140 The Past Of The Shen Family

When Shen Baiqian was still a baby, the Shen family was already a well-known local family. The Shen family's mansion and ancestral hall were full of fond childhood memories. He and his sixth younger brother Shen Baiyuan were close friends since childhood. Strict and strong, the concubine and concubine in the family are very cowardly, and the family property will belong to both of them in the future.

But the pace of a personal family can never match the torrent of the times. From the late Qing Dynasty to the warlords and then the Kuomintang, the government changed again and again, and the money and food of the Shen family were constantly expropriated. After leaving the land and real estate, they encountered criticism, a process that the Shen family would never want to recall.

The patriarch of the Shen family, that is, Shen Baiqian's father, learned from the painful experience. He wanted to send his son abroad, but it was not easy to go abroad. Money was needed for the up and down management. The Shen family had no money, and it was all stolen.

In the end, Shen Baiqian's mother took out the heirloom Jade Buddha in exchange for money.

There was not much entanglement when choosing a son. Shen Baiqian was the eldest son, so he should be sent to him.

Shen Baiyuan also asked why his brother didn't take him along, Shen Baiqian could only kneel down and hold his young brother's immature shoulders to comfort him.

——The people who searched were very powerful. The jade Buddha was smashed by the mother so that it could be stuffed into the hole in the bed board. If the jade Buddha was broken, it would not be able to exchange for so much money, and it was impossible to send the two of them away together.

Shen Baiyuan didn't speak anymore, Shen Baiqian saw that he was very sad, but he couldn't do anything, he was sent away soon, the Shen family had a solid foundation for many years, he had a good life abroad, and made many young people with lofty ideals.

At that time, only top families in China were able to study abroad, and people at that time were simpler than now. When Shen Baiqian returned to China again, he already had some industries and a huge social circle in his hands.

He decided it was time to go home and have a look.

After returning home, Shen Boqian realized that his father had died in the criticism, and his mother had also hanged herself. Only those who have been clean all their lives are worthy of a white silk dress.

——Shen Baiyuan followed his father's words carefully, and he could not tell his brother what happened at home in the letter, he could only say that everything was fine.

Only Shen Baiyuan and the child bride-in-law who should have been allocated to Shen Baiqian were left in the entire Shen family, named Bai Yuan. Shen Baiqian was a responsible person. He married Bai Yuan, even though she was just a village woman. Time to teach her.

Bai Yuan's first night didn't bleed, and he didn't give birth to a son, only a daughter. He didn't blame her, he was a highly educated person, and he knew that not having a son was his problem, and a woman's first night was not necessarily the same. will bleed.

Later, he personally taught Shen Baiyuan to start a business, and married him a wife, the younger sister of his good friend, the daughter of an officer, with a very prominent family background.

If there were no subsequent incidents, Shen Baiqian's life would have been so uneventful.

But one day the officer's daughter caught Shen Baiyuan and Bai Yuan in bed.

Shen Baiyuan, who had always been silent that night, killed his wife.

Shen Baiqian was startled and furious, but this was his only biological younger brother, they had the same mother, so he could only help him deal with the aftermath.
