Chapter 29: Slap in the face



Except for Goudan and Yaya, no one in the big family in the woodshed slept well, especially Shen Yu, who woke up early and naturally heard the noise outside.

Shen Mingxi stood in the low thatched house, looking coldly at the domineering Old Lady Shen.

Shen Jiawen was about to go out, but Shen Mingxi stopped him.

Because of the creek's obstruction, Chen Li, who was already dressed neatly, sat anxiously on the edge of the kang, her heart beating wildly.

She didn't know what was waiting for her.

But she felt uneasy about letting the children stand in front of her, but the children would not let her go out, because if she went out it would mean repeating her old life.

So, no one would take Xiaoxi’s words yesterday seriously.

This was something everyone had discussed in the morning before Old Lady Shen arrived.

Shen Yu agreed.

At this moment, he lowered his head, and suddenly, Shen Mingxi discovered one thing, that is, his father and grandmother actually seldom talked to each other, and no one came to Shen Yu to discuss things at home, so Shen Yu's presence was really too low.

It's so low that it's almost non-existent.

At this moment, he just sat on the kang with his head down, gently comforting Goudan and Yaya who were frightened awake. He didn't even look at Old Lady Shen.

If you say he is filial, there is no affection for his mother in his eyes. If you say he is unfilial, he allows the old lady to oppress their family.

Shen Mingxi suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked out.

Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan followed quickly.

Seeing these three people, Old Lady Shen's eyes flashed, she clenched the fire stick, stared at Shen Mingxi with poisonous eyes, and asked viciously, "Where is your mother?"

"You forgot what we said yesterday. Today it's Second Aunt's turn to make breakfast, and tomorrow it's Third Aunt's turn. Isn't this the arrangement in our village? You should go find Second Aunt now. Why are you looking for my mom?" Shen Mingxi retorted bluntly.

"you……"

Old Mrs. Shen was choked and speechless.

"Grandma, hurry up. We can't go to work if we don't eat. Third Uncle said that if you ask for leave without reason during the summer harvest, your work points will be deducted double." Shen Mingxi reminded.

"Yes, grandma, I told you very clearly yesterday. Don't bully my mother anymore. Her son has grown up." Shen Jiawen said lightly.

"That's right, don't you say every day that my dad is not filial to you as a son? So my brother and I will take this as a warning and will definitely be filial to my dad and mom. You want to hit my mom, that's definitely not allowed!"

As she was talking, she actually took a step forward and snatched the fire stick. A hint of anger flashed in Shen Qingshan's eyes. The fire stick was used not only for making fire, but also for beating people with it, and the one who was hit the most was their eldest wife.

Suddenly, Shen Qingshan hated this thing.

He held the fire stick across his body, bent his right leg, and broke the fire stick with a snap.

Old Mrs. Shen didn't react.

When she came to her senses, she fell to the ground with a scream. This time, she was really scared.

She screamed in fear, "...Old man, second brother, third brother, please come quickly, beat me up, I won't live any longer..."

Shen Mingxi looked at Old Lady Shen coldly, and the three siblings stood there in tacit understanding without saying a word.

At this time, the neighbors had all gotten up. In the early morning, in a quiet corner of the village, the sound of an old lady howling like a ghost was suddenly heard. Everyone who heard it ran over excitedly to watch the fun.

In those days, entertainment was still scarce, so watching fights became one of the entertainment activities.

Especially the lively atmosphere came from the usually quiet Shen family.

Then I saw Old Mrs. Shen sitting on the ground, crying and cursing.

This is really rare.

You know, the eldest son in Old Lady Shen's family is very filial. Although he is biased to the point of being extremely partial, he is a good person. He never says a word, works hard, and never fights back when being beaten or scolded. Therefore, among the family of more than 20 people, you have never heard a quarrel.

Because of this, the Shen family was awarded the title of "Five Good Families".

The five-good families were rewarded with 50 kilograms of food and a large teapot.

Old man Shen is relatively okay, but old lady Shen is the most boastful. Whenever there is a fight, she always stands in the front, watching and commenting. She says that her daughter-in-law and granddaughter work hard to wash clothes, cook for her, and feed pigs and chickens. Her children do all the work and never fight for it. They just work hard and are happy as long as they are given something to eat.

Anyway, the words he said can make people angry to death.

To be honest, some of the old ladies in Kaoshantun were really jealous of her.

We are both torturing others, but why do they not say anything while we ourselves are seeking death?

So, today, after finally seeing Old Lady Shen's lively life, several people wanted to call everyone in the village to come and see.

In this way, seven or eight people stood outside the wall of Shen's house.

In fact, the people in the main house had not yet gotten up.

At this time, everyone who could wake up heard the crying and shouting in the yard.

Shen Baozhi, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the beeping alarm of the system in her head.

"Host, Shen Qingshan, hardworking and patient value -50, Shen Jiawen, -50, Shen Yu -20, Chen Li -10..."

Shen Baozhi sat up suddenly and exclaimed, "Isn't this reduced?"

"Host, Chen Li has quite a lot of points."

"It's useless to have her. We still have to rely on those people to do the work."

"By the way, where is Shen Mingxi's?" she asked anxiously.

"Host, I was just about to tell you this. Shen Mingxi is currently unable to view the score. I have been banned from doing so."

Shen Baozhi was stunned for a moment, scratched his hair angrily, and asked in a shrill voice, "What's going on?"

"Host, it's unclear at the moment."

Then Shen Mingxi's clear and sonorous voice came from the yard, "Grandma, my mother is not in good health and has been very tired these days. She has been cooking for more than ten years, but she didn't get up this morning, so you cursed and kicked the door of our big room."

"You don't feel bad, you and your two sons have a good house to live in, but our family of seven depends on this door to keep out the wind and rain. Fortunately, it's summer, we can bear it, but we have to go to work soon. You don't let Second Aunt come out to cook quickly, do you want all the laborers in our Shen family to go to work on an empty stomach?"

"Grandma, don't cry. Smoke is coming out of every chimney now."

"Shen Mingxi, are you crazy? Do you want to piss off your grandma so early in the morning? What about your dad? Is he blind or deaf? Are you going to let you cause unrest in the family?"

Shen Hai was the first to rush out, pointing at Shen Mingxi with a purple face and questioning him viciously.

"Uncle, you are so heartless to say that. How can you curse my father so viciously? My father gave his job to you. He worked in the fields without any regrets. Now he is so tired that he can't even straighten his back. My mother is not in good health. She just asked Aunt to make breakfast. How can it be our fault? Shouldn't you wake up Aunt at this time?"
