Chapter 328 Suspicion Arises?
Shen Xuewei got out of bed, took her handbag, and, under Chen Fangli's questioning gaze, handed her tens of thousands of yuan.
"Second Aunt, this is for you, please keep it."
Chen Fangli knew that Shen Xuewei was making money now, and quite a lot of money, but she was still taken aback by how easily Shen Xuewei could pull out tens of thousands of yuan.
After realizing what had happened, she returned the money to Shen Xuewei.
She stroked Shen Xuewei's long hair, her eyes filled with tenderness and relief.
“Weiwei, you already gave the family tens of thousands of yuan last year, so the family can’t accept this money anymore.”
Shen Xuewei wanted to speak, but Chen Fangli stopped her.
"Your second aunt knows you have a good heart, and that you always think of your second aunt and your two cousins when you have money. But Weiwei, if you give too much money, people will also become resentful."
Shen Xuewei was taken aback, and a sense of unease arose in her heart.
"The money you gave me last year, your second aunt told your second uncle to use it to learn to drive, get a driver's license, and buy a minivan. There's still quite a bit left."
“When he’s not busy, he uses his van to pick up passengers and can earn some money in a day.”
"The money you gave has already helped the family a lot. That's enough."
“You gave it to us once, twice, three times… and you keep giving it to us like this, which is making us greedier. What if one day you come back and don’t give it to us anymore? We’ll get used to having money as soon as you come back, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my greed then…”
Everyone wants money, but she was also afraid that money would lead to excessive desires.
She was kind to Shen Xuewei; it was a voluntary act of kindness, and she never expected anything in return.
Shen Xuewei is now successful and can earn her own money, which makes her happier than anyone else.
She can control herself, but she can't control others.
After Shen Xuewei gave money a few times, her family kept saying how successful she was, wondering how much money she would give her next time she came back.
She worried that if one day she became even more greedy, and things didn't go as planned, Shen Xuewei would be caught in the middle, disliked by everyone.
Shen Xuewei has already given her family a lot of money, and that's enough.
We should stop here. Things that don't belong to the Chu family should not be taken.
After listening to Chen Fangli's words, Shen Xuewei remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, she whispered, "Okay, Second Aunt, I understand. As for this money..."
She still handed the wad of money to Chen Fangli, saying, "Second Aunt, this is for you privately, it's your secret stash of money. Don't tell anyone."
"With this money, if I'm not in Italy and you suddenly really want to see me someday, you don't need to discuss it with your second uncle. You can just use this money to buy a train ticket and come see me..."
Shen Xuewei cherished the warmth Chen Fangli gave her and was also grateful for the Chu family's acceptance of her.
She is the kind of person who will repay even the smallest kindness tenfold.
When I have money, I think about giving money to my loved ones, but I never think about this aspect.
It seems I'll have to be more careful about what I do in the future.
Chen Fangli's words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
"Okay, your aunt will listen to you. I'll use this money to buy train tickets and plane tickets to visit you at school and where you work."
Shen Xuewei nodded emphatically, "Yes!"
"Go to sleep, go to sleep. Your second aunt will take you shopping tomorrow, and you'll go back with your second aunt and uncle this afternoon."
Shen Xuewei closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Chen Fangli patted Shen Xuewei's back gently, just like she did when Shen Xuewei was a child, until Shen Xuewei fell asleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Chen Fangli and Shen Xuewei went out for a walk.
Chen Fanglan happened to run into the two of them downstairs and, upon learning that they were going shopping, decided to go with them.
After a few days of excitement, the old couple's place became quiet again as everyone left.
While wiping Grandpa Chen's body, Grandma Xi chatted with him about trivial matters.
Grandpa Chen could no longer speak, but he still tried his best to respond with "ah ah".
The caregiver helped Grandpa Chen turn over, took the basin of warm water from the floor and poured it out, then replaced it with a new basin of water.
Shen Xuewei prepared the meal in the kitchen.
She set the food on the table, took off her apron, walked to Grandpa Chen's door, and knocked.
"Grandma, Sister Yuan, dinner's ready."
"Hey, you eat first, we'll help your grandpa change his clothes and then we'll be there."
Shen Xuewei returned to the table and sat down. Instead of starting to eat, she took out her phone to reply to a few messages. She only began eating after they came out.
When does Vivi start school?
Shen Xuewei took a bite of rice, swallowed it, and said, "I'm going back to school to register on the 27th. I also have some other things to do at school, so I plan to go back on the 25th."
Grandma Xi nodded gently, a little reluctant to part.
"So you're going to stay home for another two weeks? If you leave, there won't be anyone to talk to me."
Shen Xuewei comforted her, "Grandma, I'll come back to visit you whenever I have time."
"If you miss me, you can call me. I set it up for you last time; just press 5 and then dial, and it will call me..."
As people get older, they enjoy being surrounded by lively people.
But everyone has their own things to do and won't come to her every day.
Even though Chen Fangyang and Chen Fanglan spend most of their time in the city, they don't live together. They usually only visit each other once a week at most.
Although there is a caregiver at home who can talk to her, she is still somewhat lonely.
She stayed in Italy until the 25th before returning to school.
Shortly after the start of the school year, Shen Xuewei finally finished writing "The Record of the Demon King of the World".
She spent several years writing this novel, which has reached nearly five million words, and has finally come to an end.
Readers who had been following the series for several years were so moved by the final chapter that they almost cried.
The next moment, people in the discussion forum urged Shen Xuewei to update the side stories, or even start a new book if necessary.
Shen Xuewei looked at the readers' excited comments and simply closed the webpage.
Hey, she's finally finished the novel, and now she wants to relax.
As for publishing a new book?
At least not for the foreseeable future, I have no such idea.
Having finally relieved herself of two heavy burdens, Shen Xuewei not only completed her studies but also began to participate more frequently in school and club activities, and often went out to eat with the Lü Zhuyin sisters.
Ever since she and Su Shu had a conflict over course selection during the second semester of her freshman year, their relationship had remained lukewarm.
They don't intentionally talk to each other, but occasionally they'll greet each other when they're in a good mood.
But that's all.
After Lu Jiayi took a second major, she became extremely busy. In addition, she also had part-time jobs both on and off campus, so she couldn't even take care of Huang Xin much.
Huang Xin was initially a little angry, but her temper came and went quickly.
Lu Jiayi could easily appease her with a few words, and occasionally when Lu Jiayi was too busy to eat, she would bring her food back from the cafeteria.
As a result, Shen Xuewei and she were actually closer in daily life.
She is delicate and impulsive, but if she does something wrong, she will take the initiative to admit her mistake. Overall, she is an easy girl to get along with.
When Lu Jiayi returned from her shift at the campus supermarket in the evening, Huang Xin immediately went to greet her.
"Jiayi, you're back!"
"Why do you look so unhappy?"
Lu Jiayi sighed and sat down.
"I'm fine, it's just that I might lose my job at the campus supermarket."
