Upon hearing that her granddaughter was being annoying, the grandmother stood up from her stool and said, "You wait, Grandma will chase them all away."

Shen's mother pounded on the door, and after a while, the door finally opened again. This time, it wasn't Shen Fenghua who opened the door, but her elderly mother with a full head of silver hair who was full of energy.

Mother Shen: "..."

She silently swallowed, her gaze fixed on her grandmother's hands, her eyes glazed over, and she even felt a little guilty.

Why are you carrying a feather duster when you're just opening the door?

Mother Chen chuckled awkwardly, "Mother, why are you the one who opened the door?"

Grandma didn't want to talk to her. She raised her hand and knocked twice on the wooden door with a feather duster. "I told you before, whether you have something to say or not, don't bother my daughter's life. What, are you just ignoring what I said?"

Mother Shen had indeed forgotten about this, and...

She looked at the old woman with a strange expression. "Something's not right, Mother. Why are you still in the county town? Shouldn't you be back in the countryside?"

Grandma sneered, "What, are you just hoping I'll go back to the countryside so you can come and bully my precious daughter?"

These words hit the nail on the head. Mother Shen shrank back. She did have such thoughts to some extent. The main reason was that the letter severing ties had some binding force on her at first, but over time it had almost no effect.

She took it for granted that since Shen Fenghua had come from her womb, he should listen to her for the rest of his life; otherwise, he would be unfilial.

Then there's Shen Huixiu...

She has completely disappeared.

She had three children in her life, one boy and two girls. Her original plan was to keep one boy and one girl to take good care of them so that they could be used to support her in her old age.

Who would have thought that Shen Huixiu would pass away before she even got old?

Furthermore, she discovered that the woman she had married to her son, Wan Shuhua, was no pushover, nor was she someone to be trifled with. If she were to entrust her retirement to her...

In other words, there's really no need for that.

Why bother waiting for retirement? Just tie your neck and wait to die.

Therefore, after much thought, Mother Shen set her sights on Shen Fenghua again. And then... she heard that Shen Fenghua was pregnant. Sure enough, she had just heard the news in the morning and couldn't wait to come over in the afternoon to confirm it.

Having her plans exposed, Chen's mother chuckled awkwardly, "Mother, how could you think of me like that? I just heard that Feng Hua is pregnant, so I thought I'd come and see."

Grandma snorted coldly, glanced at Chen's mother, then at her eldest grandson, and asked bluntly, "Where are the things?"

Mother Shen: "..."

She felt a little embarrassed; there was definitely nothing there.

This was just a pretext she made up on the spot. What kind of things would she bring to the door? This troublesome brat is thinking about eating her own food. Doesn't she worry that eating food will shorten her lifespan?

"You're really getting worse and worse," Grandma said, her eyes filled with disappointment as she looked at Chen's mother. Chen's mother couldn't take it anymore and took out a dollar from her pocket. "Mom, look at you, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even finished speaking. Although I didn't bring anything, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, the money in her mother's hand was taken away by her grandmother.

Looking at that one-yuan bill, Grandma's eyes revealed a mocking and cold smile. How rare it was that she had raised this daughter with great difficulty until she was in her twenties, and only when she saw that she was old enough did she rush to find her a husband and get married.

This is the first time in all these years that I've seen money come back to me.

but……

Why not take it? One dollar, and with a little more, I can buy a little hen and make chicken soup for my sweet little girl.

Thinking of this, Grandma generously stepped aside and said, "Come in."

Although Chen's mother felt the pinch, she still rushed in, telling herself that it was alright, once she had established all the connections here, she would naturally have plenty of money.

only……

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. There is still a long road ahead before Shen Fenghua, this wolf cub, will accept him.

When Shen Fenghua saw her mother enter, she didn't even bother to glance at her.

She didn't know what her grandmother was planning, but she didn't intend to hold her back either. She rolled her eyes at Chen's mother and then swaggered into the house.

Mother Shen: "...?"

They're inside?

How can you develop feelings if you can't even meet in person?

Grandma didn't care about any of that. "Speak up, what brings you here?"

"I've come to see Fenghua~" Mother Shen felt a little guilty when she met her grandmother's sharp eyes. "This child, really, she's leaving before she's even said two words."

"Then you can go."

The order to leave left not only Shen's mother bewildered, but even Shen Jianguo was stunned.

Good heavens! You know, at least Mother Shen's bottom was on the stool, but he hadn't even had a chance to sit down yet, and he's already telling her to get out?

That's somewhat inappropriate.

Besides, even if this opportunity to get in was bought with money, it's still far too expensive.

One minute inside, one dollar?

Let's rob them.

"Mother, are you kidding me?" Mother Shen said in disbelief.

Grandma remained calm, even retorting, "What? Didn't you say yourself that you were coming to see Feng Hua? You've seen it all, and you're still not satisfied?"

Madam Shen was speechless for a long while before muttering, "At least you should have said a few words. I didn't even get a single word, and Your Highness is already in such a hurry to send me away. Is that appropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Grandma looked at Chen's mother with a smile. "What you just paid was for watching people. If you want to talk, you'll have to pay extra."

Mother Shen: "...?"

Shen Jianguo was also stunned. "Grandma, this does seem a bit inappropriate."

He was fine when he didn't speak, but as soon as he did, Grandma's sharp gaze instantly shifted from Shen's mother to Shen Jianguo. She looked at this unfamiliar grandson in front of her.

He chuckled softly, then said unhurriedly, "Oh, so you can talk. I noticed you were silent earlier and figured your voice was damaged, that you were mute."

Shen Jianguo: "..."

This time he really didn't know what to say, so he simply kept silent, leaving his mother to fight alone.

The result was gratifying. Three minutes later, Shen's mother and Shen Jianguo were chased out by their grandmother wielding a feather duster.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut, nearly rupturing Shen's eardrums. She stared at the door, her chest heaving, gritting her teeth in frustration, yet utterly helpless.

Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Shen Jianguo felt embarrassed and started yelling in a foul tone.
