Chapter 42 Past Events of the Shen Family

But when Shen Jinggui and his wife arrived at Fang's house, they realized that what their daughter said was just what she, a little person, saw, and that life was not just about the beautiful scenery.

Fang Youshun gave an overview of what he saw and heard along the way, and made a very emotional conclusion to his daughter and son-in-law.

"So, God has given us the favor to plant crops. When the crops are harvested, let's cultivate the land well. After all, we can harvest some food so that we can have something to eat. Don't let us have nothing to eat by then. God will also let us If you can't even plant or harvest crops, then that's difficult."

Shen Jinggui nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

He couldn't agree more with this matter, but it's a pity that there are always some people who are sneaky and dishonest, otherwise they could plant more land and harvest more food.

After dinner, Shen Jinggui and his wife took the children back. Shen Yulin stayed because he still had a lot to ask.

At night, two old men and two young children were lying on the same kang. Shen Yulin kept chattering and asking questions. The two old men and Shen Yuxiu took turns answering his questions. At the same time, they also asked about the recent events in the village. .

In this way, Shen Yulin knew more about the outside world, and Shen Yuxiu and the two old people also knew that the sixth son of the Shen family was now married.

According to Shen Yulin, it was the woman who took the initiative to ask for it. No betrothal gifts or big lavish arrangements were required, but only a hundred kilograms of grain. As soon as the grain arrived, the woman got married immediately.

The children didn't understand anything. They only knew that their sixth uncle was married, but the two old men could tell something fishy.

In rural areas, it is common to get married after the autumn harvest. The woman suddenly mentioned marriage at this time. It is such an age. Everyone knows that this is probably because the woman’s family wants their daughter to get married quickly so that the family can have less money to support. While feeding one person, you can also earn some food for the whole family.

But this is still the Shen family's business. It's okay for the two old people to know what's going on. But the other thing is not very happy.

That is, during the days when Shen Yuxiu and his grandparents were away, Mr. Shen's biological father, stepmother and half-brother's family suddenly came to visit him.

The Shen family originally had a large population. In addition to the Shen brothers in this village, Mr. Shen also has three brothers with their families in other villages. Some are close to each other on this side of the river, and some are far away on the other side of the river. Far.

Every New Year in previous years, when the old men of the Shen family came over with their children and grandchildren, Shen Yuxiu felt that her mind had turned into a ball of mush, and she couldn't tell who was who. Now there is another old man inexplicably. Grandpa has a big family, and Shen Yuxiu's little brain can't even move.

According to the information Shen Yulin inquired about, his grandfather's family was moved here last year due to the expansion of the lake area in his hometown upstream, and now lives fifty miles east from here.

Although it is not too far apart, because most of the people here are people who have moved from various places, even if her grandfather and his family started looking for the Shen family from here, it was not until Shen Laoliu was about to die a few days ago. It was only when they got married that they finally found the Shen family.

But they came not to recognize their relatives, but to discuss with Mr. Shen the pension issues of their eighty-year-old father and fifty-year-old stepmother.

Shen Yulin talked endlessly about the scene at that time. At first, Mr. Shen was calm and only said that the old man could take turns raising him. Although he and his brothers were not in the same village, they were all in the local area, so this matter was easy to handle. But

As for the stepmother's problem, Mr. Shen said that a few days after the woman came in, he and his brothers were divided into families. The stepmother had not raised their brothers for a day, so naturally it was not their stepchildren's turn to take care of them in old age. How many of their brothers were there?

Just don't care.

But Mr. Shen's half-brother didn't agree with it at all. After wasting some time and seeing that Mr. Shen wouldn't let go, he broke the news that when Mr. Shen immigrated here, he still

One daughter was married locally, and because the family had a lot of land and could not bear to part with it, the family was classified as landlords.

What Mr. Shen's half-brother means is that now that the family is implicated by Mr. Shen's daughter, Mr. Shen will naturally have to compensate, and providing for the stepmother in her old age is regarded as compensating for the losses of his family being implicated.

When Mr. Shen, who had been calm and calm at that time, heard this, he suddenly became furious and drove them all away. He also warned the family that if they knew what they were interested in, his brothers would still support the old man in his old age. If they didn't, he would not even support the old man.

Go ahead and file a lawsuit if you can. Don't blame him for publicizing the dirty things that little stepmother did back then. Let's see how they behave here.

"Grandpa, you don't know. At that time, my grandfather suddenly picked up the machete at home and slashed at the family, scaring the family away." Shen Yulin said about the scene at that time, his eyes full of admiration.

"Later, I secretly listened to my father and my mother..." Shen Yulin said and lowered his voice like a thief. He came closer to Shen Yuxiu and Fang Youshun, who were listening with surprised faces, and murmured in a low voice.

.

It turned out that when Mr. Shen was young, just a few days after getting married, his biological father brought back a girl who was about the same age as Mr. Shen. He said that the girl had escaped from the disaster and was very pitiful, so he wanted to take her as his concubine.

Mr. Shen's own mother was still pregnant at that time, and she was so angry that she killed two people. Later, not only did the girl not become a concubine, but she became the stepmother of Mr. Shen's brothers.

The little stepmother was very troublesome. As soon as she got married, she made a fuss about dividing the family. She drove out Mr. Shen and several of his unmarried brothers. More than ten years later, there was a sudden flood there, and it happened to be here.

There was a lot of wasteland that was uncultivated, and people were encouraged to immigrate here. Mr. Shen brought a few brothers here. But at that time, her eldest daughter had already been engaged and had reached the age of marriage, so she hurriedly got married in her hometown and stayed there.

local.

No one thought that Mr. Shen married his daughter because of the good life of that family, but they never imagined that it would turn out like this.

After talking about the overheard news, Shen Yulin sighed sadly: "My father said that because my aunt's family is a landlord, none of the children of our old Shen family can join the army and become cadres."

To be honest, because of his relationship with Fang Youshun, he was naturally close to the army and yearned to be a leader. But unfortunately, because of that aunt, he did not have that life.

Fang Youshun looked at Shen Yulin's disappointed look, feeling a little sympathetic but also a little amused.

It's just that he can't be a soldier but an official. Look at what worries him. There are thousands of ways in the world. As long as you can learn knowledge well, what can't you do?

However, looking at the behavior of Mr. Shen’s biological father and stepmother’s son, it seems that that family is a bit of a noob!!

Fortunately, Mr. Shen is a ruthless man and will kill people with a machete if he doesn't agree. This way, the two families will probably not get involved in the future and save some trouble.

Shen Yuxiu didn't understand what a big deal it was to not be an official, so he didn't take it too seriously. Seeing that Shen Yulin had nothing new to say, he fell asleep in confusion as he listened.

It wasn't until the family gathered together for dinner again at noon the next day that Shen Yuxiu finally discovered another big thing.

That is: her mother’s belly is getting bigger again.

Oh My God……

Shen Yuxiu stared at Fang Yan's bulging belly for a long time, then finally came back to her senses and asked Fang Yan: "Mom, is this a boy or a girl?"

"Then do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?" Fang Yan looked at her funny and asked the question without answering.

"Well..." Shen Yuxiu frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "I want a brother, so let's choose a man."

Brother, what’s so good about my sister?

The younger brother of the third son was enough for her to watch. He could make him laugh well, but he could not make him cry. It was very annoying.

As for why she wants a brother instead of a sister, it's not because of the eldest sister. One such sister is enough. Another sister will make her go crazy, so it's better to have a brother.
