Chen Ru asked the boss for some hot water to boil the dishes and chopsticks, without even looking up:
"What do you want to say? School is only half a month away. Are you going to admit defeat?"
Alas, Chen Ru won’t believe it unless the facts are laid out before her.
Even though Wen Ying had previously told her on the phone that "Shrimp King" was doing good business, Chen Ru still had no idea how much money the stall run by Wen Ying and her students could make.
Wen Ying smiled and said, "There's still half a month left. It's too early to admit defeat now. That's not what I'm talking about."
What Wen Ying wanted to talk about was that Shu Guobing went to Qingshiqiao to do seafood business and snatched away the night snack street store that she had her eyes on.
"Mom, don't you think my uncle is a little petty? He was fired from my uncle's company and now he wants to go to Qingshiqiao to compete with my uncle for business. I said a few words to him at Brother Kai's house, and he immediately came to compete with me for the store."
Chen Ru paused holding the chopsticks.
"What did you say?"
It turns out that Chen Ru didn’t know about these two things!
Wen Ying didn't know what to say.
Her mother is definitely not stupid.
But her dad is smarter.
After so many years of living together as a couple, Wen Dongrong has always been the dominant one in the family.
Chen Ru would never know what Wen Dongrong didn't want her to know.
Wen Ying feigned confusion, "Mom, you don't know? I thought my dad told you. I asked him last time what I should do if my uncle competes with me for business. My dad said I was disrespectful to my elders, meaning that I should give in."
Why should we give in?
Chen Ru squeezed and released the chopsticks in her hand several times before suppressing her anger: "Don't listen to your father. He only protects your aunt and Shu Lu. He is even more confused than your grandmother."
Chen Ru was too angry and did not fully grasp the information revealed in Wen Ying's words, or rather, Chen Ru did not realize the scale of the store that Shu Guobing and Wen Ying were fighting for.
"Shrimp King" can afford to rent a store with an annual rent of tens of thousands of yuan, so can't Wen Ying afford the tuition and tutoring fees of more than ten thousand yuan?
Wen Ying had already declared victory in the bet made by the family of three.
Chen Ru is now really angry with her husband Wen Dongrong.
It is an ironclad fact that Grandma Wen Ying favors boys over girls. Apart from this, the old lady can at least distinguish between relatives and strangers. People with the surname Wen and those with the surname Shu are treated completely differently in front of the old lady!
Wen Dongrong is a leader at work and can sort out all kinds of complicated relationships, but when he returns home he can't even tell the difference between relatives and strangers.
Shu Lu is just a niece, Wen Ying is a daughter.
Who is Shu Guobing? He has no blood relationship with Wen Dongrong. Why should Wen Ying give in to Shu Guobing?
Pooh!
Respecting elders also depends on what kind of elder they are. Does someone like Shu Guobing act like an elder?
There is also Wen Hongyan, who always scolds Wen Ying for having no manners... The more Chen Ru thought about it, the angrier she became, and suddenly she remembered something.
Last summer vacation, teachers at Wenying School organized students to participate in a summer camp. Each student had to pay 3,000 yuan to go to Beijing for a week.
Chen Ru originally wanted to sign up Wen Ying, but Wen Dongrong said that summer camp was a waste of money. With the three thousand yuan, it would be better to let Wen Ying take extra classes during the summer vacation.
Chen Ru felt that what Wen Dongrong said made sense, so she didn't sign up Wen Ying.
After a while, I heard that Shulu went to Beijing to attend summer camp.
At the Wen family gathering, Wen Hongyan showed off the photos Shu Lu took at places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and asked Chen Ru why she didn't sign up Wen Ying.
What Wen Hongyan said at the time seemed to be advising Chen Ru not to be too stingy, and that every penny invested in the child was worth it.
Chen Ru suspected that the 3,000 yuan that Shu Lu gave to attend the summer camp was secretly given by Wen Dongrong.
Wen Dongrong naturally refused to admit it.
Now that I think about it, Wen Hongyan is the only one working in the Shu family. She is often late and leaves early, and gets the least bonus. With only one person earning money and three people spending it in the family, how could they be willing to spend 3,000 yuan to send Shu Lu to summer camp? It must be Wen Dongrong who secretly supported her!
When Chen Ru thought about these things, she completely lost her appetite.
Chen Ru took out the gold bracelet that Shu Lu had forced upon her and showed it to Wen Ying: "Your father is confused, but your mother is not. What belongs to you cannot be taken away by others. Now that your aunt's family is not short of money, your aunt must pay back the money your father spent on Shu Lu over the years."
Chen Ru has decided that once Wen Hongyan pays back the money, she will enroll Wen Ying in a summer camp.
No, it’s too late for summer camp this year. You can sign up for a winter camp during the winter vacation.
Shu Lu has been to Beijing, but Wen Ying won’t go. If you want to report it, report it like Chen Li reported it to the brothers Deng Jie and Deng Hao, and go directly to Hong Kong and Japan!
Wen Ying was indeed deliberately provoking.
But she didn't expect Chen Ru to be so helpful.
The gold bracelet on the table looks familiar. Was it worn on Wen Hongyan's wrist before?
Wen Ying couldn't believe it. Her mother didn't seem like the type of person who could force Wen Hongyan to wear the bracelet.
Chen Ru has a well-proportioned figure and doesn't do physical work, so how could she beat Wen Hongyan, who is a bit fat?
Of course, the bracelet was not snatched by Chen Ru, but was forced upon her by Shu Lu.
After Wen Ying heard the whole story, she became even more afraid to underestimate Shu Lu.
How old is Shulu?
Even adults may not be able to speak so perfectly and reverse the disadvantage to restore their image, but Shu Lu can. It can be seen that IQ and EQ are both related to family education, but they do not rely solely on family education. One's own understanding is also very important. In her previous life, Shu Lu returned to her hometown and enjoyed the care of Comrade Wen Dongrong. She lived a stable and comfortable life. I don't know whether she was helped or held back.
When Chen Ru gets home, she will probably have a quarrel with Wen Dongrong.
With Wen Ying, who is good at fanning the flames, Chen Ru probably won't give in easily in this quarrel.
So what?
Comrade Wen Dongrong, you need an opponent of equal strength like Ms. Chen Ru.
In order to keep Chen Ru energetic, Wen Ying kept picking up food for her during the meal:
"Mom, eat more. You've worked hard!"
In the afternoon, Wen Ying successfully finished the exams in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Chen Ru took advantage of the time when Wen Ying was in school for the exam and went to the community where she bought the house to collect the key.
There is a reason why the houses are expensive. Although the greening of the community has not been fully formed, the distance between buildings is not close, and the atrium is spacious. When Chen Ru received the keys, she heard from other owners that the houses in the community have basically been sold out. Now if others want to buy, they can only buy second-hand houses from the owners.
To get the keys, you have to pay taxes and property fees. Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong bought two houses, so they have to pay a lot of money.
If Shu Guobing and Wen Hongyan don't pay back the money, Chen Ru will really be in financial trouble.
…
night.
Shu Guobing returned home drunk.
Wen Hongyan said with a sullen face, "Drink, drink, drink! All you do is drink. When you got to Rongcheng, did you ever take care of Lulu? Lulu was bullied, and where was your father?"
Shu Guobing burped, "What's wrong with Lulu? If anyone dares to bully her, I'll beat those idiots to death."
Shulu came out of the room with her eyelids still a little swollen.
She recounted the entire incident that happened at the school gate today.
"Dad, pay back the money you owe to my uncle's family. If Wen Ying talks nonsense in school, how can I still have the face to live? If you don't pay me back, I don't even want to go to the provincial key school!"
