Chapter 145 They'll rob you of money and things.
After the housewarming party, everyone officially moved into their new home, and everything seemed to return to normal.
A few days later, Chen Fangqiu drove Chen's maternal grandfather and Shen Xuewei to the town market and picked up their report cards along the way.
Chen Fangqiu stood in front of Teacher Xue.
Clutching that report card, all he asked was whether Shen Xuewei was still number one in the grade.
Teacher Xue quietly stepped back, forcing a smile.
"Yes, Shen Xuewei, of course she is still number one in the grade."
Her smile was stiff, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
Shen Xuewei is indeed still first in the grade this time, but she is only four points behind the second place...
Upon hearing that Shen Xuewei was still ranked first in her grade, Chen Fangqiu said nothing more and led Shen Xuewei out of the school.
The two got on the motorcycle and headed towards the market.
After parking their motorcycles on the side of the road where bicycles and motorcycles were parked, the two began searching for Grandpa Chen among the crowds at the market.
Finally, we found Grandpa Chen at a grain and oil store.
This grain and oil store not only sells various grains, oils, salt, soy sauce, etc., but also provides rice milling and oil pressing services.
Grandpa Chen brought a bag of rapeseed with him to be pressed into rapeseed oil when he came to the market this time.
Actually, we usually use lard at home, but because we had a housewarming party this time, we used up almost all of our lard.
Grandpa Chen remembered that he still had some rapeseed that someone had given him, so he brought it over to press oil.
There were many people pressing oil, and Grandpa Chen waited in line for almost half an hour before it was his turn.
Chen Fangqiu waited at the door, while Shen Xuewei ran to a nearby store to buy things.
After buying the items, she put them in her small bag, covered the bag, and stood far away from Chen Fangqiu.
Chen Fangqiu was squatting not far away smoking when he noticed her wary expression and immediately snorted disdainfully.
"Why are you so far away from me? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
Shen Xuewei turned her head to the side and refused to speak to him.
Her uncle doesn't eat people, but he will rob them of money and things.
As the person he robbed several times, shouldn't he at least make her a little wary?
The bag of rapeseed that Grandpa Chen brought could only be pressed into a small bucket of rapeseed oil.
He came out carrying the bucket of rapeseed oil, which Chen Fangqiu took from him.
"Buy some more candy and cookies, we'll eat them for Chinese New Year... What else do we need to prepare..."
Shen Xuewei reminded him, "Grandpa, there's still fruit. Aren't Second Aunt and Brother Xiannan coming back for the New Year? I noticed last time that they like to eat oranges..."
Grandpa Chen nodded and then walked toward the fruit stand.
He had specially bought two boxes of oranges in gift packaging, and just as he was about to pay, he noticed that Chen Fangqiu had packed a bag of pears for the shopkeeper to weigh.
After weighing it, she turned her head to look at him and said:
"Dad, give me the money."
Grandpa Chen looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
He just sighed and silently handed the money to the boss.
The two bought a lot of things at the market, and also bought a bottle of gasoline to fill up Chen Fangqiu's motorcycle.
There were no gas stations in town, so they bought gasoline in bulk.
There are people who sell this in town.
After refueling the motorcycle, Chen Fangqiu stepped on the gas and drove home with his maternal grandfather and Shen Xuewei, carrying all the bags.
Only two days after buying the items, Chen Fangyang drove Zhao Fang'er and Zhao Xiannan back.
Chen Fangyang paid for most of the money for building the house and buying furniture and appliances.
In the eyes of Chen's maternal grandparents, the money Chen Fangyang provided was the same money Zhao Fang'er provided.
He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; he who takes another's money is obligated to do his bidding.
After using Zhao Fang'er's money, the two of them dared not show Zhao Fang'er any disrespect and warmly welcomed the mother and son into the house.
Zhao Xiannan came to the Chen family, but he had nowhere to go.
In the second half of the year, the Chen family was busy building houses and didn't farm much, leaving him with no opportunity to use his talents.
After spending two days with Shen Xuewei in the village, the two stared at each other blankly.
Shen Xuewei pointed in the direction of Fuxing Village, "How about... I take you outside to play? Xiaoli Village is only so big, there's not much to do there."
Zhao Xiannan was eager to try, but hesitated somewhat and said:
"May I?"
Shen Xuewei said, "Ask your second aunt for her opinion. If she agrees, it should be fine."
Zhao Xiannan then turned to look for Zhao Fang'er.
Zhao Fang'er heard that going to another place would probably only take about half an hour on foot, so she agreed.
"It's a rare holiday that you get to play for a few days, so go ahead. But you have to be back tonight and don't bother anyone else."
Zhao Xiannan agreed and then went to talk to Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei slung the schoolbag hanging on the wall over her shoulder and led him toward the road.
The two were in good physical condition and walked very fast. They arrived at Fuxing Village in just half an hour.
Shen Xuewei first went back to the Chu family and found Chen Fangli.
She poured Zhao Xiannan a glass of water and asked him to wait in the living room. She then went to Chen Fangli's room to talk to her.
Chen Fangli looked at Shen Xuewei, who had jumped in front of her, and pulled her over with a smile.
"Why aren't you staying at Grandma's house? Why are you out again?"
Shen Xuewei said coquettishly, "I missed my second aunt, so I came out to see her. Didn't my second aunt want me to come?"
At this point, she frowned, looking as if she would turn against Chen Fangli if she said she didn't want to.
Chen Fangli chuckled, tidied her messy hair, and said gently:
"Yes, Auntie misses Weiwei too."
Shen Xuewei chatted with her for a while, then opened her backpack and took out two things for Chen Fangli.
"Second Aunt, here you go!"
Chen Fangli was stunned when she saw the scarf and two bottles of face cream being stuffed into her hand.
Seeing that she seemed a little dazed, Shen Xuewei assumed she didn't want it and quickly said:
"Second Aunt, I bought this with the scholarship money I received from school, not money I got from my grandparents."
“It’s cold this year. I noticed that all the aunties in the village who often come to talk to you have scarves, but you don’t. This one isn’t expensive and it’s durable. You can wear it while you’re working.”
"And these two bottles of stuff, your face is so dry, and your hands are cracked. If you apply a little bit every day, it won't be like this anymore..."
Looking at Shen Xuewei, who was preparing gifts for her, Chen Fangli's eyes welled up with tears, and then she looked up.
"Second Aunt, what's wrong?"
Shen Xuewei looked at Chen Fangli, who had suddenly looked up, with concern, and took her hand to see what was going on.
Chen Fangli casually wiped her face. "It's nothing. I think some bug flew into my eye just now, so I rubbed it out..."
"Then you can't tilt your head back, otherwise it will just slide in. Tilt your head down, and I'll blow it in for you."
Chen Fangli lowered her face and stood in front of her as instructed.
Shen Xuewei puffed out her cheeks and blew on it twice for her.
"How is it, Auntie? Are you all better?"
Chen Fangli smiled and nodded, "Okay, my eyes don't hurt anymore."
Hearing that her eyes no longer hurt, Shen Xuewei finally felt relieved.
Zhao Xiannan was waiting outside, so Shen Xuewei didn't want to talk to Chen Fangli for too long. She only talked for a short while before leaving.
Children of all ages in the village gathered together to play, and Shen Xuewei led Zhao Xiannan to join them.
Once Zhao Xiannan was having a good time, he waved his hand and treated all the children present to snacks.
Now, not only was he happy, but all the children in the village were happy.
When Shen Xuewei was about to take Zhao Xiannan away from Fuxing Village, the children held Zhao Xiannan's hands, reluctant to let him go.
