Chapter 39 The Zou Family
The breeze blew.

Shen Guanye sat on the rickshaw and watched the people coming and going on the street.

There are very few cars on the streets of Hongdong County.

Firstly, there are very few people who can afford a car, and secondly, because of the dense water network, it is impossible to drive in many places.

But Canglang City is different.

As a provincial capital, there are obviously many more cars on the road than in Hongdong County.

Although Shen Guanye had seen the prosperous scene a hundred years later, the old scene in front of him still felt quite fresh.

As he got closer to his eldest sister Shen Zhimei's home, Shen Guanye's bad mood due to the encounter on the train became better and better.

The reason why he came to the provincial capital in person just when the banquet was about to be held was because he had a good relationship with his eldest sister.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see her, and even more wanted to personally tell her the good news that he had become Lord Apocalypse.

Although the second sister is also very kind to him and has let him go since he was a child, in real comparison, she is still not as good as the eldest sister.

Shen Zhilan's character is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She looks soft and knowledgeable on the outside, but she is actually very thoughtful on the inside.

But the eldest sister is different. She is soft on the outside and soft on the inside. She is very soft and kind. She is very kind to each of their younger brothers and sisters, especially to him.

This is also the reason why Shen Zhilan didn't go back to his house, and Shen Zhizhu didn't go back to school either, so he followed them to his eldest sister's house first.

They also miss their eldest sister very much.

For Shen Guanye, the eldest sister Shen Zhimei also has a special meaning.

The reason why he, a time traveler, has such deep feelings for Shen Zhimei.

One is because he incorporates the memories and emotions of the original owner.

The second is because Shen Zhimei is very similar to his sister.

This sister does not refer to Shen Zhilan or Shen Zhizhu, but his sister from his previous life.

The middle-aged woman who started carrying him in a basket to do farm work when she was seven or eight years old has been working hard for most of her life.

At that time, for him, his sister's backpack was all he had.

When he was a little older, the image in his mind was of his sister lighting a fire and cooking in front of the earthen stove. God knows that at that time, his sister was not much taller than the stove.

Because both his mother and grandmother had to do farm work, for Shen Guanye, his sister was the one who took care of him the most.

And in Shen Zhimei, he could see the shadow of his sister.

This is a great comfort to Shen Guanye.

"We're finally here, and I haven't seen my nephew yet!"

On the rickshaw, Shen Guanyu looked a little excited.

When Shen Shenghui was injured, Shen Zhimei had just been pregnant and had just given birth to her son a few months ago.

When their nephew was born, Shen Zhilan and Shen Zhizhu both went to the hospital to visit him because they were both in the provincial capital.Shen Guanye also came specially to visit once.

Only Shen Guanyu was young and still in school in Hongdong County, so the An family did not allow him to come.

Soon, three rickshaws stopped in front of an alley.

Shen Zhimei's husband's family name is Zou. He is from a famous family in Canglang City, but he is no longer a prominent family.

The ancestors of the Zou family once produced Jinshi, and later became third-rank officials.Unlike the Shen family, my great-grandfather was only a fellow Jinshi, and could only be promoted to the fifth rank.

Although the fifth-grade official is not a petty official, there is a qualitative gap between him and the third-grade official.

In terms of family status, the Shen family is inferior to the Zou family.

But those are all old records. Even the imperial court was overthrown and buried in the pile of old papers, let alone Jinshi, Tongjinshi, and third-rank officials.

What's more, the Zou family is now in dire straits, and even their old house has been sold.

In fact, compared with its peak period, the Shen family has fallen into decline.

But no matter what, the Shen family also has Shen Shenghui, a second-level Apocalypse, who has a lot of land, and a clan with several Apocalypse behind them.

Compared with the Zou family who sold their property long ago and couldn't even keep their old house, they are still much better off.

Therefore, Shen Zhimei and Zou Wuji can be considered a perfect match.

Zou Wuji is the name of Shen Guanye's eldest brother-in-law.After knocking on the door, someone soon opened the door.

The person who opened the door was an old servant of the Zou family.

Although the Zou family has declined, it still maintains some dignity. There are still two old servants, a man and a woman, who have served the Zou family for many years. Even their fathers and ancestors were servants of the Zou family.

"Master Shen, Miss Shen, are you here? Please come in quickly."

The Shen family had already sent a telegram before arriving, so the Zou family knew they would arrive this morning.

Shen Guanye nodded to the old servant and walked into Zou's house.Shen Zhilan and Shen Zhizhu chatted with the old servant familiarly and called him "Uncle Li".

Compared with Shen Guanye, the two sisters are much more familiar with the old servant, because since the eldest sister Shen Zhimei married into the Zou family, the sisters have often visited their eldest sister, and the Zou family is very familiar with the two.

On the contrary, Shen Guanye and Shen Guanyu came less often. He Tingzhang would occasionally accompany Shen Zhilan, but he was far less diligent than Shen Zhilan.

The main reason was that he was uncomfortable. Of course Shen Zhilan came over and had endless things to say with Shen Zhimei, but he and Zou Wuji couldn't talk together, so no matter how much he liked to stay with his wife, he didn't come to Zou's house many times.

Although the Zou family has fallen into decline, it was once the hairpin family and still has some wealth.

Although the house is smaller than the Shen family, it also has a front yard, a back yard, a main room, and other rooms. As soon as Shen Guanye and others walked into the front yard, they saw a four or five-year-old boy staggering out of the main house and threw him down. On Shen Guanye's lap, he hugged him.

"uncle!"

Shen Guanyu was still talking non-stop, but the little boy's "uncle" made him stop suddenly.

Then the little boy let go of Shen Guanye, and then looked at Shen Zhilan and the others.

"Second aunt, second uncle, third aunt, and younger uncle."

Called over one by one, appearing sensible and well-behaved.

"Kid, you have recognized the wrong person. We are not your uncle and aunt."

Shen Guanyu, a brainless person, really thought that the little boy had recognized the wrong person and leaned down to tease others. He didn't even notice that Shen Guanye, Shen Zhilan, Shen Zhizhu and He Tingzhang all had serious faces.

Is it possible to admit that one is wrong?
Admit your mistake, no, admit it to everyone?

Wasn't there an adult behind his back who was instructing him to call them like this? How could a child who met them for the first time distinguish them so clearly?
"I didn't know I had such an old nephew."

Shen Guanye sneered, looked at his old servant Li Bo, and said.

Uncle Li had a look of embarrassment on his face.

This made Shen Guanye, who had been observing his expression, feel his heart sink, and then he became angry.

outgoing anger.

"Brother Ye, this is a misunderstanding."

Someone else came out of the hall. It was the eldest son of the Zou family and Zou Wuji's eldest brother. However, he said it was a "misunderstanding", but his expression showed a guilty conscience.

"Misunderstanding what?"

"Misunderstood that he is not Zou Wuji's illegitimate son?"

"I misunderstood just now that he recognized our siblings, uncles, aunts, and aunts so clearly, and no one taught him behind the scenes?"

"I misunderstood that the Zou family didn't intend to cook the raw rice into cooked rice. Why should we, the Shen family, bear this breath and let this brat recognize his ancestors?!"

At this moment, Shen Guanye almost laughed out of anger.

He never expected that the family had just managed to get out of the clouds and see the moonlight, and this was another blow to his head.

He couldn't even imagine how much grievance and humiliation the eldest sister had endured during this period!
Zou Wubing's breathing was stagnant, and he couldn't speak for a while.

He had met Shen Guanye several times, and he had the impression that he was a very elegant man, handsome, gentle and polite. He didn't expect that he would be so terrifying when he got angry.

"Okay! You Zou family, a scholarly family, actually did such a thing! Where is Zou Wuji? Where did he die??? Are you pretending to be dead now?! Where is my eldest sister? Where is she! Where is she! !!”

Shen Zhizhu scolded him directly.

Even Shen Zhilan, who had always had a gentle temper and seemed to have a smile on his face all year round, now looked horribly gloomy.

What the Zou family did was really too shameful and exceeded their cognitive limits. Before seeing this scene with their own eyes, they never thought that the Zou family would do such a thing.

Do you really think that everyone in their family is dead?

Their father is ill and the family is no longer what it used to be.

It doesn’t matter if outsiders bully her, but she even bullies her in-laws. Even a person can be furious!
