Chapter 243: People Can't Seek Death
Shen Huai'en left without noticing Shen Nanzhi's cold expression. He sighed softly, locked the door and entered the space.
This time she didn't rush to work, but stared at the huge space in a daze. She noticed that Shen Huai'en was abnormal.
All good things must come to an end, and it seems that Shen Huai'en will just be a passer-by in her life.
She felt inexplicably lonely. How could she go on here?
In her previous life, both her parents lived very long lives. Thanks to modern good medical conditions, they both passed away peacefully in their nineties. At that time, she herself was almost seventy years old, a true old lady.
Without the company of his parents and the sense of accomplishment brought by his career, he set up this farm to make his later years less lonely.
People are afraid of loneliness, so she raised so many animals and hired many people from nearby villages to work. She also hired college students who graduated from veterinary medicine. She wanted to have some young and energetic faces, which made her happy to see them.
Later, more graduates from agricultural universities will come to take care of the crops or research topics that interest them. Shen Nanzhi has so much money, and as long as they make him happy, he won't feel bad about spending it.
These young people are trying to please an old lady like me, so isn't it normal for me to spend some money?
This is also a kind of transaction.
My friends even laughed at me, thinking that I was trying to get married quickly, but I swear to God that’s not the case. I really don’t have the ability but the will. She is lonely, but she also wants to live longer. She can’t seek death, right?
The little lamb jumped over, rubbed against her palm, and bleated as if calling for its mother. Shen Nanzhi's heart moved. She could raise several children.
I never had a mother in my previous life, and I felt very regretful when I got old. Even when my parents passed away, I was still worried and anxious that no one would be there to see them off.
Now that she is so young and has the advantage of space, why can't she raise a few children to make her life more fulfilling?
Raising someone else's child already has its own shadows, so it would be more intimate to have your own child, right?
I've seen a lot in my previous life. My friends raised their children to be spoiled and ignorant, but as they grew older, the rebellious period passed and they gradually became better. They all looked very happy, which made Shen Nanzhi really envious and jealous.
Children are inheritance. With children, your hard work will be more meaningful.
When Shen Nanzhi thought about it this way, his mind suddenly became clear. The connection between bloodlines is the meaning of human continuation.
She didn't care so much about Shen Huai'en's departure, but she wanted to see if Shen Huai'en would be an ungrateful person. If he left without saying goodbye, then don't blame her for being a bad person.
After thinking all this through, Shen Nanzhi became more energetic and took care of the space himself. Seeing the cotton growing luxuriantly and about to bloom, he was very happy. He knew that in ten days at most, he would be able to harvest countless cotton.
The number of other crops has been reduced accordingly. Except for corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are no longer planted. In the future, the crops grown in the village will be enough and there will be no need to waste land.
She changed to planting wheat on a large scale, giving part of the food to the villagers as seeds and storing the rest, so she never had too much food.
If there are enough, brewing wine can bring more wealth in the future, so it will be a win-win situation.
She also wanted to grow rice, but this was the north, and large quantities of rice would attract the attention of those in power and easily cause trouble, so it was better to be cautious.
After a night, Shen Nanzhi had calmed herself down as usual. No one noticed her struggle and discomfort last night. She was still as energetic, optimistic and cheerful as ever.
"Today is Mrs. Zhu's banquet, Huai En, how are the gifts prepared?"
Shen Huai'en said: "Everything is ready, do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, we are all women, what are you going to do? This time I will follow the ladies' route, wait for my good news."
"Okay, young lady, if you come forward, they will definitely be willing to spend their family fortune to support the construction of our academy."
"I love to hear that. Help Liao Baojia prepare the spicy hot pot at home. Tell me if you need anything and I'll find a way."
"Don't worry, young lady. The raw materials for the milk tea are ready and have been sent to the Zhu family."
"I trust you to do the job."
Shen Huai'en added: "I also bought the latest winter clothes from Jinxiufang. Girl, change your clothes. Don't be too plain."
"I didn't expect this. Clothes make the man. We dress decently to show respect to the owner."
She also had to put on her jewelry. Shen Nanzhi went back to her room to dress herself up, and it took her more than an hour to come out. This was already a short time. In her previous life, she had to take a whole day to prepare for an important ball.
From head to toe, inside and out, they demand the most exquisiteness and perfection. It is more tiring than negotiating a business deal, but the key is that even if it’s tiring, they still enjoy it. For the sake of beauty, any woman is willing to devote the most energy and time.
Shen Huai'en dealt with household matters and some posts from other gentlemen, and waited for the girls to reply.
Seeing Shen Nanzhi dressed up and coming out, his eyes lit up and he showed a rare look of amazement: "The girl is so beautiful dressed like this."
The jewelry she used was the diamond crown she bought in her previous life. Just wearing it on her bun was very dazzling. The earrings of the same style, matched with her elegant makeup, really achieved simplicity yet not simplistic, which attracted people to her at first sight.
She wore a gold bracelet inlaid with rubies on her wrist, which showed her nobleness.
"Not bad, girl? I'm just too lazy to dress up. If I want to impress everyone, I won't lose to anyone. But this is a dinner party at someone's house, so I have to be low-key. I'm leaving now."
"Well, slow down on the road."
"knew."
Shen Nanzhi left in a hurry. Shen Huai'en shook his head in silence. This manner was not dignified enough. It was okay in a small county, but in a big city, people would look down on her.
He didn't dare to say this, and the girl didn't need to pretend to please anyone, so it was good this way.
Just as Shen Nanzhi expected, as soon as she showed up, there were bursts of gasps, and they all came over with bright eyes, "Miss Shen, is it really you? Oh, I didn't recognize you, you are so beautiful. Where did you buy this jewelry? It doesn't look like silver. What kind of gem is this? It's so dazzling."
Women have always been concerned about clothes and jewelry. It is not okay if they don’t have what others have.
Shen Nanzhi thought that when she had enough money in the future, she could go out to sea to look for diamond mines and make money by mining.
He smiled and said, "This is a rare gemstone. I asked someone to buy it from the capital. It is a foreign product."
"It must be expensive, right?"
"Fortunately, this gem is too hard to process, so it is not popular among craftsmen and is not promoted. They just want it to be rare, but it is actually not as good as gold."
"That's right, gold is better. Gold is so noble. I still like gold jewelry."
"Yes, it's not that I can't afford gold. I just wear this for fun. If I could afford gold, I would also like gold jewelry."
The ladies were pleased, and she did speak.
Zhu Xiaomei and Jin Xuan'er came over and held her arms, "Sister Shen is so beautiful today, we almost didn't recognize her."
The two of them were dressed nicely today, both wearing satin skirts with white fox fur on the hems, which made them look particularly cute and lovely. Shen Nanzhi's smile even had a little more kindness. It's great to be young.
Mrs. Zhu asked her to sit next to her: "Miss Shen, come over here and do it. Although you are young, you are much more sensible than those little girls. I don't treat you as a little girl. You talk to us and let them go play."
Mrs. Jin said, "That's right, Miss Shen may have done it. Her talent is not inferior to that of men. I admire her."
"Please stop praising me, both of you. If I had a tail, it would be all cocky. It's all because of life. I'm happy to have someone to rely on. There's nothing I can do about it. Men are unreliable. I can only rely on myself."
This made the two ladies feel distressed. The happier she laughed, the more they felt that it was not easy for her.
Her parents passed away early, leaving her behind as a young girl. She was bullied by her in-laws, disliked by her husband, and her children were not her biological children. Just think about how much suffering she must have endured to get to where she is today!
The two of them imagined that their eyes were red and their hearts were aching, but Shen Nanzhi was heartless. What were you two thinking about?
"Good boy, sit down quickly. If you have any problems in the future, tell us and we will help you."
"Thank you, madams. I'm very welcome."
"We won't listen to your politeness."
After chatting and laughing for a while, someone outside reported that Mrs. Xie had arrived with her two daughters. The laughter suddenly died down. Shen Nanzhi raised an eyebrow, curious about Mrs. Xie's expression.
Mrs. Zhu was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she explained: “My master has a good relationship with the Xie family, so it would be inappropriate not to invite her.
Mrs. Xie has had a hard time recently. Mr. Xie always thinks his son is useless and his daughter is ignorant. He is dissatisfied with Mrs. Xie in many ways and sent two smart and pretty girls from the manor to serve in the study. If nothing unexpected happens, he will take them as concubines, which makes Mrs. Xie very angry. "
Shen Nanzhi just smiled and said nothing. It was she who came up with this bad idea. It depends on whether Mr. Xie will turn his fake idea into reality.
It's true. Mrs. Xie deserves it. There are good men in this world, and not all women are good. Good women always meet scumbags, and good men can also meet wicked widows.
Mrs. Xie came in and saw Shen Nanzhi, her eyes were like poison. Mrs. Zhu stood up to block her gaze, "Mrs. Xie is here, please sit here. You haven't been out lately, so it's not easy to find you."
Mrs. Xie didn't appreciate it: "Why? Can't I sit here? Do you look down on me?"
Mrs. Zhu choked. Is this guy crazy?
Embarrassed, "No, it's not that Mrs. Jin and Miss Shen have something to say. I entertain you alone. I treat you as a distinguished guest. You are hurtful if you say that."
"Oh, you said it all. Don't think I don't know what you think. I also want to talk to Miss Shen about my true feelings. I wonder if Miss Shen will give me this face?"
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "I feel embarrassed for Mrs. Xie to say that. Of course I will give it to her. Come, I will make tea for Mrs. Xie. Miss Xie, please take a seat."
Shen Nanzhi has earned Mr. Xie's money, but he will not spoil Mrs. Xie. If she insists on committing suicide, he won't mind giving her a ride.
