"Dad, how can you say that to me? I'm your own son!"
When Shen Wanshan heard this, his expression not only did not ease, but became even more stern.
"Why, Xiaonian is not your biological son?"
"Because he is my biological son, I stopped him from marrying a village girl. Isn't this also for Xiaonian's own good?"
"When I stopped you from marrying that widow, wasn't it for your own good? Did you listen?" Shen Wanshan sneered, "When Xiaonian suffered with me, why didn't you think about doing good for him? Now that Xiaonian has grown up and has made a name for himself, do you remember your deep love for him?"
Shen Wanshan became more and more angry as he spoke, and even his chest rose and fell rapidly.
"You know, when you left Xiaonian to me, he sat at the door for seven whole days, hoping that you would come back to pick him up, but you..."
Seeing Shen Wanshan's sharp eyes and the words he said, Shen Zhengdong felt ashamed.
After all, no matter what, he is still a glorious university teacher, and he has to save face, okay?
But when he thought of the principal's daughter, Shen Zhengdong felt very unwilling.
"Dad, I..."
However, before Shen Zhengdong could finish his words, he was frightened to death by Shen Wanshan's shout of "Get out".
Looking at this son whose eyes were still full of calculations, Shen Wanshan was extremely disappointed.
It's also his fault that he was very busy all those years and neglected his son's upbringing, which led to him being so selfish now and even losing face.
Shen Zhengdong's face turned ashen after being scolded so mercilessly by his father.
"Since you don't welcome me, I can just leave. I just hope you don't regret it!" Shen Zhengdong gritted his teeth in anger. "You married such a shameless woman, so don't expect me to attend!"
"Get out...get out now, and never step through this door again."
"Just go, you think I want to come."
After saying that, Shen Zhengdong threw up his sleeves and stormed out the door. He didn't even glance at his father, whose face had turned pale with anger.
After watching his son leave, Shen Wanshan sighed deeply. He originally thought that he could use the New Year's Day wedding to ease the relationship between the father and son.
It seems that it is better for each of us to live our own lives.
Just when Shen Wanshan was disappointed, Shen Cinian’s voice rang in his ears.
"Grandpa, when I came back, I saw that man leaving in a huff. Did you have a fight? Are you okay?"
Hearing his grandson's caring words, Shen Wanshan's expression finally eased a lot.
“I’m fine.” Shen Wanshan sighed, “Xiao Nian, if he comes to you and says something in the future, don’t mind it. Grandpa will always stand by you, understand?”
Shen Qinian's face changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, what did he say to make you so angry?"
Shen Wanshan did not hide it for Shen Zhengdong and directly said his original words.
Hearing those words that disliked Tang Wanning, the veins on Shen Qinian's forehead bulged, and the corners of his mouth curved into a mocking arc.
"Oh, I didn't expect he still hadn't given up on having me marry his boss's daughter, even going so far as to slander Ningning like this." A hint of self-mockery escaped from Shen Qinian's throat, mixed with a bone-wrenching pain and sorrow. "So in his eyes, what am I? A tool to secure a good future for him?"
Seeing his grandson’s reaction, Shen Wanshan felt uncomfortable.
"Xiao Nian, you still have Grandpa and Xiao Tang. There's no need to be sad for a selfish person."
"I understand, Grandpa."
Shen Ci Nian sighed, sorted out his mood, and then looked at Shen Wanshan again.
"Grandpa, I brought back grandma's dowry. It's all in this box."
Looking at the golden nanmu box in front of him, Shen Wanshan sighed softly:
"When I saw this box, I remembered when your grandmother married me. Time is really unforgiving. In the blink of an eye, I am already gray-haired."
"Grandpa, you are not old at all. You are still strong and healthy. Living to be a hundred years old is not a problem for you."
"You, kid, you only know how to say nice things to coax me. Besides, how can I not understand my physical condition?" Shen Wanshan changed the subject and said, "This box contains half of your grandmother's dowry. The other half was given to your mother. Now it is probably spent by their family."
When Shen Cinian heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak.
"There are quite a few of these things left. When Ningning comes to the capital, you can give them to her along with the betrothal gifts I prepared for her."
"Okay, I understand, Grandpa."
"By the way, have you announced your marriage?"
"The people who should be notified have already been notified."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll take a break."
"If you have any problems, remember to call me."

School staff housing compound.
When Duan Shuang saw Shen Zhengdong coming back with a grim face, he knew that he and the old man must have had another unpleasant argument.
"Zhengdong, doesn't the old man agree to reject this marriage?"
"Well, not only did he refuse, he also lectured me." Shen Zhengdong gritted his teeth in anger. "I really don't know what kind of magic potion that country bumpkin fed these grandfather and grandson."
"Old man, what a fool! Wouldn't it be better to marry a university professor's daughter? She would have status and would be decent to take out."
After hearing Duan Shuang's words, Shen Zhengdong's anger dissipated a lot.
Humph, how can that country bumpkin be compared with Xiaoshuang.
Xiaoshuang has been married to him for so many years, and she not only takes good care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also takes care of the children's education.
Didn’t her father just dislike her status as a widow? But so what if she was a widow? Wasn’t he also a man whose wife had died?
Shen Wanshan: Stupid.
Shen Zhengdong's expression softened slightly after hearing this. He then gently patted Duan Shuang's hand and said:
"You really understand me. Unlike that old antique, he helped people count the money after being sold."
When Duan Shuang heard Shen Zhengdong's words, a look of worry appeared on his face.
"Now that the grandfather and grandson have decided on the country bumpkin, what should we do with Xiaoyun?"
"How about introducing Xiaoyun to Beizheng (Duan Shuanghe's ex-husband's son)?"
Duan Shuang: Do you think I don’t want to?
If her son could marry the principal's daughter, would she still worry about his future?
But that little bitch looked down on the Northern Expedition at all.
"I asked Xiaoyun before, and she said she only considered Beizheng her brother."
"Alas, I originally thought that I could facilitate this marriage, so that I could move forward, but now it seems that there is no hope."
"It's impossible. The key is that Beizheng is also at the age to get married, but his family doesn't even have any savings..."
"Have you used up all the things my mom left behind? And Bei Zheng, hasn't he been working for several years? Where's his salary?"
When Duan Shuang heard Shen Zhengdong's words, his heart skipped a beat.
