The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 57 It Will Only Be Better Than Now

Shen's mother continued, "Your father and I are still able to move, and we have good arms and legs. Xiuxiu is not married yet, so she can't live with any of you. We will live on our own, and Laowu and Xiuxiu will live with us."

"As for the rooms at home, your father and I will take the two rooms we have now. You three families have the same number of children, so the eldest child will get two rooms, the second child will get two rooms, and the fourth child will also get two rooms. As for the fifth child, he lives in one room now, and the room that Xiuxiu lives in will also be yours in the future, but you can't let Xiuxiu move out now."

Shen Zhenjiang would definitely not do that. "Mom, I won't. Just let Xiuxiu live here. There's no need to move. Xiuxiu will also have her own room when she gets married."

"Okay. There's only one kitchen, you can use it for the next few days. Then find some time to buy a stove and pot and start cooking."

"As for the private plot, you can pick a small piece to plant. The rest belongs to me and your father. I will plant the fifth child's share first."

"Ping An, Ping An's family, is there anything left? Do you need anything else? Grandpa, grandma, do you two want to add anything?"

The old lady was over 70 years old, but she was in high spirits. "Jinhua, you forgot to tell me about the annual tribute. You haven't distributed the grain yet."

"Mom, I remember that. I was just about to say that our family has 150 kilograms of coarse grains, 10 kilograms of white flour, 5 kilograms of rice, and 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes... These are divided equally among each family. As for annual filial piety, we will follow the village's rules. Each family should give me and your father 10 yuan, which is 100 kilograms of grain."

When Boss Shen heard that he had to give so much, he disagreed at first, "Mom, do you want to give so much? Can you give less?"

Shen Zhenjiang pointed at Boss Shen and started to say, "Do you still have any shame? Your parents raised you in vain. You should have some shame."

The village chief glanced at Boss Shen and said, "Zhenchang, what your mother said is relatively small. Now the village only gives 10 yuan for 200 kilograms of food. Don't be ungrateful."

Xiao Baoer pulled Shen Zhensheng and signaled him with his eyes. Shen Zhensheng said, "Captain uncle, village chief uncle, grandpa and grandma, parents, Baoer and I don't have jobs, so we can't share the food, and we can't give food to parents. I will give 30 yuan every year as a filial piety. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Shen's mother said hurriedly, "Third brother, you don't work, so you don't need to pay so much a year. 20 yuan is enough. You still have three children to support. You can't rely solely on your wife to make money."

Xiao Baoer, who was teasing her son, couldn't hide when she heard her being mentioned.

"Mom, this is what Zhensheng and I mean by being together. Don't worry, we can afford to raise the child. We won't mistreat your eldest grandson. We will only live better than we do now."

The captain cast an admiring look at Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng, then looked at the eldest brother and his wife, lamenting that it was too shameful to watch.

"Ping An, you two should just accept it. Your son is different. It doesn't matter if someone doesn't want to take it. Zhensheng and his wife are filial and I think they are capable people. You two should not refuse."

The captain comforted Shen's father and mother.

"Okay, I've finished writing this. Please take a look and see if there are any questions. If not, please put your fingerprints on it and your division will be completed. Make three copies, and keep one copy in the village for record."

Both Shen's father and mother said no, and no one else raised any objections.

But Wang Xiang suddenly stood up and said in a shrill voice, "The family hasn't been divided yet, and the work hasn't been discussed yet."

The village chief asked in confusion, "What kind of work is this? What kind of work is this?"

The situation was too chaotic just now and Li Changhe didn't know about Shen Laowu's work.

Wang Xiang started to cry and started to perform, "Hey, Captain uncle, you don't know how partial my parents are. They used the public school's money to buy a job for their old son."

Shen's mother came forward and slapped her, knocking her to the ground. "Mom, why did you hit me? I said you were right. You are so angry because of shame."

"Who told you that your father and I bought the job for Lao Wu? You're saying that your father and I are partial. Do you feel guilty? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you to death."

The eldest brother Shen also argued with Shen's mother, "Mom, why are you not partial? Why did you give the job to the fifth brother? He is still so young and has a chance. This job should be given to me."

"Why should I give it to you? The fourth child in our family is a good person and smart, so she deserves to be my man." Li Sanni was not convinced and kept talking nonsense.

Father Shen glanced at the greedy faces of the first and fourth wives, his eyes full of disappointment, and said, "This job belongs to the fifth wife, and none of you can leave."

"Dad, you said you weren't partial, so why did you give it to the fifth child? I'm the eldest, so it should be given to me. Dad, I'm going to take care of you in your old age. How can I take care of you if I don't have money?"

Boss Shen is still using his status as the eldest son as an excuse.

Shen Zhenjiang was not someone who would let him off. "Boss Shen, stop talking nonsense. Your parents and grandparents know exactly who you are. They no longer count on you for their retirement. I paid for this job, why should I give it to you?"

"You paid? Don't say that Big Brother looks down on you. I know how much money you have. Can you afford it? Your parents must have paid for it."

Shen Zhensheng suddenly spoke up, "I lent it to Lao Wu, is there a problem? My wife asked someone to get him the job, I borrowed the money, and I helped him get the job. If you have any opinions, tell me, and stop spitting dirt and slandering our parents."

"Third brother, I am your eldest brother, you have to give it to me first, how could you do this?"

Xiao Baoer laughed when she heard his words, "Brother, you think too much. Don't say you are the eldest brother. Just because your family abuses my son, it doesn't matter if you are the king or the father. Even if this job is not Lao Wu's, I will definitely not give it to you even if I sell it back."

"It has nothing to do with you, bitch. You have no say."

"My wife said what I said. I listen to my wife. I can't give you this job. Just give up."

The captain stood up and said, "Okay, it's settled. Press your fingerprints."

Shen Zhenjiang pressed the fingerprints without hesitation, and then it was the second son's family's turn. The first and fourth wives were reluctant but had no choice. Finally, Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng pressed their fingerprints.

After the village cadres left, my uncle and grandparents also went back. The people in several families of the family were dividing the food, so Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng went back.

Then Xiao Baoer went to cook. Damei and Ermei wanted to leave and refused to stay for dinner. Xiao Baoer took two apples from the cupboard and gave them to them. The two sisters went home happily. They were going to take the apples back for their parents and their younger brothers and sisters to eat.

Xiao Baoer was cooking in the kitchen. Shen Zhensheng followed and hugged Xiao Baoer from behind. "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"Not really, I just feel a little uncomfortable when I mention the past again. It's okay, wife, we can just live our lives behind closed doors from now on."

Xiao Baoer turned around and touched his face. "Husband, you are right to think this way. You have a wife and a son, and our family has money and things. You don't have to worry about anything. If you feel uncomfortable, the worst that can happen is that you can take care of your parents more in the future and fulfill your filial piety as a son."

"Well, thank you, wife, thank you for understanding me."

"Okay, stop whining and help me cook. This is the pheasant you shot earlier. I put it in the space. Go boil some water and cook the pheasant. I'll make some more delicious food today to comfort you."

Shen Zhensheng kissed his wife on the face and said, "Wife, when our son takes a nap in the afternoon, shall we go into the space again?"

Xiao Baoer was busy cutting vegetables and replied, "Yes, I think the fruits on the trees are ripe. I'm going to check the quantity and then sell them."

Shen Zhensheng leaned close to Xiao Baoer's ear and said, "Go into the space a few more times in the afternoon, and leave the fruit picking to me."
