Chapter 203: Kissing Around
"No, no, don't worry, uncle. We won't do such childish things as you hitting me and I hitting you." Shen Lingzhu and his uncle looked at each other and waved their hands repeatedly.
Chang Youzhuang said, "Then what should we do? It's not a good idea to be on guard all the time."
Shen Lingzhu smiled wickedly: "Just tell the Miao kid about what happened in Lotus Alley."
Chang Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her words: "Little Xing'er and the illegitimate son raised by Miao Sili?"
"Grandpa, you... know a lot." As if he and Xiao Zhuzi had a tacit understanding, Chang Youzhuang looked at this and that.
Chang Xin was looked at by his grandson like this, and suddenly something occurred to him, "Xiao Zhuzi, how did you know?"
"My uncle showed us brothers and sisters a lot of things, and also explained the intricacies of it." Shen Lingzhu did not hide it.
Chang Xin: "When Wu Huai encounters problems, will he take you with him to teach you?"
"Yeah." Sometimes, Shen Lingzhu felt that his uncle was very open-minded.
Chang Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Who are you going to talk to about this?"
"Close to his family." Shen Lingzhu kept it a secret, then quickly changed the subject: "Grandpa, have lunch here today."
"No, no, I have a lot of things to do.
I'll let you, Brother Youzhuang, stay and give you a hand." Chang Xin decided to talk to his nephew about letting Youzhuang learn from him, since his own shop was not too busy after all.
He had already stood up, so Shen Lingzhu didn't force him to stay. She filled a basket of vegetables and put it in the car. She and her uncle escorted him out of the alley.
Then Uncle Huang said, "Let's go find him after lunch. He's busy now and can't get away."
"Uncle Huang, who is he?" Chang Youzhuang was quite curious.
His doubts were not answered until after lunch, because he was taken to the door of Master Cai's house.
When they knocked on the door, they found out that it was Cai Yuansheng's wife. Seeing Shen Lingzhu holding the gift box, she slammed the door shut and said, "My boss hasn't come back yet."
"Auntie, I'm looking for you." Shen Lingzhu knocked on the door gently again.
The woman said, "I'm busy. You've always punished me as the head of the household. I'm already showing my magnanimity by not giving you any trouble."
In fact, she was even more angry with her husband because he was fooled by her brother-in-law every time, and each time was different.
If the little girl from the Shen family hadn't beaten him so badly that he was seriously injured, he would have wanted to thank her.
Outside the door, Shen Lingzhu didn't hear her footsteps leaving, so she stuck to the door and said, "Auntie, please be generous. I'm here to apologize to you.
Besides, the reason I'm looking for you today isn't about Uncle Cai, it's about your sister."
"My sister?" Although her brother-in-law was not a good person, her sister was her biological mother. The woman opened the door, looked at the three of them and said, "What's wrong with her? Isn't she taking care of someone in the clinic?"
Shen Lingzhu felt a little guilty about wanting to take advantage of someone, "Aunt, can I go in and talk? Look, there are so many people coming and going here, it's not convenient to talk about something."
"Only you can come in." The woman thought about it and agreed, but there was only her and her mother-in-law at home, and she did not allow Huang Zongqi and Chang Youzhuang to come in.
Shen Lingzhu nodded in agreement and just took a step inside with the gift in hand when the woman said, "Don't bring anything in either."
"It's not for you, it's for the old lady. After all, we are relatives.
My cousin calls the old lady "Grandma," and I am also a junior. "Shen Lingzhu did not retreat but advanced.
The woman chuckled twice: "You are a distant relative, and the Cai family doesn't care about you, but you come here to claim kinship with me."
It’s all because of my husband’s incompetence. He had a good grasp of carpentry, but he gave it up because he listened to his brother-in-law. He then learned cooking for more than ten years, but he still couldn’t open a restaurant.
"Hehe, even a distant relative is still a relative. You can't visit the elders empty-handed." Shen Lingzhu still entered the gate carrying the gift.
Not long after the door closed, Chang Youzhuang said, "Uncle Huang, her attitude makes people suspicious."
"It's best to see it." Huang Zongqi said this, and many people in Chang Youzhuang were puzzled.
After paying respects to the old lady, Shen Lingzhu said to the woman, "I believe you have also heard that my donkey stepped on Miao Sili.
Later, his son, your nephew, came to my house, and to prevent him from causing trouble again, I planned to find him some work."
When the woman frowned, she spoke faster: "But this matter is good for both him and my aunt's sister."
"Oh, you are worthy of being the child of a Jinshi family. You can even say something so unusual when you are looking for trouble for others." The woman didn't know that there was a high-sounding word that could specifically describe Shen Lingzhu's behavior.
Following Shen Lingzhu's next sentence: "Miao Sili, who lives in the eighth household in Lianhua Hutong, has a mistress."
Her expression changed. "Really?"
"Not only that, but the concubine also has a five-year-old boy, and Miao Sili has many things under her control.
Sixty percent of the money he earned was in the hands of his mistresses. This included his aunt's camphorwood chest, wedding dress, and jewelry.
This made Shen Lingzhu and his sister hate him deeply. Even if Miao Sili had been used by his wife or pawned, their family would not be so angry.
"You son of a bitch! I knew he was no good." The woman gritted her teeth, then realized, "How do you know so much?"
"In the house over there, there is a doorman, a maid, and two maids serving.
When there are many people, there will be many gossips." Shen Lingzhu would not tell her who the informant was.
The woman turned and walked towards the yard. Shen Lingzhu chased after her and said, "Aunt, when you tell them about the mother and son, it's best to ask them to remain restrained and not cause any deaths."
"Oh, just a concubine." The woman quickly walked to her mother-in-law's room and said she would go out for a while, then turned around and opened the door.
Shen Lingzhu followed her outside, watching her walk faster and faster, and said to the two people waiting in the alley, "It's done. However, it's best to go to the lotus pond and have two people watch over it.
We just want to distract the Miao people and don't want anyone to die."
"I'll go and borrow someone from Mr. He, and Youzhuang will take Xiao Zhuzi home.
I might go along." Uncle Huang agreed and quickly took action.
When Shen Lingzhu and Chang Youzhuang were walking slowly home, they met Cai Yuansheng who was coming back from work.
As soon as he saw the Shen family, he subconsciously dodged, but Shen Lingzhu was sharp-eyed and still pulled him out from behind the crowd and told him where his wife was.
Cai Yuansheng was a little annoyed: "What did you say to her? Why did you let a woman like her get involved?"
When he heard today that his brother-in-law's leg was broken by someone's donkey, he quickly asked for leave to go and find out, and it turned out to be Miss Shen.
"I said, if you want to get rid of the Miao family, please stop targeting my family, okay?" Ever since the Shen family's bellows business was getting better and better and they started selling food last year, my brother-in-law started distancing himself from me.
Shen Lingzhu said: "You are the closest people to him besides the Miao clan.
Are you sure you want to keep telling me that if you don’t go and keep an eye on your aunt, she just found out about Lotus Hutong…”
Before she could finish her words, Cai Yuansheng cursed her and turned to go to the clinic to find his wife.
This silly daughter-in-law, don't follow her and her sister to fight against the concubine's house. They are alone and weak.
