Shen Huixiu pursed her lips, the metallic taste of blood in her mouth stimulating her senses. She felt that making such a fuss was really not worth it.
"I don't want to get married," and for this reason, she became even more determined. She would make a scene if she wanted, but she had to break ties with the Shen family.
Just like Shen Fenghua.
Otherwise, how could life be good if you were entangled by such a group of bloodsuckers?
"Not marrying?" Father Shen laughed angrily. "Whether you marry or not is not for you to decide!"
Shen Huixiu raised her voice, "Even if I had to go to the countryside to become a peasant, I would never marry that bastard Wang Xingda! Let me tell you, if you're planning to sell me for a fortune, you can forget about it completely. I will never do as you wish..."
The sounds of arguing could be heard coming from inside.
A man with a cigarette between his fingers stood at the entrance of the Shen family's house. He raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
The underling beside him trembled, "Big brother, should I go instead..."
"No need." Wang Xingda, who had listened to the whole thing, raised his hand and said earnestly, "You brat, how many times have I taught you to save face for yourself? You slapped me through the door. How shameless do you think your brother is to offer up your face and let her slap you in the other way? It's not worth it, and it's not necessary."
Wang Xingda has no shortage of wives, as long as he wants.
Since Shen Huixiu considers him worthless, then there's no need for him to go to great lengths for her.
"Then..." The younger brother hesitated, looking at his hands covered in stuff. "What should we do now?"
"What else can we do?" Wang Xingda mumbled, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "Didn't you say your mom's a great cook?" He glanced at the two pounds of fresh, fatty pork he'd specially gotten for himself. "Let's go to your house and have your mom show off her skills. This time, we'll all eat something good together!"
The younger brother's eyes lit up instantly. "Yes, brother! I'll do whatever you say!"
Let's go~
No one could hear the conversation between the two, but they heard every word of Shen Huixiu's argument with the Shen family.
After Wang Xingda and his henchmen ran away, the people in the tenement building started to pop their heads out one after another. Their eyes were shining brightly. Wow, this is a live scene!
If I'm not mistaken, the guy carrying all those gifts is the rascal who's always arguing with the Shen family.
Tsk tsk tsk, with looks like that, marrying into that family isn't a bad idea. At least her basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter will be guaranteed.
The neighbors whispered among themselves, "Hey, did you see that? That huge piece of meat looks so tempting. If it were in my hands, my whole family could eat it happily for three days!"
"Who says otherwise? And those peach shortbreads, who can afford that? Buying them by the bag! Oh dear, it's a good thing those little brats who got sick aren't here. If they saw them, they would have caused a huge uproar!"
"Sigh, we should save where we can and spend where we can. The kids shouldn't go hungry. It's okay to buy them something to try every now and then."
Who wouldn't want that? Every family loves its own child, but we just don't have the money.
“You make it sound so easy,” Auntie said with a bitter smile. “We only make that little money a month, and we have to take care of the whole family’s food, drink and daily needs. We also have to send some money back to the old lady in the countryside every now and then. Buying peach shortbread sounds easy, but where are we supposed to find the money and the ration coupons?”
Yes, every family has its own problems.
"Hey, don't worry too much. The harvest has been alright these past two years. At least we can fill our stomachs. In the past, we would have to tie our necks now."
"That's true..."
People are always resilient to hardship; even a little bit of sweetness now can make them live their lives honestly in the present moment.
Watching Wang Xingda carry the things upstairs, and then take them away exactly as they were ten minutes later, Shen Fenghua, who was sitting under the sycamore tree, slowly poked her head out.
Hey, it looks like the Shen family didn't say anything nice.
She was extremely satisfied. She took out three yuan from her pocket, rolled it up, and stuffed it into a crack in the rocks in the garden.
Then they pat their behinds, accomplished their mission, and leave.
You know, she only came over to see what was going on during lunchtime, and now that the excitement is over, it's time for her to leave.
At the entrance of the tenement building, Wan Shuhua was playing with her two children. Her eyes lit up as she watched Shen Fenghua's figure disappear from sight.
"Hey, Shuhua, where are you going?" She had just gotten up to leave when someone grabbed her wrist. "We haven't finished talking yet."
"What are you saying!" Wan Shuhua couldn't wait to go and see what was going on over there. She had given a heads-up, so even if she hadn't done anything meritorious, she should at least have done her part.
You should at least give something in return.
"Who was that person just now? He was carrying quite a lot of things."
Wan Shuhua was annoyed and shook off the hand that was watching the commotion. "It's my parents' blind date with her. So what? He brought a lot of things. You can be envious, but it's not yours!"
"Oh," Wan Shuhua rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed by what she'd been told. "You talk like it's your own business. People brought it over nicely, and then took it away nicely too."
"My high-achieving girl didn't like me!" Wan Shuhua has now been brainwashed by Shen Fenghua's charisma.
She now firmly believes that working alongside Shen Fenghua is absolutely the right thing to do. Therefore, when she discovered the quarrel in the Shen family, she immediately ran over to inform Shen Fenghua, and then quietly returned home, bringing her two children downstairs, ready to watch the show.
Sure enough, this second sister-in-law was no pushover; she brought over the main target of today's argument.
They came to my door with lots of bags and packages, and then came back with lots of bags and packages again not long after. It was obvious that we hadn't reached an agreement.
Hey!
Second Aunt is extraordinary.
Good heavens, what kind of commotion is this?
Looking at the aunt's darting eyes, Wan Shuhua thought of the aunt's daughter and, out of kindness, warned her, "Don't get any funny ideas. Let me tell you, it's not certain whether a wealthy family would even want your daughter. Besides, once she's in there, it's hard to say whether she'll come out alive."
Wan Shuhua knew Wang Xingda's background clearly; he wasn't a good person. If a girl from a good family married into his family, she would suffer.
Her well-intentioned reminder was not heeded by her aunt. Instead, she felt that Wan Shuhua was really stingy. If she couldn't have her own family's children, she wouldn't let others have theirs either. Since that was the case, she would go anyway.
My aunt considers herself to be a beauty when she was young.
Her daughter inherited her beauty and was a well-known pretty girl in the apartment building. So young and beautiful, what could anyone possibly not like?
Wan Shuhua didn't care about any of that; she couldn't wait to take a stroll around the small flower bed over there.
Searching for the treasures left behind by Shen Fenghua.

On the other side.
"Did you do this?"
