Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Captain, my family wants to approve the foundation
Shen Shengli and his family returned to Yangliu Brigade around lunchtime, and as soon as they got back they heard about what happened yesterday. The members who were talking to them also said that Shen Laoqi was probably pushed too hard, and his temperament suddenly changed, and he was completely different from before.
At the beginning of the year, a girl from Songshu Brigade went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and broke her head. After she came back from the county people's hospital, she became a different person. She used to be honest, but now she is acting like a jerk all the time. This news spread to all the villages.
Shen Laoqi wasn't that exaggerated, but it was somewhat true.
Shen Shengli didn't believe it at first, but now he really believes it.
After all, Shen Shaoyuan, who used to be so useless that he couldn't even fart even after three sticks hit him, now dares to accuse him, the eldest brother, of being a liar in person, and even flatters the captain!
Shen Shengli felt that the situation was more difficult than expected, but he still spoke before Zhou Mancang: "Seventh Brother, your nephews have lived in those two rooms for many years, with their families. You can't just force them to sleep on the street, right? As an uncle, you should be more generous. Your nephews will remember your kindness. When Mo'er gets married, won't your nephews be filial to you? When you are old, won't your nephews also break pots and beat banners for you?"
Shen Shengli didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Shen Shaoyuan has no sons but only a daughter, which is almost the same as having no descendants. If he can be clear-headed, he should make more contributions now and have a good relationship with his nephews.
He believed that he was speaking out of sincerity and for Shen Shaoyuan's own good.
I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as this.
Shen Shaoyuan was so angry that he almost laughed. He pointed at his nephews who were sitting or squatting, and sneered: "Let them smash pots and banners for me. I ask you, which of them can walk behind me? Instead of persuading me, you might as well persuade them to be filial to me. Later, I can burn some paper money for them to spend!"
Tsk, think about his Shen Shaoyuan’s nephews, they are all princes of the Daliang Dynasty, all of them are handsome and elegant, not like these ugly ones.
Shen Shengli really didn't think about it carefully at first. He just thought that Shen Shaoyuan himself had no son, and he would have to rely on his nephew to take care of him in his old age. He forgot that Shen Shaoyuan was older than him, but he was younger!
Looking at his sons and nephews who were either a few years older than Shen Shaoyuan or younger than him but looked older than him, Shen Shengli's mouth twitched and he was choked and speechless for a long time.
"Even if your nephews can't take care of you in your old age, don't you still have your nieces and grandchildren? Besides, let's not talk about those far away. Take your Mo'er for example. No matter where she marries, won't she still have to rely on the support of her brothers from her mother's family? So, we are all family. There is really no need to divide it so clearly. Your family is small, so one room is enough. Your nephews will remember your kindness and will definitely help Mo'er more, right?"
The person who spoke was Shen Yongjun, the second son of the Shen family.
It is said that one should judge others by oneself. Shen Shengli himself has no daughter and does not like girls, so he thinks that Shen Shaoyuan should be the same as himself and be most concerned about the issue of taking care of his parents in their old age.
Shen Yongjun has a pretty daughter who has a high school education and works as a teacher in a village primary school. Even though he is patriarchal, he still loves his daughter Shen Lingling very much.
Therefore, compared to Shen Shengli, Shen Yongjun can naturally better understand Shen Shaoyuan's love for his daughter, and also knows what Shen Shaoyuan's weakness is.
To say that a married woman needs the support of her family, Shen Shaoyuan was really touched.
After all, his little Moer was once a noble princess of Daliang. Speaking of her mother's family, is there anyone in the world with better support than the royal family and her uncle who is the emperor?
But that's also because his royal brother truly loves Moli.
As for these people in front of him... Shen Shaoyuan couldn't help but sneer again: "Are they the ones who exchanged the good house for the patrons, or the ones who took away all the food?"
Chen Moer hasn't even gotten married yet, but these people are already eager to take all of her things into their own homes. When they bully others, they never care about the so-called family ties.
Just like this, do you expect them to support Shen Moli in the future?
This is just a foolish dream!
After leaving Daliang, Shen Shaoyuan was like a tiger in a plain, but he didn't think that his own Mo'er would need these misfits to support her in the future.
He raised his eyebrows and said directly, "Alright, you guys are just trying to take advantage of my family. I tell you, it's impossible! I was confused before and listened to your nonsense. From now on, every needle and thread in my house belongs to Moer. If anyone wants to steal it, I will not hang myself, but strangle him to death with a rope!"
Shen Shaoyuan used to be such a weak person, but now he suddenly becomes eager to fight and kill. Not only is Captain Zhou Mancang troubled, but the people in the old Shen family are also dumbfounded.
It is said that the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tough, and the tough are afraid of those who don't care about their lives. Shen Shaoyuan's triple jump made Shen Shengli and Shen Yongjun dare not say a word.
Shen Shaoyuan has only one daughter, but they have children and grandchildren. If they are really pushed to the limit, they will all go crazy if they are strangled to death with a rope.
Seeing that there was no room for improvement in the situation, Tian Fang became anxious and kept winking at her sister-in-law Liu Huihua.
Liu Huihua was a person who had no ideas of her own and looked to Shen Shengli for everything, and now that Shen Shengli was silent, she certainly didn’t dare to speak.
Tian Fang had no choice but to speak up: "Seventh Brother, I want to apologize to you for the food issue first. I really don't know the situation. If I knew what was going on, I would definitely stop your third sister-in-law, right?"
Since the third brother's family was not present, Tian Fang simply pushed the blame onto Cao Mei.
Then she continued, "You did suffer a little loss regarding the house, but Old Seven, don't underestimate those two houses. We have been renovating them every year to make them so good. Both our families have invested a lot of money in them. If you want to change them back, you have to pay us back. I'm afraid you can't afford so much money given your family's situation."
She said in a sincere manner, "Your family is simple, so one house is enough for you. It's just leaking. Let your nephews fix it. I promise to fix it tightly for you. Do you think it's okay?"
Repairing a house does cost some money, but compared to changing it, it’s nothing.
After all, it seems impossible for them to avoid losing any blood in today's incident.
Shen Shengli naturally understood this and immediately said, "Yes, let your nephews do the repairs. They should fix the walls and replace the tiles. I promise to repair it tightly for you."
Shen Shaoyuan laughed sarcastically and said, "Are you still treating me like a fool?"
At this time, Shen Moer, who had been sitting there watching the fun without saying a word, suddenly spoke up: "Dad, actually the place we live in now is pretty good, and we can walk fewer steps to work."
Tian Fang's face lit up: "Look, Old Seven, Mo'er likes to live at the entrance of the village."
Shen Moer smiled shyly and said, "My father loves me, so he wanted to exchange the house so that I can live more comfortably. However, I really can't bear to see my cousins with their families have nowhere to live."
Tian Fang was even happier: "Mo'er is such a good girl, kind-hearted. Don't worry, your cousins will definitely remember your kindness, and no matter where you marry in the future, they will support you!"
Shen Moer smiled harmlessly: "My cousins are used to living here, and I am used to living here too. Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's okay not to move the house back..."
Shen Shengli slapped his thigh and said, "Of course, Old Seven, you are not as generous as your daughter!"
Chen Moer's expression remained unchanged, and she continued, "However, the two blue brick and tile houses and the adobe house, the houses can be exchanged back, but the difference should be given to us, right? That house is spacious, one room can be used as two rooms, and now it costs at least two hundred yuan to build such a room, and two rooms are four hundred. The one my family lives in now, let's say it's priced at one hundred, the difference is three hundred. Uncle and second uncle, you pay the difference, we'll sign a document, and this matter will be over, okay?"
Is it possible? Of course not!
The mood of the Shen family was full of ups and downs. They thought Shen Moli was more timid than a lice and wanted to persuade her father, but they didn't expect that she would ask for three hundred yuan at the first moment!
Shen Shengli kicked the stool angrily, and Shen Yongjun also stood up: "You little girl, why are you so arrogant?!"
Shen Moer, who was stared at angrily by them, did not blink, and said slowly: "I haven't calculated the labor cost of building the house yet. After all, we are all family. If my family builds a house, my cousins will definitely come to help, right?"
Shen Shaoyuan also stood up and slapped a hemp rope on the table: "If you don't pay, change the room. If anyone glares at my daughter again, I will strangle him to death!"
Several sons of Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen also stood up immediately.
Zhou Mancang slammed the table and said, "What? Do you want to fight in the brigade headquarters? Sit down!"
He pointed at Zhou Peijun who was squatting at the door and said, "If anyone makes trouble again, you can ride my bicycle to call the police!"
The people from the Shen family were glared at by him and sat back down reluctantly.
Zhou Mancang made the final decision: "Okay, either change the house or pay up. There is no reason in the world to occupy someone else's house for nothing!"
Tian Fang wanted to play the victim: "We have no money, Captain, where can we get so much money?"
Shen Moer said, "If you really don't have money, just use your stuff as collateral. I don't need the other things in your house, but Shen Lingling's..."
"No, no! Give her money, Mom, give her money!" Shen Lingling screamed.
Logically, today's incident had nothing to do with her, a girl who would get married sooner or later. Shen Lingling asked her mother to bring him to her, not for any other reason, but because she was afraid that Shen Moli would take her job.
People are always greedy. Her family occupied half of the big brick and tile house, but her parents were still not satisfied. Now it was obvious that they couldn't just occupy this half of the house for nothing. If she could trade her job for one or even more houses, Shen Lingling felt that her parents would most likely agree.
After all, a daughter's job will be brought to her husband's family in the future, but the house will always remain in her parents' home.
"I can pay for it. I can give my family an extra three dollars every month. Mom, give them the money. We only have half a room. Seventy-five dollars is enough. It's a good deal to buy a half room like that with seventy-five dollars!"
Shen Lingling glanced at Shen Shengli quickly: “If the uncle’s family doesn’t want to pay, we can pay a little more, and everyone can live in a more spacious place.”
Shen Yongjun and Tian Fang looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.
Shen Shengli was so angry that he almost fell backwards. The horn of war had just been blown, and they had already started a quarrel among themselves. His family had many children, and even if they took up an extra room and a half, they were still stretched to the limit. If another room and a half were taken away by the second child's family, the little grandchildren at home would really have to sleep in a hanging position.
Without waiting for the second family to speak, Shen Shengli slammed the table and said, "Two hundred and twenty-five yuan, one and a half rooms, the captain as a witness, sign a written agreement!"
Just like that, Chen Moer sold the big brick and tile house for three hundred yuan.
After Liu Huihua and Tian Fang went home to get the money and signed the agreement with the team leader as a witness, Shen Moer asked Zhou Mancang with a smile: "Team leader, my family wants to approve a foundation to build another house next to the one we live in now, is that okay?"
