Chapter 74 Xiao Lang's mother died early
In the small courtyard of the five-bedroom Shen family.
When Zhou heard that he had a grandson, he was so excited that he jumped up from the chair. He left the yard and arrived at the main hall of the main courtyard in three or two steps. He asked someone to summon everyone from each room and prepare to announce the good news in public.
"Madam, even if Xiaolang has a son, we don't have to mobilize others to talk about it. Shouldn't we tell my mother first?"
Shen Mingjun became increasingly confused about his wife's actions.
The family has just added a mouthful. Xie Yuner got pregnant when they left the capital. It would be a matter of time before they had a baby. Is it necessary to be so excited?
"My husband, of course, this good news must be said in front of his family. The naive wai is only fifteen years old. He has become the top scholar and has been promoted to the official position and has a son. Isn't it all up to the Shen family to revive in the future?"
Zhou was extremely happy.
People came one after another in the main hall, but as soon as a few arrived, she quickly told the good news. Just like the reactions of each room when she was the head of the family, the expressions on the faces of each room were different, some were congratulating, some were silent and thoughtful, and some were disdainful. They could be said to have different thoughts, some were happy and some were worried.
"The little boy has a descendant? Haha, he is still a little shit doll. What is his ability to have a son? Could it be that it is not his breed? Raising a son for others?"
Wang's voice sounded out of place.
Zhou walked over with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."
"You think it makes sense? I think you should go back to Beijing quickly and let your son recognize his relatives. Our Shen family cannot raise a son for free."
"Bang!"
Zhou slapped Wang on the face, and slapped him with great force and heavy force. The blood on the corner of Wang's mouth was clearly visible.
Wang and Zhou had a fight. It was the first time they were beaten so directly. And the slap was too strong, and Wang was stunned: "You dare to hit me?"
"What if I hit you? I'm telling you nonsense Badao is now the head of our fifth family. I am the head of the family. I'm serving the family law. I want to use a ruler to beat this great sinner who has defiled the reputation of the family. See if she will not have a memory in the future!"
Even though Zhou had already been preparing to escape from Ninghua and return to the capital to live her good life, she wanted to try the true majesty of the head of the Shen family before leaving.
What did the old lady scare the most in the past? Of course, it was her ruler that always had to be bloody when hitting people! Zhou's head has been in such a long time and has never tried to hit people with a ruler.
"You are so unfair! Who allowed you to hit someone? It's amazing to be the head of the family? This head of the family is your husband, not you, the shrew!"
Wang was about to go forward and fight Zhou with his waist, but before she could even wait for her to move forward, she was stopped by her son and daughter-in-law.
Shen Yongzhuo said: "Mom, don't hurt your family!"
When Wang heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to slap her son with a big mouth. She said angrily: "You didn't come up to stop your mother when she was beaten. I'm going to beat her back now, but you said you won't hurt your composure? Did she treat us as a family?"
Shen Yongzhuo's wife Shen Lushi didn't even dare to say anything at this time, but just pulled her mother-in-law's body tightly because even those who are juniors could see that Wang was asking for a beating by herself just now.
The top scholar of the Shen family gave birth to the eldest son. This is a happy event that the Shen family and even the entire Ninghua County are worthy of writing. Even if you are unhappy, you can't joke about the reputation of Shen Xi and Xie Yuner. He is a fifth-rank official in the court!
It is considered light to insult the imperial officials and be reported to the government dozens of major boards one by one!
Zhou kept chattering: "Where is family law? Why haven't you asked for family law yet?"
On this side, Shen Mingjun quickly persuaded him that in the huge Shen family, he is the only one left in the Ming generation, but he is cowardly and he has no prestige in front of Zhou.
The third-bedroom Chen Sun and the fourth-bedroom Feng were watching the fun. What would happen to the big and young houses? In the end, don’t affect our own life. Their husband went to Fuzhou City to take the exam, and he also had to take care of the old lady and his children, so he didn’t have so much time to get involved in family conflicts.
This is also the habit that the old lady developed in the first place to manage her family rigorously. Each room lacks the unity and friendship that the family should have, but instead fights each other secretly or watches by the sidelines.
Even a relatively open-minded wife of the Shen family like Feng was resentful of Zhou's refusal to take Shen Yuan in his house when he lived in Ninghua. Being alone for a long time made Shen Yuan seem withdrawn since he was a child, and no one supported him after being bullied.
Zhou was very persistent in implementing the law.
She hated Wang for more than ten years, and finally it was her turn to take power. Now she still has such a good opportunity to beat Wang, so she never wants to miss it.
Just when Zhou asked those juniors to go to the room to get the ruler, he suddenly heard Feng say, "Mom, why are you out?"
One word made Zhengtang silent for a moment.
I saw the old lady walking out of the inner room with a confused look on her face, looking at everyone, and she didn't seem to recognize her. Finally, she said, "I'm here to find my grandson. He just went to school. When will he come back?"
"Mom, you are sick, so you need to rest more." Wang's wife wanted to show that she was a good daughter-in-law at this moment, so she took the initiative to please the old lady. With the support of the old lady, no one dared to hit her again.
"Who are you not? I'm looking for my grandson, grandson Xiaolang, where have you been? Grandma wants to tell you stories, tell your grandfather's story back then, Xiaolang."
The old lady didn't know anyone at this moment, and just thought that she had a baby grandson and called out everywhere.
When the old lady was seriously ill, she talked about Chen Xi so much that she couldn't think of food and food. The Shen family could only let Hachiro and Kyuro pretend to be Chen Xi.
The biggest impression the old lady left on Chen Xi was that before she was six or seven years old, she always thought that Chen Xi was a child. This trick was effective. However, today the old lady became more and more confused. She called Hachiro and Kyuro again but had no effect at all. No matter who went there, the old lady didn't believe that it was her grandson.
"My little boy is back from school. I will definitely miss his grandmother now. Don't stop me from seeing Xiao boy." The old lady's expression revealed a hint of kindness. Without the domineeringness of the past, she was like an ordinary rural old woman, smiling and always muttering about her most respected grandson Chen Xi.
Zhou went over to support the old lady and said, "Mom, I am Xiaolang's mother."
"Xiao Lang's mother? Bah, Xiao Lang's mother died long ago. She died of dysfunction when she gave birth to him. Xiao Lang has been lonely since she was a child. I raised him with shit and urine and walked away!"
The old lady scolded angrily, and now it made Wang very happy.
Let you couple always show off, saying that if your mother doesn’t remember others, she will remember the person from your youngest house. Now, I think you are dead, and even you will no longer admit it!
Zhou was so nervous that he was in a panic!
What do I mean when I gave birth to a stupid baby and died of dysfunction. I had that kid successfully. Others said that I didn’t look like I had a first child, but in the end I didn’t even get the root of the disease. Later, I also added another child to your Shen family. Now you are confused and think I have died long ago!?
I'm here to help you lead the company. You don't remember that I am the one!
But this is no wonder the old lady. In the mind of the old lady, the most concerned thing was that her seventh grandson was not cultivated by her. So after she was confused, she selectively forgot about Chen Xi and a mother. Later, Alzheimer's disease became more and more serious, and she even imagined Zhou as having passed away.
As for the fact that Chen Xi was admitted to the top scorer, she also forgot that she only knew that the most painful thing in her heart was this seventh grandson. Now that the seventh grandson is in school, she will take the imperial examinations again. She wants to rehearse the unfinished responsibility of cultivation.
"Mom, Qilang has already passed the top scorer and doesn't have to go to school anymore. He is now an official in the capital." Feng went over and reminded.
The old lady curled her lips: "Don't talk nonsense. My little boy is studying. What's the Qilang at home? You have to call him Xiaolang! Okay, I have two eggs here. Xiaolang loves to eat eggs the most. When his mother was alive, she liked to give him food. I don't feel sorry for one of them. They are all children. They just need to have a promising career after they grow up well. They are the wife of the big house. They always complain in front of me for nothing. I told her, if your husband can pass the imperial examination, I will let you eat eggs every day."
After hearing this, the Shen family shook their heads and smiled bitterly. What's going on? Since the old lady thought that Chen Xi's mother died when she gave birth to him, why would Zhou eat eggs for Chen Xi?
Zhou looked embarrassed when she heard this. She secretly ate eggs for her son, thinking that others didn't know, but she didn't expect the old lady to know it.
Zhou had a lot of hatred for the old lady before, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but respect the old lady. However, she glared at Wang fiercely, as if saying: You poisonous woman, you always go to your mother to instigate the complaint. I always lend you money at the beginning, and I never asked you to pay it back.
The old lady always clamored to find Chen Xi, and the whole family had no good ideas. Finally, Feng said: "Mom, Liulang passed the scholarship and went to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination with his uncle."
"Yeah?"
The old lady's face improved a little, "Which Liulang, Liulang?"
Now even Feng had nothing to say, so he could only accompany the old lady out and go out to find "Xiao Lang" in the yard.
In the end, the old lady didn't find anyone and sat on the threshold of the inner courtyard, crying and laughing. When she cried, she mentioned that Chen Xi was lonely and helpless since she was a child. She suffered a lot. When she laughed, she said that Chen Xi was promising. Mr. Su always praised him. After laughing for a while, she was a little tired of her spirit, so she leaned on her back to rest. Seeing this, the family quickly helped the old lady to rest in the inner room.
"Xiao Lang hasn't come back to school? I must let him go into the room to see me. I cooked two eggs for him to see how hot it was."
Before entering the house, the old lady really took out two eggs from her arms.
“When did you cook eggs?”
Zhou looked around and no one knew what was going on. Finally, she took the egg and agreed, "Okay, mom, I'll give it to him when Xiaolang comes back."
"Well, don't forget. My little son loves to eat eggs, but unfortunately he died early."
Zhou almost blurted out that you died early. If you are old, just curse me to die sooner than you can, so that others can think that your grandson’s top scholar was cultivated by you?
When the family of old people sent the old lady into the room, Zhou happened to feel hungry and had two hot eggs on his hand. Without thinking too much, he knocked on the coffee table. Unfortunately, it was not cooked eggs but two raw eggs, and it also emitted a stench. However, it was damaged by the old lady in her arms for a long time, and the black egg paste splashed all over her.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you are really good at slapping things. You don't want to eat eggs, so leave them for the children." Wang started to sarcastically again.
Zhou threw the egg shell on Wang's face and was furious: "Let you take good care of your mother. When did you take the eggs back to the house? Look, they are all broken!"
The Shen family is different from the past. They no longer regard eggs as precious things. No one counts how many eggs are in the basket on weekdays. When did the old lady hide two back, no one noticed.
Wang wiped his face angrily and said, "You are the brother and sister-in-law now."
Zhou was very angry. She originally thought that since I had a grandson, it would be impossible to stay and take care of you for a while.
