Chapter Seventy-Two: Seeking Justice

With Shen Zaishi's order, Shen Zhixin and Shen Zhilei chopped one with an axe and the other with a hoe, and within a few clicks, the wall of the mezzanine was opened, revealing two oiled paper bags inside, as well as several wooden boxes of different sizes.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Cui's also stopped resisting, his eyes rolled wildly, thinking about how to justify himself.

Shen Zhixin walked over and took out all those things, he first opened the two oiled paper bags, one of them was the two precious fabrics in the Fu family's dowry, and the other was the painting of Yan Liben that disappeared from Shen Zhixin's house.

"Father, look!" Shen Zhixin took the things and showed them to Shen Zaishi.

"Hmmm! See if those boxes are also in your daughter-in-law's dowry. Shen Zaishi said expressionlessly.

Shen Zhixin nodded, and checked the wooden boxes one by one, they were indeed the dowries that the Fu family had not found. In one of the wooden boxes were two ingots of fifty taels of silver, and one ingot of ten taels of gold, all of which were engraved with the marks of the government. At the bottom of the wooden box there was also a stack of silver tickets of different denominations, the highest was one hundred taels, and the lowest was only five taels.

Shen Zhilei frowned and said, "Father, these are obviously not things that our family should have, where did this mother get it?" ”

"These are my mother's private rooms!" Shen Mengzhu said at this time: "Three years ago, before my uncle went to Beijing to take the exam, my mother went to visit my grandmother, my uncle, and my aunt, I saw with my own eyes that my grandmother handed over the wooden box to my mother, and told my mother not to tell anyone!" ”

After Fu Shi came back from his mother's house three years ago, he hid the box of silver and silver tickets in the partition at the head of the bed, and obeyed his mother's orders without telling anyone. It's a pity that it didn't take long for Shen Mengxi to give birth to the next sister and brother, and they went before they had time to explain anything. Mrs. Fu was already in poor health, and when she heard that her daughter died in childbirth, she was too sad to be sick and died half a year later! So no one knew about this money except for Shen Mengzhu, who was only three years old at the time. This wooden box was first discovered by the little Cui family, and was later asked for by the Cui family and hidden along with some other valuable dowries of the Fu family.

Shen Mengxi guessed that this should be her grandmother who felt sorry for her daughter and secretly handed over the private house she had saved to her daughter, but she didn't expect that her daughter would have no life to enjoy, but it was all in Cui's hands.

"Father! Please do justice! Shen Zhixin pouted and knelt in front of Shen Zaishi and said sadly.

Shen Mengzhu pulled his younger brothers and sisters and knelt behind Shen Zhixin, and the three children couldn't help but cry when they thought of their early death mother.

Shen Zhilei and Wu also looked at Shen Zaishi, and the two opened their mouths, not knowing what to say, but they didn't mean to intercede for Cui's.

Shen Menghan had been dozing in Wu's arms before, and was suddenly woken up by Shen Mengxi's crying of the three of them. He looked at Shen Mengxi and the others for some reason, shook his little short legs and motioned for Wu to put himself down, and then walked to Shen Mengxu's side and knelt down. Shen Menghan didn't know what had happened before, in his opinion, their brothers and sisters had to advance and retreat together at any time.

It was also Shen Menghan's move that touched Shen Zaishi and made him determined to punish Cui Shi severely. He can't let his children and grandchildren chill in any way!

"That's it! Get up for me! I know what to expect! After Shen Zaishi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of his and Cui's bedroom, and when he saw the cramped and restless Cui Shi standing in the hall, he said: "Since Mrs. is reluctant to Wang Jin, let's go back to Cui's house with her!" ”
