Shen Mingjun and his wife did not arrive in Ninghua County until mid-August, and immediately arrived at the Shen family after entering the city.

At this time, the Shen family's door was in decline, and the stone lions on both sides of the door disappeared. The red paint paint that Chen Xi painted when he visited the marriage in the door was already falling, and even the copper rings that knocked on the door were gone.

Zhou looked up at the shaking door lintel, turned around in surprise and asked, "Mr., is this our family?"

Shen Mingjun also took a few good looks before nodding affirmatively: "Yes, this is our Shen family... Isn't this the house that Xiaolang bought at the time? Later, the Shen family moved back to the county town from Taohua Village and purchased the properties of several surrounding families, which made up the current pattern."

"I was involved in the expansion at the beginning and was very familiar with every brick and tile here, so I would not make any mistakes!"

The family was riding in a vast carriage, with twelve carriages transporting goods alone, some of which were carried supplies from the capital to the south, and the "local specialties" delivered by the prefectures and counties along the way from Jiujiang Prefecture. In addition, the carriages carried by the family members of the Shenxi, brothers of the carriages and escorted officers and soldiers, spread for half a mile. It seemed that Shen Mingjun and his wife truly represented the Shen family.

The Shen family courtyard hasn't been so lively for a long time. The neighbors on the street come out to watch the fun. When they find out that it is the top scholar Chen Xi's parents come back, let alone the neighbors, the entire Ninghua County town is sensational.

"Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen are back!"

I don’t know when people from Ninghua County mentioned the master and wife of the Shen family again, and they must be talking about Shen Mingjun and his wife.

There is nothing to argue about who trained Chenxi to become a talent. Who made great contributions? That must be the top scholar's parents who are capable, not grandmothers!

Even though the Shen family was indeed the head of the Li family at that time and the villagers also recognized it, over time, others would like to praise it, but what they said was that Shen Mingjun and his wife cultivated Chenxi well and cultivated a Wenqu star. They are now even more proud of the second-rank official of the court, the entire Tingzhou Prefecture and even Fujian Province.

Because Chen Xi rose rapidly in the court, Shen Mingjun and his wife returned to Ninghua County and enjoyed this glory. All the villagers came to watch the fun and wanted to know what Chen Xi's concubine looked like in the daughter of the court house of the dynasty? See how generous and polite Chen Xi's wife is?

I also want to see how big the Shen family is now!

As for the Shen family, who was usually poor and even had to borrow money from others, they had long been classified as another family, as if there was no connection between the two Shen families.

The news of Shen Mingjun's family coming back was that the neighbors on the street received news faster than the Shen family. When Shen Yongzhuo and his wife came out to greet the Shen family on behalf of the Shen family, Shen Mingjun really thought that he had walked into the wrong door. None of his brothers appeared, and even his sister-in-law saw each other, but he was greeting him by a junior.

After a little greeting, Zhou asked about the reason and realized that the Shen family's real family business had become Shen Yongzhuo and his wife.

The second generation of the Shen family, namely Shen Mingwen and Shen Mingjun, have completely withered... Shen Mingwen is ignorant and squandered, and Shen Mingtang is mediocre and useless. As for Shen Mingxin, he is capable, but in order to live his own life, he has been given a single order and no longer has contact with other rooms in the Shen family.

Even though Li was seriously ill, Shen Mingxin and his wife only came to see each other occasionally and sent some gifts, but they ignored the specific matters.

Shen Mingxin and his wife knew that if they were involved in the Shen family, they would definitely be dragged down. They lived a good life. If they integrated their family business into the big family, the family would not be a home.

When Shen Mingjun saw his eldest nephew, who was also the eldest grandson of the Shen family, his voice was a little choked: "Dalang, hurry up... take us in and see your grandmother..."

Shen Mingjun and his wife came into the Shen family with their daughter, youngest son, several daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

When he arrived at the front yard, he suddenly felt desolate and desolate. Zhou couldn't help but murmur: "This family is very different from when we left. Why is it much decayed and worn out?"

Shen Yongzhuo's wife, Lu, looked at her aunt Zhou, and replied with a respectful attitude: "Fifth Mother, after you leave, no one can support you at home. In addition, the fourth uncle's family moved out of the yard, and only father-in-law and third uncle were taken care of in this family, so naturally it was worse than before..."

One sentence points to the point.

Before Shen Xi rose to the rise of ZTE, the Shen family relied on the fourth house Shen Mingxin and the fifth house Shen Mingjun as the main force in making money at home.

After the Shen family split up, Shen Mingxin and Shen Mingjun were not there. Shen Mingwen could still live on four taels of glutinous rice dumplings every year. However, as Shen Mingwen was not doing his job properly, even the four taels of silver were gone. In addition to charging some land rent, the family's expenses were entirely supported by the three-bedroom Shen Mingtang and juniors such as Shen Yongzhuo. The family's background was naturally not as good as the glory of the heyday at that time.

At this moment, the Shen family was tightening their belts, and even the food on Li's side dropped a lot. In the past, Li could still seek medical treatment when lying on the hospital bed, but now they just eat porridge and side dishes every day to die. Naturally, their health was worse than before, and they gradually became terminally ill.

Shen Mingjun was a little anxious and asked, "How could the Fourth Brother think about living a family life?"

As juniors, Shen Yongzhuo and Lu naturally should not evaluate these things, but Zhou was not polite and pinched his husband directly. The expression seemed to be saying that our family had already separated from the Shen family, living in the capital, or following his son to the place to enjoy happiness.

This time I am just coming back to visit my relatives. What are you going to care about your fourth brother? It’s just that our family and the fourth wife are in line with each other!

Walking all the way, Shen Mingjun and his wife didn't see anyone else in the Shen family. After asking, they found out that the Shen family had gone to the old house today, and even Shen Mingwen and Shen Mingtang had gone there. It seemed that something was wrong.

Zhou said: "You are living well in the big mansion, what are you doing in the old mansion? Oh, by the way, you are not living well now. Do you want to sell the house there?"

Shen Yongzhuo's face became even more ugly and said, "Auntie Fifth...My parents and third uncle, took their family members over to sell the old house. Now the Shen family owes a lot of foreign debts. If they don't sell the old house, they may not be able to repay it. Even the family can't take out the money for grandmother's usual medicine..."

After saying this, Zhou opened his mouth and did not speak again.

For obvious things, there will be a price to say. If she does not agree to selling the old house, it means that she has to pay off the debt herself. She doesn't want to be a sucker.

Shen Mingjun next to him was not polite and said directly: "Madam, haven't we bought the old house for us?"

A sentence drew Zhou's anger. Zhou said angrily: "Who said it was not? We bought the house with money, but the name was in the name of the uncle of the naive widow. That was the old lady's special order. Have you forgotten? Now his uncle is going to sell the house, why don't he discuss it with us?"

"No, no, let's go to them now!"

As he said that, Zhou was going to take her husband's arm to find the big house and settle the scores of the third house. This made Shen Mingjun feel embarrassed, and even Shen Yongzhuo and his wife next to him were embarrassed to see this scene.

Fortunately, Shen Mingjun has a certain majesty. Seeing his wife messing around, he said seriously: "Madam, we must go in and kowtow to my mother first. You go see her with me!"

Zhou was stunned. Only then did she remember that she was not coming back to compete for family property, but visited Li's condition.
