27: Chapter 17 Division of Family Property

27 -17 Division of Family Property

That was ten thousand yuan, not one thousand yuan or even one hundred yuan. freёnovelkiss.com

When most people could only earn twenty or thirty yuan a month, what did ten thousand yuan mean?

The villagers were abuzz, their gazes toward Shen Mincheng filled with surprise, jealousy, and disdain.

Taking the money earned by one’s own son to subsidize another son, yet neglecting the son who had earned it—was this cruel or foolish?

“Sixth Shen, has a donkey kicked your head?

I’ve never seen any father who humiliates his own son like this.” Because he was the sixth in the familial line,

he was commonly called Shen Six or Sixth Shen by the Shen Family.

“To disgrace your own child for the sake of a woman, Shen Six, you should come to your senses.”

“Even if they are close, another person’s son is still another person’s son.

Your own son, no matter how far away, is better than an outsider.

If it weren’t like this, where would your comfortable life these past years have come from?”

“Using the money earned by your own son to support someone else’s entire family, Shen Six, don’t cause pain to your own kin and glee to your foes.”

Although the words carried mockery, they were not without advice, but to Shen Mincheng’s ears, they sounded quite different.

Although he wasn’t capable, he was a man who cared about face and could not tolerate such mocking and ridicule, his face immediately flushed with anger.

“Enough, this is my family’s internal affair!” He shouted angrily, turning to Li Fangmei and others, “I respect you as relatives, but you shouldn’t gossip about our family’s affairs.”

“And let my niece and her husband suffer in silence?” Li Fangmei retorted quickly.

Shen Mincheng was at a loss for words, wanting to argue but finding nothing to say.

After a long while, he sputtered, “The money my son sent as a token of filial piety is mine to use as I please.”

“Nonsense!” Shen Xiu stepped forward, infuriated, “That money is what Brother sent back for Mom to save for his future wife!”

Being in front of so many people, Shen Xiu was blushing with embarrassment but her gaze was resolute.

Seeing Shen Xiu, Shen Mincheng’s expression faltered, his eyes complex, and after a long pause, he finally said, “Xiuxiu, don’t make trouble!”

“I’m not making trouble with you.” Shen Xiu said, wiping away tears, “All the money Brother sent back is for Mom, it makes no sense for it to be used on Shen Zhu and Shen Xiaobao.”

The entire Wang Zhaodi family lived off the money sent by Brother, and all Dad did was gloss things over, consoling her only with “Once Xiuxiu gets married, Dad will definitely provide a generous dowry for you.”

She knew what her father meant but she didn’t care.

It was her brother’s money, she was his sister, and that dowry was rightfully hers.

What status did Wang Zhaodi have?

Now, the villagers’ eyes on Shen Mincheng were filled with even more scorn.

It was then that Tang Hanfang spoke again, “We don’t mean to force Uncle Shen to return the money.

We just want everyone to understand that it’s not that Shen Chi and our younger sister are unwilling to honor their elders, it’s just that such elders are impossible to honor.”

“We also asked around.

The Shen house was built with the mother-in-law’s hands, and by rights, should be where Shen Chi lives.”

Pausing a moment, Tang Hanfang continued, “But Uncle Shen, let’s not dwell on the past, however, there’s no need to continue putting up with grievances.

If Shen Chi moves out, we won’t pursue the money or the house, and you can’t interfere in the couple’s affairs in the future.

Of course, the expected filial piety won’t be lacking, but it won’t include Wang Zhaodi.”

With these words, the villagers were somewhat surprised, yet soon they grew impressed.

They thought Shen Chi’s wife was really educated, and her family was decent too; previous harsh measures were probably taken in anger.

After all, who wouldn’t be infuriated being ground down by someone like Wang Zhaodi?

“Cheng, tomorrow I will relocate Chi and his wife’s household registration.” Shen Mincheng gritted his teeth in agreement.

“That’s good, and please let the fellow villagers bear witness.” Li Fangmei agreed readily.

“No problem, we heard Sixth Shen’s words ourselves, if anyone double-crosses, we will certainly stand up.” Some enthusiastic villagers responded.

“Thank you all very much.” Li Fangmei shot a look at her son, Lin Xiaoxi took out a pack of cigarettes and began to distribute them among everyone.

“It’s late, and it’s been a trouble for everyone to come out.

This is a small token of appreciation, please don’t reject it.” In Lin Xiaoguai’s memory, Brother Xiaoxi had always been a savvy person.

“Not at all.”

“How could we.”

The villagers responded politely.

Shen Mincheng watched with bitter resentment.

Though it seemed his family had lost nothing today, he was well aware that their reputation was tarnished.

Shen Zhangming and Luo Yufang had remained silent until now, seeing their son in such a state, they also knew that he was not in the mood to entertain them and therefore left without further ado with their granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law.
