Chapter 104: The Old Man’s Retirement Issue
Wang Lanxiu didn't expect Shen Jianmin to block her like this, but if she insisted that she raised Shen Jianmin, it would not make sense. People who are a little older know that Shen Jianmin was raised by his grandparents, that is, Wang Lanxiu's parents-in-law.
"Even if...even if I didn't raise you, I still gave birth to you. Giving birth is the greatest grace. Now I just want you to repay my grace of giving birth to me. Is there any problem?"
"So does that mean that as long as I pay these two hundred yuan, our relationship will be over? If that's the case, I'll pay for it even if I have to sell everything I have. After all, you have to get a lot of money from me to subsidize Shen Jianguo throughout the year. As long as you agree to buy out this relationship, we can end it all at once."
Shen Jianmin's answer surprised everyone, including those who came to watch the fun.
"Oh, Captain, now I really understand. If I had a mother like this, I would have split up and ended the family long ago."
"Isn't it? And with Shen Jianguo's family being like that, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in the future. If we really cut off the relationship, there won't be so many troubles."
"I don't know what this old lady is thinking. The eldest son's family is so filial, but she still favors the second son. Now it seems that the captain is really disappointed. It will be difficult for the old lady to expect her son and daughter-in-law to be filial in the future."
"You may not know this, but I heard from Wang Lanxiu that her second son will definitely be successful in the future, and she will have to rely on her second son and his wife for her retirement. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, why don't I see that Shen Jianguo will be successful? He's already in his forties, if he wanted to be successful, he would have been successful a long time ago."
"Bah! You still have a future? How can you be a successful person?"
"That's right. There's no one to support the family. Even the little ones like them, Shen Chuntao doesn't look like someone who can make it big, not to mention Shen Chunmiao. If I had a daughter like that, I would have thrown her away eight hundred years ago. And Shen Chunwang, he's only that young, but he's been spoiled into what has happened? He even beat my grandson last time!"
The discussions of people around her reached Wang Lanxiu's ears, making her feel very complicated for a moment.
On the one hand, she was a little worried that Shen Jianmin would really become estranged from her in the future, and on the other hand, she was angry that those people looked down on the second brother's family.
"Jianmin, I have never asked you for anything in my life. Do you really want to hurt my heart just because of this?"
Wang Lanxiu wiped away her tears, trying to soften Shen Jianmin's heart.
But Shen Jianmin's words tore her face off. "You really didn't ask me for anything. After all, you used to be bossy like you did just now. How could you ask me for anything? In your opinion, you should ask me for anything, right? But you just gave birth to me. You didn't even ask me if I was willing to be born? Is the meaning of my birth just for Shen Jianguo?"
"Two hundred yuan, you asked me to take it right away. I just want to ask, how many people can take out two hundred yuan without blinking an eye? Do you think our money is blown by the wind? If I give this money, how can my Ji Dong go to school? Is he no longer your grandson?"
Wang Lanxiu opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
"Well... doesn't your Taozi make money? She's been in the newspaper. I heard that being in the newspaper can earn you a lot of money. If she writes more articles in the newspaper, she can get the money, right? How is it possible that your family can't come up with 200 yuan?"
"You can plot against me if you want to get what I have, but no one can get your hands on my Taozi." Shen Jianmin's eyes became colder and colder.
In the end, Wang Lanxiu did not dare to ask Shen Jianmin to pay two hundred yuan and sever all ties with him. She still had some brains. If she really did that, her husband might drive her away when he came back.
At the hospital, Xu Xuemei was also saddened after visiting Chen Chunmiao's condition. However, Shen Chunmiao was currently accompanied by only Shen Chuntao. When she arrived there, Shen Chuntao wanted to borrow money from her for medical expenses, but of course she did not agree.
"The child of Shen Chunmiao was not saved."
Chen Jintao was not surprised at all. "After losing so much blood, it would be strange if the child could be saved. Although Chen Chunmiao is really disgusting, the child is innocent after all. It is pitiful that the child was born in her belly. I just hope that he will go to a good family in the next life."
"Hush! Don't say that."
Xu Xuemei quickly reminded them that if this was heard by someone with ulterior motives, they would be accused of promoting feudal superstition.
Shen Jintao spoke very quietly so that no one else would hear, but since her mother had said so, she stopped saying such things.
Mr. Shen has fallen asleep again. The doctor said that he will not be able to withstand any stimulation in the future.
The situation this time is very serious. Mr. Shen has shown some signs of a stroke. Fortunately, he has improved after taking medicine for a day, but his body is definitely not the same as before. If it is like today again, I am afraid there will be big problems.
Xu Xuemei still had no opinion about her father-in-law, but this matter was really difficult to handle. She could only wait until the old man was discharged from the hospital to discuss what to do. However, she already had some ideas in her mind.
The next day, the old man insisted on being discharged from the hospital. Shen Jintao and Xu Xuemei had no choice. Shen Jianmin and Shen Jidong happened to be there, so they took old man Shen out of the hospital first.
As for Shen Chuntao, he had been in the hospital the whole time and had never come to see Old Man Shen.
It seems that he is a heartless person!
On the way back, Xu Xuemei quietly told her husband about the old man's situation, "Jianmin, this is what I think. Anyway, there are only two brothers in your family. Under the current situation, if the old man continues to live with the second wife, there might be bigger problems. Why don't we bring Dad to our home and let him live with us, and let the second wife take care of Mom, one person each."
Shen Jianmin thought for a moment and asked, "Will Shen Jianguo and the others agree?"
Xu Xuemei sneered, "What do you think? Our father's health seems to be worse than mother's. They will definitely want mother to live with them. After all, mother can still help them with work."
She said this in a low voice, so that Mr. Shen wouldn't hear, for fear that he would feel burdened.
After the discussion, they took Mr. Shen directly back to their home.
Now Mr. Shen can sit up and communicate normally.
Xu Xuemei and Shen Jianmin had already told Mr. Shen about this matter.
Old Master Shen sighed, "Wouldn't my current condition be a burden to you? I'll just let your mother take care of me."
"Grandpa, my grandma only cares about my second uncle. Do you think she can take good care of you?"
