Chapter 272 Shao Shufen's Terrifying Past

Jiang Jianni was speechless after being cornered by Shao Shufen: "...Universities don't teach cooking. I just like to eat and drink and figure it out myself."

There are junior vocational schools now, but there aren't any specialized technical schools that teach people how to cook or operate bulldozers.

Many chefs in big hotels claim to be descendants of famous chefs or have ancestors who were imperial chefs.

There's really no place for an ordinary person to learn cooking skills.

Unless the person is exceptionally talented and gradually develops their culinary skills by studying and experimenting with the dishes they've eaten.

Shao Shufen was a shrewd person, and she immediately realized that Jiang Jiani wasn't lying.

But that's precisely why she was even more envious. She grabbed Jiang Jianni's hand and said, "Little sister, no wonder you were able to get into university. You're just too smart."

"If my child were half as smart as you, I wouldn't have to worry about his studies."

Jiang Jianni was a little embarrassed: "...All I know how to do is study by rote..."

Shao Shufen disagreed: "That's not just rote learning, that's called knowing how to study."

"Oh right, little sister, we haven't had a chance to meet since then, and I forgot to tell you. I really need to thank you properly."

Jiang Jianni: "??? Didn't you already thank me? You gave me ten cards."

She generously distributed ten membership cards to other people, so no one dared to go there often.

He was worried about being ridiculed for taking advantage of others, and he was also afraid of embarrassing Jiang Jiani.

Shao Shufen waved her hand: "The card is to thank you for your idea. It's yours now, so use it as you like. Don't worry about me having any thoughts."

“I’m talking about something else.”

"Remember that time we bumped into each other in the spring? We went to have our fortunes told, I was going to change my luck, and you guys were going to name the baby, right?"

Lu Sitian was very perceptive.

Seeing that they knew each other, she quietly went next door to watch the children with Aunt Lu.

—The triplets struggled to get their older brother as soon as they woke up, and were sent to Lu Haiqiang's parents' house next door early in the morning to play with him.

Jiang Jianni suddenly realized: "You mean this? It's nothing, is it? We just went with you to call the police, that's all."

Not long after reporting the incident to the police, she went south for a trip.

Some funny things happened while playing, plus the four or five kids were too noisy.

She not only forgot about calling the police, but also forgot about Shao Shufen.

no way.

She's not someone who particularly enjoys making friends, or rather, she actually has some social anxiety.

I would never actively make friends with a stranger unless absolutely necessary.

Shao Shufen wasn't a complete stranger to her, but they weren't particularly close either.

Since Shao Shufen didn't take the initiative, she gradually forgot about Shao Shufen.

By the way, because those ten cards were too expensive, after going to Crystal Palace once or twice, most people didn't go back.

Like Jiang Jiani, when it gets cold, she goes to a small public bathhouse near her home to take a bath.

Spending a few cents to take a bath is much more reassuring than using other people's money for food, drinks, and entertainment.

So she completely forgot about Shao Shufen.

Shao Shufen shook her head: "If you hadn't encouraged me to call the police, I... I might be dead."

Jiang Jianni was shocked: "What's going on? Is someone really trying to harm you?"

Shao Shufen smiled bitterly: "In the end, it's all because of money."

"Didn't I tell you before that I started a business after my husband died and I had a falling out with my in-laws, leaving me with no other options?"

Jiang Jianni nodded: "I know, from having nothing to now having a business, Sister Shao, you are the one."

She gave Shao Shufen a thumbs up: "What I admire most is people like you who are resilient, brave, and driven, and who can start from scratch."

Isn't Jack Ma amazing?

But he went to university.

These days, if a family can afford to send one child to university, they're at least not poor.

But Shao Shufen truly didn't care at all.

She only attended primary school and was essentially illiterate.

Lacking education, knowledge, and experience, she was targeted by her in-laws who wanted to seize her deceased husband's compensation money. They falsely accused her of having a child with another man and kicked her and her child out of the house.

Her family wanted to introduce her to another man, but because she insisted on bringing her son with her and refused to get married, they got angry and stopped caring about her.

When she brought her son to Pingyang City to make a living, she was truly destitute and had nothing.

Even the travel expenses to Pingyang City were pooled together by my best friend.

Yet this woman, who went from being a rural woman who knew nothing and had nothing, has worked her way up to become a successful businesswoman.

Jiang Jiani dared not even imagine how much suffering and hardship she endured during that time.

Don't say she made her fortune by relying on men.

Why would a woman with a child be willing to become another man's mistress unless she was truly desperate?

Shao Shufen honestly applied for the cleaning job while still having her child with her.

Besides, she didn't do anything disgusting like secretly getting pregnant or using a child to force him out during their relationship; she just honestly stayed within her bounds.

If the man wants to end the relationship, she obediently complies and ends the relationship.

Logically speaking, people seek lovers for pleasure and happiness.

Who wouldn't be happy to have such an understanding and considerate lover?

Anyway, Jiang Jianni felt that, given her nature of never thinking about marriage in her previous life, she would be happy to have such a lover.

Love or not is not important.

Shao Shufen's smile became even more bitter: "I thought that when they kicked my daughter and me out, they had severed all ties with us."

"Who knew this shameless family would try to get close to me again once they found out I had money."

The actions of Shao Shufen's deceased husband's family were quite ruthless.

They went too far in the past, and now they want to get involved. They say they're holding onto her compensation money, and that their child is older and needs more money for school, so they're giving the money to her.

Then he turned around and said that his family was in dire straits and hoped that Shao Shufen could help them out of consideration for the children.

Shao Shufen's husband was five years older than her and worked as an electrician in the village. After they separated from the family, he saved up his wages for three years and built a three-room red brick house.

As a result, the couple lived there for two years before something happened. The house was taken away by the husband's family and they wanted to use it for the son of the husband's elder brother to get married.

Now that Shao Shufen has become successful, they shamelessly claim they want to return the house to her, saying they only borrowed it initially.

There are no fools in business.

Shao Shufen didn't suffer much loss even when she was hanging out with a bunch of vixens; besides the help of her old lover, her own intelligence was the key.

She immediately saw through their scheme; it was utterly disgusting.

But as they said.

She can have a falling out with her in-laws without any scruples, but she can't ignore her child's feelings.

They are, after all, the child's biological grandparents, uncles, and cousins.

She feared that if her child lost their relatives on that side because of her, the child would hate her in the future.

So she reluctantly accepted it.

But little did they expect that one compromise would lead to a series of compromises.

This not only fueled their ambitions but also sowed the seeds of future trouble.
