Chapter 258: Shen Jianmin's Memories
A tear rolled down the corner of Shen Jianmin's eye, and he didn't even know what mood he should be in.
It feels like a relief, but why am I so sad?
He knew that he had never received love from his mother since he was a child because all his mother's love was given to Shen Jianguo.
The old lady's heart was very small, so small that it could only hold Shen Jianguo.
Since he was a child, he had always heard the old lady saying that Shen Jianguo would have a great future when he grew up, and that he, as the eldest brother, would have to rely on his younger brother Shen Jianguo to make a living, so he must be nicer to his younger brother.
At first he listened and kept all the good things for his younger brother.
But gradually he found that he was always avoiding things endlessly and always suffering injustice.
Later, after he got married, he felt that his life was becoming more and more promising.
His wife is a powerful person, and although she is also filial, she has always known how to resist.
My daughter-in-law's family members are all very nice, and my mother-in-law treats me like her own son. Every time the family harvests grain, they will send me some new grain. Even though they know that they are also farmers and everyone harvests grain at the same time and the family will not be short of food, they will still send it.
Firstly, she was worried that her daughter would be wronged in her husband's family, and secondly, she was really trying to help the young couple get through the difficult times.
Before the incident of his daughter falling into the water, Shen Jianmin had actually never thought about dividing the family.
After all, people in this era still take matters like dividing the family very seriously. It is said that as long as the parents are still alive, the old man and the old lady will be fine. If they divide the family, outsiders will say something unpleasant.
But they finally broke up because he had to protect his children.
The old lady had been partial to her child since he was young, and he didn't want his child to suffer any injustice, so he had to take his child away from that home.
He felt that the one he owed the most was his daughter, because although the old lady didn't like him as a son, she was still good to her grandson. Shen Jidong would often get some good things from the old lady. Although it was definitely not as good as those given to the second wife's children, at least he got a little love from the old lady.
There are so many children in the family, but my daughter is the only one who receives no love from her grandmother.
There were only two girls in the family. Chen Chunmiao, as the twins born to the second wife, was loved by the old lady because she believed that twins were a good omen.
Otherwise, how can people say that his son is very capable? They are better than others when it comes to having children. Who can give birth to two babies at once, or even twins, a boy and a girl? It's really rare in this era.
His Taozi had always been the most marginalized one. Later, when the second family bullied her own daughter, she could no longer tolerate it. Besides, with the support of his wife's family, they divided the price.
I thought that since we broke up, it was over and the matter was over. We could just live our own lives from now on.
But who knew that they would jump out and bully their daughter, and at times like this the old lady always stood on the side of the second wife and never thought about the injustice suffered by Dafang.
Now the old lady was gone, and he didn't even see her for the last time. Shen Jianmin didn't know whether he should cry or have any other reaction. He just stood there in a daze, almost exactly like the old man.
Xu Xuemei was the calmest among the group because she really had no feelings for her mother-in-law, Wang Lanxiu.
Ever since she married into the Shen family, Wang Lanxiu has been finding fault with her in every way.
She and Xie Lanzhi gave birth to their children in the same year. Xie Lanzhi gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, while she only gave birth to a daughter. Because of this, Wang Lanxiu not only scolded her at home, but also scolded her outside.
Her life was really hard, and after a series of events that happened later, she would never repay evil with kindness and had any feelings for her mother-in-law.
But since the person is already dead, we still have to do what needs to be done.
Although it was agreed at the beginning that the two elderly people would be supported separately, and from then on their birth, aging, illness and death had nothing to do with the other house, but if the man, after all, was his own son, and did not contribute at all to such matters, then people would really criticize him.
"You guys go take a look first. I still have to go inform Taozi and the others to see if they want to come back."
After a long period of no response, Mr. Shen finally came back to life. He waved his hand and said, "Don't tell Taozi and the others. It's useless even if you tell them."
"It will only make the children go on a wasted trip, forget it..."
In fact, the old man knew very well that even if the old woman went to the underworld, she probably wouldn't expect her biological daughter, Shen Jintao, to come back to see her for the last time.
"No matter what, Taozi and Dongzi should be informed of this matter. As grandchildren, they must have the right to know about the news of their grandmother's death."
"Hey... isn't this a waste of the children's time?"
"Dad, don't think too much. We will take you out to play after we finish dealing with our affairs. We will take you out to relax. Although I know you must be upset and my consolation is unnecessary, as your daughter-in-law, I still hope that you will be in good health. Although we are not afraid that you will become a burden to us, we will be very worried if you are not in good health."
After Xu Xuemei finished speaking, she looked at her husband and said, "You better cheer up. You've seen a lot of storms before. You should cheer up and go take a look. You know Shen Jianguo. If you let him handle the old lady's funeral, who knows what will happen. Although the old lady may not love you very much, she's dead. As her son and daughter-in-law, we should handle her funeral properly."
Seeing his daughter-in-law arranging things in an orderly manner, Mr. Shen felt indescribable feelings in his heart.
The calmer she is, the less affection she has for her mother-in-law, but it is also reasonable.
At this time, the daughter-in-law whom the old woman disliked the most started to arrange her funeral affairs, and wanted to make them dignified. Most people would not have such a broad mind.
The old man thought that when he was in the underworld, he would definitely have a good talk with the old woman. This daughter-in-law was the one who truly respected him as her mother-in-law.
The old man didn't think this was presumptuous at all. He thought the old woman should have regretted her whole life. It was a pity that she passed away so early.
"Come on, Boss, let's go over there and see your mother. I want to take one last look at her before she is buried. After all, we have been married for so many years..."
The old man's back, which had been straight in the past two years, seemed to bend a lot at this moment. Xu Xuemei urged her man to catch up quickly, and then rode a motorcycle to the town to make a phone call.
