"Mom, these are vegetables that Grandpa planted himself. They are very fresh. I picked them. You see, I wanted to bring them to you this time. I couldn't bear to eat them at home."
"Stop talking nonsense here. Does the Chen family need so many dishes from you?" Dafang was not interested in these things. At least she, Shen Jiaojiao, would have brought back a few hundred dollars. "Who are you doing this for?"
Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Didn't you say that I should bring some when I come back? You blame me when I don't bring any, and you dislike me when I bring some. You told me a lot before, and I thought you thought everything in the Chen family was good."
"How dare you show off a few broken eggplants?" Dafang said angrily. "Are the Chen family members so stingy? They knew you were going back to your parents' home, but they only gave you such a small thing?"
"They didn't ask me to take it, I took it myself," Although Shen Jiaojiao's relationship with the Chen family was not very good, she was still very nice to the old man, and now she spends most of her time with the old man.
Someone who usually has a good relationship with Dafang also looked at what was in Shen Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Jiaojiao, it seems that you are living well in the Chen family now. Looking at the way you are dressed, you can tell at a glance that you are a rich person."
Shen Jiaojiao glanced down and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her.
It's just some ordinary clothes, but why does it sound a little wrong when it comes out of that person's mouth?
The woman in front of me was called Chen Jing. She used to be an accountant in a steel plant, but later she was said to have been fired by the factory leaders for stealing and falsifying accounts.
After that, I never went to work and basically stayed at home.
I didn't expect that after so much time, his words were still so rude.
"It's okay, they are all nice to me."
"You look not good, but very good. However, since you are doing well, as the daughter of this family, you should at least help out a little. Your family's conditions are not very good, and now your second brother is getting married. No matter what, you should give something."
Shen Jiaojiao frowned. Why should she take anything?
When she was in this family, no one treated her as a human being.
She had gotten to where she was now by her own ability, and it had nothing to do with the Shen family. Could it be that they wanted to use her as a cash cow again? There was probably nothing that good in this world.
"Mom, is Accountant Chen working as our accountant now?"
Dafang was still stunned. "What are you talking about? How come she is an accountant in our family?"
"If that's not the case, I think Accountant Chen's way of speaking is exactly the same as her style at the factory. If you didn't know, you would think she was helping out at our house."
Chen Jing could also tell that Shen Jiaojiao was scolding her in a roundabout way.
She was still a little embarrassed. "Jiaojiao, please don't say that. I'm just at home now, cooking and washing clothes, etc., which has nothing to do with accounting. Why are you still saying that? If others hear this, they will think I took your family's money."
"Since you said you don't help our family with anything, then I'm free to take whatever I want this time, right?"
"Wasn't I talking about your second brother's marriage? Why did you bring this up?" Chen Jing rolled her eyes at her. "Do you have any other opinions on this matter?"
"I have no objection. My second brother is getting married, which is indeed a happy event." At least he doesn't have to cause trouble for others. I don't know what kind of person her second sister-in-law is. She chose to be with Shen Cong. She is quite courageous. "But what does his marriage have to do with you, Accountant Chen? Are you worried that he will need something when the time comes? I see that you have such a good relationship with my mother. She cares about me, her second brother, the most. You have to help me so that my second brother can have a grand wedding."
Chen Jing didn't know how to refute what Shen Jiaojiao said.
She could only whisper some gossip to Dafang, and look at Shen Jiaojiao from time to time.
Without asking, Shen Jiaojiao could guess what they were talking about.
Shen Jiaojiao even deliberately raised her voice, "Accountant Chen, there are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want to say openly, are you worried that I might hear you?"
"How dare I say that to you?"
"That's perfect. What I hate most is people gossiping behind my back," Shen Jiaojiao said, and then she walked away from them with her things in her hands, her head held high and her chest puffed out. "Mom, I see you still have something to say to Accountant Chen, so I'll go in first."
Chen Jing couldn't stand Shen Jiaojiao's style and stomped her feet in anger.
"Now I finally understand why you were so anxious to marry her off. This child is really rude and speaks without any respect."
Dafang sighed, "Yes, now you understand my difficulties, right? I can't say anything. Once I say this, she will talk back even more fiercely than me. Plus, she has the support of the Chen family, so I dare not do anything to her."
"Jiaojiao, you're back."
"Uncle Zhang, I just got back. I ran into my mother before I even entered the house. But she was upset at the door again. She even complained that the things I brought back were worthless."
Uncle Zhang was quite nice to Shen Jiaojiao. It could be said that except for the group of people in the yard who had a good relationship with the Shen couple, everyone else liked Shen Jiaojiao very much. They thought she was beautiful, capable, and polite.
Everyone who saw her would greet her and say, "It's good enough that you can come back. Why do you ask for so much? You are their daughter, and it's not like you come back specifically to send them things. If they treat you badly, you might as well not come back in the future. Otherwise, we will have a quarrel when we see each other. Wouldn't that affect people's mood?"
"It has to be Uncle Zhang. You saw through everything I was thinking." Shen Jiaojiao's expression improved a little. She was about to leave when she thought of the reason she came back this time. She quickly turned around and said, "Uncle Zhang, do you still remember Cheng Yang? The kid who asked you to help find someone before?"
"I remember. What's wrong?"
"He's staying with me now, so I wanted to ask you how things are going on here. Have you got any news about his relatives?"
Uncle Zhang seemed a little nervous and took a sip from his teacup.
The teacup is quite old and the paint is peeling off.
Chen Jiaojiao felt distressed when she saw this, thinking that the last time he was at the retirement home, the old man had a lot of spare cups. She should remember to bring a few back next time he comes back.
