As soon as Shen Qiushu finished speaking, Old Man Shen knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Wang Huilian slammed her chopsticks on the table with a "bang" and got angry at Shen Qiushu.
"Isn't it because I wanted to find you a wife that I let Hongmei marry that old bastard?"
"If it weren't for you, my Hongmei might be living a good life now?"
"You, the boss, didn't stand up for her when she was scolded and beaten, but now you are making sarcastic remarks about her?"
Chen Qiushu was confused by Wang Huilian's scolding: "Sister-in-law, just talk, why are you so anxious?"
“Besides, it was agreed that Shen Siyue would marry over, but I never said that Hongmei would marry over, so can you blame me for this?”
"Besides, a married woman is like spilled water. How can I interfere in the affairs between the couple? Am I supposed to lie on their windowsill every night and eavesdrop?"
“You…” Wang Huilian’s face turned red at Shen Qiushu’s dirty words.
"Alright, alright, what are you arguing about?" Old Man Shen shouted.
"Big Boss's wife, you can't get over this little thing, right? You keep saying it over and over again, are you done yet?"
"If you really care about Hongmei, then take her back."
"Anyway, there's already a murderer in the family, so we don't mind having another divorced woman. As long as you don't feel ashamed, it's fine!"
The woman's brain was as small as a pinhole. She kept talking about the same thing over and over again every day, which annoyed Old Man Shen to no end.
Seeing that her father-in-law was serious, Wang Huilian could only purse her lips and keep silent. However, she was still very angry in her heart and glared at Chen Qiushu several times with her eyes slanted.
She just wanted the men in the family to vent her daughter's anger, but she didn't want her daughter to get a divorce.
Nowadays, a divorced woman will be criticized by everyone, and her family will also be embarrassed.
If Shen Hongmei really divorced, how would the remaining two sons get married?
Seeing that the eldest son's wife finally stopped talking, Old Man Shen's expression softened.
He continued to persuade the eldest and his wife: "Don't think that the second brother's imprisonment has nothing to do with you."
"We are a family. We all prosper together and suffer together. Do you still need me to teach you?"
"Especially you, Boss. Do you still have Dawei and Dali to marry?"
"When people find out that the two of them have been arrested and put in jail, who would be willing to marry their daughter?"
Shen Chunshu listened for a long time without saying anything.
He really didn't want to meet or contact Zhao Changgui, especially to ask him for help. He could imagine what kind of person Zhao Changgui was.
At this time, Wang Huilian became excited again: "Dad, then you can divide the family property for us, so that it won't affect Dawei and Dali, right?"
This time, not only Shen Chunshu raised his head, but even Shen Qiushu was excited and stared at Old Man Shen.
"Don't even think about it. I've said it so many times that before I die, the three brothers will never split up. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
Old man Shen slapped the table with a "pa".
The broken plates and bowls on the table began to clatter due to the shaking.
Wang Huilian was startled. After she recovered, she couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced: "Dad, do you really want the second son to drag the whole family to hell?"
"He did it himself, why should we suffer the consequences? Isn't that right, Third Brother?"
Wang Huilian, who was about to fight with Chen Qiushu just now, no longer cared about the previous quarrel and quickly tried to win over Shen Laosan, urging him to split up the family business.
And Shen Qiushu was thinking the same thing, and nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Dad, I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense, you..."
"What's the point? Just shut up." Old man Shen slapped Shen Qiushu on the head.
Then he glared at Wang Huilian angrily: "How much work do Lao Er and his wife usually do? Don't you know it? Now that he is in trouble, you are going to abandon him?"
"Besides, if the family is divided, what will happen to the second son's wife? How will she survive if she is left alone?"
Old man Shen's question made Wang Huilian turn her head and look at Li Xiang, who had been sitting there silently.
If the family splits up, Li Xiang will be the only one left in the second son's family, and she will have to live with one of the families.
Li Xiang works a lot and eats little, but he is a good laborer. Most importantly, he is obedient and does whatever he is told to do.
Thinking of this, Wang Huilian said happily: "Then let the second son's wife live with us. I don't dislike her."
Old Man Shen: ...
"No, that won't work. We should let my second sister-in-law live with us. My wife is about to give birth, and she will have to take care of her during the confinement period!" Chen Qiushu also hurried to grab her.
Wang Huilian sneered: "Your wife's belly isn't even showing yet, isn't it too early to talk about giving birth now?"
Then, she secretly glanced at Old Man Shen again, and an idea came to her mind.
"Why don't you let Dad live with you? You two are young and haven't experienced much, so it's just right for Dad to take charge of the situation for you."
Wang Huilian doesn't want to have a huge mountain weighing on her head after the family division.
The old man is getting older every year. How much work can he still do?
It would be best if the old man and the third son lived together after the family split up. That way they could get rid of the second son, the murderer, and drive the father-in-law away with a legitimate reason. It would be the best of both worlds!
Shen Qiushu's face froze, and he immediately objected: "Since ancient times, parents have always lived with their eldest son. How can it be divided with the youngest son?"
