Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Sheng Xuan saw Xiao Lan leave, and his expression did not improve. He did not ask about Sheng Kai's injuries and grievances, but directly asked, "Second brother, is this how you walked back from the ranch?"

When Sheng Kai heard Sheng Xuan ask him this, he knew that something was wrong, but he still responded, "Old Third, you don't know how I have been living these days. I have no food to eat, no drink to drink, no clothes to wear... If you don't come back, I will let the two brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe kill me." Sheng Kai then exaggerated how the two brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe treated their family, and how the two brothers beat him. "Old Third, the two brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe abused me so much, which is obviously not taking you seriously... You have to make the decision for me, we can't tolerate such people showing off their power."

Sheng Xuan stared at Sheng Kai with a dark face, but couldn't say a word.

Xiaowen knew that his father was furious. Sheng Xuan was like that. When he was furious, he couldn't say a word.

Xiao Wen listened to Sheng Kai's words expressionlessly, and then asked, "Did the two brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe rob your house? The food and cloth you brought when you moved are all there, how come you don't have food or clothes? It's only been a few days? Have you used up all these things?"

Sheng Kai saw Xiao Wen asking this question, and then looked at Sheng Xuan's face, which was particularly ugly. He wanted to say that everything was gone. But when he saw Sheng Xuan's look, he didn't dare to say anything nonsense...

"People need dignity, trees need bark. Others wear nice clothes when they go out... but look at what you look like now! You don't wear nice clothes, but you dress like this on purpose. Who are you showing off to? Don't you feel ashamed or embarrassed?" Sheng Xuan finally exploded. This was the most annoying thing for Sheng Xuan, so his words were full of anger.

Sheng Kai was frightened by Sheng Xuan and he couldn't help but shrink back.

"Did you go out fooling around again and owe others money? Then the brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe stopped you from gambling... You are already an adult, can you stand up for yourself? How can others respect you if you act like this all day long?" Sheng Xuan said with great sorrow, "People stopped you from gambling, but you still messed with them and wanted to beat them... Do you think you are acting like this? Who is a decent person like you? You are also old, why do you act like this..."

"You are such a disgrace. It's fine if you came back quietly, but you still don't stop. You even pretend to be sick, making a lot of noise in the surrounding villages. Do you think you are capable? You are really embarrassing. Do you know that?" Sheng Xuan scolded.

"Were you really beaten, or are you pretending to be sick? I'll call a doctor right now to treat you properly! It will be clear at a glance whether it's a real injury or a fake one, so you don't have to accuse me of disregarding our brotherly relationship!"

When Sheng Kai heard what Sheng Xuan said, his head drooped, and he was no longer complacent. He did fall, but his skin was not even scratched. He was pretending to be sick. He wanted to dress up in a messy way so that Sheng Xuan would talk to him, but he had never thought about hurting himself. Even if he wanted to, he would never do it to himself.

Sheng Xuan had no idea what Sheng Kai looked like. He knew that he had pretended to be injured. "So? Do you want to see a doctor? I've already lost face, so I don't care if I lose face again! I have to get to the bottom of this today."

Sheng Kai lowered his head but remained silent.

"What's the matter? Have you thought about it?" After a while, Sheng Xuan saw that Sheng Kai didn't say anything, so he asked him again.

"Third brother," Sheng Kai licked his cheek and raised his head, "Look, Dajiang and the others are watching over my husband and me like prisoners. We can't go out anywhere... We are like being in prison..." As Sheng Kai spoke, he became more and more righteous.

"Why do they control you? It's because you go out to gamble!" Sheng Xuan looked at Sheng Kai angrily and said, "If you want others to respect you, then do something that suits your status!"

At this time, Shen, who had been silent all this time, said, "He gambled, but I didn't do anything! So why is he watching over me like this?"

Sheng Kai turned around and glared at Shen, thinking that Shen was so stupid as to sell him out like that.

In fact, the two brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe were not as strict as Sheng Kai in watching over Shen. Since Shen came to the ranch, her hobbies had not changed. She still liked to visit other people's homes. She had just arrived at the ranch and was unfamiliar with the people here, but she was very familiar with them. She would rush to open the door of anyone's house, and after entering, she would sit on the kang and couldn't lift her buttocks.

Sometimes, she would not leave until the table was set and the meal was about to begin, or when there was an emergency at home and it was inconvenient for her to be there. Those who were shy and particular about etiquette were too embarrassed to chase her away, and even kept her for dinner when it was time.

Shen was thick-skinned. She would not make a scene unless someone chased her away. Of course, she would not leave even if someone chased her away. When someone just asked her to stay for dinner, she honestly stayed for dinner. Soon, everyone in the ranch knew what kind of person Shen was, and they couldn't help but talk about her behind her back.

Dajiang and Xiaohe also heard the news, so they tightened their watch over Shen. Shen was a person who never knew what was good and what was bad. When people didn't like her, she thought she was very popular. Since she was strictly watched, she felt that her freedom was restricted, even more uncomfortable than when she was in Shengjia Village and making a living under Cui's nose. After all, when she was in Shengjia Village, Cui scolded her, but never stopped her from visiting other people.

Shen Shi could no longer visit people as she pleased, nor could she eat at other people's homes, which made Shen Shi very uncomfortable, so she took the opportunity today to speak out her grievances. She hoped that Sheng Xuan or even Zhang Shi could help her and say something, so that Dajiang and Xiaohe brothers would no longer imprison her.
