After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 69 Shen Tang is in charge

"Good words and virtuous deeds, a gentleman is like Heng. How about calling him Yizhi from now on?"

Yi, this word means beautiful and precious.

Shen Tang looked at Master Li and happily agreed.

Shen Tang was the smartest student Master Li had ever seen. Li Village and Shen Village were not far apart, and he had heard about Shen Tang's affairs.

He was smart since childhood, but when he fell ill, he became as stupid as a child.

But one day he was clear-headed and even more conscious than before.

Yizhi also brought Master Li's sincere wishes.

By the time all the processes were completed, an hour had passed.

The banquet was naturally quite good. Liu personally supervised the ceremony and all the guests had a great time.

"I am very happy that you, the villagers, can come to my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Today, I have another announcement to make,"

Shen Dashan stood at the main table holding a wine glass and looked at Liu.

"My little daughter has grown up now, so all matters at home, big or small, will be decided by my daughter Shen Tang from now on."

"We are a couple, and we only have one daughter, Shen Tang. Fortunately, although she is still a girl, she is blessed by God and can now support the family."

Shen Dashan sounded quite proud in his words.

The decision to let Shen Tang be the head of the family was made when Shen Tang earned his first pot of gold.

Later, my daughter set up a workshop, and this idea became stronger and stronger amid the chaos.

Shen Dashan and Liu discussed it a few days ago and announced the news today.

In Da Qi, it was generally the default for the eldest son in the family to take over the family property. If there were no male children in the family, it would usually be taken over by other people from the same paternal clan.

However, in large families, it is one thing for the eldest son to take over by default, but the next head of the family usually has to wait until the previous head of the family lets go before he has a say.

Although there are women who are in charge of the household, they are still a minority in farming families, especially Shen Tang, who is able to become the head of the household right after she came of age.

Fortunately, today's guests are all close relatives of Shen Dashan's family, and they have no doubts about Shen Dashan's decision.

Even if Shen Dashan didn't say it, Shen Tang's means were enough to support a family.

Moreover, since the establishment of the workshop, Shen Tang has already become the boss of the family, and even has a certain weight in the entire Shenjia Village.

Shen Tang was also shocked. She didn't expect that Shen Dashan and Liu would directly let her be the head of the family.

"Dashan, I really envy you!"

"That's right. Everyone in this area knows how capable our niece is."

"If you ask me, I'd like to quit right now, but those useless people at home are of no use right now."

......

Everyone spoke up, most of them supporting, and some even glared at their disappointing sons.

Seeing this, Shen Tang also stood up and raised his glass to his chest.

"Shen Tang is still young. My parents trust me. I will do my best for our little family so that my parents don't have to work so hard anymore."

Having said that, he paused before speaking.

"But Shen Tang also knows that only with a big family can there be a small family. I, Shen Tang, have the surname Shen. All the uncles and aunts in Shenjia Village are my elders.

The Shen family has been helping each other for so many years. Shen Tang is young, and he still needs the guidance of the elders, uncles, and aunts in his future life and work.

Shen Tang, let me toast to you all!

After saying this, he raised his head and drank the cup.

The winemaking technology in ancient times was not well developed, so the alcohol content was not high. However, this body rarely drank alcohol, so Shen Tang's face soon turned slightly red.

Outside the courtyard wall, two people walked slowly.

Shen Dahe supported Old Lady Shen and kept repeating:

"Mom, no matter what, you are Shen Tang's biological grandmother. How can you not invite your grandmother to your granddaughter's coming-of-age celebration? You are the elder of our Shen family!"

"I heard that my sister-in-law started preparing a few days ago and bought a lot of good things from the town. Shen Fugui also sent a lot of pig's trotters!"

As Shen Dahe spoke, he secretly looked at Old Lady Shen's expression.

Sure enough, Old Lady Shen's face was as gloomy as water.

How could Old Mrs. Shen not know that today was Shen Tang's coming-of-age day? She had already seen Liu busying around, greeting people everywhere and inviting them to watch the ceremony.

Originally, Old Mrs. Shen was waiting for Shen Dashan and Liu to come and invite her in person.

After all, she is the oldest in the family. The eldest son and the youngest son are breaking off their relationship, but they are not breaking off their relationship with her.

She must be invited, otherwise if the grandmother doesn't attend her granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony, she will be accused of being unfilial.

Who would have thought that today she waited for a long time but her eldest son didn't come to call her, and she became anxious.

It just so happened that Shen Dahe was muttering a few words in Old Lady Shen's ear intentionally or unintentionally.

Old Mrs. Shen finally couldn't hold back anymore and decided to come in person.

What's the coming-of-age ceremony? That's only for young ladies in the city. We are all farmers, and it's really stupid to spend money on it.

If this were saved, how much money would that be?

Old Mrs. Shen was outside the wall. When she heard the clinking of glasses of wine inside, she quickened her pace.

Because the ceremony was held in a workshop, two patrolling men at the door stopped the two men.

"No, we are all from the same village. Don't you know that this is Shen Tang's grandmother?"

Shen Dahe was shocked and angry, and started cursing.

Old Mrs. Shen was both embarrassed and angry.

"The boss has told us that everyone else can come in, but your family is excluded."

Shen Dahe and Old Lady Shen were instantly defeated.

Shen Dahe was fine, after all, the two families had severed their relationship, so being refused entry was acceptable to him. However, he did not expect Shen Dashan to be so ruthless that he would not even let Old Lady Shen in.

Old Mrs. Shen was furious and started cursing:

"How unfilial! The Shen family has produced unfilial sons like you!

The granddaughter has grown up, but she doesn't even call me grandma. Where in the world can you find such a son and daughter-in-law?

"Old man, why did you leave so early? I've been so exhausted over the past ten years!"

Old Mrs. Shen was very emotional and her voice was loud, and there was a moment of silence inside the wall.

Shen Dashan and Liu's faces darkened. They thought that not calling Old Lady Shen could avoid trouble, but they didn't expect that the other party would actually come to them!

Liu didn't believe that the second branch had no hand in this.

With an apologetic look, he raised his glass and motioned for someone to open the door.

Shen Dahe helped Old Lady Shen in, and the yard instantly became quiet.

Old Lady Shen could already smell the aroma of wine, meat and food outside the wall. When she came in, she saw pork elbows, braised pork, and lion's head on the table...

She was even more angry that there was no seat for her at such a good table!

"Well, Shen Dashan, you are such a filial son! You forgot your father's instructions before he left! Now you are living a good life, eating and drinking delicious food without my mother's knowledge. And Liu, you are so evil-minded, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Old Lady Shen was merciless. Shen Tang looked unhappy. When he noticed that Liu wanted to get up, he directly held Liu's hand and responded coldly,

"You're not even afraid of retribution. My parents are upright and honest. If God has eyes, he'll definitely strike down those biased, selfish, and evil people first!"
