144: I Want to Eat Meat

(Girls' Literature)

Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang sat in the front seats, Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu stood on one side, Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui stood on one side, Shen Zian stood on one side, Sanlang, Wulang and Chunhua also stood there. The children from the first and second rooms stood with their parents, and when there was no room, they found a place to stand. The main room was not big to begin with, and with so many people standing at once, it seemed quite crowded.

Shen Ziping and Sun were kneeling on the open space in the middle, with Silang kneeling in the middle. His small body was curled up and he was still trembling. It was unclear whether he was scared or frozen from kneeling on the ground.

"Ms. Sun, now we are talking about Silang stealing the silver. We will talk about the private money you mentioned later."

As Shen Zhang spoke, she glanced at the three people from the Li family who had just come in, and finally looked at Li and Shen Zigui. It was obvious that she was also concerned about the private money. A person who is both a mother and a mother-in-law, when it is clear that private money is not allowed to be saved, found out that someone has saved so much private money, and it was discovered by her own grandson in an dishonorable way. It is like being hit on the left cheek and then on the right cheek. Even the best tempered person will be angry at this time.

Su Zhi looked at Shen Zhang's eyes and thought to herself that this old woman would definitely try to make trouble out of this matter, right?

When Shen Zigui and Li saw Shen Zhang looking at them, they both felt nervous. Chunyue was standing next to her parents, and her hand could not help but grab Li's hand. This made Li's heart even more nervous, but she felt relieved when she thought of what Wang and Su Zhi said to her. She glanced at her daughter and signaled that she was fine. Chunyue felt slightly relieved.

When Sun heard this, she was delighted. She thought that her mother had put the second wife on record, and would definitely mention this matter later. Once it was mentioned, the second wife would definitely be in trouble. It would be best for them to leave the house and leave the money behind! However, when she thought that Shen Zhang was unwilling to ignore Si Lang's matter, she glared at Si Lang again. This stupid kid, why did he admit that he was a thief when someone said he was a thief? He didn't even know how to offset the blame. He really wasn't like her own son! If he could offset the blame, when she came in, he would become a hero who exposed the second wife's hidden money. Not only would he not be punished, but he would also get benefits. Now it's good enough to be able to offset the merits and demerits.

When Silang saw his mother glaring at him, he started crying again with his mouth wide open.

"Shut up!"

Shen Youfu said angrily, and the frightened Silang dared not cry anymore, and could only shed tears. The face full of snot and tears looked as dumb as it could be, which made Shen Youfu even more unhappy.

Shen Youfu frowned and looked at Silang, saying, "I've heard about Silang stealing things a long time ago. When they came to my house, I said they suspected him. After all, there was no evidence at that time, and it caused a lot of trouble for us. Now it seems that they didn't wrongly accuse him!"

Sun pushed Silang from behind. Then she said, "Dad, Silang really didn't do those things. You can't assume that Silang did those things just because of what happened today. Silang, tell your grandfather that you didn't do those things! Say that you only took the bag when you went to Second Uncle's house to find food today. Tell me now!"

Si Lang sobbed and said, "Grandpa, I didn't do those things. I only took Second Uncle's things..."

Wang snorted, "Something has been missing from my house. It wasn't Silang who took it. Is there another thief in the house?"

Shen Zhang frowned and said, "My dear wife, stop talking nonsense!"

Wang was unhappy, thinking that she was not talking nonsense, and she was not allowed to tell the truth. At this time, she began to envy Su Zhi and Li for being separated. In fact, she had always been jealous, but she thought it was better not to separate the family because she wanted to use Shen Ziju's power in the future. However, as long as she was wronged in this family, she would think of the benefits of separation, especially at this time, when she was oppressed by Shen Zhang, she wanted to separate the family, so that she could be the master of the family.

Wang began to wonder if she was wrong not to speak out when Li was arguing about the division of the family.

Shen Zhu was standing beside Shen Zhang at this time. She gently pulled Shen Zhang's clothes and said, "Mother, do you remember what I told you? I was also short of a handkerchief and a box of rouge."

When Shen Zhu said this, her eyes looked at Sun. She thought that it was useless for Silang to take these women's things. If he took them, they must have been given to Sun. In other words, maybe Sun asked him to take them. Was this Third Sister-in-law plotting against her?

When Sun heard this, she immediately started to protest and said, "Zhu'er! You can't say such nonsense at this time! What you are saying now means that the thing you threw away was taken by my Silang, right? He is a boy who loves to eat. If you say that he took the money, you can say that he went to buy food. But if you say that he took your handkerchief to touch the powder, how can you say that? What do you think of my Silang? Zhu'er, Third Sister-in-law is always kind to you. Don't say that it is impossible that Silang took your things. Even if he did, you shouldn't say it now..."

Sun wiped her eyes vigorously and tears came out.

Shen Ziping also said at this time: "Dad, Mom, Silang was just looking for food, and he took a look at the money bag because he thought he could buy some candy when he saw money in it. Just this once, you can't blame him for all the things thrown away at home, that would be too unfair to him. If this kid is wronged and grows up to be crooked, how can we live!"

Shen Zhu said, "I was just saying it. I didn't say that Si Lang took it. Why are you making such a fuss, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law? My eldest sister-in-law and I both lost something. It's not a secret. You weren't so panicked when I mentioned it before. Why do you think I said it was Si Lang now? You are really overthinking."

Sun and Shen Ziping were both speechless. They thought to themselves that Shen Zhu, what she said at that time clearly meant that Silang took it, but now she said that she didn't say that. She is such a cunning girl. After the two of them had such a fight, it seemed more like Silang took it.

Shen Youfu stared at the three people kneeling on the ground and said, "Whether you stole once or many times, you stole other people's things. You must be punished! Such shameful behavior cannot be tolerated in our Shen family. This kind of bad behavior must be punished. Silang is still young. If he is cured now, it will not affect his life. If he is not cured, he will really become a thief in the future. Then he will be ruined, and our Shen family can't afford to lose him!"

Shen Zhang said, "Master, you are right, but Silang is still young, so don't punish him too harshly. If you are still not satisfied, just punish his parents. Ziping and his wife cannot escape the blame this time. But they are not in good health, so you should think carefully and don't punish them too harshly."

Su Zhi laughed in her heart, thinking that Shen Zhang's kindness was really interesting. If she punished her grandson, he was too young to be punished harshly. If she punished her son and daughter-in-law, they were not in good health and could not be punished severely. So should she not punish them? Would she not be allowed to eat in the end?

After hearing what Shen Zhang said, Shen Youfu frowned and looked at Silang, which frightened Silang so much that he almost cried again.

"Shiro, don't eat lunch today."

Su Zhi laughed wildly in her heart, thinking that this was really the trick. The Shen family was so interesting. No wonder everyone was so thin. They only had two meals in total, and were always punished to skip a meal. If they didn't lose weight, they would have become fat even by drinking cold water. The people in the Shen family were really blessed.

"No! I want to eat! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

When Silang heard that he was not allowed to eat, he immediately screamed and tears flowed. For a little kid like him, the meal during the New Year was the most delicious meal. He could not bear not being allowed to eat, so he immediately burst into tears. He was not even afraid of his grandpa, whom he was most afraid of.

"Grandpa, please beat me up! I want to eat! I am not full every day, and I can only eat a full meal during the Chinese New Year. I don't want to be hungry, I want to eat a full meal! I want to eat meat! Today it is my fourth aunt who is cooking, I want to eat the meal that my fourth aunt cooks! Ugh... Grandpa, please beat me up! I want to eat! I don't want to be hungry!"

Silang's words made Su Zhi, who was originally smiling in her heart, stop smiling all of a sudden. She suddenly felt a little sad, thinking that the Shen family had starved the child to such an extent that he could only have a full meal and plenty of meat during the Chinese New Year, and he was willing to be beaten for this meal. The Shen family obviously shouldn't be such a poor family, they could support a scholar.

Shen Ziju looked at Su Zhi's eyes and looked at him. His heart skipped a beat. When he heard Si Lang's words, his face suddenly turned red. He wondered if Si Lang thought that he had spent all the money in the family and that was why his nephews were not full. At this moment, he felt a little ashamed, a little angry, and a little ambitious. Finally, he thought that he would become a high official and let his family live a good life. He looked at Su Zhi, wanting her to see his determination, but found that Su Zhi was no longer looking at him.

At this time, Sun was already holding Silang and crying loudly, "My poor son, you haven't had a full meal for several days since you were born. You are so hungry that you take other people's things. Who can you blame? My son, you have to bear it. Your uncle will pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. When he becomes an official, you can eat meat and wear new clothes every day. My son, you have to bear it. Both father and mother have to bear it. It's okay to be hungry for a meal. Mother will give you more water. You have to fight for your dignity..."

Sun's crying made everyone in the room look unhappy. The people in the first and second houses felt especially bad because they had been hungry for so many years.
