"Is this the place?" Feng Lingyu looked at the busy alley in front of him. It was obviously where people from less well-off families lived.
This kind of large courtyard house is usually inhabited by several families, with each family occupying two or three rooms, making it so crowded that there is no room to move.
And because there are not enough houses to live in, many people build small sheds next to their houses.
No one cares about these illegal buildings, and it is very difficult to walk in the yard.
It is said that Grandpa Shen used to be a high-ranking official in the army. How could his sister live in such a bad place?
Shen Huaiyu said calmly, "My little aunt was determined to marry her current husband, and everything was set in stone when my grandfather came back from the war."
So this is a rich girl meets poor boy plot?
Feng Lingyu scoffed at this, thinking that this kind of thing would not have any good outcome.
"My aunt and my grandfather have always had a good relationship, so my grandfather often helps them. That family doesn't dare to treat my aunt badly."
Shen Huaiyu continued, "My little aunt is also a tough person, so when I went to the countryside, I entrusted Huaiqing to her."
After hearing what happened, Feng Lingyu was too tired to complain. Should he say that this is just the carelessness of men?
Even if Shen Huaiyu is so smart, he can't see through people's hearts?
His great-aunt used to be a rich lady, but she married a poor boy and never regained her former glory.
Unlike Shen Xiuyi who returned in glory after winning the battle, she was in such a miserable state. Would her mentality really not be unbalanced?
How could she really care about Shen Xiuyi's family? She just saw that her eldest brother was in a high position and could support her.
However, Feng Lingyu did not say these words out loud. After all, these were just his guesses.
Some things just have to be seen with your own eyes.
"Let's go in and take a look." Feng Lingyu
On the way to the compound, someone kept looking at Shen Huaiyu and Feng Lingyu.
After all, both of them look really outstanding, and their clothes and makeup seem to be very good. At first glance, they are children from wealthy families.
A few people sat aside and whispered.
I wonder who these two rich men are looking for here?
Or does this mean that someone has a rich relative?
Speaking of which, didn’t Shen Qingping from their alley used to have a rich older brother? Thanks to this older brother’s financial support, the Ma family lived the best life here!
Shen Qingping is also the boss at home. She is very arrogant and doesn't want to talk to anyone she meets in the alley.
Unfortunately... ever since her eldest brother fell from power, her family's life has become much worse than before.
"I heard that Shen Qingping's elder brother even gave her a child to raise."
"Don't mention it, that child is having a miserable time now!"
"Ah... Brother Shen Qingping was so good to her before. She is so heartless to do this!"
"Tsk, conscience? How much is conscience worth? In this day and age, isn't it the most important thing to have enough food to eat?"
Feng Lingyu heard the conversations of the women using his mental power.
I didn't expect that all my guesses would come true.
Looking at Shen Huaiyu who was looking forward to it, I hope he won’t see any bad scenes later…
"Chen Huaiqing! You little bastard, did you steal the two white steamed buns in the kitchen?"
Shen Qingping's second daughter-in-law Liu Xiaocui stood at the door of her house with her hands on her hips and cursed.
I don’t know why my mother-in-law wanted to bring a child back home. He can eat for free. What a shame!
Shen Huaiqing stood in the yard with his neck stiffened: "It wasn't me! It was Ma Dabao who ate it!"
"Mom! That's what he ate. I saw it! I saw it! Brother, did you see it too?"
Ma Dabao on the side laughed excitedly and even pulled his younger brother to testify.
Humph, let this little bastard get a beating and see if he dares not to play with me in the future?
In fact, Liu Xiaocui also knew that it was impossible for Shen Huaiqing to steal the steamed buns, but she was angry.
Looking at Shen Huaiqing standing aside, he rushed forward, pulled him over and started beating him.
The woman's slap landed on Shen Huaidan's thin back, making a thumping sound.
Shen Huaiqing's tears of pain kept welling up in his eyes, but he still insisted on not crying.
When he was wronged at the beginning, he would still make a few excuses, but now he knows that no matter what he says, it will be useless, so he doesn't say anything.
As for my aunt, she would always come out and say a few words after being beaten, and I had long lost hope.
"Tell me, are you wrong? Ah! Why don't you say anything? You little bastard, you dare to cheat today, and you won't be in trouble tomorrow? Talk to me?"
Seeing that Shen Huaiqing remained silent, Liu Xiaocui became more and more angry, and her attacks became heavier.
Ma Dabao and his brother cheered on the side: "Oh, the thief got beaten, the thief got beaten."
In the room, Shen Qingping and her eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Xiuxiu sat together doing needlework.
Hearing the chaos outside, a flash of disdain passed through Zhang Xiuxiu's eyes.
"Mom, is my sister-in-law out there hitting on Huaiqing again?"
Shen Qingping knew exactly what her eldest daughter-in-law was thinking.
"Okay, stop trying to stir up trouble. I'll just go out and take a look later."
Zhang Xiuxiu secretly curled her lips, thinking of the hypocritical old woman.
It sounds nice, but you're just waiting for the child to get beaten before you go out and pretend to care.
She’s afraid that the neighbors will say she’s mean!
However, all the bad reputation was borne by that idiot Liu Xiaocui, and she was happy to watch the fun.
Anyway, we didn’t suffer any loss.
"Mom, why did you bring that child home in the first place?"
Zhang Xiuxiu asked tentatively.
Speaking of this, Shen Qingping also felt annoyed.
At that time, she was thinking that her elder brother, an official of such a high rank, would not fall so easily. What if he got back on his feet in the future?
Since she is helping him raise his children, wouldn't her relationship with her eldest brother's family be closer?
It will be easier for her grandchildren to find a good job in the future.
Who would have thought that two years later, the situation outside had become increasingly severe, and it seemed that there was no hope for my eldest brother to return.
So recently she didn't do anything when she saw Liu Xiaocui bullying Shen Huaiqing. If the eldest brother can't come back, what's the point of keeping him?
But she didn't plan to tell her daughter-in-law these words.
"I have my reasons for taking it back, why are you asking so many questions?"
"Then, mother, the Shen family is so rich, didn't they leave you some when they left?"
Zhang Xiuxiu continued to ask without giving up.
If there is really money left, the eldest wife cannot suffer any loss.
Otherwise, what if my mother-in-law favors the second wife and spends the money?
But she knew that the old woman had always valued Liu Xiaocui's two eldest grandsons.
It’s a pity that my womb was not cooperative and only gave birth to one son, and the rest were all losses.
"Money? How could they have any money left at that time?" Shen Qingping said indifferently.
Zhang Xiuxiu is always full of ulterior motives, and this person is trying to take her money.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking in the house, Liu Xiaocui's scream came from outside: "Ah! Who are you?"
