When Shen Ai Qiu returned home, he saw his parents and younger brother sitting in the yard eating happily, as if there were only three of them in the family.

I am redundant.

After so long, they didn't even think about looking for her and bringing her back.

Her eyes turned red with grievance.

Li Chunlan saw Shen Aiqiu standing at the door and paused as she was picking up food for Shen Xiaojie. She felt a little embarrassed and a little surprised.

Because she was busy, she forgot about Shen Ai Qiu.

"Hey, Xiaoqiu, why are you back? Go wash your hands and eat. Serve yourself."

Shen Ai Qiu went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rice without saying a word, then returned to his seat, picked up the food and ate without saying a word.

She had been in the police station for so long and was still hungry. She wanted to eat two pieces of meat, but as soon as she picked up the meat with her chopsticks, it was knocked away by another pair of chopsticks.

"Shen Xiaojie, what are you doing!"

When Shen Ai Qiu saw that it was her own brother, she couldn't help but get angry and yelled at Shen Xiaojie, but the instigator thought she was just being surprised.

"You can't hold it steady, so why do you blame me? I want to eat meat, too. I heard from mom that you do nothing at home all day long, and dad and I work so hard outside to make money, so what's wrong with eating two more pieces of meat when you come home!"

Obviously, Shen Xiaojie didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior, and even felt that he was the superior in the family.

Shen Ai Qiu was angry. What did she mean by she didn't do anything?

"Shen Xiaojie, what nonsense are you talking about? I am concentrating on studying and preparing for the college entrance examination. I want to go to a big city and have a great future. Do you understand?"

The way Shen Ai Qiu looked at Shen Xiaojie was as if he was looking at a country bumpkin with no future at all, which made Shen Xiaojie very angry.

"Dad, Mom, I won't go out to work anymore. I want to study too. I don't believe I can do worse than a woman. If Shen Aiqiu can get into college and go to a big city, so can I!"

Shen Ai Qiu took this opportunity to put a piece of meat into the bowl.

"Tsk, you've never liked studying since you were little. Even if you take the exam, you don't know how many years you'll have to study before you can take the college entrance exam."

"That's enough! You're just making a scene right after you come back. You might as well stay in the police station!"

Shen Ai Qiu's father, Shen Jianjun, slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table. Shen Xiaojie and Shen Ai Qiu fell silent instantly and no one dared to make any more noise.

"What's wrong with your brother wanting to study? Why do you have to discourage him? If our Shen family can produce a college student, it would be a great blessing from our ancestors. It's a great thing. But you don't even wish for the good of your own brother."

"So, Dad, since you knew your daughter was still at the police station, why didn't you pick me up and even have dinner with me?"

Shen Jianjun glared at her, very unhappy with his daughter's defiance.

"Is this the reason why you come back with a sullen face, as if someone owes you two hundred dollars, and go to the dinner table to compete with your brother for meat and undermine his self-confidence?"

"I didn’t!"

"Still talking back! It seems that you have forgotten the rules of home during the two months I was away from home. You even dare to talk back to your biological parents. Is this what you learned in school?"

As he said this, he looked at Li Chunlan again.

"It's all your habit. Look, is there any obedient look in him? He is exactly like the previous Shen Zhizhu."

"What do you mean I'm the same as Shen Zhizhu? That's not what you said before. You said I'm well-behaved, sensible, smart and capable, a thousand times or ten thousand times better than Shen Zhizhu. Why are you saying I'm the same as her now?"

Shen Ai Qiu could tolerate other grievances, but she could not accept being told that she was the same as Shen Zhizhu.

Shen Jianjun didn't expect Shen Aiqiu to dare to talk back, so he just picked up the chopsticks in his hand and threw them at her.

"You're so shameless, but you keep bumping into me!"

The force of the fall was so strong that it hit Shen Ai Qiu's face, leaving a red mark instantly.

Shen Ai Qiu burst into tears. She did know that Du Zai De had swindled everyone's money, but Du Zai De and the others didn't know that she knew about it. When she was at the police station, she just said that she didn't know.

In addition, Du Zai De and Du Manjun had no idea that she knew about this, so she was naturally fine in the end.

However, she felt it was very embarrassing to have spent a whole night in the police station. Not only did her parents not pick her up and forget about her, but she was also scolded at the dinner table when she walked back by herself.

She really felt wronged, or maybe it was the pain from the red marks on her face that made her cry.

After all, Li Chunlan really doted on Shen Aiqiu and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but was interrupted by Shen Xiaojie.

"Mom, look at my sister. She said that my studies are useless."

Shen Xiaojie held Li Chunlan's hand, and his voice was actually coquettish, but Li Chunlan just fell for it and was instantly attracted to him.

Compared to a son, no matter how much you like your daughter, you have to stay away from her.

She touched the head of Shen Xiaojie, who was as tall as her, and comforted him softly.

"How could that be? Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. Our Xiaojie will be a man of great achievements in the future. Not only will he be able to get into college, but he will also be able to marry a beautiful wife from a big city."

Originally, Shen Xiaojie just wanted to keep Shen Aiqiu at bay, but after hearing what Li Chunlan said, he felt moved.

"Mom, I must go to college and marry a beautiful wife in a big city."

Shen Jianjun frowned.

"Marrying a woman from a big city will cost a lot of money."

She didn't even think that someone like Shen Xiaojie could get into university, go to a big city, or whether there were girls in the big city who would be interested in him and want to marry him.

Shen Ai Qiu watched from the side and rolled her eyes. She really didn't know where Shen Xiaojie got his confidence from.

Li Chunlan doesn't think her son is unworthy of the girls in big cities.

"The betrothal gift for marrying that ungrateful Shen Zhizhu is still over 400 yuan. If we save some of it, it will be enough for Xiaojie to go to college and get married. If Shen Zhizhu is willing to give us the title deed, then we won't have to worry about anything. We can just sell your brother's house. It will be enough for us to spend for a few years."

"Four hundred! Only four hundred is left out of the six hundred yuan betrothal gift money? Mom, how do you usually spend it at home? You've spent almost half of it!"

Shen Xiaojie was very surprised. That was a full six hundred yuan. He spent two hundred yuan in two months. That was too exaggerated.

However, Shen Ai Qiu noticed something else.

Property deed?

Although Shen Ai Qiu didn't think Shen Xiaojie could marry a beautiful wife, if he could get the house deed, he would at least have a share of it.

She was thinking in her mind.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, after we get the title deed, we can sell the house and save Xiaojie a lot of money. Then all the rich ladies in big cities will line up to marry Xiaojie. Then you two can also benefit from it and live in a big villa with a professional driver driving a luxury car to pick you up. How comfortable it is."
