Dou Qianqian: "Even your own sister needs to be reasonable. You are highly educated people, but where is the most basic courtesy and upbringing?"
"Is it polite for her to say that about us?"
"Who told you to provoke her first? If she tells Shen Yu, let's see how you'll end up. Don't forget that Shen Yu is your leader."
"Tsk, that would make me look down on her even more. She has no education and no skills, and can only live by relying on men. She is a parasite!"
"How do you know she's a parasite? Maybe she has a job back home. Taotao behaves decently and elegantly, and her clothes are well-matched. Her hair is really beautiful. I don't know how she managed to braid her hair so delicately and beautifully. I want to grow my hair long... She's not uneducated as you say. On the contrary, I think she's well-educated."
"What do you mean by good upbringing? I think she is a cunning person. She married Shen Yu by trickery. With Shen Yu supporting her, can't she pretend? I heard that she came from the most remote and poorest place in another province. She has only been to school for a few days. She wants the Xu family to help her go to college and get a diploma. What kind of job do you think she can have?"
"It's just what I heard, it's not credible."
"Gu Panpan and Pan Lina said it themselves. Pan Lina is the granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family. We can believe it, right?"
"Don't spread what others say."
"Hey, did she do you any good? Why are you so willing to protect her?"
Dou Qianqian paused and said, "She is Brother Zhehan's adopted sister. Han Chaoyang also has to recognize her as a cousin. They are relatives."
"you……"
Dou Nannan was so angry that she took a while to speak: "No wonder people say that girls are extroverts and have their elbows turned outward. You haven't even married Han Chaoyang yet, but you've already protected even the cats and dogs in his family. If you really marry him in the future, will you still have me as your sister in your eyes?"
"What cats and dogs? Don't talk nonsense outside. I know you like Shen Yu and you are inevitably hostile to Tao Tao, but they are already married. You have to accept this fact and stop having illusions. Tao Tao is Shen Yu's wife and the granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family. Our family has a good relationship with the Xu family. If you keep doing this and don't know how to respect others, once something unpleasant happens, it will be the grandparents who will have a hard time."
“…”
Dou Nannan felt so upset when her sister touched her heart, but she couldn't get angry. She bit her lip and glared at Dou Qianqian, with tears gradually forming in her eyes.
Dou Qianqian turned her eyes away. She felt sorry for her sister, but there were some things she had to say clearly.
There was a coughing sound coming from the inner room. Old Man Dou was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The two sisters thought he was asleep, but in fact he was just pretending to be asleep. When he heard that the sisters had stopped making noise, he asked them to come in.
The two sisters worked together to help Grandpa Dou sit up and lean him against the head of the bed. Dou Nannan hugged her grandfather's arm and acted coquettishly.
Grandpa Dou patted his granddaughter's hand and sighed, "I heard everything. Your sister is right. You must be obedient and stop being willful when you grow up."
Dou Nannan leaned her head on her grandfather's shoulder: "You promised me that you would let me marry him..."
"Alas, your grandmother and I mentioned it to your Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu. They all thought it was a good idea and asked Shen Yu about it. But Shen Yu said at that time that he had no plans to get married. I thought that since you were still young, there was no need to rush. We decided to let them work together first and spend more time together. Over time, you two could slowly develop feelings for each other. But who knew that he would meet Tao Tao... I can only say that you two are not meant to be together. Forget it. Let's look for someone else?"
"No, I just want Shen Yu!"
"Don't be unreasonable!"
"grandfather!"
Dou Nannan twisted her body like a twisted dough stick, and Mr. Dou frowned:
"In short, you are not allowed to destroy the relationship between couples, and you are not allowed to slander Taotao without restraint. I don't want to see that the granddaughter raised by me and my wife will be a person with no morals and low character! Your Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu are very protective of their children. Taotao is pregnant. If you don't know how to provoke her, and Taotao has an accident, you will never be welcomed by them in the future! And the Meng family values Taotao very much. With Mr. Meng's temperament, how could he casually recognize a goddaughter? Taotao's appearance and temperament are more like the Meng family than the one they raise under their noses.
Taotao married Shen Yu, who is talented and capable. He can import rare materials from some channels. You don’t understand how precious those things are to old guys like us… I’m talking to you very seriously now, and I hope you can think it through and don’t be stupid.”
Dou Nannan sniffed and nodded gently: "Grandpa, I know. I just said a few words unwillingly. I won't do it again in the future, and I will never do anything tasteless."
"Well, this is grandpa's good grandson."
Meng Tao returned to Xu's house. When she got off the car, she touched her ears and wondered if she had accidentally come into contact with some trees or flowers that were prone to allergies, as this was why her ears were so hot.
Shen Yu came back during lunch time. Meng Tao was very happy. After being busy for so many days, she could finally go home for lunch.
However, Shen Yu was in a hurry. He did not rest after dinner. He went back to the room to get some things and was about to go out again. He also told Meng Tao to have a good rest at night and not to wait for him, as he might not be back until late at night.
"You're so busy, what happened?" Meng Tao asked, a little worried.
Shen Yu held her in his arms and kissed her: "I have finished my job and will assist my eldest cousin. You just be good and don't worry."
“Is the great golden shark coming?”
"No, but there are two things happening around here that are related to him. I'll go check it out."
"With my eldest cousin?"
"My eldest cousin is in the south. He deliberately spread the news about Mu Wenxin. The big golden shark confirmed that Mu Wenxin was dead and the treasure was lost. He was furious and stirred up trouble. My eldest cousin and Zhehan are busy setting up nets to hunt."
“You’re going south too.”
"It's not the right time yet."
Shen Yu arranged his young wife's hair and said, "The great golden sharks thrive in the south, and they have three burrows. They are not easy to catch and it takes a lot of time. But I can't leave you for too long. I have to wait until the baby is born.
I wanted to use Mu Wenxin as bait to lure the great golden shark deeper into the mainland. I could spend three to five days dealing with him and decide the outcome."
"It'll be a long time before the baby is born. It'll be next year, and the mother hasn't been found yet. Every day the great golden shark exists will be a day more of a hidden danger. If you're worried, I can go south with you."
"No, that's more dangerous."
Shen Yu held Meng Tao's hand tightly and said, "I will kill the great golden shark at any cost, but I can't gamble with your safety. I can't afford to lose."
