Chapter 97
Just a pair of dark eyes flashing an indelible dim light.
He lowered his head slightly, looked at Chen Li who was crying silently, stretched out his hand and slowly held his wife in his arms.
He didn't say sorry.
Instead, he murmured as if he was swearing, "Xiaoli, I have made you and your children suffer in the past. I will definitely let you live the happiest life for the rest of my life. Please believe me!"
Chen Li wiped away her tears and said with a choked voice, "Brother Yu, I believe you!"
The moon disappeared into the clouds.
Unknown insects chirped, as if their work and rest schedules were reversed from humans.
Because it is close to the Fengquan River, Paoshantun is not as hot at night as it is during the day. In addition, it has already passed the Beginning of Autumn, so such nights are a little cool.
The cool wind seems to soothe people's anxious hearts.
So the night in Kaoshantun seems very quiet.
But the Shen Mancang family is obviously not like this.
In the west room of the kitchen, people from the second and third bedrooms of the Shen family were sitting on the kang and below.
The children all went back to the house to rest, leaving only six adults.
However, Ji Daju and Wu Zhaodi seemed to have scars on their faces, and they looked into each other's eyes with vicious hatred.
It's just that the two of them sat in the corner respectively and didn't speak.
Old Shen looked at his second daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law with hatred.
I used to think they were good, but why did they suddenly become like that smelly mud pond?
For lunch, Chen Li had already cooked the cornmeal porridge, mixed the pickles, and finished feeding the pigs and chickens.
Although I was filled with hatred, I had to admit that when Shen Yu left with his wife and children, the inside and outside of the thatched cottage were clean.
At this moment, Old Shen didn't know how to evaluate Shen Yu.
Is he doing this because he is honest and filial, or because he is just doing it for others to see.
With his brain capacity, he can no longer guess it now.
Anyway, this is not an honest one.
But during this dinner in the evening, even if I felt angry, no matter what, the people who stayed behind were the real family, and they should be harmonious and beautiful.
But who would have thought that the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law would fight together because they had to cook, feed the pigs and chickens, and wash clothes.
The old lady stepped forward to pull her away, but she actually got pushed over.
It was only after Chen Hai and Shen Laosan stepped forward and gave each other a big slap that they were separated.
But this dinner was quite exciting.
I've been angry all day and still can't eat anything that suits my taste at night.
Because the two daughters-in-law are really poor at cooking, and they only take turns cooking twice each. If they can make something good, it will be good once it is cooked.
Therefore, Old Man Shen and Old Mrs. Shen hated their boss, Shen Yu.
Why are you leaving now?
Raising them up like this is really in vain.
According to Mrs. Shen's idea, they should knock on the door at night to make their family have a hard time.
But he was stopped by the sensible girl Bao Yatou.
Old Shen also regretted it afterwards and was very grateful to Bao Yatou. Because this is no longer the past. If he really had a fight with the old lady, he would not be able to take any advantage.
In the past, they could ride on their heads and dominate them, didn't they just rely on Shen Yu's submissiveness?
But it is absolutely impossible to swallow this breath, but there is still one most important thing at hand, that is, their daughter Shen Lanhua will come tomorrow because the wheat is divided.
Once the wheat is distributed and ground into white flour, you can make dumplings, roll out noodles, and steam steamed buns...
Although the daughter and son-in-law live in the city and receive food supplies, their monthly distribution of fine grain is not much.
Especially white noodles.
Not only in cities, but also in the countryside, it is a rarity because wheat production is not high now.
Every year, Shen Lanhua comes and takes away a bag of wheat.
But what about this year?
He looked at Shen Hai and said, "Second brother, tell me, the wheat will be divided tomorrow, how should we divide it?"
Shen Hai smiled coldly, "Haven't the documents for family separation already been agreed upon? Whoever belongs to you belongs to whom."
"Then have you calculated how much we can share?"
"How did I know that I'm not at work? You ask Lao San." Shen Hai kicked the ball to Shen Lao San again angrily.
Shen Laosan rolled his eyes at Shen Hai, "How do I know? I'm not the one who keeps track of work points."
He cursed secretly in his heart, in fact, everyone in the room knew what was going on.
Judging from their normal working conditions, even if they get wheat tomorrow, they will definitely have to spend money to buy it.
But he doesn't care, he has no money anyway.
Mrs. Shen raised her eyelids and looked at the people in the room, "Shen Hai, you don't go to work tomorrow. You stay at home. Your eldest son will come back with his sister-in-law tomorrow. I don't believe it. How dare Shen Yu Take away all the wheat for my sake."
After hearing what Mrs. Shen said, the others felt relieved.
With Mrs. Shen as her own mother, I believe that Shen Yu will not do anything that would deprive her mother of food.
However, Shen Hai was unhappy, "You can come back as soon as you come back. Why does my sister still come with you?"
Mrs. Shen took the kang broom and threw it on Shen Hai, scolding angrily, "Second brother, you heartless thing, you have been living at your sister's house for half a year. Now you can go back to your parents' house." Even if you don't give in, your father and I are not dead yet, so it's not your turn to have the final say in this family."
Shen Hai stood up abruptly, his face full of anger.
He is not a fool, he has calculated very clearly. In the past, because his eldest brother and his family were there to support him, they were the ones doing the work in the fields and earning the food. As long as his share was not lacking, he didn't care.
But it's different now.
They are now separated.
The eldest brother's family has all moved away.
Even if all the wheat can be brought to their house tomorrow, can the food after the autumn harvest still be brought?
How is that possible? Are you kidding me?
Isn't that just plain letting the boss and his family starve to death?
He doesn't care, but others will scold them to death.
That’s all for the wheat, after all, it will be divided tomorrow.
And this won't last long.
It is different from the food after the autumn harvest, which is for the next year.
Therefore, he could no longer count on those grains.
But tomorrow's wheat will be of great use.
He had already promised the director to send him fifty kilograms of white flour.
If the little girl comes, she will definitely have to take away at least fifty pounds, so what is left?
Not to mention that there is no wheat in the world, and it is impossible not to give even a grain of wheat to the eldest brother and his family.
So he felt that it would be foolish to separate the family today and ask the eldest brother to move out immediately.
He looked at his father and mother who were sitting on the kang and said rudely, "The eldest son of mine lives at my sister's house, but the food he eats and drinks is mine. My little sister spends my money. Don't say this." It's at my sister-in-law's house. Even renting a house is more than enough.
