Shen Xiuxiu returned to her parents' home angrily and threw herself on the bed as soon as she entered the door.
Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Cailan's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward to ask, "Xiu Xiu, what happened? Did you have a fight with Youwei?"
With tears in her eyes, Shen Xiuxiu recounted what had happened.
"Mom, Zhao Youwei doesn't support me. I've had enough of my husband's family. I want to start my own business."
His tone was full of grievance and anger.
After hearing this, Liu Cailan was extremely anxious. How could this be possible?
She held Shen Xiuxiu's hand and gently advised: "Xiuxiu, Mom knows you are feeling miserable, but Youwei is usually very nice to you. You two should talk it out and don't let this hurt your relationship."
Shen Xiuxiu refused to listen. She felt that she had had enough. "Mom, I've had enough of my husband's family. I want to start my own business and let them see that I, Shen Xiuxiu, am capable."
Liu Cailan sighed. She knew her daughter's temper. She thought for a moment and said, "Xiu Xiu, doing business is a good thing, but you have to be cautious and not be as impulsive as you were last time."
When Shen Xiuxiu heard Liu Cailan mention the last incident, she was furious: "Mom, don't mention that. I was harmed by Shen Anan! If you and Dad don't support me, I will do it myself!"
Liu Cailan looked at her daughter and knew that she was determined to do business, but she was more worried about Shen Yaozu.
How much do you think she and her husband can earn by doing odd jobs everywhere? She is pinching her pennies every day just to save money for her son's marriage. How can she afford to support Shen Xiuxiu's business?
"Xiu Xiu, Mom supports you, but you also have to think about Yao Zu. He doesn't have a job yet, so you have to help him."
When Shen Xiuxiu heard this, she stood up in anger and yelled, "Mom, are you kidding me? I can't even take care of myself, and you want me to pay Shen Yaozu? He's a grown man, can't he make money himself?"
Liu Cailan felt upset after being scolded by Shen Xiuxiu, but she still endured it: "Xiuxiu, Yaozu is your brother, we have to help each other."
Shen Xiuxiu stood up angrily and pointed at Liu Cailan.
"Mom, you only know how to side with Shen Yaozu. What about me? Who am I? Shen Anan was right to leave. She is now being held in high esteem by the Huo family. What about me? I am just like a rotten vegetable leaf in the field. Who cares about me? They all want to get money from me!"
Liu Cailan looked at Shen Xiuxiu, tears almost coming out: "Xiuxiu, Mom didn't mean that. Mom also loves you, but Yaozu..."
Liu Cailan was very anxious. She knew that she couldn't persuade Shen Xiuxiu this time, but she was also worried that if Shen Xiuxiu stayed at home like this, there would be one more mouth to feed at home.
"Xiu Xiu, Mom knows you're in a bad mood, but it's not a good idea for you to stay at your parents' house like this. You should go back and have a good talk with Youwei."
Shen Xiuxiu was unmoved. She sat on the bed, determined not to leave: "Mom, I won't leave. I will wait at home until Zhao Youwei comes to beg me. I want him to know that I, Shen Xiuxiu, am not someone who can be bullied."
Liu Cailan looked at Shen Xiuxiu and knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Zhao Youwei would come quickly to take the people away!
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xiaoyu's family came to Shen Anan's home carrying large and small bags of New Year's goods. The Spring Festival couplets and lanterns outside the door reflected a festive atmosphere, and the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, giving the space a strong New Year feel.
Shen Chunsheng trotted over and knocked on the door, his voice full of excitement: "Sister An An, we are here to wish you a happy new year!"
Shen Anan heard it and a surprised smile appeared on her face. She walked quickly to the door, opened it, and looked at the familiar face in front of her, and a warm current surged in her heart.
“Come in quickly, it’s cold outside.” Shen Anan greeted warmly, while taking the New Year’s goods from Shen Xiaoyu.
Shen Dahai and his wife also came in with a kind smile, holding some homemade bacon and sausages in their hands: "An An, Happy New Year, this is what we made at home, let me give you a try."
Shen Anan took it gratefully and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, uncle, aunt, for thinking of me every year."
The family entered the house. The heating and the aroma of food made people feel warm and happy. Shen Anan was busy preparing tea, Shen Xiaoyu was helping to put out the New Year goods, and Chunsheng was sitting aside stiffly.
As everyone sat around the dinner table, Shen Dahai couldn't help but mention Old Mrs. Shen, whose health was getting worse and worse.
"An An, your grandma hasn't been feeling well lately. Please go back and see her when you have time."
Shen Anan felt nervous after hearing this. She knew her grandmother was old, but she had always been in good health. But now that her uncle said this, she was afraid that it was really serious. Her eyes were a little wet, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Uncle, I understand. I will go back to see grandma tomorrow."
Shen Xiaoyu held Shen Anan's hand and comforted her softly: "Sister Anan, don't worry too much, grandma will be lucky, she will definitely get better."
Shen Anan nodded, still panicking.
The next day, she packed up, took some gifts and medicines, and set off for her hometown. She was both worried and excited. She was worried about her grandmother's health and looked forward to reuniting with her family and spending the Spring Festival together.
But when she reached the entrance of Xiaohegou Village, she stopped again.
"An An, what's wrong? Let's go!"
Zhao Lijuan was a little confused, but she understood the next moment, "Your grandma is so old, what doesn't she understand? She can understand what you do!"
After hearing this, Shen Anan nodded heavily and walked towards her grandmother's house.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw her grandmother leaning on a crutch, tremblingly moving towards the outside of the house.
