Chapter 128 Feng's Death
The Shen brothers had just breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Xing'er's shout made them nervous again.
"Second brother, it looks like Xing'er. Could something have happened to fourth brother's wife?" Shen Lao San's face turned pale as he looked at the west wing.
Shen Lao Er cursed: "What a damn bad luck, it's New Year's Day, and there are so many things going on, what are they doing?"
"Old Five, quickly ask your wife to go and see what's going on in Feng's room?"
Shen Lao Er had a gloomy face and yelled at Shen Lao Wu.
After bandaging Old Lady Shen's wound, Gan went off to eat meat, only to find that the meat on the table had already been snatched away by the children.
Gan scolded the children one by one and also mocked Li.
At this time, Gan was very angry and ignored Shen Laoer's roar. She went to bring food to her mother-in-law with good intentions, but was pulled back by the old woman and ended up falling off the kang. Not only did she delay her meal, but as they were both daughters-in-law, why could Li sit down and eat and drink as much as she wanted?
Li only injured one foot, not the bones, just a superficial injury. So she wants to be a master at home? That's wishful thinking.
Gan ignored Shen Laoer's shouting and went back to her room with a disapproving look, slamming the door shut. Since she was not having a good time, no one would have a good time either.
Shen Lao Er also heard the noise made by Gan, and looked at Shen Lao Wu with an even darker expression.
"What do you mean by your wife? Do you still have respect for others? Are you just turning your back on me like that? You can't even manage a woman?"
Shen Laowu lowered his head. No matter what Shen Laoer said, he did not refute, but he did not move either, which was equivalent to a silent protest.
Shen Lao Er sneered angrily, "Okay, okay, okay, you guys have grown powerful, right? Fine, then we will divide the family today. We have already divided the money and other things clearly. Let the village chief come to divide the things at home tomorrow. But it was you two who injured my mother. Until my injury is healed, you two will take care of everything."
Originally Shen Laowu was quite happy about the division of the family property, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he turned pale with fright and suddenly looked up at Shen Laoer.
"Second brother, what you said is a bit unreasonable. Mom's fall was just an accident. How can you blame us?" Shen Laowu quickly argued.
Shen Lao Er didn't want to argue with Shen Lao Wu about this, so he just said, "Do you dare to say that mother's fall has nothing to do with you two? I swear on your descendants."
Shen Laowu wanted to refute subconsciously, but he didn't expect his second brother to be so cruel. He asked him to swear on his descendants. Doesn't this mean that he would have no descendants? Shen Laowu didn't dare to quibble.
"Brother, I'll go and see, okay? Don't be angry, we are brothers, let's talk it out. I'll teach my wife a lesson later and ask her to apologize to you, brother."
Shen Lao Er didn't respond and walked out directly past Shen Lao Wu.
Shen Laowu patted his chest and hurried to see Feng.
As soon as I walked into Feng's room, I smelled a foul odor. It was probably because Feng had defecated and urinated on the kang and no one took care of her.
Shen Laowu pinched his nose and stood at the door and shouted, "Xing'er, I'm your uncle. What happened to your mother? Why are you crying on New Year's Day?"
When Shen Xing'er heard her fifth uncle's voice, she looked outside the house with timid eyes. Outside, snow was falling all over the sky, which was much brighter than inside the house.
Shen Xing'er whimpered, "Uncle Wu, my mother is so cold and she's not moving. I want to call her to get up and eat some meat, but she won't move or open her eyes."
Shen Laowu's face suddenly changed. Could it be that Feng was dead?
He did not care about the bad smell in the room and strode into the room. When he came to the kang, he saw that Feng's face was pale and her lips were bloodless.
He used his hand to feel Feng's breath and found no breath at all. Shen Laowu took a few steps back in fright.
"Dead? Why would it be today?" Shen Laowu turned around and ran out of the house.
When I crossed the threshold, I almost fell flat on my face.
"Second brother, third brother, something bad has happened."
Shen Laowu crawled back to the upper room.
Shen Lao Er now heard these words with large beginnings, and he shouted impatiently: "What are you yelling about? Can't you just say it nicely?"
"Second brother, Feng is dead."
Shen Lao Er and Shen Lao San's faces changed when they heard this. Feng was still young, and now she died on New Year's Eve, which made several people feel cold in their hearts. Even Li, who was sitting next to them, turned pale.
All their attention was focused on Old Lady Shen, and they really ignored Mrs. Feng.
At this time, Shen Lao Er began to blame Feng.
"This woman never picked a good time to do this, and she had to do it on New Year's Eve. What bad luck! What bad luck!"
"Second brother, it's useless to say this now, what should we do?"
Shen Laowu was completely in the dark and had no idea of his own.
Shen Lao San didn't say anything either, and the two brothers looked at Shen Lao Er.
Shen Lao Er was sober too. He was pacing in the main room with his hands behind his back, looking very unhappy.
"What else can we do? Feng Shi died because mother was reluctant to spend money on her medical treatment. Even if she turns into a ghost and comes to seek revenge, it is mother's business and has nothing to do with us. Look at how you look like bears? You are so scared that you are about to pee your pants."
As soon as Shen Lao Er finished speaking, the closed door of the main room was instantly pushed open by a cold wind mixed with snow foam, and the door panel hit the wall with a loud clanging sound.
The people in the room were frightened and screamed at the same time.
After the snowstorm passed, Shen Lao Er mustered up the courage to walk over and close the door, but he clearly heard the crying of Feng's child coming from the west wing.
"Third brother, fifth brother, you two go and bring Feng's children over. The fourth branch of the family depends on these two children to carry on the family line. If we take care of Feng's children and raise them, we will be doing our duty to the fourth brother."
But Shen Laosan and Shen Laowu did not move. They were already frightened at this time, and both of them shook their heads like rattles.
"Second brother, why don't you go? The family is counting on you now. Go and say a few words to Feng's body and tell her to leave in peace. We will bury her at dawn."
Shen Laosan was trembling as he spoke.
In the end, it was Shen Lao Er who took the two of them to the west wing.
Feng's two children, a daughter and a son, were now lying on her body and crying.
Shen Lao Er muttered a few words to Feng's body on the edge of the kang, then pulled the quilt up to cover Feng's face, and then carried the two children out of the west wing.
It was snowing hard outside, and the snowflakes hit people in the face as soon as they went out.
Several people hurried into the main room, and Shen Lao Er handed the two children to the care of Li and Gan. For the Shen family, this night was destined not to be a peaceful and harmonious night.
But the Wan family had already finished their New Year’s Eve dinner and started to stay up all night.
