Looking at the smile on her face, Shen Yao suddenly leaned closer and kissed her cheek gently.
Ji Zhao shyly averted her gaze and coughed lightly. “Let’s… let’s go?
‘Okay.”
The two of them held hands and walked out of the door with a smile.
At this moment, in the second room of the west room, Second Sister-in-law Shen applied medicine for Second Brother Shen with a pained expression. Looking at his swollen palm, she could not help but cry.
‘Qingqing, I was the one who was beaten up. Why are you crying?” Second Brother Shen hurriedly wiped her tears and coaxed anxiously.
‘What do you think!” Second Sister-in-law Shen pinched his arm angrily and cried even harder. “Do you still remember what you said when you married me back then? You said that you would treat me well for the rest of your life and not make me sad! What happened in the end?”
Second Brother Shen felt even more guilty. ‘Qingqing, I’m sorry.”
“Hmph!” The more Second Sister-in-law Shen thought about it, the angrier she became. She pinched his ear and questioned again, “If you dare to go to a place like the Wind and Moon Restaurant behind my back again, I’ll divorce you! Do you believe that I’ll bring Zhuangzhuang to remarry and let him call another man ‘Father?”
‘Qingqing, don’t talk nonsense!” Second Brother Shen grabbed her arm anxiously. “You can’t say that. I’ll really be sad.”
Second Sister-in-law Shen crossed her arms and glared at him angrily without saying a word.
‘Qingqing, it really hurts…” Second Brother Shen raised his terrible right hand at her. He looked like a stray dog.
‘Serves you right!” Second Sister-in-law Shen complained in a low voice. Then, she picked up the ointment and applied it on his wound seriously. “Ah Tao said earlier that as long as you apply this caterpillar fungus ointment every day, your hand will recover quickly.”
‘Mm.” Second Brother Shen freed his other hand to hug Second Sister-in-law Shen. He buried his head in her neck and rubbed it gently. “Honey, I really know my mistake. I won’t make such a mistake again.’
‘Honey, that Brother Wu treated you very well?”
‘Yes.” Second Brother Shen sighed softly. “Brother Wu, he’s kind-hearted. Unfortunately…’
‘After the new year, I’ll accompany you to pay my respects to him,” Second Sister-in-law Shen said with a determined expression. “Honey, in my heart, you didn’t really do anything wrong. It’s only right for you to repay kindness. Besides, I believe in you. You’re definitely not the kind of lecher who will linger around brothels.”
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Second Sister-in-law Shen was gluttonous, willful, and even a little talkative.
But in Shen Zhang’s eyes, she was his wife, the best wife.
‘Qingqing, thank you.” Second Brother Shen hugged her waist tightly. The feelings that surged from his heart were indescribable.
After walking for an hour, Ji Zhao was already panting.
She glanced at Shen Yao beside her and could not help but sigh. “The difference between people is really big. We’ve walked so much, but you’re not even sweating or panting?
‘Ah Tao, you can’t walk anymore?” Shen Yao tapped the tip of her nose dotingly and asked gently, “Why don’t I carry you?
‘Alright!” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly.
Shen Yao carried her on his back, his steps still steady and strong.
‘Shen Yao, look at that tree in the distance!”
The warm sunlight landed on the plum blossom tree that was filled with snow, reflecting a resplendent light.
A breeze blew over, and the white snow and red plum blossoms fell from the branches.
That scenery was as beautiful as a painting.
“Isn’t it especially beautiful?” Ji Zhaoyao looked at the scenery in the distance and praised in a low voice.
Shen Yao subconsciously glanced sideways and happened to see Ji Zhao’s gentle side profile.
To him, the most beautiful scenery was the beauty lying on his back.
‘Yes, it’s beautiful.”
After walking for another hour, Shen Yao’s forehead was covered in sweat.
‘We’re here!”
Ji Zhao immediately jumped down from his back, but her movements were too quick and she almost sprained her ankle. Fortunately, Shen Yao was quick to hold her. “Slow down.”
‘Got iæ’ Ji Zhao chuckled, then hurriedly walked towards the deep pit not far away. “It’s here.”
The two of them stared at the deep pit that had already frozen. For a moment, they were in a dilemma.
“1 miscalculated.” Ji Zhao slowly squatted down and stared at the ice surface. She was a little worried. “The weather hasn’t been very bright these past few days. There’s snow almost every day. Even if we pry open the ice surface and take out the bag inside, I’m afraid the items inside have long been soaked in ice, right?”
‘We have to give it a try first.” Shen Yao searched the vicinity for a while before finding a sharp stone. “Ah Tao, stand further away. I’ll dig through the ice first.’
‘Okay.”
Just as Shen Yao was seriously chiseling the ice, Shen Dashan and Eldest Brother Shen rushed over.
‘Third Brother, Ah Tao?” Shen Dashan carried the shovel and came to the two of them. “What are you doing?
“Father, Big Brother?”
When Ji Zhao saw the shovel in Shen Dashan’s hand, her eyes lit up!
She silently gave Shen Dashan a thumbs up. Indeed, the older you were, the more experience you had!
‘Let’s cut open the ice first and see if we can find Second Brother’s bag.” Shen Dashan let out a sigh of disappointment.
He was in a fit of anger this morning, which was why he had punished his son.
Which parent didn’t trust their children?
Moreover, Shen Dashan knew his three sons very well.
Therefore, after his anger dissipated, he wanted to come over with his eldest son to look around. Perhaps he could find Second Brother’s bag.
‘Since your second brother has been entrusted by Miss Fengdie, the three of us will think of a way to help your second brother find that bag! After all, among the three of you, your second brother’s head is the simplest.’
The eldest son was a businessman and was smart. The third son knew how to read and was also very smart.
Only Second Brother was simple-minded and innocent.
As an old father, he could only worry more.
Achoo—
Second Brother Shen, who was drinking soup, could not help but sneeze!
Who was thinking about him in the middle of winter?
After the efforts of the Shen family’s three men, the ice on the deep pit was finally pried open, and Second Brother Shen’s bag was pulled out.
‘Why is it so heavy?” Shen Dashan immediately frowned. He carried the bag with both hands and got into the carriage. “Eldest son, you drive the carriage.”
‘Okay!”
When the group returned to the Shen residence, it was already close to noon.
Zhao Lanhua was busy in the kitchen. When she heard the sound of the wheels, she hurriedly came out to welcome him. She did not even put down the spatula in her hand. “Honey, have you found it?”
‘Yeah.’
Shen Dashan nodded. “1 found it.”
The family walked into the central room again.
When Second Brother Shen looked at the bag that he had lost and regained, his eyes were already red.
“Father, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, and Third Sister-in-law, thank you so much.’
‘Alright, let’s not talk about this as a family,” Shen Dashan said with a tense face. ‘This bag is heavy. Open it and see if you’ve missed anything inside.’
‘Okay.”
As Second Brother Shen opened the bag, the contents of the bag appeared in front of the Shen family..
