Chapter 45: It's all the food's fault

"Dad, you see you are coming back with us. Shouldn't one of the two carts of grain from the second uncle's house be given to us?"

As soon as the second daughter-in-law said this, Mr. Shen Xingwang saw the remaining two daughters-in-law and several grandchildren looking at him expectantly.

The old man's mouth that he just opened suddenly closed.

How could he not know when he had raised several children and grandchildren crookedly?

Not to mention helping their second uncle's family when they were in trouble.

I actually had the thought of asking others for things that I felt justified in many times.

He closed his eyes in disappointment, and when he opened them again, the disappointment and disbelief had gone.

He looked at the youngest grandson in the group.

He asked calmly: "Tell grandpa, why should the food from your second grandpa's family be given to our family?"

The little baby in question was younger than Liu Lang of the Shen family, so he naturally said whatever he heard.

He raised his head and said innocently: "The second uncle said that the second grandpa's family has a lot of food and can't finish it, so he will definitely give it to us."

"Dad and uncle also said that the food from Second Grandpa's family will not be given to us... uh uh..."

Before the little guy could finish his words, the third wife covered his mouth and dragged him behind him.

The third daughter-in-law explained awkwardly: "Dad, the child is still young, so what he said is taken seriously, hahaha..."

"Humph, you can't take it seriously!" The old man snorted coldly and almost threw the crutch in his hand away in anger.

"I think except for what he said, nothing you said is true!"

The eldest daughter-in-law was unconvinced and muttered in a low voice: "Why, that's not the truth!"

If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Er's family was very kind to the lame old man, they wouldn't have let him go back.

He actually put on a good face for them.

Humph, don't forget who his son or grandson is. When he dies, there won't even be anyone who can break the pot.

She spoke very quietly, but the old man still heard her.

"You bunch of bastards." The old man cursed and hit several people with the crutch in his hand.

Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Daya quickly stepped forward and held down the old man's hand that was about to hit someone.

They came here to ask for food, not to be beaten.

She smiled and said: "Master, don't be angry. Brother Xiaobao must have listened to someone's gossip. How could we have such an idea?"

The old man looked at Shen Daya thoughtfully, and after a while, he seemed to believe what she said.

"In this case, I will go back with you."

"The food in your second grandpa's house is not enough for you. Don't even think about asking for it. Anyway, the two kilograms of food you left for me are almost gone. How can you live in someone else's house as comfortably as your own children and grandchildren?"

After saying that, the old man took two steps forward. Seeing that they were still standing there in a daze, he asked, "Aren't you taking me back? What are you doing there?"

A few of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they burst into laughter that was uglier than crying.

Before leaving, the second daughter-in-law even pinched Shen Daya. It seemed like she was blaming her for doing something wrong.

Xiao Zhang and Shen Yuyu sat on the carriage shaft and saw this scene clearly.

"Eucalyptus, let your second grandfather go with them like this? I think we should let him follow our family. Anyway, there is no shortage of food." Little Zhang said.

"No, it seems that they will follow us in the next few days. Since they sincerely invite the second grandfather to go back, let him stay for a while. After a while, we can go south, maybe I can’t see you anymore.”

Shen Yuyu looked solemnly at the people from Shenjia Village who had returned in despair.

It seems that their goal is to get two extra carts of food for their family.

Tsk~ It feels really unpleasant to be remembered for something like this.

If you don't want her food, just let it bleed.

After everyone in Shenjia Village left, Ms. Song quickly told everyone what Wu Cuihua had told her.

After hearing this, everyone in the Shen family fell silent, simply stunned by their shamelessness.

He actually thinks that the food they have worked hard for should be given to them.

No wonder they all just came to persuade them to go back. It turned out that they thought they would hand over the food to them if they returned to the team to show gratitude.

Shen Li was looking at the people returning empty-handed, with a somewhat unsatisfied look on his face, and he was also feeling dissatisfied with Mrs. Wu in his heart.

If she hadn't caused trouble and had to drive the Shen family out, they would have been present when the Shen family got these two carts of food.

Then they must have a share of this food, so there is no need to go through so much trouble now.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up and headed in the direction of the Shen family in front.

He looked at the white cloth bandaged on Shen Yun's shoulder, with red blood stains on it.

He asked with concern: "Boy Yun, why is your arm injured?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Even though Shen Li was caring about people like this, he couldn't call him back.

Chen Yun said nonchalantly: "Hey, I accidentally scratched it when I was collecting firewood. It's no big deal."

"Well, I thought something happened to you after you left the team, and I couldn't live with it."

As Shen Li was talking, he squeezed in and sat next to Shen Yun and the others.

Chen Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and stepped aside.

Shen Lizheng didn't seem to feel the Shen family's rejection of him, and still kept talking to himself.

"Hey, I regret driving you out. You said that in this famine year, if your family is out alone carrying food, wouldn't it make people jealous?"

"I have already taught Mrs. Wu a lesson, you guys, just follow us, stay safe!"

The Shen family replied in unison: "No need."

Shen Lizheng seemed to not understand the refusal: "You should blame me, but I also do it for the sake of the harmony of the team. How can I do bad things with good intentions."

"We appreciate Li Zheng's kindness, but let's forget about going back. It's quite convenient for our family to go alone." Shen Rong said bluntly.

Shen Lizheng's face didn't look good. No one would be happy if he was rejected many times in a row. What's more, he thought everyone in the village should listen to him.

He stood up and said: "You should think about it carefully. This person who is out of town can't go far without the help of the villagers. Otherwise, Little Yun will not be injured."

After Shen Lizheng finished speaking, he left, leaving the Shen family alone looking at each other.

Did they read that right? When Li Zheng said that just now, it felt like he was giving alms to them.

Mr. Shen sighed and said, "Hey, it's all the food that's to blame!"

Because of this incident, both groups of people couldn't sleep well.

The people of Shenjia Village are thinking about the food in the hands of Shenjia.

The Shen family felt uncomfortable being remembered.

In the evening, the Shen family arranged for Zhang Xiangyang (younger Zhang's brother) and his son Zhang Wendong to keep vigil.

Sleeping until dawn, the Shen family thought that leaving early would put some distance between them and the people behind them.

As a result, the people behind quickly followed up.
