Chapter 17

Not long after Weng and his son-in-law finished hiding the food, a commotion suddenly broke out in the Shen family home.

The reason was that Shen Yuling said that the eldest daughter of Mr. Shen's family had stolen Fourth Aunt Shen's gold pendant and wanted to call the police to arrest her. Mr. Shen refused, so Shen Yuling cried and said that the whole family was bullying her family and saying that they were like this. They are feudal dregs and harbor criminals. She does not want to join these people and wants to separate the family.

In the old courtyard of the Shen family, two groups of people stood facing each other. On one side were the fourth Shen family and on the other side were all the other members of the Shen family. The people on both sides looked bad now and glared at each other.

"Family separation?" Mr. Shen looked at Shen Yuling who said these two words, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Laosi: "Fourth, is this your idea?"

"I..." Facing his father's question, Shen Laosi felt a little weak.

"Grandpa, don't think that my father is honest, so you always bully my father." When Shen Yuling saw her own father like this, she knew that she couldn't count on him. She quickly stepped forward and said loudly to Mr. Shen: "I said, otherwise let the eldest sister Bring me my mother's gold pendant, or we'll separate the family."

After hearing this, Mr. Shen lowered his head to look at Shen Yuling, who was not even taller than his own waist. He raised his eyebrows and asked quietly: "Girl, your family... are you the one who makes the decision now?"

Shen Yuling choked when he heard this. It was really hard to answer this.

Let's say it's not her who makes the decision. Her father can't do anything. Today's plan to separate the family is probably going to be ruined. Let's say it's her who makes the decision. Who in this village has ever seen a six-year-old child make the decision while his parents are still alive?

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Mr. Shen raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Shen again: "Fourth Mr. Shen, say something."

"I, I..." Shen Laosi murmured, not knowing what to say. Fourth Aunt Shen, who was standing next to him, quietly stretched out her hand and pinched his back hard. Shen Laosi felt a pain in his lower back and immediately said : "Dad, let the children of my second brother's family return the gold pendant to me. It's always bad to steal things. If the things are not returned, then we will separate the families. I don't want to live in the same yard with a thief."

"Oh." Mr. Shen seemed to understand his decision, nodded slightly, looked directly into his eyes, and asked: "In other words, I will let you slow down, if you don't want to talk about this matter another day, If you believe your daughter and agree with your daughter’s decision just now, you must reach a conclusion today between dealing with your second brother’s children and dividing the family, right?”

"Well, if you do something wrong, you can't just learn a lesson from it, right?" Shen Laosi didn't dare to look at his father, but he still whispered his thoughts.

"Okay, since you feel that you should be punished if you do something wrong, then I will listen to you and separate the family." Mr. Shen said the word "wrong thing" with great emphasis, and then turned to tell the youngest Son: "Lao Liu, go and ask our captain to come home. Don't forget to ask him to bring a few people to bear witness to us. Today we are separating our families, completely - completely - completely. point."

After hearing this, Shen Laoliu immediately agreed and ran away to find someone at the brigade headquarters.

After giving instructions to Shen Laoliu, Mr. Shen smiled and said to all the sons and daughters-in-law present: "Come with me. You can separate your family today thanks to the fourth son. You will have to thank him properly someday." "

After saying that, Mr. Shen strode towards his house. It took a while for the sons and daughters-in-law of the old Shen family to realize what the old man meant. Some were shocked, some were happy, and some were unsure. Of course, there are even those who quickly express their loyalty.

"Dad, it's the fourth child who wants to separate the family. I don't want to separate the family." Shen Laowu hurriedly chased after him.

However, Mr. Shen's spitting is like a nail, and not everyone can change it.

What's more, he originally planned to separate the family when his youngest son got married. Now, although the sixth son is not married yet, he is engaged. Although this early separation is somewhat different from his original plan, it is still within control. It's not a big deal.

Shen Yuling didn't know Mr. Shen's original plan, but was secretly happy that he had achieved his goal now.

The family is about to be separated, and her calculations these days are not in vain. Although the eldest cousin of the second uncle's family is a little unjust, there is nothing that can be done. When she is better off in the future, she can just make up for this eldest cousin.

By the time the captain arrived with several witnesses, Mr. Shen had already asked Grandma Shen to take out all her savings over the years and count the money in front of her sons.

When the captain arrived with the witnesses, Mr. Shen asked people to sit down and put a bowl of water on the table. Then he sat down on the edge of the kang and talked about how the family was going to be divided.

"Now we all eat in the canteen. All the food and food at home have been handed in. There is nothing to divide. It's just the money I have saved over the years and a few bowls. The bowls will be divided later. You will divide them according to your family's population. Go and get this money. You saw it when I counted it just now. It’s a total of one hundred and eighty-six yuan and thirty-two cents. I want to divide this money into six parts. Your mother and I won’t take a penny. The boss had earlier I left home. I haven’t done much work for the family in these years, and I haven’t given it to him either. You each have one of these six pieces of money, and the remaining two pieces are given to Lao Liu. After all, I have made a family for you all, Lao Liu. His daughter-in-law has not yet married, so the extra share your sixth brother gets should be used as a gift for him to start a family, do you have any objections?" After Mr. Shen finished speaking, he looked around at his sons and daughters-in-law.

"No objection." The brothers and sisters-in-law immediately shook their heads.

To be honest, Shen Laoliu would still be at a loss even if he took an extra amount of money. After all, excluding the betrothal gift, the money could not buy much, at least not the things that the brothers got when they got married.

Although Fourth Aunt Shen was a little dissatisfied with Shen Laoliu for getting an extra portion, she also understood that she still took advantage of it, so she didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's divide the money like this." Seeing that no one had any objections, Mr. Shen continued: "The next step is the pension issue for your mother and I. We are all eating in the canteen now. You don't have to worry about eating for the time being. You brothers Five, each family should give me or your mother summer clothes or winter clothes every year. If there is a change in the canteen one day, you should still give food every year. As for how much, we will decide at that time. As for other sick people As for the money, I won’t ask you for money. You can share it equally as much as you want. Do you have any questions?”

As soon as Mr. Shen finished speaking, before anyone else said anything, Fourth Aunt Shen became anxious: "What about eldest brother? Doesn't eldest brother need to take care of himself in old age?"

Mr. Shen laughed when he heard this and said: "Back then, it didn't cost me a penny for the boss to get a wife, and I didn't take a grain of food with me when he left home. Now that we are separated, I haven't given him anything. In the future, he will be willing I will take care of him in his old age, and if he doesn't want to take care of him in his old age, I won't go to him."

"But..." Fourth Aunt Shen was about to say something, but Mr. Shen interrupted her again.
