Chapter 70: Back to the Millennium to Torture Phoenix Man 13 I Don’t Want to Give It to Others…

Wang Guixiu's birthday is coming up, and Shen Qian also knows it.

Chen Qian also heard that the three siblings of the Chen family were going to have a dinner party at home to celebrate Wang Guixiu's birthday, but she didn't take it too seriously.

Chen Qian had not planned to go out that day, but she received a call from the factory early in the morning about something, so she drove out. However, she never expected that something would happen at home after she had been out for only a short while.

Chen Zhizhi was particularly happy today. She carefully prepared a birthday gift for her grandmother and also wanted to use her own pocket money to make a red envelope for her grandmother to make her happy.

When she thought of this, she just got up and hurriedly opened the drawer, wanting to take out her pocket money, wrap the red envelope, and then go wash up and change clothes.

But when she opened the drawer and searched for a while, the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Where's my...money?"

Chen Zhizhi's voice was trembling. She didn't even have time to change her clothes. She ran out in her pajamas with her hair loose. "Aunt Feng, did you see the money I put in the drawer?"

Feng Yajun had been working for the Shen family for many years, and had followed the eldest daughter to the family after she got married. She was already a long-time servant in the family. Seeing Chen Zhizhi's panic, she quickly said, "No, Zhizhi, did you lose any money? How much did you lose?"

Chen Zhizhi was so anxious that she was running around in circles. Then she heard her grandmother's voice again.

"Zhizhi, why did you just get up? Come here."

Chen Zhizhi had no choice but to go over first. At this time, her cousin Chen Xiaojuan was standing next to her grandmother. She was excitedly comparing a pink floral princess dress to herself and said, "I really like this dress. Thank you, grandma!"

Chen Zhizhi was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Wang Guixiu noticed her expression and smiled smugly, but also deliberately frowned. "Zhizhi, what's wrong with you? You're up so late, and your uncle, aunt, and cousin Xiaojuan are all here. Why haven't you changed your clothes, washed your face, or combed your hair yet?"

Her tone was full of blame.

Chen Zhizhi pointed at the skirt in Chen Xiaojuan's hand: "Grandma, this is my skirt!"

Wang Guixiu looked at her and said, "I know, but I've already given it to Chen Xiaojuan. She's obedient and sensible, and has always been very well behaved. Giving her a skirt is nothing."

"Grandma! This is the skirt my mom bought me!" Chen Zhizhi said aggrievedly, "I don't want to give it to anyone else."

With her previous personality, she would never dare to say no if she encountered such a thing, and most of the time she would swallow her anger even if she was wronged.

But recently, her mother has tried her best to accompany her, so that she no longer feels isolated and helpless, and no longer feels that her things should be given to others. When her mother buys clothes for her, she respects her ideas and lets her choose each piece of clothing by herself. She only buys it when she is satisfied after trying them on.

She liked these clothes very much. Compared with before, she felt that these clothes belonged to her and were what she should wear, instead of picking up leftovers from others.

But at this time, grandma gave her skirt to her cousin without her consent. This was simply unacceptable to her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she still argued: "Grandma, it's wrong for you to do this, Xiaojuan. If you like a new skirt, you can ask your parents to buy it for you. I don't want to give it to you."

Wang Guixiu sneered after hearing this. She felt that things were going awry in her family recently. Not only did her daughter-in-law Shen Qian not come home all day, but she also didn't know what she was busy with outside. Now she couldn't control her granddaughter either.

Even giving her a skirt made her make such a fuss. It's true that like mother, like daughter!

Wang Guixiu just couldn't believe it. Could it be that this mother and daughter couldn't be controlled today?

"What's the big deal? You have other clothes, too. Besides, your sister Xiaojuan is a guest. Didn't your mother teach you to share? You've heard the story of Kong Rong giving away his pears, right? Besides, it's just a skirt."

"But this is not a pear! It's my skirt! And I didn't do it willingly, you can't do this!" Zhizhi cried and retorted, her voice trembling and angry.

At this time, Chen Shifeng heard the noise and walked in from outside, frowning and asking what happened.

Chen Zhizhi cried and looked at her father with hope in her eyes: "Dad, grandma gave my skirt to Sister Xiaojuan."

She felt aggrieved and hurt, tears streaming down her face.

Fu Xiangrong was also watching from the side. She pretended to persuade him, "Oh, Zhizhi's personality is a bit stingy. This is not okay. He's already a grown-up child. He needs to be taught well. Otherwise, what will happen to him in the future?"

Chen Meihua also chimed in: "It's just a piece of clothing. Why are you crying like that? It's Mom's birthday today. It's not nice to make such a fuss."

Chen Shifeng is a very face-conscious person. Today his younger brothers and sisters are here, as are his sister-in-law and niece. It is also his mother's birthday. His daughter is making a fuss over such a trivial matter, so he is naturally in a bad mood.

"Zhizhi, have you made enough of this?" Chen Shifeng scolded coldly, "It's just a skirt, haven't you worn your sister's clothes before? Why can't you give it to someone else now?"

Chen Zhizhi burst into tears. She didn't expect her father to not stand by her side, but instead bring up her sad story: "How can they be the same? Grandma made me wear clothes that my cousin didn't want anymore. This skirt was bought for me by my mother!"

"Enough! Today is grandma's birthday, don't make me angry!" Chen Shifeng hated others disobeying him, and his face was extremely dark at this time.

But Chen Zhizhi was still crying: "My pocket money is gone too, I had 800 yuan in total!"

When she said this, Chen Shifeng was a little surprised: "What pocket money? How do you have so much pocket money!?"

Wang Guixiu curled her lips and said, "That's right, how could a kid like you get so much money? Did you steal money from home?"

Fu Xiangrong, who was watching the fun from the side, chimed in: "Who said it wasn't true? But brother, don't be too angry. She's still young. You should teach her well later. Don't scare her."

"I'm asking you, what's going on!?" Chen Shifeng asked in a raised voice.

Chen Zhizhi was so frightened that she shuddered. "It was the pocket money my mom gave me. I saved it up. I had saved 800 yuan, but it suddenly disappeared this morning. It was still there yesterday!"

Chen Shifeng subconsciously looked at his mother. He seemed to have guessed something from the look on her face and said in an increasingly irritated tone, "That's enough! You lost it yourself, so just remember it. Who can you blame? I'll tell your mother later that you shouldn't be given pocket money when you're so young."

Chen Zhizhi was extremely sad. When she heard what her father said, she felt like she was abandoned by the whole world and the sky was falling. She ran back to her room crying and locked herself in the room.

She had never felt so isolated and helpless as she did today. She had thought that her life was getting better little by little, but on a day like this, when she carefully prepared red envelopes and gifts for her grandmother's birthday, she actually felt abandoned.

No one in the Chen family cared about the child's feelings. Everyone was talking and laughing. Outside the gate, there was the sound of a car driving in, and a woman wearing a slim windbreaker and high heels walked in.

It’s Shen Qian who’s back.

She rushed back as soon as she finished her work at the factory.

Now that she and Chen Shifeng have not divorced yet, there is still time for them to have a meal together, and there is no need for her to fall out with the Chen family before the divorce.

Besides, her daughter is here today, so she might as well just spend some time with her.

Shen Qian returned home, but did not see her daughter.

Fu Xiangrong came over, pulled her aside, and said with a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, you're back. I was looking for you for something."

"What's the matter?" Shen Qian asked.

"Xiaojuan has already come to Yuecheng, right? I think the teaching quality of No. 3 Middle School is not very good, and there are no fast and slow classes. The school's style of study is not suitable for children to learn. I want to transfer my child to another school."

"oh?"

Chen Qian was not interested in listening to her talk about these trivial matters, but Fu Xiangrong came to her and must be asking for her help, so she could only patiently listen to her.

"Look, I heard Zhizhi's middle school is pretty good, but it's a private school. We don't have local hukou, so we have to pay a sponsorship fee to transfer there. I heard you and your father have a lot of connections in Yuecheng, so could you please help Xiaojuan find out if there's any flexibility and help arrange a transfer so we can save the sponsorship fee."

Chen Shifeng's third sister, Chen Meihua, also said, "That's right. I heard that the sponsorship fee for this school is tens of thousands. Shen Qian, if you help your second sister-in-law, it will also save money for your family."

When Shen Qian heard this, he didn't quite understand: "Why is it saving money for myself?"

Chen Meihua's smile made Shen Qian feel uncomfortable: "Think about it, how much money does my second brother have? If it's not enough, won't my eldest brother still pay for it in the end? If you can help my second sister-in-law, won't you save money for your family?"

Wang Guixiu interrupted in time: "What do you mean by your family and my family? We are all one family, so why do we have to make such clear distinctions?"

Shen Qian frowned slightly. The atmosphere today seemed a little off. It seemed like everyone was targeting her.

Shen Qian remained calm, wanting to see what this family was planning to do.

Chen Shiming also came over and laughed, "My third sister is just like that, she speaks quite directly, please don't mind it, sister-in-law."

Shen Qian remained silent.

Chen Shiming asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law has been busy with Chen Ji's affairs recently, right? I've heard at the company that Chen Ji is very secretive right now and is closing for renovations. I wonder how Sister-in-law plans to renovate Chen Ji?"

Chen Shifeng also looked over. Although he didn't say it, he was still a little concerned about what Shen Qian was doing in private.

Recently he found that the atmosphere in the company had changed in recent days. Whatever he said in the company used to be very effective, but now it seemed that resources were gradually tilting towards Shen Ji, which was undergoing renovation.

This made Chen Shifeng a little anxious, and he also wanted to ask Shen Qian the same question, how exactly do you want to transform Shen Ji?
