"Alright, it seems the three of them really did plan this out and came to my house together. Fine!"
"Sister Wu, why don't you go help out at the front? We don't need anyone to wait on us here."
"yes."
"These three old men are really shameless. Their daughters-in-law caused trouble, and they still asked their fathers-in-law to step in and help resolve it. They are really no good people."
But even a well-educated and reasonable person wouldn't do such a thing.
"Mom, please don't get angry. I'm not angry about this, so why are you getting angry?"
Besides, I simply didn't want to hear anyone tarnish my reputation like that; otherwise, I wouldn't have done it.
“I know you don’t need to explain, but now that they’re here, this matter is probably not going to be easy to handle.”
After all, no matter what, we still have to give these three old geezers some face.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of rumors will spread, which would be even more detrimental to our Shen family.
“Mom, even if it’s difficult, we still have to do it. This morning, the higher-ups called the child’s father first thing in the morning.”
You mean to say?
"That's right. All three of them have problems to varying degrees. The higher-ups want to take advantage of this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot and deal with all three of them."
"Those people up there are really something, they really know how to find opportunities, they do it every time. If you didn't know better, you'd think there were no capable people up there."
"Since that's the case, let's just wait it out with those three families. Our Shen family can afford to wait."
"That's right, Mom, don't let this upset you. It's only a matter of time before we deal with those families."
Let's eat first, then we'll talk.
"Okay, let's eat first. To be honest, it's getting late, and I'm hungry too."
"What would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you."
"No need, I can do it myself."
"It's nothing, Mom, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment."
"Okay, just give me a bowl of porridge, I'll eat the steamed buns with some pickled vegetables."
"Okay, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
"Okay! No rush, take your time."
"good."
"By the way, Mianmian, remember not to be too hasty in dealing with the Jing family's affairs."
"Mom, I know. To deal with the Jing family, we can only take action when we have sufficient evidence. Otherwise, I won't easily gamble my entire fortune."
"That's good. Although our Shen family is not short of money, we can't let others benefit from it."
"That's right. They can only take the money I have if they have the right to do so. Otherwise, they'll be smashed to pieces before they can get their hands on it."
"That's right."
You know what, that's one of the advantages of having an elder in the family. When you have two elderly relatives, it's more appropriate for them to step in on things like this, especially when dealing with elders who are older than you.
I imagine the Zhang, Wang, and Fang families must have sat down together last night to discuss countermeasures.
After all, even if the matter is not a big deal, there are probably very few families in this alley where the police have to come to their door.
This has not only made us a laughing stock among our neighbors, but the fact that it hasn't been resolved even after half a day has probably made them feel even worse.
Also, early in the morning, not long after dawn, the elders of the three families came to visit. They were probably afraid of being seen by the neighbors, otherwise why would they come over without having eaten breakfast?
If you're afraid of being found out, why didn't you do something earlier? You're already in your fifties or sixties, and you still talk nonsense without any basis. If I hadn't run into you yesterday, would I have had my reputation ruined for no reason?
Even though I'm almost sixty years old, I can't let people be wronged!
Do you really think you're not as good as before just because you haven't appeared in public much these past few years?
Instead of repenting for his mistakes, he even brought in his father when things got out of control.
Do you really think this is child's play, where you can't beat someone and just call your parents?
Don't think that just because your three families have elders you're so great. Doesn't the Shen family have any?
Using your elders to intimidate others? You don't even know if you have the ability to do so.
Since the elders from all three families have come to our house today, and we also have elderly relatives at home, then I'm sorry, I won't go out to see them today. What can I do? Do you really want to be labeled as disrespectful to your elders on this issue? What are you thinking?
There are elderly people in my family, and they are there to keep me company. If you want to bear this reputation for nothing, dream on!
You dare to set a trap for yourselves? Just wait and see. You think you're so great? Well, let's see who's really great.
"You can tidy up the flower beds in the backyard today. You don't need to worry about the front yard. After I finish eating, I'll go and meet them. They've really gone too far."
This is wrong because they don't know who they are. Will carrying the old man out solve the problem?
Do they really think our Shen family is some insignificant nobody? Even though this isn't the old society, some things, once done, must be punished accordingly.
"Mom, have I caused you any trouble?"
“We’re family. We can’t go on without exchanging a few words. Even if you don’t mention your sister-in-law and brother’s wife, you’re never much less important to Mom than Nan Nan.”
"Mom, I know."
"Alright, you just stay put in the backyard! I'm going to go check on things in the front."
"good."
It's not that we can't get out; there's a door at the back of this courtyard, but we don't plan to go out anyway.
Besides, it's obvious that someone is watching from not far from the back door, so I'll just stay here.
It's unlikely that those three old guys in the front would barge into the backyard. If they really dared to barge in, the situation would change completely.
"Xiao Qin, come here for a moment."
"Madam, you wanted to see me?"
"Go to the front yard and keep an eye on things for me. See when those three old people leave. If they do, come and let me know."
"yes."
Actually, the flowers in the flowerbed don't need pruning. After all, whether it's the old lady or the older sister-in-law, they come and tidy them up whenever they have time.
The house is filled with flowers everywhere, all year round, and there are all kinds of flowers.
The old man used to go fishing with his old friends when he had nothing to do, but since he got older, he doesn't go out much anymore. Instead, he started raising birds.
It's not some rare or precious bird; it's just one of the most common kinds.
It doesn't cost much money; it's just for passing the time.
The rest of them either stay home playing with their children or reading books and newspapers.
If you're really bored, you can watch TV. Although there aren't many good programs, you won't feel too bored.
Even if I had time to kill these boring things now, it wouldn't work now.
Fortunately, there was a landline in every room of the house. In addition, nowadays, not everyone has a mobile phone, but almost everyone does.
Since you're not going out, and there's nothing else to do, then arrange for someone else to do it.
It's so convenient now; you can arrange everything without even leaving home.
