Wei Aiguo waved his hand, telling them both to stop talking. There was no need for excuses. "My mother gave birth to me and raised me; how could I possibly be a child of your Shen family?"

Everyone in the room was taken aback. Shen Ruomei unconsciously clenched her hands again. Was her grandfather going to ruin her father-son reunion again today?

Wei Aiguo continued, "It would be an understatement to say that Commander Shen dedicated his entire life to the country and the army. To be honest, I admire him very much."

My mother, in particular, was deeply moved after hearing about the deeds of martyr Su Yinghong. And the fact that I look so much like Commander Shen is also a kind of fate.

Commander Shen really wanted me to be his son. My mother also pitied him for losing his wife and son, so she didn't object to it.

There's nothing wrong with just becoming godparents.

However, even if I acknowledge Commander Shen as my father and take his surname, that's his business, it has nothing to do with you or your family.

Having already sat down, Old Master Shen suddenly stood up again. "How can it be that it's not related?"

"If we're talking about power and background, having my godfather is enough! If we're talking about money, do you think your family is good enough? Only Shen Lao Er cares about that little bit of stuff."

If your family has outstanding descendants with a bright future, that's fine too, but does your family have any?

Nothing in your family is something to brag about in front of me, and don't you dare point fingers at me and my wife in the future!

Let's talk about martyr Su Yinghong. If I called Commander Shen "Dad," then she would be my mother!

As far as I know, your other daughters-in-law all kneel down to serve you tea, right?

"If Su Yinghong were to kneel and offer you tea, would you dare accept it?" Old Zeng said this to Wei Aiguo himself. Old Shen wouldn't dare let Su Yinghong kneel and offer him tea. If the Shen family had any other male grandsons, Old Shen certainly wouldn't want to acknowledge Wei Aiguo. Because he had never stood up straight in front of Wei Aiguo's mother.

Perhaps for this reason, while he was forced to acknowledge his grandson, he was even more eager to put on airs as an elder in front of Wei Aiguo.

Old Master Shen's face was flushed, and his gaze was somewhat obscure, as if he was thinking about something!

This time, Sister-in-law Shen couldn't hold back any longer. "What are you saying? Although it's a new society now and those old customs don't apply anymore, isn't serving tea proper? And kneeling down to your elders is also proper!"

Wei Aiguo looked at Old Master Shen without saying a word, his face cold.

There's a past they're unaware of.

Su Yinghong married Shen Changchuan on the battlefield. There was no actual wedding ceremony; only a leader officiated. Old Zeng knew about this and agreed to it.

However, this matter had to be known by Shen Changchuan's father. Old Zeng told Wei Aiguo, "Shen Changchuan, your father isn't dead. Even if the Shen family doesn't have a genealogy, there are still other members!"

Wei Aiguo understood; he was protecting his sister.

Upon hearing that his son had gotten married, Old Man Shen found an opportunity to visit the couple at the military base. He never expected that his third daughter-in-law was a young lady from the Zeng family.

Shen Changchuan and his wife would definitely offer tea to Old Man Shen together.

It is proper for a new bride to be served tea upon entering the house, but how should this tea be served?

Old Zeng said that when he went in, Old Shen was sitting in the main seat, and Yinghong was offering him tea, but he didn't take it.

Shen Changchuan understood his father's meaning, but he didn't dare to suggest that his wife kneel down to serve tea.

Old Zeng said if he dared to say that, he would smash his head into a dog's head!

At that moment, Lao Zeng slammed his gun on the table and said, "What's wrong? Can't you accept tea?"

"Shen Changchuan, my sister isn't unable to get married!"

After hearing what Lao Zeng said, Shen Changchuan took the teacup from his wife's hand and placed it on the table. He also asked his father for a gift.

Old Zeng spoke so casually, but Wei Aiguo thought that Old Master Shen must have felt very aggrieved.

From the time Shen Changchuan and his wife got married until his wife's sacrifice, he never took her home, and Old Master Shen never allowed them to go back either.

The couple never neglected their duty to show filial piety to their elders, sending them gifts and money on time.

Grandpa Shen never skimped on the gifts he was supposed to give for events like the birth of his child.

The Shen family used to have a grandson, the eldest son's first child. However, that child died before Wei Aiguo was born. Even so, the old man never mentioned wanting to see this grandson.

If Yinghong were to go back, he wouldn't be able to act like the old man.

It wasn't that Old Man Shen disliked Su Yinghong, because he knew his family wouldn't lose out by marrying such a woman. However, he felt uncomfortable if he couldn't act like an elder, so he avoided seeing her.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, decades later, the only male grandson of the Shen family was born to Yinghong, and in the eyes of the old man Shen, this child was still unruly.

Old Master Shen tried his best to suppress his anger, "No matter what you say, you can't just hit people, especially your second uncle!"

Wei Aiguo said calmly, "You still don't understand. Commander Shen is Commander Shen, and you are you!"

I have nothing to do with you, especially Shen Lao Er and his family. They put on airs in front of me; I can make their lives miserable!

"You dare! Do you think I really can't do anything to you? Even if you were in my son's position, he wouldn't be able to disown his ancestors! Don't forget you have a military!" Old Master Shen was so angry that he couldn't help but threaten him.

"If you didn't know my godfather was here, would you dare say that in front of him?" Song Yan said casually from the side, which made them even angrier.

Sister-in-law Shen wanted to speak, but her daughter stopped her.

"Grandpa!" Shen Sushuang called out softly, "When we came, I advised you not to let my third uncle see people he didn't want to see, as it would affect his recovery!"

Even if we're not family, we could still sit down and have a meal together because of our relationship with the Zeng family!

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Old Master Shen's lips trembled slightly. How could he not understand this principle? "We're all family, after all. Your second uncle knows he was wrong! We can't hold a grudge forever!"

Shen Sushuang: "Some mistakes, once made, cannot be forgiven simply by admitting them!"

Your second uncle sincerely admitted his mistake in front of you, but just now he was trying to act like an elder.

My dad passed away early, and my third uncle is busy, so he's the only one who can be by your side. It's understandable that you favor him. You may not care about his attitude, but others may not approve!

Ruomei wasn't raised by him, nor is she his daughter, so why should he give her face? He really doesn't have that kind of face..."

Following old customs, Sister-in-law Shen was startled to see her daughter speaking to her grandfather like that. "Shut up! How dare you talk like that! This is your grandfather!"

Shen Sushuang: "Mom, I came with you because I was afraid you would make a mistake!"

Your second uncle respects you, so you also think that others should respect your second uncle, right?

Why does he respect you? Because you don't bother him! And I'm a married daughter, I don't inherit any property!

Hey everyone! I always thought I was faking it, but this time it's really true! I have a fever, a real fever!
