087: The Old House's Clever Calculation (2/2)



Later, Shen Jichuan made headlines for his numerous meritorious deeds in the army.

Shen Zhenhua immediately boasted to the public, "This is my second brother."

Shen Zhenhua, relying on the name of Shen Jichuan, has held the position of director of the Education Bureau for many years.

Shen Jichuan has a bad relationship with the old mansion, but the people on the old mansion side rely on Shen Jichuan's status as a big leader.

Shen Zhenhua heard this from a colleague's friend:

"Director Shen, your younger brother, Deputy Division Commander Shen, is getting married today. Why didn't you go?"

Shen Zhenhua rushed back, intending to ask his mother.

Then I heard from my wife that my mother had collapsed from anger.

Shen Zhenhua immediately directed his anger at Shen Jichuan.

“Over the years, he has transformed into a big leader. Now that he has become capable, he has started to look down on the people in the old house.”

“If Dad were still alive, he wouldn’t be so arrogant.”

Su Yugui immediately stepped forward to comfort Shen Zhenhua.

“Zhenhua, that’s true, but right now, our son is still in the army, and we can’t afford to offend Jichuan. No matter how angry you are, don’t go looking for him. Even your mother can’t persuade him, so you certainly can’t.”

“Ji Chuan is not young anymore. You don’t know, Wen Qiao is very young, even a year younger than our Meng Yao. Do you think their marriage can last?”

"Who knows, in a few years... Wen Qiao will be the one to ask for a divorce."

Shen Zhenhua said coldly:

"I don't believe our family has to rely on Shen Jichuan."

“The son’s abilities are his own. If the son were incompetent, given the second son’s personality, he wouldn’t have helped at all.”

Su Yugui's eyes darted around, and she immediately said:

"Did you know that Shen Haiyang is getting married too? He's marrying Yang Hongyu's daughter, Yang Xuelan."

"Yang Hongyu? I remember him. He was some kind of chief of staff, and his official rank wasn't low."

Su Yugui curled her lip and sneered.

"The second son wants to marry Wen Qiao, but Shen Haiyang is not willing. The second son also doesn't want Shen Haiyang to marry Yang Xuelan, so the father and son have become enemies. Shen Haiyang and Yang Xuelan have come to me a few times, hoping I can persuade the second son, but I can't persuade them."

“I think if we can build a good relationship with the Yang family, I’ve heard that Yang Xuelan has a younger brother who is two years older than Mengyao.”

“If Mengyao marries into the Yang family, and Yang Xuelan marries Shen Haiyang, our family won’t have to put up with Shen Jichuan’s attitude anymore.”

“Shen Haiyang and the second brother don’t get along right now. If we treat him better, won’t he become closer to us in the future?”

Shen Haiyang lost his parents and had long since stopped contacting his relatives.

Now that he has fallen out with his adoptive father, Shen Jichuan, he has no one left to rely on.

Su Yugui figured they should take this opportunity to win Shen Haiyang over to their side.

Shen Zhenhua looked at his wife.

"You mean, our old house is related to the Yang family through marriage. The Yang family is also the second son's political rival, so we're closer to the Yang family and further away from the second son..."

Su Yugui hurriedly said, "Zhenhua, although the second brother is your younger brother, have you seen him show us any respect over the years?"

"He hated the old house from the bottom of his heart."

Su Yugui had no grudge against Shen Jichuan.

But her husband did have a bad relationship with Shen Jichuan.

Shen Jichuan was only slightly nicer to her than to strangers, nothing more.

"Also, before the old man passed away, he pulled the second son into the house and said something to him. Who knows what he said?"

“I heard from my mother that when the old man was fighting, he confiscated the property of an old landlord. He probably had a lot of private property, which he left to his second son.”

“The second brother never tells us anything. Over the years, I’ve thought about him in everything. Even a stone would have been warmed up by now.”

"Look, is the second brother treating us any better now?"

Shen Zhenhua knew about this; his mother had told him.

The old man had confiscated a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry from the old landlord's house.

However, these items don't match up in terms of amount.

The old man was even invited for tea.

Shen Zhenhua was too young to remember clearly at the time, but Zhang Yourong did.

At that time, someone went back to my hometown to investigate.

They gave up only after finding nothing.

Zhang Yourong felt that her damned husband must have been hiding something.

But those things weren't given to her; they were all kept for him and that female military doctor's child.

Shen Zhenhua's eyes held a calculating look.

He said in a low voice, "I'll find an opportunity to visit the Yang family later."

Shen Haiyang is about to marry Yang Xuelan, and it's not good for the Shen family to send anyone to visit the Yang family.

Shen Haiyang had a falling out with his adoptive father, Shen Jichuan, and he took this opportunity to visit the Yang family.

When Shen Haiyang finds out, he will definitely be grateful to his uncle.
