Chapter 286 Fight First and Talk Later
Xu Saifei's expression changed. "They are coming again? Grab your weapons and go!"
Shen Nanzhi didn't ask anything and looked excited. Are they going to fight?
Fighting is good, she loves fighting the most, "Sister Xu, don't worry, I can take on ten of them. I used to be a pig killer, I'll tie up all of them for you."
Shen Desheng covered his face and said, "Keep a low profile. This is someone else's family affair. Don't show up."
Shen Nanzhi was unhappy, "We are living with Sister Xu, we are a family now, and we have to take care of household chores.
Often, outsiders will not bully you, but your family members and relatives will bully you. Not everyone’s family is a relative.”
Will a family love each other?
No, it's more of a fight, and the more ruthless ones are a fight to the death. It's not uncommon for people to be torn to pieces in a fight for family resources.
Xu Saifei nodded. "Sister Shen is right. They used the name of my clan and took advantage of my father's serious illness to force him to give them his property. Then they wanted to control me and control my marriage. I would rather not have such relatives."
That's why she forced Ding Xiangrong to be her son-in-law. As long as she had a husband, there would be a man in the family. Whether he married into the family or gave the family property as a dowry, she could protect her father's life's work.
After listening to this, Shen Nanzhi rolled his eyes at Ding Xiangrong and said, "The girl is in such a difficult situation, and you can still be so cruel as to leave her? People like you deserve to be single for the rest of your life.
Sister Xu, don't be afraid. Look at my cousins. They are all great guys and none of them are married yet. They are all top-notch in terms of looks and figures. Pick any one of them and I guarantee they will treat you well."
Shen Desheng and the others blushed, "Cousin, don't talk nonsense."
"You don't want to fight for such a good girl. You won't be able to eat shit in time. You deserve to be single."
Everyone: "..."
It's no wonder that the young men in the Shen family all secretly looked at Xu Saifei. Although she was a bit tough and not as gentle as a girl, farmers wanted someone who was capable and could support a family, so it was better if she was strong.
Many people were attracted, including Shen Desheng. He didn't know about this situation before and didn't dare to look at her for too long. Now he thinks she is really good.
"Miss Xu, don't worry, the men in our Shen family will help you."
After saying that, he blushed and walked out with Shen Nanzhi in his arms, "Let's go and get rid of them. Bullying a girl is simply inhumane. Don't hold back. Break their legs. I've broken a lot of legs recently. I'm familiar with this job."
Xu Saifei's eyes lit up and she felt a little shy. What Sister Shen said made sense.
He subconsciously glanced at Ding Xiangrong. He had a dazed look on his face and looked a little uncomfortable. This was his fiancée.
Xu Saifei coughed, straightened her expression and chased after him, trying not to break her legs. After all, he was a member of the tribe, and she couldn't have a reputation of being cruel.
The door was opened, and before the Xu family members could say anything, Shen Nanzhi grabbed a big broom and hit them one by one. "Breaking the door in broad daylight, are you a robber? Do you really think there is no man in the family, so you can bully them?"
The big broom left a bloody mark on his face when it was wiped, and it was burning with pain. Shen Nanzhi was very strong and his clothes were torn by them.
"Stop it, who are you? Why are you hitting someone?"
The Xu family was so angry. Where did this man come from? He was not the previous son-in-law, who was much more fierce than him.
She is quite pretty, but she is so cruel.
Shen Nanzhi took the lead and said, "Now find someone who can speak human language. Why are you smashing people's doors?"
One of the oldest men stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? This is our Xu family's internal affairs. It is not the turn of outsiders to interfere."
"You are really shameless to bully others in the name of family affairs. I'm sorry. I'm Miss Xu's new sworn brother. The Xu family's affairs are my affairs. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"This……"
Suddenly, a brother appeared. Chief Xu was so angry that he blew his beard: "You want to be this brother, have you asked our clan?"
"I don't need to ask you. My sister just needs to admit it. From now on, I will protect my sister. If anyone dares to bully her, I will skin you alive!"
"Where did you come from? You are a bandit and a bully. We are going to sue you in the government."
Shen Nanzhi is not afraid of this, "Okay, let's go now. Whoever doesn't dare to go to the government is a coward. We have to go.
Let the county magistrate take a look. A group of grown men are smashing a girl’s door. Is there any safety in this county?
Who is the bandit and bully after all? Let the county magistrate punish him.
Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yang Lingzhao, and my father is the prefect. What is the name of your county magistrate? Maybe we will know each other when we meet."
The Xu family members' faces changed drastically; it turned out to be the prefect's son.
Shen Nanzhi crossed her arms, raised her chin with an arrogant look on her face. Yang Lingzhao's reputation was very useful. It would work if she used it once, and it would work if she used it twice. She might as well use it to the end.
The Xu clan leader was timid but said, "You are abusing your power for personal gain. The son of a prefect cannot bully others."
"Yoho, you also know that you can't bully others, so what are you all doing here?"
The Xu clan leader had no choice but to give in: "We are here to borrow food. Xu Yulin is the richest in the Xu family and should help the clan members to tide over the difficulties."
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone begging for help so arrogantly. Are you begging for help? People who don't know would think you're robbing. Wait, I'll ask my sister. If she's willing to help you, I'll have nothing to say. But if she's not willing, whoever dares to act wildly, I won't let him survive this winter."
So many disaster victims died of starvation and freezing, and it doesn’t matter if there are just a few inhuman old people like these.
Shen Nanzhi closed the door quickly. They were so angry that they were shaking all over and didn't even see Xu Saifei.
After staring at each other for a while, Chief Xu said, "Just wait."
If she was unwilling to help her clansmen, the Xu family's many members would not be pushovers and would make it difficult for her to drink.
Xu Saifei was watching from behind, a look of surprise written all over his face. How could it be like this?
Shen Nanzhi came back and said, "Go back to the house and tell them not to get cold. Girls are so delicate and need to be taken care of carefully. Leave the fighting to the men."
"Thank you, brother."
Xu Saifei's eyes were red. If she had such a good brother, why would she have suffered so much grievance?
Ding Xiangrong saw that her eyes were red and she looked a bit weak and gentle, which was very different from her previous fierce appearance. He felt a little moved in his heart, thinking that she also needed others' care and was not always strong and fierce.
If Shen Nanzhi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely spit in his face. Which girl would like to be fierce and strong? Isn't this just being forced by life and having no choice?
After returning to the room and refilling the tea, Shen Nanzhi took a few sips of tea and said, "Now let's talk about your family's situation. Let's solve it from the root cause.
The use of force can only make those tribesmen willing to sit down and reason. We are in the initiative. Force is not omnipotent."
Shen Nanzhi is brave and resourceful, and Xu Saifei has gentle eyes. It would be great if she were really a man. He would definitely do everything he could to marry her.
"Alas, originally these people were quite good, but my father has been ill since the beginning of winter, and his health has been getting worse day by day. They gradually changed and showed greedy faces. Because my family has no male heirs, they want to occupy my restaurant and control my life. I will never let them succeed."
"It's not uncommon to see your father die. What's wrong with him?"
"It's a cough. The doctor said it's tuberculosis. It's hard to say whether I can survive this winter. Now I can only take medicine to keep myself healthy."
Xu Saifei had a sad face. What would she do when her father left and she was left alone?
"Everyone, please go away. I will accompany Sister Xu to visit Master Xu."
Shen Desheng arranged for people to patrol and comforted Xu Saifei: "My Nanzhi is the smartest. She will definitely be able to help you. Don't be sad."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Shen Desheng left with a red face. Ding Xiangrong was so angry that he chased after him and asked him, "What do you mean? Do you want to steal my woman?"
Shen Desheng ignored him: "Don't you dislike her and don't recognize this marriage? I am helping you, how can I rob her?
Ding Xiangrong, you are such a ungrateful person. The Xu Family Restaurant has helped you a lot. Now they are in trouble. How do you repay them?
We have been different people since we were young, and we can't pee in the same pot. If you are really a man, you should be open and let Miss Xu go. Don't act so sour and make people look down on you."
Ding Xiangrong was speechless. He did feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Shen Desheng didn't indulge him and pushed him away to do his work.
Although he may not be able to do other things, he can still help Miss Xu take care of the house and protect her safety.
Shen Nanzhi went to the main courtyard and met Master Xu. His face was blue, his lips were pale, and he looked very ill. Shen Nanzhi had a bad feeling in his heart that he really didn't have much time left.
"Dad, are you feeling better?"
Master Xu asked worriedly, "What's going on outside? Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, father, take good care of yourself. Don't worry, your daughter can handle it."
Master Xu sighed: "Ah, I'm sorry for wronging you. Father should have arranged a husband for you earlier so that you wouldn't be delayed..., cough cough..."
Shen Nanzhi took out the medicine from the space. It was the medicine she drank when she had a cough before. She hoped it would be useful. "Master Xu, try this medicine. This was given to me by a wandering Taoist priest. He saved my life. I hope it will be useful."
"This young man is..."
"I am Miss Xu's friend. My father is the prefect. With me here, no one dares to bully her."
Master Xu asked cautiously, "Young Master of the Prefectural Government? How do you know my daughter? What do you want to do?"
He was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would use this as a way to repay his kindness and force his daughter to do something against him. Mr. Xu would rather not have her medicine than let his daughter be threatened by him.
Xu Saifei said, "Sister Shen, please go out first. I will go and persuade my father."
Shen Nanzhi shrugged. It was boring to be exposed. "Okay, you guys can talk slowly. Just take this medicine directly, three times a day. If there is improvement, I will give you another one. If not, I will change the medicine."
