“What, what about raising children?” Shen DongMing didn’t understand what his father said.
The old man Shen was reserved because of his own identity, and it was hard to talk about those messy things. It was the old lady Shen who came in with Wang Shi tell him.
“The whole village knows about it. The Song family was in a hurry to send people to discuss marriage with your family. They were in such a hurry to marry down a poor man, what do you think the reason is?
Shen DongMing stood there with a dead look on his face, while his mother kept saying the ‘poor family’ which was about their family. He really did not want to call ‘mother’ out, but he still had to call out: “Mother.”
Old lady Shen sat down with an arrogant expression, without even giving a look to her eldest son, she said: “Xi ge is going to get rich. I don’t dare to be your mother. Our Shen family can’t compete with a family like the Song family, and we also don’t want to raise the child for others.”
“Who said about the child? There’s no such thing! My family’s Xi ge and the young master of Song Mansion are in love with each other, that is what our Xi ge personally admitted!” Shen DongMing was angry. His future daughter-in-law was subjected to such rumors before he got married. He must not be allowed it to develop any further.
“Hmph! Does he have to admit it himself? If it weren’t for this matter, why would he be in such a hurry to get married? And, why would he marry Xi ge?” Old Lady Shen said. If there was nothing wrong with the young master of the Song family, let alone Xi ge, even the best grandsons and sons in her family was not worthy of him!
“Since there is no confirmation, why do you have to listen to other people’s nonsense? That’s your granddaughter-in-law!” Shen DongMing looked at his mother with an aggrieved look. It was okay for him to be disliked, but they shouldn’t treat Xi ge like that.
“Shut up. I didn’t admit that he was my granddaughter-in-law.” Old Lady Shen glanced at the old man Shen and said, “Old man, you set him straight. Our Shen family don’t want this granddaughter-in-law.”
Old man Shen said: “We don’t want it.”

Shen DongMing was shocked and asked: “Why? Why don’t you want it?” He really didn’t understand. What did Xi ge do wrong to not marry a good wife?

Old man Shen also stated his position. He said: “Yes. You can’t marry the young master of the Song family. Marrying him would be the source of disaster.” The century-old reputation of the Shen family would be gone.
“Don’t marry him? Then what about our Xi ge?” Shen DongMing stared blankly at the two elders, feeling cold in his heart.
The two elders of the Shen family felt a little uncomfortable when they thought that Xi ge had not yet married a wife at the age of twenty-four, and said, “It’s because Xi ge didn’t pay attention to himself, that’s why he became a mute.”
Wang Shi still had some conscience and said, “Why don’t we do this? I’ll ask my eldest sister-in-law at my parents’ home to pay attention and look one for Xi ge. Maybe he can marry this year.”
Both the elders of the Shen family said they had no objection, as long as he didn’t marry the young master of the Song family.
“No.” Shen DongMing raised his head stubbornly and said, “My family’s Xi ge doesn’t need you to worry about him. He will marry the young master of the Song family! It doesn’t matter even if you don’t allow it!” No matter what this time, he would not be led by the nose again. Yes, that was their Xi ge’s happiness, and no one could take it away.
“Lao Da, you are fascinated by riches and honors which still yet to come? How dare you not even listen to your father’s words?” Old lady Shen said displeasingly.
“How could it be because of wealth? Xi ge and the young master of the Song family have already made a promise to get marry. We can’t stop him, and neither can you two.” Shen DongMing said.
“Hmph! What ‘made a promise to get marry’? Let me tell you, the young master of the Song family is not a good one, and marrying him will be a disaster.” Old lady Shen snorted coldly.
Shen DongMing couldn’t bear it anymore. Before his wife was married in, his mother also called her names. He gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t care. Anyway, Xi ge’s marriage is settled as it is, and it won’t change.”
“You! You evil son. Are you going to make me angry to death?” Old Man Shen pointed at his eldest son. When did he become so arrogant and didn’t even listen to his father’s words?
Shen DongMing said bitterly and sadly: “I have always been an unfilial son in your heart, and you have never liked me. This time, for the sake of Xi ge, I will never give in. You can scold me as much as you want.”
“What do you want to do? You can’t let that scourge marry into your family. We don’t agree!” Seeing that he was leaving, Old Lady Shen stood up and shouted angrily.
“Father, mother, just treat your son as being unfilial and stop trying to stop him.” Shen DongMing said that and left the main house as if running away. He didn’t need the support of his family. He didn’t need it since he separated from the main family, because even if he needed it, the ither party wouldn’t give it to him.
“What a scoundrel. I’ve told you before that he’s not a good one.” Old lady Shen said, looking at Shen DongMing’s back.
“He insists on doing this, so let him do it.” The old man Shen sighed in disappointment. His family had been both farmers and scholars for generations. Although it was a farmer’s family, the family style was always upright, and there had never been a precedent who was as ignorant as the eldest son, Shen DongMing. Xi ge from the eldest son’s family was actually very clever, but unfortunately, he had become a mute and his future was ruined.
For the old man Shen, his eldest son Shen DongMing was his stain, and now he didn’t even want to mention Xi ge who was a mute.
“How can it be possible? If there are rumors in the village that involve the reputation of our Shen family, how will we deal with it?” Old lady Shen disagreed.
The old man Shen said: “Then let the third daughter-in-law go out and make a statement. Our family does not support Lao Da’s family in this marriage. If he does marry, it has nothing to do with us.”
Old lady Shen thought that was a good idea, so she ordered the third daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, saying: “Did you hear that? You go out and make it clear on behalf of the Shen family and express our Shen family’s intentions.”
The third daughter-in-law said, “It is said that they’re going to propose marriage tomorrow, so I have to tell people quickly.”
Old Lady Shen patted her hand: “Go. My son is about to finish classes. Don’t let him meet you.”
Wang Shi said goodbye to the two elders of the Shen family and went out to look for the eloquent backbone of the village, as well as the village head in the village. No matter what, the Shen family was still the first-class family in the village. As long as their family made a statement, everyone was willing to believe.
Didn’t many people speculate about the inside story of the Shen family’s eldest son’s family and the Song family’s marriage? Unfortunately, there was no evidence, so people were just talking nonsense and speculating secretly. At this time, the Shen family made a public statement that they did not agree with the eldest son’s family of the Shen family marrying the young master of the Song family. What was the reason?
The shrewd men and women, young and old, started discussing in private, and as they talked about it, it became nothing more than dirty things that couldn’t be mentioned in public.
Everyone wanted to get some news from Wang Shi’s mouth, but Wang Shi didn’t say anything and only conveyed the intentions of the two elders of the Shen family. According to her own thoughts, she had no choice but to do this. Unfortunately, the elders in the family were at odds with Lao Da’s family, and Xi ge’s future wife was indeed questionable. In the end, for the sake of herself and her son, Wang compromised, she had to be the evil person.
ChaShan Village was extremely lively today. At noon, rumors spread that the Shen family’s eldest son’s family was going to get rich. And in the afternoon, a statement from the main Shen family spread. As things continued like that, everyone was talking about whose child was in the belly of the young master of the Song Mansion? What dirty things were hidden in the inner chambers of the Song Mansion?
By the time the three members of the Shen family’s eldest son’s family found out about the rumors, they had already started discussing how many children the young master of the Song family had already given birth to…
Shen DongMing was pacing back and forth in the room, and said angrily: “Send the betrothal gifts! We’ll send the betrothal gifts the day after tomorrow! No matter what nonsense they are talking about. Xi ge, what do you think?”
Shen JunXi was worried by those disgusting rumors. When he heard his father’s determination, his frown slightly relaxed, nodded and gestured: “Go!”
Bruh….it’s always the cheap villagers and mean families😑
