In the evening, Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhilei, father and son, came back from the county seat, just in time for the evening meal. Shen Zaishi's mood was not very high, and when he entered the door, he didn't greet Shen Mengxi and them lovingly as before, and he also showed compassion for their salutes.

After the evening food was finished, the family sat in the upper room and waited for Shen Zaishi to speak.

"The Cui family doesn't agree with me to divorce my wife, and they don't even accept our money." Shen Zaishi said as he gently shook the teacup in his hand.

Shen Mengxi has no impression of the Cui family at all, and he doesn't know what kind of family it is, but with Shen Zaishi's performance after he came back, Shen Mengxi guessed that the Cui family must not be easy to get along with, and it must have made Shen Zaishi embarrassed.

"And what is the end result?" Shen Zhixin asked.

Shen Zaishi didn't answer, just sipped the tea one by one.

"Alas! The uncle talked about the future of the eldest brother and Mengzhuo, and bit it to death As long as the father dared to write a letter of resignation, their Cui family would dare to make this matter all over the city! Shen Zhilei said angrily.

"Aren't they afraid of ruining the Cui family's reputation?" Wu looked at Shen Zhilei in disbelief.

"There is no one in their family who has hope in the imperial examination now, and they may have made up their minds not to pursue a career in office, so they don't care about their reputation." Shen Zhilei replied.

"Then you can't ignore your own face! The children and grandchildren of their family will not marry wives and daughters, and who else is willing to be in-laws with them if this reputation is broken? Wu shook his head and said.

Shen Zaishi took a sip of tea and said, "I told your uncle that you should let your mother think about it at her mother's house, and you can postpone your retirement for now, and wait for Da Lang to take the Jinshi exam." I didn't plan to divorce your mother, after all, it is not good for you to have a divorced mother! Just give them the letter of resignation to the Cui family, and don't go to the official mansion to file it! I don't remember it in the family tree for the time being! I didn't expect your uncle to say anything and refuse to accept the letter of resignation! ”

"Father didn't say that he wouldn't go to the government to get a file!" Shen Zhixin said.

"No, if you say it, there will be no deterrent effect on them!" Shen Zaishi shook his head.

Shen Zhixin and Shen Zhilei glanced at each other, and then said: "Then it's better to do it first, the thing is too desperate, but it makes them have no scruples." Besides, even if my mother made a big mistake, she also gave birth to us, and it is impossible for us to die of old age and never get along! In this way, my mother thought about it in her mother's house, and we always took the initiative and advanced and retreated! ”

"I think the same way, just ......"

Shen Zhixin looked at his father with an embarrassed look on his face and asked, "What else does my father have to worry about?" ”

"Your mother seems to have received a lot of blows, and has been silent, I glanced back before leaving, and saw that the smile on her face was very cold and weird, I was afraid that she would do something irrational under her resentment!"

The family didn't know what to say when they heard Shen Zaishi's words, there was no basis for such a thing, and no one could say it well, especially Shen Zhixin's brothers were unwilling to use bad ideas to think about their biological mother. The Wu family and Shen Mengxi are the four of them, because of their identity, no matter how they don't want to see the Cui family in their hearts, they can't express their dissatisfaction and complaints about the Cui family!

Shen Mengxi felt that Shen Zaishi's worries were not groundless, Cui's was a person with a small grudge at first glance, and she herself boasted that she was born in a famous family, and marrying into the Shen family was an absolute low marriage. Over the years, she has had a smooth life in the Shen family, almost no one has done anything against her and embarrassed her, and it is strange that she can swallow this breath when she suddenly ends up so much! It's hard for others to say, Cui's must hate Shen Mengxi, the "culprit" who caused her to be driven back to her parents' house. Shen Mengxi felt that she would have to be careful in the future, if the Cui family really wanted to harm her, she really had no way to deal with it, who let this be an ancient society where filial piety was greater than the sky!
