After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 103 Old Lady Shen Comes to the House

When the carriage stopped outside the crowd, Shen Tang could already hear Old Lady Shen crying.

"Dashan, I am your biological mother! You have severed your relationship with Dahe, but not with me!"

"Now that Dahe and the others have gone to serve in the army, Mom can't eat or sleep well over there. You should bring her over to live with you."

When the people around saw Shen Tang coming, they took the initiative to make way for him.

"The boss is here, the boss is here."

Old Mrs. Shen saw Shen Tang visibly flinch.

This damn girl, didn’t she go to town today? How come she came back so soon?

"Dashan, please say something. Your father passed away early, and your mother hasn't had a good life these past few years. I've watched people buried up to their necks in the earth. Are you so cruel?"

"I know I said things I shouldn't have said before, but it was out of concern for you! You're the eldest son, so I have to be strict with you so you can support the family."

Old Mrs. Shen's clothes were covered in dust, there were clear tear marks on her wrinkled face, and her hair was messy. She looked quite pitiful.

"Shen Tang, I'm your grandmother! You just became an official, and you've already thrown your elders aside. It wouldn't be good if people accused you of being unfilial.

"Don't worry, I'll move in and take care of the housework for you. Grandma is old, but her mind is not confused. She can also help you with the accounts. You are still a little young to take care of those two girls."

Old Mrs. Shen kept talking to herself, becoming more and more excited.

The abacus beads fell on her face.

"There's no need to check the accounts. I'm afraid that by then all the money will be gone. As for you wanting to move back, I still say the same thing. Just return the pension money you had before."

"Shen Tang!"

Old Mrs. Shen was furious.

"You're not short of money now, yet you're still eyeing that meager pension. You're being unfilial! I'm going to sue you!"

Old Mrs. Shen had been standing at the door of the workshop for a long time, and no matter what she said, Shen Dashan and his wife remained indifferent.

"It was my second aunt who asked you to come, right?"

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she did not admit it, but asked:

"Since you are now an official, and I heard you are quite capable, then get your second uncle out. It's just a matter of a word, and you are so heartless. How could my Shen family produce someone like you?"

"And Awen, he was a good student before. Now that you are quite capable, you can arrange a small official position for him as well."

Old Mrs. Shen was still counting on her fingers as she continued to talk, but the expressions of the people around her changed.

Especially Shen Lizheng and several elders who rushed over were so angry when they heard this.

"Why don't you take him away? We may just hear this in the village now, but if it gets out, Shen Tang might lose the title he just got."

Village Chief Shen gathered the young and middle-aged men in the village and carried Old Lady Shen away directly.

When Old Mrs. Shen was being taken away, she was still yelling.

Shen Tang listened to Old Lady Shen's voice gradually fading away, his eyes turning cold.

Wang must have been involved in this matter. Even if Wang was not involved, Shen Dahe must have been involved.

After all, Old Lady Shen has always been a selfish person. If she just asked Shen Dashan to take her in to take care of her in her old age, it would be understandable, but she actually asked her to rescue her. This must have been instigated by the second wife.

When Old Lady Shen returned to the second room, Wang came out to greet her. When she saw her being carried here, she knew that the plan had failed.

"I think this matter is over. I know that the boss's family is heartless."

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the second son's wife coming out and went straight to the point.

She couldn't even move into her eldest son's house, but she was still thinking about saving her second son. Old Mrs. Shen began to regret that she shouldn't have listened to her second son's wife.

You should let yourself move in first, and then consider rescuing him.

Wang Shi saw that Old Lady Shen looked unhappy, so she stopped asking and turned around and said with a smile:

"Mom, we've harvested a lot of grain. I've already contacted the grain dealer. Let's sell some and give them some money to help with the business. That way, Dashan and Awen can live a more comfortable life."

Old Lady Shen frowned and cursed:

"You foolish woman, you're always thinking about squandering the family fortune. The county magistrate said you only need to serve for three years. This money is useless even if you give it to me."

When Wang heard what Old Lady Shen said, she became even more dissatisfied.

Ever since Old Lady Shen took control of the money, Wang had to look at Old Lady Shen's mood before buying anything.

Whenever she wanted to give some to her husband and son, she would be scolded by Old Mrs. Shen.

Even after Shen Tang received the imperial edict yesterday, Old Lady Shen was still cursing God for being blind. Fortunately, she was quick enough to cover Old Lady Shen's mouth.

When she came back this morning, she was ridiculed by Old Mrs. Shen, who said she would go there in the afternoon and enjoy herself soon.

Wang sneaked into Old Lady Shen's room and searched through all of her boxes, but still couldn't find where the one hundred taels of silver were.

"Mom, I have an idea, do you think it's feasible?"

Shen Tao leaned close to Wang and whispered.

"Now that Shen Tang has been conferred the title of Marquis, why should we still pay for Dad's military service? Dad is Shen Tang's second uncle, so just let Dad say a few words. Are you afraid that Dad will suffer?"

Shen Tao’s meaning was simple, and Wang understood it immediately and nodded.

"I'll send the news to your father later."

At the entrance of the workshop.

"The village head has arrived just in time. I have something to say. I know that Shenjia Village is now in the limelight because of my title, but no one in Shenjia Village can act tyrannically because of this.

We should be more humble and polite, and let people know that our Shenjia Village is not a group of people who bully others by taking advantage of their power.

If anyone from the clan takes advantage of my name and acts recklessly, not only will the clan rules not forgive him, but I will not let him go either. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."

Shen Tang understood that a tall tree attracts the wind, and no matter what she took out in the future, it would be something that would make people excited and jealous.

If she doesn't restrain her tribesmen, she will definitely be affected.

It would be better to set some rules to constrain things so that there will be fewer troubles in the future.

Shen Lizheng and the elders of the village also had the same idea. In the past two days, some young and energetic people in the village have indeed become more and more arrogant.

After Shen Tang entered the room, everyone dispersed.

Shen Lizheng summoned several elders to discuss the supplementation of clan rules.

Shen Tang returned to the house, sat down and rested for a while, then spoke to Shen Dashan.

"Dad, starting tomorrow, we'll plow those two acres of paddy fields, clean them up, and start storing water."

Shen Dashan didn't understand.

"I'll also announce this in two days. Also, Dad, organize some people to come to our house tomorrow to distribute the rice. Each family will receive one pound of rice."

Since she is responsible for all matters related to rice, she should distribute the seeds first.

Liu and Shen Qingqing have been busy shopping in town these past two days.

This is not an ordinary banquet as before. This is the banquet for my daughter to become a marquis, so it must be grand!
