Shen Hongxiu turned around and sighed as he watched his son leave.
This is his only son.
My son was pretty good when he was young, but now he is becoming less and less motivated.
He thought he was very clever and his little tricks could never escape the old man's eyes.
And also the education of children.
It's also a headache.
He was obsessed with research and his wife was not close to his granddaughters. When he discovered the problem, he realized that his eldest granddaughter really needed discipline.
I just don’t know if Shen Zhehan, as a father, has realized this.
Now it seems that the children of my second brother are much better than Shen Zhehan when it comes to educating their children.
Rubbing his forehead, Shen Hongxiu went to his study.
At this time, in the yard where Old Master Shen lived.
The lighting here is excellent.
The surroundings are lush and green, the environment is elegant, and precious flowers and trees are planted in the yard.
At the end of the ancient nine-curve corridor is the old man’s study.
At this time, the head of the Shen family, Old Master Shen, was sitting at the desk. He was 79 years old this year, his hair was completely white, but his eyes were sharp, and he exuded the majesty of a superior.
He looked at the documents and account books in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Next to him was his butler Shen Bo, who had been with him for decades.
The old man flipped through the pages, reading very carefully, but from his expression one could tell he was trying his best to endure it. His eyes were full of anger, and he seemed on the verge of exploding.
After reading the last page, he closed the account book with a snap.
He stood up suddenly.
With shaking hands, he pointed at the account book in front of him and said to Uncle Shen beside him, "Tell me, how have I treated him badly? Why does he always use these unpresentable things to fool me? I have brought him up by my side since he was five years old. It has been more than 30 years, why is he still so useless and short-sighted..."
Uncle Shen was startled and quickly said in a soft voice, "Grandpa, please don't be angry. Just do it step by step, and Zhehan will understand."
Old Master Shen slammed the table angrily, "He understands, how can he understand? He is already forty years old, has a son and a daughter, but he is still a useless person. How can there be such a useless person in my Shen family!"
Uncle Shen quickly poured a cup of warm tea for the old man, carefully placed it next to his left hand, and gently advised, "Old man, no matter what, you are the pillar of the family. Especially because of this, you should calm down and don't get angry and hurt your health."
"How can my body be good? It was better in the past few years, but now he is getting worse and worse. I won't talk about the fact that he keeps women outside, but look at him, he really treats the Shen family's property as his own.
He doesn't think about how to make it big, but only wants to put it in his own pocket. How can he be so petty? When did I teach him this? I raised him from a young age with fine clothes and delicious food. He shouldn't..."
Speaking of this, Old Master Shen was really heartbroken.
Even during the difficult times when food and supplies were in short supply, because the Shen family had their own channels, the children never suffered any hardship and now live a life of luxury.
What can Shen Bo say?
After all, Shen Zhehan was raised by the old man himself and was his most beloved grandson.
The Shen family has always paid attention to this.
But Shen Zhehan is indeed not very good.
After Old Master Shen finished venting his anger, he slumped down in a chair, his face looked very bad. Uncle Shen quickly handed him a cup of tea, which was a special health tea. The old man took a sip and felt a little better. He sighed and said, "Uncle Shen, lock these up. Don't let the second son see them."
If Shen Hongwen knew about this, he would definitely not give in.
At this time, Old Master Shen was really disappointed.
People outside think that the Shen family is wealthy and powerful, and people inside the family also think that the Shen family has countless wealth.
But they don’t know that each year is getting worse than the previous one.
After all the ups and downs over the years, the Shen family is essentially just a shell, but these people don't understand this at all.
Maybe they all understood it, even better than he did.
That's why his second son and eldest grandson worked so hard to make money.
This is because they are worried that the Shen family will fail in the future and they won't be able to survive.
It really disappointed him.
This is the time when we should work together.
And the second brother is now completely alienated from him.
He knew that he was concerned about the position of the head of the family.
But is it so easy to be the head of this family?
Besides, there is the ancestral precept, and the second brother is violent, stubborn and unpopular in the Shen family. If he takes the position of the head of the family, he will definitely dare to drive his eldest brother and his family out.
He has two sons and two daughters.
Now there are a lot of grandchildren.
But after looking around, it seems that there is no other suitable candidate except Zhe Ming from the second brother's family.
After reading these account books and materials, he was really disappointed with Shen Zhehan.
He thought that if the Shen family was handed over to him, he would not be able to drive out his second uncle's family, and might treat other people well. However, within a few years, the Shen family might be swallowed up by others.
Now, two companies are eyeing the several businesses he owns.
He has been feeling worse recently, but he has to hold on. He can't let the Shen family fall in his hands.
I couldn't help but think of Shen Zheming.
That was his second grandson, and he had the opposite personality from his father.
He is gentle, generous and open-minded, but lacks some business acumen.
But that's not a big deal.
As long as he can support the Shen family, the position of the head of the family will be given to him.
As for Shen Zhehan, he really didn't know how to teach him. He said what he should say and scolded him when he should scold him.
But he didn't take it to heart, what else could he do? Thinking of this, Old Master Shen's face became worse and worse. He closed his eyes dejectedly and leaned back on the armchair.
Uncle Shen at the side advised him gently, "Grandpa, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. Only when you are in good health can you do what you want to do."
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Uncle Shen walked through the living room and opened the door. Unexpectedly, it was Shen Zhehan. He smiled at him and said, "The young master is here."
"Uncle Shen, I'm here to see Grandfather."
"Your grandfather is in the study."
Uncle Shen closed the door and followed Shen Zhehan towards the study.
Shen Zhehan fears Old Master Shen more than he respects him.
At this time, Old Master Shen had regained his composure.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Zhehan, and said indifferently, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"I went to get the medical examination report for my parents this afternoon. I heard that you were in the yard, so I came to see you."
