Chapter 71 Return to the Millennium to Torture Phoenix Man 14 Don’t be afraid, Mom…

The brothers' inquiries were unexpectedly interrupted by their third sister: "Sister-in-law, I think you should just give up. I've checked out Shen Ji before, and it's just a small, shabby shop. It's small and doesn't do much business. It won't make any money at all. Instead of spending your money on something like this, why not use it to raise my second brother's child? I think Xiaojuan has great potential. She's pretty, good at studying, and has a good personality."

Chen Xiaojuan came over at this time and greeted Shen Qian: "Hello, aunt."

Chen Xiaojuan was indeed graceful and cheerful, worthy of being the heroine of the book. However, Shen Qian noticed that she was holding the pink dress that she had bought for her daughter Chen Zhizhi.

"This skirt... is Zhizhi's?"

This was obviously not a brand new skirt. It must have been worn several times. Since Chen Xiaojuan was holding it in her hand instead of wearing it, it naturally couldn't be hers.

Chen Xiaojuan smiled innocently: "It belongs to sister Zhizhi, but grandma said I behaved well and gave it to me. Thank you grandma, thank you aunt."

Shen Qian looked at Wang Guixiu: "Mom, you gave Zhizhi's skirt to Xiaojuan. Did Zhizhi agree to this? Have you asked for her opinion?"

Wang Guixiu snorted, "I just said I would give it to her, but why do I need to ask a little girl for her opinion? How come I can't even decide on a piece of clothing in such a big family?"

Chen Shifeng also frowned and complained: "Chen Qian, it's inappropriate for you to say that. It's just a piece of clothing. Do you have to make everyone unhappy before you are satisfied? Why are you like this now?"

Shen Qian suddenly understood why she hadn't seen her daughter for so long after returning. She quickly walked up to Mrs. Feng and asked her, "Have you seen Zhizhi?"

"Zhizhi went back to her room. She was crying just now..." Feng Yajun looked worried again: "Zhizhi also said that she lost 800 yuan. I don't know what happened. You should go and check it out. She locked herself in the room."

Shen Qian quickly left the living room and headed towards Zhizhi's room. Chen Shifeng was still shouting behind her, "Don't bother with her. It's because of you that she's become so spoiled!"

Shen Qian had previously thought that Chen Shifeng would at least care about Zhizhi because she was his own daughter. She had not expected that in Chen Shifeng's heart, Zhizhi was not as important as his mother or his relatives.

In such a big family with so many people, only Mrs. Feng cares about Zhizhi's life or death.

Shen Qian turned a deaf ear to Chen Shifeng's words, and hurried to the door of the room, knocking on the door while saying softly: "Zhizhi, mom is back, if you have anything to say, mom will help you solve it after you open the door, okay?"

Shen Qian knocked on the door for a long time. In fact, she had the key to Zhizhi's room, but in order to respect her daughter, she only knocked on the door and persuaded her at the door instead of forcing the door open.

Finally, Zhizhi was moved by her mother's persistence. She opened the door of her room, but did not want others to see her current appearance. After Chen Qian entered the bedroom, she locked the door again.

“Zhizhi…”

Shen Qian originally came to this world to complete a mission. Seeing her daughter's pretty little face all covered with tears, her hair disheveled, and her eyes swollen like walnuts, she felt extremely distressed.

She first held her daughter in her arms, patted her back gently, and waited patiently for her to finish crying.

Then he asked gently, "What happened today?"

Zhizhi just kept crying and couldn't stop her tears. Faced with her mother's questions, she was still speechless.

She seemed to have returned to her previous state of helplessness, inferiority and grievance.

Chen Qian looked at her daughter like this, and anger rose in her heart. She had finally coaxed her daughter, and now she was much better than when she first came here. She didn't expect that she just went out for an hour, and this family could bully her daughter like this!

She was anxious and wanted to seek justice for her immediately, but she also knew that Zhizhi was quite fragile at the moment and she had to be patient.

After waiting for a while, her daughter seemed to have no intention of stopping. Shen Qian held her in her arms and said, "Zhizhi, Mom knows you've been wronged. I need you to tell me what happened today. I won't blame you. As long as you tell me, Mom will help you solve it. I believe you and stand by you."

After Shen Qian said this, she felt the child in her arms tremble slightly, and the crying gradually became softer.

Shen Qian took the tissue next to her and wiped her daughter's tears: "Don't be afraid, mom is here."

Chen Zhizhi raised her face. Her eyes were completely swollen from crying, and she looked extremely pitiful. She looked at Shen Qian with the look of a wounded animal that desperately needed human safety and protection. It was also like she was mustering up the courage to give her trust for the last time. She said, "Mom, do you really believe me?"

"Well, I believe you, Zhizhi. Tell me, what happened after I left?"

"I woke up in the morning and found that the eight hundred yuan in the drawer was gone..."

She had just opened her mouth when a feeling of grievance surged in her heart. That was eight hundred yuan. For her, it was the pocket money her mother gave her. She had only used it once, and that was to prepare a birthday present for her grandmother. She was planning to give her grandmother a red envelope today, but she encountered such a thing.

Fortunately, she held back her tears and continued in a sobbing voice, "I went out to ask Aunt Feng, but before I could find out who took my pocket money, I found out that Grandma gave my new pink dress to Sister Xiaojuan. Mom..."

She still couldn't hold back her tears, and her little face looked up at Shen Qian: "Mom, that's the new dress you bought for me. I can give everything else to Sister Xiaojuan, but not these clothes you bought for me! I don't want to give them to her, but Grandma... and Dad... wuwuwu..."

Chen Zhizhi felt sad, angry and aggrieved at the same time and started crying again.

Shen Qian hugged Zhizhi, wiped her tears again and said, "Grandma didn't ask for your opinion before giving your clothes away, right?"

Chen Zhizhi nodded, tears falling to the ground as she moved.

Shen Qian said: "Grandma is wrong to do this. Let's go. I will accompany you out."

Chen Zhizhi was slightly startled: "Go out? What for?"

"Since it's not your fault, we must seek justice!"

Chen Zhizhi was still stunned, and Shen Qian said, "Don't you want to get your clothes and your pocket money back?"

Chen Zhizhi suddenly came to her senses and immediately said, "I want to! But..."

"Just do it if you want to. There's no need to hesitate. If you don't take action, others will take your things and bully you."

Chen Qian knew very well that this was the best time to teach his daughter how to resist and protect herself.

Shen Qian stared at her, looking at her with encouragement: "Don't be afraid, mom is with you."

There had never been such a moment in Chen Zhizhi's life. Someone told her that if she was bullied or her things were taken away, she could resist and say no.

No one told her that she was not wrong, but the adults were wrong.

This person is none other than her mother!

Chen Zhizhi, who had always been timid, somehow suddenly felt a little courage. She wanted to fight for herself, to prove to her mother that she could do it. She wanted to tell herself that those were her things, and if she didn't want to give them to others, she didn't have to!

"Okay!" This time Chen Zhizhi was really ready.

She took out a tissue and wiped her tears, then followed her mother out of the room.

At this moment, she was completely different from the woman who ran into the room sadly just now. She just felt like she was abandoned by the whole world, but now, she found that she was not alone, she still had a mother.

Mom said she stood behind her, supported her, and wanted justice for her.

Fu Xiangrong was chatting with her eldest brother Chen Shifeng while keeping an eye on the movements in the room. Seeing Chen Qian coming out with Chen Zhizhi, she put on a fake smile: "Oh, the little crybaby is out. That's right, it's not a big deal, but it's worth you crying like that. Don't cry, Xiaojuan will laugh at you if you cry any more."

Wang Guixiu looked over and curled her lips when she heard that. "Xiaojuan is never like that. I just despise her petty attitude. She'll be a nobody when she grows up!"

Although these words were not spoken loudly, both Shen Qian and Chen Zhizhi heard them.

Chen Zhizhi seemed full of courage just now, but when she heard her grandmother's voice, her scalp subconsciously tingled and she stopped.

Shen Qian held his daughter's slightly cold hand, and his body temperature passed to her, as if giving her strength.

Chen Zhizhi took a deep breath and continued walking forward.

Shen Qian walked over with her daughter and looked at her husband: "Chen Shifeng, what do you think about what happened today?"

In fact, Chen Shifeng didn't like his mother talking about Chen Zhizhi like that, but because of his male chauvinism and foolish filial piety, it was impossible for him to say anything to disobey his mother.

Moreover, his dissatisfaction with his mother was only a fleeting moment, and disappeared in an instant. At this moment, he was more blaming his daughter and dissatisfied with Shen Qian's attitude at this time.

"What's your attitude? It's your attitude that has taught your daughter to be like this!" Chen Shifeng rebuked coldly.

Shen Qian sneered: "Very good, if you don't care, then don't blame me for intervening."

After Shen Qian said this to Chen Shifeng, she stopped looking at him and turned to look at Wang Guixiu: "Mom, I bought that skirt for my daughter, and she likes it very much. Before you took the initiative to give it away, you didn't ask for my opinion or Zhizhi's opinion, right?"

Wang Guixiu couldn't hold back her expression, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Hey, it's just a skirt, why are you so stingy? It's not like your daughter doesn't have a skirt to wear. Today is my birthday, and I wanted everyone to have a happy reunion. I haven't seen Xiaojuan for a long time, and I was happy to give the skirt away. What's wrong, are you going to quarrel with me, your mother-in-law? How can you be a daughter-in-law like you! I'm really miserable!"

As Wang Guixiu said this, she started to cry out loudly.

Cry, make a fuss, and then threaten to hang herself. This trick has always worked in the past. As long as she starts, her three children will follow suit. She thought that her eldest daughter-in-law grew up in the city and came from a wealthy family, so she had never seen such a scene before. She could be scared before, and she could be scared this time too.

And I should also take this opportunity to give my daughter-in-law a good lesson. It would be best if she kneeled down and admitted her mistake in front of the whole family.

Unexpectedly, just as she started, she heard Shen Qian say in a cold voice: "Mom, I haven't finished yet. This is just the first thing. The second thing is about the eight hundred yuan that Zhizhi lost. Did you take it?"

Wang Guixiu was really embarrassed at this. She had originally thought that since it was such a large sum of money, she could just take it. Even if Shen Qian knew, what would happen? Could she possibly make a scene? She had never expected that Shen Qian would not only make a scene, but also make a scene in front of the whole family.

It would have been fine if he had done it in front of her three children, but he was making trouble in front of her second daughter-in-law, which made her lose face.
