Chapter 274 is so heavy that it cannot be ignored.

As it approached five o'clock in the afternoon, Grandma Xi thought it was time to cook.

Shen Xuewei and Chen Fanglan went to help with cooking and preparing ingredients.

After preparing seven or eight dishes, the busy work in the kitchen finally came to an end when the last plate of stir-fried vegetables was served.

Chen Fanglan retrieved two bottles of drinks from the room where things were piled up.

Chen Fangqiu, who had been silent all along, also got up and took out a bottle of baijiu.

Chen Fanglan caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, frowned slightly, and quickly returned to her seat.

By the time Chen Fangqiu took his wine and sat down, everyone had already started eating.

"Come on, Mom and Dad, you eat first. You've been staying at home all year round, farming and doing farm work. You've worked so hard."

"It's not hard work, there's nothing hard about it. As long as you little ones work hard outside and don't suffer any grievances, that's fine."

"Here, this chicken leg, Weiwei, eat it quickly. You study hard, you need to eat more. It hasn't been long, but you look thinner again..."

"Hey, Mom, now that you mention it, it seems like Weiwei has indeed lost a little weight."

"Grandma, Auntie, I haven't lost weight..."

...

Everyone ate their meal in a lively atmosphere, and their laughter echoed from inside the house to outside.

Chen Fangqiu ate his food, occasionally taking a sip of wine.

After finishing one bottle of baijiu, he still felt it wasn't enough, so he went to find another bottle.

When Grandma Xi noticed, she advised, "A Qiu, don't drink so much. There's still so much food here. Eat more."

Chen Fangqiu gave a perfunctory reply, but continued to pour wine into his glass from the bottle.

Seeing that he wouldn't listen to her advice, Grandma Xi could only sigh.

The atmosphere was unusually good today. After everyone finished eating, they were all talking around the table, but Chen Fangqiu continued to drink in silence, one sip after another.

However, he remained silent and did not cause any trouble, so everyone simply pretended that he did not exist.

As the evening drew to a close, around nine o'clock, the excitement subsided and the party came to an end.

Grandma Xi was about to get up and clear the leftovers from the table when Chen Fangqiu, who had drunk two bottles of baijiu, staggered to his feet and asked Grandpa Chen for money.

"Dad, money...give me money, I'm out of money."

Faced with this recurring demand for money, Grandpa Chen didn't even blink, nor did he give him a second glance, skillfully tossing out:

"If you don't have money, go earn it yourself." These six words.

In the past, when Chen Fangqiu received these six words, she would either go to Chen Fangyang or secretly go to Grandma Xi to play the victim.

However, this time he may have drunk too much, and his emotions were somewhat unstable.

Upon hearing Grandpa Chen's words, he nodded drunkenly, spun around, and fixed his gaze on Shen Xuewei.

"Is it because we don't have money, or did all the family's money go to her education? Hmm?"

When Shen Xuewei was stared at, her whole body suddenly stiffened.

From Chen Fangqiu's eyes, she could tell that the other person genuinely loathed and hated her.

Grandpa Chen slammed his fist on the table and stood up to stare at Chen Fangqiu.

"Why are you bringing Weiwei into this? How much does it cost to send her to school?"

Of the entire Chen family, Chen Fanglan was the one who knew Shen Xuewei the most.

Given Shen Xuewei's earning power, she doesn't need the Chen family's money to study. Besides, her tuition and accommodation fees are already waived for her high school studies, and she also receives scholarships from the school.

According to what Chen Fanglan heard from Grandma Xi, Shen Xuewei hadn't asked for the money she gave her for a long time.

She couldn't help but speak up for Shen Xuewei.

“If you’re going crazy, don’t drag Weiwei into it. Just this year, Weiwei hasn’t asked her parents for a single penny.”

She sized up Chen Fangqiu, who reeked of alcohol, and said sneer:

"If we're talking about spending the family's money, you're the one who spends the most, right? You've spent all the money, so stop blaming others."

Chen Fangqiu pointed at her and said, "Do you even have the right to speak in this house? Do you have the right to talk to me like that?"

"If I hadn't stood up for you back then, you might still be entangled with that Xu guy, and you might not even know if he beat you to death one day."

"You ungrateful wretch! You're the last person in the family who has the right to speak ill of me! Chen Fanglan!"

Chen Fanglan was furious.

"I'm not qualified? Don't think I don't know how much money you've secretly swindled from Mom over the years. At least half of that was from me!"

When this attack on Chen Fangqiu was being carried out, Chen Fangyang, who had suffered losses before, naturally joined in, echoing and criticizing Chen Fangqiu.

The three of them started arguing, and Grandma Xi, who was standing nearby, was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

"Stop arguing, you're siblings... It's all my fault as your mother, please, I'm begging you."

This was the first time Shen Xuewei had seen Grandma Xi so heartbroken. She took a tissue and went to her side.

"Grandma, don't cry."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Chen Fangqiu couldn't win the argument with Chen Fangyang and Chen Fanglan, so she immediately changed her target after hearing Shen Xuewei's voice.

"What right do you have to stay in this house? You're an outsider, someone even your parents don't want."

"There's no place for you here, get out!"

Even though she knew Chen Fangqiu was a scoundrel, Shen Xuewei had only ever pointed her gun at outsiders; she had never personally confronted the ruthless Chen Fangqiu.

At this moment, looking at her uncle who rushed up to her, pointed at her nose, cursed her, and told her to get out, fear, anxiety, and unease filled her heart.

Fear made her legs weak, and she barely managed to push herself back toward the door.

Chen Fangqiu still thought she was too slow, so she reached out and pushed her.

Shen Xuewei's legs were already weak, and with his push, she fell heavily to the ground with a cry of pain.

"Weiwei!"

The people inside the house screamed in surprise.

Da Huang must have heard the commotion, because he rushed in through the back door and just happened to see Chen Fangqiu pushing Shen Xuewei down.

It rushed in front of Chen Xuewei, its back arched slightly, its tail held high, its second teeth bared, and it growled at Chen Fangqiu, trying to scare Chen Fangqiu away.

Chen Fangqiu gave Shen Xuewei a push, and a gust of cool wind from the doorway sobered her up a bit.

Realizing what he had done, he felt extremely remorseful.

Being stared at like that by Da Huang only fueled his anger and embarrassment.

He kicked Big Yellow in a fit of rage, yelling, "Damn it, you stupid dog, you can't even tell the difference between owner and stranger!"

His kick was extremely powerful, sending Big Yellow flying and crashing into the door with a loud bang.

He kicked the car, leaving a mess on the ground, and then calmly went back to his room to calm down.

The kick was aimed at Da Huang, but it also hit Shen Xuewei.

Her eyes were glazed over as she touched Big Yellow's gradually cooling body, overwhelmed by guilt and remorse.

If she doesn't come back this time, will Da Huang not die?

There won't be any arguments at home as long as she's not there?

Grandma Xi and the others rushed over and helped Shen Xuewei up, their eyes filled with worry.

"Weiwei, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"

"Please say something, don't scare us, okay?"

"It's all your uncle's fault. He drank so much on such a fine day and caused such a drunken scene."

Shen Xuewei pushed them aside and lunged at Dahuang.

Upon touching Dahuang's completely cold body, tears instantly streamed down her face.

"Big Yellow is dead."

Her tone was soft, yet so powerful that it was impossible to ignore.
