Shen Tang thought for a while and said, "Let me think of a solution."
Shen Xingwan didn't ask any further questions. If it didn't work out, she would open the store first. Banxia could just go and experience it and help with the management. Anyway, she had made up her mind that she would never stay in the old house for too long.
"Go back, your mother should be in a hurry if you don't come back."
"Wait a minute, buy some delicious food to feed mother and brothers." Shen Xingwan said, the Shen family's diet is amazing.
Shen Tang patted her head happily, "Dad, I have my own way. As for buying things, I won't use it for the time being, otherwise there will be another war."
Moreover, most of it will definitely be taken away by Mrs. Shen like a vampire, and very few will fall into her own hands.
"I obey daddy." Shen Xingwan said obediently, but in fact he was wailing in his heart, because he had lost his freedom to work.
The father and daughter and Ban Xia still took the bullock cart back. When they reached the entrance of the village, they looked at the green mountains and green water in the village. In the smoke from the cooking stoves, there were the laughter of children and the voices of adults calling home for dinner.
Shen Xingwan felt that it was quite beautiful for a while. It was a good place to retire and lie down.
Until they walked outside the Shen family's old house, they saw Zhang sitting alone on the stone next to the gate waiting for them from a distance.
When Shen Xiaoguo saw them, she ran over and immediately complained aggrievedly, "Mom, grandma, and fourth aunt got into a fight."
Shen Tang's expression changed, and he immediately rushed towards Zhang in worry.
Shen Xingwan took a closer look at Shen Xiaoguo. His old clothes were torn into tatters, and there were a few red marks on his face that were obviously pinched out.
"Does it hurt?" Shen Xingwan reached out and touched it.
Shen Xiaoguo puffed up her chest and said, "It doesn't hurt. I have to protect my mother when my father is not here."
"Well done." Shen Xingwan praised with a smile.
Zhang's hair is also messy and her eyes are red.
Shen Tang immediately became anxious, "My mother, what did they do to you?"
He knew Zhang's character well. He had always been fierce and strong, and rarely cried, but now his eyes were red.
Shen Xingwan also pulled Shen Xiaoguo over and coaxed, "Mom, don't be sad, I brought you something delicious."
Mrs. Zhang was even more sad when she saw her, and said with a guilty look on her face, "Wanwan, it's my mother's fault."
"Mom is so brave, how useless is it." Shen Xingwan stood on tiptoe and tried to wipe Mrs. Zhang's tears.
Mrs. Zhang hugged her and burst into tears almost instantly.
She was a useless mother, and her daughter, who was so good so quickly, was wronged one after another.
Shen Tang jumped to the side almost anxiously, "Xiaoguo, tell me, what happened?"
"Grandma and the others are taking things from my sister's room, and my mother and I can't stop them no matter what." Shen Xiaoguo said angrily.
Shen Tang clenched his fists and then unclenched them. Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other, he gritted his teeth and said, "I must fight my way out of this family!"
After enduring it for so many years, he discovered more and more that some people had no heart and no bottom line.
Mrs. Zhang cried for a while and wiped her tears with embarrassment, "They are so bullying. They won't let go of even a child of several years old. They wish they could scrape the oil off Wan Wan's body."
"It's okay, Pinellia and I are keeping the money close to us." Shen Xingwan comforted her.
"We'll talk after we go back first," Shen Tang said with an unkind expression.
When he walked into the yard, Shen Xingwan saw at a glance that the door of his room was wide open and that the inside had been messed up.
Banxia ran over and looked around, her eyes were red, "Miss, everything has been taken away."
After plucking the goose's hair, not a single thread was left for her.
Although the valuable things had long been placed in Fat Cat's own handy space, Shen Xingwan still couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
Mrs. Gao heard their voices and walked out of the main room, "Hey, we're back. Come in and eat."
Then he stared at the pastries in Shen Tang's hand with gleaming eyes, "I've bought some delicious food again. It's just in time for dinner. Bring it in quickly."
Saying that, he reached out to take it without being polite. Shen Xiaoguo snatched the pastry and ran to the other side holding it.
"You guys know how to bully others. Every time dad buys something, you take it away."
"But you obviously have delicious food hidden in your room, and you still open a small stove to eat it secretly."
Mrs. Gao put her hands on her hips, widened her eyes, and said in a loud voice, "You are talking nonsense at a young age. Everything you buy is from the same family. Your father's belongs to the Shen family."
"Ha, so that's what you think." Shen Tang sneered.
Old Mrs. Shen's sarcastic voice sounded, "Why do you think I'm going to treat you to a meal? If you don't want to eat, get out!"
"By the way, the Fourth Brother's family asked those mourners from the Third House to come over. Now that they're awake, don't be lazy. You have to do the work you should do. Our Shen family doesn't have money to support idle people."
Old Mrs. Shen beat her waist, she was exhausted. She had never cooked by herself since the arrival of several daughters-in-law.
Soon Mrs. Zhou came over, holding a white cloth on her head and looking pale and weak like a ghost.
Erya was also thin and small, with her head lowered and shivering, looking pitiful.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't care less about being angry, and quickly stretched out her hand to help Da Ya, "Why did you come out? She's still weak."
Da Ya smiled sensibly and said, "Second Auntie, I'm feeling much better already."
If she doesn't come out, the old woman will torture her mother again.
Shen Tang looked at Father Shen who was sitting at the main table smoking leaf cigarettes, "Are you just looking at me like this?"
They are also his children and grandchildren. Shen Tang really can't understand how a person's heart can be like this.
"Da Ya hasn't fully recovered yet. Go back and lie down and rest for a few days. Others can come in to eat." Father Shen said something that seemed fair.
Mrs. Shen glared at Mr. Zhou fiercely, but didn't say much.
"Nai, please return everything you took from my room." Shen Xingwan said in a shocking tone.
Old Mrs. Shen gave her a disdainful look, pointed her nostrils at her, "Let's talk after dinner."
"And our family doesn't have much food for outsiders."
"Panxia, go find Xiaoguo." Shen Tang said, that boy had so many pastries in his hand.
Ban Xia saw Shen Xingwan nodded and left quickly.
Mrs. Zhou did not help Da Ya back to the room. The child had only drank a few mouthfuls of hot water since the injury. She was not eating and would starve to death before the injury was healed.
On the table is still the porridge that Mrs. Shen had already divided, with only water and no porridge.
Erya felt sorry for her sister, so she picked up the bowl in front of her and handed it to Daya's mouth, "Sister didn't drink it. If you drink it, you will get better soon."
The iron spoon used by Mrs. Shen to divide the porridge hit Erya, and the bowl in Erya's hand was knocked over instantly. The hot gruel made her cry "Wow" loudly.
"If you don't work and want to eat and dream, go ahead and eat shit. She won't get a share of tonight's dinner."
Mrs. Zhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up at Mrs. Shen and said faintly, "You guys are going too far!"
