The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 416: The Strong-willed Old Man

Miss Wang was extremely angry. She slapped Shi Jianan in the face and left angrily.

Shi Jianan: “…”

The Wang family and the matchmaker left with a wry smile.

Shi Jianan turned around and slapped Shi Mingchen in the face, angrily scolding him, "Little bastard, do you know how much effort your second uncle and I put in to help you find a good girl and for your future?

You put on a shameless smile and went around trying to establish a relationship with someone we didn't even bother to look at before. You gave the matchmaker two thousand taels of silver to get him an appointment. Is this how you waste the efforts of me and your second uncle?"

Rong quickly stood between the father and son, fearing that they would fight, and asked anxiously, "Mingchen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?

"Master, don't just blame the child because you've lost face. You should ask him what's wrong with him. Didn't you see he's vomiting again and his face is as white as paper? Don't just scold the child, do something serious!"

Shi Mingchen shook his head.

He wanted to explain something.

But I can't explain it.

Say what?

Did he say how he looked down on Xie Qingdai and treated her harshly in his dream or in his previous life?

Did he say that he felt the way his parents looked at him was exactly the same as the way the dog owners, sow owners, and stud owners on the street looked at him?

He is a beast.

No! He is worse than a beast!

Shi Jianan was embarrassed after hearing his wife's scolding. Seeing Shi Mingchen's dead look, he could not help but point at his nose and scold:

"What else could it be? Look at him, he thinks he is superior to others. He has always looked down on the Xie family because they are merchants and the Xie family girl because she is a merchant's daughter.

After all, the Xie family was a wealthy merchant family that rivaled a country, and they were well-known to the emperor. Now the Xie family was a new noble in the court, and his sister was transporting grain and grass. If one person succeeded, the whole family would benefit!

This girl from the Wang family is not as good as Miss Xie or Miss Du. He despises her because she is of low status and is not worthy of him? You little bastard, open your eyes and look at how poor our family is now! We are poor!

Your father is no longer an official appointed by the imperial court. Our family was almost beheaded. Even if the emperor thinks of our Shi family, it is because we are only one step away from treason! No matter how self-important you are, you are nothing!"

When Shi Jianan said this, his eyes turned red with anger.

Although he was a useless person, he was born into a noble family and lived a life of wealth and honor for half his life, but ended up like this when he was old.

Even a small county magistrate dared to look down on him!

Shi Yao has never returned to Jinling in the past six years, nor has she come to support them.

Rong was too lazy to pay attention to him.

You won’t know unless you encounter setbacks, but all the men in the Shi family are cowards.

The second master has become much more listless, and the first, second and third houses all rely on women like these to keep them afloat.

Rong took Shi Mingchen away, leaving Shi Jianan alone to complain.

On the way home, she saw that her son looked much better, so she asked softly, "Mingchen, what happened to you today?"

Do you really dislike Miss Wang?

He had always disliked Xie Qingdai, and from Shi Mingzhu, she learned to what extent her son disliked Xie Qingdai.

She thought that after six years of raising her son, he should understand some things.

Ever since Shi Mingchen told Rong about his troubles and tried to show his affection to Shi Yao, but was scolded by Rong, he never dared to tell Rong about his troubles again.

This time, it is no different.

Shi Mingchen still shook his head silently.

Back at the house where the third roommate currently lives, Shi Mingmo was chopping wood.

In fact, after the mourning period, life did not have to be so hard. The property that the third room had received was enough to provide their descendants with a luxurious life for several generations.

But Shi Mingmo got used to life in the mountains and insisted on chopping wood every day - otherwise he would be idle and gradually become useless.

The people in the old house in Jinling hated them for destroying the chastity arch that had been passed down in the Shi family for a hundred years. It became difficult for the sons and girls in the family to get married, so they spread the news that he was infertile and his wife had run away.

Therefore, when his second uncle wanted to help him find a job in the government, he flatly refused.

Seeing the mother and son looking frustrated, Shi Mingmo put down his axe, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "How is Seventh Brother's marriage?"

Rong shook his hand at him, signaling him not to ask.

Shi Mingchen entered the room alone, and Rong then briefly explained what happened: "...she stretched out her hand and slapped your father! She is the daughter of a minor official, she has not learned the rules and etiquette well, she is not even as good as our maids. Fortunately, I didn't marry her, otherwise wouldn't I have married a troublemaker?"

Shi Mingmo was speechless.

A girl's reputation is precious. If the seventh brother's incident gets out, Miss Wang will have trouble finding a husband in the future. No wonder people are angry.

I guess he wanted to hit Lao Qi, who was vomiting at the time? The slap landed on his father's face.

"Mother, how about I adopt an orphan from my tribe and raise him under my wing?" Shi Mingmo said hesitantly.

The seventh brother has a weird temper. After this incident, he doesn’t know when he can get married. Even if he does, he will have to wait several more years for her to have three children and then give one to him for adoption.

Moreover, the seventh son’s wife may not be willing to be adopted.

According to his sisters-in-law, he had adopted children from his fourth brother's family in his previous two lives, but neither of them ended up well.

It would be better to adopt an orphan without a father or a mother, which would be a more peaceful life.

——No matter whether he has roots or not, no matter whether he can have children or not, a man’s most persistent wish is to leave a descendant. Without a son, his life will be incomplete and he will not be able to hold his head up. When he dies, no one will visit his grave to burn incense and he will become a lonely ghost.

When Rong heard this, he became so anxious that blisters appeared on his mouth.

She didn't want to work hard all her life and leave the money to the wild child, so she comforted Shi Mingmo with a few words, and then she became even more anxious to find a wife for Shi Mingchen.

The Shi family had no shortage of money and spent a lot of it, but with Miss Wang's experience in the past, everyone was cautious and insisted on meeting Shi Mingchen as well.

Shi Mingchen thought about Xie Qingdai in his dream, and about stud horses, stud pigs, stud rabbits, and stud dogs. The more he looked at them, the more physically uncomfortable he felt.

He could only endure it and not vomit in front of others, because there would be no more to say. He performed poorly every time and his reputation in the blind date world was getting worse and worse.

Everyone said that he looked down on people from the small place of Jinling and wanted to marry a girl from a wealthy and powerful family, so he was extremely dissatisfied with the families he was dating.

Gradually, the threshold for blind dates became lower and lower. In the end, Rong didn't even care about the butcher's daughter, as long as her son liked her.

After all, my son doesn't like her. If I marry her but don't spend the wedding night with her, wouldn't it be a waste of marriage?

Finally one day, no matter how good-tempered Rong was, she was so angry that she wanted to beat him. Shi Mingchen begged with red eyes: "Mother, please give me two years. I am suffering."

Rong Shi suppressed his frantic heart and asked, "What are you upset about?"

Getting married is a blessing, how can it be painful?

It really pissed her off!

Shi Mingchen had no choice but to tell him about his nightmare and his resistance to studs.

Rong was shocked and wanted to scold him, but she realized in time that she was pushing him too hard, so she said, "Okay, I won't push you. Next month, Ling Yun will go to the capital to express his gratitude. You can go with him to relax."
