Chapter 60 Since We're Already Here
Shen Jiaying's smile froze; he never expected to hear this answer from Shen Xuewei.
He was still unwilling to give up, emphasizing, "Xiaowei, you're still young and don't understand the seriousness of the matter. If your household registration is at your maternal grandfather's house, you won't be a member of our Shen family anymore, and Dad won't want you anymore."
Grandma Xi, standing to the side, scolded him with displeasure.
"Xiao Shen, what are you saying? Weiwei is still young, how can you say such hurtful things to her?"
Shen Xuewei, who was completely unharmed, showed no change in her emotions.
She used to long to be loved, to receive love from her parents.
When you no longer crave that love, you become heartless.
That way, she won't be hurt at all; she'll just find it a little funny.
She still said the same thing: "I'll listen to my grandfather."
Enraged by the same answer, Shen's father made a harsh statement.
"Alright, then I'll grant your wish. From now on, you can stay in that mountainous area for the rest of your life and never come back!"
The call was abruptly disconnected. Shen Xuewei put the phone back, showing no sign of sadness.
Grandma Xi hugged her tightly with a look of heartache.
"Don't cry, Weiwei, don't be sad. Your dad was just saying things he didn't mean, he was just saying them in anger, don't take it to heart."
Shen Xuewei smiled and said, "Yes, Grandma, I won't hold it against you."
Shen's father moved very quickly, or rather, Chen Fangmin moved very quickly.
On the same day that Shen's father agreed, he quickly sent the documents needed for registering the household registration to Chen's maternal grandfather.
After being angry for a while, Shen's father finally remembered the matter and decided to talk to Shen Xuewei properly and persuade her.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the documents had already been sent.
Meanwhile, Chen's maternal grandfather had already received the documents sent by Chen Fangmin and quickly went to the police station to register Shen Xuewei's household registration.
Although she was registered in the Chen family's household registration, Shen Xuewei still retained the surname Shen.
In any case, her father's family name should be Shen, and she has had the surname Shen for so many years. Her maternal grandfather does not want to change her surname as well.
Staring at the name on the household registration book, Shen Xuewei felt a mix of emotions.
Finally... she was no longer an unregistered resident.
She didn't expect Grandpa Chen to act so quickly. The key point is that at this time, registering a child born in violation of the one-child policy requires paying a fee, and the amount is not low.
Where did her maternal grandfather get such a large sum of money so quickly?
She returned home with this question in mind, only to find that Chen Fangyang had unexpectedly returned home, and her grandfather wasn't even angry...
She thought she already knew the reason.
Chen Fangyang is not short of money now, and has given money to the Chen family on and off since getting married.
But Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi refused him every time, not even letting him into their home.
This time, it's estimated that he took money from Chen Fangyang in order to get Shen Xuewei's household registration... This also means that Grandpa Chen has compromised and acknowledged the affair between Chen Fangyang and Zhao Fang'er.
When Chen Fangyang saw Shen Xuewei, he excitedly shook her.
"Little Weiwei, you are truly my benefactor! If you ever need anything in the future, just tell me. For the sake of our friendship, I will definitely help you."
Shen Xuewei was prone to motion sickness, and before she could even catch her breath after getting out of the van, he was rocking her around like that.
He immediately opened his mouth and vomited all over the bowl of noodles he had eaten before getting on the bus.
She felt better after vomiting, and felt no guilt whatsoever towards Chen Fangyang.
He simply said perfunctorily, "I'm sorry, Second Uncle, I didn't mean to."
Who told him to shake her? If he hadn't shaken her, would she have thrown up on him?
Chen Fangyang jumped three feet high after being hit by her vomit, and said angrily:
"Wow, Weiwei, do you know what brand this outfit is? It costs three or four thousand yuan. You spit this out, how am I supposed to wear anything after this...?"
Shen Xuewei ignored her and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Grandpa, my second uncle..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Fangyang covered his mouth.
"Alright, alright, it's your second uncle's fault. He shouldn't have said that to you. Don't complain to your grandfather. My relationship with him has only just improved a little. If you complain, he might kick me out again."
As he spoke, he pulled out a ten-yuan note and gave it to her.
Shen Xuewei held the ten-yuan note and made a "woo-woo" sound.
Chen Fangyang understood her gaze and then lowered his hand.
Chen Fangyang only stayed for one day after returning home. After having lunch at home early the next morning, he drove away impatiently.
Grandpa Chen stood on the threshing ground, watching Chen Fangyang's car drive away, and sighed.
He slowly walked back into the room, saw Shen Xuewei's homework on the table, and glanced at it.
Seeing the neat handwriting and all the correct answers, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Before returning to school on Sunday, Shen Xuewei mysteriously pulled Grandma Xi aside.
"Grandma, bring your household registration book and ID card. Shall we go to town to open a bank account?"
Grandma Xi asked in confusion, "Why do you need a bank card?"
Shen Xuewei whispered, "When I left school, I heard that if you opened a bank account at the credit union, they would give you rice and peanut oil as a gift."
Grandma Xi's eyes lit up. "Is there such a good thing? Then Grandma will go with you to take a look... Why don't we ask your grandpa to do it too? He can get an extra portion of rice and peanut oil."
Shen Xuewei quickly stopped her.
Her maternal grandmother was easy to fool, but her maternal grandfather was not.
Anyway, she'll just have to fool her grandmother into getting the bank card. Once it's done, the die is cast, and her grandfather might just scold her a couple of times. She's not afraid at all.
Tempted by the rice and peanut oil, Grandma Xi, along with Shen Xuewei and Wu Yuhong, boarded a minibus to go to town.
Upon arriving in town, Wu Yuhong said goodbye to the two men and went back to school first.
Grandma Xi, along with Shen Xuewei, couldn't wait to head to the rural credit cooperative.
Once inside the rural credit cooperative, she couldn't wait to ask the staff.
"I heard that you give away rice and oil when you open a bank account here, is that right?"
This credit union is the only bank in town, and in view of the financial needs of the town's residents, it usually arranges for staff to be on duty on weekends.
The credit union staff were stunned by what Grandma Xi said.
"Huh? We didn't send any rice or oil?"
If such a good thing happened, she would like to get a few more cards.
Upon hearing that there was no such result, Grandma Xi was somewhat disappointed and looked at Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei slapped her forehead in annoyance, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I must have misheard you. I made you come all this way for nothing. But..."
She changed the subject, "Since we're already here, and we'll definitely need it later, let's just get it done."
Grandma Xi felt it was a waste of money to spend three yuan on the trip there and another three yuan on the trip back.
"Let's get one then, instead of wasting the travel expenses."
Grandma Xi only recognized the characters on the money; she didn't recognize many other characters. She needed Shen Xuewei to help her recognize the characters when she applied for the card.
After some persuasion from Shen Xuewei, Grandma Xi's bank card was successfully issued.
