Chapter 99 Who feeds whom?



"That's right. Can't you see that everyone is lining up now? They were originally very happy, why are you crying here? It's really depressing!"

"Oh, don't say that. After all, Old Lady Shen is Boss Shen's biological mother. Isn't it natural for her to ask her son for some food?"

"But you can't take all the food away."

“…”

There were many different opinions and the place was in a mess. Master Shen was so angry that he wanted to slap them in the face.

Such a happy event of food distribution was messed up by them.

However, Mr. Shen San thought about it and decided not to go up to help.

Because he wanted to see today what Shen Yu could do.

If Old Lady Shen really moved all the wheat away, he would be really disappointed in her.

At this time, it was impossible for Old Lady Shen to just sit on the ground crying and making a fuss. Seeing that Shen Yu's expression seemed to have softened and compromised, she stood up with the help of her two daughters-in-law, staring at Shen Yu with vicious eyes.

It seemed as if she would kill Shen Yu if he didn't agree to give her all the wheat today.

"Mom, the wheat is all here. Don't worry. Let's talk about it after you have distributed it. Besides, the team leader and the accountant also have work to do. The villagers are all waiting for their distribution..."

Shen Yu coaxed her softly.

Everyone around looked at Old Lady Shen with envy.

This is really a good and filial son.

Some people around them were so envious. How come they didn't have such a filial son? But Old Man Shen was not as optimistic as Old Lady Shen.

He stared at Shen Yu with a gloomy look.

The person is still the same person, the clothes are still the same, but it is different from before.

So Old Man Shen was a little panicked.

The second and third sons of the Shen family were queuing, and it was their turn now.

Using work points to convert into grain, they received 80 kilograms.

Shen Hai instinctively felt that it was impossible.

It can’t be so little.

Except for him and his mother, everyone else works in the fields.

He knew he wasn't as capable as Dafang, but he couldn't be that far behind.

With his brows furrowed tightly, he asked questioningly, "That's not right, did I remember it wrong?"

The person who recorded the work points was the eldest son of Master Li Wu, whose name was Li Tiezhu.

He has always been the most fair person in Kaoshantun, and this is the first time in all these years that someone has questioned him.

He slapped the table, looked at the unhappy Shen Hai, and laughed, "You are not going to work in the fields, I advise you not to talk nonsense."

"Why am I talking nonsense, why is there so little?"

If there is so little this time, then it is obvious that there won’t be much grain to share after the autumn harvest.

Li Tiezhu pointed at his account book, then at his family members behind him, and looked them up and down with contempt. He didn't want to get involved in the Shen family's affairs. The scorekeeper's job back then was to choose between him and Shen Yu, and he was convinced to choose Shen Yu.

But who would have thought that Shen Yu gave the job to Shen Lao San after working for less than three days, which made him very angry. Fortunately, Shen Gang was a nobody and made a mess of it after just a few days.

Besides, no matter whose doubts he accepted, he could not accept the doubts from the lazy second and third branches of the Shen family.

Even if this person is Shen Hai, who works at the supply and marketing cooperative, he doesn't care.

What?

How dare he not sell his things?

He raised his voice, "Shen Hai, although the old man here earns full work points every day, he has asked for leave quite a few times in the past six months. Your third brother's work points are the lowest among the men in Kaoshan Village. Your wife has worked for 25 days so far, Wu Zhaodi has worked for 38 days, and your eldest son and daughter have not earned a cent..."

There were sounds of laughter and chatter coming from behind the crowd, and Ji Daju and Wu Zhaodi looked unhappy.

But they knew best how many days' work they had done. She opened her mouth to retort, but dared not.

Someone said sarcastically, "Look at the two daughters-in-law of the Shen family. They are really lucky. The work points they earn are not as good as what my little boy did during the summer vacation."

Shen Hai's face was gloomy.

Li Tiezhu ignored his expression and continued lightly, "Shen Hai, you eat commercial grain, so you have a discount. After everyone has divided it, we will calculate it for you separately. It's okay, it won't cost much."

Shen Hai clenched his teeth.

"Sign quickly, the people below are still waiting."

Distributing food is a big deal. Who wouldn’t be anxious? Who doesn’t want to eat delicious fried cakes and big steamed buns?

Someone behind started to urge him.

Shen Hai had no choice but to grit his teeth and sign.

The 80 kilograms of wheat were carried away by the third son of the Shen family.

Shen Yu saw them coming over, and it was exactly as he expected. He gently asked Old Man Shen, "Dad, what do you think?"

"What do I see?"

"Today's wheat has been distributed. Do you have any other ideas?"

Before Old Man Shen could say anything, Old Lady Shen said forcefully, "Your father's thoughts are my thoughts. Don't eat these wheat. Just consider it as a gift to honor your parents. Anyway, don't you still have the grain that your third uncle lent you at home?"

Even though Shen Yu's heart was as hard as iron, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes at this moment, but it was fleeting and soon disappeared.

Wasn't this what he had expected? "It's fine to be filial to your parents, but I have something to ask you. If you tell me clearly, all the wheat will be taken away."

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen looked at each other, then looked at their second son and third son.

It would be great if we could carry all of this away without spending a penny.

The food continued to be distributed over there, and in the corner of the auditorium, the Shen family gathered together. Mr. Shen Sanye stood with his hands behind his back, looking in that direction gloomily.

Although everyone was talking, their voices were not loud, because many people were paying close attention to the excitement at Old Lady Shen's house.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it." Old Man Shen said with a little impatience.

Shen Yu pointed to two piles of grain that were in stark contrast to each other, and said calmly, "Mom and Dad, the work situation of my second and third brothers' families has always been the same over the years, but why do you always say that you support the first family? So today I want to ask, who is supporting whom?"

The third son of the Shen family smiled and said, "Brother, we are a family, why do we have to be so clear about the differences? Is it so important who supports whom?"

Shen Yu suddenly became serious. "This is very important, very important, because all these years you have been saying that you are the ones who support our family, saying that we eat and drink for free. I didn't say it before, thinking that you would understand one day, but today I found that you don't understand, because if you understood, you wouldn't have lost your face and come to ask for the food I got."
