boom!
There was a loud noise and iron flowers flew.
It's as bright and dazzling as red snow, thrilling and exciting.
As the iron flower craftsmen hammered again and again, it was like fireworks blooming in the night, and the imprint was engraved in the hearts of everyone present.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Shen Yueya grabbed the branch with both hands and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Shen Baiqiu was also extremely excited. He had never seen such a gorgeous scene in his whole life.
When Shen Zhiyao started to make iron flowers, she withdrew her gaze from Lin Jinglan.
She was immersed in the visual pleasure brought by the iron flower.
When the ironwork was over, I realized that Lin Jinglan had long disappeared.
"Sister, the iron flowers are so beautiful. Next time there are people who make iron flowers, let's come."
Shen Yueya's little hand was held by Shen Zhiyao, and she was jumping up and down with excitement.
Shen Baiqiu agreed: "Looking forward to seeing Iron Flower next time!"
"Okay." Shen Zhiyao smiled and nodded.
After the three of them left Huangguoshu Square, they walked around with the lively crowd.
Shen Baiqiu bought a rabbit lantern for Shen Yueya with one hundred pennies, while Shen Zhiyao chose a fox mask.
"How is it?" Shen Zhiyao put on the mask.
"Sister, you look good!" Shen Yueya gave a thumbs up like she did last night.
Shen Baiqiu looked at the thirty or so coins left in his hand and suggested, "Sister, let's go eat wontons."
"Ah! I'm hitting someone!"
A cry of surprise suddenly sounded.
Not far in front of Shen Zhiyao and the others, outside a house with the back door wide open, a young man in his twenties smelling of alcohol was punching and kicking a woman who was curled up on the ground.
The woman protected her belly, and when the man hit her again, she pushed herself to one side and got up to escape.
But the man grabbed his hair and dragged him back.
Some of the people watching were soft-hearted and wanted to step forward to help the woman, but after the man yelled, "She is my wife," he stopped.
And the people gathered here also began to talk about it:
"This woman must have done something wrong to her husband, so his husband beat her."
"Yes, maybe this woman deserves the beating."
"Isn't this Mrs. Zhao and her husband? Her husband, who is usually such a gentle and polite person, was so angry that he took action. What did Mrs. Zhao do?"
Those being watched were none other than Zhao Rufang, the shopkeeper of Yihua Pavilion, and her husband Fang Shuicha.
People kept speculating about what wrong thing Zhao Rufang had done, but no one stepped forward to stop this atrocity.
Zhao Rufang was in great pain from the beating, and Fang Shuizha kicked her in the stomach so hard that she felt like she was about to vomit out the gall water.
Who, who will save her...
Fang Shuizha grabbed Zhao Rufang's hair, raised his foot and kicked her in the stomach again.
The moment his feet were about to touch Zhao Rufang's belly, someone grabbed him by the shoulders.
A powerful force, like tearing cabbage, pressed his shoulders and knocked him to the ground.
boom!
Fang Shuicha was hit so hard that he was so drunk that he was mostly sober.
Shen Zhiyao helped Zhao Rufang up: "Are you okay?"
Zhao Rufang's eyes were full of tears, she put her hand on her stomach and shook her head: "Thank you, thank you, I'm fine."
Shen Zhiyao glanced at the blood at the corner of her mouth: "It's bleeding and you still think it's okay. You should go see a doctor."
"Who! Who pushed me?"
At this time, Fang Shuicha got up from the ground.
He glanced at Shen Zhiyao's back, then at Zhao Rufang who had obviously been beaten, and then at the passers-by gathered around, his head buzzing.
"Lady!"
With an affectionate shout, Fang Shuizha walked up to Zhao Rufang: "Madam, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me. I will never do anything to you again."
"You said the same thing before, but you still did it after drinking." Zhao Rufang was heartbroken and no longer believed him.
Fang Shuizha sighed: "Madam, don't you know exactly why I am like this? You are the one who is sorry for me."
Zhao Rufang was stunned, thinking of something, and there was a hint of discouragement in her eyes.
Passers-by onlookers asked curiously:
"What has your wife done to offend you?"
"Yeah, what did she do?"
Fang Shuizha didn't say much, he just looked embarrassed and sighed again.
Seeing this, everyone began to speculate, and all kinds of unpleasant words came one after another, such as stealing people and so on.
Zhao Rufang bit her lip, unable to bear the humiliation.
"enough!"
Suddenly, Zhao Rufang shouted.
"I just can't have children, I'm not stealing!"
"I'm sorry for not being able to continue the good life of your Fang family. It's okay for you to hit me, but you can't let others slander me!"
She cares more about reputation than physical pain.
"It turns out that she can't give birth to a child. This is a violation of the rule of seven births."
"A woman who can't give birth to a child is still called a woman!"
"Mrs. Zhao and her husband seem to have been married for many years, but they have no children, but her husband has not divorced her. Ms. Zhao is so lucky."
Voices of accusation and disdain for Zhao Rufang were heard endlessly.
Shen Zhiyao's fists hardened upon hearing this. What kind of bullshit is this!
"My wife is right, she is just infertile and has no other problems. Don't misunderstand her." Fang Shuicha looked like a good old man.
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Rufang: "Madam, let's go in."
"etc!"
Shen Zhiyao raised his hand to stop Fang Shuicha.
Before Fang Shuicha could react, Shen Zhiyao lowered his head and asked a few words in Zhao Rufang's ear.
Zhao Rufang was stunned for a moment, then whispered back to her.
"What did you say to my wife?" Fang Shuizha frowned. It was this woman who pushed him just now. What did this woman want to do?
Shen Zhiyao looked at Fang Shuizha from beginning to end with contempt.
Fang Shuicha felt very uncomfortable when she looked at him: "You, what are you looking at!"
Shen Zhiyao shook her head in disgust: "Sometimes you have to look for problems in yourself. After so many years without children, have you worked hard?"
effort?
Fang Shuizha thought of something and his face turned red.
But Shen Zhiyao continued: "I heard that only your wife has been to see a doctor, and your wife is in good health, so don't you understand who is really unable to have children?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Fang Shuizha shouted: "I am a man! How can it be my problem!"
Shen Zhiyao's expression remained unchanged: "Do you need me to ask a doctor for you?"
"The doctor is here!"
A familiar voice came from outside the crowd.
Shen Zhiyao turned around and saw that Mr. Ye, who often ate at her food stall, appeared here at some point.
"Come on, come on, I'll check your pulse." Mr. Ye stepped forward with great interest.
Before Fang Shuicha could react, he took Fang Shuicha's hand.
"Let me go!" Fang Shuizha struggled.
Shen Zhiyao held him down with one hand: "Don't move, I'm here to see you."
"You're the one who's sick, you...well, well."
Fang Shuizha was so angry that he scolded Shen Zhiyao, but as soon as he spoke, two needles were suddenly stuck in his throat and he was speechless.
