Chapter 21: Just for a Meal



There is nothing wrong with having these things. After all, life is getting better and better now.

However, giving it to Feng Xiaowu through Shen Baozhi is a bit problematic.

He shook his head and sighed, wondering why he and Xiaowu were so worried.

But Feng Xiaowu is also innocent.

He doesn't even know Shen Baozhi.

Mr. Shen San still felt a little resentful in his heart. Shen Baozhi was supposed to be a smart girl, otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to be admitted to the county high school with the first place.

It is said that the commune middle school also gave her a reward.

How can you be so confused?

Xiao Wu has already rejected you twice, the meaning is self-evident, so don't get close to Xiao Wu. Why, why are you so clueless...

In this respect, there is really no comparison with the stream.

As Mr. Shen San was thinking, he unknowingly walked to the front door of Shen Mancang's house...

At the same time, Old Man Shen was already standing in front of the Shen family's main house with a gloomy face. He usually didn't want to care about it, but today he had no choice but to show up.

Fortunately, after those roars just now, Goudan and Yaya didn’t dare to cry anymore.

Shen Mingxi, who was causing trouble, also shut up.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud. The old man was still the old man. When he got angry, they were as scared as before.

He waved his hand impatiently, "...For a bite of food, the whole family came up here, do you still have any shame? Go back quickly, no one is allowed to eat tonight."

If you don't punish him, he will continue to make trouble tomorrow.

That won't work.

"...Grandpa, what you said is not right. Food is the first necessity of the people. Isn't the purpose of life to have a bite to eat? How come eating is not important in your eyes? If you think so, then no one in your main house should eat anymore."

Shen Mingxi, who thought he was suppressed, spoke sarcastically, not fearing the anger of old man Shen at all, and asked Zhenxing from his uncle's family who was secretly stuffing food into his mouth, "Sanwang, you are not allowed to eat from today, okay?"

Sanwang is the same age as Goudan. He doesn’t know much about family matters, but he knows that eating is the most important thing. “No, I want to eat…”

As he was talking, he started to dig into the rice porridge in the bowl.

Wu Zhaodi was originally here to watch the fun, but when she heard that her son Sanwang was not allowed to eat, how could she accept that? She glared at him and said, "Why don't you let us eat? Who do you think you are?"

Shen Mingxi looked at Old Man Shen sarcastically, "Third Aunt, what a good question you asked. Why don't you let us eat? We didn't steal or rob. Almost all the food on the table was earned by our eldest wife. How can you not even give us a bite to eat? You are more cruel than a wolf that eats people without leaving any bones..."

Old man Shen's face changed drastically, his face turned purple, and he pointed at Shen Mingxi with a trembling hand, "You, you, you..."

"Grandpa, why do you do that?"

Shen Jiawen suddenly spoke, his eyes were colder than ever, "Grandpa, Xiaoxi is right, you are not qualified as the head of the family, let's not waste time, just be straightforward, how are we going to eat tonight and in the future?"

Finally, he added, "Or we can split up right away."

Is this going to turn things around?

Old man Shen was really stunned when he saw his eldest grandson, who was thin but tall.

A sense of panic suddenly arose in my heart.

Shen Qingshan looked around, found the light cord, reached out and pulled it, and the light came on.

Electricity was connected to Kaoshantun last year, but due to power shortages, the power supply only lasts for three hours each night.

The Shen family only had electricity in the main house. There were no electric wires in the woodshed, and they still used oil lamps.

Goudan raised his head and looked at the light bulb with envy, without blinking. Shen Mingxi silently pressed his brother's head down and whispered, "Don't stare at it all the time, it hurts your eyes."

Goudan lowered his head obediently.

Shen Qingshan looked at everyone with different expressions, then stared at Old Man Shen, his tone was completely different from the past, "Why didn't you answer any of the questions my eldest brother and Xiaoxi asked? You are wrong, hurry up, how are we going to eat this meal? If you don't understand, my eldest brother and I will feed all the food to the pigs."

As he said this, he walked quickly to the dining table and pulled away the three people sitting there one by one. The table where Shen Baozhi had just sat was empty.

Shen Baozhi was almost driven to collapse by the beeping sound of the system in her head.

She looked at Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan in doubt. Are they going crazy too? "I'll count to one, two, three, Grandpa. I'm straightforward, but I always keep my word..." Shen Qingshan put his hand on the table.

Start counting in your mouth.

"one……"

Old man Shen's heart was lifted.

Everyone else turned their eyes to Shen Qingshan.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"two……"

Before Shen Qingshan could count to three, Old Man Shen shouted, "Eat, eat... Let's eat..."

His head was covered in sweat and his voice was trembling.

Shen Qingshan put down his hand.

Shen Mingxi smiled coldly, "Grandpa, let's eat normally from tonight. As for the division of the family, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Then she turned to look at her parents, "Mom, my dad's shoulder must have been broken by my grandma. You guys go back first. My eldest brother and second brother and I will divide our dinner here and take it back."

Chen Li's mind was already in a mess at this time. Although she was not very clear on weekdays, she was even more confused at this time.

Shen Yu was indeed very upset, and suddenly felt very sad. He had made such a fuss until now, just for a meal. He suddenly felt a little resentful towards his parents. Was it so difficult to feed their eldest wife? But he was a son, and there were no parents who were not right. Besides, when Old Lady Shen gave birth to him, it was difficult. He should be filial to his parents.

However, no one seemed to notice his filial piety.

He supported Chen Li, his breath was a little weak, and his voice was very low, "... Let's... go back first..."

Chen Li always listened to her husband. She supported Shen Yu and turned to leave. Shen Mingxi winked at Goudan. Goudan was smart. He smiled happily at his third sister, then took Yaya's hand and followed Shen Yu away.

Shen Mingxi did not delay any longer and looked at the so-called Shen family in front of her with sarcasm. She stopped talking and swiftly picked up the wooden basin containing the pot-washing water on the kang table and poured it into another basin. She began to serve the sticky corn porridge. After that, she directly used a large bowl to fill a bowl of vegetables and a plate of cold vegetables.

Shen Mingxi moved quickly. The brothers Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan protected her on both sides. Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen watched helplessly as half of the food was gone. Old Lady Shen wanted to rush forward, but when she thought of Shen Qingshan's cruelty just now, she still didn't dare to move. Instead, she sat on the stool, slapped her thigh and cried, "... We can't live like this anymore. These are robbers. They want to starve our whole family to death. You will be punished..."
