After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p
Chapter 2: How to fool ghosts
"Miss, the old lady is not feeling well, please come over."
The woman in her fifties spoke in a bad tone, showing no respect for the eldest daughter of the family, but instead full of contempt.
Shen Ning then remembered that at this year, the old ancestor in his family was still alive.
He stood up slowly and said, "It's time to pay respects to grandma."
She glanced at the woman from the corner of her eye. She was Aunt Liu, her grandmother's capable maid who had been with her since she got married and continued to serve her after she got married. But she was an 'admired' elder in the mansion.
But she couldn't show off her power for long, because the old lady's health was really not good and she didn't have much time left. Counting the days, it would probably be just over a year.
In the previous life, the old lady died, and these people lost their power. The second house couldn't afford to support them, so Shen Ningke did a lot to add insult to injury.
Who would have thought that after being reborn, a dead dog could bark again? It's really strange.
Walking along the familiar road, Shen Ning arrived at Nansong Hall. The second wife and her husband were sitting in front of the hall, eagerly waiting for her.
Second Aunt Zhao said sarcastically: "Your grandmother is sick and you didn't even come to see her. How can you take care of someone? You have no filial piety at all."
Shen Ning has been bullied by them for a long time and is tired of it.
"Second Aunt is so filial, I guess she must serve by my grandmother's bedside every day. After all, my grandmother only has Second Uncle as her biological son, so it's not the turn of others to be filial to her."
He said this with a smile, looking regretful.
Zhao's face changed. She was about to speak when her husband pulled her back. Thinking of the reason why the old lady asked Shen Ning to come, she endured it for the time being.
How could Shen Ning not know what they were planning? Wasn't it because they saw that she was getting ready to get married and they wanted to finally take control of the eldest wife's property?
Sure enough, as soon as she entered, the old lady had been helped to sit down, and was waiting in a ready position, and she went straight to the point.
"Your wedding is coming soon. Once you get married, you will belong to another family. Take good care of your husband and children, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the family anymore."
"Shen Shu has reached the age of marriage, and Shen Yu is still young. There should be elders in the family. No matter what, your second uncle and second aunt are your father's brothers. They are your closest elders. Blood is thicker than water. They should be the ones to preside over this family."
"Your uncle and aunt have sharp tongues but kind hearts. How could they treat you unfairly?"
Sharp tongue but soft heart? This is just a lie.
The only purpose of these words is to make her hand over the power of managing the family.
The fight over the family property started three years ago and has never stopped until her death in the future.
When my father died, the old lady wanted to take control of the family, but my mother was still alive at that time, so it was not easy for her to seize the property of the eldest wife. However, before they could come up with a plan, my mother followed my father.
There are only three children left in the eldest wife's house, so won't they be at the mercy of them?
It was Shen Ning who confronted her mother with a knife at her funeral. She would kill anyone who dared to bully the three children and bury him with her mother. In the end, she took control of all the money of the eldest wife.
But the old lady was still unwilling to give up. Even though Shen Ning separated the second house, she was determined to live in the first house, so that one day she could help her son get the inheritance of her stepson with a legitimate reason.
Yes, the old lady is the second wife of the old man of the Shen family. My eldest aunt and my father Shen Shuyuan were born to the first lady, and my second uncle and youngest aunt are born to the current old lady Zhang.
Although she is the second wife, the status of the old lady is there. Out of filial piety, the grandchildren of the first wife have to be filial to her. But what the old lady wants is not respect, but everything.
The second uncle has no official position and is idle all day long. His whole family survives by sucking the blood of the eldest wife.
My father was often dragged down by them during his lifetime, and his selfish face was revealed early on. If all the property of the first wife was given to the second wife, the three sisters would not know how they would live.
Not to mention whether the second branch would still take care of them, just look at the second uncle's gambling habit and the eldest cousin's group of bad friends. I'm afraid the first branch's wealth would have been squandered by them long ago.
It’s not that Shen Ning has to be strong, but she has seen clearly what her way out is.
But no matter how hard she worked, she still encountered too much criticism because of her status as a woman.
Wei Congwen's father is a third-rank imperial censor. She wants to marry Wei Congwen in order to use her husband's family status to suppress the evil spirits in this mansion, but in the end...
Not to mention.
Now she doesn't want to rely on anyone, and no one can be relied on. Only the wealth that she holds tightly in her hands is real.
"Grandma is right, but we'll talk about it on the day I get married. As long as my bridal sedan doesn't leave the house, I have the final say in this big house."
"You..." Old Madam Zhang glared angrily: "Do you still have me, your grandmother, in your eyes?"
Shen Ning lowered her eyes: "Grandma, you are joking. Grandma is for filial piety, not for looking down on. If I am not filial to you, your food and clothing will not be like this, and you will not be able to spare too much for Second Uncle to squander."
Filial piety is more important than anything else. Since the old lady insisted on living in the main house, Shen Ning naturally had to be filial.
She just wanted some money, and although all of it eventually went into the hands of the second wife, Shen Ning couldn't refuse to give any of it, otherwise his spine would be broken.
If she wants to be the head of the family, she must do her best to maintain her reputation.
But Shen Ning has never been a soft persimmon. She usually has a good face, just because she doesn't want people to think that she is a crazy person who can only threaten people with a knife.
Now... after dying once, who wouldn't go crazy?
Second Aunt Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and rushed in. Just as she was about to curse, Shen Ning stopped her with a smile: "Second Aunt, are you sure you want to make a scene? My father died in the line of duty, and His Majesty issued an imperial decree to posthumously confer him a title and bury him. It's only been three years, and his brother is trying to seize his brother's wealth and bully his children. If I go to the government to complain, will my cousin still be able to pursue a career in government in this life?"
Zhao was shocked and angry, her face flushed with anger: "You...how can you be so vicious? You actually want to harm your cousin, how can our family have such a scourge like you?"
Oh, a bunch of parasites calling others a nuisance.
Second uncle Shen Changlin's eyes were cold and full of greed and calculation: "You just said that you would hand over the power of the head of the family as long as the bridal sedan leaves. Is it true?"
Shen Ning: "Have I ever broken my promise?"
She said to hand it over, but she didn't say to hand it over to the second house. But obviously the people in the second house didn't think it was wrong. They took it for granted that the property handed over by Shen Ning would definitely fall into their hands.
"Okay!" Shen Changlin held his wife back and said, "You'd better remember what I said today."
Zhao also reacted. According to the date, Shen Ning would be getting married next month. Next month, she only needed to wait another month and everything in the Shen family would be hers.
For a month, she waited!
Shen Ning looked at the greedy faces of the couple, and seemed to see again the time when they instigated their younger brother Shen Yu and his wife to seize power and drive her out.
Since they couldn't get it themselves, they let her beloved brothers and sisters stab her with a knife.
Those two idiots...
She won’t do that this time. She won’t get married, nor will she hand over all the power of the Shen family. No one can get their hands on the wealth that she has fought so hard to protect!
As for her younger brothers and sisters, haha, it’s better to stay away from them!
