After giving birth to five sons, the Old Shen family in Lotus Village finally got their wish for a precious daughter!
What, a long drought with no rain? Little Dragon Liu waves her hand, and ...
"Father, what are you saying?"
"No, Dad, what are you doing?"
The two brothers, Shen Wanli and Shen Wanli, were both confused and angry.
What did they do that warrants severing ties with them?
Tian Guifen was so angry she felt like she was about to ascend to heaven. Just as she was about to question her, her daughter suddenly tugged at her clothes.
Tian Guifen subconsciously looked at her daughter.
Shen Liuliu shook her head at her mother, signaling her not to speak.
Although Grandpa is weak-willed and can be quite infuriating at times, he would never do anything bad.
There must be some reason behind his statement.
Mother, it's best if you don't speak yet.
Although Tian Guifen didn't understand, she subconsciously listened to her daughter and didn't say anything.
"Are you crazy?"
Grandma Shen glared at her husband, wishing she could pounce on him and scratch him!
The family has no money left, and if they cut off ties with their remaining two sons, how will they survive?
"Ahem... You two, don't worry. It's not that your father has a problem with you. It's just that we're doing this just in case."
The old man's voice was hoarse, like a broken bellows, hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
After saying only one sentence, the old man started coughing and only felt better after drinking a few sips of warm water.
Shen Wanli and his second brother exchanged a glance, both seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Although I am unwilling to do as you say, I know that Pengfei is a bad child! Just in case, if he really does something heinous, we will sever our father-son relationship and put Pengfei on my household registration, so that it will not implicate you."
However, if he truly succeeds in high school and becomes accomplished, even if he severs ties with you, with me around, he wouldn't dare fail to repay you. This way, it's a safe and sound approach, a win-win situation.
Old Master Shen is not very smart.
This was the best solution he could come up with.
If anything goes wrong, it will only be the elderly couple who will be implicated.
"...What about me? No, you should divorce me now."
"Grandma Shen said somewhat impatiently."
On his aged face was greed, malice, and extreme selfishness.
Even if the other party is the old lady's most beloved grandson, the old lady only wants to benefit from his success and refuses to share hardships.
Not only that, the old lady glared fiercely at the old man, extremely dissatisfied: "I've been married to you for decades, and when trouble comes, you know how to distance yourself from your son, but you don't care whether I live or die? You old geezer, you deserve it..."
"mother!"
Shen Wanli roared indignantly, his eyes wide open like a fierce tiger.
The staring look was a clear expression of disgust and loathing!
How could his own mother be such a person?
"Mother, don't go too far!" Shen Qianli was about to speak up for her father, but suddenly changed her mind, "Father, why don't you just divorce Mother?"
My father divorced my mother and severed ties with them.
If they don't support their elderly mother, there's nothing anyone can do about it, right?
If Shen Wanli's eyes were the ferocity of a beast, then Shen Qianli's words were like venomous snakes circling around you, making your scalp tingle and filling you with fear from the bottom of your heart!
Although Old Mrs. Shen wasn't that thoughtful, she instinctively looked away when she met her second son's gaze.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The old man coughed desperately again as he got anxious.
Shen Liuliu hurried to fetch water, and then took the opportunity to add a little bit of her magic to the water to make her grandfather feel more comfortable.
"Grandpa, drink some water, don't rush, wear plain clothes," Shen Liuliu coaxed in her childish voice.
"quack!"
Birds chirping came from the courtyard.
Lark: Haha, this princess is so silly! Comfortable, not plain clothes!
Shen Liuliu: ...
“Good girl, my granddaughter is so good.”
After drinking the water, Grandpa Shen felt much better. His chest pain subsided, and his throat felt much better. He immediately felt even more affection for Shen Liuliu.
After praising his granddaughter, Grandpa Shen shook his head at his wife: "We've been married for so many years, let's not talk about divorce anymore. As long as I'm here, you'll always have food to eat."
The old man clearly understood his two sons' thoughts.
Unfortunately, the old lady didn't appreciate it and instead muttered "old coward".
Grandpa Shen pretended not to hear and then said to his sons, "Let's arrange it like this, it's all good. However, since it's so far away, which of you two should adopt Tian Tian? Let one of you be adopted by Tian Tian, so that if anything happens in the future, it won't implicate this girl."
As soon as the aged voice finished speaking, Shen Tiantian rushed into the old man's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, crying and shouting, "I want to live with Grandpa, Grandpa! Waaah!"
She was worried too, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
But she never expected that her grandfather would also consider her.
Grandpa is the best grandpa in the world.
"Silly child, this is for your own good." Grandpa Shen stroked his granddaughter's head, feeling extremely sorry for her. "It's just a formality, you'll still live with your grandparents."
Although I'm an old man, I can still manage.
Rent a few acres of land, at least don't keep dragging your son down and asking him for money.
"Father, don't say anything about severing ties."
"Yes, Dad, it hurts to hear you say that."
No matter what the Shen brothers said, the old man insisted on his position.
For the indecisive old man, this was the best solution he could think of, so he refused to budge no matter what.
There was no other way but to follow the old man's wishes and invite the village chief and two elders.
The village chief and others were shocked to hear the old man's words and tried to persuade him.
However, seeing that the old man insisted, they didn't say anything.
After the document was signed, Old Master Shen made a request: "Please, the three of you, don't tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, the villagers won't know what to think of my two sons."
Even if he insisted on it, he was already old and needed to be supported, so he severed ties with his two sons. In the eyes of the world, this would be seen as his sons being unfilial!
He didn't want his son to be scolded.
"father!"
Both Shen Wanli and his brother choked up.
Actually, this concern isn't unfounded; it's just that people are too embarrassed to say it.
I never expected my dad to be so thoughtful.
"Don't worry about that."
"Since the village chief and the two elders are here, what my brother and I are thinking is, since we've run out of money and land, how about my parents and Tian Tian take turns staying with our families? One pair a month, what do you think?"
My parents have no money left. Instead of bringing me food every day, it would be better to let them take turns staying at our two homes.
Shen Wanli nodded in agreement: "Yes, our parents are getting old, otherwise we wouldn't feel at ease."
The village chief and the two elders were very satisfied. Originally, Old Master Shen was unwilling, fearing that he would trouble his son.
But the old lady had already agreed with a smile, and that's how the matter was settled.
The village chief and the two elders then lectured Shen Wanli and his brother, telling them not to neglect their filial piety just because they had the document severing ties.
Only after receiving their solemn assurances did the village chief and the two elders leave.
"You two brothers should discuss who to adopt Tian Tian to," Grandpa Shen said, looking at his two sons expectantly.
