Chapter 48 You're shameless!
Chen Fangqiu gradually calmed down and realized that Shen Xuewei's words made a lot of sense. He became more patient and pressed on with his question:
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
Shen Xuewei clapped her hands, "Uncle, we can start by attacking his weakness!"
"A weakness?" Chen Fangqiu muttered.
What is Xu Zhiyuan's weakness, and how could he know it?
He looked at Shen Xuewei, and although he didn't say anything, Shen Xuewei could see the question in his eyes.
She looked around and saw no one or any vehicles passing by, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the method she was about to suggest was rather immoral and unethical.
However, this is the best way to help her aunt get a divorce smoothly, without delaying the process or going to court.
"I heard from my aunt that my uncle doesn't care about anyone but his mother. His mother runs a small shop in the village and guards it every day. Uncle, you take your friends and do nothing but camp out at his mother's shop every day."
“If someone buys something, you chase them away, then give their mother a menacing look, and follow her wherever she goes…”
"She'll be terrified then, and she'll tell her uncle. Then you can say some harsh things to her uncle. With all that groundwork laid, and considering how much he cares about his mother, he'll definitely agree to the divorce."
Xu Zhiyuan lost his father at a young age, and his mother raised him alone and supported his education.
Therefore, he was extremely filial to his mother and listened to everything she said.
His previous wife suffered a lot at her hands after marrying into the family, and his aunt also endured a lot of hardship under Xu Zhiyuan's mother.
Xu Zhiyuan may not care about anything else, but his mother is definitely the one he cherishes most.
Xu Zhiyuan knew a fair bit about Chen Fanglan's family situation and knew that Chen Fangqiu was a reckless and unruly person.
If he sets his sights on you...
Chen Fangqiu listened to Shen Xuewei's method and fell into deep thought.
The method is good, but...
He stared at Shen Xuewei and asked, "Where did you learn this method? At such a young age, have you been influenced by bad people in society and learned bad habits?"
His life is already ruined, that's how it is anyway.
It's fine if he goes astray, but his niece is not even ten years old yet, and I've always heard that she has excellent grades in school. At least... she can't be like him.
Facing his suspicious gaze, Shen Xuewei said innocently:
"Uncle, what are you thinking? I'm at school every day, and my classmates are at school too. Where would I go to go astray?"
"Don't we have a TV at home? I was watching TV the other day, and there was a guy who had his underlings deal with people this way. Don't you think this method is perfect for us?"
Upon hearing that she hadn't gone astray, Chen Fangqiu's furrowed brows relaxed.
"Hmm, that's a good idea. I'll think about it."
Shen Xuewei shook his hand, "Oh, Uncle, don't even think about it. Just listen to me, you won't go wrong. Your aunt has been thinking about divorce for a long time. Can you bear to see your aunt dragged on for so long, afraid to go home, hiding all day for fear of being beaten?"
Although Chen Fangqiu is a scoundrel, he is soft-hearted towards his family.
Upon hearing this, he said in a deep voice, "I understand. I will definitely handle this matter well. When the time comes, you can tell your aunt to wait to come back and get a divorce."
Upon receiving his promise, Shen Xuewei beamed with joy, almost jumping for joy.
"Okay, then Auntie and I will wait for your good news."
Chen Fangqiu nodded casually and walked out along the road.
Shen Xuewei paused for a moment, then chased after him.
Chen Fangqiu turned around impatiently, about to scold her, when she heard Shen Xuewei say with expectant eyes:
"Uncle, after this incident, could you please stop getting into fights? And if anyone tries to gamble with you, please don't listen to them. Find a good job and come back to visit Grandpa and Grandma more often, okay?"
Staring at her upturned face, Chen Fangqiu's hand froze in mid-air before finally slapping her forehead.
"What's it to you? Mind your own business. You don't understand the adult world."
He pushed Shen Xuewei back and walked away without looking back.
Shen Xuewei sighed and was about to go back when she discovered that Chen Fangqiu had turned back again.
She asked in confusion, "Uncle, why are you back?"
Chen Fangqiu didn't say anything, but just stared at her bulging pockets and reached out his hand.
A minute later, Chen Fangqiu walked away with a handful of loose change in his hand.
Shen Xuewei, whose pockets had been emptied, was so angry that tears and snot streamed down her face.
"Uncle, you even steal money from children, you have no shame!"
Chen Fangqiu just snatched more than ten yuan from her. It was the money that Teacher Lin had given her earlier, as well as what she had earned at school this week.
I originally planned to save them in a tin box when I got home, but Chen Fangqiu snatched them all away in no time!
Even at dinner time that evening, Shen Xuewei's eyes were still swollen, and she looked listless.
Grandma Xi put a piece of food into her bowl and coaxed, "Weiwei, don't be angry. When your uncle comes back, Grandma will help you beat him up, okay?"
Shen Xuewei nodded, holding the bowl, and finally showed her first smile since entering the room.
Granny Chen finished her meal faster than her, grinning with her toothless mouth open, and reached out to touch her head, pressing down a tuft of hair that was sticking up.
She got up and slowly walked back to her room.
A moment later, he walked towards her with a bag of candy.
"Weiwei eats candy; eating sweets makes her happy."
Shen Xuewei declined, unwilling to accept it.
She shouted, "If Weiwei doesn't want to eat it, Grandma will keep it for herself!"
Grandma Chen pointed to the bag of candy, then to her own teeth and said, "Weiwei, eat this. It's hard. Grandma can't bite it and doesn't like it."
Shen Xuewei took the bag of candy and saw that it was a bag of hard candy, which explained why her great-grandmother said she couldn't eat it.
She said thank you loudly, then put the candy aside.
The old woman looked at her with a smile, peeled a piece of candy herself, put it in her mouth, and said, "Sweet, this is sweet..."
Grandma Xi muttered in a low voice, "She's eating her meal, why are you giving her candy? If she's eating candy now, she won't want to eat her rice later."
The great-grandmother couldn't hear Grandma Xi's complaints and continued to stare at Shen Xuewei with a loving expression.
With candy in her mouth, Shen Xuewei truly refused to eat any more of the rice in her bowl.
In the end, urged by Grandma Xi, she ate two more bites, but refused to eat the remaining half bowl no matter what.
Grandma Xi had no choice but to meow twice towards the door, and Da Huang wagged its tail and ran in.
"Go and fetch your dog bowl."
Dahuang could understand, so it turned around and brought the dog bowl in, placing it in front of Grandma Xi.
Grandma Xi poured the remaining rice from Shen Xuewei's bowl into Da Huang's dog bowl, added two spoonfuls of vegetable soup, and then brought the dog bowl to Da Huang.
"Alright, here's an extra treat for you today, eat up."
Big Yellow buried its head in its food, its tail wagging happily behind it.
