lingzhao, who was so stern this time and not as gentle as the last time he came, which made the villagers feel uneasy.
"I'll go right away, where's Wynn?"
"I went to town to look for Mr. Yuan early in the morning. He asked me to tell you something, but I forgot. There's no need to keep an eye on him now that he's grown up. Just ignore him."
Shen Nanzhi thought about it and realized that was true. Why is she so clinging to Shen Huai'en recently?
When he arrived at Shen Qingshan's house, he was furious. "This is absolutely impossible. You are going too far!"
Jiang Chen's feminine voice sounded: "Village Chief Shen, this is for the overall consideration. Young Master Yang from the prefecture's family is here in person to provide disaster relief. If your village does not obey the arrangement, think about the consequences."
Shen Qingshan was so angry that he couldn't speak. This bastard definitely did it on purpose.
"What's the arrangement? Let me hear it."
Shen Nanzhi walked in, and the former couple looked at each other, sparks and lightning flew, both of them were angry, and there was a tacit understanding that they wanted to kill each other.
"Isn't this my ex-husband? He is coming back home in glory. Do you want to show off your presence here? I just don't know how you came back in glory? Where is your concubine Lin?"
Jiang Chen's pupils shrank slightly. Why did she mention Lin's? Did she know something?
Yang Lingzhao stared at Shen Nanzhi with an incredulous look on his face: "You are Miss Shen? You have lost so much weight? You have become prettier too. I don't even dare to recognize you."
"Hello, Young Master Yang. It's nice to see you again."
Yang Lingzhao was stunned for a moment: "Well, nice to see you too."
He didn't know that Miss Shen was so happy to see him. Was she also admiring him?
If Shen Nanzhi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be disgusted. Isn't he too narcissistic?
If it weren't for the halo of the prefect's family, a soft and lustful man like him would be considered dirty if he was looked at for even a second.
