No, I've seen them. Old Mrs. Fang and Old Mr. Yu are about the same age.

Grandma Lin was completely terrified.

She only cared about secretly pocketing the money, but didn't think about how to deal with it afterwards, because in her plan, she never even considered that Shen Qianqian would find out about it!

"You, you, you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Grandma, are you scared? You've done something wrong. If Dad finds out, you might not be able to keep your position as the family's treasurer anymore, right?"

Grandma Lin immediately became anxious and stood up, waving her hands.

"Don't say it! Don't say it! I know you're selling things with other people outside. If you tell me, I'll..."

Tell your dad about this!

"Whatever, it's not like I'm stealing or doing anything underhanded. The country is in a great period of development, and I'm just cooperating with national policies."

Shen Qianqian shrugged: "And you're lining your own pockets, which is illegal. Grandma, you should know the consequences. Why should I, someone who had over two thousand yuan swallowed up, suffer this loss!"

I can't tell!

If she tells her son, he definitely won't let her manage the household and will have to give the money to his daughter-in-law. If she wants to buy something in the future, she'll have to ask her daughter-in-law for money again. Most importantly, her status in the family will plummet!

She didn't raise her son herself, and they weren't particularly close. If she didn't have control over the household, what would she do in the future?

An overwhelming sense of fear followed.

Grandma Lin was on the verge of tears, deeply regretting that she had angered this devil. For the past month or so, he had kept quiet and hadn't mentioned anything, probably out of consideration for his deep bond with his grandson. But today, she had angered him, and he had deliberately brought up the matter.

The more Grandma Lin thought about it, the more she regretted it.

Shen Qianqian had no idea that Old Lady Lin was thinking such complicated things.

She didn't reveal this at first because she had leverage over someone else. She should have used it at the right time. If she had revealed it prematurely, the other person would have been able to figure out a way to deal with it. In that case, the leverage she held wouldn't have been leverage, but a threatening secret.

Today was a good day.

When she saw Old Lady Lin at the intersection, she wasn't flustered at all; in fact, she was even a little excited.

Strive.

Old Mrs. Lin came to give her money.

I need money to start a factory.

She absolutely had to get those two thousand yuan!

"Qianqian, you can't tell your dad about this. If you do, I'm doomed!"

Old Mrs. Lin wiped away her tears with her dry, old hands, sobbing and trying to play the victim so she could have a good chat with Shen Qianqian about the bond between grandmother and grandson, but Shen Qianqian didn't have the time for that.

"Grandma, crying to me won't help. Over the past thirteen years, I've been deeply hurt by what you've done. I'm not the soft-hearted person I used to be!"

"You want me not to tell my dad? Fine, but you have to give me back the money. Over the past thirteen years, you've swallowed up more than two thousand yuan of my living expenses."

Pay back the money?

Old Mrs. Lin stopped crying.

The thought of repaying the money made her heart ache; the thought of having to pay back more than two thousand yuan felt like she was being torn to pieces.

She...she couldn't bear to part with it!

Grandma has no money.

"Grandma, did you sink it all? No way! So much money! Besides swallowing my living expenses and daily expenses, you must have taken a lot of it too. You sank it all? Where did you sink it? Were you scammed? Did you do something illegal?! No, I have to report it to the police! I have to get this money back!"

Old Mrs. Lin hadn't finished speaking.

Shen Qianqian interrupted her directly, staring at her with disbelief, as if she had really done something illegal.

Old Mrs. Lin: "......"

"No, no, I can still scrape together the money if I try..."

Old Mrs. Lin wiped away her tears, went back to her room to get money, and walked with a limp, as if she had suffered a severe blow.

Shen Qianqian looked at her and walked over: "Grandma, you're not very nimble, how about I help you get your change?" "No, no, no need!"

Grandma Lin darted back to her room and closed the door behind her.

Shen Qianqian clicked her tongue twice.

My legs are in good condition.

Shen Qianqian moved her return to Nanxian County a few days earlier, planning to get things done at the factory as soon as possible before school started.

Three days before leaving the capital, Wu Yunhua helped Shen Miaomiao find a school willing to accept her, so she could directly enroll in the first grade.

As it turns out, Shen Miaomiao wasn't stupid; she just took a little longer to think about things than the average child.

Shen Qianqian also went to see the Guang siblings to confirm the amount of fabric needed and the essential zippers, so that they could be delivered directly to Nanxian.

The two were looking forward to the new factory and planned to visit Nanxian County after it was completed.

Shen Qianqian took the money contributed by the brother and sister and left, then went to Chuantangxiang to maintain her connections.
