Under that gaze, Shen Jia calmed down. "Tell me, I want to hear your explanation."
Shen Qianqian: "You started picking on me as soon as you got back. I suppose Grandma Yang herself told you this?"
Shen Jia hummed in agreement.
"Sigh, I knew it, she's pretty good at turning the tables."
“Today I took my little sister to play in the sandpit in the square. As a result, my sister was pushed down by Su Beihu, who also took her candy. At the time, I didn’t want to make a fuss, after all, I didn’t want to make things difficult for you, Dad, in the compound. But Grandma Yang wouldn’t let it go, insisting that my sister pushed down her grandson. But my sister is so small, how could she push that chubby little Su Beihu? Besides, my sister’s skirt was torn by him, and Grandma Yang refused to admit it or pay for it. I certainly couldn’t stand it, so I simply fought back.”
Shen Jia's brow twitched: "How did you retaliate?"
Don't tell me you beat up someone's kid.
Shen Qianqian shrugged, a hint of regret in her voice.
"Don't worry, I didn't hit him. I just gave him a light push. There was a sand pile underneath, so it didn't hurt at all. I'm so kind. I only punished him a little."
Shen Jia: ...You seem to regret it. This daughter has too wild a personality.
He must have been living a wild life in the countryside.
Shen Jia once again regretted not having brought his daughter with him and raised her properly.
He emphasized, "This is no big deal, why are you making such a fuss? What will the people in the compound think of you after this?"
I don't care what they think of me, does it even matter?
She discovered that besides neglecting his family, this adoptive father had another flaw: he was extremely concerned about saving face.
Is this a common problem among middle-aged men?
"Let them see what they want and say what they want, what does it have to do with me? It won't hurt my strong sense of self-esteem. Of course, most importantly, if I punish evil and promote good and people have a negative impression of me, they are probably stupid, foolish, and not worth befriending."
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me seeking justice for my sister. At least I wouldn’t hurt my family for the sake of outsiders.”
“Back in the brigade, I’ve encountered people who were even worse than this. If I hadn’t been quick-witted, I would have been the one bullied! Where were you then? You were working in the capital! You weren’t by my side, and I was all alone. That’s just how I am; I can never compromise in this lifetime.”
Shen Qianqian's words were first veiled and sarcastic, then she brought up the lack of paternal love and how her personality development was entirely due to Shen Jia, practically implying that he had never been a father.
Wu Yunhua's eyes were filled with heartache.
Shen Jia's eyelids twitched slightly. He hesitated, wanting to say something but ultimately decided not to dwell on the issue of bullying others.
This daughter is something else! She spouts a bunch of nonsensical arguments, yet she manages to leave him speechless. To avoid making an even bigger fool of himself, Shen Jia decides to shut up!
I spend most of my time in the military anyway. Worrying about these trivial matters would only waste my time.
"Let's eat!"
Wu Yunhua secretly smiled at Shen Qianqian, then went into the room to pick up her daughter. Dinner was over.
Old Mrs. Yang brought her grandson, Su Beihu, to their door to ask for money.
Shen Jia stayed in the room and didn't come out, leaving Wu Yunhua alone to face the situation.
Shen Qianqian had just come out of the shower when she heard a familiar voice. She went straight to the kitchen, looked at the cleaver, and decided to be gentle, so she picked up the spatula instead.
Shen Qianqian walked to the door with a shovel and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Oh, Grandma Yang, you've gotten even worse since I last saw you!"
Old Mrs. Yang's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but this time she didn't intend to argue with Shen Qianqian.
son.
Instead of taking her grandson to the hospital, she went to a doctor she knew. The doctor took her grandson's pulse and said that he was too fat and needed to eat less.
What a half-baked doctor!
Her grandson is chubby and healthy!
Although she didn't achieve her initial goal of seeing a doctor, Old Lady Yang still came directly to collect her debt.
She quickly walked around with the doctor's prescription in hand, wiping away tears and sobbing.
“My grandson was pushed like that by you today and he can’t eat anything. Teacher Wu, you have to give my grandson at least fifty yuan for nutrition expenses today.”
Shen Qianqian almost threw a shovel at him when she heard that.
What the heck? Fifty yuan?!
To be honest, is this due to local conditions? In the countryside, they only ask for two or three yuan as a "nutritional allowance." At most, it won't exceed ten yuan!
When they got to the capital, the money had doubled—fifty dollars!
Shen Qianqian narrowed her eyes, looking at Old Lady Yang as if she were examining some part of a pig.
price.
Wu Yunhua also felt it was too much and unreasonable!
Her daughter, Miaomiao, was the one who was bullied, so why should she have to pay compensation?
Wu Yunhua was so angry that her face turned red, but she was no match for Old Lady Yang.
After several rounds of fighting, Wu Yunhua was completely defeated, and Old Lady Yang raised her chin triumphantly.
Shen Qianqian shook her head secretly, pushed Wu Yunhua back, and reached out her hand: "Where's the order form? Let me see it."
Grandma Yang panicked for a moment, her eyes darting around.
"Why should I show it to you? What if you deny it and tear it up after seeing it?!"
"What are you afraid of? If I really tear it up, the hospital has a record of it!"
Old Mrs. Yang glared at her, "You really want to tear this apart?!"
"No way! Why should I give it to you? You're making such a fuss. Just give me the money!"
Shen Qianqian took a step back and was about to close the door.
"Since that's the case, then we can't reach an agreement. You didn't even come here sincerely to seek compensation, not even for a medical consultation."
They won't even give you the order, what's there to be guilty about? Are they trying to extort money again?
Grandma Yang quickly stepped forward, trying to stop Shen Qianqian, but was blocked by a shovel.
Shen Qianqian's voice was low and cool: "I know what you're thinking, old lady. It's impossible for you to make me pay. I, Shen Qianqian, have never suffered a loss in my life! I've dealt with all those who are older and more shameless than you."
"You want money? Then you have to pay me back for the chocolate and my sister's clothes. If you want to keep bothering me, then I'll go to the military base and cause trouble for your son. If your son gets any problems at work because of this, it's not my fault, because it's all your fault, understand?"
The rogue old woman, Yang, in the military compound finally met her match.
When Old Lady Yang failed to get her money that day, she began spreading rumors about Shen Qianqian in the courtyard.
However, since Shen Qianqian only came for a few days, apart from her highly noticeable presence during the battle that day, she was quite ordinary at other times.
No one believed what Old Lady Yang said. Some even felt that Shen Qianqian had really stood up for them and developed a good impression of her.
Another issue is that Su Beihu is domineering and unreasonable, and is ostracized by the children. They are afraid that if they accidentally bump into Su Beihu, his grandmother will make the family pay compensation.
Shen Qianqian didn't care at all about Old Lady Yang's attempt to smear her; she had no "dirt" on her, so what was there to be afraid of?
Instead of wasting her time, she might as well go explore the capital and look for something to make money. The antique streets in the capital are especially famous; maybe she can find a few genuine items!
