Chapter 42 Wang Sufen wants to split the family?
"Little sister, you are finally back, why did you bring so many things!"
As soon as Shen Anan walked to the door, she ran into Du Yun who was standing at the door holding her daughter. Xiao Menghan was stretching out her hand to try to grab the leaves of the jujube tree at the door.
Shen Anan was a little surprised, and stepped forward to take over the little niece, "Fourth sister-in-law, why are you here, where is my fourth brother?"
"I'm talking to Dad and the others inside. Come in and put your things down." Du Yun said as he took the bag from Shen Anan's hand.
Because she bought a lot of things in town today, including some bulky cotton items, so in addition to the backpack, she also had a lot of things in her hands.
Putting the things in the room first, Shen Anan took two bottles of wine and walked to the main room.
"Dad, look what I brought you! Fourth brother just happened to be home today, so we should have a good drink together as a family!"
"Okay, okay, my daughter is so thoughtful!" Chen Laiyou couldn't stop smiling. He took the wine, opened the bottle cap, and smelled it with some intoxication.
Shen Yuanxing rubbed his hands excitedly, "Dad, pour it out and let me taste it! I can smell it!"
As for men, there are few who don’t like drinking.
"Go away, don't you look down on me? If you want to drink, go buy it yourself!"
Chen Lai said with disgust, but still poured a shallow amount of wine into the bowls that his brothers held out to him.
"It smells so good! But it's a little too little. Dad is too stingy!"
"yes!"
"You bastard! Drinking can't stop you from talking!"
"Okay, come and eat!" Wang Sufen put the last dish on the table and yelled in annoyance, "This old guy is still so unruly at his age."
Today's dishes were particularly sumptuous, especially the dish of braised fish in the middle. The fish meat was smooth and tender. Even the two-year-old Menghan couldn't lift her head while eating the fish soup with rice.
This fish was brought back by Shen Yuanbang. In order to provide welfare to the workers, the textile factory specially organized people to salvage two trucks of fish from a reservoir hundreds of miles away from the town. Each worker in the factory could get two fish to improve their food.
Shen Anan was still a little unsatisfied. She had brought back fish before, but the taste of the ones made at home was average. Today's braised fish was made by Du Yun. She didn't expect her fourth sister-in-law's cooking skills to be so good.
After dinner, the children went to the yard to play, and the adults gathered together to chat. Suddenly, two voices rang out at the same time.
"I have great news to announce."
"I have something to talk to your father about."
Shen Anan looked at Wang Sufen who spoke, they were so in tune with each other!
"Anbao, what's the good news?" Wang Sufen couldn't wait to turn around and look at Shen Anan when she heard her daughter's words.
Although she was a little curious about what her mother wanted to say, Shen Anan still cleared her throat, took out a newspaper from her bag and handed it to Wang Sufen: “Mom, Dad killed a wild boar and reported it to the whole village to share the pork. Don’t you think this is good news!”
"What did you say, report it?" Wang Sufen didn't react at first.
"Yes, Dad reported it to the newspaper! I wrote about Dad killing a wild boar and submitted it to the newspaper. I just received a reply today."
"This... is this true? I, I'm in the newspaper?" Shen Laiyou's face turned red with excitement and he spoke a little haltingly.
"How could it be false? It's all in the newspaper! If you don't believe me, let my second brother take a look!"
Shen Yuanxing took the newspaper, looked at it, and nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, okay! I never thought I'd be in the newspapers in this lifetime. Tomorrow I'll go to your grandfather's grave and talk about it!"
Wang Sufen looked at her old man with some disdain, "You are able to appear in the newspapers only because of our An Bao. You are really too arrogant."
Chen Laiyou just smiled foolishly to himself, ignoring the sour words of his wife, and carefully put the newspaper into his arms.
Shen Anan watched her parents bickering with a smile. She was used to Shen Lai's habit of going to her grandfather's grave whenever he had something to do.
"By the way, Mom, what do you and Dad want to talk about?" Shen Anan remembered what Wang Sufen had just said and asked curiously.
Shen Anan had just asked casually, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, she found that Wang Sufen's expression was a little strange, and the smile on Shen Laiyou's face, who had just been smiling like a flower, also fell.
"Mom, what's going on? Don't scare us!" Shen Yuancheng was a little anxious.
"Yes, mother, if there is anything, let's figure it out together."
Wang Sufen looked at the anxious family and said unhappily, "Nothing happened! I just discussed it with your father. It just so happens that our family has suffered a disaster and needs to rebuild the house, so we might as well divide the family."
"What? We're going to split up now? Why, Mom! Is it because I did something wrong? I will definitely change!" Shen Yuancheng was the first one to get angry.
In the village, all families live together and will separate after all their children have started their own families. Now the fifth, sixth and An An Ke are still not married!
What the hell is he thinking!
Now the family members support each other. If the family is divided, it will affect the marriage of the fifth and sixth children.
"Mom...it's all my fault that I've implicated everyone this time. Why don't you just leave me alone!" Shen Yuanjia stood up suddenly and knelt in the middle of the room.
"Sixth brother, what are you doing! Get up quickly!" Shen Anan was startled and wanted to pull the man up, but failed.
"Dad, Mom, I found out too late about the incident at home this time. It's all my fault. I should have come back more often. Maybe I could have helped!" Shen Yuanbang also reflected on himself.
Wang Sufen looked at her sons who were vying to take the responsibility on themselves, and rubbed her eyes with her hands in satisfaction. She softened her voice for once, "Sixth son, hurry up! Mother knows that you are all filial. This matter has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just your father and I who think it is our own thing."
"We were already short of housing, and we just happened to be rebuilding this time, so your father and I wanted to divide the house up so that each of you can get a piece of land and live in a more spacious place."
"But, the fifth and sixth brothers are still unmarried, and An An..." Shen Yuanxing spoke hesitantly.
Chen Laiyou shook the pipe in his hand and said, "I have discussed with your mother and decided to separate the four of you first. The total amount for your family plus the bonus that the sixth child got from the bureau is 1,226 yuan."
"The money will be divided into two parts. One part will be shared by the four of you brothers, and the other part will be taken by your mother and I. The fifth, sixth and An An will live with us."
"But there is one thing we have to agree on. Even though we are splitting up, you brothers can't be separated. From now on, no matter who has problems, everyone has to lend a hand!"
Each family gets more than 100 yuan, which is enough to build a few mud houses, although it cannot build a brick house.
The reason why there was so much money left at home was because Wang Sufen put the money in a jar and buried it under the bed, so it was not destroyed in the fire.
In addition, the town police station was commended by the province for catching the entire trafficking gang, so the bonus applied for Shen Yuanjia was also particularly generous.
"No! I don't agree!" Shen Yuancheng's face turned dark and he suddenly shouted in a rough voice.
