The next day.
After drinking half a pot of blood ginseng and black chicken soup again, Shen Huaqiang felt refreshed.
He immediately went to the military compound on crutches.
When he arrived, Shen Zhenhua and his family were still having lunch.
The Shen family members all came back one after another last night, except for the eldest brother who was still in Jiang City dealing with the matters at hand, and the third brother who stayed in the hospital on duty.
Seeing Shen Huaqiang coming, Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo looked at each other and quickly ate the blood ginseng in the bowl.
For fear of being discovered, they stewed two thousand-year-old blood ginsengs today.
"Brother, why are you here? Have you eaten?"
Shen Zhenhua had just finished eating, wiped his mouth, and went to welcome the guest in.
Shen Huaqiang glanced at Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo, his expression not looking very good.
He walked to the living room and sat down.
The old man held a cane with a solemn expression.
Before Shen Zhenhua could even open his mouth, he began to question, "Why didn't Jiaojiao discuss such a big thing as getting married with the family?"
Shen Zhenhua was puzzled, and sat down on the sofa opposite him, and said in a deep voice, "Jiaojiao is my granddaughter, she should discuss it with us, what does it have to do with the family?
Besides, your Qingqing didn't discuss her marriage with me?"
Shen Huaqiang stamped his cane and said angrily, "How can it be the same? Qingqing's boyfriend has a good family background and a respectable job, but Jiaojiao's boyfriend is a peasant..."
"That's enough."
Shen Zhenhua stopped him loudly.
"I don't want to hear such words of coquetry towards me and questioning towards my grandson-in-law. It is not the place for others to point fingers at my grandson-in-law, Shen Zhenhua.
If you are here to ask for punishment today, you'd better go back quickly! If you stay for another second, I will quarrel with you. "
Shen Zhenhua's personality is not the type that can fight Tai Chi with you. He is not afraid of offending people. He says what he thinks and will never put himself in a difficult position.
Shen Huaqiang looked at his brother with a sad face, "I am your elder brother, how dare you talk to me like that? I can only tell you so much for your own good.
Our Shen family has always been a prominent family. When have we ever produced peasants? Aren't you giving outsiders an opportunity to look down on our Shen family?
I totally disagree with this marriage."
Shen Zhenhua was so angry that he almost laughed.
This old thing.
"We, the Shen family, are just ordinary people. How come you say that we have a throne to inherit? What era is this? You still care so much about family background, Shen Huaqiang, you think too highly of yourself!
Jiaojiao is my granddaughter, I don't need your consent, just leave! When you are old, you are annoying, and if you are still annoying, you will be annoying."
Shen Huaqiang was so depressed that he couldn't speak.
It took him a long while to find his voice again. He said, "I am your eldest brother. I am responsible for all matters of the Shen family. I don't care about Jiaojiao and Xu Mo's affairs. However, I have a condition. I need the courtyard house in their hands.
You know, the house over there is almost too small to accommodate, and there are too many people at home..."
Shen Huaqiang muttered to himself.
He thought! When an elder of a family with high moral character and prestige asks a younger generation for something, it is already a condescension. There is no reason for the younger generation not to give something.
He made up his mind that as long as he opened his mouth, the courtyard house would be his.
What does it mean that Shen Zhenhua is a little confused?
What Siheyuan?
He looked towards Shen Jiaojiao in the restaurant.
Shen Jiaojiao swallowed the soup in her mouth, stood up and walked to the living room.
He smiled and said, "Grandpa, Xu Mo has decided to give this courtyard to my brother as a wedding gift, so it definitely cannot be given to you.
Just now, Grandpa was complaining about the peasants, and now you want the peasants' things. Aren't you slapping yourself in the face?
And what else! Isn't your grandson-in-law very good? You can let him send you off, but you have to make it clear to him this time, don't use other people's things to flatter yourself, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you are found out."
Except for the person involved yesterday, the rest of the Shen family were confused by what they heard.
Did something big happen?
It sounds like it will be exciting!
Shen Huaqiang didn't expect that he would be rejected directly.
He has already said that he no longer objects to their marriage, and the condition is to exchange it for the courtyard house. Why don’t you understand what he means?
These kids are really not as sensible as his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
Shen Huaqiang frowned and said unhappily, "Don't bring it up again after the fact. Don't you have two sets? You can give one to your brother, and then you can give me another set as a gift, right?"
Shen Jiaojiao was speechless about this old man.
This old man loves money like his life, or to put it in a more vulgar way, he is extremely greedy.
I don't know how much money I have saved in my lifetime.
It has to be a bit of money for his descendants to try their best to curry favor with him.
"Get out of here." Shen Zhenhua suddenly yelled.
He stood up suddenly and cursed, "So you came here today just to target my granddaughter. You even want my money. You are such a good grandfather!
But you have been given the title of grandfather. From childhood to adulthood, have you ever spent a penny on Jiaojiao? You didn't raise her or give birth to her, but you still want her to honor you. You are old and confused, and you are crazy about gains and losses!
Get out of here right now. If you keep coveting my granddaughter's things, I will destroy your house."
Shen Huaqiang also stood up and said angrily, "Shen Zhenhua, do you want to disown all your relatives?"
"Yes, having a relative like you, I don't just want to disown all my relatives! I feel ashamed. I, Shen Zhenhua, have lived an upright life and never took advantage of others for small favors.
We are born from the same parents, why are you so shameless?
It’s a tragedy for the family.”
Shen Huaqiang was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
"Okay, since you dare to talk to me like that, let's not have any contact with each other for the rest of our lives."
The old man was completely at odds with Shen Zhenhua, and he was confident that Shen Zhenhua would regret it.
After all, he has a son-in-law who is a peasant, and the Shen family will definitely be held back by this son-in-law.
By then, the Shen family's second branch will be completely destitute, with nothing left.
Shen Huaqiang looked confident, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
Shen Zhenhua was also very angry.
He just couldn't understand why his own elder brother would be such a person.
After feeling sad for a while, Shen Zhenhua withdrew his thoughts and looked at Shen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, what is this Siheyuan that your grandfather was talking about?"
Shen Jiaojiao had no intention of hiding it from them, so she told them everything about how Xu Mo bought the courtyard house and what happened yesterday.
Immediately, the family went to the courtyard.
"Hahaha, no wonder the old guy is obsessed with this house, it's a nice house!"
Shen Zhenhua laughed out loud, feeling very happy.
His grandson-in-law really had good taste. He bought two courtyard houses with such a small amount of money.
Although he knew that the money belonged to her granddaughter, it was rare for her to have such courage.
Most people don't dare to trade so boldly.
After touring the house, Shen Jiaojiao handed the key of one of the houses to Shen Tongwen.
"Second brother, consider this set as your wedding gift."
Shen Tongwen was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect that his sister would give him such a valuable courtyard house.
A set costs 6,000 yuan!
Ordinary people can’t earn that much in their lifetime!
Shen Tongwen felt warm in his heart and put the key back into Shen Jiaojiao's hand.
