Chapter 175 Is my uncle's family leaving?
The eldest uncle led his men into the house. When he saw Shen's father, he complained, "Third brother, Nini needs to be disciplined. She doesn't greet people properly and speaks rudely. She won't be able to find a husband in the future. If you don't discipline her, you'll suffer later."
The eldest uncle acted as if he was doing everything for the best for the eldest son, behaving like the most senior brother.
Father Shen sneered, "Look at you meddling in other people's business. I know what's going on with my child. You'd better mind your own business. You should focus on managing your own little plot of land instead of trying to do something as trivial as a dog trying to catch a mouse. You've already exposed all the mess in your own family before you've even worn out your clothes."
Seeing that the two were getting increasingly angry, Grandma Chen spoke up, "What are you doing here? I don't need you to bring me New Year's gifts. We've severed ties. If you're here to show your filial piety, then you can leave."
The uncle said angrily, "No matter what, I'm still your own son. I don't accept the previous severing of ties. I didn't dare to argue back then, thinking that you and Dad could decide whatever you wanted. It was my own fault for being so useless. But things are different now. Shen Qing has established himself in Yangcheng and sent word home that he's thinking of bringing us all over to develop our careers there. Yan Hong and Meng Fan have also agreed to come. We came here to discuss this with you two, but who knew you would have this kind of attitude? Don't expect us to help you in the future."
Grandpa Shen said directly, "I will never look for you again. After your mother and I are gone, you won't need to break the pot."
The uncle was speechless after being rebuked.
Grandma Shen pondered for a moment and then asked, "So these two children aren't taking the college entrance exam?"
The uncle said with a hint of disdain, "Yan Hong said that while college graduates are highly qualified these days, they can't compare to those who do business. These days, businessmen can make money no matter what they do. Meng Fan thinks the same way and plans to come with us to Guangzhou to develop his career."
"I was thinking about the news that the village was going to distribute land to individual households. I was thinking of asking if you wanted my family's land. As a son, I'm thinking about my family. If you want it, I'll give you priority; if not, I'll lease it to the village."
Grandpa Shen, puffing on his cigarette and squinting, said expressionlessly, "The issue of distributing land to individual households is just talk; it hasn't been finalized yet, and you're already thinking about it? And another thing, are you planning to leave and never come back? Aren't you leaving yourself a way out? Have you thought it all through?"
Grandpa Shen's series of questions left Uncle speechless.
Auntie chimed in, "Dad, my son wouldn't lie to us. Besides, what future can we have in this village? We might as well go out and try. Qing said that as long as we go, we can start making money right away. He's already arranged everything. Once our family is established, if anyone in our family gets into trouble or suffers misfortune, we'll definitely lend a hand and not stand by and watch."
Shen Yanhong glanced at Jinran with barely concealed pride, then said, "Anyway, our whole family is leaving soon, and Shen Jinran, we probably won't have any contact with each other anymore. Let's just forget about the misunderstanding from before! What do you think?"
Jinran chuckled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Shen Yanhong felt somewhat displeased by Jinran's attitude. If it weren't for the fact that Jinran's future partner was someone capable, she wouldn't have bothered with her at all.
Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen did not express any opinion. Grandpa Shen simply said, "You can decide for yourselves. You don't need to tell us when you leave."
The uncle never expected that a conversation aimed at winning back his parents would end so abruptly.
Finally, the eldest uncle made a harsh statement: "Just you wait, I will definitely become a son you can be proud of. Those idiots like the second and third sons are no match for me. You will still have to rely on me in the future."
The second uncle, who had just entered the door, was cursing at someone.
"This is going to be a fight," said the father.
After my eldest uncle's family left, the atmosphere at home became somewhat tense. My second uncle cautiously asked, "Mom, I was thinking of asking if you need anything? I'm free right now, so I'll go out to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some."
Grandma Chen shook her head and said that she had everything she needed at home.
Jinran said something and was about to go back to her room to rest.
No one paid any attention, but Wang Cuifen asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell, child? Did the food you ate on your way back freeze?"
Jinran shook her head and said no, she was just a little sleepy.
Finally, Wang Cuifen confirmed that Jinran was really alright before she stopped. She just said to Jinran, "Your father and I are going back to the county first thing tomorrow morning. These next few days, help your grandmother tidy up the house. Don't just lie around when you come back. Help with some chores. The old lady is getting old and doesn't like to move around. Your father and I can't leave either. If you find it tiring, just ask your brother. They have plenty of strength."
Shen Cong, Shen Ming: ".............." Is this some kind of favoritism?
Jinran nodded throughout, saying that she was sure she could do it.
