Chapter 97: The second child is useless because of you guys

Chen Jintao never expected to hear any good words from this grandma, so even when she was scolding her, she still didn't show any extra expression.

The old man knew why his granddaughter had this attitude towards her grandmother. You know, when the eldest son and daughter-in-law insisted on sending their daughter to school, his wife tried to stop him in every way and said a lot of unpleasant words.

At that time, the family had not yet been divided, and the old lady was not willing to spend money for her granddaughter's schooling. However, the old lady was willing to support her granddaughter, Chen Chunmiao, to go to school, just because of the nonsense told by the old Taoist priest.

In the end, it was the Xu family who paid for the granddaughter's schooling. Despite this, the old lady was often sarcastic and made indirect accusations.

In her opinion, Shen Jintao didn't need to go to school at all. She should help with housework at home and earn work points.

Unfortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law is not someone who is easy to bully. No matter how much the old lady tries to stop her, it is useless. Unless she treats them equally and lets Chen Chunmiao and her brother not go to school, she will never agree to let her daughter drop out of school.

How could the old lady bear to do that? After all, she believed what the old Taoist priest said and thought that the second branch of the family would surely be very successful. If one wanted to stand out, didn't one have to learn knowledge?

Although Shen Jintao eventually graduated from high school, she was never close to her grandmother.

"That's enough! Are you done? Go back now!"

Wang Lanxiu pouted, but finally followed her husband back reluctantly. She kept cursing all the way, saying that Chen Jintao was unfilial and only remembered to buy gifts for the old man, such expensive cigarettes and alcohol, but she didn't get a piece of cloth.

After hearing this, Mr. Shen felt annoyed. "Before you expect your child to be filial to you, can you think about how you treated her in the past? I told you a long time ago that those nonsense are totally unbelievable. Look who has the future? If you had been nicer to Taozi in the past, would she not remember you as her grandmother? That child is not an unfilial person, it's you who made the child alienated from you. If you were smarter, you would know how to speak nicely. But you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. The boss and others invited us to have dinner, you shouldn't say something nice, and you shouldn't talk nonsense there. I don't even want to say anything to you!"

Wang Lanxiu felt very wronged. "What did I say? You just can't stand me?"

"What did you say? Don't you have any idea in your mind? You are always speaking in a sarcastic tone, saying that they called a group of outsiders instead of Shen Jianguo's family. Is there something wrong with your brain? The Xu family is the eldest daughter-in-law's family, and the Huo family is Taozi's in-laws' family. Who is the outsider?"

Mr. Shen really didn't want to say anything more to this old woman, but he had to. If this person continued to be confused, sooner or later the eldest brother's family would completely alienate her.

"Their family is so capable, why can't they help Jianguo more? Jianguo is his younger brother, his biological brother. Jianguo wants to be the captain, just let him be. He will be a great man sooner or later. You are still suppressing him and not letting him rise. Is this something that a biological father and brother can do?"

Wang Lanxiu was also angry.

"Bah! Don't you know what kind of person your own son is? Let's be frank. I look down on people like Shen Jianguo. If he wasn't my own son, I wouldn't even look at him. If he had good intentions, why did everyone vote for Jianmin instead of him? He is not suitable for the job of team leader. He just doesn't have good relationships with people!"

"You don't understand anything and you're just whining. If a team leader doesn't get along well with his team members, who will listen to him? Even if he arranges work for them, it won't work. Then the entire Huaxi team will be finished!"

Now it's still a collective, working collectively and sharing food collectively. If no one obeys the work arrangements, how can we get the work done? The food that is distributed at the end of the year.

How could Wang Lanxiu listen to that? In her heart, the second son is the best. The second son has not achieved anything yet and it is all because of her husband’s lack of help. Obviously, as the previous team leader, he could have recommended the second son to be the team leader.

Although Mr. Shen didn't do anything particularly remarkable when he was the team leader, the Huaxi Team was still well managed, and the commune gave him some face.

In other words, Wang Lanxiu was not unaware that if the current trend continued, the eldest family would get better and better, while the second family would remain mediocre.

However, she has been biased all her life, so how could she admit that she had chosen the wrong person from the beginning?

Wang Lanxiu was unwilling to admit her mistakes, so she stubbornly believed that as long as she was steadfast in being good to the second brother's family, one day she would be able to enjoy a happy life with the help of the second brother's family.

As soon as Mr. Shen saw her expression, he knew that she didn't listen to what he said, and he didn't want to say more to her. There was no way to communicate with this person, so he just walked forward on his own.

And Shen Jianmin's family...

Old Mrs. Xu was speechless, "Xuemei, you are such a mother-in-law..."

Xu Xuemei naturally understood what her mother meant and sighed, "Anyway, we don't have to live together now, and we've separated. She can favor whoever she wants, and I don't care."

Shen Jianmin also looked apologetic, "Mom, I'm sorry, my mom's words are just so unpleasant to the ear, just pretend you didn't hear it, ah..."

"I know, as long as you and Xuemei are fine, it's fine now that we've separated. You've suffered a lot this time."

Old Mrs. Xu is still satisfied with her son-in-law. Although he is a good man, no matter what happens, her son-in-law always stands on her daughter's side and is not blindly filial, which is a good thing.

She only has this one daughter. If the mother-in-law is like that and the son-in-law is a foolishly filial son-in-law, she doesn't know how difficult her daughter's life will be.

Now my daughter has finally made it, my son-in-law has become the team leader, my granddaughter's husband is also a capable man, and the investment in my granddaughter has paid off.

You have to know that when Chen Jintao was in the newspaper, the Xu family was very happy and proud of it. This was a child raised by their Xu family.

Now that Wang Lanxiu is not around, Shen Jintao went back to her room, took out a stack of banknotes, and stuffed them directly into Old Lady Xu's hands. Even in front of her parents-in-law, Shen Jintao felt justified in taking the money.

"Grandma, this money is to pay you back for the money you paid for my schooling. At that time, the family had not yet split up, and all the money in the family was with my grandma. She was unwilling to pay me back, and it was you who gave me the opportunity to study. Now that I have earned money with the knowledge I have learned, I should pay you back. Here are three hundred yuan and some coupons. Don't refuse, otherwise I will feel bad."
