Chapter 24: A Family Inexplicably Caught in the Crossfire



"But I like Fubao!" Shen Zhile pouted. He was only five years old and didn't understand why his brother couldn't marry his sister.

"I like Fubao, too!" The third brother, Shen Zhiyi, snorted at him, "Besides, I'm your brother, and Fubao should be my wife!"

"What about me? I'm still the second oldest brother, so it's not your turn to marry Fubao!" Shen Zhili was not to be outdone and glared at his two younger brothers angrily.

Shen Zhishu also glared at him and clenched his fists and said, "I am the eldest brother, Fubao should marry me! You have nothing to do with it, you are all younger brothers!"

"Humph! You're the eldest brother, so what? You were born two or three years earlier than us, right? You're trying to snatch our baby away. As the eldest brother, you should give in to us younger ones!"

Seeing that the four boys were about to quarrel again, Mrs. Shen's ears hurt again, and she reached out and slapped Shen Zhile on the back of the head, "You little stinky boys, what are you yelling in Fubao's ear? It's so noisy, get out of here!"

The four boys glared at each other, disliking each other, and wanted to continue arguing over who Fubao would marry in the future, or even fight. But after Old Lady Shen spoke, they could only look at Fubao reluctantly and walked away obediently.

Old Mrs. Shen picked up Fubao from the cradle and changed her clothes while asking Shen Jianlin, "Jianlin, I asked you to contact the second child and ask him to come back for Fubao's full moon celebration. What did he say?"

When Shen Jianlin mentioned the second son, Shen Jiangang, he immediately became angry. "Don't talk about him! I get angry just talking about this! I called him to come back before, but he said he was very busy and didn't have the time. He also said..."

"What else to say?" Old Mrs. Shen frowned.

"What's more, she's just a worthless girl, is it worth spending money to hold a full moon banquet for her? He said that with that money, it would be better to send it to his three sons." Shen Jianlin's face turned black when he said this.

"What? That unfilial son!" Old Madam Shen was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She roared, "He actually said that Fubao is worthless. Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he say that my granddaughter is worthless! He looks down on girls so much, but wasn't he born by a woman?! Okay, since he said that, then just ignore him! Jianlin, you are my only son now. Just treat that unfilial guy as if he is dead!"

"Mom, don't worry, I will respect you well." Shen Jianlin did not try to smooth things over. He also felt that Shen Jiangang was too hateful.

His family worked hard and used up all their savings to support him through high school. After graduation, he went to the county town to do small business. After making some money, he began to forget his roots. He has never sent money home in all these years and even dared to say such things about his precious daughter!

What's the point of having so many sons? If he has the ability, he could just have a daughter. What a fool!

Fubao blinked his clear big eyes and shouted "Ahhh" twice, trying to tell them not to be angry.

When Mrs. Shen heard her voice, all her anger disappeared immediately. She bent down and kissed her on the face, "Fubao, my little darling, you are all I need! Other people are not important, I don't care about them!"

A family that was caught in the crossfire for no reason, "..."

This old lady is biased, too biased!

In town, Huo family.

Nowadays, most of the surrounding villages are made of mud houses, just like the Shen family. The walls of the house are made of mud bricks, without even any mortar. The straw stalks stuffed in the gaps can be clearly seen. It is freezing cold in winter, and there are many mosquitoes in summer.
