Chapter 255: Take Mom Away (Updated, Please Vote)
Xu Xuemei had already obtained approval from her man and the old man, and asked Shen Jianmin to take her to the county town.
They went to talk to their brother and sister-in-law, but they didn't know that Shen Jianguo, not giving up, went to find Old Man Shen again.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that if he didn't come to see the old man today, he might never have a chance to turn things around.
"Dad, please help me. Look at what kind of life I'm living now. All the housework is on me alone. Xie Lanzhi has gone crazy because of Miaomiao's matter. She has been living in a daze. The old lady's health is getting worse day by day. I really can't hold on any longer."
Shen Jianguo went to his father and cried.
Mr. Shen didn't take it seriously. "I've told you countless times before. Why are you looking for me now? I'm too old to help you now."
In the past, the old woman always said that the second son would have a great future. He told her countless times not to do that as it would discourage the eldest son.
He also often told his second son that he must have a good relationship with his eldest brother, because they were the only two brothers and they should help each other in the future.
But how did the second wife treat the first wife at that time?
"Dad, how could you not help? My eldest brother is so filial, he will definitely listen to you. Look, they make so much money from business now that they can even afford a motorcycle. What's wrong with helping their younger brother?"
"What's wrong?" Mr. Shen rolled his eyes. "Based on what you did before, it's only natural that your eldest brother doesn't recognize you."
"Dad, why do you say that too? Isn't it because my mother instilled that kind of thinking in me since I was a child that I became like that?" Shen Jianguo shouted in grievance.
At this moment, Mr. Shen was completely disappointed with his son. He thought that after being well-behaved for a period of time, the son would have reflected on himself, but he did not expect that he still had no awareness of his mistakes.
"Your mother was wrong, but you are not wrong?"
"There are many children who were spoiled when they grew up, but why did you become like this? Let's not talk about the other things. Taozi is also the treasure of your big brother and his friends. Do you think Taozi is like you?"
"That's different."
"What's the difference?"
The father and son started arguing right away.
But now Mr. Shen is very good at controlling his emotions, especially after knowing that his granddaughter wants to take him to live with her, he has to take care of his health. Otherwise, even if he has the intention, he doesn't have the energy to do it.
"I don't want to waste time talking to you. Just leave now. I'll pretend you were never here."
Mr. Shen waved his hand and asked Shen Jianguo to leave.
Shen Jianguo refused.
"Dad, you must have some money, right?" There was a hint of greed in his eyes.
"No, I live with your eldest brother and his wife. Where would I get the money?"
"How could you not have money? They will definitely honor you." How could Shen Jianguo believe the old man's words?
"What? Are you also thinking about the money your elder brother, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew-in-law gave me as a gift?"
Old Master Shen really wished that he had never had this son. If he hadn't seen him coming out of his own wife's belly, he really didn't want to admit that this was his biological son. Who knows, maybe someone had switched their son?
But this is indeed his own flesh and blood.
Old Master Shen didn’t understand why there was such a big gap between brothers?
"roll!"
Old Master Shen pointed in the direction of the courtyard gate and asked Shen Jianguo to leave.
Shen Jianguo knelt on the ground and said, "Dad, please save your son. I really can't live like this anymore. Otherwise, let me live with you. I can't afford so much by myself."
"You've seen that Chuntao hasn't found a wife yet, because he was implicated by Miaomiao's matter. The burden at home is so heavy that we can't save any money. Otherwise, I'll send my mother to you. That way, I can save some money for Chuntao to find a wife earlier, and I can have a grandson sooner, right? Chunwang also needs to go to school."
All in all, Shen Jianguo just wanted to get rid of Wang Lanxiu, this burden.
He didn't think it was a big deal when Wang Lanxiu was able to work before, but now Wang Lanxiu's health is getting worse day by day, and he can no longer bear the burden.
Moreover, Wang Lanxiu has to take medicine from time to time, which makes the already poor family even worse.
"Oh! When I had a stroke, I asked your second wife to pay for the medical expenses, but you didn't pay a penny. And after I came back, your eldest brother said that we should support the elderly separately. You also signed a document at that time. Why do you want to regret it now? Just because your mother can't work? And I have been eating free meals at your eldest brother's house all this time. Why don't your eldest brother and sister-in-law despise me?"
"Oh, when your mother was able to work, you eagerly brought her home, saying that your eldest brother and sister-in-law would not take care of her in the future. Now that your mother has become a burden, you can't wait to get rid of her, Shen Jianguo! That's not how people act."
Having been the team leader for most of his life, Mr. Shen is very eloquent and his scolding is very unpleasant even without using any swear words.
Shen Jianguo also knew that what the old man said was true, but what could he do?
My mother is useless, my father doesn't intend to take care of him, and my elder brother and sister-in-law have no intention of helping him. His life is already so difficult, does he still have to consider others?
"That's totally different. My brother and his wife can both make money now. And you can tell they must have made a lot of money just by looking at the motorcycles they bought. Is that something that ordinary people can afford? They can both make so much money, so what's wrong with supporting one more elderly person?"
"So you have taken all the good things, right? You don't care about me or your mother. I don't know what's the point of giving birth to you. You might as well give birth to a piece of barbecued pork."
These words really irritated Shen Jianguo, who stared at Mr. Shen with red eyes.
Mr. Shen was a little nervous, always feeling that there was something wrong with his son.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to hit me?"
Shen Jianguo was still deflated, he knew he couldn't act impulsively.
If he really hurt the old man, his eldest brother and sister-in-law would definitely not forgive him when they came back, and he would have no chance of staying in this team.
He is just an ordinary farmer now. If he loses even the most basic land, how can he make a living in this life? I guess he will die sooner or later.
After taking a deep breath, Shen Jianguo looked at the old man's cold face and said, "Dad, do you mean you really don't plan to take care of Mom anymore?"
"No matter! I couldn't persuade you two to stop doing so many things before, and now I'm old and I can't do anything about it." Mr. Shen waved his hands. He and Wang Lanxiu didn't have much affection left, but after all, she was his partner for most of his life, and he felt sad to see her having a hard time now.
However, Mr. Shen also secretly gave Wang Lanxiu some money, but seeing Shen Jianguo's reaction, the old woman probably didn't give the money to her second son, which made him feel a little better.
