Chapter 18 The Aunt's Anger
On the way back, she was still thinking to herself, Meng Fan is such a refined gentleman. He doesn't take advantage of others at all, unlike her husband Zhang Hao from her previous life, who would accept everything she gave him without ever reciprocating.
At that time, she was so confused that she couldn't tell the difference between a person and a dog. Fortunately, now everything has started over.
As soon as she arrived at her doorstep, she heard her mother's shrill voice shouting, "Where are my eggs? Where are my cookies? They're all gone! If I find out who took them, I'll skin her alive!"
Shen Yanhong flinched for a moment, calmed down, and then calmly entered the courtyard, pretending that nothing had happened.
Auntie came out just then and, seeing Shen Yanhong enter the house, asked, "Where have you been? Did you take the eggs and biscuits I saved?"
At this moment, Grandma Shen called everyone to eat, and Shen Yanhong hurriedly ran into the main room to help get the bowls and chopsticks, not giving her mother a chance to interrogate her alone.
Jinran was also in the kitchen at that moment, introducing her adorable pet to Sannan, "Sister Sannan, look how majestic my Doujin is!"
San Nan nodded seriously, "That's good. When this dog grows up, can we eat meat?"
Jinran: "!!!"
Jinran hugged Doujin tightly and tried to explain, "This is my dog, not food. You can't eat it. If you want to eat meat, wait until it grows up and let it catch rabbits for you. But you can't eat it."
Sannan sighed regretfully.
Jinran was even more terrified.
Shen Yanhong scoffed disdainfully, "This is really the behavior of an old rich man, begging for attention and teasing others."
Jinran gave Shen Yanhong a deadpan look, then said coldly with a straight face, "Are you suffering from tonsillitis? Why do you get so inflamed?"
After saying that, Jinran carried Doujin into her room and, ignoring everyone, prepared to wash her hands and eat.
The whole family was eating quietly when the eldest aunt started sighing. At first, no one paid much attention, but then she started to sigh louder and louder.
Grandma Shen looked up at her and said, "Can't you eat properly? You've ruined my meal."
The eldest aunt said angrily, "Mother, it's not that I wanted this to happen, but I lost something. How could I not be upset!"
Grandma Shen calmly said, "Are you doubting me? You know I never enter your house."
The eldest aunt said awkwardly, "Mother, I'm not talking about you, but my things are really gone."
Wang Cuifen chuckled and said, "I went back to my parents' house this morning, everyone knows that. Besides, I'm not that greedy to come to your room and take your measly treats."
Shen Yanhong said softly, "Mom, forget it, don't say anymore, my father will get angry later."
I don't know what words hit my aunt's sore spot, but she immediately shouted, "Why shouldn't I say anything? Those things were saved up bit by bit by me, and I wanted to take them back to your uncle. Now everything is gone. Mother, I should also say something I shouldn't say: our family can't have someone who's dishonest."
Jinran thought about it carefully. When she was playing with the dog, she seemed to see something bulging in Shen Yanhong's clothes, as if she was hiding something. At the time, she was expressing her feelings in an artistic way, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Shen Yanhong seems very suspicious.
The uncle, his face grim, said in a low, angry voice, "Alright, if you don't want to eat, go back inside and stop causing trouble here."
Shen Yanhong frowned as she looked at her mother, thinking what a petty and foolish woman she was.
Before her aunt could say anything more, Shen Yanhong pulled her back into the house.
"Mom, I took these eggs and cookies."
"What? You took it? You brat, you've got some nerve, haven't you? You dare to take things from the house!" Auntie shouted angrily.
Shen Yanhong impatiently took out the grain coupons, and said with some reluctance, "I exchanged the eggs for the educated youth. They are new here and we should help them. Besides, they didn't take advantage of us at all. They even gave us national grain coupons. If you take these back to your uncle's house, they will be more prestigious than a few eggs and biscuits."
After a moment of contemplation, the eldest aunt finally calmed down, but still said, "You can't just change it without asking me. It made me lose face at the dinner table."
Shen Yanhong comforted her, "Mom, I know. I'll definitely tell you later. Also, I'm going to high school. The educated youth said that if I have any questions, I can ask them. And Mom, think about it, they're city people. If I get along well with them, it will be good for our family. Don't worry about it so much."
Auntie clutched the grain coupons tightly in her hand, still somewhat displeased, and said, "Why are you still studying at high school? We'll keep you for a few more years, find you a good young man, and you can marry him. Why waste that money?"
