Chapter 100: They are young and ignorant
Shen Jintao was really surprised and didn't understand the meaning of Shen Chuntao's behavior.
"I have money, you should keep it for yourself. If Chen Chunmiao knew that I took your money, she would go crazy."
Chen Jintao was telling the truth. She had no shortage of ten dollars, and she didn't want to argue with the people from the second house over ten dollars.
Shen Chuntao withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, "Taozi, I know Chunmiao is a little willful, but she is my sister, and I... Hey, I apologize to you on her behalf."
"It's okay. I don't care anymore." Chen Jintao's attitude was still cold. "Anything else?"
"Um... Taozi, can you talk to uncle about Chunmiao's man returning to the city? I heard that he wants to give the quota to another male educated youth. You see, it doesn't matter who you give it to, why not give it to the whole family? Lu Qingshan is now your brother-in-law, uncle's nephew-in-law, right?"
Chen Jintao: ...
You shouldn't expect normal people in the second house. It's nonsense to say that good bamboo shoots will come out of bad bamboos.
Shen Chuntao was not unaware of what Chen Chunmiao had done to Shen Jintao, but anyone with a brain should know that since Chen Chunmiao pushed Shen Jintao into the water, it was impossible for her to regard Chen Chunmiao as her cousin anymore.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. Even if my dad is the team leader now, he can't give the quota to anyone he wants. Do you think the team leaders don't need to discuss or vote?"
"Of course I know that a vote is needed, but if uncle is willing to say a few good words for Lu Qingshan, others will definitely not say anything."
Shen Chuntao looked at Shen Jintao expectantly.
Chen Jintao was speechless. She also knew that as long as Shen Jianmin spoke, the team leaders would definitely be willing to give him face. After all, no matter who returned to the city, it would not have any impact on them.
But why?
"Chen Chuntao, it's only because we have some blood relationship that I am willing to say a few more words to you. Why don't you use your brain and think about it carefully? Why should I help Lu Qingshan? Because he ate and used so many good things from me and made a fool of me? Or because Chen Chunmiao pushed me into this and asked me to marry my man, I should thank her?"
Chen Jintao really couldn't figure out what was in Shen Chuntao's mind, but since the whole family was like this, it was understandable.
I originally thought that Shen Chuntao was a relatively normal person, but I didn't expect that he was not that good.
"I know Chunmiao did some bad things in the past. Isn't that due to being young and ignorant? You should be more magnanimous." Shen Chuntao's attitude was very humble, not at all like the attitude that a brother should have towards his sister.
He also had his own difficulties. He was dating a girl, but the girl wanted a dowry of 100 yuan. How could his family afford so much money? After Chen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan got married, they would go back to her parents' home from time to time to ask for money. What's more, the other party not only wanted a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift but also a bicycle. This request may not be high, but it is definitely not low in the countryside.
Chen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan have already promised that as long as he can help Lu Qingshan return to the city, he will give him 100 yuan, and Lu Qingshan will also find a way to get him a bicycle ticket, so that his pressure will be much less.
"Ignorant? I'm younger than her. See if I can do something like pushing my own cousins into the water." Chen Jintao sneered.
Shen Chuntao was a little embarrassed. "Taozi, my brother has never asked you for anything. This is the first time. Don't you want to help with such a small favor? It's something that can be solved as long as you ask. Isn't it very simple for you?"
"I can't help with big things, and you don't need to help with small things. Generally speaking, I won't help you. Just give up on this idea." Chen Jintao is not a saint. No one in this family is sincere to her. They are probably thinking about how to plot against her when they can't see her. She would be crazy to help.
"Taozi, are you really going to be so heartless?" Shen Chuntao was also a little angry, and his tone was a little heavier.
"What's wrong? Not helping you is too much?" Chen Jintao rolled her eyes. "Don't expect to find a breakthrough from me. Instead of wasting time with me, it's better to let Lu Qingshan perform well. Maybe he can get a place to return to the city next year."
"Goodbye!"
After Shen Jintao said this, Shen Chuntao was completely embarrassed and went back in disgrace.
Chen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan had been waiting in the old house for a long time. When they saw Chen Chuntao coming back, they immediately went to greet him, "Brother, how is it? Did she agree?"
Shen Chuntao shook his head. "She is simply unyielding and doesn't give me any respect at all. I don't think I can handle this."
Shen Chuntao felt very annoyed. He also wanted to accomplish this so that he wouldn't have to worry about the bride price. But it was obvious that Shen Jintao was not that easy to talk to.
"How come you can't even do such a small thing?" Shen Chunmiao looked at his brother with disdain.
Shen Chuntao was not without temper. He was also very annoyed after hearing this. "If you were so capable, you wouldn't have to beg Shen Jintao. And if you hadn't been so unkind to her every time, and pushed Shen Jintao into the water in order to get rid of the engagement with Huo Beichuan, how could there be so many problems now? Maybe we haven't even separated yet! The eldest house will still help us. Isn't this your problem? I really don't know what's going on in your mind! You were the one who wanted that marriage in the first place, and you were also the one who didn't want to get married later. If you didn't grab that marriage in the first place, there wouldn't be so many problems later."
Chen Chunmiao was a little angry at what her brother said, especially in front of Lu Qingshan.
"When did I snatch Shen Jintao's marriage? The marriage between the Shen family and the Huo family was already arranged long ago!"
"Oh! Don't think I don't know. The daughter-in-law that the Huo family favored from the beginning was Shen Jintao. It was you who went to grandma to make trouble to coax Huo Beichuan back to get engaged. If you really married an officer, our family's life would be much better. It would be better than having to go back to her parents' home from time to time to beg for money to survive!"
Shen Chuntao also knew that he really couldn't get anything done, and he didn't want to be nice to Shen Chunmiao. He already had a grudge against Shen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan. If they hadn't gone back to her parents' home every now and then, life at home wouldn't have been so difficult, and he wouldn't have had such a hard time finding a wife. Wasn't all this caused by these two people?
Now you still have the nerve to blame yourself for being useless, what a joke!
Chen Chunmiao was so angry that his face was distorted. Lu Qingshan, who was standing beside him, also had a dark face. Finally, he slapped Chen Chunmiao on the back of his head and left angrily.
