Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Chapter 131 Follow-up (4)

Shen Hao knew that his mother hated Qian very much, but he felt that Qian should not be treated as a bad woman by his mother.

"Mother, it was indeed because of Yunniang that I was beaten, but she also felt very guilty. She sold herself to that scholar and divided the betrothal gift he gave her into three parts, giving 500 coins to me and her mother, and keeping a hundred coins for herself. She is not the bad woman you imagine."

When Shen Hao shouted this, everyone in the room fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at Shen Hao as if he were a fool. It turned out that she had spent 500 coins to get such a sucker to support her, and now she got into trouble and had to pay so much money.

Old Mrs. Shen even suspected that when she gave birth to the eldest child, the brain was left in her belly, so when she was pregnant with the third child, the third child absorbed another brain, which is why he is so smart. If she had known that this guy was so stupid, she should not have given birth to him to make her angry.

Old Mrs. Shen remembered that because Shen Hao stole eggs for Qian's family, she and her husband got up in the middle of the night to grind beans to make tofu in order to compensate him, and also started a pancake business.

In the past, she and her husband would come back after selling tofu, at least they could take a break. Later, she sold tofu and her husband had to sell pancakes. They were so busy that they could not make money as fast as he stole things. Then others would not accept compensation according to the price, and always found ways to ask for more. She should have thrown Shen Hao out then!

As the younger brother, Shen An was not in a position to say anything to his brother at this time. He was really speechless. If he asked around, he would know what the Qian family had done in Cangzhou City.

After he came to Cangzhou, he met Qian once. After telling his mother about it, his mother ordered a special investigation. However, his mother was afraid that his elder brother would be sad when he heard what Qian had done.

They kept it secret from his eldest brother, thinking that he should have seen clearly what kind of person Qian was after that incident. Unexpectedly, Qian and her daughter did this. His eldest brother didn't even bother to investigate. He just believed everything Qian said, right?

Yu even began to feel sorry for Zhou. She must be blind. How could she have fallen for this thing back then? Not only was it ugly, but she also had such a vicious lover by her side. Yu even began to lament that Zhou's life was not easy. No wonder Zhou became like this. Anyone would go crazy if they met a husband like this.

"Second brother, tell your brother the results of your previous investigation!"

"Okay, mother, big brother, Qian is a disaster, why don't you listen to my advice?"

Shen An couldn't help but sigh, after all, that was his elder brother, he still hoped that his elder brother would not be fooled by such a woman.

"She is not. You all dislike her because of her mother. I know that she is actually a very simple and kind-hearted girl. If her mother had not forbidden me to marry her, she would not have lived such a miserable life."

Shen Hao is determined. You can say whatever you want. I won’t listen and I don’t believe it!

"Mom, is there any need to tell me? My brother doesn't believe it at all!"

Shen An looked at Old Lady Shen who was sitting at the top.

"Forget it, such an idiot, why do you want to pull him? His family tried their best to pull him out of the water, but he felt that we were blocking his way to heaven. Forget it, whether he drowns or burns to death, it is his fate, we can't get involved, forget it, third brother, where did your eldest brother get so much money? Did you give it to him?"

Shen Yun is usually the head of the family, and he has the final say on almost all matters. The old lady never gets involved. But today, he just sat there in silence, and his face looked very bad.

"The incident in Liu County was reported to His Majesty the Emperor, who was furious. However, the national treasury had already allocated a lot of money to buy grain and send it over, but it was eaten up by those parasites.

I am an official appointed by the imperial court. The Prime Minister organized a donation and I gave one hundred taels. After all, our salary is not high, so we have to give something reasonable.

At this time, I thought of my Shen family's business. If my Shen family donated food at this time, it would also be beneficial to my Shen family's business in the future.

So I gave my eldest brother one thousand taels. He is the eldest of the Shen family, so he should take out some money on behalf of the Shen family's business to buy grain and send it to Liu County. Brother, how much of this money do you have left after you spent it, or is there nothing left? "

Shen Hao swallowed his saliva. His third brother's aura was so intense that he didn't even feel that intense when facing his mother.

"There's still one hundred taels left..."

The more Shen Hao spoke, the lower his voice became.

"Oh~ Every family really got more than 200 taels of silver!"

Shen Hao lowered his head, not daring to hide anything.

"Well, I gave 800 taels to the other three families, and they divided it among themselves, and then I gave 100 taels to Yunniang..."

Old Mrs. Shen was so angry that she smashed a teacup on Shen Hao's forehead, and a big bump immediately appeared on Shen Hao's forehead.

"You want to piss off your mother to death, don't you?

Shen Hao, are you here to collect a debt?

Right? Your father was killed because of you, because you were exhausted. If he hadn't dealt with all the shit you did, working hard every day, kneeling down to beg for mercy, do you think you didn't get beaten to death because you were lucky?

Ah? You really pissed me off. You were beaten that year, and your father went to save you and was also beaten. He became a bad person after he came back. Later, out of fear that you would feel bad, he insisted that it was because you fell while working. Do you still have a conscience?

Do you have one? You must be heartless. No, get out of this house. Get out! "

Shen Hao stood there with tears in his eyes, and did not move a muscle as the old lady picked up something at hand and threw it at him.

"Brother, go ahead and don't make mother angry. I will give you a hundred taels of silver. You can spend it and you don't have to pay it back.

However, from now on, I will hand over your business to Shen Li to take care of it on my behalf. By the way, you should dismiss your mistresses as soon as possible, as I think you can’t afford to keep them anymore.

Those houses were bought with the money of the Shen family, so I want to take them back. Big brother, I will give you three days to deal with these things! "

Shen Li is a poor child picked up by Shen Yun after he became an official. He was raised by his side to do work for him. He has a strong ability to do things and was trained by Shen Yun himself. He is twenty years old this year and got married last year. His wife is the youngest daughter of Wang, the steward of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Yun sighed. He really wanted to help this stupid brother, but he just wanted to stay in the quagmire with no hope of salvation.

Shen An looked at Shen Hao's end and was glad that he was not blind enough to like a woman as vicious as Qian. It was unbelievable!

"Third brother, are you trying to force my eldest brother to death?"

Shen Yun stopped talking. Old Mrs. Shen was still angry. She had recently returned to the Shen Mansion and was in good health. She was so angry just now, but she didn't faint. She stood up without letting anyone around her support her. She took a few steps, tiptoed, and slapped Shen Hao twice in the face.

"You're still blaming your brother for not leaving you a way out? What about you? Why did your brother give you money?

Did they ask you to act like a hero in front of Qian?

Are you ashamed to question your brother? These businesses belong to your brother. Do you think they are yours just because he lets you manage them?

Just wait and see. Now that you have no money, will that bitch Qian still be nice to you? I'm waiting for you to come back and admit your mistake! "

Shen Hao never believed that Qian was that kind of person, so he stiffened his neck and spoke tough words.

"Don't worry, mother. Yunniang is definitely not the vicious woman you say she is. I will never admit my mistake. I am right. I just like Yunniang and I will treat her well for the rest of my life!"

Having said that, Shen Hao turned around and walked out. After Shen Hao walked out, Old Lady Shen couldn't help crying. After all, this was the child she had worked so hard to give birth to. How could he be so stupid to touch such a large sum of money?
