Stingy Husband Farming

Chapter 2 Auspicious Basin

It was Shen Laoer who lured the people from the gambling shop to the academy, which led to the sudden death of Shen Boss.From Shen Mu's point of view, didn't Shen Laoer kill his father?Now the second son Shen still dares to bully the orphans and widows left by him in front of Boss Shen's spirit, and he is not afraid that Boss Shen's soul will go to him in the middle of the night to ask for an explanation!

The faces of the old couple of the Shen family were also extremely ugly, their family ugliness should not be exposed, Shen Mu just yelled so loudly, but it completely disgraced their old Shen family.Old lady Shen raised her eyebrows, and was about to scold Shen Mu, when there was a cough outside the door, it was Shen Mu's mother Liu, who led the old village chief and several elders of the Shen family to stand at the door.Shen Laoer's daughter-in-law had been squeezed to nowhere, and the spectators dispersed to make way for the clan elders.

Seeing that it was the old village head, Mrs. Shen's raised eyebrows drooped immediately, and she shrank behind her old man.

"What is this for? It's already time, why can't you still carry it out?" The old village chief looked at the people standing in the house with a very unhappy expression.Finally, he turned his head and said to Mr. Shen: "Fifth, I know it's hard for Kid Wen to lose you, and I can't bear it. I can't bear it either, but the time has come, so don't let Kid Wen wait."

The old man Shen is five, and the villagers respectfully call him "Fifth Grandpa" and "Fifth Uncle", but the old village head is his big brother, and he is very powerful.After growing up, the big hall brother became the village head again, and old man Shen was a little afraid of him.But things have come to this point, and the old man Shen is unwilling to fly away with the money he is about to get, so he bites the bullet and says: "The coffin is about to be raised, this dog hasn't thrown the pot for his uncle yet, he will get up when he falls. coffin."

Shen Lao Er's third son, Goudan, was clever. He got out of nowhere, holding a clay basin in his hand, and stuffed it into his second brother's hand.Shen Ergou immediately understood, and walked forward with the basin.

"Wait." The old village head frowned, staring at the pot in Shen Ergou's hand, "Ergou, what kind of pot do you have?"

The auspicious pot dropped in front of the coffin is very particular, not any pot can be dropped, it has to be a special pot specially bought before the funeral, with holes drilled in the bottom of the pot.There are rumors that after death, people have to scoop up all the "bitter water" they used in life before they can be reincarnated, otherwise they will have to suffer in the underworld all the time.Later generations drilled a hole under the auspicious basin in order to let the old people scoop up the bitter water quickly, and the bitter water flowed out along the hole.

And Shen Mu has already dropped the pot that Shen's family prepared in advance, where can I get another one?So at this moment, what Shen Ergou was holding was an ordinary earthen basin, and there was no hole in the bottom of the basin.

After hearing the words, several clan elders also leaned over, saw the ordinary clay basin in Shen Ergou's hand, and cursed people one by one with a cane: "You are confused!" Let him not let him fall into the basin.

The old village chief's face also turned green, and he pointed at the crock pot in Shen Ergou's hand with a trembling finger, and scolded old man Shen, "It's just that boy Wen was a little unhappy with you before, this person is gone, you are a father!" How can he be so cruel that he can't finish drinking the bitter water even in the ground?"

Old man Shen is over 50 years old, and he was respected more in the village when he was older. It has been many years since he was pointed at his nose and scolded.But the person who scolded him was his eldest brother, and he couldn't speak back, his face was flushed red.

The old village chief turned his head to Shen Mu again: "Brother Mu, your father's funeral is so decent, why don't you know how to prepare an auspicious basin for him?"

Shen Mu's eyes were hot, how could he not know that the old village head was secretly helping him?Quickly let go of the auspicious basin that has fallen behind him: "I'm ready to put it down. I ordered it with Master Wang's house in Dahu Village. There are four holes drilled in the bottom. It has been dropped just now, and it will start now." The coffin is coming."

As soon as Shen Mu got out of the way, several clan elders also saw the fragments of the auspicious basin that had fallen behind Shen Mu.Look at the crock pots in Shen Ergou's hands, they are all people who have lived for decades, who doesn't have a picture in mind?

Seeing that the situation was not conducive to his family, Second Shen hurriedly said: "Boss, no, how can this brother throw a pot? We still need the roots of our old Shen family to throw this pot..."

However, none of the people present stopped to listen to him.Forget about his father, he is a junior, and he is still the most incompetent junior. None of the old village chiefs and clan elders are willing to talk to him.

"Since you've already fallen, what's the fuss about? Hurry up and get up the coffin, don't delay Wen boy on his way." The old village chief said to the person who carried the coffin, and also to the dark coffin: "Wen boy, let's go!"

The old village head had spoken, and a few capable boys in the village hurried forward and "helped" Old Man Shen aside: It seemed like a help, but in fact it was almost a fight.As for Shen Laoer and Shen Ergou, they were not treated so well. They were dragged aside by their arms to make way for the door.

Shen Mu's eyes were red, he knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to his father a few times, and shouted hoarsely, "Get up!"

Several coffin-bearers who had been prepared for a long time worked hard together to lift a heavy four-six-foot plank cypress coffin and walked towards the door.

One tooth is about to fall out, and the silver-white hair is also thinning. The clan elder supported his grandson's hand, pointed to Shen Mu who was still kneeling and red-eyed, and said: "This is a good boy, filial and sensible."

Old man Shen's face darkened even more.

As soon as the eldest Shen died, the second Shen urged the old couple to seek the property of the big house.The two of them were originally unwilling to lose this person, but they were also afraid that the debt collectors would come home every day.Old arms and old legs, I can't stand the toss!Besides, their own son is also dead, the remaining eldest daughter-in-law is not liked by them, and Shen Mu is just a brother, compared to his own safety, he doesn't care about their life or death.

Originally thinking that the boss is gone, there is no son, and Shen Mu has handled his father's funeral affairs so decently, so he will definitely come to the door and beg for a male to come and beat his father.They have all made up their minds and don't ask for more. It is the rule of the village that a male Ding Chengshi gets half of the family property, and they follow the rules. They don't take all of it, just enough to pay off the debt, and the rest will be given to Shen Mu as a dowry. Don't say that they don't love their grandchildren as grandparents.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mu didn't come to the door even after waiting at home. Looking at Boss Shen's funeral today, the people in the old house couldn't sit still anymore, so they brought Shen Ergou to the door. Unexpectedly, Shen Mu was so courageous. Dare, how dare you throw a basin to his father!

Although it is not that there are no brothers in the village who throw pots, but they are not serious men, and they will be paid attention to.

This grandson was not raised by him, and the two families hadn't had much contact with each other for more than ten years. It can be said that he didn't understand Old Man Shen's admiring character at all.Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a shameless, skinny and not afraid to be particular about it!

The plan fell through, and the people in the old house said they were out of breath.It never occurred to me that the person who came to someone's house in a hurry to grab the family property, didn't know who was shameless, skinless and not afraid of being fastidious.

As the name suggests, in Shenjiatun, Shen is the common surname, and the family surnamed Shen accounts for more than half.Old man Shen is the village chief's cousin, and the two have a grandfather, so they are quite close in terms of blood.

This old man Shen has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Shen Wen, is Shen Mu's father, Boss Shen.Shen Boss Shen Wen has only one elder brother, Shen Mu.And Shen Wu, Shen's second son, is more likely to have children and grandchildren. He has three sons, Shen Gouzi, Shen Ergou and Shen Goudan, and two daughters.No wonder she was willing to adopt a son to Shen Wenlai in exchange for family property.

The only daughter of the old man Shen was married to Lin County, she was a little far away, and she didn't come back once in a few years, and she hadn't seen her for a long time.

Everyone in the village knew that the Shen family brothers were at odds.Because the two elders of the Shen family had a prejudice against Shen Mu's mother, the Liu family, the two families separated 15 years ago.Usually, although Boss Shen never stopped giving gifts during New Years and holidays, and sent over two taels of old-age money every year on time, the people in the old house didn't interact with them at all, and they were no different than strangers. The second elder met the people in the big house in the village , as if they hadn't seen it, if it wasn't for the reason that the elders didn't have to give way to the younger generation, they wished they could walk around the people in the big house, and they would embarrass Boss Shen a lot.

Of course, because of this incident, old man Shen was often reprimanded by his big brother.But firstly, they are getting old, and secondly, it is housework, reprimands are reprimands, old man Shen does not listen, and the old village chief can't reach out to other people's homes.

Isn't there a saying that it's hard for an upright official to break up housework.Don't take the village head as an official.

But when Boss Shen died, he didn't see the people from the Shen family's old house when he was watching the spirit, and he couldn't see the people from the Shen family's old house when he was mourning.The old village chief couldn't sit still when he heard this, Mrs. Liu came to invite someone, and the old village chief came over to uphold justice without saying a word.

Shen Wen's life was not easy, and because Shen's second son died unexpectedly, the orphans and widows left by him could no longer be taken away from their family property.Of course, there are many people in the village who understand the matter.Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away, and within a short while, the reputation of the Shen family will be bad. People in the courtyard of the Shen family started talking about it on the spot, and the chattering spread to the ears of the people in the old house of the Shen family.

Boss Shen was buried in a safe and sound manner, which meant that the dust had settled, and there was nothing to take advantage of in the old house for a while.Facing the increasingly hostile gazes of the old village chief, clan elders, and villagers, as well as the mocking voices of their comments, the old man Shen was unwilling to continue to stay cheeky, and the family went back to the old courtyard in desperation.
