Shen Yunfei's expression turned very ugly.
He felt very embarrassed to be questioned like that by his son-in-law.
He certainly wouldn't say anything if his son could get money from his daughter.
Now, not only have they not received the money, but they've also lost face. How can Shen Yunfei not be angry?
"Shen Wencai!" Shen Yunfei stood up angrily, pulled out a thin bamboo pole from the side and hit Shen Wencai.
"What are you saying, you brat? You want your brother-in-law to divide the family property and for your brother-in-law's parents to give him the money in advance!"
"Are you hoping I die soon so you can get your share of the family fortune?"
"You little brat! I'll beat you to death!"
Shen Yunfei was very angry, and he wasn't just putting on an act for Zhou Cunzong's benefit; when he struck, he really used his full strength.
Shen Wencai wasn't one to sit idly by and take a beating; he darted out the moment Shen Yunfei made his move.
Shen Wenguang watched his younger brother being beaten but did not stop his father's actions. He frowned and watched for a while before turning to look at Zhou Cunzong.
"I'm sorry, Cunzong, I didn't expect Wencai to say such nasty things. Just ignore it and don't take it to heart."
He knew that his younger brother was very spoiled, and that sometimes his parents' excessive pampering of him had harmed Shen Wenguang's interests.
He doesn't care how much his parents dote on his younger brother when it doesn't involve his own interests.
However, if his younger brother tries to harm his interests, Shen Wenguang will no longer tolerate it.
For example, if this incident happened to the Shen family, would they have to give most of the Shen family's wealth to Shen Wencai?
Why should his youngest son receive more money than he, the eldest son?
He is the eldest son, and his parents are the ones who rely on him to support them in their old age. Therefore, he should receive the largest share of the inheritance.
"Shen Yunfei, stop right now! You're not allowed to hit my son!"
He Caiping does not allow anyone to hit her son, not even Shen Yunfei.
"You dare to stop me?" Shen Yunfei was even more furious when he saw He Caiping come out to block him.
"It's all because of you, it's all because you spoiled him so much that he's become so unruly."
"You still have the nerve to stop me? Do you believe I'll beat you up too?" Shen Yunfei threatened He Caiping with a dark face.
"Fine, if you're going to hit my son, then hit me too! It's not like you haven't hit him before!"
"He Caiping! How dare you speak to me like that! Shen Wencai is like this because of you! You've corrupted him!"
"My son is perfect in every way, you're not allowed to say that about him!"
The couple started arguing, and Shen Yunfei got angrier as he argued, the thin bamboo stick in his hand about to hit He Caiping.
Shen Wenguang did not move, as if the person about to be beaten was not his own mother.
However, Zhou Cunzong couldn't just stand by and watch his mother-in-law be beaten, so he quickly stood up and stopped Shen Yunfei.
He grabbed Shen Yunfei's arm and tried to persuade him, "Dad, calm down. You don't want the neighbors to laugh at our family, do you?"
He knew how much his father-in-law cared about his reputation. If the neighbors found out what had happened to the Shen family, the ridicule and gossip from those around them would only make him feel worse.
Shen Yunfei was indeed persuaded.
The soundproofing in the residential compound is practically nonexistent; the noise from their argument must have been heard by the neighbors.
Fortunately, the son-in-law spoke softly about what his son had done, so the neighbors couldn't hear him clearly.
But then Shen Yunfei remembered that just because their neighbors couldn't hear it now didn't mean they wouldn't find out what happened from the Zhou family's neighbors on Guangming Road later.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault for not teaching your child properly! Look at your son, how could he say such a thing?"
Shen Yunfei was persuaded by his son-in-law to stop fighting, but he still couldn't help but criticize He Caiping.
He Caiping retorted, "Is my son only my son? You didn't do anything about teaching him, and now you're blaming me?"
"And my son is perfectly fine!"
He Caiping looked at Zhou Cunzong and asked, "What are you up to? Did you come to my house to sow discord between our families?"
"Are you jealous that my family is doing well? Do you believe I'll make Wenxiu divorce you?!"
Zhou Cunzong's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"Mom, are you serious?"
“Perfect timing, this is what my mom told you before, please consider it.”
“I’ll send Wenxiu and the two children back when I get back, and I’ll go with Wenxiu to get a divorce tomorrow.”
“I’m leaving my two daughters to you to raise. If you mistreat them, I believe my mother would be happy to come and have a talk with you.”
Although Zhou Cunzong did not want to divorce his wife, he could still intimidate his parents-in-law by relying on his mother's influence.
"Pah! You're getting a divorce, and you still expect us to support your daughter?"
Before He Caiping could even explode, Shen's eldest sister-in-law couldn't hold back any longer.
She was worried about not being able to afford to raise her children, and she also had a favored younger brother-in-law in the family, so the eldest branch of the family received very little.
Now I have to support my sister-in-law's two daughters too, why should I?
"Mom, if you dare to agree to let Wenxiu bring her daughter back, and if you dare to agree to let the Shen family raise the Zhou family's granddaughter, I dare to divorce Wenguang!"
“I definitely won’t take my child back to my parents’ home after my divorce. I’m still young, and I can remarry after the divorce. It’s not easy to remarry if I have a child.”
The more Sister-in-law Shen talked, the more she felt that her idea was feasible.
If the Shen family dares to agree to let Shen Wenxiu divorce her husband and take her two daughters back to her parents' home to be supported, she will dare to get a divorce.
