What four laborers, what full work points, it's all nonsense. The first wife is just working like a slave for the second wife. This is what my mother said herself, so they have no right to snatch food from them.
Uncle San was not thinking about these things. What he was thinking was that if the family really split up, it would be fine if the split was done neatly, but if only the eldest branch, which was doomed to disaster, was split up, then the third branch would be the ones to work like slaves.
He didn't believe that the second wife, who was doted on by her parents, would treat them well.
But there was nothing he could do. He was not good at working and had no education, so he could only rely on his second brother for help.
Besides, it’s the eldest brother’s family that I’m tormenting, not them.
Although the torture was a bit harsh sometimes, it was Xiaoxi's fault that he was a jinx.
This can only be blamed on their bad luck.
After Old Man Shen finished his meal, Shen Hai lit a pack of cigarettes for him. The old man took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled, and his eyes were suddenly filled with smoke.
But he felt much better, and called his two sons over, "Come here..."
Old Mrs. Shen left the west room with a gloomy face.
It was completely dark outside. Ji Daju and Wu Zhaodi carried out the empty bowls, chopsticks and pots and piled them in the big pot.
As usual, waiting for Chen Li to come and wash.
Because after washing, they have to cook a pot of pig food. After all, the Shen family only has a big iron pot for the time being.
People and pigs eat from the same pot, which is nothing serious. Most farmers who raise pigs do this nowadays. As long as they clean up, there is no problem.
After Chen Li finished her work in the woodshed, she went to the kitchen to wash dishes, clean pots and cook pig food.
There was no electric light in the kitchen, only an oil lamp. She looked at Chen Li gloomily. Chen Li's legs felt a little weak, but she still held on. They had a full meal tonight. This old lady Shen must be unhappy. If she took out her anger on her, the matter would be over. She just had to bear it.
Xiaoxi had grown up, and she couldn't bear the old lady always beating and scolding her for no reason.
She lowered her head and worked very quickly.
She is a hardworking person, so this kind of work is no problem for her.
Old Mrs. Shen watched and scolded, while Chen Li listened submissively.
The old lady was still frightened today, so when she scolded Chen Li, she did not dare to yell loudly like she did in the past, with her voice shaking the sky. Her voice was not loud and only Chen Li could hear it.
Chen Li finally finished her work. She looked at Old Lady Shen timidly, "Mom, calm down. I'm going to give Yaya a bath..."
Having said that, Chen Li got up and walked away.
Old Mrs. Shen was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. She picked up a fire stick and chased after him. She couldn't help but raise her voice and cursed, "Chen Li, you troublemaker, you have corrupted my son and grandson. How dare you go against us? Don't you want to live anymore, you..."
Then, the sharp sound stopped abruptly.
The light from the house shone into the yard, and she saw the two Shen Jiawen brothers glaring at her.
Especially Shen Qingshan, his eyes were the most cruel and terrifying.
Shen Qingshan glared at Old Lady Shen angrily. Although he didn't say anything, his clenched fists made a crackling sound. Old Lady Shen was frightened and her hand holding the fire poker began to shake.
What this world lacks the most are people who bully the weak and fear the strong.
This is the case with Old Lady Shen in front of us.
She took a few steps back, staring blankly at the tall twin brothers, wondering vaguely, Chen Li, this useless spendthrift woman, has already given birth to such a big child...
She was in a dilemma, and at this time, Shen Baozhi came, smiling, as if she didn't know what had just happened. She winked at the three siblings in front of her with unpredictable expressions, "Brother, sister, I'll take grandma back to the house. You guys should also take a rest quickly. We've been exhausted all day. It's too hard..."
Then, without waiting for them to speak, he hurriedly pulled Old Lady Shen and said, "Grandma, it's time for you to go back to the house and rest. Let's go. There are so many mosquitoes outside..."
Old Mrs. Shen finally found the stairs. Her eyes were filled with her baby Shen Baozhi. This child was the little fairy sent by God.
She followed Shen Baozhi swiftly.
There was no way. Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan, who had always had no sense of existence, suddenly became tall and terrifying. She needed to think carefully about them.
Chen Li was a little confused. How could Mrs. Shen leave so easily?
She murmured, "Baozhi is a good child. Thanks to her, otherwise, your grandma would have hit her again today..."
Shen Mingxi glanced at the lights in the main house and said bluntly, "Mom, have you forgotten that when my grandma beat and scolded you many times, Shen Baozhi was watching from the side. My grandma was afraid of my eldest brother and second brother. What does it have to do with her?"
Shen Qingshan, who originally thought that Chen Li was right, suddenly understood. He smiled happily, "Xiaoxi, if you hadn't said it, I would have almost thought so."
"You silly boy, you should think more about things in the future." Shen Jiawen, who had been silent, spoke.
Chen Li was so ashamed that she didn't know what to do. Shen Mingxi didn't blame Chen Li too much. Her mother had lived a very hard life over the years, and she was the most submissive one.
The road that their eldest family has to take is actually very difficult.
She pulled Chen Li's arm and said, "Mom, go inside and have a rest. By the way, you can take care of the vegetable garden tomorrow morning, but don't do anything else. I, my eldest brother, and my second brother will take care of everything."
"Yes, Mom, we are responsible for everything..."
Shen Jiawen spoke calmly but seemed to be promising something.
In the main house, Old Man Shen looked at Old Lady Shen, who looked upset, and frowned, "What happened to the eldest brother's family today? Find out tomorrow if you have nothing to do and see if someone instigated them."
"Who could instigate this? Hasn't that damn girl been working with two kids from the city and three others these days? By the way, I heard that Feng Anchen got his leg cut by a sickle this afternoon..."
Old Mrs. Shen said unhappily.
Shen Baozhi's eyes flickered. Shen Mingxi and Feng Anchen were working together? Hearing the name Feng Anchen, Old Man Shen glanced at Shen Baozhi and said nothing. Shen Hai next to him said impatiently, "Dad, Mom, you just let them ride on your necks and show off their power. You can't indulge them. Otherwise, you won't be able to control them anymore..."
