"It would be nice if there was a young patriarch here at that time."

Master Shen San said while wiping away tears.

"Third uncle, our young patriarch wasn't born yet at that time." Shen Zhongxia reminded.

"Yes, yes, it's me."

Mr. Shen San sighed and said, "It's better now. The children in our village are no longer afraid of choking."

From that time on, his children were not given boiled eggs.

If you want to eat, only steamed eggs.

It's really like being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of the rope for ten years!

While Shen Lu was serving soup to the old lady with a white porcelain spoon, he said, "When I teach you later, if you all study hard, you don't have to worry."

Mr. Shen San nodded vigorously: "I must study hard. Anyone who dares not to study hard should go and kneel in the ancestral hall for me!"

Although the clan leader is Shen Haitang, the third uncle is also the clan elder.

Who dare not listen to his words?

What's more, Shen Lu offers free teaching. It's too late for everyone to be happy, so who dares not to take it seriously?

Xu Shen Lu saved the children in the village as soon as he took action, and everyone accepted the young patriarch well.

During the meal, they took turns coming to the main table to toast.

Shen Lu naturally didn't drink. She drank tea instead of wine and clinked glasses with everyone who came to toast.

There was no need for Mrs. Shen, just Shen Zhongxia introduced everyone to Shen Lu. She tried her best to remember everyone.

The entire banquet was very lively, except for Lin Rou, Shen Du, and Shen Shensi.

They seemed to be incompatible with today's recognition banquet.

Lin Rou saw this scene and felt sorry for her daughter.

My daughter has lived here for 18 years, but the villagers ignored her and only gave Shen Lu a toast.

This is clearly excluding Sisi!

Lin Rou put the bowl down hard and wanted to take her daughter away.

Mrs. Shen heard this and put down the bowl slowly.

The look of calmness and self-importance made Lin Rou take a breath.

"Xiaolu, go and serve tea to your adoptive mother and thank her for her 18 years of upbringing."

"Okay." Shen Lu looked very well-behaved and actually brought a cup of tea.

Lin Rou choked and had to swallow the words she was about to spit out.

"Aunt Lin, I'd like to toast you and thank you for taking care of me over the years."

When Lin Rou heard the address, a forced smile appeared on her face: "Hey, do you really want to be so different from me?"

"Even if Sisi comes back, I still treat you as my biological daughter, and you won't even call me mom?"

Shen Lu glanced at Shen Sisi and then said to Lin Ju: "I still call you mom. It seems unfair to Shen Sisi. Let's call you aunt."

Lin Rou subconsciously looked at Shen Sisi and saw that the child had his head lowered, but his eyes were slightly red.

"Mom, it's okay with me. You raised my sister, and she is also your daughter..."

Before Shen Shensi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mrs. Shen: "I think it's good for Xiaolu to call her aunt. She also has her own mother."

"Even if Mrs. Shen is willing, Xiaolu's mother doesn't want her daughter to call someone else's mother."

"This girl Sisi has been longing for mother's love since she was a child. Now she's fine. I've found her biological mother, and I'm relieved."

After being interrupted by Mrs. Shen like this, Lin Rou couldn't even blame Shen Lu.

She also saw that Sisi didn't want her to recognize Shen Lu again.

Since asking Shen Lu to call him mother would make Sisi unhappy, it was okay not to mention it.

"Grandma, it's really okay with me. I'm willing to share it with my sister..."

"I don't want to!" Shen Lu interrupted her.

Such a blunt attitude made Shen Sisi's face pale.

"Does my sister not like me?"

"Or do you blame me for taking away my parents and brother?"

Shen Lu glanced at her: "No, it's all yours, why should you take it away?"

"Shen Lu, do you have to be so evil towards Sisi?"

Shen Du couldn't stand it anymore. In his opinion, it was Shen Lu who was bullying Shen Si.

Sisi grew up in the countryside and has a soft temper. She is no match for Shen Lu.

"I don't think I said anything too extreme, right?"

Just when Shen Du was about to retort, Shen Lu scolded him: "Don't talk to me, I'm annoying to see you!"

She has no patience with Shen Du.

Shen Du was in disbelief and couldn't accept that Shen Lu was more impatient than him.

"Are you Sisi's brother?"

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Du.

"Yes."

Shen Du was not so domineering when facing the old lady.

She even felt a little guilty, because the old lady seemed to have a strong aura at first glance, and she was also the matriarch.

This was different from what he had thought before.

However, it was precisely because the old lady had such a high status in the village that he felt even more unhappy.

This old lady is already the head of the clan. Sisi is still not doing well in the countryside, which means that the old lady is not treating her well either!

"Master Shen, this brother is so kind to Sisi. He must have been very protective of Xiaolu in the past."

"Xiaolu, why don't you give Master Shen a drink and thank him for taking care of him in the past?"

This sounded normal, but Shen Du felt it was full of irony.

However, Shen Lu was very obedient and poured tea again, and poured Shen Du a glass of wine himself.

"Thank you, Master Shen, for taking care of me all these years!"

Shen Lu picked up the tea cup.

Shen Du opened his mouth, but finally said nothing and drank a glass of wine in one gulp.

Shen Du drank so much that it made him cough: "Ahem..."

His face turned red.

Shen Lu tried hard to hold back his laughter, but failed.

She was really gloating!

Shen Shensi glanced at Shen Lu reproachfully and quickly patted Shen Du on the back: "Brother, are you okay?"

"Ahem... Don't worry Sisi, I'm fine." Shen Du waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's all my fault. I forgot to remind my brother that this is wine brewed in the village. It has a high alcohol content. My brother shouldn't be used to drinking it."

On the surface, she was reviewing herself, but she actually didn't know who to blame.

Old Mrs. Shen didn't like Shen Si's pretentiousness, which was not like the Shen family at all.

Oh, they are also the Shen family, but they are sinking here instead of sinking there.

"I also want to pay a toast to Mrs. Shen, thank you for raising Shen Lu."

Mrs. Shen raised her wine glass towards Lin Rou.

Lin Rou looked embarrassed. Her son had become like this after just one drink. How could she dare to drink?

Besides, given the conditions in the village, is the wine brewed drinkable?

"Sorry, old lady, I don't drink." Lin Rou lied.

Fortunately, no one exposed her.

Mrs. Shen gave her a meaningful look: "Are you not used to drinking in bars in the countryside?"

"Xiaolu, pour tea for Mrs. Shen."

Shen Lu immediately poured tea for Lin Rou.

Lin Rou was given some face this time.

"I also want to thank the old lady for taking care of Sisi. I heard how old was Sisi when she started cooking for herself?"

Lin Rou is here to investigate?

The people at the same table were all villagers, and their eyes on Lin Rou instantly became unfriendly.

The old lady was the calmest. She glanced at Shensi and said, "Yes, Sisi doesn't like to eat what I cook, so she started cooking by herself when she was very young."

"Speaking of which, I have wronged my children and have to live a hard life with an old woman like me."

"Isn't it?" Lin Rou didn't hear the agility in her words at all and nodded in agreement.

Before the old lady could speak, Lin Rou glanced at Shen Lu again.
