As the matter of the Shen family has developed to the present, others have to make decisions.

Zhou was very smart in this matter. If she rashly proposed to split up when Li just passed away, it would inevitably cause discussion among others and thus affect her son's future.

It’s not that Zhou suddenly got up, but that she had a good daughter-in-law, Xie Yuner.

Xie Yuner reminded Zhou that whenever the Shen family is divided, you must pass the gentry level. If even the gentry thinks it is inappropriate, it is best not to mention the division of the family.

Anyway, the five families of the Shen family have been separated in form and will live in the capital for a long time. There is no need to return to Ninghua County to be under the jurisdiction of a large family.

Zhou felt much more stable when he heard this. No matter how much Wang made a fuss, he didn't care about it at all. There was no need for her to make any comments on the matter of the Shen family's division.

In fact, it doesn’t take her to say that the fourth wife of the Shen family would also take the initiative to propose that the second wife and third wife would not want to live with the big wife, but it is not realistic to remove the big wife from the Shen family alone. The best way is to separate the family and live your own life, so as to avoid dragging others down or being dragged down.

Wang knew her own situation. It was basically impossible to support her family with her useless husband. Her daughter-in-law is very virtuous, but a good wife is hard to cook without rice. Her son Shen Yongzhuo is a scholar, but unfortunately he has not passed the exam for scholars so far, let alone teaching or supporting the family with knowledge.

Under such a background, whenever the Shen family split, the big house became a child without a mother, and no one could hold on to the lintel.

Wang shouted: "... I killed these days. My mother pulled them up with shit and urine, and raised them to support their children to go to school. As a result, my mother died, she split the family against her mother's wishes. If she killed these days, she was not qualified to enter the Shen Family Ancestral Hall, and she was not considered a member of the Shen Family..."

Although Wang is stingy and often speaks without proper sense, she occasionally has times when she is smart. It is like when the Shen family splits up, she must first define the Shen family's rooms except the large house as "traitors", so that Shen Mingwen can drive each room out of the house as the eldest son of the Shen family.

One is to actively split up the family, and the other is to be kicked out, with completely different meanings.

There are scholars in the fourth and fifth rooms of the Shen family. Shen Xi is a second-rank official at the time. Shen Yuan is taking the provincial examination and is concerned about filial piety, etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. Once the Shen family's main house determines this matter, Shen Xi and Shen Yuan will inevitably be stabbed in the backbone in the future, which is equivalent to placing the fourth and fifth rooms of the Shen family in a position of unfaithfulness and unfiliality.

What Wang cares about most is the Shen family’s mansion and old house.

These two houses cover a vast area. As long as they can drive each house out, even if the big house has no livelihood, they will not starve to death. They will live a free and comfortable life just by splitting the house and renting it out.

Shen Mingxin's wife Feng heard Wang's words and said something a little dissatisfied: "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, why do you sound like you are talking about yourself?"

Wang was arguing with Zhou, but now Feng suddenly interrupted, thinking, aunt, I can't help but give birth to a fifth wife of the top scholar, but I can't help but you, a stinky woman? Your son is a scholar, my man is also a scholar, and I am the eldest daughter-in-law, what are you?

Wang said angrily: "Fourth wife, please be careful when speaking. Why am I going against my mother's intention?"

Feng said: "My mother decided to support the descendants of the Shen family. The eldest wife, from her uncle to her nephew, was devoted to the imperial examination. No one worked hard for the family. She relied on the second to fifth wife and worked hard. Even the fifth wife was a servant in Ninghua City, just to support the uncle to take the imperial examination..."

"But what the result is!? My uncle is still a scholar, but there is a Wenqu star in the fifth house. Now anyone who mentions the Shen family looks up to you, but it is not your family to be born, but because of the fifth house..."

The biggest unfairness of the Shen family is that there were two scholars from the beginning of the Shen family's house. Shen Mingwen and Shen Yongzhuo were equivalent to the parasites of the Shen family. They never do farm work or work to support the family and live a luxurious life. Wang even relied on his wife as the eldest wife to bully his younger brothers and sisters everywhere, so that Wang has almost offended everyone.

Wang was stabbed and hurt his feet, and his voice suddenly increased by eight degrees, and he was furious: "The fourth wife of the fourth child talked so aggressively, she must have stole a wild man outside, otherwise how could she get into a scholar if she gave birth to a boy? The fourth child would have the life of a scholar if she gave birth to a scholar!?"

In Wang's logic, if others make me uncomfortable, I will definitely not make others feel good. If others expose my shortcomings, I have to respond to the past. If the other party acts carefully, then I will maliciously slander. Anyway, being a shrew does not violate the law, so I will say whatever I want to scold you.

Feng was wronged and stole a man outside. Even if he had good cultivation, he couldn't help but express his angrily: "My sister-in-law likes wronged people so much. Our fourth wife has never lived with you. Others don't want to break up the matter, but our fourth wife doesn't mind standing up and talking...Split up the family! And it's unconditional separation!"

"We don't want the big house, old house, and the land that was sold for supporting the family. We don't want it if we are not ours. From now on, we have nothing to do with the Shen family. Don't try to take a penny from us!"

This was very imposing. When she said it, someone nearby almost praised Feng, especially the second and third-bedroom juniors who were bullied by the eldest child at home, who were usually very bullied by the eldest child at home. They dared not speak out before, but now they heard someone taking the lead, and they were not so timid and spoke to support the separation. Even if they were not separated, they should live with the fifth child instead of the eldest child.

Wang sneered: "Split the family? It's easy to say! What you eat, drink, wear, and what you wear now is not from the Shen family? Since you are splitting the family, it's okay. You have to leave the house with nothing, don't leave a penny, it's best to walk out from here naked. You are willing, so let you divide this family!"

Feng was so angry that he stared at Wang with gritted teeth. She could hold it back because she knew that once she broke up with Wang, she would not take the initiative in the division.

Originally, the whole family was waiting for the big house to fight with the five houses, but now the conflict between the big house and the four houses was provoked. At this moment, it was a completely war between women, and the men in each house didn't say anything because they found that they could not interfere in such a quarrel.

At this time, a voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded: "This is wrong. When will your big room let you take charge of the Shen family? When will the Shen family become the big room? Will the fourth room be cleaned out of the house? What does it have to do with your big room? Hum!?"

In one sentence, the whole atmosphere was stirred up, because the speaker was the most capable woman in the Shen family who everyone was optimistic about before... Shen Xi's old mother, Shen Zhou.

Shen Zhou, whose boudoir is He'er, married into the Shen family for 19 years. In the early years, she was bullied in the Shen family. However, since she moved out of Taohua Village and entered Ninghua County, and later went to Changting County, the capital city, she was basically separated from the Shen family. Later, her son was invincible in the imperial examination field, and her status in the Shen family soared.

Before Li died, Zhou had already dared to challenge Li openly. At that time, Li could not suppress her, let alone now that Li died, no one could ride on her head.

After hearing Zhou's words, Wang said angrily: "We are the eldest sons of the eldest sons. Since ancient times, the eldest sons have inherited the family business!"

Zhou smiled and said, "Is that true? Then the relationship is good. Since your eldest son wants to inherit the family business, will the debts outside be inherited by your eldest son?"

Wang smiled with a smug smile: "Of the foreign debt will naturally be returned. Our eldest son will never default on the debt. But if we have internal debts, our eldest son will still have to pay for each of your houses... This time my mother's funeral was over 100 taels of silver. Have you handed over the one you had in their own houses?"

The whole house was in an uproar. The whole family had no idea about the expenses of this funeral. No one knew how much the funeral cost of Li's funeral was spent, but in order to maintain the appearance of the Shen family, all the show was as best as possible this time.

This is also because Wang knew that the five houses paid for money and did not consider saving at all. He even took the opportunity to eat and drink, and deducted some money in private. As a result, the funeral that could be completed with twenty taels of silver was spent more than one hundred taels in the end, and Wang was complacent.

Not only did she not spend a tael of silver, she also took a lot of kickbacks from the purchase. When the funeral was over, she did not intend to return the balance to the five houses. Instead, she asked each house to hand over the share of the shares so that she could make enough money through this funeral.

Everyone present looked at each other in shock, and had a thought in his mind: "I have always known that people in the big house are shameless, but how can they be so shameless?"

Zhou's smile was calm, and he was not anxious or impatient: "Sister-in-law, did the money for the funeral be paid by your big house?"

Wang smiled sinisterly and said, "Why isn't it? My mother used the money from the Shen family for funeral. Could it be that your fifth house has a small treasury? Logically speaking, the money the eldest sister-in-law is mother and the youngest son gets as an official outside should be my control!"

Feng came to Zhou with a sad face and said aggrievedly: "My brother and sister, you have to stand up and make decisions for us. This trouble has become a owe to her money. No matter how hard it is, we owe her money, it is impossible to say this!"

Zhou smiled and said, "Why are the fourth sister-in-law worried? Since the eldest sister-in-law likes to take care of the Shen family's affairs so much, let her bear the foreign debts in the family."

When Zhou said this, the Shen family looked at her, not understanding what the foreign debt in Zhou's mouth was.

Zhou was calm and composed: "The gentry later not only did not only testify, but also to collect the foreign debts owed by the Shen family. When my mother was having funeral, we had no money in the five houses, so we had to raise money from the local gentry in the name of the Shen family. They said that they could not pay it back, so we sold the big house and the old house to make up for the number."
