Shen Yunsheng glanced around and saw that, apart from Qiu Shi's daughter Xiao Zhenzhu, everyone else from the second branch of the family had returned.
The young woman carrying the child on her back is named Min Xiaoqian. She is Qiu's second daughter-in-law. Not long ago, she had a fight with Qiu and took her two sons back to her parents' home. The funniest thing is that her husband, Xiao Hongxu, went to pick her up and stayed at her parents' home.
If it weren't for the old wicked woman wanting to divide the family, the four of them wouldn't have come back!
To be honest, if she were Min Xiaoqian, she wouldn't want to serve Qiu Shi either. Although Qiu Shi's eldest son, Xiao Hongbin, is not married, he has taken over all the resources. Even though Min Shi is from the second wife's family, she still has to earn money to support her brother-in-law's education. Even when she makes a new dress for her child, Qiu Shi points her finger at her and scolds her.
Although Xiao Hongxu did not get involved in the women's disputes, he also had his own thoughts. He resented the old lady for being biased and constantly exploiting him.
When Shen Yunsheng looked away, she had already finished organizing all the information about the second branch of the family. She was afraid that Xiao Jingchuan hadn't heard her and would continue to chatter.
"Oh dear! This is so worrying. My husband's situation is such that even a thousand taels isn't enough to cover his expenses."
In fact, Xiao Jingchuan, who was in the bedroom, had already noticed that the Xiao family had returned. He was able to react on his own without his wife reminding him.
In the courtyard
Shen Yunsheng glanced at everyone and sighed softly. Seeing Shen Yunsheng's worried face, Xiao Wanqing stepped forward, took her hand, and comforted her gently, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, our whole family will think of a solution together."
Granny Yang interrupted Xiao Wanqing coldly: "If you want to find a solution, it's your eldest son's family's own solution. I don't have any money to help you."
Xiao Wenjing looked at his mother in disbelief. The person lying on the hospital bed was her own grandson. How could she bear to watch him die?
“Mother! I… I’ve given you all the money I’ve earned, where am I supposed to find a way to earn more?”
“Wenjing, it’s not that I’m heartless as a mother, but given Jingchuan’s condition, no amount of ginseng will help. We might as well spend the money wisely.”
Granny Yang explained impatiently that she had tricked her eldest son into coming back so that they could divide the family property, and she didn't want any trouble to happen along the way.
The old woman's answer was exactly what Shen Yunsheng expected. She had gone to great lengths to bring her family back in order to kick them out. Her mama's boy father-in-law was really dreaming to expect the old woman to pay him.
"Mother! I beg you, you can't abandon Chuan'er."
Xiao Wenjing knelt excitedly before his mother. Over the years, in order to support his second brother and eldest nephew's education, he hadn't even taken care of his own children. If his mother didn't take care of his family in Jingchuan, his family line would have no one to carry on.
Shen Yunsheng watched the show quietly, secretly hoping that Granny Yang would continue to torment her mama's boy father-in-law.
Xiao Wanqing glared angrily at Granny Yang.
“Grandma, people should have some conscience. Three years ago, if you hadn’t forced my brother to join the army, he wouldn’t have gotten into this mess. Now he’s injured in the line of duty, and you’re rubbing salt into his wounds.”
Granny Yang glared angrily, and just as she was about to speak, her beloved son Xiao Wenkai interrupted her.
“Mother! You can’t abandon Jingchuan. We benefited from Jingchuan joining the army. Now that he’s in trouble, I will do anything to cure him, even if it means selling everything I own.”
Shen Yunsheng sneered. The moment his second uncle appeared, he established a good image of being grateful and repaying kindness. This was simply the pinnacle of green tea.
"Second Uncle, my grandma won't agree. She said before that she wouldn't help us."
Shen Yunsheng looked at Xiao Wenkai with a half-smile. As soon as she finished speaking, her mama's boy father-in-law gave her several glances.
“Jingchuan’s family, don’t talk nonsense. Your grandmother is not the kind of evil person who would leave someone to die.”
Shen Yunsheng was truly exasperated with this mama's boy. His good mother was about to give up on her son, yet he was still speaking well of her. Her husband was really unlucky to have such a father.
"Wenjing, I was pushed to the limit by the Jingchuan family, which is why I said I wouldn't help Jingchuan. I didn't expect her to actually take it seriously."
Granny Yang looked at Shen Yunsheng with a smug expression. After a moment, she added, "Oh dear! The Jingchuan family has really gone mad. They even threatened to separate from us!"
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "You've already driven me to the brink, do you expect me to be your slave?"
Xiao Wanqing casually chimed in, "Sister-in-law, I strongly agree with dividing the family property. All the money I've earned over the years has been taken by Grandma, and I've had enough of it."
Shen Yunsheng looked at Granny Yang with an ambiguous expression: "Alas! I was so frightened by the old lady that I made her divide the family property."
Xiao Wanqing actively cooperated: "Sister-in-law, what did Grandma do to you?"
Shen Yunsheng glanced at Granny Yang before sighing softly, "The day Steward Zhou came to collect the debt, I was almost strangled to death by the old lady. I still feel lingering fear whenever I think about the feeling of being choked."
"You...you're talking nonsense. How could your grandma possibly pinch you?"
Xiao Wenjing glared fiercely at Shen Yunsheng. She felt that Shen Yunsheng's previous obedience and sensibility were all an act. Although his mother favored his second brother's family, she would not be so evil as to murder people.
Shen Yunsheng stared expressionlessly at his father-in-law, who was not only blind and incompetent, but also a rotten piece of wood.
It was truly terrible luck for my mother-in-law to marry him.
Xiao Jingchuan, who was spying from the shadows, was also very disappointed in his father. Not only did his father not help his own people, but he was also determined to protect the old poisonous woman.
Shen Yunsheng looked coldly at Granny Yang: "Old lady, you tell everyone yourself whether I have wronged you or not."
Granny Yang dared not look Shen Yunsheng in the eye. She dared not gamble with her life and fortune; if she lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing that Granny Yang dared not speak, Xiao Wanqing sneered coldly.
"My dear grandmother, weren't you so arrogant just now? Tell everyone, have you ever killed anyone?"
