She belonged to the rich and could give orders to Jiang Siqian's family in terms of economy. Even if the status of women was low, she did not see the concept of women being weak.
Of course, the traditional public view of male supremacy made the strong-willed Li Shengfang constantly vigilant. She did not dare to relax her power and position in the Zhou family. Only by carrying the guise of the head of the Zhou family could she put on the coat of a wealthy woman and form the impression of a strong woman that everyone paid attention to.
Therefore, at home, she would sometimes compromise and lower her head to Snowman Zhou to buy sex. Sometimes, she would order around and use Snowman Zhou's lascivious male dog nature to use her unconventional body as a trump card. She would deliberately lure her husband to be a slave in front of her and be willing to be a soft man.
After she conquered her husband through a series of means, the Zhou family's parents, who loved their son and listened to their son's words and deeds, had no choice but to bow down to her and worship her as the Wang Xifeng of the new era. On the surface, they gave up the command of the Zhou family and handed it over to Li Shengfang to wield the big and small matters.
Of course, as a foreign daughter-in-law, Li Shengfang still could not shake off the instinctive suspicion in the hearts of the entire Zhou family. They thought that Li Shengfang only married Zhou Xueren for money. Other than maintaining the relationship between the two husband and wife, it was difficult to create a completely assured blood alliance relationship.
Therefore, although Zhou Xueren's parents handed over the family affairs to Li Shengfang to take care of, they secretly watched Li Shengfang's every move, afraid that she would make a mistake that day and take away the wealth that the Zhou family had worked hard for several generations.
At the same time, the two elders of the Zhou family did not forget to give their son a few words of warning. They were just trying to keep an eye on the money in their pockets and not let their daughter-in-law squander it all.
In front of their son, the old couple was too embarrassed to say that Li Shengfang was a big deal. They were worried that Zhou Xueren, who was already fascinated by his woman, would turn to resent them and work together with his wife to train the family business. They had no right to speak or act.
Therefore, the old couple's words were more subtle. As long as the family did not lose money, they were willing to be hands-off managers. Seeing their son's greed, they urged their son to manage all of Li Shengfang's expenses. Even if their son was lazy, they would at least let their daughter-in-law exercise her own personal will.
Li Shengfang knew the importance of money in the Zhou family's hearts. She did not dare to show any signs of coveting her husband's money. She was afraid that she would anger the entire Zhou family and drive her out of the house. She would lose both her family and money for no reason, and her family would be affected as well.
Therefore, Li Shengfang did not dare to raise her status as a rich woman to take care of her relatives. She always had to show the complete stance of the Zhou family in front of the Zhou family, especially in the eyes of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Other than being stingy, she was also mean to people outside the Zhou family.
However, Li Shengfang was a kind person by nature. She could not act like a villain in words and deeds. She could only play the role of a hard and sour woman against her will. Deep in her heart, she still yearned for innocence and kindness.
Therefore, in public, she quietly arranged for Jiang Siqian and his family to be busy with the Zhou family business. When she saw Jiang Siqian and Li Yaohong in private, she would always look around to see if there was any sign of the Zhou family. Later, she would comfort them and temporarily endure life. With the booming business of the salt shop, they would definitely be able to live a happy life.
Hearing that Li Shengfang was worried that her family couldn't take it, Li Yaohong and Jiang Siqian, who were used to suffering and working hard since they were young, laughed secretly in their hearts. They blamed her for living in the countryside, but she had the brain of a city girl and didn't understand the life philosophy of the rural people at all.
Due to cultural limitations, rural people could only find happiness in life from their survival instincts. Even if their living standards were low, they could still enjoy a comfortable moment from the simple and heavy pressure of life.
It was said that the lives of the rural people were hard, but it was only in comparison to the better families. As long as they were given a certain hope in life, it was also a kind of happiness to make merry in hardship. The so-called lack of comparison meant that people under different economic conditions had their own satisfaction points.
A person's ability to adapt to the stress of life was similar to a tree seed under a rock. As long as there was an environment for it to germinate, the tree seed could germinate and grow until it overthrew the rock and grew into a towering tree.
When Li Shengfang heard Li Yaohong calling her from behind, she stopped and turned around to ask her what she was talking about. He had been busy rushing and could not hear the contents of the shout clearly.
Li Yaohong quickly said that she would take me to the salt shop. She didn't know the exact location of the newly opened shop and was afraid that she would take the wrong way and delay business.
At this moment, Li Yaohong still did not mention her husband. It showed that she did not care about her personality. She wanted to please Li Shengfang so that they could continue to be good sisters in the future.
Li Shengfang didn't think too much about it. She scolded her for being one-track minded. She didn't think about the small Xikou Village, which was far from the prosperity of Fenghua City. There were not many streets and roads for anyone to choose from. There was only one road outside the door. The east of the village went all the way to the west of the village. In addition to the official road beside the village, one could easily distinguish each household with their eyes closed.
Li Yaohong looked aggrieved, but she did not dare to be tough. She was afraid that Li Shengfang would laugh at her for having little life experience outside.
Therefore, she said that her memory had been bad recently and that she was just a little worried. As she spoke, she changed the topic and talked about the eternal words of sisterhood. She said that Sister Fang had been a hero in her heart since she was young and had always admired her sister. If it wasn't for the fact that her sister was of the same race, she would really dare to marry her sister as her husband. She could give her endless support.
Li Shengfang was amused by her. She felt that Sister Hong had a sweet tongue and her words pierced her heart. Since she was young, she had been a captive of love and could not withstand the torture of delicate love.
When she heard Li Yaohong compare her to a man, she smiled and retorted, No! I don't like to be a man. It's fine if you like to be a man. I'll always be a woman.
Afraid that Li Yaohong would not understand her thoughts, she quickly explained. If a man's life was too tiring, for the sake of a woman and child, oh! There were also old people who needed to work non-stop. How could women live leisurely and romantically?
As she spoke, Li Shengfang changed the topic and returned to the problem Li Yaohong was facing. She nodded and agreed to go with her. She turned around and approached her, holding her hand. She glanced at the road ahead and urged her to hurry up. The two men were probably extremely thirsty in the salt shop and were holding back their anger to scold the woman!
Li Yaohong asked Li Shengfang what the two men meant. Could it be that Snowman Zhou also went to the salt shop to sell his strength?
However, she did not mention Zhou Xueren's name, afraid that if she triggered Li Shengfang's troubled nerves, it would destroy the harmonious atmosphere that had just been established.
Li Shengfang didn't think much about it. She said that Ren Huaming, who made the signboard in the village, was measuring the size of the signboard in the shop. Together with Jiang Siqian, they were two men.
Li Yaohong let out a sigh of relief. She was glad that it was not Snowman Zhou. Because she was Li Shengfang's relative, she often went between the Zhou family and her own family. She had more chances to bump into Snowman Zhou, so she did not have a good impression of him.
Although she didn't directly encounter Zhou Xueti's brutality, she could see the bad shadow from his arrogant and licentious demeanor. She felt that he didn't look like an honest person, and compared to her husband Jiang Si Qian's humanity, he was much worse.
In addition, Zhou Xueren liked to stare at her pervertedly whenever he met her, deepening her bad feelings. She was worried that he would turn into a wolf and pounce on her to tear her body apart. Therefore, she was afraid to see Zhou Xueren.
Li Yaohong secretly heaved a sigh of relief when Snowman Zhou was not in the salt shop. However, when she thought of the fact that there were two men in the shop, a woman instinctively had a desire to show off. She hoped that she could become the Snow White in the hearts of many men.
Therefore, she wanted to go to the salt shop as soon as possible so that she could be sandwiched between the two men and experience an inexplicable excitement.
Li Yaohong's body had developed well since she was young. Although she was not as smooth as Li Shengfang, in the eyes of the lecherous men, she was as delicious as fresh bread, arousing their infinite appetite.
However, at the same time, she thought of Li Shengfang beside her. Because she was prettier than her and dressed well, she exuded an alluring aura. In the eyes of men, she would steal all the limelight from her. Therefore, she felt that it was best to go to the salt shop alone.
However, since she had already said it, she was too embarrassed to be tactful. If Li Shengfang could see the secret of her desire that had been hidden in her heart for many years and spread it to her hometown village, she was afraid that her acquaintances would point at her back and scold her, affecting her family to suffer. If things went wrong, their blood relationship might end here.
Once she lost her family, it would be like a fish out of water. It would make it difficult for her to live happily in the world. If she suffered in her husband's house, she would not even have a place to vent her grievances.
Even if there were honest officials in the government who were willing to help her get out of the shadow of her husband's bullying, they could not patiently guarantee that she would straighten her back for the rest of her life. The patience of the government was limited. They cared about too many things and could not spend a lot of time on small family matters.
Since ancient times, kinship had always been the foundation of everyone's life. With a broad family relationship, one could mediate the contradictions in one's life at any time and bring happiness and peace to the greatest extent.
Li Yaohong carefully looked at Li Shengfang's face. She had some thoughts in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to look into her eyes. She went along with what she meant just now and said, Sister Fang! Let's go!
Li Shengfang smiled and rolled her eyes a few times. She deliberately said,"I'm tired. Why don't you go alone? It's a middle street. I don't believe you can't find a salt shop." Can't see your husband?
After saying that, she continued to tease Li Yaohong. If she really couldn't find it, she would slowly look for it. If it was dark, she would light up the lanterns and look for it.
She chuckled, as if a few drops of tears were squeezed out of the corners of her eyes. It was obvious that the laughter worm in her body was triggered, and she was excited to the greatest extent.
Li Yaohong looked down on her for laughing until she cried. She felt that there were too few happy factors in her. She could even laugh at such a trivial matter. Perhaps she was used to being bullied by Snowman Zhou at home and rarely felt happy. When she went out, she would be radiant when she saw the sun.
Hence, Li Yaohong pitied her. She was a noble lady, but she had to marry a wolf man. Other than being bullied, she had to suffer. How could she be blessed?
However, she changed her mind and denied her own thoughts. If Li Shengfang did not marry a man like Zhou Xueren, she would not be able to get close to a noble woman. Just like herself, she would find a farmer to eat and spend her life with.
Therefore, she was a little glad that she found Jiang Si Qian. Although the man did not leave the land to live, he had a good mind, good at making a living, and knew how to calculate. It was only a matter of time before he became rich.
Li Yaohong then thought of the salt shop. It seemed that the snow-white silver was already locked in the corner cabinet of her west wing room. Her husband was smart. Such a good official salt business had fallen on him.
Li Shengfang stopped laughing. When she saw Li Yaohong's dazed expression, she thought that she was worried that she would really not go to the salt shop and leave her alone to look for her.
Hence, she quickly said," Sister Hong!" I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously. I'll accompany you to the salt shop. Who asked us to be sisters? Let's go! Hurry up and leave! The two men must be scolding us.
Li Yaohong complained in her heart that she was like a chameleon. She didn't keep her word. If she didn't want to go, so be it! There was no need to interfere. Even if he was not familiar with the streets, it would not take long to find them one by one.
Therefore, she suspected that Li Shengfang was also thinking about the two men in the salt shop. Jiang Siqian and Ren Huaming were the best of the best. When a country woman saw them, she would definitely like them, whether it was their appearance, figure, or their conversation.
Even if the ladies in the city were used to playing with the cream boys, when they saw the strong man who emitted a rough aura, they would definitely not be able to resist the idea of tasting wild game. They held Jiang Siqian and Ren Huaming's hands and plunged into their arms to satisfy their romantic dreams.
However, it was not convenient for her to reject Li Shengfang's request at this moment. She only treated it as her good intentions. After all, the two of them were friends. There was no need to take everything seriously.
Besides, Li Yaohong had many days to rely on Li Shengfang financially! She had to suffer under the good sister's body to accumulate strength. Who asked her not to have a rich husband like Zhou Xueren?
Speaking of money, Li Yaohong didn't seem to hate Zhou Xueren that much. She even felt a little regretful that such a good thing happened to Sister Fang.
Li Shengfang didn't wait for Li Yaohong's reaction and continued to urge her to leave quickly. What were you waiting for? Be careful that Jiang Siqian gets angry and finds trouble with you!
Li Shengfang's joke made Li Yaohong shudder. It was as if she had already been mercilessly scolded and even hit by her husband. For Li Shengfang's sake, she did not have to do anything, but the verbal stimulation was inevitable, which hurt Li Yaohong's self-esteem.
Hence, Li Yaohong did not think too much about it. She stretched out her left hand to stroke her bangs and used her actions to hide the complicated struggle in her heart. She quickly agreed. Sigh! Let's go!
After saying that, she quickly walked to the front of the cart, bent her knees, grabbed the handles with both hands, and pushed the cart forward with all her strength.
Li Shengfang didn't want to help push the cart at all. She felt that there was dirt on the cart. In addition, she didn't want to use any strength. She was afraid that if she distorted her slender body, she would no longer be able to rely on her body to conquer Zhou Xueren. Her status in the Zhou family would be over.
However, for the sake of being a good sister, she had no choice but to pretend to be hardworking and help Li Yaohong push the cart. She hated this kind of sisterhood in her heart. She might as well spend money to find someone to pull the cart. Even if she didn't help, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Love really killed people.
Li Shengfang smiled bitterly as she stood beside Li Yaohong. She stretched out one hand and placed it on the handle of the car as a form of help. She followed Li Yaohong's walking posture and sometimes bent down to exert strength. Sometimes, she straightened her waist and took a deep breath. It made her feel very embarrassed. She was worried that the villagers would see her as a joke. She was a rich lady, but she was also like a little girl, busy with the work of the servants.
