Chapter 53 Cut off contact with those relatives
My cousin's wife had a sullen face and she forced out the words of thanks through gritted teeth. In front of so many people, she felt so angry that it hurt to breathe.
She is not a fool, how could she not see that Shen You did it on purpose.
Chen You just saw that their family is in a bad state now, so he came to add insult to injury. They will get better again, and these people will regret it sooner or later!
She also has a younger brother who is very ambitious.
The uncle's family, who had been watching the whole show, actually spoke on Chen You's side this time. Knowing that they must have some plans behind the scenes, Chen You was not in a hurry.
When we sat down to eat, as expected, my aunt started talking after she had a bowl of chicken soup.
I first praised her and then got to the point.
"Xiao You, look, we are all family. Your store makes a lot of money, but your brother only has that little salary. Can you bring your brother along to work with you?"
Speaking of this issue, the cousin's wife, who was so angry at Chen You just now that she turned her face away, also looked over.
"Aunt, I've only received two orders since we opened the shop." Chen You smiled and shook her head.
"Besides, what I do is restore antiques, and my cousin doesn't know how to do it. Apart from anything else, if something goes wrong, none of us can afford to pay for it."
He wants to do it too? The cousin sitting here, a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, can be ripped off and left with nothing in less than three days in the antique street.
Even if the shop was not connected to the plane, Chen You would never let them get involved.
"It's like this. Your cousin can help you with business and socializing, but you should still do the professional stuff. Isn't that great?"
An Lifeng was afraid that her cousin's wife next to her would take over the job, so she quickly said to Father Shen,
"It's safer to have people with the same surname do these things, right, Uncle San?"
After hearing these suggestive words, my cousin and his wife refused to do the job. In order to grab the job, both sides started to sabotage each other and were about to bang the table and smash the bowls.
"Zou Jun, Tang Rou, I don't even want to talk about your family. Have you paid back the money you owe to Third Uncle's family and the money you guaranteed for them? How can you still let Chen You lead you to do this?"
My cousin showed his fighting ability.
My cousin and his wife were no better. My cousin and his wife sarcastically said,
"What's so good about your crappy things? Do you want to help Xiaoyou or take advantage of the opportunity to seize the shop? You know it clearly."
Neither Chen You's parents nor her aunt could persuade her. Chen You had already seen through the true colors of these people. She smiled and turned the table to eat. She only put down her chopsticks after she was full.
"I don't need any socializing or business here, or do you know any collectors who need antiques repaired?"
The two sides who were arguing fiercely suddenly fell silent.
"Don't you know someone there?" Aunt said with a flattering smile.
If this girl can help to make the connection, they will have this connection.
"I just know a classmate from college, and he gave me the order."
Chen You looked at them with a smile, wanting to use her connections to get outsiders to share her money.
That’s a nice thought.
"This job takes dozens of hours, and I earn money from my craft. I can't afford to pay you a salary. The rent of some stores in Antique Street is not expensive. If you like this business, you can buy it yourself."
Seeing that Chen You showed no mercy, both sides' attitudes towards her instantly faded.
Do they need to ask her if they want to understand?
The last time I came back from Jiangcheng, I heard from the company leaders that those who can do this job are all very capable and have no shortage of connections. They may even know some big shots.
That’s why they took great pains to please Chen You’s family and specially sent them mooncakes.
As a result, this girl guards against her family as if they were thieves.
When she got home that night, Chen You followed the online tutorial to cook the bird's nest. She popped her head out to her parents in the living room and said,
"See? They are only thinking about how to get something out of me."
Mother Shen's lips moved. She had taken care of her relatives for half her life, so she couldn't say anything heartless. She still had some affection in her heart.
"If we can really help, we still have to talk about blood ties. We can't just look at our family."
Without saying anything, Chen You took out the recording from last time.
"Dad, Mom, when you were not around, they didn't have this attitude today."
After hearing this, Shen's father and mother's faces changed. The last time their uncle and his family came back, they didn't tell them this.
No matter what her aunt said, they were kind enough to help carry some things over, but Chen You didn't treat them well and even refused to let them in. She sounded so aggrieved and her eyes were red.
The couple was so frightened that they quickly apologized on behalf of their daughter.
After listening to the recording today, I realized that from beginning to end, the one who was truly wronged was my daughter.
Father and Mother Shen were silent for a long time, their faces showing loss, sadness, and a little helplessness.
The last time this happened was the day I heard that my second uncle ran away.
"We should just live our own lives from now on. Those people should have stayed away from us long ago. We have done our best."
She was very polite in her words, otherwise she would have just used those old and middle-level ones directly.
Under Shen You's gaze, Shen's father and mother nodded silently.
"According to your arrangement, your mother and I will settle down in Jiangcheng in a while."
After hearing the satisfactory answer, Shen You felt relieved this time.
She had just gone to bring out the bird's nest when Shen's mother received a call. When she came back, she hesitated and said to Shen You,
"Your aunt said there's a good boy she wants to introduce to you. Do you want to take a look?"
“No.”
Chen You refused without even thinking, "Last time she tricked me out and introduced me to a bald guy who was not as tall as me and ten years older than me. What truth can she tell this time?"
"Okay, then I'll turn it down for you." Mother Shen said.
In such matters, the family would never force Chen You, but those old men, who could not gain any benefit, wanted to use her as a favor.
My aunt was not very happy when she received the news.
She sent a long string of voice messages talking about how good the other person's family situation was, and saying that it was useless for a man to be handsome, he had to be reliable.
It seems like their whole family doesn't know how to appreciate good people.
Chen You just found it funny. If it was really that good, aunt would have introduced her to her own niece long ago.
The aunt sent the photo very confidently, and when Chen You's parents saw it, their expressions frowned.
Which kind person can introduce a guy who is in his thirties and so heavy that it's scary to be with his relative's daughter?
"Absolutely not! Our family is not well off, but no matter how poor we are, we will never cling to others!"
Mother Shen was also annoyed, and sent another voice message afterwards, saying directly not to introduce them again in the future.
The Mid-Autumn Festival meal with those people was not very joyful, so the next morning, Chen You went out to buy some seafood and a durian.
The whole family ate as much as they wanted and felt much more comfortable.
The neighbor who came back that day said that the girl was not as good as his son, and when he saw that Chen You bought so many things, he started to say that Chen You was a spendthrift.
"After graduating, the girl made some money. How can she be considered a spendthrift if she comes back to buy something for her parents?"
"You think this one or two thousand is a waste, but maybe it's just a small amount of money for Miss Shen You."
Both Shen's father and mother were well-known for their kindness in the yard, and there were many neighbors willing to help speak up, not to mention that these neighbors had all accepted Chen You's mooncakes.
The person who liked to point fingers behind people's backs, seeing that no one was on his side, snorted and went home.
