Chapter 139 Shen Family Events
The more Cui spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.
My eyes became red when I talked about it.
I think she grew up in luxury.
Shen Chengzhou felt so distressed when he saw Cui like this.
His wife suffered a lot with him.
I can't stand it anymore.
"Since the second son and his wife have done this, there's no need to save face for them. If we stay, I don't know what will happen."
"Shao Jing, go find the village head and get this resolved today."
Shen Chengzhou usually doesn't talk much at home, but once he speaks, his words are final.
Shen Shaojing was a little dazed and hadn't come back to his senses yet.
"Mom and Dad, what did you mean just now? What about saving or not? Why didn't I understand?"
Shen Shaojing is smart and always feels that there is some secret that he doesn't know.
Are my parents going to tell it now?
Seeing that Shen Chengzhou had spoken, Cui sighed.
I didn't expect things to come to this point.
In that case, there is no need to hide it from the children.
She began to speak, "Your eldest and second brothers are not your biological brothers. There was a drought at the time, and the roads were full of refugees. Your eldest brother was only about one year old at the time. Your father and I happened to be passing by, and we couldn't bear it, so we saved him..."
"Your second brother was ill with a fever at the time, and his family was about to abandon him. Your father and I wanted to save him, but they demanded money. We essentially spent a few taels of silver to buy him off, along with the deed."
"Your third brother, you and your sister, the three of you are your father's and my biological children, you are siblings."
When Shen Shaojing heard the news, he felt like thunder was rolling above his head.
He was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't recover for a long time.
"No wonder we don't look like our older brothers. When we were little, some people said they didn't look like our parents. So this is what's going on."
"In this case, I don't have any psychological burden."
"Our family doesn't owe them anything. Instead, they owe our parents."
"When I saw my second brother and his wife before, they had sullen faces, as if my parents owed them something. Seeing them like that, I felt unhappy."
"Humph, it seems like Second Brother was born that way. His family members were able to do such things back then. You can tell what kind of person they are at heart. Whether they have a good heart or not can't be taught."
Shen Shaojing felt that at this moment, the anger in his heart was finally released.
Chen Chengzhou said: "Okay, our family has done things openly and honestly, and we don't owe them anything, so we are upright and established. You go find the head of the village and call a few old clan leaders, and we will make things clear tonight."
Xinghua Village is a large village with many people and many outsiders. Whenever there is any major event, the village head and several prestigious old clan leaders will be invited to act as witnesses.
Shen Shaojing's expression was much better now, and he said, "I'll go right away."
Ever since the family split up, his second brother and sister-in-law have often angered his parents.
Once the matter is resolved, my parents won’t have to suffer from their anger anymore.
Shen Shaojing ran to the headman's house and briefly explained what happened.
The head of Xinghua Village sighed and said, "When your parents came to settle in the village, they told us about the origins of the eldest and second sons and asked us to keep it a secret."
“I didn’t expect it would come to this.”
The wife of the village head said, "When the eldest and second sons were arguing about dividing the family, I saw that there would be a day like this. Someone else in the village also divided the family, but it wasn't so ugly."
"The second son is really too much. He lets his wife ride on his mother's head. It's his mother who raised him. She doesn't owe him anything. It seems like he should always pay her back."
"It makes me feel weird."
"Only Cui has a good temper."
The village head shook his head and said, "I'll go find some clan leaders to go with me."
Shen Shaojing nodded.
After a while, the village head and three respected clan leaders of the village went to the Shen family.
The weather in May is warm and the days are long. It is also the slack season for farmers. After dinner, many families will bring stools to the door to chat with their neighbors.
It was dinner time, and when the villagers saw the head of the village and the clan leader heading towards the Shen family, they realized that something big might have happened.
"Is there something big happening with the Shen family?"
"The previous separation was already a big deal, what else could happen?"
For the villagers, dividing the family property is a big deal.
Generally, the village head is asked to be a witness.
However, there are still few families in the village that have split up.
Many still live with their parents so that they can take care of each other.
Every household mainly relies on farming for a living, and the farming lifestyle turns the relationship among family members into one of mutual dependence.
During the busy farming season, the whole family works together on the farm. Those who water the land water, those who plow the land also help each other, and those who sow the seeds sow the seeds.
"What happened?"
"Go over and take a look?"
Many people were restless and gathered at the door of the Shen family, looking inside.
After a while, Cui asked the villagers to call the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife over.
The villagers were all watching, and the parents were calling out, so the eldest and second sons' families didn't dare to refuse.
The second son and his wife looked very unhappy.
Zou said, "Your sister must have complained. Parents must know what happened during the day."
Shen Shaolei said: “If you know, you know. Don’t be afraid. Let’s go find my sister. If there is anything wrong.”
Instigated by his wife, Shen Shaolei became increasingly dissatisfied with his parents.
I feel they are biased.
Do things without giving them face.
"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of. Even if it's someone from the village, we can tell them something. The parents are helping the third and fourth children, hiding the secrets and leaving us alone."
"I think when we split up the family, they were deliberately forcing us to split up."
After Zou came out, she went to her eldest brother and sister-in-law's house first.
Looking at his eldest sister-in-law Dong, he said, "Sister-in-law, we don't know what our parents are calling us for so late at night."
Dong said, "Second sister-in-law, have you done something again?"
"What can I do? You think my sister is capable. She only cares about the third and fourth brothers and doesn't care about our two families. I went to ask them. I thought they would hire someone anyway, so why not hire one of our own? You don't know, it's twenty cents a day, and my sister really dares to give it..."
"They even built a big house, so large and magnificent. Do you think my parents secretly gave all the money to my sister?"
Mrs. Dong frowned and said nothing.
She actually had doubts in her heart.
It’s just that they requested to separate at that time, so naturally there are some things that cannot be asked again.
The two families came to the Shen family while talking.
When they saw the village head and several clan leaders were there, they were a little scared.
Zou thought, it can’t be that serious, just because I went to my sister’s house, my parents called the head of the village and the clan leader?
This is what is being said.
Shen Chengzhou said: "Since the eldest and second families are here, I will make things clear."
"I've asked the village head and clan leader to come here today to serve as witnesses. Second brother, please sign the severance agreement. We two elders no longer need you to support us in our old age. From now on, you have nothing to do with us. Third brother, fourth brother, and Yueyao's side have nothing to do with you either."
"What?"
When Shen Shaolei and Zou heard this, they felt like a bolt from the blue.
They never dared to imagine that their parents could do this.
