Chapter 242: Full Moon Banquet Incident
What Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect was that the people in the Shen family were quite lucky.
They had previously obtained a carriage, food, and silver from Xie Yunche, and originally thought that they could reach their destination safely, but they did not expect that Shen Jiaojiao had already held a grudge against them.
He secretly ordered those vicious refugees to rob them. When the refugees heard that there were not many people and that there were carriages, food, and silver, they robbed the old Shen's house without any hesitation.
Shen Dajiang and Shen Changfeng, because they suddenly had carriages and food, were worried that the people from the mountain village would come to take advantage of them, so they kept their distance from them.
This indirectly led to the fact that when they were surrounded by refugees, no one came to help them.
If a group of soldiers had not passed by in the distance, those people would have stopped for fear of getting into trouble. Otherwise, the whole family might not have been able to keep even the clothes on their backs.
"A sin!"
He Lai Di sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying, "Father-in-law, Chang Feng, did you hear what they just said?"
"Isn't the person they are talking about Shen Jiaojiao? She actually holds a grudge against us!"
"It's fine if we are brother and sister-in-law, but you are still here, father-in-law!"
"Now we have nothing, how are we going to survive as a family?"
"He's fine. He followed the young master and went away to enjoy a good life, leaving us, the whole family, to suffer here."
"Woo woo woo, how could there be such a vicious sister-in-law in the world!"
Just now, he had been beaten in order to protect the food, and his face was already covered with bruises. Now, after hearing what He Lai Di said, the faces of the three men beside him became even uglier.
Fortunately, although there was not much food nearby, if they walked a little further, they would soon reach a place with abundant water. The family was waiting patiently for the Sanli Village team to catch up.
After much persuasion, he stayed in the team and was able to get some food so as not to starve to death.
When they saw a dead body lying on the side of the road, they rushed over and searched the body without hesitation.
By the time they reached a place with abundant water, the family was already starving to the point of skin and bones. They wanted to die countless times along the way, but living was worse than death, and at least they survived and did not die.
But He Lai Di is now vicious to Shen Jiaojiao. Although the other three men didn't say anything, only they themselves know what they are thinking.
……
Shen Li had no idea about their experiences, but she wouldn't care even if she knew. Every evildoer will be punished by his own evil. When the original victim is gone, conflicts will arise in a harmonious family and the family will begin to fall apart from within.
After driving the carriage back to Daohua Village and parking it, someone quickly moved the things in the carriage down. Shen Li then went to find Lin Cuicui and the others with some snacks.
"Mom, I'm back."
Shen Li lifted the curtain, walked into the room, and put the pastries on the table. Lin Cuicui and Li Qiaolan were making clothes. At first glance, she knew they were for her eldest nephew.
"I'm back. Can your third brother come back for the full moon banquet tomorrow?"
"Okay, I've already told the third brother, he will be back tomorrow."
"That's good."
"This is the pastry I brought back. I put it here."
"it is good."
Walking back to my yard, the water in the yard has become clear, and the grass planted around the small pond is also exuding vitality in the winter.
There are no fish in the pond yet. When the weather gets warmer, we will put fish in and plant lotus flowers.
After returning to the house, I thought that after the full moon banquet tomorrow, I would have to go to the store again. The New Year is coming in two days, and I have to distribute the New Year goods to them.
That’s right, Shen Li asked Bai Yao to purchase New Year’s goods for everyone. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. Only by using both kindness and severity can you make them remember.
Early the next morning, the Shen family started to get busy, and even Shen Yuanzhou rushed back from the county early in the morning.
Shen Li looked around and there seemed to be no place where she could intervene. She glanced at today's weather and saw that it was a sunny day.
Shen Changshan, Lin Cuicui and others were busy, so Shen Li simply went out of the backyard and planned to go into the mountains.
But unexpectedly, he saw two sneaky men at the charcoal burning place.
Shen Li had good hearing and listened attentively to what the two men were saying, wanting to know what they were planning.
"Tiezhu, are you sure the things in here can be sold for silver?"
The man named Tiezhu patted his chest and said, "You still don't believe what I said."
His voice couldn't help but get a little louder, but he looked around and lowered his voice again.
"Let me tell you, what's burning here is charcoal. Do you know how much a pound of charcoal costs outside? The cheapest one costs two hundred coins a pound."
"So expensive!"
Tiezhu patted his shoulder and said, "Gousheng, we need to open up the market. The charcoal he uses here is top quality and very expensive!"
"Iron Pillar, how can we take it away? Look, there's still smoke coming out of this chimney."
Tiezhu was speechless, feeling a bit disappointed: "Why take this away? Wouldn't it be better if we could find a way to get the recipe?"
“Besides,” he pointed in the direction of the Shen family’s house, “See? This is the house of his family. There must be a lot of money in the family, hehehe!”
"I understand. Isn't his family having a full moon banquet today? Then let's invite a dozen brothers to come tonight. What we get will be enough for the brothers to splurge for a while."
“Hehe…ah!”
Gousheng was smiling with joy when suddenly a stick flew towards him and he fell asleep with a bang.
"who!"
Tiezhu quickly jumped several steps away and looked around cautiously with his small eyes. This shouldn't be the case. His family had moved everyone to the front yard today. Otherwise, even if he had two guts, he wouldn't dare to plot loudly here!
Then, a girl in a moon-white brocade dress appeared in his sight. She had a cool temperament and excellent looks. But, her eyes looked a little creepy.
"You, what do you want to do?"
It’s no wonder that he is timid. Whose girl’s eyes are so scary? It’s as if the person standing in front of him is not a girl, but a killer.
Shen Li smiled, holding a stick in her hand, "Don't you want to know how to make charcoal?"
Tiezhu was speechless, "You, you are from the Shen family."
"uh-huh."
Then he saw a stick flying straight towards him. He ran forward in a hurry, but the stick seemed to have eyes and landed accurately on his head.
Looking at the two people lying on the ground, today was a good day, so he decided to show mercy and let them go.
She dragged the two people into the mountains. It was quite easy for her, except for the two people at the back who suffered a little.
After entering the mountains, he immediately used his Qinggong skills to jump around on the trees, and from time to time, he could hear two "bang bang" sounds.
After taking a quick look around, he realized that they had already entered the deep mountains and left the two of them in the woods.
Letting them go does not mean sparing their lives. Since they dare to target us, we must be prepared. Whether we can survive today depends on their luck.
