In the age of rebirth, the female supporting role was cleaned up again

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, a little person, saw. Life is not only about the beautiful scenery.

Fang Youshun gave a general account of what he saw and heard along the way, and made a summary with his daughter and son-in-law with great emotion.

"So, when God gives us the face to allow us to plant and harvest crops, let's plant the land well. At least we can collect some food, so we can have food. Don't eat what we don't have at that time, God will let people If you can’t even plant or harvest crops, that’s the difficulty.”

Shen Jinggui nodded repeatedly.

He couldn't agree more with this matter, but it's a pity that there are always some people who steal, cheat and cheat, otherwise they can grow more land and collect more food.

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

At night, when the two old and the young were lying on the same kang, Shen Yulin kept chattering and asking, and the two elders and Shen Yuxiu took turns answering his questions. At the same time, they also asked about recent events in the village. .

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

According to Shen Yulin, it was the woman who proposed it on her own initiative. There was no dowry, and no big deal. All she needed was a hundred catties of food. As soon as the food arrived, the woman would marry right away.

The children don't know anything, they only know that their sixth uncle is married, but the two old people can hear something tricky from it.

In this rural area, it is generally the year when the autumn harvest is busy, and the woman suddenly mentions marriage at this time. It is such a year, and everyone knows that this should be because the woman's family wants her daughter to marry quickly, so that the family can raise less. At the same time as one person, you can also earn some food for the whole family.

But this is a matter of the Shen family, it is enough for the two old people to know what is going on, but the other matter is not very happy.

That is, during the days when Shen Yuxiu and his grandparents were away, old man Shen's father, stepmother and half brother's family suddenly came to the door.

The Shen family originally had a large population. In addition to the Shen family brothers in this village, Mr. Shen has three other brothers with their families in other villages. Some are close to each other on the river side, and some are far away on the other side Far.

In previous years, when the old men of the Shen family brought their children and grandchildren over during the Chinese New Year, Shen Yuxiu felt that his mind had turned into a mess, and he couldn't tell who was who. Now there was another old man for no reason. Grandpa is a big family, and Shen Yuxiu's little mind is even more immobile.

According to the information Shen Yulin inquired, their grandfather's family was moved here because of the expansion of their hometown lake area upstream last year, and now they live in a place fifty miles east of here.

Although the distance is not too far, because most of the people here are immigrants from other places, even if her grandfather's family started looking for the Shen family when they arrived here, it was not until Shen Laoliu was about to die a few days ago. It was only when they got married that they finally found the Shen family.

But they didn't come here to identify relatives, but to discuss with Mr. Shen about the pension issues of their 80-year-old father and [-]-year-old stepmother.

Shen Yulin talked endlessly about the situation at that time. At first, Mr. Shen was calm and only said that the old man could take turns raising him. Although he and his brothers were not in the same village, they were all in the local area. This matter was easy to handle.As for the question of the stepmother, Mr. Shen said that within a few days after the woman entered the house, he and his brothers were separated. The stepmother hadn't raised their brothers for a day, so naturally it was not their stepchildren's turn to take care of them. Brothers don't care.

But old man Shen's half-brother didn't agree at all when he saw it. There was a daughter who married in the local area. Because the family had a lot of land, they were reluctant to have their land be classified as landlords.

Old man Shen's half-brother meant that now that the family was implicated by old man Shen's daughter, old man Shen would naturally have to make up for it, and giving the little stepmother a pension would be regarded as compensating for the loss of his family being implicated.

At that time, Mr. Shen, who was still calm at the time, suddenly flew into a rage and drove them all away, and warned the family that if he knew the interest, his brothers would support the old man, and if he didn't know the interest, he would not even support the old man up.Sue if you have the ability, then don't blame him for publicizing the dirty things that little stepmother did back then, let's 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 that family, scaring the family away." Shen Yulin talked about the scene at that time, his eyes were full of admiration.

"Later I secretly listened to my father and my mother..." Shen Yulin lowered his voice like a thief, and leaned in front of Shen Yuxiu and Fang Youshun, who were listening with surprised faces, and muttered softly .

It turned out that when old man Shen was young, just a few days after getting married, his father brought back a girl who was about the same age as old man Shen, saying that the girl had escaped from disaster, it was pitiful, and wanted to take her as a concubine.

At that time, Mr. Shen's own mother was still pregnant, and because of this, she was so angry that she killed two people. Later, not only did the girl not become a concubine, but she became the little stepmother of Mr. Shen's brothers.

That little stepmother was very troublesome, and she clamored to separate the family as soon as she got married. She drove out old man Shen and his brothers who didn't have a family. Ten years later, there was a flood suddenly, and it happened that There are a lot of wastelands that no one cultivates, so they encouraged them to immigrate here. Mr. Shen brought a few brothers here, but at that time her eldest daughter was already engaged and had reached the age of marriage, so she hurriedly got married in her hometown and stayed in the village. local.

No one thought that Mr. Shen married his daughter because of the good life of that family at that time, but it turned out like this.

After talking about the eavesdropped news, Shen Yulin let out a long sigh of melancholy: "My father said that because my aunt's family is a landlord, no children from our old Shen family can join the army or become cadres."

To be honest, because of Fang Youshun's relationship, he naturally has a kind of closeness to the army, and he is extremely yearning to be a leader, but unfortunately, because of that aunt, he is dead.

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

It's just that he can't be a soldier or an official, so he will be worried.There are tens of thousands of roads in the world, as long as you can learn knowledge well, what can you do?
However, looking at the behavior of old man Shen's own father and little stepmother's son, that family seems to be a bit of a joke! !

Fortunately, Mr. Shen is a ruthless person, and he would kill people with a machete if he didn't speculate. In this way, the two families will probably not have any involvement in the future, and it will save some trouble.

Shen Yuxiu didn't understand how important it was not to be an official, so she didn't take it too seriously. Seeing that Shen Yulin had nothing new to say, she fell asleep in a daze after listening to it.

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

That is: her mother's belly—it's big again.

Oh my God……

Shen Yuxiu stared at Fang Yan's bulging stomach for a long time, then finally came back to her senses after blinking, and asked Fang Yan: "Mother, is this a man or a woman?"

"Then do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?" Fang Yan looked at her amusedly and asked without answering.

"Hmm..." Shen Yuxiu frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "I want a brother, so let's be a boy."

What's good about brother and sister?
The little third son and one younger brother let her see enough, he cackled and laughed, but he couldn't coax him to cry, it was very annoying.

As for why she wanted a brother and not a sister, that was not made by the eldest sister. One sister like this is enough, and she would go crazy if she had another one, so it's better to be a brother.
