Su Yugui knew perfectly well that when the old lady celebrated her birthday, she had invited Shen Jichuan.
Look at him, everyone living in the family compound is crowding around him.
It wasn't for the sake of Old Madam Shen; it was just to give face to Shen Jichuan.
When Shen Zhenhua heard his son ask him about money, he immediately scolded him with a stern face:
"You've only been sending money home for a few years. What's wrong with me spending a little of your money? I raised you from childhood, how much have I spent on you?"
"Now that you've gotten more capable and your wings have hardened, you're starting to hold me accountable."
Shen Xiao frowned and explained, "I didn't mean to settle accounts with you. I just wanted to say, didn't you save any of the money I sent home? My grandmother's funeral banquet was too shabby and didn't look good."
"If it doesn't work, I'll borrow some money from my comrade-in-arms, and add the extra dishes and meat that need to be added."
Seeing that Shen Xiao had finished speaking and was about to leave, Su Yugui hurriedly stopped him.
“Your grandmother has passed away, so don’t worry too much about the funeral banquet. Besides, these neighbors are just casual acquaintances. They’re just here to help out. We can repay them later. Why put on such a lavish feast and let them eat it all, leaving us starving?”
Shen Xiao disagreed with this statement.
However, it was clear that he could not make the decisions regarding his grandmother's funeral.
He then said dejectedly, "Whatever."
After Shen Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the question he had wanted to ask his parents earlier.
Only then did he speak up and ask, "I just went to see Shen Jichuan. I asked him if he deliberately angered my grandmother to death. He said no, and even said that it was you, Dad, who went to see Shen Jichuan at the hospital to see my grandmother?"
"Dad, what are you thinking? Why did you send Shen Jichuan to see my grandma? You know she hates him the most. Why did you send him?"
Shen Xiao wanted to ask Shen Zhenhua what his purpose was in doing this.
These words struck a nerve with Shen Zhenhua.
He wanted Shen Jichuan to visit the old lady of the Shen family in the hospital. She was old and pitiful, and he told Shen Jichuan not to hold a grudge against her.
Shen Zhenhua wanted to use this reason to ease his relationship with Shen Jichuan.
But Shen Jichuan refused outright.
Even in the hospital ward, pointing to Zhang Yourong's name, he said that she was so vicious that she drove Shen Jichuan's mother to her death, and now all the retribution has fallen on Zhang Yourong's son and grandson...
Zhang Yourong's most cherished possessions were her only son and only grandson.
Upon hearing Shen Jichuan say that he would not make life easier for the eldest branch of the Shen family in the future, I was so angry that I fainted.
Already on the verge of death, he was further angered and died overnight.
Shen Zhenhua, the instigator, shifted all the blame onto Shen Jichuan.
He embellished his story for Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao acted impulsively at the time, blinded by the grief of his grandmother's death, and actually believed Shen Zhenhua's words. His chest was filled with hatred for Shen Jichuan.
After sending his grandmother off at her funeral, Shen Xiao angrily went straight to find Shen Jichuan.
However, due to Shen Jichuan's current status, he did not act impulsively. On the contrary, this rationality was particularly unlike Shen Zhenhua.
This is also why Shen Jichuan didn't want to push Shen Xiao into a corner.
Shen Jichuan made it clear that he was judging Shen Xiao as someone else, aside from the perspective of an uncle and nephew.
Even after Shen Xiao spoke with Shen Jichuan, he still harbored doubts about Shen Jichuan's words.
But now, he felt that Shen Jichuan might not be entirely wrong; his father was simply becoming more and more confused.
