Chapter 42: The Past 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 saw as a little person, and life was not only about the beautiful scenery.

Fang Youshun talked about what he had seen and heard along the way, and made a summary with his daughter-in-law and son-in-law with great emotion.

"So, when God gives us a face to plant crops and harvest crops, let's plant the land well, collect some food, and we can have something to eat, don't eat what you don't have when the time comes, God still makes people can't even plant crops and can't harvest them, that's the difficulty."

Shen Jinggui nodded again and again when he heard this.

He couldn't agree with this matter, but it's a pity that there are always some people who are cheating and not doing things properly, otherwise they can have more land and more food.

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

At night, the two old and the young were lying on the same kang, Shen Yulin kept chattering and asking, and the two old and Shen Yusleeve took turns answering his words, and at the same time they also asked about the latest things in the village.

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

According to Shen Yulin, it was the woman who took the initiative to mention it, no bride price, and no big deal, as long as 100 catties of grain, as soon as the food arrived, the woman immediately got married.

The children didn't know anything, they only knew that their sixth uncle was married, but the two old people heard from it.

In this rural area, it is generally a busy autumn harvest before getting married, the woman suddenly mentioned marriage at this time, and it is such a year, anyone knows that this should be the woman's family wants their daughter to get married quickly, and the family can raise one less person at the same time, but also earn some food for the whole family to eat.

But this is always the Shen family's business, and the two old men just know what is going on in their hearts, and the other thing is not very happy.

That is, in the days when Shen Yusleeve and his grandfather were away, Old Man Shen's father, stepmother and half-brother in his hometown suddenly came to the door.

The Shen family originally had a large population, in addition to the Shen brothers in this village, the old man Shen also had three brothers with their families in other villages, some close to the river, and some far away on the other side of the river.

In previous years, every time during the Chinese New Year, when the old men of the Shen family came over with their children and grandchildren, Shen Yusleeve felt that his brain had become a mess, and he couldn't tell who was who.

According to Shen Yulin's inquiry, their old grandfather's family was relocated because of the expansion of their hometown lake area upstream last year, and now they live fifty miles east from here.

Although it is not too far apart, because most of the people here are people who have moved from all over the world, even if her grandfather's family has been looking for the Shen family since here, it was not until a few days ago when Shen Lao Liu was about to get married that she finally found the Shen family.

But they didn't come to recognize their relatives, but to discuss with Old Man Shen about the pension of their old man Shen's eighty-year-old father and fifty-year-old stepmother.

Shen Yulin gushed about the scene at that time, at first the old man Shen was calm, only said that the old man could take turns, although he and several brothers were not in the same village, but they were all local, this thing was very easy to do. But about the stepmother's problem, Mr. Shen said that within a few days of the woman entering the door, he and his brothers were separated, and the stepmother didn't raise their brothers for a day, so naturally it was not their turn to support the stepsons, and their brothers didn't care.

But Old Man Shen's half-brother didn't agree when he saw this, and after some time, seeing that Old Man Shen didn't let go, a news broke out, that is, when Old Man Shen immigrated here, he also had a daughter who married in the local area, and the family was reluctant to be divided into landlords because of the large amount of land in the family.

Old man Shen's half-brother means that now that the family is implicated by Old Man Shen's daughter, Old Man Shen naturally has to compensate, and giving the little stepmother to support him should be to compensate for the loss of his family's involvement.

When the old man Shen, who was still calm at that time, heard this, he suddenly drove them all away in a violent rage, and warned the family that if he was interested, his brothers would still support the old man, and if he didn't know the fun, he wouldn't even raise the old man. If you have the ability, go and sue him, don't blame him for publicizing the dirty things that the little stepmother did back then, and see how they still 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 the scene at that time, his eyes were full of worship.

"Later, I secretly listened to my father and my mother talk about ......." Shen Yulin lowered his voice like a thief as he spoke, and approached Shen Yusleeve and Fang Youshun, who were listening with a surprised face, and muttered quietly.

It turned out that when Mr. Shen was young, just a few days after he got married, his father brought back a girl who was about the same age as Mr. Shen, saying that the girl had fled in the past, blamed the pitiful, and wanted to take her as a concubine.

At that time, Old Man Shen's mother was still pregnant, and because of this, she was angry at that time, and later the girl not only did not become a concubine, but directly became the little stepmother of Old Man Shen's brothers.

The little stepmother is very capable of tossing, just got married and made a fuss to split up, stunned to drive out the old man Shen and a few of his brothers who did not have a family, more than ten years later, there was a sudden flood over there, and it happened that there was a lot of wasteland here that no one planted, encouraging immigrants to this side, the old man Shen came here with a few brothers, but at that time her eldest daughter had already married, and she had reached the age of marriage, so she hurriedly became a relative in her hometown and stayed in the local area.

No one expected that Old Man Shen married his daughter because of the good life of that family, but he didn't expect it to become like this.

After talking about the news he overheard, Shen Yulin sighed very melancholy: "My father said that because my aunt's family is a landlord, the children of our old Shen family cannot enter the army and become cadres. ”

To be honest, because of Fang Youshun's relationship, he naturally has a kind of closeness to the troops, and he also yearns for being a leader, but unfortunately, because of that aunt, he has no life.

Fang Youshun looked at Shen Yulin's disappointed face, a little sympathetic and a little funny.

It's just that you can't be a soldier or an official, and you can't worry about him. There are thousands of roads in the world, as long as you can learn knowledge, what can't you do?

However, looking at the behavior of Old Man Shen's father and little stepmother's son, that family seems to be a little bit of a thing!!

Fortunately, Old Man Shen is a ruthless man, and he will cut people with a machete without speculation, so that the two families will not be involved in the future, and they can save some trouble.

Shen Yusleeve didn't understand how big it was to not be an official, so he didn't take this matter too seriously, and seeing that Shen Yulin had nothing new to say, he fell asleep in a daze when he listened to it.

It wasn't until noon the next day that when the family got together again for dinner, Shen Yusleeve finally discovered another big thing.

And that is: her mother's belly — big again.

Oh, my God......

Shen Yusleeve stared at Fang Yan's bulging belly for a long time, and then finally blinked and came back to his senses and asked Fang Yan: "Mother, is this a man or a woman?" ”

"Do you want a brother or a sister?" Fang Yan looked at her funny, and asked a question without answering.

"Well...... Shen Yusleeve twisted his brows and thought for a long time, and said, "I want my brother, so it's a man." ”

What's so good about my brother and sister?

Xiao Sanzi's younger brother made her see enough, coaxed to laugh, coaxed to cry, annoying it.

As for why she wants her brother instead of her sister, it's not that the eldest sister got it, one such sister is enough, and she will go crazy if she has another one, so it's better to be a brother.
