Chapter 201: Fighting For The Inheritance
“Isn’t this a good thing? Oh, God must be watching over us. Even he doesn’t want to see the old man suffer!”
Mrs. Shen was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth as she clapped her hands together and thanked the gods.
Elder Shen leaned against his bed. When he heard the woman, he humphed, “God? Then can you ask him to just cure me?”
“Dad…that…” Mrs. Shen’s lips twitched awkwardly.
“Sister-in-law, you’re making it sound like some divine miracle. From what I see, I reckon it’s just Father’s luck!”
“That’s right.”
The brothers and sisters each shared their thoughts, refuting Mrs.Shen until she could barely lift her head.
She complained on the inside. Why did Elder Shen have so many children? Look at what was happening! Not only were they fighting for his inheritance, now that he was still alive, they were all jumping forward, unable to contain their sinister motives.
“Shut up!!”
Elder Shen’s head was spinning from all the noise. Slapping his hands on the bed, he yelled, “I’m still alive! Don’t think that I don’t know your intentions! When I’m dead, you can fight as much as you want, but for now, if anyone dares to argue another word, I will kick you out of the family! And after I’m dead, you won’t get a cent!”
These words caused the room to fall silent.
The arguing people shrunk back their necks and did not make a sound.
Mrs. Shen raised an eyebrow and looked at them in ridicule.
Go ahead! Argue if you’re brave enough! What are you afraid of?
At that moment, Elder Shen spotted Shen Xun standing at the door and waved his hand, “Xun, come here.”
While everyone was arguing, Shen Xun had been simply watching. Only when Elder Shen called him, did he finally feel as though he existed. He lifted his legs, approached the bed, and sat down.
Elder Shen held onto Shen Xun’s hand with satisfaction. “God didn’t do anything. Xun was the one who got me the prescription. None of you believed her, but Xun did; he was willing to grab onto the tiniest bit of hope.”
Elder Shen knew who cared about him, and who actually cared about what he possessed.
None of his children had the ability to shoulder heavy responsibilities. The eldest, Shen Hongyang, could only run a business, but he had no ability to expand it. Actually, if not for Shen Hongyang’s troublemaking siblings, Elder Shen would have had nothing to worry about. But since there were so many people waiting to get a piece of his inheritance, Elder Shen did not dare to die.
If he was to die, then the business he had worked so hard to develop would be ruined by his useless children!
Fortunately, Shen Hongyang gave birth to Shen Xun.
Elder Shen didn’t care that Shen Xun fought and got into trouble at school; he was impressed by his intelligence and ferocity!
“What?!”
When they heard this voice, everyone looked at Shen Xun.
“Xun, you’ve done something stupid! How could you give your grandfather a random prescription?!”
“Sister-in-law, don’t tell me you taught him this. Do you want Xun to kill the old man?”
“Ha…”
Shen Xun licked his lips and turned his head with annoyance.
“Uncle Two, Auntie Four, what did you say? Do you want to say it again?”
His eyes were bloodshot and fierce, like a hungry wolf’s. It was as though he was ready to pounce as soon as things didn’t go his way, and he would shred the other party into pieces.
“Hey!”
Auntie Four was shocked by Shen Xun’s gaze. “Little Rascal, why are you acting so fierce? Do you want to hit me?”
