Hearing the sound coming from the doorway, Shen Jichuan stood at the entrance of the main room.
He said to Wen Qiao, "Let him in."
Shen Jichuan was wearing black casual pants, a matching jacket, and white sneakers.
She looks young and energetic.
The key point is that there is no sign of aging or unhappiness on his face.
It's clear that Shen Jichuan is living a very happy and content life.
You can tell from that state of mind.
In contrast, Shen Xiao looked exhausted.
Wen Qiao opened the door and let Shen Xiao in.
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao and said softly:
“Aren’t you going to the labor market with Mom? Go ahead and do your work. I’ll look after the kids at home. Call me when it’s lunchtime and we’ll go out to eat.”
Wen Qiao nodded, "Okay."
She glanced at Shen Xiao, then at Shen Jichuan, her eyes filled with worry for him.
Shen Jichuan smiled at her, indicating that she should not worry.
Wen Qiao then turned around, went back to get her bag, and pushed her bicycle to the Wu family's house.
Shen Jichuan looked at the mourning cloth tied around Shen Xiao's arm.
He said it in a flat tone, with a hint of indifference:
"You think your grandmother's death has anything to do with me? Don't you suspect that your father is using your grandmother's death to get back at me one last time?"
"Shen Xiao, don't make yourself look so pitiful and innocent. Do you think your current situation and position are my fault?"
Shen Jichuan sneered and said, "To tell you the truth, you are insignificant to me. You are not worth me using means to transfer you to a remote place."
Shen Xiao was surprised, his eyes filled with confusion.
"If it wasn't you, then who was it? For the past few years, I've been suppressed and haven't been able to get up at all."
“Your father has offended someone. He and Yang Hongyu have colluded and done too many despicable things.”
"Yang Hongyu has many political enemies in the military. The fact that you were transferred to a remote area instead of being discharged and kicked out is largely thanks to me, your uncle."
"Do you really think that when they investigated Yang Hongyu, they didn't investigate your Shen family's eldest branch?"
Shen Xiao was momentarily stunned. He questioned Shen Jichuan, "What are you saying? Did you ever help me before?"
Shen Jichuan said indifferently, "I said I have nothing to do with you, I won't help you, and I haven't said anything bad about you. To me, putting aside our uncle-nephew relationship, you do have some ability."
"But you made the mistake of listening to your father and getting close to the Yang family."
"In the military region, you are loyal to the army, not to any particular person. If you can't understand this, you don't need to stay in the army."
Shen Xiao's eyes showed a hint of anxiety and unease.
He always felt that his parents were hiding something from him.
That's why he kept misunderstanding his uncle, Shen Jichuan.
He needs to go back and ask his parents to find out if there's anything wrong with it.
Now, Shen Xiao is more concerned about what Shen Jichuan said to his grandmother when he went to the hospital that day.
"Let's put that aside for now. I want to ask you, is my grandmother's death related to you?"
Shen Jichuan said, “It’s alright. Her time is almost up, it’s time for her to die anyway. You should ask your father why he invited me over when your grandmother was dying, and why he said it was your grandmother who said those words…”
"Shen Xiao, I have long since lost all feelings for you and for your main branch of the family. I'm in a good mood today, so I'm making this clear to you. But next time you come, I won't be in such a good mood."
"I've finished speaking. If you have any questions, go ask your parents. Don't come to me all the time."
"Given our uncle-nephew relationship, it's impossible for me to see you in my current capacity."
Shen Jichuan has made it clear enough.
Shen Xiao didn't even have a chance to ask any extra questions before leaving the family compound in a daze, his mind unclear.
