Yang Shen was so angry that he was indeed full of lies outside, and they were not in line with the facts. For example, when it comes to Shen Mingjun and Hui Niang, Yang Shen knew this younger brother very well. How could he have the ability to get a capable woman like Hui Niang?

If the rumors outside are true, it is really a flower inserted into cow dung!

But this time, she was very confident about Zhou's shares in many industries in Huiniang, because the person who provided her with the news said it was very convincing, and not one or two, all of them were members of the Chamber of Commerce Elders' Hall.

"Boy, what's your last name? My aunt is not someone who likes to ask trouble..."

Yang Shen knew that Chen Xi's status in the Shen family is not as good as before. Now that his nephew has passed the mansion examination, he will take the hospital examination next year. In the eyes of the old lady, he is the future juren. Now Shen Xi is a child talking in front of the adults, and the old lady ponders and doesn't speak.

"I have evidence. This woman gets no less than a thousand taels of silver from Mrs. Six every year, but only one or two hundred taels of silver is taken home. She took the money to buy the house... Mother, do you ask her if this is the case?"

Li frowned and looked at his daughter-in-law, and asked with a calm face: "Be serious about this?"

Zhou may not admit that he has shares in Huiniang's property, but the Shen family bought a house in the Fucheng City, so this matter cannot be concealed. After all, the family moved to a new home before the New Year, and Shen Mingjun also knew about this, so he would never conceal Li's.

In desperation, Zhou nodded with tears. Just when Li was disappointed and was about to be angry, Chen Xi hurriedly defended: "Grandma, Aunt Sun bought the house for our family. She also said that only when I become a scholar in the future will the house be transferred to my grandson's name as a gift to congratulate her grandson on her schooling."

Yang Shen now feels that he is sure to win. After hearing Chen Xi's words, he can't help but sneer again: "Silly boy, Mrs. 6 is a smart businessman. He said it in the chamber of commerce. Why do you give your house for no reason? I asked the house where you live, even if you suffer from water this year, it's worth more than 300 taels of silver. With the repair and purchase, you will have to pay four or five hundred taels of silver. Will Mrs. 6 give it to you with kindness?"

Chen Xi retorted: "Aunt, I don't understand something. Since you also said that Mrs. 6 is a smart businessman. When my mother went to the county town alone, she was just a guy who helped Mrs. 6 sell medicine at the counter. She expanded her business and did those big deals. Why did she share the share to her mother for no reason and let us get benefits?"

Even if Yang Shen was well prepared, she could speak eloquently and speak frankly, but she was still speechless by this question.

This is also the crux of the whole problem.

Yang Shen was also surprised when she heard that Zhou had shares in Huiniang's shop. She knew very well how honest Shen Mingjun and his wife were. They were not very capable, and they didn't know craftsmanship, and they didn't even know words. How could such a capable woman, easily share the money she got?

She didn't know that Hui Niang's rise from the beginning was because Chen Xi helped grow cowpox, and then the establishment of printing workshops, silver names and pharmaceutical factories were all at the suggestion of Shen Xi. Hui Niang and the Zhou sisters worked together to do it, but because Hui Niang always stood in front of the stage, and her outstanding abilities made people feel that she was a veritable shopkeeper.

Yang Shen's face turned red. She didn't expect Chen Xi to be so difficult to deal with, and thought to herself: "The ones who have read books are indeed different. This kid is a little older than my son. Why is it so different?"

Yang Shen said coldly: "Then how do you explain? Mrs. 6 wants to give your house to your house?"

Chen Xi explained: "Auntie and nephew all said it. It was not given to me by Aunt Sun, but to me. Aunt Sun's husband passed away in his early years. Now she only has her daughter by her side. Because her property is in her daughter's name, she cannot marry and have children. Aunt Sun has long wanted to recognize me as her adopted son, and my father knows this. If my grandmother and aunt don't believe it, you can ask my father."

Shen Mingjun quickly came out to confirm when he heard this: "Mom, sister, this is true. Mrs. 6 wanted to accept Qilang as her adopted son two years ago. He'er had discussed with me at the beginning, and I agreed. It was only because the lady in Mrs. 6's family disagreed that the matter was delayed. At that time, she discussed it and waited until the child grew older and then handled the matter of recognizing the mother."

Because Shen Mingjun has been a servant in the Wang family, even if he is a shopkeeper in the printing workshop, he still regards Hui Niang as a mistress, and even the name of 6 Xier is "Miss". At first, Li thought that Mrs. 6 wanted to give my shop share to my family. Is it because she was greedy for my son? Now that my son is so respectful to the title of 6 families, it means that what is rumored outside is all false.

Li nodded and said, "You mentioned this in the letter you wrote back with someone before, but I didn't object to it at the beginning."

Yang Shen said anxiously: "Mom, do you really believe what the couple said?"

At first, Yang Shen was targeting Zhou. Based on her understanding of Shen Mingjun, she thought that her younger brother should stand on the Shen family's position more. Now she felt that the situation was wrong. Not only did Shen Mingjun speak for his wife, but Chen Xi also came out to support his mother. The ropes of the three of the family were tightly twisted. She thought, what kind of medicine did this woman give to the father and son?

Her tone was no longer "this woman", but "the couple" was like this.

Li opened his eyes widened in anger: "Or who will the couple believe in? If you want Wei Mother to believe you, you will come out with evidence. Just listening to the rumors outside, you will come back to sow the relationship between the family? Even if the youngest daughter-in-law makes money outside? If she makes money, she still knows to give her family. What about you, your married daughter, don't you let Mother worry about it?"

Yang Shen was angry and was about to refute, but Yang Linghe, who had not spoken, stood up and pulled his wife's arm to stop him from talking.

Yang Linghe bowed and said, "Mom, my son-in-law remembers that he will go to see some old friends from Ninghua today. He will take his wife over with him first. It may be delayed until very late. He will sleep in the inn tonight for the time being. Wen Zhao stays here and wait for him to pick him up tomorrow."

How could Li not hear that this is because the couple had complaints in their hearts and didn’t want to live at home? But she also felt that the scene was stalemate, so she could leave and calm down. She nodded immediately: "Okay, remember to come here earlier to take over this child... I haven’t seen my grandson for a few days, so I have to talk to him well this time."

Then no one sent Yang Ling and his wife out, and they left on their own.

After the person left, Li said with a little comforting tone: "Young wife, don't cry. Now your sister-in-law is gone, tell me if this is the case?"

Li's trick is clearly a combination of soft and hard.

Yang Shen's previous appearance was a bully. Just now, Li also said, "What if the youngest wife earns money outside?" Now she has performed again, and it is clearly using soft words to tell the truth.

Zhou seemed to understand this too. She wiped her tears, sobbed, raised her head and said firmly: "Even mother doesn't believe in her daughter-in-law?"

Li was not easy to answer for a moment.

Chen Xixin said, my mother’s rhetorical question is really beautiful!

From the beginning to the end, I didn't say that she didn't hide money privately. Either the words were said by his son or the father answered it. It was not from my mother's mouth. From the beginning, I cried there with the look of being wronged by others, which made Li soft-hearted. Although my daughter is a piece of flesh on her body, now my daughter is given someone else's surname and is considering her husband's family. No matter how hard her daughter-in-law can't stand it, she is also a member of the Shen family. She has to take the money back to honor her as a parent.

Li waved his hand: "Okay, okay, this matter ends here. The youngest, help your wife to rest in the room. He just came back and was noisy. If the family was not married, look back and you will apologize to your sister and brother-in-law. Even if the matter is over, the family must live a harmonious life. You should also help in the city in the future."

Chen Xi thought to himself: "My grandmother is really biased. Now it is obvious that your daughter is accusing us. Now she still asks us to apologize to your daughter and her husband? What a crooked reason? Just because she is the eldest, my father and my mother are young?"

In the old lady's mind, etiquette and law are greater than heaven. The most basic one of etiquette and law is orderly.

This is also why Shen Mingjun and his wife are always bullied, because Shen Mingjun is the youngest at home, and even the son he gave birth to was also the youngest.

Chen Xidao: "Grandmother, it was obvious that my aunt was falsely accusing me of her mother, why did we apologize?"

Li said with a stern face: "Qilang, my grandmother used to think you were very sensible. Now it seems that you have grown up and know a lot of things, but sometimes you don't pay attention to the occasion. No matter what, your aunt and uncle are also your elders. Are those words just now what you, a junior, should have said?"

This seems to be complaining, but Li's favoritism towards Chen Xi was obviously better than his son and daughter.

In the Li family's standards, whoever has the ability can help the Shen family revival will have the right to speak, which is even above the orderly etiquette of the elders and the young.

Although she has always pinned her hopes on her eldest son Shen Mingwen, Shen Xi is now a terrifying young man. With Chen Xi's achievements in passing the case at the age of ten, her future future will definitely not be inferior to Shen Mingwen. Li attaches great importance to this grandson, so that Chen Xi just refuted in front of his elders, but she did not stop him.

Or Yang Ling and his wife also saw that Shen Mingjun and his family made the most contribution to the money they gave to their families, and the other hand, Chen Xi is promising now and may have great achievements in the future. There is no conclusive evidence that Zhou has privately kept a small treasury outside, so he can only give up first and go back and make a long-term plan. Otherwise, the old lady would not make decisions for them.

Chen Xi respectfully admitted his mistake: "What my grandmother taught me was that my grandson remembered it."

Li smiled and nodded and said, "Good grandson, live up to my grandmother's love for you. Later, Liulang comes back from school, you can learn more from him and teach him well."

Because Chen Xi is now "skilled" than Liulang Shen Yuan, this has caused the two brothers to lose their status at home. In the past, the old lady liked Shen Yuan more than Chen Xi, but now the old lady is very cold to Shen Yuan. Even Shen Yuan is a genius in studying, so the New Year's Eve was called home to make up for the lessons, so that she could become a talent early to participate in the county examination.

Or just from the perspective of reading, Shen Yuan's talent may be higher than Chen Xi. After all, Chen Xi has accumulated knowledge for more than 20 years, while Shen Yuan started from scratch.
