Chapter 240 Chunyue they are good looking
Shen Zigui looked at Shen Youfu and said, "Dad, you also said that today is a happy day, but someone scolded my daughter on this happy day. I feel unhappy. I love my daughter, but in the eyes of others, she is a waste of money. Then we will not stay here. Let's live our own lives."
"father!"
Chunyue looked at Shen Zigui and was very excited. Although her father was usually good to her and her three sisters, she sometimes worried that her father was thinking about his son and didn't care about them that much. Now that she saw her father was willing to say these words, she knew that regardless of whether she had a son or not, her father really loved them. This made her very happy. What daughter doesn't like her parents to love her?
Chuncao also rushed over and hugged Shen Zigui's legs. Chunyun did the same and also rushed over to hug his other thigh. Shen Zigui looked at his three daughters, and then looked at Li who lowered her head slightly and wiped her eyes. He clearly saw that her eyes were red, which made him feel that he had done the right thing.
"Dad, Mom, today's matter has come to this point, let's just do it this way!"
Shen Zigui told his parents that he was not happy at heart. He knew that he had poured cold water on them by saying the word of separation when they were so happy. But things had come to this point. Shen Zigui was not stupid. In fact, he had become somewhat confused these days. Although his parents had agreed to let him separate before the Chinese New Year, they had been more friendly to him in the past few months. They always talked about how good it was for the family to be together, and how badly some of the people who separated from the family lived, hinting that he should not think about separation anymore.
It is impossible for Shen Zigui to have no hesitation in his heart. After all, Shen Ziju has a promising future. If the family does not split up, there will be benefits in the future. Otherwise, why would the first and third wives not want to split up? It was just that his wife and children were always excited about how to live a good life after moving out. This made him suppress his hesitation. Today, the excitement caused by Shen Ziju's success in the imperial examination did make him waver. Especially when someone told him that his brother would become an official in the future, they might be able to enjoy the good life with him, and his daughter could marry into a good family, he was really moved. []
But Sanlang's word "loser" brought Shen Zigui back to reality. He seemed to be back to the day when he first talked about splitting up the family. He kowtowed and begged for the split that day. Wasn't it because the children were wronged? Seeing his parents and siblings go to comfort Yueyue because of her aggrieved look. He felt sad, thinking that his fourth brother should live separately. His adopted daughter could get smiles from the old and young in the family, so why couldn't his biological daughter? As long as he also separated and lived alone, his children would no longer be called losers!
Shen Zigui was thinking in a mess, but finally figured it out. He thought that his parents didn't want him to be separated, not because they loved him too much, but because they didn't want the Shen family to have a bad reputation. But he still had to love his wife and daughter-in-law, so he couldn't not divide this family.
"Zigui, you are a good son. Does this family have to be divided? Our family life will get better and better in the future. Mother wants you to enjoy the happiness with us."
Shen Zhang said. She looked at Shen Zigui with sad eyes. She had thought about it these days. She was reluctant to let this son go. This son was capable. If Ziju became an official in the future, he could help with many things. And he had no son. She would definitely do her best. And Chunyue's three girls were all very good-looking. If she had money in the future and raised them well, they could also marry into a good family. Maybe they would help Ziju.
Shen Zhang also knew that the county officials here relied on their marriages to get to this point. Although she thought Shen Ziju was talented, she also knew that sometimes talent alone was not enough, and one also needed connections and help. Their family had no useful relatives, so they could only think of ways to attract more useful relatives, and marriage was the best way.
Shen Zigui had no idea what Shen Zhang was thinking, but when he heard what Shen Zhang said, he was deeply moved.
Upon hearing this, Li became anxious. She really didn't want to stay in this family any longer. She wanted to live a life like her fourth brother's wife's family. She didn't want to be as wealthy as their family, but just wanted to be the master of her own house!
Shen Zhu also said, "Second brother and sister-in-law, on such a festive day, you shouldn't mention the separation of the family. But since it has been mentioned, you might as well open it up. I'm not talking about you moving out, but the separation of the family that was originally agreed upon, just pretend you never mentioned it!"
Among all the brothers, Shen Zhu likes her second brother and his family the most, except for her youngest brother, because they are capable and quiet. Although her nieces are a little clever, it is also good to be clever. She thinks the same as Shen Zhang.
"father!"
Chunyue became a little anxious when she heard this and quickly pulled Shen Zigui.
Sun rolled her eyes and stood up and said, "Hey! Second brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you making a fuss on such a happy day? Wasn't it my brat who caused the trouble? I asked him to compensate you and apologize! We are all family, but he just said something careless and you took it seriously. How can family members bear grudges against each other? Father, mother and younger sister asked you not to divide the family, so don't do it. If you bring it up again, you will bear grudges against us! Sanlang, come here and compensate us and apologize!"
Sanlang was pulled over by Sun's ear and spoke reluctantly. Then Sun let go of his hand. He quickly stepped back and glared at Chunyue several times.
Shen Ziping didn't understand why his wife said that, but since she was pulling her son's ears to give gifts and apologize to his second brother and his wife, she must have some ideas in her mind, and he had to cooperate, so he hurried to help persuade her.
In fact, Sun's idea was very good. Shen Zigui's family had already bought a piece of land in the east of the village and wanted to build a house next to Shen Zian's family. She thought that the second branch must have money for building the house. As long as they did not split up, she would find a way to get the money. Even if it did not fall into their hands, it could be put into the public domain. Moreover, the second branch was indeed good at work. Without them, they would be much more tired!
Over the past few months, the Shen family has deeply felt the situation of having one less person to do the work after losing Shen Zian, the labor force. If the second family is also missing, the impact will be even more obvious, and they don't want that.
Shen Zigui originally felt quite relieved when listening to the advice of his parents and younger sister, but when he heard the advice of his third brother and his wife, and thought about their character, and how they were not so reluctant when the family was divided, his mind turned. Plus, when Chunyue Li said that they had already bought the land, he realized what was going on.
"Dad, Mom, I have made up my mind. Let's divide the family. When I come back, we will ask the village head and others to write the deed of division. Don't worry, even if the family is divided, I am still your son, and I will not fail to show my filial piety."
Upon hearing this, Li and Chunyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt cold sweats on their backs.
Su Zhi looked at Shen Zigui and thought to herself that this second brother was a man with his own ideas, much better than the eldest brother. She had originally wanted to help him more after they divided the family. Now it seemed that she could let him do more important things in the future. After all, a person with brains was much better than a person with only strength.
Shen Youfu wanted to slam the table, but seeing Shen Zigui looking into his eyes, he didn't slam it in the end. He still remembered the way his son knelt and kowtowed in front of him, clamoring to divide the family. He was so determined at that time, and he didn't change his mind despite the persuasion of his family in the past few months. That meant he was determined to divide the family. Even if he tried to stop him now, he couldn't stop him, and he would have to lose his dignity as a father again. Why bother? Anyway, he already had a son who was a scholar, so if he wanted to leave, just let him go!
"If you want to share, then go ahead!"
Shen Youfu said that Shen Zhang looked at him and said nothing more. She thought that if she separated, it would be difficult for her to manage the affairs of her second son's family, but if she wanted to, she could still manage them. Moreover, maybe tomorrow when the youngest son came back and persuaded the second son, he would change his mind.
"Since we are going to split up, don't wait until my younger brother comes back. Let's split up before he comes back."
Li suddenly spoke, and her words made the whole family look at her.
Li raised her head and said, "My parents don't want us to split up the family because they want us to enjoy the good life together. They also don't want rumors of splitting up the family right after Ziju passed the imperial examination, right? So why not divide up the family while Ziju is away, so that no one can use this to hold him responsible in the future."
In Liang State, students had to take exams step by step, and in this process, as long as one had not yet become an official, his reputation was very important. This reputation also included the reputation of his family. If others said something bad about him and made people think that this person's family was not upright and his character was bad, then he would face some obstacles if he wanted to become an official in the future.
Therefore, scholars at this time attached great importance to reputation and family traditions.
For example, the Shen family had trouble divorcing Su Zhi because she was so ill, and they had to find a reason to make the villagers sympathize with the Shen family because they had a student named Shen Ziju in the family and they had to consider his future. The second branch was so cautious about the division of the family because of Shen Ziju.
Shen Zhu said: "Since the second sister-in-law also knows that this may become a handle, it is better not to divide the family."
Li said, "Little sister, if we don't separate now, I'm afraid there will be a bigger disturbance in the future. If we separate now, no one can blame our third brother. This is the best time."
Chunyue said, "Aunt, we don't want to be called a loser anymore. Let's divide the family. You will still be my aunt, grandpa will still be grandpa, grandma will still be grandma, and we will still be filial to them."
Chuncao also echoed from the side, leaving Shen Zhu unable to say anything.
Shen Youfu slammed the table in anger and said, "Da Lang, go and invite the head of the village and the elders! Divide it now! Good days are coming, but you are thinking about dividing it up. It really makes me angry!"
Dalang sighed and ran out quickly.
Su Zhi looked at all this and thought to herself that the Shen family had separated out another branch. That was good. Only with the separated Shen family members could she really let them participate in her way of making money in the future. Otherwise, she didn't want to get involved with the Shen family any more!
