Mentioning this, Mother Shen's face fell. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When she first moved here, the living conditions were worlds apart.
Even in her sleep, she would still curse Shen Fenghua relentlessly in the middle of the night.
But from what Shen Fenghua meant...
For a moment, her eyes darted around.
"This house of yours doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the government, right?" To be precise, it belongs to the steel mill.
It was only because Shen's father and Shen Jianguo worked at the steel factory that their family was able to live here. But if Shen's father and Shen Jianguo left the steel factory, then naturally the Shen family would not be able to stay here.
They naturally ended up on the streets.
When Chen's mother came to her senses, she looked at the smiling Chen Fenghua and felt a chill run down her spine.
This person...
“Really,” Shen Fenghua said earnestly, “it’s not easy for me to hire two people for this steel plant, but if I want to get rid of two people, there are thousands of people who would like to help me.”
To put it bluntly, these positions are all one-person-one-jobs.
If a new person wants to join, they can only wait for the previous person who occupied the position to leave.
But who would want to leave such a wonderful place?
As long as Shen Fenghua reveals even the slightest hint, someone will naturally step in to deal with them. In the end, Shen Fenghua will still reap the benefits of those who took the positions of the Shen family father and son.
However, under normal circumstances, Shen Fenghua doesn't want to push things too far.
The best outcome would be for them and the Shen family to not interfere with each other. Even if they bumped into each other while walking, it would be best to pretend they didn't know each other.
But if Shen Fenghua really goes that far, then be prepared for a counterattack from the Shen family at any time.
It has both advantages and disadvantages.
She didn't want to go too far, with blood on her hands, especially for such a lazy person; it really wasn't worth it.
"You...you can't do this!"
Mother Shen regretted it. She now desperately wanted to go back in time and slap herself. What was she thinking?
Why did you have to be so foolish as to provoke Shen Fenghua? Wouldn't it be better if we just stayed peacefully by each other's side?
"Why can't I?" Shen Fenghua retorted. "I just learned it from you. You were unjust first, so don't blame me for being unjust later. You did the first thing, so do you expect me to do the fifteenth?"
Mother Shen was speechless. She stammered for a long time, "I...I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never dare to do it again."
“I hope you remember what I said today,” Shen Fenghua lowered her eyes and said seriously, “This is the first time I’m giving you a chance. If there’s a second time, you can pack your bags and get out. For example, you could give up your city life and go back to the countryside to tend your little plot of land and become the peasant and country bumpkin that your darling despises the most.
After making the threat, Shen Fenghua turned and left. For some reason, the three burly men felt that she was as docile as a quail.
Despite having a very strong presence, when placed after Shen Fenghua, it seems to have a very weak presence.
After the four left, the neighbors who had been secretly watching from the corner cautiously peeked out.
"Wow, this Miss Shen is really impressive."
"That's impressive, they even dared to smash up my parents' house."
"Oh, you're being sour again? So what if you smashed it? Having parents like these is worse than being born from a rock, so you wouldn't be driven crazy every day!"
"Oh, you dare to say that? Aren't you afraid of kicking your men out too?"
These were clearly a joke, but the auntie wasn't angry. She just laughed it off and didn't forget to tease Chen's mother, who was crying and wailing inside, "Come on, Fenghua is the most discerning child. Why would she chase my husband away for no reason?"
After saying that, she pouted, her meaning quite clear, "Besides, we shouldn't be like that person in the house, blinded by greed, treating useless things as treasures and mistaking fine pearls for fish eyes."
"Hey, you know what, it's true!"
"..."
After leaving the alley, Shen Fenghua felt much lighter. She pedaled her bicycle with all her might, leading the way.
He called out to the people behind him, "Brothers, don't leave yet. Come to my house for a simple meal. Let me do my part. I'm so grateful for your help this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to keep things under control."
After witnessing Shen Fenghua's fluctuating threats, the three older brothers no longer dared to treat her as a helpless and adorable girl.
He shook his head immediately, "No, no, it's all what I should do."
"What do you mean by 'should' or 'shouldn't'?" Shen Fenghua said sternly, "I have to go, otherwise I won't be able to ask you for favors next time."
Seeing Shen Fenghua's expressionless face, the three burly men's facial muscles trembled, and they said in unison, "Go!"
Shen Fenghua was satisfied.
The three people trailing behind, seeing that Shen Fenghua didn't turn around, and with the noise from the road, began to whisper among themselves, saying in a voice they could hear each other, "Goodness, these days women really do hold up half the sky."
“Who says otherwise?” He looked at Shen Fenghua with envy, his eyes filled with longing and anticipation, and he was very pleased with himself. “I want to find a wife like that in the future, someone who can manage the household, that would be great!”
"Hey, aren't you afraid?"
"So what if you're afraid of your wife?" the burly man next to him chimed in. "Being afraid of your wife isn't shameful; not having a wife is shameful. Besides, you have no idea how wonderful it is to be managed by your wife!"
Do you have one?
These words were like a blow to the head, piercing to the heart. "I didn't do anything wrong, but you said it as if you did."
Good brothers are meant to hurt each other!
The three brothers each had their own considerations. They were often on the road driving, and sometimes, to put it bluntly, they would be kidnapped and never seen again, dead or alive.
After all, a truckload of goods is very tempting, attracting hungry wolves and desperate criminals all the time.
Why are transport drivers well-paid? Because they could lose their lives!
People like them are all tied to their belts by the life of supporting their families.
If there were someone like Shen Fenghua who could stand on his own, was smart, and could protect the whole family, they would be willing to pay a dowry of 500 yuan to get a wife.
Unexpected events can happen at any time. If they really pass away, having such a strong-willed wife means that at least their children and parents won't be easily bullied by others.
The more I think about it, the more envious I become. It's quite rare to find someone with a personality like Shen Fenghua.
Shen Fenghua had no idea that her personality had already won the favor of the burly man behind her. Right now, all she could think about was what kind of food she should treat these people to when she got home.
"Grandma, I'm back!"
Grandma rushed out to greet him, "You child, why are you so late today?"
Grandma froze as soon as she reached the door.
