Chapter 18: A Big Rumble



He just responded vaguely at the time and didn't take it seriously at all.

It was their own business, and everyone in their family was happy about it. Why would he care about other people's business? But after all, he had a status. Third Master Shen was the cousin of his fourth uncle and the captain of the team. Naturally, he had to give him face.

So, I agreed to it on the surface.

But he knew that if that damn girl Shen Mingxi really came to find him, the old guy would definitely show up.

He also wanted to be named a five-good family, so of course he couldn't let Mr. Shen know.

His face was gloomy, and he was about to call Shen Yu to come out and take the dead girl away, but Old Lady Shen had vicious eyes and rushed towards Shen Mingxi like a madman, "Dead girl, you jinx, I'm going to beat you to death..." She kept cursing.

Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan were grown men after all, and they stopped Old Lady Shen who wanted to beat their sister, but they couldn't fight back because this person was their grandmother after all.

So, they got beaten.

Fortunately, because they were tall, the old lady couldn’t reach their faces, so she could only beat their backs as they protected their sister.

Shen Mingxi looked at no one but Old Man Shen. She didn't hesitate at all, her eyes were fierce, "Grandpa, if grandma keeps beating and scolding me, I won't ask you anymore. I'm going to go find Third Grandpa with this basin of washing water. Don't think I can't leave this door, unless you beat me and your two eldest grandsons to death, unless you want everyone in Kaoshan Village to know about it..."

Her voice was high-pitched and her eyes were sinister, with the courage to fight to the death.

A dark light flashed in Shen Baozhi's eyes. There was something wrong with Shen Mingxi.

How could someone who had always been submissive suddenly rebel? A hint of interest flashed across her eyes, and she really wanted to know what Shen Mingxi wanted to ask.

At this moment, everyone on the kang, on the ground, and eating stopped and looked at Shen Mingxi in surprise.

Wu Zhaodi, who was always greedy, took advantage of no one's attention and quickly stuffed the two oil dumplings in the large bowl into her mouth.

Then he looked at the little girl standing there.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Old Man Shen and Shen Mingxi.

Old man Shen wanted to overturn the table. He was so angry that his face turned blue, and he wanted to beat Shen Mingxi to death.

But he considered more.

This was the time when the neighbors were resting in the front and back yards, and Shen Mancang's family didn't want anyone to watch the fun.

He pointed at the old woman and said sternly, "Don't do anything yet."

When Old Lady Shen saw her husband's expression, she immediately understood what he meant. She looked at Shen Mingxi with a ferocious face. She wanted to hear what this damn girl wanted to ask.

The room suddenly became much quieter without any more scolding.

Old man Shen then gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, stared at Shen Mingxi with a gloomy look, and slammed the table. "Okay, ask, I'll see what you can get out of it."

"Grandpa, first question." Shen Mingxi pointed at the clear rice water, also known as the water used to wash pots, and said word by word with a loud voice, "Why do you and grandma allow your eldest son and his family to eat this rice water, and they have been eating it for more than ten years? Which family's rules are you following?"

Old Man Shen frowned, but did not refute what Old Lady Shen said, as if he thought that Old Lady Shen was right.

The others looked on with different thoughts.

But no one came forward to speak for justice.

However, Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan became more and more angry.

Shen Mingxi looked at Old Man Shen coldly. She was finally sure that Old Man Shen knew everything, but he just watched helplessly as all the unfairness happened under his nose.

Just like in the previous life! Shen Mingxi's voice became even louder, with overwhelming anger, "Second question, we have four strong laborers in the big house, and we have earned full work points throughout the year. My mother and third uncle only earned one point less than the full work points, and the second and third aunts together only earned one point more than the full work points. You are the only one in the main house who has earned full work points."

"I won't count how much grain and money the eldest family has earned over the years. I'll just say that last year, the 20 people in our Shen family not only didn't spend a penny of the grain they got, but also received 120 yuan in cash. If the grain and money were divided into six parts, the seven people in our eldest family should get four parts, and you, the thirteen people in the main house, would only get two parts at most. But in the end, grandma actually scolds us for being freeloaders every day. Grandpa, let me ask you, who is the freeloader?"

"The third question is, my dad gave his job to my second uncle, which means he gave him a stable job. This is a sign of brotherly love, but my dad is in poor health and always coughs. Over the years, my second uncle has only bought a pill for his eldest brother and a candy for his children. Let me ask you again, who is the ungrateful one?"

"The fourth question is, you have three daughters-in-law, but for ten years, why is it that only my mother is the only one who cooks, feeds the pigs, and tends the vegetable garden?"

"Fifth question, Goudan, Yaya and I feed the two chickens, so why can't they eat even a bite of eggs all year round? The cucumbers in the vegetable garden have been there for a whole summer, but we are not allowed to touch any of them like in previous years. Instead, they eat whatever they want without doing anything. Grandpa, tell me, why is that?"

The girl's voice was crisp yet high-pitched, filled with grief and indignation. Every word she spoke was like a knife, every word was like a line of tears. She spoke very quickly, leaving no chance for Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen to refute.

There was a raging fire in her eyes, as if the next moment, this place would be reduced to ashes.

Old Mrs. Shen, who was always domineering and violent, became mute with her mouth open and eyes wide open.

The room suddenly became quiet.

It was so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of people's heartbeats.

Chen Li supported Shen Yu as they stood by the door with tears on their faces. Goudan looked at his third sister in admiration, wiping his tears with his little black hands from time to time, leaving black and white streaks on his face.

Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan suffered the greatest impact.

It seemed that a powerful shock wave was emitted with Shen Mingxi as the center. The shock wave made their minds roar continuously, as if it was breaking an iceberg-like barrier bit by bit, and their eyes gradually regained clarity.

The two are twins, and they feel the same way at this moment.

It was as if my mind, which had been in chaos for many years, suddenly became filled with bright light.

Shen Qingshan was the most ruthless and the most active. He pushed Old Lady Shen away and looked at Old Man Shen viciously, "Grandpa, you haven't answered the question my sister asked you."

Shen Jiawen suppressed his anger, picked up the rice and water that was distributed to them, walked a few steps, and put it on the table with a clang, "This is our dinner, it's almost like this every day. Look at the food you have here, Grandpa, can you eat it? Won't you choke?"
