Chapter 215: Father's Request
Shen Tao's parents on the side, as well as Shen Tao's sister, also looked very shocked after hearing the village chief's words.
"And then? Who hit it? How did you solve it in the end? Shen Tao hurriedly asked.
"I can only tell you that there are so many just now, more, I really can't tell you, otherwise, something will happen......"
When the village chief said this, he couldn't help but close his eyes, and he didn't mean to speak again.
Shen Tao saw that the village chief didn't mean to continue, so he rushed directly to his uncle Shen Jun.
"Uncle, you have been staying in the village, you must know about this matter, right? You are my grandfather's son, and even more so, my father's biological brother, so it is reasonable that you should tell me and our family about it. Shen Tao said solemnly.
"Nephew, it's because your dad is my own brother that I can't tell you, and it's also for your own good, you really don't ask, and I won't tell you." Shen Jun couldn't stop shaking his head.
After listening to everyone's words, Shen Tao at this time already understood one thing in his heart, his grandfather definitely has something hidden and strange, otherwise why don't everyone want to say more?
At this time, Shen Tao's father walked up and looked at Shen Jun.
"Brother, where is my father's grave? Let's go to the head office as a family first, shall we? Shen Tao's father spoke.
"This ......"
Uncle Shen Jun sighed: "No...... There are no cemeteries. ”
"What? No cemetery?! ”
Shen Tao and Shen Tao's father, after hearing the words of Uncle Shen Jun, all exclaimed.
"Uncle, grandpa died, don't you even have a cemetery?" Shen Tao asked with a pale face.
When Shen Tao saw his grandmother skinny before, Shen Tao was already angry at why his uncle didn't take good care of his grandmother.
Now it's even worse, grandpa died and didn't even get a cemetery?
"This ...... It's not what you think, it's not that I don't want to get a cemetery, it's because of my old father's bones, we didn't get ......."
Uncle Shen Jun said with a pale face.
"What?"
When Shen Tao and Shen Tao's father heard this, they were shocked again!
"Where are my father's bones? Where is it? Even if my father was really hit by a car and died, there would always be bones, right? Shen Tao's father stepped forward angrily and asked.
However, Shen Tao's uncle was silent and didn't say more.
"Also, why is my grandmother so thin now? How do you support the elderly? If the house is broken like this, you won't repair it for your grandmother, so you won't be afraid that it will collapse that day? ”
Shen Tao also stepped forward and asked the uncle sharply, the anger that was still accumulated in his heart exploded at this moment!
"We ...... We ......"
After hearing Shen Tao's repeated questions, the uncle was speechless.
Aunt Hu Lianhua, when she saw Shen Tao's father and son questioning her husband, she rushed up angrily.
"What are you father and son murderously murdering? Think we're a bully? You haven't cared about the second elder all these years, and now you're embarrassed to say that we haven't supported the old man? Could it be that you have supported it? If you want to say unfilial piety, you are also unfilial! ”
Aunt Hu Lianhua rolled her eyes, and her voice was like a tweeter.
"You guys, can you ...... Don't make any noise! ”
Grandma Shen Tao, who was full of silver threads and had a stiff figure, stepped forward with the support of Zhao Ziling, and said in an old and trembling voice, with a bit of begging in her voice.
Hearing his grandmother's words, Shen Tao's nose suddenly soured, and his heart churned.
At this time, Shen Tao realized that he was wrong, and now is indeed not the time to argue.
For grandma, Shen Tao and his family have just returned, where does grandma want to see conflicts and conflicts in the families of her two sons?
"Grandma, we ...... We don't make any noise. Shen Tao, who suddenly realized, stepped forward to help his grandmother.
"Yes, let's not quarrel, Mom, you go over and sit first, my son bought fish in the town before, I'll get it for you now."
Shen Tao's father also spoke.
"yes, wouldn't that be nice? It's rare to come back, what's the noise? Where do the old people want to see you arguing, spend more effort on the old man, the old man has also suffered over the years. ”
The village chief spoke, and he was relieved to see that everyone's contradictions had stopped.
"Village Chief, I'm sorry for you today." Shen Tao said to the village chief.
Shen Tao has a good impression of this village chief, he can mediate conflicts in a timely manner, and he can distinguish between right and wrong, but he can also be regarded as a good village chief.
"It's okay, it's all from the same village, this is what I, as the village head, should do, since your conflict has subsided, then I'll go back to work first, don't quarrel anymore, just come to me if you have anything." The village chief spoke.
"Okay village chief!" Shen Tao nodded at the village chief.
Immediately afterwards, the village chief left the courtyard with his granddaughter.
After the village chief left, the aunt Hu Lianhua. walked in front of Shen Tao and Shen Tao's father again.
"Don't think that there is a village chief to help you speak, I'm afraid of you, we have been supporting the second elder all these years, and you must give us a sum of alimony!"
Hu Lianhua crossed her waist and said: "For the sake of relatives, don't say that I won't give you time, give you three days to prepare money, and after three days, you must give us a sum of alimony!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Hu Lianhua turned around and waved her hand to Shen Jun: "Let's go, we're going home too." ”
After finishing speaking, Hu Lianhua swaggered towards the door, and Uncle Shen Jun followed behind Hu Lianhua.
Seeing this, Shen Tao couldn't stop shaking his head, he could see that his uncle was a soft egg.
Uncle is a man to do this part, but it is enough to fail, and he is completely dominated by women.
After the aunt Hu Lianhua and the uncle left, there were only four members of Shen Tao's family and Shen Tao's grandmother left in the courtyard.
"Mom, usually at home, do you go to your eldest brother to eat?" Shen Tao's father stepped forward, squatted in front of Shen Tao's grandmother, and asked.
"Except for the New Year's holidays, where do they call me to eat, I cook and eat at home."
Shen Tao's grandmother continued in an old voice: "They usually send some rice over occasionally, and I grow the vegetables myself, a few years ago, when the old man was there, it was fine, but after the old man left, I couldn't grow any vegetables alone, so I could only have a meal without a meal." ”
After a pause, Shen Tao's grandmother continued.
"Fortunately, the village chief is a good person, and occasionally he will send some food over, and as for eating meat, he can eat it during the New Year's holidays, but he usually doesn't have it at all."
After Shen Tao heard his grandmother's words, he felt very uncomfortable.
He didn't expect his grandmother to come over like this all these years, no wonder she is skinny now and her whole person is very weak.
Can you get better if you eat so badly?
Shen Tao's father on the side was more angry than Shen Tao.
"This big brother, it's just too unreasonable, how can this be?" Father Shen said with a pale face.
"Son, don't blame your eldest brother, he can't help it, everything is what his daughter-in-law Hu Lianhua wants, and your eldest brother can only occasionally carry Hu Lianhua on his back and send me something." Shen Tao's grandmother spoke.
"Hu Lianhua, it's this Hu Lianhua again!" Shen's father gritted his teeth angrily.
When Shen Tao heard this, he was even more annoyed in his heart, this aunt was just scathing, and she was still so kind to the old man?
Filial piety comes first, and unfilial piety is a great evil!
"Mom, I bought fish from the town, I'm going to cook fish for you." Father Shen let out a long breath and then spoke.
"Good! I didn't expect to wait until you come back, I'm so hilarious today. Grandma smiled happily.
Immediately afterwards, Shen's father stood up and asked Shen Xuan'er to accompany her grandmother, and then motioned for Shen Tao to go into the kitchen with him.
As for Shen Tao's mother, she had already started to clean up the yard.
So, Shen Tao followed his father into the kitchen.
The light in the kitchen is a little dim, the whole kitchen is very shabby, and the kitchen utensils are even more dilapidated, but the kitchen is only tidy.
After Shen Tao entered the kitchen, his heart was even more uncomfortable, his grandmother actually lived in such an environment every day, and lived for so many years!
After entering the kitchen, Father Shen did not start cooking directly, but turned to look at Shen Tao.
"Son, can Dad ask you for something!"
Father Shen's expression was solemn, and his pupils were a little red, and it could be seen how painful and uncomfortable Father Shen felt at this time!
This is not the most surprising thing for Shen Tao, what surprised Shen Tao the most was that his father actually used the word 'begging' to him!
"Dad, just say what you have, go to the soup and go to the fire, as long as your son can do it!" Shen Tao said in a resolute tone.
