Not long after Shen Huayi left, Shen Wenwu came over.
"Brother, Dad just took the lunch box away, go find him."
"Well," Shen Wenwu looked at her, "I didn't expect you to be the one to see me off today. How long have you been back?"
Shen Jiaojiao shrugged, “Soon, I cooked at home with my mother, but she did most of the cooking. She even complained that my hands and feet were not flexible enough.”
"Okay, then I'll go back to eat." Shen Wenwu took a few steps and turned around again, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. "Jiaojiao, I think I still need to talk to you about something."
"What's wrong, big brother?" Shen Jiaojiao wondered why everyone at home had become so strange after only being back for a few days. "Just say whatever you want to say."
In the entire Shen family, Shen Wenwu is the one who treats Shen Jiaojiao well.
I wouldn’t say how good it was, but at least he didn’t treat her as an outsider.
It is also possible that Shen Jiaojiao helped him save his wife before.
Shen Wenwu said, "I don't know why you came back this time, but you shouldn't listen to everything your parents say. Now you are not only the daughter of the Shen family, but also the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. You have to be more careful and don't bring everything home."
Shen Jiaojiao probably understood that he was afraid that Dafang would instigate him again.
Compared with the Shen family's situation, the Chen family's financial situation is indeed much better.
"Especially my mother. She knows you're living a good life now, and your second brother is getting married soon, so the family will need more things. She will definitely come to you first. If you still ask your parents for things from time to time after you get married, no man can tolerate it."
"Brother, did Mom ask you for something?"
Shen Jiaojiao knew very well that if the same thing had not happened to Shen Wenwu, he probably would not have been so proactive in telling her.
Shen Wenwu lowered his head, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
"It's not really taking, it's just borrowing what my parents said."
"Come on, they're still borrowing it?" Shen Jiaojiao didn't believe it. "Once that money falls into their hands, don't expect them to pay it back in this lifetime."
"There's nothing we can do. They're most worried about Chen Cong. Your sister-in-law and I have been married for so long, and now we're pregnant. We don't have any money to spend yet, so just think of it as me, the eldest brother, keeping it with them temporarily."
Shen Jiaojiao thought he was crazy. He was so generous, but others might not be grateful to him.
"Brother, you are not mistaken, my sister-in-law has returned to her parents' home and is pregnant with twins. You need money the most, so you give it to them. Do you know, sister-in-law?"
Shen Wenwu shook his head. "How could I dare to tell her? Ever since the last incident, your sister-in-law has been very dissatisfied with me and our family. She basically doesn't want to contact me anymore. I went to take her back several times, but she didn't want to. So I haven't mentioned it to her yet."
"You're really something, big brother. You haven't even taken care of your own family, and now you're meddling in his affairs. Don't you know what kind of person Shen Cong is? He wants to get married, so he should figure out the money himself. Why does he need you to give it to him?" Shen Jiaojiao couldn't understand it at all. "You're stupid too. If my sister-in-law knew, I don't know how angry she would be."
"So I didn't dare tell her. Now I'd better wait for your second brother to get married first. Then I will explain it to your eldest sister-in-law in person. I believe she will understand me."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at him, she had no way of understanding anyway.
Shen Cong was also famous for being lazy and gluttonous. I don't know how he managed to coax Shen Huayi and his wife. They were both very nice to him.
Whenever there is something delicious at home, he is always the first person I think of.
Shen Jiaojiao sometimes felt strange. Is it because in that family, except for him, the other two people are not their children? Otherwise, why would they be so partial to him?
"Your second brother doesn't even have a formal job right now, so how could any girl be willing to follow him? If it weren't for mom and dad giving him money from time to time, letting him spend it lavishly outside, I'm afraid he wouldn't have succeeded this time."
"How much did you give him?"
Shen Wenwu said helplessly: "Except for the money he gave you when you got married, all the money in the house has been taken away by him."
"What?" Shen Jiaojiao was speechless. "Then how do you and your sister-in-law plan to live in the future? And after the child is born, it will require a lot of expenses. What are you going to do?"
"I haven't thought that far ahead. It's not my idea, but my parents'. They think that as the eldest brother in the family, I should help him a little at this time." Shen Wenwu still lied to himself and said, "Maybe after he gets married and has his own family, life will get better."
Shen Jiaojiao sneered, "Brother, what's the point of you saying this now? Isn't it all because of your repeated tolerance that Second Brother has become what he is today? It's useless for you to tell me. You should think about you, your sister-in-law, and your unborn child."
How could Shen Wenwu have thought of all this? He had been blinded before and handed over his monthly salary to Dafang truthfully. He didn't know why Shen Cong was so shameless, acting like a spoiled child and a rogue, and cheated them of all their money.
If Dafang hadn't told Shen Wenwu, he would still be kept in the dark, thinking that Dafang was really kind enough to save all the money for him.
He lowered his head and said, "The only thing I can do now is to keep all my future wages to myself. Jiaojiao, I have no other intention in telling you this. I also hope that you can pay more attention. Although you are not at home now, Shen Cong will try his best to get the money from you. I heard that he even went to your hospital before."
Shen Jiaojiao felt that he looked quite pitiful, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and it was Shen Wenwu's own fault.
"Brother, you don't need to tell me so much. Shen Cong's affairs, including your affairs, have nothing to do with me, and it's not very useful for you to tell me now. He has already asked my mother-in-law Song Qiulan for two thousand yuan, and he hasn't paid it back yet."
"What?" Shen Wenwu almost fainted. Two thousand yuan was a year or two's salary for him. How could Song Qiulan be so generous to give it to him? "Did he say he would pay it back?"
"I don't know about that. After all, it has nothing to do with me. I have reminded the Chen family before. They want to give it away themselves. There is nothing I can do. Anyway, I can only take care of myself."
