New Edition Chapter 2: Status Strikes Back

It turned out that the old boss was coming to be a guest, no wonder Shen Wu wanted to give a new cotton hat!

Shen Lang retrieved the memories of his predecessor, and suddenly a lot of information from the old boss emerged, this is a legend in Huya City!

The old leader's surname is Jiang Mingwu, who was once one of the tiger's teeth and two walls, the strongest hunter, and even has a stunt of ice and net fishing!

The Kuroshio Lake outside Huya City has an ice-digging fishing activity every winter, and hundreds of big fish can be caught in a 100-meter-long fishing net!

Where to dig the ice and where to put the net under the net, naturally is the key to the key, there are very few people with this ability and experience, Jiang Lao is the most powerful one, and he is elected as the leader every time.

Over time, everyone called Jiang Lao the old leader!

Fifteen years ago, Shen Zhongcheng fled to Huya City with his mother and Shen Lang, and thanks to the help of the old boss, he survived, and later was able to start a family.

Although the old boss has a lot of disciples and grandchildren, he has no children and grandchildren, so Shen Zhongcheng has always treated the old boss as a father-in-law.

Every year, the old man will be brought to live for ten days and a half months, and he will serve with fish and meat.

Shen Wu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and when the old boss came, the whole family had to go outside to greet him, so he gave them new hats and made them wear them brighter.

But there's something wrong with this new hat!

The new cotton hat in Shen Lang's hand is a very common semi-circular ear protector, just like a melon skin hat, but the length and width of the palm hangs down on both sides to keep the ears warm.

The inside and outside of the cotton hat are all blue-gray coarse cloth, which looks very heavy, and the inside is quite swollen when you touch it with a big hand, as if it is stuffed with cotton!

But one thing is very strange, the mass plane of this cotton hat is too light!

According to common sense, the thicker the hat, the heavier it is!

Shen Lang became suspicious almost immediately, and after Shen An left, he immediately got out of bed and found a knife used to peel the skin, turned the hat inside and out, and carefully cut the stitches inside.

Pieces of white stuff flew out of it at once!

What is this?

Thin and lightweight, somewhat similar to sun-dried petals!

Could it be the legendary reed flower?

One should be called the dregs of traditional culture, and the story about child abuse and filial piety surfaced in Shen Lang's mind, like a lightning bolt in a black cloud, instantly lighting up the sky.

He's got a way!

You can't take the initiative to sue and expose Shen Wu's abuse of yourself, because even if you are exposed, it won't have much success, and it's not a big deal for your son who has no sense of existence to be bullied!

The most important thing is to reverse his image in Shen Zhongcheng's heart!

From memory, it can be known that Shen Zhong became a filial person, and when he fled to Huya City, he always honored his grandmother first when he had food, and then their father and son divided the remaining half equally.

On weekdays, Shen Zhongcheng is also very proud of his filial piety and diligent family style, if he grasps this, he will definitely be able to turn things around in one fell swoop and successfully win the victory of the family status counterattack.

By the way, is there a problem with your own cotton clothes?

Shen Lang turned over and jumped out of bed, laboriously opened the old wooden cabinet and found out the cotton clothes from the inside, just by checking it with his hands, he knew that the weight was wrong!

When the inner layer was opened, the yellowed reed flowers were immediately revealed, and the cotton inside was thin and pitiful!

No wonder the predecessor Shen Lang is sick and lifeless every winter, and he can survive wearing this kind of clothes unless he has an iron body!

The predecessor didn't even notice it, he was really stupid!

Shen Lang sighed in his heart and began to anticipate his next step in his mind.

..............................

At this moment, Shen Zhongcheng, who is the head of the family, is happily driving the mule cart in the snow, of course, he would not have expected that there would be a monstrous wave about to set off at home!

Thirty-eight-year-old Shen Zhongcheng was slender and long, with a finger-length beard under his chin, wearing a heavy green cloth robe and a sheepskin jacket wrapped around his upper body.

In addition to Shen Zhongcheng, there was also a bald white-bearded old man sitting on the mule cart, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a knife and an axe, but unlike the old man with a face, the old man's body was quite burly and stout.

Even if his upper body is rickety and his back is not straight because of aging, he who sits behind Shen Zhongcheng is still wider than Shen Zhongcheng in his prime, and you can imagine how majestic he was when he was young.

In addition to the two people sitting on the mule cart, there were also five large urns of wine in the back, two large barrels of rice, two pork fans, three pheasants, two long strings of salted fish, and a large box of fruit and snacks, which were naturally purchased by Shen Zhongcheng in advance.

The old man glanced at the little mule moving fast and steady in front of him, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Ah Cheng, your livestock is not simple!"

It is rare for this little mule to look like a year old, but it can pull such a heavy cart and walk so steadily.

"Godmaster can see it, this is the species of the snake-scale horse at the head of the dart!" Shen Zhongcheng's rough face almost smiled, and he couldn't help but proudly tell the old boss all the things in the past six months, sharing the joy in his heart.

Before the Shangyuan Festival the year before last, Lin Zheng, the young dart head of the Huwei Dart Bureau, was successful in learning and art in the Central Plains, and rode a snake-scale BMW back to Huya City, which caused a wave that caused a sensation throughout the city.

The snake-scaled horse did not look much different from a normal horse, neither in terms of physique nor appearance, except that the horse's legs and abdomen were covered with special skin similar to snake-scales.

But just like the difference between diamond and charcoal, the snake scale horse is another creature altogether, both in strength and speed several times stronger than the world's eyes, and it is a fierce beast above ordinary beasts!

Since this snake-scale horse arrived in Huya City, dozens of high-grade BMWs that were originally famous in the city were sent to the Huwei Dart Bureau.

It's a pity that even those superb BMWs can hardly withstand such fierce beasts as snake-scale horses, and most of them are overwhelmed, even if they are scarred, they get nothing.

Shen Zhongcheng, as a well-known veterinarian in Huya City, served in the Huwei Dart Bureau for more than half a year, and cured many horses with his care and experience.

In the end, three of the more than 40 mares were shot, and they will probably be able to give birth to cubs after the beginning of spring next year.

Just when Shen Zhongcheng was about to leave the dart game and return home, he found out that the donkey he was traveling on gave birth to and gave birth to a donkey and mule!

The cubs born of a cross between a horse and a donkey are mules, of which the one born to a mare is called a horse mule, which has both the horse's high speed and the donkey's weight-bearing endurance, and the one born to a female donkey is called a donkey mule, which is small and not strong, far inferior to a horse mule.

Because he spent most of the year concentrating on serving those precious horses, Shen Zhongcheng didn't know when his female donkey would have cubs.

This donkey and mule was very weak when he was born, but scales the size of small fingernails grew near his four hooves, which made Shen Zhongcheng quickly judge that this was actually the offspring of the snake-scale horse!

At that time, Shen Zhongcheng was shocked, speaking of which, the cost of each breeding of the snake scale horse exceeded one hundred taels of silver, and how many big people in Huya City had lost thousands of taels of silver, who would have thought that a black donkey of his own would be able to win the bid!

The frightened Shen Zhongcheng immediately informed the young dart, but he didn't expect the young dart to laugh and give him the donkey and mule!

Then Shen Zhongcheng, who was overjoyed, did his best to take care of the breeding, and the donkey and mule grew very fast, and its weight-bearing speed was stronger than that of an adult donkey and horse in less than three months.

With such a sturdy livestock at home, it can be much easier to pull goods or farm work, and even double the family income, which naturally makes Shen Zhongcheng very happy.

"Back then, the blind man said that you were difficult when you were young, and you can only be transferred when you are middle-aged, and your children and grandchildren can also be developed; now it seems that the old guy is not talking nonsense, I heard that the second boy has entered the door and started to practice the Tiger Roaring Wind Fist, yes, there is a future!" the old man stroked his beard and smiled.

"It's all my mother-in-law's shallow knowledge, I didn't know how powerful the godfather was back then, I originally wanted the second boy to learn some martial arts with you!" Shen Zhongcheng couldn't help but be a little ashamed.

Although the old leader has accepted a lot of disciples, and now there are hundreds of disciples and grandchildren, but none of them can learn the essence of his martial arts; his second child has been strong and agile since he was a child, and the old leader once hinted at himself five years ago, hoping that the second son of the Shen family can pass on his mantle.

It's a pity that the mother-in-law at home didn't agree, and the eldest brother who also contacted privately took the second son to the Huwei Dart Bureau to learn art, and now he has become the descendant of the Dart Bureau, so it is naturally impossible to learn the martial arts of the old leader.

"The eldest in the family is becoming more and more wooden and stupid, where can I learn the godmaster's stunts, I really can't stand you!" Shen Zhongcheng couldn't help sighing, if the eldest and the third child are as good as the second son, and learn the martial arts of the godmaster, then the Shen family is really glorious.

"It's all fate, I'm also a person who has half a foot in the coffin, and I really don't have the energy to find another closed disciple. The old man couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, his energy has become more and more lacking in the past six months, but none of the more than sixty disciples can break through the limit of ordinary people, which makes him very disappointed.

Originally, he was very optimistic about Shen Qi, the second son of the Shen family, but he didn't expect the Shen Wu clan to act so fast, just now I heard that Shen Qi had really entered and began to cultivate the true martial arts of the Tiger Dart Bureau, so he naturally couldn't help but complain.

Shen Zhongcheng knew that he was in a bad position and hurriedly changed the topic and told some interesting stories about the nobles in the city, which finally eased the atmosphere gradually.

The donkey and mule had excellent endurance and speed, and after half an hour, the Shen family's blue-tiled and red-brick house had already appeared in view.

Shen Zhongcheng deliberately whipped the donkey and mule, making it neigh twice, giving some hints to his family.

It worked well, and when the mule cart arrived at the door, his wife and two sons were already standing respectfully outside the door waiting.

Shen Wu hadn't seen her husband for nearly a year, and was about to step forward to speak with a smile, but Shen Lang next to him stepped out first, only to see his eyes slightly red, and he knelt down with admiration on his face.

"Grandfather, please be worshiped by your grandson, I haven't seen you for a year, your complexion is still the same, and my grandson's heart is overjoyed. Shen Lang trembled and kowtowed to the old man, then stood up and bowed deeply to greet his father.

This should have been a warm scene of relief and joy in the hearts of the elders, but the reaction at the scene was embarrassing!

It seems that Shen Lang is respectfully saluting, but his body is stiff, his limbs are trembling, and his whole person's movements look very strange; this is like accepting congratulations from others, if it is a smile of congratulations, it will naturally make you happy, if the other party grins and smiles to congratulate, you will naturally feel that the other party is cursing you.

This kid is sick!

The old man's face was a little strange, and Shen Zhongcheng's whole face was pulled down, until his wife and three sons came up to greet him at the same time, which made him look better.

Helping the old man out of the car, Shen Zhongcheng opened his mouth and instructed the third son to unload the mule cart and send it to the horse shed for feeding, at this time Shen Lang took the initiative to help untie the rope on the mule's body again.

The third child, Shen An, was already lazy, and seeing that Shen Lang, an idiot, took the initiative to work, he subconsciously stood next to him and was lazy.

But Shen Lang's whole body trembled so badly that he accidentally fell down directly, and the rope in his hand tightened and suddenly the donkey and mule screamed!

Shen Zhongcheng's anger rose violently, and he whipped the horsewhip in his hand on Shen Lang's head, shouting: "Shameful thing, wearing a new cotton coat and a cotton hat, you still look like a frozen ghost to survive!"

The horsewhip was whipped on Shen Lang's cotton hat, only to hear a snort, and the new-looking cotton hat suddenly broke a big gap, and a large white thing flew out!

What is it?
