Stingy Husband Farming
Chapter 38 The Old Village Chief's Considerations
In the name of being unfilial, the elderly Shen and his wife not only forbade Shen's tablet from entering the ancestral hall, but also threatened to move his bones from the Shen family's ancestral grave.
"It's not that we are cruel to embarrass the children, but the boss insisted on separating from us because of that bastard Liu, and he even gave up his parents because of a wife. He hasn't been to my house for more than ten years. This is still What about a scholar who has studied... such an unfilial person, how can he deserve to be included in the ancestral hall." Old lady Shen cried while covering her face. "If his family, Brother Mu, is willing to atone for his father's sin, then we can still discuss it."
Boss Shen's memorial tablet is still with Mrs. Liu, and it stands to reason that it will be placed in the ancestral hall after a hundred days of filial piety.As a result of this incident, Shen Qingshan, his father, the village chief, and several clan elders all came.Hearing Mrs. Shen crying incessantly, I was very annoyed.
The old man Shen and his wife originally just wanted to ask Shen Mu for some money to live on, but their hearts were not enough—especially after being rejected by Shen Mu, the old man Shen was a little bit annoyed and felt that he had to show some color to Shen Mu Look, let him know who is the grandpa and who is the grandson!
The old man Shen proposed that it is okay to want Boss Shen to enter the ancestral hall. Not only does Shen Mu have to give two taels of pension money every year, but Shen Mu also has to support them.After all, Second Shen ran away, who knows if he will come back?In the future, when they have headaches, brain fever, and inconvenient legs and feet, Shen Mu will have to go and serve them.
Mrs. Shen told the old village head and clan elders: "We really can't help it. The second child is gone. Who else can we count on? After all, Xiaomu is our eldest son and grandson. We We can only rely on him for the rest of our lives." Mrs. Shen wiped her tears.
The old man Shen folded his hands and squatted at the base of the wall, expressing his helplessness with a sigh.
Shen Mu was so angry that his eyes were splitting: "My father is also your own son. Don't let him enter the ancestral hall. If you do this, won't your conscience hurt?"
"How did we do it?! As long as you agree, nothing will happen! Your father should enter the ancestral hall or the ancestral hall! You don't want to agree? You have the heart to watch your father wandering outside like a lonely ghost? How do you So unfilial - I'm your grandfather, shouldn't you take care of me?!" Old man Shen pressed his teeth against Chen Mu's body.
Several clan elders sat aside and looked at each other, feeling that the logic of this statement seemed to be correct, and they seemed to be persuaded.
Shen Qingshan couldn't take it anymore.Normally, when his father presides over things, he doesn't talk much, but at this moment, seeing his father as if he was going to stand by, he couldn't help saying with a livid face: "Uncle Wutang, when you separated from Brother Wen But after signing the separation document, Brother Wen leaves the household completely, and will give you two taels of silver pension money every year, but you will no longer serve in front of your two elders, and the family property will have nothing to do with the old house in the future. It is clearly written in black and white, you guys It doesn’t matter after the two families, it’s not much worse than divorce.”
Old man Shen glared at Shen Qingshan angrily.But after all, he didn't dare to confront Shen Qingshan, who became the village chief, so he had to turn his head to look at the old village chief again.
The old village chief sat in the main seat, lowered his eyes, and did not speak.
Old man Shen had no choice but to turn his attention to other clan elders. These were also his uncles and uncles. Old man Shen hoped that they would voice their support.
If you want to say that these clan bosses really can't turn their heads, that's a lie!But each of them is also selfish.
Shen Mu, this little brother, is too thoughtful.Including his father, Boss Shen, who was too ambitious and righteous.
But Shen Wen is the only scholar in the village after all, they can't be overly picky, and they still have something to ask for Shen Wen.But for Shen Mu, he will not be so tolerant.
They are all old people, and their status in the family is the same as that of Old Man Shen.No one can guarantee that no one has done anything wrong in his life.Especially for things like eccentricity, all ten fingers have long segments, and it is too difficult to hold a bowl of water level.This sort of thing is all too common.
If everyone is like Boss Shen and Shen Mu, who are rich and successful, and don't serve the elderly because of their faults, will these old guys still be respected in the village?
The youngest clan elder was also the first to lose his composure, and said, "Brother Mu, what your grandfather said is also true. Anyway, you can afford two taels of silver, so it's just a matter of taking care of your grandfather." Son. Why delay your father from entering the ancestral hall because of this little thing?"
That's what being a peacemaker is all about.
If possible, Shen Mu really didn't want to tear himself apart with these clan elders.After all, he will still live in the village in the future.The power of the clan is too great for orphans and widows like him and Liu.
Even if there is Song Bai——Song Bai came in as a married man, it is not worth mentioning in front of the clan.
Shen Mu held Song Bai's hand tightly, his eyes blushing: "The clan elders are right. However, grandpa is not only my father's son, isn't there also Shen Lao Er? Even if Shen Lao Er escapes, My father is also dead. The matter of caring for the elderly should not be left to our family, right? The second son Shen ran away, but he still has a son. Grandpa don't say I am the eldest son and grandson," Shen Mu said with a sneer: "I'm just a brother, and my eldest grandson can't afford it. Your serious eldest grandson is Shen Gouzi."
The clan elder was a little embarrassed, and took a look at old man Shen: "Mu Geer's words are reasonable. They are both grandchildren, and those in the second bedroom should take care of you like Mu Geer, and you can't just stare at Mu Geer alone."
The old man Shen was also suffocating, and secretly scolded the clan elder: Do you still have principles?Why is it like a grass on the wall? ?
But this is his brother-in-law, and he can only reply with anger: "Gouzi is still young, and he is not married. He is a child. His father has left, and the family money has been taken away. Gouzi will not be able to survive by himself." As an older brother, Mugeer has to support his younger brother, and he can't watch his younger brother starve to death."
What Old Man Shen said was a matter of course.In his heart, Shen Mu is a brother, even if he recruits a family member, even if the child is named Shen, but in his heart, compared to his grandson Shen Gouzi who is a boy, he is not considered the incense of their old Shen family.It's all Shen Mu's tricks.
These rural men don't care about the continuation of the incense.Although the old man Shen was selfish, he also wanted to preserve his own incense - anyway, he was spending Shen Mu's money to let Shen Mu, a brother, raise Shen Gouzi.
Shen Mu was about to laugh angrily, let him raise Shen's second son's son?The son who killed his father and enemy?I'm afraid old man Shen is too old to be delirious, is he crazy?
"Shen Gouzi is only one year younger than me." Shen Mu said directly to the old village chief: "It's not that I don't give him a pension, I pay two taels of silver every year, which was agreed before. They can't do it either. Are you trying to pluck the wool of my sheep? Don’t you want to pluck me bald?”
The old village chief frowned: "What are you talking about, it's your master!"
Although Shen Mu closed his mouth, the expression on his face couldn't hide his dissatisfaction.The old village head was also a little troubled. He had been relatively fair and just in the village all his life, and he had stood out for Shen Mu before.But he is also a person who grew up under the feudal ideology, and filial piety is deeply rooted in his bones.
It's not that he wants to favor Old Man Shen, but he just thinks that this is right: "Although we talked about it before, but now that Second Shen has run away, you can't watch your master starve to death, right? Shen Gouzi I should serve your father, but Shen Gouzi has no money now, so you should go out first. It will be deducted from next year's pension money."
The old village chief glanced at Shen Mu. Once he said something, it was not a discussion with Shen Mu, but a decision made by him. "Brother Mu, you can think clearly, it's about your father entering the ancestral hall."
There was something threatening about that.
Shen Mu was not happy, neither were old man Shen and old lady Shen.Although this was his original plan, he later fantasized about Shen Mu serving him, and these benefits could not satisfy their desires.
Shen Mu and his men went up the mountain twice in three days, and rented an ox cart to go to the county town, so they must have made a living.Two taels of silver would be less!They also want to make ox carts to go to the county often!
But the old village head had already spoken, and no matter how many thoughts Old Shen had, he didn't dare to express them.
that is the truth.Although it is full of injustice, sitting in the position of the village head, what the old village head has to consider is not entirely fairness, but the peace and atmosphere of the village, so that every household can live on.In the past, when Shen Mu was in trouble, he would help Shen Mu.Now that old man Shen really couldn't survive, he naturally couldn't ignore it.
The old village chief glanced at Shen Qingshan.His son generally did a good job, but he took right and wrong too seriously.There is a saying that be forgiving and forgiving, and life in the village is like this.
Shen Mu didn't speak, didn't move, and didn't take money.It's just that the eye circles are getting redder and redder, and tears slowly accumulate in the big eyes.
Liu looked at her son distressedly, and mustered up the courage to say: "Old village chief..."
"Boy Wen, daughter-in-law, you are allowed to come in and listen to the men talking, but you are not allowed to interrupt." The old village chief didn't raise his eyes.
Liu said unwillingly: "The reason why the family was separated back then, you also know the inside story..."
"Get out."
Liu Shi clenched her sleeves tightly and dared not speak.He didn't really go out, but stood behind Shen Mu and tugged on his son's sleeve.
In Liu's heart, this matter is irreversible.Fortunately, they didn't suffer a big loss. The old village head didn't really let them take care of Old Man Shen and Dog Shen.It's just taking the money out half a year in advance, and there is no real loss.
It's just disgusting.
But in this case, he had to bow his head.Liu said in a low voice, "He who understands current affairs is a hero."
Shen Mu closed his eyes, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
He also knew that the old village chief's ruling was not a loss to his family.But as the saying goes, if you don't fight for steamed buns, he will be unfair!
He had thought of this step when he signed the document, and deliberately wrote it clearly in black and white.But when things come to an end, I still have to hold back my breath.
It made his heart ache.
Song Bai looked at Shen Mu and then at Liu Shi, and he didn't quite understand why they were so powerful when they were pinching old man Shen, but they were so helpless when facing the old village chief.
Song Bai's father came to Xing'an County alone to hire his mother, without any relatives.As far as he could remember, their family had already lived in the county seat, and they seldom went back to the village.So Song Bai knew nothing about the power of the clan.
But he watched quietly for a long time, and he probably knew it in his heart.
Song Bai stepped forward, protecting Shen Mu and Liu Shi behind his back: "Old village chief, I have something to say."
The old village chief frowned, "You're a recruited man, and you don't have a place to speak. Shut up."
Song Bai: ...
Song Bai:? ? ?
Can't even talk to the recruiter? ?Are there any human rights anymore? ? QQ
"It's not that we are cruel to embarrass the children, but the boss insisted on separating from us because of that bastard Liu, and he even gave up his parents because of a wife.
