When Yu arrived at the second room of the Shen family, the gate was not closed and the woodworking boxes that Shen Zhuo brought were placed in a mess in the yard and were not confiscated.

In the room, Shen Zhuo had just finished coaxing her husband into hugging him when she heard someone shouting in the yard.

"Xiao Zhuo, are you home? Why don't you keep this thing? What if someone takes it away with you?" Yu picked up the carpentry box and walked into the house consciously.

The couple had just come out of the house. Jiang Xuerui's eyes were still red, as if she had been crying.

When Shen Zhuo saw that it was Yu, he didn't know what to say. Although Yu was mean, his elder brother was very kind to him. For the sake of his elder brother, he should be a little nice to Yu.

"Sister-in-law, please come in and sit down." Shen Zhuo took the carpentry box and let her in.

Jiang Xuerui silently took a stool for her to sit on, but did not call anyone. He still remembered clearly the unpleasantness with Yu last time. If it were not for the sake of Shen Zhuo and his elder brother, he would not even bother to take the stool.

"Is Rui'er still angry with his sister-in-law?" Yu sat down, glanced at Jiang Xuerui with a sidelong glance, and hummed a smile through her nose.

Jiang Xuerui's eyes were red and she said nothing.

"Brother Rui must be frightened. Please forgive me, sister-in-law. I'll get you some water." Shen Zhuo felt a headache when he saw that the two people were incompatible and neither of them paid any attention to the other, so he gave in for Jiang Xuerui.

His sister-in-law is very persistent and unreasonable, and if she continues like this, I'm afraid her husband will be the one who suffers.

"You don't have to go." Seeing that Shen Zhuo was quite attentive to her, Yu's face finally looked better. "Ask Rui Ge'er to go. I have something to say to you..."

Jiang Xuerui was of course unwilling, but could not stand Shen Zhuo's nagging gaze, so she went to the kitchen in silence.

"Xiao Zhuo, I'm not saying anything bad about you," Yu continued, "you should also discipline Rui Ge'er!"

Shen Zhuo was completely confused... He married his husband to spoil him so why did he bring up the issue of disciplining him? What's more, his husband was not only a little rude to his eldest sister-in-law - but also because he felt sorry for the suffering he had gone through.

There is nothing wrong with the rest.

Although he knew it, Shen Zhuo didn't dare to refute... lest she get even more excited.

"But Rui Ge did something wrong. I will apologize to sister-in-law on his behalf." Shen Zhuo said.

Yu sighed, "It's secondary to me... It's mainly because of Liu Laosan's matter!"

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?" Shen Zhuo's expression suddenly became serious.

Yu said earnestly, "Hey, you don't know yet, Rui Ge'er has been very close to Yan Ge'er, the husband of the idiot Huo family on the other side of the river!"

Shen Zhuo frowned, "I know what sister-in-law said."

But what does the evil deeds done by Liu Laosan have to do with Yan Ge'er?

Yu knew at a glance that he didn't understand what she meant, and said anxiously: "What do you know! When Huo Jiayan came, he seduced two men to almost fight over him. Isn't he just a vixen?! You even asked Rui to get involved with him! I think Rui probably learned Liu Laosan's affairs from the vixen..."

"Sister-in-law! What do you mean by this?!" Before she could finish her words, Jiang Xuerui, who came in with water, heard everything and became furious.

My hands were unsteady and the water with a little sugar in it spilled onto the ground.

Yu was startled and felt a little guilty, "Why are you yelling at me? If you weren't a good person and didn't learn bad things, would this happen?! You're still right!"

Jiang Xuerui's eyes were filled with tears, and she threw the cup to the ground. "How could my sister-in-law say such a thing..."

"Arui." At this time, Shen Zhuo stood up and pulled Jiang Xuerui over. "Don't cry. I'll tell her to go wash your face... Don't worry."

Jiang Xuerui bit her lip, but still believed in Shen Zhuo.

After seeing him leave, Yu dared to curse, "How dare you lose your temper at me, you little vixen..."

"Sister-in-law!" Shen Zhuo interrupted her, "I'm going to make things clear to you today! How you used to bully me and Rui Ge'er, how you cursed me behind my back... I can tolerate all this for the sake of my elder brother, but regarding the matter of Liu Lao San, I hope you can understand it clearly! Rui Ge'er and Yan Ge'er did nothing wrong in this matter!"

Yu was frightened for a moment. Shen Zhuo continued, "Don't you know who Liu Lao San is? Or what? He had evil intentions when he saw I was not at home. But my sister-in-law dared not say a word in front of that scumbag, and instead came back to criticize Rui Ge'er! How can this be justified in this world?!"

Yu's face turned red from being scolded, and she was about to use her strength to curse, but Shen Zhuo opened the door with a "bang" and pointed outside, saying:

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to make a fuss here! For my brother's sake, I'm willing to call you now, but I may not be able to say that again if we meet in the future... My Shen family doesn't welcome you to come, sister-in-law, go back!"

It was the first time that Yu saw Shen Zhuo like this, and she was a little frightened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, "Okay! Okay! You took my kindness for granted, you've grown wings, haven't you... Don't forget who raised you!"

I thought Shen Zhuo would give in as usual when I mentioned this, but he was not moved at all and didn't even look at her.

Yu Shi tried her best but to no avail. What she did try was like hitting cotton with a fist. In the end, she could only cry out:

"Very good, very good! I'll go and ask that coward Shen Dingshan to come and see how his good brother and sister-in-law bully his wife!"

Yu looked at Shen Zhuo while crying, and when she saw that he didn't respond, she was completely helpless. She jumped up and rushed out of the courtyard, determined to have a big fight with Shen Dingshan...

In the yard, Jiang Xuerui washed her face, stunned... It turns out that Shen Zhuo would also lose his temper?

"Arui, come here, don't just stand there in the sun." Shen Zhuo stood in the house and waved to him.

Jiang Xuerui nodded, walked in and asked Shen Zhuo to wipe his hands, "I'm afraid my sister-in-law will make trouble when she goes back..."

"Who cares what she does? She can do whatever she wants!" Shen Zhuo held his face and said seriously, "Don't take that crazy woman's words to heart. Liu Laosan's matter has nothing to do with you and Yan Ge'er. From now on, you can play with whoever you want... Do you understand?"

Jiang Xuerui nodded, "Don't worry. But this time, it's all thanks to Yan Ge'er and Er Dan, we have to thank them."

Shen Zhuo smiled and rubbed his red eyes, "I know this, you don't have to worry about it."

On the Huo family's side, Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan had just returned home.

All the members of the Ye family went to the county to take turns to take care of Ye Bao, but the chickens and ducks at home needed food, so when Huo Xiuling left, she asked Huo's father to help take care of them.

So there were only the couple in the Huo family. They were so busy going to the village entrance to serve as witnesses early in the morning that they didn't even have time to eat. It was already noon when they started to prepare food.

Huo sat under the stove, lighting a fire, with a pot of water in it. Huo's father had eaten before leaving, so Gu Fengyan planned to cook some plain noodles for the two of them to eat.

"Don't want any onions or garlic?" Gu Fengyan was preparing the soup base. He remembered that Huo Duan would pick out the onions and garlic during their meals in the past, so he confirmed it again.

Huo Duan thought about something and nodded, "Less salt, no onions or garlic, no egg white..."

"Hey, are you so picky? How did it grow so big?" Gu Fengyan carefully filtered out the egg white before putting the egg into the pot.

Huo Duan smiled and did not refute, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Then he said, "By the way, I have something in mind and want to discuss it with you."

"You say." Gu Fengyan put the noodles into the pot and looked at him.

Huo Duan used a small stick to write and draw on the ground, "Our medicinal materials business has a huge demand from Xinglinyuan, but it takes a long time to prepare the medicinal materials with just the two of us..."

He looked up and smiled, "Besides, I don't mind. I just feel sorry for you, Master Gu. I'm afraid you can't handle the sun and rain. I was thinking that except for the men in the village who have to take care of the fields and go to the county to work, the rest of the brothers and sisters-in-law can only embroider, and they may not even make money... It's a bit of a waste of labor."

Hearing him say that he felt sorry for me, Gu Fengyan smiled, "You still feel sorry for me?"

Huo Duan's face was a little hot, and he quickly changed the subject, "Ahem... I was thinking that we should wait until this batch of herbs is sold and then hire villagers to help harvest them... What do you think, Mr. Gu?"

"Mr. Huo and I have the same idea. I heard Aunt Zhang say on the mountain that most people in the village know how to prepare medicinal herbs, but they just don't know how to prepare them... This is an opportunity." Gu Fengyan scooped up the noodles and put an egg on them.

Handing the bowl with only egg yolk to Huo Duan, he said, "Not eating vegetables is bad for your health, so I added some vegetables for you...but you have to choose carefully when hiring someone."

He didn't want to hire people like Zhao and Yu who were overconfident and had bad skills and were gossipy and troublesome.

Huo Duan nodded, "We'll discuss this tomorrow after we go to the county to buy medicinal herbs... Let's eat first."

Gu Fengyan also picked up the egg yolk in the bowl and gave it to Huo Duan. "This batch of medicinal herbs has a large quantity... Ye Bao will be back tonight, and I'm afraid I'll have to ask my uncle and big brother for help tomorrow."

"I'll go tell him, just keep the herbs." Huo Duan took a bite of the egg yolk...it was his favorite soft-boiled egg.

As he was speaking, someone called out from outside the door.

Two people came out with bowls in their hands. It turned out to be Shen Zhuo, who was carrying a brand new eight-immortal table on his shoulders.

Huo Duan quickly put down the bowl and helped put it down, "Has Second Brother Shen eaten? What are you doing..."

"I've eaten." Shen Zhuo took two breaths and patted the table. "This table is made of walnut wood, very solid. It was originally ordered by the Xue family at the entrance of the village. I saw that your table was a little broken, so I brought it to you first... Thank you for helping A Rui."

Gu Fengyan just remembered that he and Mr. and Mrs. Shen used the same rotten table when they had dinner together last time... He didn't expect that he actually remembered it.

"Brother Shen, you are too polite. This table is worth a lot of money. How can we explain to the Xue family if you give it to us? Take it back quickly!" It seemed that the item took a lot of time to make, so how could Gu Fengyan dare to take it?

Shen Zhuo waved his hand, "If I say accept it, then accept it. It's just a table. I have some wood, so I can make another one... If you don't accept it, don't even think about asking me to do work for you next time."

After saying this he strode away as if there was a wolf behind him.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan had no choice but to leave their things behind and stood in the yard shouting, "Thank you, Second Brother Shen. Bring Rui Ge'er over to visit us some other day."

Although the villagers are talkative, they are very sincere and will remember if you are kind to them. In return, if you pick a bunch of vegetables from the fields that are too abundant to eat for them and give them to them, they will serve you a bowl of their homemade dishes.

Completely different from the treacherous business world, the two presidents sighed silently at the same time, and their mentality suddenly became like that of an eighty-year-old man holding a cup of tea, feeling that time is peaceful and quiet.
