Because of Li Xiang's sudden opposition, the Shen family's plan to go to the Zhao family after breakfast was put on hold.
The whole family started arguing with each one pointing at the other.
After everyone pulled Wang Huilian and Li Xiang apart, they had a disagreement about whether to go to Zhao's house or not.
The eldest branch of the Shen family, headed by Wang Huilian, insisted that the Shen family send someone to the Zhao family to support Shen Hongmei and restore the Shen family's face.
The opposition, represented by Li Xiang and Li Xiaoqin, opposed causing trouble for the Zhao family in such a high-profile manner, on the grounds that fighting between couples was a common occurrence.
Old man Shen closed his eyes and didn't say a word even though his sons were arguing over this.
During this period, he sat on the kang every day, closing his eyes to rest, and completely lost his previous hobby of going out to visit friends and relatives.
At this moment, Old Lady Wang, who had been ignored for a long time by everyone except Li Xiang, suddenly turned over with difficulty.
Her eyes were fixed on the people standing on the ground arguing.
Ever since Shen Siyue made a fuss about splitting up the family last time and took her from the small east room, looking at her old son who had already married a wife, Old Lady Wang had been serious and honest for a long time.
In order to please her new daughter-in-law, Old Lady Wang even let Li Xiang go for the first time.
During the usual meals and cleaning, there was never any trouble.
This also made Li Xiaoqin, who had never seen the fighting power of Old Lady Wang, not care at all about her mother-in-law who was paralyzed on the kang.
In the eyes of the new daughter-in-law Li Xiaoqin, although this mother-in-law cannot speak or move and needs to be served when eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, she is not as difficult to get along with as others say.
Anyway, it was Li Xiang who wiped her poop and pee and changed her clothes, so she didn't need to do it herself.
She only needed to ask about Old Man Shen's well-being and say a few nice words to perfectly act the role of a filial daughter-in-law.
I even feel that it is fortunate that Old Mrs. Wang is lying on the kang and doesn't do anything, as there are fewer conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
In fact, Mrs. Wang didn’t suddenly change her personality and become a good person.
It’s just because she is a complete useless person now, how can she still act so majestically in front of others?
If it were the time when she was still in good condition, Old Lady Wang would definitely make her daughter-in-law, who was the most partial to her youngest son, obedient and make her serve her son wholeheartedly.
When she heard that the eldest son wanted to send the third son to Zhaojiawan to fight, Old Lady Wang could no longer lie down.
It's not like she hasn't seen Zhao Changgui before. She knows that he is a violent person who would get into fights if she disagrees with him. Wouldn't there be a fight if she went there?
Zhaojiawan is someone else's territory, so wouldn't the people in the village be on the side of the Zhao family?
What good can these people from the Shen family get if they go there?
She's just a little girl, and she did such a shameless thing. How could she have the nerve to let her old son be embarrassed with her?
So just as everyone was arguing, Old Lady Wang opened her mouth and yelled, "Ah!"
This sudden sound really shocked everyone.
After all, during this period of time, Old Lady Wang can be regarded as a invisible person in the Shen family.
Seeing her suddenly speak, everyone stopped involuntarily.
Seeing that they were finally willing to look at her, Old Lady Wang quickly pointed at Chen Qiushu and shook her head desperately: "Buqu...Buqu."
Just when everyone was wondering what the old lady wanted to express, Li Xiaoqin reacted, walked quickly to Old Lady Wang, grabbed her hand and asked her anxiously.
"Mom, are you not going to let Qiu Shu go? If so, just nod your head."
As expected, Old Lady Wang nodded seriously.
Chen Chunshu looked at Old Lady Wang impatiently: "Mom, why are you making trouble at this time? Just lie down and do what you want!"
He knew that the old couple had always favored the third child.
After being scolded, Old Lady Wang's face immediately turned into an angry one. She pointed at Boss Shen with the hand that could still move and made some noises.
Although I couldn't hear what he was saying, I knew at a glance that he was scolding Shen Chunshu.
Boss Shen pretended not to notice the mother's anger and said to the other members of the Shen family, "Mom is already like this, what does she know?"
"We all have to go to the Zhao family today, otherwise Zhao Changgui will think that the Shen family has no men. This is related to the reputation of our entire Shen family."
Li Xiaoqin sneered, "Does our Shen family still have any dignity now? Didn't Hongmei lose it all a long time ago?"
When Wang Huilian heard this, she immediately rushed forward to fight with Li Xiaoqin, but was stopped by Shen Chunshu.
What's the point of fighting with the third brother's wife other than wasting time?
"Dad, can you make a decision about this? We can't just let Zhao Changgui beat Hongmei to death, right? Wouldn't that mean anyone can step on us and shit on us in the future?"
In fact, Old Man Shen has been thinking about this matter.
Go? There will be a quarrel.
He was not afraid of quarrels, but he knew that it was useless to talk to Zhao Changgui because of his violent temper. By then, the whole matter would be known to everyone in Zhaojiawan.
He was afraid of losing face.
Not going? I feel helpless.
When Old Lady Wang saw that the problem was thrown to the old man, she quickly pushed him away with her hands.
She kept muttering to him with her mouth and eyes, the meaning was self-evident: it was not worth it for the sake of a granddaughter!
Old man Shen looked at his three sons standing on the ground, wondering who to let go.
The eldest brother must go because she is his daughter and it is legitimate.
The second brother is quiet and won't add fuel to the fire, but if a fight breaks out, he can help.
As for the third brother, he is a smooth talker and unreliable in his work. It would be better for him not to go.
So after thinking for a long time, Old Man Shen said, "Big Boss, let the Second Brother go with you. The Third Brother is a jerk and unreliable, and he will cause trouble if he goes, so he shouldn't go."
"Dad?" Shen Chunshu looked at Old Man Shen with a livid face, feeling extremely angry.
As expected, is the bias so extreme?
Old Man Shen's proposal silenced Old Lady Wang and Li Xiaoqin.
All they cared about was that Chen Qiushu didn't go; they didn't care whether anyone else went or not.
After hearing this, Li Xiang wanted to refute, but looking at her father-in-law's expressionless face, her timid and cowardly character emerged again.
She turned to look at Chen Xiashu, hoping he would say something.
But Chen Xiashu has always listened to his parents the most. Now that Old Man Shen has spoken, how could he possibly refute it?
He stood up without saying a word.
In the end, the candidates to go to the Zhao family became: Shen Chunshu, Shen Xiashu, and Shen Limin.
Originally, Shen Weimin, the eldest son of the first wife, was excluded by everyone's tacit consent.
Ever since he said his feet hurt when he walked, both Old Man Shen and Shen Chunshu had consciously or unconsciously acquiesced to the fact that he did not go out.
Wang Huilian also wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Shen Chunshu.
Chen Chunshu felt that the old woman would just cry and make trouble out of nothing.
Although they went to support Shen Hongmei, it would be best to avoid a fight if possible.
So Shen Chunshu rejected Wang Huilian's request.
In this way, the group set out from Shen's house to Zhao's house at noon.
