The Shen Family was in a noisy turmoil for several days, but Shen Yeqing and his spouse ultimately could not withstand their child's insistence and opened up to agree to her marriage with Fang Chengjian. Due to the urgency, the Shen Family simply invited relatives for a meal a week later, which was considered the wedding for the two.
However, a revolution also broke out within the Shen Family. The two daughters-in-law demanded a division of the family after learning about their sister-in-law's affair. After thinking for a whole night, Shen Yeqing decided to divide the family.
Then Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhiwen divided the household. The elder Shen had not treated them unfairly; he had secured residential plots for each of them in the village. They could start building a granary by autumn, but for the moment, they still lived at home.
