435: Outsiders, Family Members
When Su Zhi heard what Shen Youfu said, her heart tightened. She was not worried that Shen Youfu would urge them to have a baby, which would make Shen Zian unhappy with her. She was very clear about how Shen Zian treated her. She just felt sad. No matter in the past or present life, not having her own biological children was a pain in her heart.
Now Shen Youfu touched Su Zhi's scar, which was still so obvious. It was impossible for Su Zhi not to care.
"Dad, my wife and I have just been married for a short time. We are not in a hurry to have a baby. Please don't worry about this."
Shen Zi'an said to Shen Youfu unhappily that he thought about how his mother gave birth to him late and how she must have had a hard time during those years. His father must have looked down upon his mother many times in the past, and now his father was looking down upon his wife again. Shen Zi'an's anger suddenly flared up.
Shen Youfu looked at Shen Zian and said, "I am your father and you are my son. You are about to be wiped out. How can I just ignore it?"
"I don't need your help!"
Shen Zian stood up angrily and said, "I have separated from my family and have set up my own household. Whether or not I have a baby, and when I will have one, are matters between my husband and me. You, as a father, came to my house and asked my daughter-in-law in front of her why she didn't have a baby, saying that her son, who had only been married for less than three years, was going to be left without a family. How can you be a father? How can you be a father-in-law? My wife and I are living well, and you don't need to worry about us!"
"Why can't I take care of it? I'm your father. Even if you split up the family, he's still my son! Are you really going to sever the father-son relationship with me just for this woman?!"
Shen Youfu also stood up angrily.
Shen Zhang stood up quickly, thinking that this old man was really bad at talking. How could he start to scold her as soon as he opened his mouth? Really, the words he just said would make anyone angry. How could he say that his son would become a family without a family? That was how the second branch was forced out. Did he forget it? ! If it weren't for her embarrassing identity, she should have said these things, and she would definitely not say them like this!
"Old man, don't quarrel with Zi'an. You have such a stubborn temper. Even if you mean well, once you start yelling, people will think you have bad intentions. Zi'an. Zi'an's wife, don't blame your father. He means well, but he just doesn't know how to talk. He is your father, you should know that, don't blame him."
After Shen Zhang finished talking about Shen Youfu, she spoke gently to Shen Zian and his wife.
Sun also said, "That's right. Fourth brother, Dad is worried about you. Even if you split up, you are still his son, and we are still a family. Why can't he ask about you? We are a farmer family, and the women are not so shameless. It's not a big deal for him to ask you why you don't have a child in front of your fourth brother and his wife."
"Fourth brother, don't be upset. Dad means well."
Shen Ziping also said that he was still thinking about having his son adopted by Shen Zian, but he couldn't start a quarrel before he even said anything, what else could he say?
Su Zhi said to Shen Zian, "Zian, please sit down. I'm fine."
Su Zhi was not so fragile that she would feel very upset when someone mentioned this matter. She was just depressed for a while, and then she calmed down. She thought that Shen Youfu and the others came together to talk about this matter, there must be a reason. She only thought of one possibility, that is, the third house was thinking about succession again. She thought of it when Shen Youfu mentioned the word "extinct" just now. At that time, the second house had no son, but people often mentioned the word "extinct" to her.
So when Su Zhi heard these two words, she immediately associated them with inheritance.
Su Zhi thought that if the people in the old house had this idea, they would be wrong!
Su Zhi sneered in her heart, thinking about what Shen Youfu would say and whether it was really as she thought. If so, Shen Zian would be able to drive them out without her saying anything.
Shen Zian saw that Su Zhi's face was no longer sad, but very calm, but he was not relieved. His wife was strong, but she was also good at pretending. Who knew if she was sad in her heart? In short, Shen Zian was not happy about his father saying these words. He thought that he and the people in the old house really conflicted. Once they came, his life would become gloomy.
"Whether we have children or not is our business, so you don't need to worry about it. Dad, you have a lot of grandchildren now, so you can be considered a complete family. Don't worry about me. I am already very satisfied to have a wife to accompany me in this life. If God sends us children, it will be good. If not, it is also our fate. Besides, we have Xiaori and Yueyue, they are just like our own children. In the future, we will have someone to take care of us when we are old, so you don't need to worry about us now."
Shen Zian said that he rarely spoke such a long speech, and this time he was really angry.
Shen Youfu said: "How can that be possible? They are not the blood of our Shen family after all! How can our Shen family's property fall into the hands of outsiders?"
When Xiaori and Yueyue heard this, they both looked at Shen Youfu with frowns on their faces. They were smart, so they naturally understood what Shen Youfu said.
Yueyue said: "Daddy, Mommy, I am not a stranger, I am your baby Yueyue!"
Xiao Ri also said: "I support my father and mother!"
Sanlang laughed at the side and said, "You two little brats, you are here to live your whole life because my fourth uncle's family is living well, right? My fourth uncle's family has so much money, but he still needs you to support them. It's a waste of money, right? You are just two little beggars, outsiders. You will have to leave sooner or later. Don't stay here!"
The two little kids stared at Sanlang, and Yueyue snuggled into Su Zhi's arms.
Su Zhi patted Yueyue and said, "Don't be afraid, Yueyue. Our Yueyue is my mother's baby. She will stay with me all her life and will never leave. She is not a beggar. Don't listen to other people's nonsense! Sanlang, apologize to Xiaori and Yueyue!"
Su Zhi looked at San Lang and thought that this boy was really annoying. He actually said that about Xiao Ri and Yue Yue in front of them. Did he think they were dead? !
Shen Zian also said: "Sanlang, how can you talk like that? Xiaori and Yueyue are my children, so what's mine is theirs! They are little beggars, so what am I? Apologize!"
Sanlang raised his neck and said stubbornly, "I'm right, you brought them here in the first place! They are not your biological children, not even blood relatives! I am your nephew, and you asked me to apologize to them. Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, you have to know who is close and who is far away!"
Su Zhi said in a deep voice: "Of course I know who is far away and who is close. Xiaori and Yueyue are my sons and daughters, and you are just a nephew, and a nephew who is not allowed to step into our Fuyuan. If it weren't for your grandfather's face today, you wouldn't even want to come in! Who do you think is far away and who is close? Apologize to Xiaori and Yuepeng, or leave here immediately, we don't welcome you!"
When Sanlang heard this, he glared and said to Shen Zian, "Fourth Uncle, look at Fourth Auntie!"
Shen Zian's face was also calm, and he said: "What your fourth aunt said is what I want to say. Do you want to apologize or get out now!"
"Sanlang, apologize now!"
Sun helped Sanlang, and they still said these words, so how could they complain?
Sanlang looked at Shen Youfu and the others who were all looking at him. He could only hum and say, "Apologize, what's the big deal! I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those words!"
Sanlang said this, but in his heart he was thinking: They are obviously just little beggars, yet they are still being protected so much, so let them stay here and become our servants in the future, and I will beat them to death!
Sun smiled and said to Shen Zian and the others, "Fourth brother and sister-in-law, look, Sanlang has apologized, don't be angry, we are a family, he is a straightforward person, he has no bad intentions. In this respect, I am like fourth brother, we are all people who speak our mind."
Shen Zian snorted and said, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, then please do as you please. Dad, if you come again in the future, come alone. We can't stand the noise here."
When Shen Zhang and the people from the third house heard this, their faces turned stiff. They were talking about them!
Shen Youfu said, "Are you trying to chase me away? I haven't finished my words yet! Although what Sanlang said just now was unpleasant to hear, it is not wrong. No matter how good Xiaori and Yueyue are, they are not your own children, not even blood relatives. If you want to count on them, you have to count on your own family."
Shen Zian said: "Xiao Ri and Yue Yue are our family!"
Sun said, "Don't worry, fourth brother. It's not wrong for Dad to say that. Look, Xing'er has been taken back by his father. He is now the eldest master! Xiaori and Yueyue look like a golden boy and a jade girl. They may also be the young masters and ladies. Who knows when they will be taken away. Will you still be able to hold on when that happens?"
These words hit Shen Zian and Su Zhi again.
Shen Youfu added, "Now your brothers all have sons and daughters, your sister is living well, your brothers and sisters have gone to the capital, and your future will not be too bad. Now I am worried about you. You have been married for three years and you don't have a child. I am very worried. Your wife is known as the Goddess of Childbirth, but she herself has not had any child. Your life has been too smooth. It seems that there will be a setback. I have thought about it and come up with an idea for you. You should adopt a child. I think Wulang is good. Look at him, he is not much worse than Xiaori."
Everyone in the third room became nervous and stared at Shen Zian and Su Zhi to see their reactions.
Wu Lang had already been warned, and now he looked at Shen Zian and his wife and called out, "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, I will take care of you until the end of your life."
After hearing this, both Shen Zian and Su Zhi looked extremely unhappy. They were still young, and how many times had they been told that they would be taken care of and buried in old age?
"Go away, and don't mention this matter again!"
Shen Zian stood up again, raised his hand and pointed at the door. He thought that it was not worth it for him to care about his reputation as a filial son, but to suffer such humiliation. If he had known this earlier, he would rather bear the reputation of being unfilial than let his father in!
The part about San Lang is useful, not useless, for the sake of the subsequent conflict. Spoiler: Little Baozi will be born soon.
