Chapter 17

Not long after Weng and his son-in-law finished hiding the food, there was a commotion in the Shen family's old courtyard.

The reason is that Shen Yuling said that the eldest daughter of Shen's second family stole Aunt Shen's gold pendant, and wanted to call the police to arrest her, but Mr. Shen refused, so Shen Yuling cried and said that this big family bullied their house, saying that they It's feudal dross, sheltering criminals, she doesn't want to associate with these people, she wants to separate.

In the Shen family's old courtyard, two groups of people stood facing each other. On one side was Shen Laosi's family, and on the other side were all the other members of the Shen family. The people on both sides now had bad expressions and glared at each other.

"Separation?" Mr. Shen looked at Shen Yuling who said these two words, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Laosi: "Old Si, is this your idea?"

"I..." Faced with his father's question, Fourth Shen was a little weak.

"Grandpa, don't think that my father is honest and always bullies my father." Seeing her own father like this, Shen Yuling knew that she couldn't count on him, so she stepped forward and said loudly to Mr. Shen: "I told you, or let the eldest sister Bring my mother's gold pendant, or the family will be separated."

Hearing this, Mr. Shen lowered his head to look at Shen Yuling who was not as tall as his waist, raised his eyebrows and asked quietly: "Girl, your family..., are you in charge now?"

Shen Yuling choked when she heard the words, it was really hard to answer.

Say it's not her who decides, her father is not up to the task, and today's plan to separate the family is afraid that it will be ruined.Let's say she is the one who decides. Who in this village has seen their parents alive, but let a six-year-old child make the decision?

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Mr. Shen raised his eyes and looked at Fourth Shen again: "Fourth, say something."

"I, I..." Fourth Shen muttered and didn't know what to say. Aunt Shen who was standing beside him quietly reached out and pinched him on the back. Fourth Shen felt a pain in his back and said immediately "Father, ask the second brother's child to return the gold pendant to me. Stealing is always bad. If you don't return it, then, the family will be separated. I don't want to live in the same yard as a thief."

"Oh." Mr. Shen seemed to understand his decision, nodded slightly, looked straight into his eyes, and asked: "That is to say, I will let you take it easy, you don't want to talk about it another day, You believe your daughter's words, and agree with your daughter's decision just now, you must find a result between dealing with your second brother's child and separating the family today, don't you?"

"Well, if you do something wrong, you can't learn nothing." Fourth Shen didn't dare to look at his father, but still whispered his thoughts.

"Okay, since you think 'doing something wrong' should teach you a lesson, then I'll listen to you and split up." Mr. Shen said the three words 'doing something wrong' very emphatically, then turned his head and told the youngest Son: "Lao Liu, go and ask our captain to come home, don't forget to ask him to bring a few people to testify to us, let's split up today, thoroughly point."

Hearing this, Shen Laoliu immediately agreed and ran away with big strides, and went to the brigade headquarters to find someone.

After giving orders to Shen Lao Liu, Old Man Shen smiled and said to all the sons and daughters-in-law present: "Come with me, you can separate your family today, thanks to the fourth son, and you will have to thank him well the next day. "

After finishing speaking, Mr. Shen strode towards his own house. It took a while for the sons and daughters-in-law of the old Shen family to realize what the old man meant. Some were shocked, some were happy, and some were uncertain. Of course, there are even more loyal ones.

"Father, it's the fourth child who wants to separate the family. I don't want to separate the family." Shen Lao Wu hurriedly chased after him.

However, Mr. Shen's spitting is a nail, and not everyone can change it.

What's more, he originally planned to separate the family when the youngest son got married. Now, although the sixth son is not yet married, he is also engaged. Although this early separation is somewhat different from his original plan, it is still under control. No big deal.

Shen Yuling didn't know old master Shen's original plan, but was secretly happy that he had achieved his goal now.

It can be considered that the family is going to be separated, and her calculations these days are not in vain. Although the eldest sister of the second uncle's family has been wronged, there is no way to do it.

When the team leader came with a few witnesses, Mr. Shen had asked Grandma Shen to take out all her savings over the years, and counted the money in front of her sons.

When the team leader came with the witnesses, Mr. Shen asked someone to sit down and fill a bowl of water, and just sat down on the edge of the kang like that, and talked about how to divide the family.

"Now I eat in the cafeteria. I have handed in all the food and stuff at home, and there is nothing to share. It's just the money I saved over the years and a few bowls. As for the bowls, you will divide the households according to the population of the family after a while." Go get it. As you saw when I counted it just now, it’s a total of 180 cents. I want to divide the money into six shares. My mother and I won’t take any of it. The boss left home a few years ago. I haven’t done much work for my family these years, and I won’t give it to him. Each of you will get one share of the six shares, and the remaining two will be given to Lao Liu. After all, I have made a home for you, but Lao Liu’s wife Before you get married, the extra share that your sixth younger brother took should be given to him for his family, do you have any objection?" After finishing his speech, Old Man Shen looked around at his sons and daughter-in-law.

"No objection." The brothers and a few sisters-in-law immediately shook their heads.

To be honest, even if Shen Laoliu got an extra share of money, it would be a loss. After all, the money would not buy many things except the dowry, at least it would not be able to buy things for their brothers when they got married.

Although Fourth Aunt Shen was a little dissatisfied with Shen Laoliu taking an extra share, she also knew that she was taking advantage of it, so she didn't say anything.

"Okay, then the money will be divided like this." Seeing that everyone has no objection, Mr. Shen continued: "The next step is the pension issue of me and your mother. Now we are eating in the cafeteria. You don't have to worry about the issue of eating for the time being. Your brothers Five, each family will give me or your mother summer clothes or winter clothes every year. If there is a change in the canteen someday, you should give food or you have to give it every year. As for how much, it will be decided at that time. As for other sick people Regarding the issue of money, I won’t ask you for money, and you can share whatever you spend at that time, do you have any questions?”

As soon as Mr. Shen finished speaking, and before others said anything, Fourth Aunt Shen became anxious: "What about elder brother? Does elder brother not need to take care of the elderly?"

Mr. Shen laughed when he heard the words, and said: "It didn't cost me a penny for the boss to marry a daughter-in-law, and I didn't bring a grain of food when I left home. Now I don't give him anything when the family is separated. In the future, he will If you give me a pension, I will accept it, and if he doesn't want to take care of him, I won't go to him."

"But..." Fourth Aunt Shen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mr. Shen again.

"If you want to have an opinion, you can also take your natal mother into your home, and don't take the money from the current separation, and then take the bride price and various expenses that the fourth child married you, and your food and clothing in this home these years Come on, spit out all the New Year’s gifts for your natal family during the Chinese New Year, and I don’t need you to take care of the elderly.” Mr. Shen’s words were sonorous and forceful, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and Fourth Aunt Shen was so speechless that she couldn’t say a word. come out.
