Chapter 1493 The road is one zhang high
The main hall of the Shen family's mansion was silent.
Everyone was looking at Zhou, and at the same time they couldn't help but look at Wang again. They were shocked by what Zhou said and couldn't help feeling pitiful for Wang.
Except for the five bedrooms of the Shen family, the other couples never thought about competing for the old house and ancestral house of the Shen family. Because they were neither the eldest son nor the grandson of the eldest son nor the ones they paid for it, it was unreasonable to argue, so they simply gave up getting involved and handed over the dispute to the big house and the five bedrooms.
Before, for the funeral of Li, the Shen family felt that the fifth house suffered a great loss because the big house was destined to cheat, and the big house was indeed not rich. After the funeral of Li, many people realized that the fifth house and the big house would inevitably argue about the expenses of the funeral, but they never expected that the fifth house would set up a big house together, not using their own money, but borrowing money to perform the funeral.
When Wang heard this, she was stunned. She had no idea how to take over the conversation, so she could only ask for help from her husband.
Shen Mingwen said sternly: "Young elder, what's wrong with your wife? Mom is in the funeral, you have money but don't pay the money, so you have to borrow money from outside. Is this going to humiliate the Shen family's mei?"
Shen Mingjun didn't expect that he would be scolded by his brother. He didn't know how to say anything at all. In this case, his dark face turned red and he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Zhou said in time to relieve the situation:
"Don't you feel that it's a disadvantage for the uncle to say this... Our fifth family should pay the money, but that's the matter after the separation of the family. We will pay our own share. But now we have not split the family. All the accounts are under the control of my sister-in-law. Is it a bit too much for us to pay the money?"
Shen Mingwen stood up suddenly, regardless of whether he was a man, and asked his sister-in-law angrily: "Young wife, what do you mean?"
Zhou took the initiative and stood up without giving in. He put his hips on his hips: "We have no money for five families, that's what... How do you ask us to pay if we don't have money? Could it be that my mother keeps stopping her mind?"
"Before, the autumn tiger was raging, and the weather was hot. We put my mother's body in the lobby for so long. Do you know why people outside criticized us? It was said that it embarrassed the Shen family. Could it be that my mother was not allowed to be buried in the soil? Is it because you, a scholar, filial piety?"
When Zhou said the words, everyone felt it was reasonable, but at the same time, it felt that this was completely different from the Zhou style before. At that time, Zhou argued with people, and was completely a shrew, just like the Wang family's virtue today. But suddenly, Zhou seemed to have transformed and even spoke clearly.
Shen Mingwen stood there angry, and with his brain that was so hard that he could not think of any reason to refute Zhou's family, because as Zhou said, if the fifth family had no money, they would go out to borrow money to come back to celebrate the funeral of Li in the name of the family, which is also a manifestation of filial piety.
Seeing her husband being angry, Wang looked angry: "Little boy, what do you mean? How could your son be an official outside, so how could he have no money?"
Zhou said angrily: "My son is an official in the court, but he either takes care of the salary he receives himself or gives it to my daughter-in-law. I, a mother-in-law, didn't say that I had to be the leader of the family... Do you have the ability to ask my son for it?"
Shen Xi is a second-rank official in the court, and even the head of the Wang family is not qualified to reach into Shen Xi's pocket.
How could Shen Mingwen and his wife not be angry when they heard this?
Although Chen Xi did not come, his wife Xie Yuner was present. Wang looked at her nephew's wife angrily and shouted: "The youngest son is his wife. Now the Shen family is in funeral, his grandmother has pulled him up with one hand. Can't he pay the money?"
Xie Yuner was unmoved, nodded slightly, and replied: "The family has always been the head of the master. Now the master is leading the army, and all the salary is recorded on the court's books. I have no right to deal with it. Besides... I really have no money at hand, please forgive me..."
Wang was furious, but she wanted to put her force into force, so she swung her fist and rushed towards Xie Yuner... This is her usual style of behavior. She first reasoned, then slandered, and if she doesn't work, she will do it directly. There is always a suitable one. Now she is not as reasonable as Xie Yuner, who was born in a scholarly family, and when she is furious, she uses the most direct way to fight.
Unfortunately, before she rushed to Xie Yuner, her eyes suddenly turned black, and a big guy stood in front of her. She bumped into her head, feeling like she hit the iron plate.
At the first moment, Wang did not fall. She calmly glanced at her, then took two steps back, stretched out her arms, first bent her knees and knelt on the ground, then slowly fell down, holding her hands on the ground, and shouted as if she was acting:
"Oh, I'm going to die. The fifth house of the Shen family is unreasonable and hit someone. My leg must have been broken. The fifth house is killed by heaven. This is to rebel..."
Shen Mingwen rushed up and asked, "Who hurt my inner friend?"
At this time, the silly Zhu Shan, the silly man, was stunned when he saw this situation. She had never seen someone as shameless as Wang. She simply subverted her views. She witnessed the entire process of Wang's fake fall in a daze. She was very unfair. She said to Xie Yuner with a bitter face:
"Madam, I...I didn't do anything. She obviously bumped into it by herself..."
Xie Yuner glanced at Wang who was lying on the ground and shook her head with a sneer: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you!"
Wang said angrily: "Good you little daughter-in-law, you poisonous woman, not only instigated your mother-in-law to fight against our big room, but now she is still openly beating people. If you believe it or not, I will call you back..."
As she said that, Wang was about to get up from the ground, but she suddenly thought that she was pretending to be injured and could not move forward or retreat for a while.
Shen Yongzhuo and his wife had a headache. They knew their mother's nature. They didn't want to help Shen Mingwen and his wife stand up for this problem, but the elders were making trouble there, and it was not appropriate for them to stand up and speak. They felt very awkward and uncomfortable.
Zhou curled his lips: "I sat on the ground and insisted on saying that someone else pushed me. There are so many people present, can you find a witness?"
Wang said: "Young wife, what do you mean? There are so many eyes present, who can see you? Saburo, Saburo his wife... You saw their five-person beating people..."
The person who was questioned quickly retreated. No one was willing to stand up for Wang in this occasion. In the end, Wang could only look at his son and daughter-in-law helplessly and shouted:
"Da Lang, and his wife, have you seen it? It's the people around this pair of poisonous women... who were whispered by them and pushed your mother to the ground and broke her legs...uh?"
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Shan took two steps forward to "lift" Wang's family. The Wang family was confused and felt that their bodies were lighter, and then they stood firm on the ground. She was about to say something, but Zhu Shan smiled and said, "Forgive you, you bumped into it yourself, and your legs were not broken. It's okay, hehe, I'll go back first..."
Wang was standing there, and she was stunned. Then she looked back at Shen Mingwen, and suddenly thought of something. Her feet softened, and she slowly knelt on the ground like slow motion, then lay down and cried unyieldingly: "Stop me again, and hit me, Dalang, have you seen it?"
Such shameless behavior, let alone the Shen family present, even Wang's biological son couldn't stand it anymore. He hurried over and reached out to support him, but Wang shook his hand away. Shen Yongzhuo said bitterly: "Mom, don't do this. Let's sit down and talk about something now. Since Uncle Wu and the others have no money, we will sell the mansion to pay off the debt. Didn't we decide to do this before?"
Wang was so angry that he reached out to Shen Yongzhuo's forehead and cursed: "You have no conscience, who is your mother? Are you talking for outsiders?"
Shen Yongzhuo was so painful that tears were almost shedding. He hated that he was born in such a family, where the couple could live in harmony, but he was simply incompatible with his father and mother. He hoped that he could be born in a true scholarly family. Even if his life was a little harder, he would not be so angry with his father and mother all day long as he is now.
...
...
Wang was fussing hard, and seeing that the deadlock could not be broken, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Can the old lady of the Shen family be there?"
Wang turned his head. Although she didn't know who the visitor was, she also thought that it might be related to the gentry in the county who was invited by Zhou to judge.
Shen Yongqi brought several guards from the Governor's Office who accompanied him to welcome the guests outside. At this time, the guests had been brought into the yard. Good guys, more than a dozen gentry came at once, all of whom were the leading figures in Ninghua County. These people were wealthy and belonged to the powerful class in Ninghua. Half of them were from Juren, and in this era they could basically dominate the public opinion trend among the people.
These people came up and called "Old Lady". Wang sat on the ground and shouted, "The old lady of the Shen family has been funeral, don't you know? I am the well-deserved wife of the Shen family now!"
When the gentry came in, they were about to salute to Wang who was sitting on the ground. Suddenly they found something was wrong. This was not the "old lady of the Shen family" at all. The real old lady of the Shen family was still standing next to him. The gentry seemed to have not seen Wang and saluted directly at Shen Mingjun and Zhou couple.
"Aren't this the master of the Shen family and the old lady? I'm backing from a long journey... It's really heartbreaking to see the death of the grandmother. Please forgive me for the change!"
The gentry seemed to empathize with it, and as soon as they came over, they comforted Shen Mingjun and his wife.
Zhou wiped his tears in a fake way: "You are really interested... I invite everyone here today to be a witness, please..."
