Chapter 27 The last wishes of the unfortunate father and daughter in the 60s 6
"If I say no, then no. We don't know when this famine will end. If we spend it all at once, how will we buy food in the future?"
This is simply unreasonable. Doesn't it mean that the family relies on the 300 yuan from Mr. Shen to survive?
The money Shen Mingbao earned from picking wild game should be saved for the first wife's family, right?
Gu Laoliu instantly lost interest in playing. It was a waste of time to continue like this, and they couldn't even divide the family.
Since the normal method doesn't work, let's try something special. He moved his fingertips slightly, and a ray of light invisible to ordinary eyes penetrated into Old Lady Shen's body.
"Don't always think about my money. If you are not satisfied, just get out and live alone."
When these words came out of Old Lady Shen's mouth, not only did she shock herself, but also the whole family.
That's right, what are you talking about? Let's get straight to the point.
Old man Shen hurriedly stopped her, "Old woman, what are you talking about?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? As long as our parents are alive, we will not split up the family. Are you going to make us bear the stigma of being unfilial?"
"Right, mother, we are a good family, why do we need to split up?"
The first and third wives are reluctant to split up, as the first wife feels that the bargain is not enough.
The third wife and the first wife have similar train of thought, but there are still some differences. The third wife wants to take advantage of her brothers, but also wants all the property of the old couple. She has no idea what's going on.
The second wife didn't say anything, they wanted to split the family.
"When a tree grows big, it branches out. When a son grows up, he divides up the family. Isn't this normal? The fourth son always says that I am biased. If you don't like it, just divide it up. I won't count on him to support me in my old age.
If you are still not satisfied with the division of the family, then sever ties with me. I have many sons, so I don’t mind having just one more.”
Old Mrs. Shen said something shocking.
"Old woman?"
"Mom?" Even Shen Lao Er was upset, but his wife was very calm, with excitement in her eyes.
Old Mrs. Shen shook her head anxiously and said, "No, this is not what I meant. I don't want to divide the family. My eldest grandson doesn't have a job yet and hasn't married yet."
But what she said was, "Am I wrong? What an unlucky guy, he's like a debt collector. Whoever gets involved with him will be unlucky. Get out of here now."
They were in the yard at the moment. They had just sent Shen Jianshe back to his room and had not returned to the main room.
The neighbors heard the noise and climbed over the wall to eat the melons. Even if they had no food to eat, they would at least eat the melons.
This time they did not express their opinions, but just watched quietly. They were afraid that if they spoke up it would end the fun again, so they just watched first and discussed it after that.
It’s like watching a movie and having to write a review after watching it.
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't control her mouth. It was as if her brain and mouth were separated. She clearly heard herself say that she wanted to separate.
"Boss, go ask the team leader to come over, we will divide the property today."
No, she doesn't want to split up.
She was about to cry. What was going on?
Thinking about Shen Mingbao's strange luck, could it be her doing?
Old Mrs. Shen looked fiercely at Shen Mingbao who was standing far away. Seeing that he was guilty and dodging, she concluded that he was the one who did it.
How could Shen Mingbao avoid her out of guilt? He just felt uncomfortable with Old Lady Shen's vicious look and wanted to avoid her.
Seeing that his mother really wanted to divide the family business, Boss Shen hurried out of the house.
Chang'an did not participate in the whole process, but watched from a distance, letting her father play freely. It was his job to do the task anyway, so she could just win without doing anything.
In less than three minutes, the captain and Boss Shen came running over panting.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Aunt Shen, are you sure you want to split up the family?"
"Yes, we must split up the family. Not only that, I will also sever ties with the fourth son." Old Lady Shen was very firm in her attitude and would not tolerate any rebuttal.
But tears flowed like a river in his heart, and he cursed Shen Mingbao hundreds of times.
"This... is it too serious? The fourth brother didn't do anything to harm the Shen family."
"They are both so unlucky. I just don't like them. Is that not okay? I have enough sons. Even if I lose him, I still have three. Even if I don't have a son, I still have grandsons. I have enough descendants to fight with."
Very good, having many sons will make you arrogant.
How can a mother say such things in front of her son? Why did she give birth to a child if she didn't like him? Was she born to be an eyesore?
Now that Mr. Shen has a wife and children, you say you don't like him. What were you doing before?
The captain originally wanted to persuade her, but when he heard Mrs. Shen say such outrageous things, he didn't bother to care anymore.
"How do you want to divide it?"
Old Man Shen wanted to come out to stop them, but was horrified to find that he could not make any sound. Not only that, he could not move, and no one noticed him.
The old man and the old lady both had no objection to dividing the family property, and even if the eldest and third Shen didn't want to, they had to divide the family property.
Old Mrs. Shen ran back to her room and took out a box, the wooden box that contained the money. She seemed to have forgotten that she had hidden the money under the bed.
I can only say that Lao Liu controlled her well. He didn't let her know that the money under the bed was gone. It would be her own business when she found out after the family property was divided.
"The family money is divided into four parts, and the fourth son is left with nothing. Anyway, I don't rely on him for my retirement, so he shouldn't think about getting a share of the Shen family's property."
Old Mrs. Shen opened the box and found money of different denominations neatly stacked inside. Now everyone in the team knew that the Shen family was rich.
"Here is 1120 yuan. You three brothers will each have one, and your father and I will have one. Each share is 280 yuan. Your father and I are still able to work, so we won't eat with you. When we get old, you three brothers will take turns to provide for our retirement."
The spectators looked at the piles of money and tears of envy flowed from their mouths.
The largest denomination note now is 10 yuan. The more than yuan are not all whole coins, there are also some loose coins, which can fill up a box when put together.
After Old Lady Shen distributed the money, she continued, "The household items are also divided into four parts. There is only one set of cooking utensils in the kitchen, so we won't divide them. Everyone can take turns using them.
Let's not rush to distribute the things yet. Captain, please help me write two documents, one for the division of the family, and the other for severing ties with the fourth brother."
Gu Laoliu received everyone's sympathetic gazes. Seeing him so calm, the onlookers automatically imagined that they were heartbroken and no longer cared.
They didn't know that the money that belonged to Shen Lao Si had already been taken away by him, and his current goal was to be kicked out of the Shen family.
After waiting for half an hour, the team leader finally wrote the document, which was relatively simple.
It records the division of property and pension issues. The other document is the severance of relations between the Shen family and Mr. Shen.
He wrote this in great detail, which directly cut off the way for Old Mrs. Shen and Old Man Shen to regret their decision.
If they sever the relationship, they will no longer be members of the Shen family, and will no longer have to provide for Shen Jiafu (the old man) and Li Zhaodi (the old lady) in their old age, let alone help the Shen brothers and their children.
Just in case, if the three brothers Shen Yigui, Shen Yixiang, and Shen Yicheng have an accident, the sons of the three brothers will take care of their grandparents in their old age.
Shen Jiafu and Li Zhaodi are not allowed to force Shen Yifan and Shen Siya to provide for their parents in their old age on the grounds of blood relationship. If they are forced, Shen Yifan and Shen Siya can refuse.
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu now look at this group of pale and skinny men with handsome features and clear eyes.
I feel that it was not his fault for reporting a high output in the first place. He was not the only one doing this. He might just be too young and inexperienced.
Because of this document, the 45-year-old captain's image in the father and daughter's minds was changed, and he became a young man who was ignorant of the young people.
The receipts were made in duplicate. The Shen brothers, Old Man Shen, and Old Lady Shen all put their fingerprints on the receipts, and those who could write also signed their names.
