After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

When everyone arrived in front of the old lady's carriage, Doctor Gao was taking her pulse.

Shen Jinyao took a look inside and saw that the old lady's face was very pale.

After Doctor Gao finished taking the patient's pulse, he told the Shen family about the situation.

"Let's get the house built quickly, eh..."

When Doctor Gao said this, he was mainly speaking to the three masters of the Shen family and Shen Jinyao.

He also saw the farce just now.

Everyone understood what he meant. Perhaps the old lady didn't have many days left.

Shen Maoshan said in a deep voice: "In that case, prepare everything that needs to be prepared. Everyone else should come and help build the house. Time waits for no one."

At this time, the eldest master Shen Congshan also nodded, no longer having the same momentum as before.

The eldest lady was somewhat unwilling, but the old lady was about to die, and there would be no good result if they continued to argue.

So we can only build the house first and talk about it later.

No one mentioned the matter of dividing the family this time.

Every day, the Shen family members either help with the work or show their filial piety to the old lady.

With so many people working every day, the house is naturally built much faster.

Although the Shen family built four courtyards at the same time and there were quite a few rooms in each courtyard, the materials used were not unusual and were almost the same as those used to build houses for ordinary villagers in the village.

The people in the village gradually understood the Shen family's intention to build a house in a hurry.

So even if no one is watching, no one will slack off.

After all, for an elderly person on his deathbed, being able to walk in his own house is a perfect thing.

The Shen family is not only building houses, but also doing many things at the same time.

Shen Jinyao was almost entirely responsible for purchasing furniture, making clothes and mattresses, and preparing for the old lady's funeral.

At first, no one in the village believed it. How could a teenage girl know so much?

Later they saw several ladies of the Shen family. Two of them were taking care of babies who were in confinement, and another was always quarreling. This matter could only fall on the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Everyone had to go to Shen Jinyao to deal with all their financial expenses. Shen Jinyao would hold a meeting with everyone every day and she required that any matters should be discussed after the house was built.

Sometimes Tingyao would also talk about Jinyao, not understanding why she did this.

"You clearly know that uncle and aunt are not easy to mess with, yet you still go out of your way to cause trouble like this? Do you really think you're the head of the family?"

Shen Tingyao's words were still very harsh, but her original intention was indeed for Shen Jinyao's own good.

After all, they are all from the second house. If the first and third houses insult Shen Jinyao, who in the third house will end up well?

Shen Jinyao said, "I'm not here to be the head of the family."

Shen Tingyao was puzzled, "Then what are you doing?"

Shen Jinyao: "First, for my grandmother, second, for the Shen family, and third, for myself."

Shen Tingyao still didn't understand, but she heard Shen Jinyao continue, "After the house is built, I will hand over the housekeeping power."

It would be best if the division of the family could be successful, as it would be good for both the Shen family and her future.

Shen Tingyao said, "I can understand it for my grandmother. After all, we have to build a house in a hurry."

"Why for the Shen family and you?"

Shen Jinyao didn't answer, but said: "Have you ever thought about how the Shen family will survive if they don't split up? We won't even have money."

Shen Tingyao thought about it and shook her head. She had not thought about this problem, and besides, this problem was not something she needed to worry about.

"Splitting up the family means we really have to start over. Only in this way can everyone work hard to make a living."

Shen Jinyao's words were clear enough. Everyone in the Shen family knew how lazy and gluttonous the eldest master was and how sociable the third master was.

"Then why for yourself?"

Shen Tingyao could barely understand what was just said. But she couldn't understand why it was said to be for Shen Jinyao herself.

This is Shen Jinyao's selfish desire. The third room is easier to deal with.

The eldest branch of the Shen family is the most conservative and feudal. Shen Jinyao wants to be an old maid in the future and live the life she wants.

But with the eldest wife around, these things are simply fantasy.

Shen Jinyao thought for a moment and said, "If the family didn't split up, who would be the most likely steward? Would it still be your mother? If it was the steward of the eldest house, would you have the final say in your marriage?"

Shen Tingyao glared at Shen Jinyao, "You are so shameless, what are you talking about marriage?"

After saying that, he thought carefully about Shen Jinyao's words and felt that they made some sense.

The benefits of dividing the family in this way are highlighted.

Shen Jinyao continued, "Besides, if we don't separate our family in Wuhe Village, we will become a thorn in the eyes of the people here. The Shen family is a wealthy family, and their future will be difficult."

"If I don't do this directly, the Shen family will also score in the end."

What Shen Jinyao said was not wrong, but for various reasons, her actions were a bit decisive.

It saves a lot of intermediate links.

That's why many people rebelled.

After the two sisters had a heart-to-heart talk, Shen Tingyao began to support Shen Jinyao.

He even explained Shen Jinyao's actions to his many brothers and sisters at home. In a word, Shen Jinyao was doing it for the good of the Shen family.

Moreover, Shen Jinyao had discussed this with her grandmother and the third master, and did not act on her own without consulting her elders.

As time passed, the rumors about Shen Jinyao being disrespectful to elders and overbearing gradually disappeared.

The house took a whole month to build, and in the later stages we worked almost every night.

The Shen family would even pay extra wages to let the villagers help meet the deadline.

Some villagers would also call relatives from other villages to help, so when the Shen family was working, there could be hundreds of people working at the same time in a day.

Because Shen Jinyao has high requirements for quality, and with Grandma Zhang and other members of the Shen family supervising the construction, the quality of the house is also good.

That day, the Shen family’s house was finally completed and they moved in the first day.

There are four courtyards in total, one courtyard for the old lady and each family.

Living with the old lady were Doctor Zongcheng Gao and others.

The old lady's health was getting worse, but when she moved to the yard today, she actually seemed to be in better spirits.

Not only did he have more strength to speak, he even ate half a bowl of rice more.

Everyone thought that this was the joy of moving that cured the problem, after all, life is short.

So the Shen family decided to treat the villagers to a banquet the next day. At that time, they had just a simple meal because they had to meet the deadline to put up the beams.

In the evening, the Shen family sat together, discussing tomorrow's banquet.

Unexpectedly, before the discussion even started, the eldest lady suggested that the division of the family be clarified first.

"Second brother, now that the house is built, let's talk about dividing the family property."

But before Shen Maoshan could say anything, Shen Jinyao stood up.

"Father, Mother. Jin'er's mission has been completed. From now on, I will be the eldest daughter of the Shen family."

"what?"

Shen Jinyao's meaning was very clear, which meant that she no longer wanted to be the head of this family.
