Chapter 41: Grabbing Soybean Oil
Shen Qingyue's words made the Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very angry.
Xu Xiuzhi said, "Now that your parents are gone, the responsibility of filial piety falls on the two of you."
She took a fancy to this barrel of soybean oil and was determined to get it no matter what.
Shen Qingyue said, "My parents passed away, and the village compensated us 500 yuan. The three of us sisters only took 300 yuan, and there are still 200 yuan left. Isn't that enough for you to spend? We didn't even want the house. Now we are doing a small business, and you still want to take our seasonings. There is no way to bully people like this!"
Xu Xiuzhi said, "I don't care."
Shen Qingyue said: "Heh."
With her current ability to make money, she doesn't care about this barrel of oil, but the group of people in the Shen family's old house are just trying to take advantage of the situation.
If we don't treat them the first time, it will be difficult later.
Xu Xiuzhi stiffened her neck and said, "No matter what happens, I, the granddaughter, have to support my grandparents."
Liu Yu and Zeng Juhua said nothing.
During this period, Shen Qingyue became rich, and they often heard the villagers' sour words and asked them if they regretted it.
Now that my mother-in-law is taking the lead, they are naturally willing to do it. Let's see if we can get some benefits from them.
Zeng Juhua, in particular, said, "You're about to build a house, why are you still holding on to this little money? Besides, your grandmother is not an outsider, right?"
Shen Qingyue said, "You are quite generous, but don't be too lenient with others. I've heard that my second uncle saved a lot of money and never gave any of the money he earned outside to the government. I'm still short of twelve hundred for building a house, so why don't you give me some?"
This sentence made Third Aunt Liu Yu alert immediately: "Second sister-in-law, you won't turn it in?"
They haven't divided up the family business yet, so all the money they earn has to go to the public.
Liu Yu had always thought that his second sister-in-law was fake, so when he heard Shen Qingyue's words, he believed it about 80%.
Zeng Juhua cursed Liu Yu in her heart for being an idiot. They should have been united against the outside world, but why was he targeting her? "Don't listen to this girl trying to sow discord. When have I not handed over my money to the government? You believe everything they say and don't even use your brain."
Shen Qingyue said beside her: "Third Aunt, Second Aunt is so smart. Why do I say that about her and not others? Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Just look at Second Aunt's clothes, one after another. Where does she get the money?"
Liu Yu's eyebrows suddenly stood up.
Shen Qingyue continued, "Aunt San, your family has many daughters, and the Shen family likes to sell daughters to support their sons. If the money you earned from selling your daughters doesn't go to Shen Tianci, but helps others raise their sons, do you think you'd be angry?"
Liu Yu immediately said: "Angry."
Xu Xiuzhi warned, "Don't get involved outside."
She suddenly realized that this matter was out of her control, and Shen Qingyue actually provoked a conflict between her two daughters-in-law.
Soon, Mrs. Li came over and said, "Xu Xiuzhi, what are you doing here again? Are you just being quiet for a few days because you can't bear to see Shen Qingyue having a good life?"
Old Mrs. Li had always sympathized with Shen Qingyue's situation, and now that her son was driving the ox cart for Shen Qingyue, the bond between them was even closer than before.
As soon as he heard that the Shen family was starting to cause trouble for Shen Qingyue again, he rushed over immediately.
Xu Xiuzhi felt a little annoyed: "Why are you everywhere? This is our family affair."
Old Mrs. Li snorted disdainfully, "We've already split up the family, and you're still talking about family matters! You don't take the village rules seriously at all. Without rules, there's no order. If everyone were like you, what would happen?"
I saw more and more people gathering around me.
Someone has already gone to look for Grandpa Shen Daniu and the village chief.
The two arrived at about the same time.
Shen Daniu said, "What's the matter now?" There was a strong sense of dissatisfaction in Shen Daniu's voice.
Before the incident, the Shen family was a respectable family, and they thought that everything would be fine after the family split up.
Who would have thought that dividing the family would bring about so many more troubles?
The villagers laughed at them. For someone like him, face was more important than anything else. He heard that the noise had started again. He rushed over in anger.
Although he was speaking to everyone, his words revealed his dissatisfaction with Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue said: "My grandma came up and grabbed the food. This is the food we eat, we can't give it away. My grandma is not going to stand it anymore and is making a fuss here."
The village chief frowned and said, "Hasn't the family already split up?"
Shen Daniu angrily scolded his wife: "You think it's not shameful enough?"
Xu Xiuzhi, who had been completely humiliated by her old man's yelling in front of everyone, said now, "It's only natural for a granddaughter like her to be filial to us. We wouldn't even be willing to give her a bucket of soybean oil. We raised her back then. Even if she didn't have any credit, she still worked hard."
As soon as these words fell, Shen Daniu immediately looked at Shen Qingyue.
It seemed as if he was exerting pressure silently.
The village chief said, "Auntie, these two children just separated from the family, and the little money they had was gone as soon as they spent it. They also have to make a living. Even if they are filial, they still have to celebrate the New Year."
The village chief's words caused the people around him to start talking again.
"Auntie, please don't just focus on the eldest sister. It's not easy for those two sisters either."
"that is!"
The village chief said, "We've already split up, I don't understand what the fuss is about."
The village chief's words were almost like calling them shameless.
Isn't it just bullying Shen Qingyue because she has no other relatives to support her?
The people in the village speak very directly and don't care what others think.
Shen Daniu's expression grew increasingly grim. Finally, he practically yelled, "Go home." Before leaving, he added, "Live your own life from now on."
These words were meant purely for Shen Qingyue to hear, with a subtle threat in their voice. If Shen Qingyue really needed their support in the future, they would absolutely not help.
Shen Qingyue said: "Yes, grandma, you should be more sensible. Look how angry you made grandpa."
Xu Xiuzhi was almost vomiting blood in anger: "I am angry about this, it's obviously you."
Shen Qingyue said: "If you hadn't openly snatched things, I wouldn't have done this. Grandma, you're already old, ah, I really don't know how to say hello to you."
As she hesitated to speak, the discussion among the people around her became more heated.
The Shen family went back in disgrace.
When they arrived at the Shen family's house, Shen Daniu said to Xu Xiuzhi, "Why did you mess with her for no reason?"
Shen Daniu finally realized that he would never have the upper hand against Shen Qingyue.
Xu Xiuzhi failed to get such a big bucket of soybean oil and was ridiculed. She was so angry and anxious that she fell ill when she got home.
…
Shen Qingyue returned home to work. She had too much work to do every day and had no time to greet people.
What Mr. Shen said before was that he didn't want her to benefit from the Shen family anymore. Girls in the village couldn't build houses.
The Shen family was ready to wait for Shen Qingyue to beg him.
Who would have thought that that night, truckloads of sand, cement, and steel bars would be parked on the land where Shen Qingyue was going to build her house.
The villagers all looked at each other in bewilderment. Were the Shen sisters really going to bypass the village to build their house?
