Chapter 145 It’s time to confront Mr. Shen and his wife



"As long as you don't give in and don't pay, Shen Xiuxiu won't get it. You just want your son to wake up, right?"

When Mrs. Zhou heard what Shen Anan said, her eyes lit up.

Tell me, this guy looks young, but how come he is so active? It immediately became clear why she came here!

"Anyway, as long as you don't give in, your son will wake up one day. If it doesn't work, go find out where Shen Xiuxiu is and I'll go over to take a look."

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhou was stunned.

"What is your relationship with Shen Xiuxiu?"

People get smarter as they get older. Even at this point, can't Old Lady Zhou see that the two of them have some connection?

Shen Anan didn't say it directly.

"Anyway, Shen Xiuxiu and I don't have much friendship. What she did to me was even more outrageous than what she did to your family. I can't possibly help her, so don't worry!"

Seeing that everyone said so, Old Mrs. Zhou felt relieved.

"Okay, I'll go ask around. You'd better ask her to return the betrothal money to us. Then we don't have to bother Old Shen and his wife, don't you think?"

"Um."

Shen Anan responded.

You said that she did force Shen Xiuxiu to pay back the money, but Zhou Shouye didn't want the money anymore, and was fooled by others?

But she was too lazy to say anything. The most urgent thing was to get rid of the old lady.

Shen Anan sent Old Lady Zhou away and returned to the house.

Uncle Shen was sitting on the kang, holding a pipe in his hand, puffing. When he saw Shen Anan come in, he asked, "Anan, why did Old Lady Zhou come to our house? Is she here to ask for the betrothal gift again?"

"Uncle, this is not about the betrothal money. Old Mrs. Zhou just stopped by to take a look."

Uncle Shen listened and didn't think much about it. He nodded and asked about selling fish again: "An An, how is your fish business going?"

Shen Anan sighed. She knew that she had to tell the truth about this matter: "Uncle, I have found someone to lead the fishing. Now we just need a boat. If there is a boat, the fish from Wangjiazhuang can be delivered to my restaurant first. Unfortunately, there is no boat now, so this matter is difficult to handle."

When Mr. Shen heard this, his eyes lit up. "Boat? An An, I have an apprentice who is a fisherman. Now he is doing transportation on his own. Who knows, maybe there will be a chance."

Shen Anan was so excited when she heard this. She didn't expect that Uncle Shen had such a way.

She quickly asked, "Really? Sir, where is your apprentice? Can I borrow a boat?"

Uncle Shen smiled and waved his hand: "An An, don't worry, I will take you to find him and see if I can help."

When I arrived at the home of Uncle Shen's apprentice, I happened to meet him sitting in front of the door with a worried look on his face. When I asked him, he said he was troubled by the lack of freight.

Uncle Shen’s apprentice, Li Haizi, is an honest fisherman who makes a living by fishing and transporting goods.

"Haizi, this is Shen Anan. She wants your help with something." Uncle Shen stepped forward and introduced the two parties.

When Li Haizi heard that it was Uncle Shen who introduced him, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face: "Uncle Shen, what can I help you with?"

Seeing this, Shen Anan told her about wanting to transport fish to Hecheng.

After hearing this, Li Haizi's eyes lit up. He was just worried about not having enough freight to transport, and this was like a timely help to him.

"An An, this is easy. I happen to have a boat and can help you transport it!" Li Haizi said with a bigger smile on his face.

Shen Anan was so happy when she heard this, she knew there was hope for this matter.

But she had a condition: "Brother Haizi, I have to wait until the fish are shipped to Hecheng before I can get paid. Do you think this is okay?"

When Li Haizi heard this, his face suddenly became a little unhappy.

"An An, this... this is a bit difficult to handle. I also have to pay the brothers on the boat, and this is our first cooperation. If the fish are delivered and you don't pay me, then I..."

Shen Anan looked at Li Haizi. She knew that this matter could not be forced. She thought for a while and said, "Brother Haizi, I understand your difficulties. How about this? I can give you a part of the deposit first, and when the fish is delivered and there is no problem, I will give you the rest. Do you think this is okay?"

But Li Haizi still felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"An An, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have to think about this matter. I have to discuss it with the brothers on the ship."

Shen Anan nodded. She knew that this matter could not be rushed and she had to give Li Haizi time to think about it.

After all, the person Li Daquan contacted before backed out because of this reason.

However, she couldn't pay the full amount. First, it was their first cooperation and neither of them knew whether the other party was reliable. Second, she had to determine how much damage Li Haizi had incurred in transporting the fish. If the damage was too much, she would have to assess the loss later. If she had paid all the money, it would be difficult to argue about it.

Thinking of this, she said softly: "Brother Haizi, I understand. I won't force you to do this. Please think about it and tell me if you have any news."

Uncle Shen looked at Shen Anan and Li Haizi. He knew that this was not easy, but he also saw Shen Anan's sincerity and determination. He patted Li Haizi on the shoulder and said, "Haizi, An An is a good girl. She is trying to find a way out for the fish in our Wangjiazhuang. It's not easy. Please help her."

Listening to his master's words, Li Haizi nodded. He knew that Uncle Shen was putting pressure on him, but he also understood that he had to think carefully about this matter!

After leaving Li Haizi's home, Shen Anan returned to the guesthouse. As soon as she stepped through the threshold, her face was somewhat solemn.

She found Xie Shiqi and briefly told him about the discussion she had had with Li Haizi regarding transporting fish. Xie Shiqi frowned when he heard this. The name Li Haizi sounded familiar, but after thinking for a long time he still had no clue. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that for now. The main thing is to wait for the person to figure it out."

Seeing that Xie Shiqi didn't want to talk about it, Shen Anan changed the subject and talked about Shen Xiuxiu: "Shiqi, about Shen Xiuxiu's matter, I think I have to confront Mr. Shen and his wife."

Hearing this, Xie Shiqi sighed. He knew that Shen Anan couldn't bear it in her heart. He scratched his head and said, "An An, it's okay to show your cards. I think Zhou Shouye has been bewitched by Shen Xiuxiu. You should make it clear to Mr. and Mrs. Shen that I am their biological granddaughter, so that they don't have to worry about Shen Xiuxiu, who is not their biological granddaughter."

Shen Anan listened and nodded. She actually thought so too.

Originally, if Shen Xiuxiu had not returned to Wangjiazhuang, she would have planned to drag on the matter, but now Shen Xiuxiu is here, and this person is too troublesome. Instead of being irritated by Shen Xiuxiu, the old couple might as well speak up first.

She sighed, "Shiqi, I think so too. We can't let Mr. and Mrs. Shen worry about Shen Xiuxiu anymore. I'll find a chance to tell them about this in the next two days."
