Chapter 104 Father finally stopped compromising!
"The Lin family's brick house and sixteen acres of fertile land have all been given to you. My father just wants to take me and Xiaoyu back to the Lin surname. Why doesn't Grandpa agree? Or is there something about us that you can't bear to part with?"
Do you still want to exploit them?
no way!
Upon hearing Shen Xiaotang's words, the stall owners were all astonished and began whispering among themselves.
Mr. Shen's face turned red and white in turns, and he was so angry that he almost bit his loose teeth to pieces.
"You...you insolent brat, shut up right now!"
If he hadn't been afraid of being overheard and adding to the criticism, he almost blurted out that he had cursed the girl to death!
Her parents and Xiaoyu were afraid of her grandfather, but Shen Xiaotang wasn't. Before they separated the family, she was afraid that if she was too assertive, her parents would suffer. But things were different now.
We've already separated the family, so why should we be afraid of someone who's disrespectful to elders?
Moreover, her mother was surrounded and interrogated by them, and her father was even beaten. This response showed that she was completely disappointed in them. At this moment, her father even wanted to change his surname back to Lin. What else did she have to be afraid of?
"That's ridiculous. In broad daylight, can't I even speak?"
"Father wants to lead us to change our surname back to Lin and restore the Lin family line. Grandpa, you'd better agree or not. But I advise you to agree as soon as possible. After all, it's not a good reputation to deliberately let your father-in-law's family line die out. You still have to be a teacher. If your reputation is ruined, who will dare to send their children to you?"
Old Mr. Shen's chest heaved as he was about to explode, but when he glanced at the nearby stall owners who were listening intently, he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, saying, "You wretched child, how dare you threaten me?"
Heh, that's what they're threatening!
"Grandpa, I didn't want this to happen either. Isn't it all because of you and my stepmother that I've been forced into this situation?"
“We’ve already separated, yet you still cling to us. Isn’t it just because you think we have a profitable business and want the whole family to work together? But your family has a lot of expenses every year, while the four of us from the eldest branch have never spent a single penny? There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You get all the benefits, while my parents do all the work and suffer all the hardships. When we’re in trouble, you’re nowhere to be seen. But now that the business is doing well, you want us to help out and ask us where we live.”
“When the family property was divided, my father broke two ribs and had to recuperate for several months. Why didn’t you show up even once or visit him?”
Mr. Shen: "..."
Sun: "..."
The elderly couple's faces turned a deep shade of liver, and they were speechless for a moment.
Back then, I was only angry that the eldest son had separated from them and taken away their money. We also lost two of our most capable laborers. We wanted to never see each other again. Why would I want to visit him?
Mrs. Sun retorted, "Well... we were busy, it's not like we deliberately didn't go to see your father. Besides, we've already seen a doctor, so what could possibly be wrong?"
Shen Xiaotang sneered inwardly. Of course nothing was wrong, because it was an act. If it were real, nothing might really be wrong!
The old couple have black hearts. No matter what you say, they won't listen. They are selfish and only care about themselves. You can't reason with them even if you stand here for a year!
"Grandma, that's quite a nice way to put it. So, your whole family has come all at once? Are you not busy?"
"Is it because they heard we've started a business and have lost all interest in studying, and they're just hoping to make a fortune off us?"
Mr. Shen immediately retorted, "Nonsense! We just heard you moved and wanted to see where you live. Your father is still my son, after all; we can't sever our father-son relationship!"
Ah--
That little bit of father-son affection has long been destroyed by your actions!
"Do you even believe what I'm saying? If you really wanted to know where we live, would you be so angry? Even if we didn't tell you, you shouldn't be this upset, right?"
"You...you, can you please shut up?"
If there hadn't been outsiders present, he would have already made his move!
Shen Xiaochuan, who was standing to the side, was so hungry that his stomach was growling. He had long been impatient with the noise. What was the point of all this commotion if he couldn't get the answers he wanted to ask?
So he immediately muttered, "Dad, you and my older brother stop arguing and listen to me."
He turned to look at his elder brother, his eyes gleaming.
“Brother, if you don’t want to tell us where you live, then don’t. The houses in this town are ridiculously expensive, and I doubt your place is very big. If we go there, we probably won’t even have a place to stay. But Da Niu said you’re making braised meat at home. There just happened to be a new braised pig’s trotter sold at a restaurant in town. It’s really delicious. Why don’t you make some for us to take home? How about you take us with you in the future? We’re all brothers, blood is thicker than water. If you have a way to make money, how can you leave us behind, right?”
The elderly couple suddenly felt dizzy and their vision went black; they swayed as if they were about to faint.
This youngest child actually said it so bluntly!
The boss and that shrewish girl had already guessed it, and now it's confirmed!
The second brother immediately covered the youngest brother's mouth, and the third brother immediately pulled the youngest brother to stop him from moving.
Even so, it was too late!
The fourth son had never really agreed with his parents' domineering approach, and now he felt even more ashamed. He sighed, turned around, and headed home.
After making a fuss all day, I'm starving, and I still don't know what I was trying to achieve!
Shen Xiaotang looked coldly at the family and sneered.
"If you had just said it earlier, I would have respected you. But after all this fuss, you still have to reveal your true purpose, don't you?"
“Our business is built on our own hard work, drop by drop. Why should we drag you into it? As the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Over the years, you haven’t helped your elder brother and sister-in-law out at all. How dare you bring up the fact that blood is still connected?”
Shen Xiaochuan was so angry that his face turned green after being mocked by his niece that he immediately broke free from his third brother and pried his second brother's hand away.
"You brat, I'm your uncle, how dare you talk to me like that? We're here today, your older brother has no choice but to go, otherwise we're not leaving, and I'll go home with you!"
Is this shameless?
Shen Qingchuan looked at his father, stepmother, and several younger brothers, his face grim, and felt a chill in his heart.
After a long silence, he said in a muffled voice, "Fine, we'll just stay on the street and not move. If you can hold out, then stay here!"
Shen Xiaotang thought to herself, "Beautiful!"
Dad finally stopped giving in!
So she immediately added, "Just wait it out. There will be more people in town soon. If you're really angry, we can bring up all the old stories and ask everyone to judge them. Oh... by the way, quite a few people from our Osmanthus Village are coming to town. They might be willing to speak up for you."
"Let them evaluate, who's afraid..."
"Snapped--"
Shen Xiaochuan was slapped across the face by his father, and his face stung with pain, leaving him completely stunned.
That brat was so arrogant, why did he get beaten up?
He covered his face, looking utterly incredulous, and asked, "Dad, you hit me?"
Mr. Shen looked gloomy and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm going to hit you!"
How could his story of living off the family's children as a live-in son-in-law be brought into the open for public discussion and spread throughout the streets of Qinghe Town?
