He passed by Director Shen without even looking at him.
Shen Heping: "..."
He felt inexplicably sad. His son blamed him, his daughter-in-law was unhappy, and even Xiao Wangcai disliked him.
He took it for granted and ignored the Shen family's arrogant and self-righteous nature. He really shouldn't have brought them home together. It would have been fine if he had just sent them to the guesthouse.
What his son said was right, he was indeed a servile person, and he had forgotten the pain now that the wound had healed. Back then, Shen Jintang was so heartless and unrighteous, and had no affection for his son at all. After signing the severance letter, he directly kicked him out of the house, and from then on, he let his life and death be at his own discretion, and he didn't care about him at all, and didn't regard him as a member of the Shen family at all.
Later, in the construction of the new society and the new country, he worked excellently and capablely, and soon took on leadership positions. Gradually, he accumulated connections and gained a certain social status and influence. However, the Shen family in Hai City came to him again.
At first he ignored them, but eventually he could not resist wave after wave of lobbying by his relatives. Moreover, at that time, the entire Shen family was in a downturn and in a very difficult situation. They might be sent to the countryside and live in the cowshed at any time. The young and old men who were used to a life of luxury would rather die than suffer that kind of hardship, so they ran to Shen Heping and knelt down, begging him to save the Shen family.
Just imagine, an old clan elder kneeling down in tears to his young descendants, how miserable that is. Shen Heping couldn't bear it.
He tried his best, mobilized all his connections, and even asked his father-in-law and uncle for help. In the end, the Shen family was saved from being relegated and some of the industrial dividends were retained. That is to say, the people of the Shen family did not have to work, but would not starve to death, and could receive a fixed "salary" every month.
They were not as luxurious and wealthy as before, but they were not poor either. They had all kinds of supplies, enough to eat and dress warmly, had some spare money, and most importantly, they could continue to live in their tall, spacious house.
The Shen clan members came to Shen Heping again, but this time Shen Heping was helpless. Under the current circumstances, no ability of his could be used.
The big houses and yards in the clan should be divided up. Everyone should live in a house of more than ten square meters. It is enough to live in. No special treatment should be given.
What Shen Heping can do is to use his connections to find some relatively easy and free jobs for the young and middle-aged people in the clan, so that they can support themselves and their families.
Shen Yaoxuan's job at the museum was also found by Shen Heping.
However, Shen Jintang was unwilling to give up the old house. His second wife and younger brothers and sisters also strongly instigated him. Shen Jintang went to Shen Heping in person, admitted that he was wrong, and begged Shen Heping to return to the Shen family, assume the responsibility of the eldest son, take care of the family and look after his younger brothers and sisters.
The most important thing is to preserve your old house no matter what. It is your grandfather's favorite garden-style courtyard, your grandfather's hard work! You are your grandfather's most valued grandson. He worked so hard to raise you. You can't let your grandfather's hard work be destroyed. His spirit in heaven will not rest in peace!
Shen Heping didn't care about Shen Jintang's sudden lowered attitude. He didn't care about the eldest son or grandson, but he took the words "grandfather's hard work" to heart.
He used his strong connections to save the old house. Of the three courtyards, he only kept the most important one, the middle courtyard, because that was where his grandparents and mother spent most of their time when they were alive, and there were trees and flowers planted and cultivated by them.
Shen Heping didn't want the yard to be divided up and eventually lose its original appearance.
This was a good thing for Shen Jintang. In the entire Shen family, and even in other large families in the same situation around them, only his family could continue to live in a good courtyard house.
But what were Shen Shuyue and the other two girls shouting just now? They didn't allow Shen Yu to take Taotao back to the old house, and they were not allowed to enter the door!
Shen Heping's face turned black again: What an idiot! He even remembers the well digger when he drinks the water. How dare he make up stories about his son and daughter-in-law in front of him!
He could keep the yard, or he could have it taken away in a minute and not allow them to live there. Then they would have no place to cry.
Although Shen Heping was angry, he still had to clean up the mess first. The men and women in the yard didn't dare to move, because if they moved they would be almost naked. They either squatted or stood, hugged their chests and cried, asking their uncle to help them and give them clothes to wear.
Shen Jincheng was thrown too hard by Shen Yu and he couldn't get up. He sighed and called for Shen Yaoxuan to go out and help him.
Shen Yaoxuan had already eaten in the house, and it was not convenient for him to go out. The look on his nieces' faces was simply unbearable to look at.
Uncle Su pulled him to sit at the table to drink soup and eat. They had come to eat with their nephew in the first place, and they were finally able to eat now. They were very hungry.
Shen Heping walked into the house and asked Uncle Su to eat slowly. He was no longer hungry because of the chaos he had caused. He frowned and thought for a while, then went to open a cupboard and took out a few rolls of cloth. These were old curtains from the second floor. He had redecorated the rooms on the second floor some time ago to welcome his daughter-in-law Taotao and put up new curtains. The old curtains had been stuffed in the cupboard, and now they came in handy.
Not caring that the old curtains were dusty and had not been washed, he called Shen Yaoxuan to come over and help. He used scissors to cut them into several large pieces, and gave each person one piece in the yard, regardless of gender. He asked them to wrap themselves up and stay in the house first, so as to avoid being seen in the yard and embarrassing themselves.
I'll call the driver later and ask him to go to the store in the factory living area to buy a few sets of ready-made clothes.
He was so unlucky that he had to pay a large sum of money for no reason and buy new clothes for some ungrateful people.
Shen Heping secretly vowed to learn from his lesson and never bother with these people again.
Just as his son said, the more he cares, the more people will look for him and won't let go, but he had clearly severed ties with that side long ago. Back then, Shen Jintang had a large family and a great fortune, and he had cut ties with them decisively. Now they are still entangled and insist on acknowledging his status as the eldest son of the eldest house, which is nothing but using him.
If the Shen family had a chance to rise again, Shen Jintang would still kick him out.
Shen Heping believed that his biological father was indeed a piece of shit.
He was redundant, his job was thankless, he was used by the Shen family, and his son and daughter-in-law were looked down upon. The two children were such proud people. The Shen family had gone too far and could never be forgiven.
From now on, don't even think about getting any benefits from him! (End of this chapter)
