No matter how Shen Mingkuan made a fuss, Old Man Shen remained unmoved.

That night, Shen Mingkuan was desperate and decided to take all of the Shen family's property before the family was divided.

What he didn't expect was that Old Lady Shen was very alert when she slept. Not only did Shen Mingkuan fail to get the money, but he was also hit on the leg by Old Lady Shen.

He was so scared that he pissed his pants and ran out of the main house with a scream.

Shen Mingkuan's screams woke up Old Man Shen. Old Man Shen saw Old Lady Shen standing at the door with a stick in her hand and looked out the window immediately.

Under the moonlight, a hurriedly fleeing figure limped into Shen Mingkuan's house. He had a guess in his mind and quickly stood up to ask Old Mrs. Shen what was going on.

Old Lady Shen snorted coldly and said angrily: "You can't prevent a thief in your own home, what else can happen? Can't you tell who that figure is?"

Old man Shen was so angry that his beard was shaking. He grabbed the stick and was about to go out and beat someone up. "This beast actually did such a stealing thing. I have raised him for nothing for so many years."

He was so angry that he stood up and walked out, but was grabbed by Old Lady Shen, who finally said bitterly:

"Scum, there is a scum in the Shen family! It's my fault, it's all my fault!"

Old Lady Shen took the stick from Old Man Shen, patted him gently on the back, and advised:

"This is not your fault. We have done our best for this family. Since they are so unfilial, we should not show mercy."

The next day, before dawn, Shen Lao Er went to the town to call back Shen Lao Da. Along the way, Shen Lao Da had a gloomy face and cursed the Shen family in his heart.

Now he not only hated the third and second Shen Lao Er, but even the two elders of the Shen family were jealous of him.

"Shen Lao San, it's all because of you, the jinx. If it weren't for you, how could the family be divided now? It's all my fault that I spared your life out of consideration for our brotherhood."

Shen Lao Er turned his head and asked in confusion: "Brother, what were you talking about just now?"

"Nothing, let's go!"

Shen Lao Er stopped and looked at the back of Shen Lao Da, his heart was filled with turmoil.

What did the boss say just now? Spare his life for the sake of brotherhood? Shen Lao San?

Shen Laoer shuddered. The eldest brother was so scary that he actually wanted to kill the third brother.

The eldest Shen thought that his voice was soft and the second Shen didn't hear what he just said. However, he didn't know that during this period, Shen Mingzhu added spiritual spring water and ear and eye brightening medicine to the water tank at home, which greatly enhanced the vision and hearing of the second Shen.

What Boss Shen just said was heard clearly by Boss Shen No. 2.

Shen Lao Er thought the eldest brother was too scary!

For so many years, was the eldest brother's brotherly love all a fake? What happened to the third brother? What did he do to offend the third brother?

Shen Laoer returned to the Shen family with a lot of questions in his mind. As soon as he entered the house, he noticed that the atmosphere at home was not right. He didn't say anything, but walked straight to stand beside Old Lady Shen.

As soon as Shen Mingzhu entered the main hall, she noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was extremely cold today. Everyone had a stern look on their faces and was silent.

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen sat in the main seats and looked around. Seeing that everyone was present, Old Man Shen's eyes stayed on Shen Mingkuan's legs for a moment before he said to everyone:

"Everyone is here today, eldest brother. I asked the second brother to call you back today because of the division of the family property. Yesterday, I asked the villagers to bring a letter to the third brother and Mingjun. They will be back soon."

"The village chief and the elders will surely be here soon."

Boss Shen was so anxious that he was about to cry. He questioned Old Man Shen with a sad face:

"Dad, how could you do this? Mingkuan and Mingjun are about to take the imperial examination, Mingjun is at the critical juncture of finding a marriage, and Mingkuan's wife is about to give birth. How can you split up the family at this time?"

Old man Shen got angry instantly and slammed the table angrily:

"Why can't we split up now? Is it necessary to split up sooner or later? I raised you three brothers, sent my two eldest grandsons to school for so many years, and found a wife for my eldest grandson. What else do you want from me?"

"It's not enough to raise you. Do you still want us two old guys to work like slaves for your whole family?"

Old man Shen raised his voice with such force that Boss Shen was frightened and trembled, looking at his father in disbelief.

No, this is not his father. His father would not treat him like this.

He wanted to argue a few more words, but at this time, the elders of the Shen family and the village chief came in. Boss Shen quickly changed his expression and warmly greeted the village chief and the elders.

The village chief Shen Rujie helped the third uncle, who was the oldest and most senior member of the clan, into the house. Old man Shen hurriedly stood up to greet him and helped the third uncle into the house.

"Uncle San, Uncle Liu, Cousin, please sit here."

The four of them were invited to sit in the middle of the main hall. Before the village chief and others could ask, Old Man Shen told them the purpose of today.

"I invited everyone here today because of my family's division. I would like to trouble you to be witnesses for us."

"Dad, we can't divide it. We can't divide the family!"

Boss Shen and Mrs. Li shouted loudly. They were so anxious that they didn't care about anything else and immediately stopped the division.

"Grandpa, we can't split up the family! Grandpa, don't abandon us."

Shen Mingkuan and Shen Mingzi also requested at the same time, especially Shen Mingzi, who pretended to be pitiful, but thought in her heart that this family must not be divided before she met the son of Fenyang Marquis.

The original novel did not mention the division of the Shen family. If the family was divided now and the trajectory of fate was changed, would she be able to meet the son of Marquis Fenyang? Would she still be able to become the wife of Marquis Fenyang?

Old Man Shen ignored the people from the big house. He poured tea for the village chief and the elders, sat back in his seat, sighed, and said:

"When a tree grows big, it branches out; when a person grows big, he or she divides into families. Now that our grandchildren are about to be born, we two old guys are getting old too. It's time to divide the family."

The village chief had heard about what had happened in the Shen family in recent days, but he did not stop old man Shen.

He believed that Old Man Shen was the only scholar in the village and was smarter than him. Since Old Man Shen had made the decision, he could not say anything.

The village chief even thought that it would be better for the Shen family to split up. But would the elders agree?

The village chief looked at his father. His father and Old Man Shen’s father were cousins. His father was Old Man Shen’s uncle within the fifth degree of mourning. Could his father, such a stubborn old man, agree to the division of the Shen family?

The oldest elder here, Uncle San, asked Old Man Shen:

"Third brother, have you made up your mind? If we split up, we will no longer be a family. Are you willing to let it go?"

Seeing this, Boss Shen hurriedly said, "That's right! Dad, if we split up the family, we will no longer be a family. Please don't split up the family! I haven't paid my respects to you two yet!"

Old man Shen snorted coldly, "Humph, you are always good at pretending."

Boss Shen touched his nose and winked at Li.

Li immediately understood what Boss Shen meant and started crying. Seeing this, everyone in the first house hurriedly spoke up to plead for mercy.

Especially Shen Mingzi, holding a handkerchief, said with a pitiful look:

"Grandpa, don't you want Mingzi anymore? Grandpa, grandma, please don't split up the family! Mingzi will definitely be filial to grandpa and grandma in the future."

Old Lady Shen couldn't stand Shen Mingzi's green tea bitch look. Why pretend? If you want to pretend, you should pretend to be more realistic!

She was wiping her non-existent tears with a handkerchief, as if she thought someone would pity her.

If you don’t like it, just speak up. Old Lady Shen said coldly:

"What filial piety? You brought back old fabrics and asked me to spend money on new fabrics, and you accused me of taking advantage of my in-laws?"

"A filial son who asks me for money every time he comes back?"

"Taking away all the delicious food and drinks at home, living a carefree life in the town with your family, while letting your elderly parents at home eat wild vegetable porridge, is this filial piety?"

Old Mrs. Shen asked three questions in a row, leaving the people in the Shen family's main branch speechless.

Boss Shen reacted the fastest. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground with a thump. He cried:

"Mother! My dear mother! You are pushing me to death! You can't wrongly accuse your son!"

Boss Shen was sweating profusely and was really crying in anxiety.

How did the old woman reveal all these things? Can these things be told to outsiders?

If people outside knew that this was how they treated their parents over the years, would their family still be able to survive in Wuxi County?

A drop of spit would drown the eldest family.

When Boss Shen started crying like this, the people in the first wife's house started crying even louder, and the Shen family became a mess for a while.

Old Mrs. Shen was almost fed up with it. She was ready to cut the Gordian knot and divide the family property quickly, but at this moment, a group of people hurried in from outside.

There were more than a dozen people in this group, all holding big knives. They looked like they were not to be trifled with, and they rushed in with ferocious looks.

The leader swaggered in from the bustling crowd. As soon as he came in, his eyes fell on Shen Mingkuan. Shen Mingkuan was so scared that his body trembled and he quickly hid behind Li.

When Shen Mingzhu saw Shen Mingkuan's actions, she called him a "coward" with disdain and prepared to watch the show.
