Grandma Cui's family, her mother's family is a side branch of the famous Qinghe Cui family, but it has long been separated, and it has not been much connected with the family! Although the Cui family is only a concubine, with the ancient rule that scholars do not intermarry, being able to marry Shen Zaishi, who was just a poor scholar at the time, can be regarded as a high climb of the Shen family! What's more, the Shen family is still a family that has committed crimes, and all the money is used to buy their lives, they are really poor and white! The Cui family fell in love with Shen Zaishi himself, and he forced himself to marry into the Shen family, and the Cui family and the Shen family were not happy to marry this family. However, after the Cui family married into the Shen family, he and Shen Zaishi could be regarded as raising eyebrows, respecting each other like guests, and successively gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Shen Zaishi, but unfortunately the daughter died of smallpox when she was five years old.

Shen Zhixin, the eldest man of the Shen family, is the eldest son of Shen Zaishi and Cui's family, that is, the father of Shen Mengxi's body.

Shen Zhilei, the second brother of the Shen family, has no talent in reading, so he stays at home to take care of the twenty acres of land that the family has and takes care of his parents. Shen Zhilei married his wife Wu, his parents died early, and he was brought up by his eldest sister-in-law, and his mother's brother and sister-in-law now open a dim sum shop in Zhuxian Town. The couple now have a son, who is five years old this year, the second in the family, named Shen Menghan.

When Shen Zhixin was eighteen years old, he married Fu, the sister of a classmate's friend. Fu's family is also a scholarly family, her father used to teach in a academy in Bianjing City, and later her father died, and the widowed mother took her and her brother back to their hometown Zhuxian Town to live in the ancestral house. After Fu married into the Shen family, he was very unloved by his mother-in-law Cui, and was frustrated by Cui's many times. Just because the Cui family originally wanted their niece to be their eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Zaishi's father and son resolutely refused to marry the Cui family again, and Shen Zhixin was even more rare to disobey his mother's wishes and insisted on marrying Fu's family. Fortunately, Fu's stomach was angry, and she gave birth to her eldest son and grandson, Shen Mengzhuo, in the first year of entering the door, which was considered to be a good establishment in the Shen family, and it also made her life a little better. Three years ago, Fu gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, that is, Shen Mengxi and Shen Mengxu sisters and brothers, but just when the family was happy, Fu suddenly suffered a postpartum blood collapse, and it didn't take long for him to go.

Shen Mengxu's sister and brother had no mother when they were born, and the two little dolls always had to be taken care of, so Cui's forced Shen Zhixin to marry the widowed niece Xiao Cui's during the period of Fu's filial piety.

Xiao Cui and Shen Zhixin were born in the same year, and they have loved this cousin since they were children, and they look forward to one day being able to join hands with him for a lifetime. It's a pity that Shen Zhixin doesn't like Xiao Cui's, and even is very annoyed by Xiao Cui's entanglement, in order to avoid Xiao Cui's, Shen Zhixin's private school in the town refuses to go home. When he reached the marriageable age, Xiao Cui's ran to the Shen family twice in three days, sparing no effort to please his aunt Cui's, and coaxed Cui's to almost recognize her as his eldest daughter-in-law. It's a pity that Shen Zhixin has no intention of Xiao Cui's family, and Shen Zaishi can't look down on the snobbish and hypocritical faces of the Cui family, the head of the family refuses to spit out, and the Cui family can't like Xiao Cui's anymore. Xiao Cui waited until he was 16 years old, and was finally forced by his parents to marry a family surnamed Wang who opened a grocery store in Bianjing City.

Xiao Cui's fate is also not good, less than two years after marrying into the Wang family, the man got a sudden illness and died, and Xiao Cui's heartbroken found that he was pregnant. The Wang family attached great importance to the posthumous child in Xiao Cui's belly at first, but when they saw that Xiao Cui's gave birth to a daughter, they completely changed their faces, and they ignored Xiao Cui's mother and daughter during the confinement, and they couldn't even drink a sip of hot soup. After the Cui family learned about Xiao Cui's situation, they took someone to the door to make a big fuss, and successfully asked for 100 yuan from the Wang family, but it also made the Wang family drive Xiao Cui's mother and daughter out of the door with a letter of resignation.
