Chapter Nine: The Feng Family Who Sells His Granddaughter
At dawn the next day, everyone saw Shen Tong hanging outside the inn.
Feng family, Qian family, Shen Ping and their younger brother Shen Feng, all cried and cried in front of the hanging Shen Tong.
"Have you seen the consequences of disobedience? No matter who you were before, when you reach this point, you should put your tail between your legs and behave like a human being. Those who have different intentions will be the consequences."
"My son!" Mrs. Feng cried, deducting two taels of silver from her clothes, and then asked the official to release Shen Tong.
But looking at Shen Tong who was sulking, Feng really didn't know what to do except cry.
"Ms. sir, you can't abandon us!" Qian cried as she lay on Shen Tong.
Shen Ping sobbed again and again, looking around blankly, and when she saw Shen Ru, she immediately stepped forward and took Shen Ru's hand.
"If you want to save my dad, you must save my dad!"
Shen Ru shook off Shen Ping and said as if it had nothing to do with him: "I'm not a doctor, how can I save people?"
"Besides, the second uncle committed something himself and deserves some punishment."
"Shen Ru, you are so heartless and unjust. My father is your second uncle!"
Shen Ping pointed at Shen Ru's nose and scolded, "You can let your father, mother, siblings and an aunt ride on a carriage. Now that my father is like this, you actually refuse to help. Are you evil?"
"Yes, I have a black heart!"
Shen Ru responded directly, "Whenever there is nothing wrong, you often say something wrong about me behind my back. No, you said it in front of me. Is this an attitude of asking for help?"
"I don't have that ability, you should find another way to do it yourself!"
The officials were already counting people and driving them on their way. In exile, there was no time for people to wash themselves and eat breakfast.
"Aru, I heard some vague noises last night. Did my second brother provoke you?"
Sitting on the cart, Shen Yan asked in a low voice, "Dad is not here to hold you accountable. If he really did something wrong, he won't say anything."
"Master Hou, it's me. Last night, the second master wanted to humiliate me!"
When Lian opened her mouth, she couldn't say much in front of the two children.
"This thief!" Before Shen Yan could say anything, Shen's mother gritted her teeth and yelled angrily.
"Second brother... he deserves it!" Shen Yan paused, looked at Shen Tong who was being carried by the third child, and let out a disdainful sigh.
"Is the second uncle bullying my aunt? Sister, I also want to beat my second uncle to vent my anger on my aunt!" Shen Xuan raised her fist and said angrily.
"It's too late, sister, I have already taught him a lesson."
Shen Ru said, "Father, mother, I feel relieved with these few words from you. I can tell clearly which one is more important between my second uncle and my aunt!"
"Aru, Dad is right about the situation and not the person. Since he has done something wrong, he should be punished!"
Shen Ru likes the feeling that the whole family is on the same front, and she likes to see the miserable situation on Feng's side!
Feng's asthma was severe, and the wind and cold were not suitable for her. She walked fifty miles a day, almost killing half of her life.
The eldest son was seriously injured and could not walk. The second son was almost paralyzed from exhaustion while carrying him on his back. Even with the help of the eldest grandson, the whole family was exhausted.
But why can the big house be so comfortable, and why are the officials so partial?
"Ping'er!" Mrs. Feng breathed heavily and said to her granddaughter, "What do you think Shen Ruzhi did to make all the officials turn to her?"
"I'm afraid it cost a lot of money. I heard that nothing was found during the house raid. A few times before, servants came to deliver things. They must have used money to bribe the officials."
Shen Ping said firmly, "Grandma, if we also have money..."
"It's not his family that was ransacked. Our homes were all ransacked, so how can we have any money?"
Mrs. Feng said angrily, "I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes by marrying into the Shen family!"
"But, grandma paid the official commission before. Grandma, everyone is so sad now. If you had money..."
Shen Ping said cryptically.
"What do you want to do, take my old wife's money?"
Feng's eyebrows were cold, "Ping Yatou, haven't you always been jealous of Shen Ru? Don't you think you can do what she can do? I know she went to see the official boss at night. What can a woman do? ~”
"Mom, why are you talking to Ping'er about this? How can you talk to Ping'er about this!"
Qian understood immediately, but was even more shocked. Did her mother-in-law want her daughter to go to the head of the officialdom?
"What you are doing is to think of ways to make our life better!" Feng said in a hoarse voice, "If each of you can help me get on the carriage, should I let Ping'er go?"
Shen Ping's face turned pale and she looked at Mr. Feng in disbelief.
"Grandma, you...how could you?"
"How can it be possible? Why can't it be done? The Anguo Marquis Mansion is gone. Is there any way out for the Shen family in the future?"
Feng said angrily, "Why didn't I leave in the first place? The old Marquis let his wife go, why didn't I leave? I regret it!"
"Qian, why are you glaring at me? Look at what your man looks like now. Do you have a way? If you have a way, tell me!"
Qian protected Shen Ping and said angrily: "Mom, when I married into the Shen family, my family was confiscated and I was exiled. I accepted it, but I will never sell my daughter!"
"Then you want my old lady to tire herself to death?"
Mrs. Feng looked straight at Mrs. Qian and shouted, "You want me to die, right? You vicious woman, Shen Tong, look at your wife's face, she is cursing me to death!"
Shen Tong was seriously injured, but he didn't dare to say anything even though he heard what his mother said.
"Qian, do you want me to divorce you for contradicting my mother?"
"Heh, heh, Shen Tong, what are you talking about? Mom wants to sell her granddaughter, do you want to sell your daughter too?"
Shen Ping was shocked. She looked at her mother who was quarreling with her grandmother and father over her, covering her face and sobbing.
"Grandma, if I lose my reputation, I might as well die!"
Mr. Feng was really jealous, so jealous that he was about to smoke.
It was obviously the master's family who committed the crime, and they were all involved in the branch family. Why are they so miserable and tired?
The farce of the Feng family was heard by the bystanders, who came to inform Shen Ru's family.
Shen Ru's wind-cold medicine had helped many people before, and seeing that Shen Ru's family was close to the officials, they would want to take advantage of it.
"Miss Shen, that old woman is really not a human being. She is thinking of selling her granddaughter."
"What an old godly woman!" Shen Ru thought it was extremely ridiculous. She just got the preferential treatment with money. Is that so dirty?
