Chapter 7: The Aftermath of the Killing



Although Shen Hongmei usually relies on her sweet words to coax Old Lady Wang around, she dare not act presumptuously in front of Old Man Shen.

In the eyes of old man Shen, Shen Chunshu is the eldest son, who will set up his own household in the future, and the eldest grandson is the one who will carry on the Shen family's bloodline, so he is of course also important.

As for the granddaughter, in the end, won’t she get married and become a member of another family?

Normally, he didn't care about this little girl because of his old wife. Now there's a lot of chaos at home, and she still dares to throw a tantrum at him?

He really doesn't know his place unless he's beaten.

Chen Hongmei got up like a mouse seeing a cat, went back to the house dejectedly, fetched a new basin of water, suppressed her nausea, and went to clean up for Old Lady Wang again.

Looking at Old Lady Wang's lower body which was as shriveled as old tree bark, Shen Hongmei suppressed the nausea in her chest and reluctantly cleaned up Old Lady Wang. She pulled a torn quilt from the kang cabinet next to her to cover her, and then walked out of the house as if there was a dog chasing her.

Just when he was about to pour out the dirty water in the basin, Chen Xiashu and his wife, who had gone out to help outside the courtyard gate, came back in a hurry.

Chen Hongmei was so angry that she poured a basin of dirty water at Li Xiang's feet.

"Ah..." Li Xiang was frightened by this sudden incident and screamed.

Shen Hongmei immediately mocked in a sarcastic tone: "Second Aunt's family is really promising. The little bastard dared to chop people with a knife. You two should go out and hide. It's true that people from the same family are like one family."

As they were talking, Shen Chunshu and his wife came back with Shen Weimin.

Chen Hongmei's eyes turned red, she threw the basin in her hand away, and shouted in great grievance: "Mom..."

When Chen Chunshu saw the second brother, he was furious. He pointed at Chen Xiashu's nose and started to curse: "Look at what a wicked child you raised. He dares to use a knife at such a young age. Won't he kill people and set fires in the future?"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't forgive you."

Except for Shen Limin who was playing outside and Old Lady Wang who was lying on the kang, almost all the Shen family members were present in the west room.

Liu Changshan held his pipe in his hand and knocked it on the edge of the kang: "Get rich, what's going on? When has such a thing happened in our village? Tell me!"

Liu Changshan didn't want to get involved, but as the village chief, he had to ask a few questions since others had come to him.

When Shen Weimin and Shen Siyue first started to clash, Old Man Shen was taking a nap and he didn't know what was going on.

When he rushed out, Shen Siyue had bitten Shen Weimin's ankle until it bled.

Before Old Man Shen could say anything, Wang Huilian, who was standing next to him, wiped her tears and cried, "Oh, that damn thing, I don't know why Si Nizi was so crazy. She bit Weimin so hard that he bled."

Liu Changshan naturally turned his head and looked at Shen Weimin.

Of course, Shen Weimin didn't dare to say that he had knocked Shen Siyue unconscious, so he told the story in a truncated way: "She came back with firewood, and the basket was not even full. I said a few words to her, but who knew she would bite me like crazy..."

Wang Huilian cried and looked at her son distressedly: "Uncle Changshan, didn't you see how badly Weimin was bitten? His flesh was almost bitten off. How much hatred does she have? Or did I, as her mother, offend her in some way, causing her to retaliate against us like this?"

Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family was about to sit on the ground and cry, Liu Changshan quickly tried to persuade her: "We are all family, how can there be any deep hatred? Just explain it clearly."

Old man Shen standing by had a gloomy expression on his face, and he felt so angry that his teeth were itching. He felt sorry for the suffering his eldest grandson had endured, and was also afraid of any sequelae that might remain in the future.

But family disgrace should not be made public, so at this time, he could only reluctantly respond: "It is unfortunate for our family, and a bad thing has happened, making everyone laugh at us!"

The villagers who helped carry the people hurried to persuade Old Man Shen.

"Don't say that. Si Nizi is usually such an obedient girl. She must have been bewitched by something, right?"

"Yes, yes, it must be for something. Uncle Zhifu will ask someone to call him tomorrow and specify it."

Everyone was talking, saying nice things.

Liu Changshan smoked a cigarette and looked at Old Man Shen: "I wonder if the fourth girl is awake? How about you send someone to check? If she is awake, call her over and we can ask her what's going on?"

Old Man Shen looked up and pointed at Old Man Shen: "Go, call that evil creature you gave birth to over here."

When Shen Lao Er saw that he was called, he said nothing and turned his head to look at his wife.

Just this one glance made Li Xiang shudder, and she quickly turned around and went back to her room to call for help.

Shen Siyue saw Li Xiang coming through the crack in the door, and hurried back to the room and sat down on the edge of the kang.

When Li Xiang entered the room and saw that someone had woken up, tears instantly came out of her eyes, she quickly walked to Shen Siyue, raised her hand and slapped her on the shoulder.

Then he shook Shen Siyue desperately with both hands: "You dead girl, you have caused a big disaster, you are paralyzed, you have killed me, you are trying to kill me..., you debt collector, I really owed you in my last life..."

Shen Siyue looked at her expressionlessly, letting her sway without saying a word.

Regardless of whether she was pretending to faint or not, she was indeed carried into the house in front of outsiders.

This mother, when she first met her, didn't even ask what happened? Why? Is she okay? She just blamed her for the trouble!

Shen Siyue became more and more angry as she thought about it, and reached out to push her to the ground.

He looked at Li Xiang fiercely: "Are you still my mother? Why don't you ask me why I bit that bastard? You come up and blame me for the trouble?"

"If I get beaten to death by someone, can I not fight back? And should I still smile and say: Good job?"
