Old man Shen's firm opposition once again shattered the hopes of Wang Huilian, Shen Qiushu and others to split the family business.
Wang Huilian was angry. She sat next to Shen Chunshu and poked him, signaling him to say something quickly!
Shen Chunshu thought about it and was about to open his mouth to speak when he was yelled back by Old Man Shen.
"Boss, shut up. I don't want to hear you talk now."
"Get out, all of you, get out of my sight."
Old Man Shen got angry and waved his hand to drive away the others.
After Chen Qiushu finished the porridge in his bowl in a few mouthfuls, he quickly went downstairs and returned to his small east room.
Chen Chunshu and his family also patted their butts and left.
The table and the floor were a mess, and only Li Xiang was left cleaning up the mess carefully.
Old man Shen leaned dejectedly on the windowsill. He found that even though he was old, he was still so unpopular among his sons?
The mutual blame-shifting between the eldest son's wife and the third son just now really hurt Old Man Shen's heart.
He felt that he had always been devoted to his family and had done things fairly and justly.
He is particularly partial to the eldest and the third child. How come no one wants to support him now?
I'm even not as good as my second son's wife?
Old man Shen looked much older in an instant, staring at Li Xiang who was working.
"Second daughter-in-law, if the family is divided, who should I live with?"
Li Xiang paused while sweeping the floor, and looked at Old Man Shen with her mouth open in confusion.
Seeing her look so silly, Old Man Shen quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't talk, shut up. Look at your stupid look, it makes me angry."
He was really blinded by greed just now, and he actually asked her in a confused state?
Li Xiang felt a little aggrieved.
It was my father-in-law who asked the questions first, and I was scolded without saying a word.
She doesn't even know where she went wrong?
In the west room, Wang Huilian was complaining to Shen Chunshu: "Why didn't you say a word when we were having dinner just now?"
"Can't you see the situation now? The second child will have to go to jail at the very least. If a prisoner comes out of our family, how bad will the names of Dawei and Dali sound?"
"Why don't you divide the family now before the second son is sentenced?"
Chen Chunshu lay on the kang, staring at the ceiling with his eyes narrowed.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Wang Huilian became impatient: "Why don't you say something? Are you mute?"
Chen Chunshu frowned and said irritably: "What are you arguing about? Do you think I don't want to divide the family? The old man won't give in, so just give up on this idea!"
"Besides, if we divide the family now, how do we divide the debt owed to Hu Lili?"
Speaking of the debt, although Wang Huilian was still a little unconvinced, her voice revealed a hint of guilt: "Then it should belong to the third brother, right?"
"It was he who first attacked Zhao Changgui, which caused us to owe the debt. If he doesn't pay it back, who will?"
Chen Chunshu glanced at her with his eyes slanted, and sneered, "Do you dare to say this in front of the third brother? Do you believe that he can push the roof off?"
At the beginning, Chen Qiushu also beat Zhao Changgui because of the affairs of their family.
If he gave the debt to the third son as his wife said, he would definitely make a fuss.
Moreover, Shen Chunshu was also worried that the old man obviously favored the third son more. If he proposed dividing the family now, he might have to bear the debt himself.
This is also the reason why Shen Chunshu has been silent today.
After listening to Shen Chunshu's analysis, Wang Huilian felt very unwilling.
She couldn't help but complain, "When will this miserable life end? Dawei has been delayed by them."
Chen Chunshu couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what's going on recently. In the past six months, bad things have happened one after another at home. Nothing has gone smoothly. Sigh..."
At this time, Shen Weimin next to him suddenly spoke: "I think something is wrong since the dead girl woke up from hitting the wall."
"Before, she wouldn't say a word even if I hit her with a few sticks. How come she dared to chop people with a knife after that incident?"
“Since then, our family has been unlucky. It must be because Shen Siyue is unlucky for our family.”
Shen Weimin's words really made Shen Chunshu and his wife ponder.
Thinking back on everything that happened in the past six months, it seems that there has been no peace at home since that time.
Wang Huilian suddenly propped up her upper body with her arms and asked Shen Chunshu nervously, "Do you still remember the time when Xiao Quezi came to our house?"
"When he saw the dead girl from the second brother's family, he was terrified. Do you think that evildoer is really targeting our family?"
Chen Chunshu also remembered what happened last time, and couldn't help but hesitate: "How about... let him come and have a look again?"
"Well, that guy Xiao Quezi never misses..." Wang Huilian thought she had found the reason, but when she heard that her man wanted Xiao Quezi to do it again, her enthusiasm was immediately extinguished.
That guy charges money or gifts for fortune-telling.
The Shen family is short of everything now and has nothing to offer.
Shen Chunshu felt somewhat discouraged when he thought about his own family's situation.
But Wang Huilian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey? I have an idea..."
"What can an old woman like you do?" Shen Chunshu was obviously unconvinced.
Wang Huilian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Tsk, are you looking down on me? Just wait and see. Regardless of whether she is targeting our family or not, I will feel relieved if I can make her suffer."
"Dawei, go get some hay for mom, and find two small sticks that are as thick as your thumb."
After hearing this, Shen Weimin quickly turned over and turned his back to Wang Huilian, muttering in dissatisfaction: "It's not easy to take a break at noon, what are you doing, mother? I don't want to move, let Dali go!"
When Shen Limin, who was standing next to him, heard this, he quickly closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly and began to pretend to snore.
Shen Weimin was so angry that he hit him with a stick: "Why are you pretending? Just now your eyes were as big as a cow's eyeball, and now you snore when I ask you to do some work?"
This hit Shen Limin on the waist, and he gasped in pain. He simply stopped pretending: "Mom said to let you go, why do you order me around?"
Shen Weimin: "Just because I'm your brother, are you going or not?"
"No, I want to see what you can do to me." Shen Limin's stubborn temper also came up.
Every day, anyone in this family can order him around, and they treat him like a little kid?
Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight, Wang Huilian quickly stopped them and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's just a small matter. Why are you arguing? I can go by myself, okay?"
Wang Huilian climbed up from the kang, went into the pile of firewood and started tinkering with it.
