Chapter 69 Confidence



"I don't care!"

Shen Qianqian remained silent, looking at the dust that had settled on the table, and raised her hand to brush it away. "What the hell? They don't even take their trash with them when they leave."

The sun was setting, casting a dim glow.

Once the room was completely dark, Chen Qianqian put down her pen and stretched. She thought she should find some time later to talk to her teacher about skipping a grade.

"Qianqian?"

Just as I lit the candle, a hushed shout came from behind me.

Shen Qianqian turned her head and saw Yu Jianchuan standing hunched over at the door, looking strangely frightening in the darkness.

of.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Ahem, I've brought you something."

As Yu Jianchuan walked in, he was holding something in his hand and tried to put it into Shen Qianqian's hand, but Shen Qianqian held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

Wait, why did this have to happen out of nowhere?

Could it be that they're trying to force-feed her raw food again? She doesn't like raw food!

Yu Jianchuan clicked his tongue: "Hey, you kid, I'm giving you money and you won't take it!" Instead of handing over the money, Yu Jianchuan simply placed it on the table.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the small room clearly.

On the table lay a rolled-up bundle of money, slightly loosened, which looked quite thick, with a grayish-blue banknote on top.

Wow. One hundred yuan.

Including other items, it would cost several hundred.

Shen Qianqian didn't take it, and a doubt immediately arose in her heart.

Even if you've made a lot of money, you can't keep spending it like this. You're buying coats, radios, and now you're even giving away money.

To be honest, she was a little curious about what kind of small business Jianchuan was doing in the south.

"Uncle, I can't accept this. It's too much. It's not easy for you to make your way in the world on your own. You should take this money back."

"Also, although Grandma is wrong nine and a half out of ten things she says, there's one thing you can still listen to."

"Don't just use the money you earn to buy things for your family; you have to save it, not give it to Grandma." "You little brat, trying to boss me around!"

Despite saying that, Yu Jianchuan's eyes still reddened.

He sighed deeply as he recalled the past.

“Your mom used to worry just like you. When I went fishing, she would urge me to hurry up several times. Don’t worry, I have money, and this money is for you. You got into the top high school, so you deserve a reward. We have twins now, but you have the most.”

Yu Jianchuan deliberately lowered his voice for the last sentence, his tone teasing. "He's almost thirty, yet he acts like a child."

When Shen Qianqian heard him mention his adoptive mother, a figure flashed through her mind, but it was unfamiliar.

Does Yu Jianchuan seem to know her very well?

Her brow twitched slightly, her eyes unusually bright in the candlelight: "Uncle, do you and my mother keep in touch?"

Yu Jianchuan works in the southern coastal area, which isn't far from Hong Kong Island, so the two might be in contact. Judging from his uncle's behavior, he seems to have a good relationship with his stepmother.

But to her disappointment.

As soon as the question was asked, Yu Jianchuan immediately gave a negative answer.

"No, when that family took Yuanyuan away, they didn't leave any contact information. Hey, don't they send things over every month? Why don't you write to Yuanyuan?"

Shen Qianqian rolled her eyes at her suddenly excited uncle, thinking he was a bit silly. Didn't she think of sending a letter? The problem was, it was useless. If it were useful, would she have needed to ask?

“I’ve written several letters, but I haven’t received a single reply. I don’t even know if they’ve reached my mom yet.”

Yu Jianchuan frowned and said decisively, "Sister Yuanyuan couldn't possibly not reply to you; it's probably because your letter was confiscated!"

You're so confident.

If that stepmother truly cared for her daughter, wouldn't she have written back even if it meant going through great lengths?

There's not a single word from them, isn't that obvious enough? Aside from sending a few things every month, it's like checking off a monthly task.

Shen Qianqian had little hope, but she also felt that Yu Jianchuan might be right. The letter that was sent was never even seen by her stepmother; it was intercepted. That family was intentionally separating the two sides completely because they were no longer from the same social class.

Even worse, what that family really wanted to do was to completely erase all traces of the biological mother's life in the Wuxing Production Brigade and in Lao Yu's family.

These people are really boring.

Who would bother to watch someone claim to have a biological father or mother? Living a good life is the most important thing! Early the next morning, Shen Qianqian packed her things and went to the county.

Today is the weekend. It's Chen Mengshu's birthday.

She arranged to meet him at the cadre building.

Shen Qianqian actually wanted to give Chen Mengshu a schoolbag as a gift, but the factory had just finished recruiting and entered the training phase, and everyone was busy, so she couldn't pressure Zhou Cai to make her a schoolbag.

I'll bring them later, after production has officially started; it's not like I'm short of time. Is the gift I brought today enough?

Shen Qianqian looked down at the book she was holding, which was tied up with a rope.

What a wonderful gift!

Good students love it!

These are all my own collections, they're priceless.

Arriving near the cadre building, I saw Chen Mengshu standing at the entrance, stamping her feet in boredom.

Shen Qianqian walked over quickly, and Chen Mengshu waved as soon as she saw her, then ran over faster, like a round bullet.

Afraid that she might not be able to stop in time and hit her, Shen Qianqian quickly dodged to the side. "Ouch!"

As it turned out, Chen Mengshu couldn't stop in time and fell headfirst to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. "Are you alright?"

Shen Qianqian quickly went over to help Chen Mengshu up; Chen Mengshu's eyes were red. "My new clothes! This is the first time I've ever worn them!"

"When I get back, my mom will definitely nag me again!"
