Chapter 43 The Shen Family's Battle for Their Parents

"Why don't you agree? Do you think that since you are the eldest in the family, your parents gave you too little?"

"I still think you've grown strong enough to be my boss!"

Wang Sufen was startled by her eldest son's sudden voice and became angry.

"This is not about money. I don't mind not having a penny, but I'm the eldest. You and dad have to live with us! We can take good care of you!"

Shen Yuancheng was the eldest brother with a strong sense of responsibility. When he heard that Wang Sufen and the others wanted to separate him and not live with him anymore, he was furious.

Wang Sufen didn't expect this to be the reason. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "When you have time to take care of us, when your brothers and sisters have started their own families, if you don't take care of us, I'll go to the commune and sue you!"

"Your father and I are not old yet. We don't need you to take care of us. We live in the same village. If you are worried, you can build your house next to ours. That should be fine, right?"

The eldest brother is good in every way except that he has a very stubborn temper.

"Brother, you can't take everything just because you are the eldest. Parents have to live with us from now on!" Shen Yuanxing was unwilling when he heard what Shen Yuancheng said.

"After a few years, I'll get a house in town and bring my parents to live with me. You can't fight with me for it!" Shen Yuanjia looked at his brothers warily.

"Okay, stop arguing. Dad and mom will definitely follow me in the future. Who among you can be as favored as me? It's not your turn!" Shen Anan also joined the battle.

Zhou Ping and Li Cui'er were a little excited but didn't dare to show it. Which daughter-in-law doesn't want to be the master of the house? Life would be completely different if you have a mother-in-law under your control or not.

Wang Sufen and Shen Laiyou watched their children vying to take care of them in their old age, and their hearts were sweeter than drinking honey. "Okay, stop arguing, you can't escape from now on."

"Mom, I'll forget about the family division money. After all, I..." Shen Yuanbang spoke hesitantly. After all, he was married into the Du family, so how could he get a share of the family money?

"What do you mean by 'you'? Aren't you my daughter? In the previous famine, if you hadn't tightened your belts in the city to support the family, the family might have starved to death. What's yours is yours!"

Du Yun hugged her daughter, her eyes red with emotion. Before, everyone in the compound laughed at her for finding a country man.

What's wrong with country people? The Shen family is kind and Shen Yuanbang treats her well. It's better than those families where there is chaos all day long.

Shen Laiyou made the decision impatiently: "Okay, it's settled! The eldest will go to the county tomorrow to inform the fifth, the second will write a letter to the third, and when the fifth comes back from the county, we will officially separate."

"A bunch of grown men, whining and complaining, really..." After Shen Laiyou made the decision, he hurried out without delay.

"Mom, it's so late, where is my dad doing?" Shen Yuancheng looked at the sky outside, his face full of confusion.

"What else can I do! If I don't let Old Zhao know that he was in the newspaper today, he won't be able to sleep at night!" Wang Sufen rolled her eyes and walked out.

"Mom, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Sleep!"

Shen Yuancheng was scolded by his parents. He scratched his head in confusion. He turned around and saw his brothers and sisters looking at him with a look of anticipation. He said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Go and have a rest!"

Shen Anan was about to go back to her room when Shen Yuanbang suddenly came over in a mysterious manner.

"Little sister, I heard them all. It was thanks to Wangcai that we were able to rescue the person this time!"

"Can I, can I meet Wangcai? I heard from Laoliu that Wangcai will listen to you." Shen Yuanjia's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands with anticipation.

Shen Anan: “…”

She didn't expect that her fourth brother was so brave that he was not afraid of wolves.

Unfortunately, the puppet card is only valid for three days, so after returning, Shen Anan used the excuse that Wangcai had already returned to the mountains, and even when Zhou Ping offered to send food to Wangcai, she refused.

The truth is that a puppet card costs 2,000 contribution points, which is 2,000 yuan, and she can't bear to buy another one.

"Hey, Fourth Brother, you don't know that I just happened to rescue Wangcai when I went up the mountain before, so it was willing to go with us to look for people this time."

"But after this time, maybe it felt that the favor had been repaid. Since it went back to the mountains, it won't come out no matter how I call it." Shen Anan sighed and said with regret.

Shen Yuanbang opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous: "Ah, this wolf can't really be a spirit."

"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense. This is feudal superstition." Shen Anan refused to admit it. Shen Yuanbang struggled for a while, but was persuaded by Shen Anan to go back and rest.

Shen Anan let out a long breath. It really took ten lies to cover up one lie. Fortunately, he managed to get away with it.

…

…

Yu County, Xijiao Lane.

In the narrow alley, a group of playing children would run by from time to time. The sounds of the children playing and the occasional quarrels mixed together. There were also some clothes hanging on both sides of the alley, which was full of the breath of life.

Shen Anan followed behind Shen Yuancheng, looking at the courtyards passing by with some curiosity, "Brother, are we almost there?"

Shen Yuancheng was carrying a backpack and holding a chicken in his hand. "We are almost there. Master Zheng's house is just ahead. Watch your step."

Shen Anan looked at the hen that had been a little depressed after riding all the way here, and was a little puzzled: "Brother, why do we have to bring a chicken with us? This is too much trouble."

"You don't know, when Master Zheng accepted Lao Wu as his apprentice, he said that in addition to the seven dollars a month tuition, he also had to pay two chickens every year."

"We just happened to come here to look for Lao Wu, so my mother asked me to bring one up first."

Shen Anan was a little surprised, the tuition fee was really not cheap!

Shen Yuancheng looked at Shen Anan's surprised expression and laughed: "What do you think? Is it so easy to learn how to make a living? It's because your fifth brother is very savvy in carpentry that Master Zheng took a fancy to him. Otherwise, he would have no place to learn skills even if he got the money!"

"Hey, here we are, this is it..."

Shen Yuanjia had just walked into the gate of the courtyard when he suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words and stopped dead in place.

Shen Anan was not prepared for Shen Yuancheng to stop suddenly and bump into his back.

"Hey, brother, what's wrong?" Shen Anan rubbed his head and looked up at Shen Yuancheng, only to find that Shen Yuancheng's face was full of anger, and the blue veins on his forehead were popping out.

Shen Anan followed Shen Yuanjia's gaze, and when she saw the situation clearly, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Hey, brother!"

Before she could react, she saw Shen Yuancheng had thrown the chicken aside and rushed over. Shen Anan didn't care about what to think and rushed into the yard.
