Chapter 40
This grandpa has so many castles?!
Everyone in my mom’s family is more capable than the other!
Sheng Dong: "Pick one for you?"
"No need." Xiao Fusheng still had some idea of his financial situation. "I can't afford it right now."
She said with a sad face: "Grandpa, please keep it for now. When Fusheng makes money, I will come to buy it from you."
Sheng Dong was stunned for a moment.
His original intention was to give one to her. After all, giving it to her would be no different from giving it to his own daughter. It was not a big deal.
But he didn't expect that this little guy would attach such importance to earning money to buy a castle for his parents, and he must earn it with his own hands.
"Please don't interfere." Sheng Zhao said, "They have their own ideas, and we don't understand them."
It’s like the little girl always thinks her mother is poor, and if Sheng Ning really wants to give her a castle, will she be stingy?
"That's your business." Sheng Dong looked at Sheng Ning. "She's young and doesn't understand. You can go and see her when the time comes."
Of course, Sheng Ning would not want her old father's castle. She couldn't even live in it, so it would just be there for display.
"Grandpa." Little Fusheng grabbed his new grandfather's collar. "If you want to give me a gift, then teach me how to make money. I'm a good learner."
"Let's talk about this later." Sheng Dong carried her out and asked Butler Cai, "Is the meal ready?"
I said I would prepare dinner an hour ago.
"It's ready." Butler Cai T hesitated for a moment. "It's the shrimp that the young lady said she wanted to make. She was worried that the young ladies would get spanked when it wasn't done, so she came up here."
“Yes!”
Little Fusheng suddenly remembered what he hadn't done yet and jumped out of his grandfather's arms: "Fusheng still wants to make crayfish. Those are the ones Fusheng and the moms caught. Grandpa, wait a minute!"
Before the adults could react, she ran out the same way she came in, squeezed through the gap next to the housekeeper, and ran away with the sound of her footsteps.
Sheng Dong listened to the cheerful footsteps in amazement, and after a while he whispered, "This is what a child should be like."
But... does she really know how to make crayfish?
Except for Sheng Ning, everyone else just reacted and rushed to the kitchen.
The chefs in the kitchen here are all very professional and have their own professional equipment, but Xiao Fusheng doesn’t have any. The uncles and aunts can only find aprons, fold them again and again, and put them on him, while watching nervously from the side.
Little Fusheng could barely reach the stove by standing on a stool. He didn't notice that several adults had already entered the kitchen. Without even turning his head, he said, "Uncle, can you help me pour out the shrimp?"
She really couldn't reach the basin!
The chef next to her hurriedly poured the shrimps into the pan. When the oil sizzled, the adults' hearts skipped a beat, but little Fusheng was the only one whose face turned red with excitement.
"Wait..." Before Sheng Dong could finish his words, the smell of the spices that Xiao Fusheng had taken in suddenly burst out, and the fragrance was overwhelming.
Surprisingly, it smells quite good?
Sheng Dong walked forward a few steps in disbelief and found that the chef was actually this little guy!
Sheng Zhao raised his hand and took a short video: "I've only seen her roasting snakes and digging grass roots, but I didn't expect she could do something with a shell."
After filming, I posted the video in the group, and those who were not asleep were watching it all the time.
Sheng Shi: I have been waiting for so long, just want to know what happened to that Qiao Ge. What did you show me?
Sheng Hang: It's that Qiao Ge, right? I'll kill him!
Sheng Huaiyu: I think the bigger problem is not the guy named Qiao, but... who did I see?
Sheng Zhi:? ? ?
Sheng Shi: What happened? He actually pushed my niece into the frying pan?
Sheng Huaiyu: How can you exist in the same space? This is unscientific.
Sheng Zhao: There was a little surprise, but not a big surprise. Anyway, the old man asked the little guy to call him grandpa.
Sheng Zhi: What I didn't get before was obtained by a little guy who is not related to me by blood...
Sheng Huaiyu: It turns out that he doesn’t know how to stay with children.
Sheng Hang: Why are you sad for an old man? As long as he has money, that’s enough. Can you please give me a bite of what that little guy made?
Sheng Shi: How come she knows everything! I want some too! Airfreight it over!
Sheng Hang: Sheng Ning, your good fortune is yet to come.
It’s impossible to transport them by air, but you can take a picture of the leftover shells to show them what it looks like.
The Sheng family has so many chefs who can cook all kinds of domestic and foreign cuisines, but tonight they are no match for the crayfish fried by a child.
Sheng Dong couldn't tell how long it had been since he had eaten at the same small table with two children. They were so close to each other, and there was not only silence at the table, but also the little guy chattering non-stop.
This is not table etiquette, but few people at this table know how to behave.
On the contrary, Sheng Dong felt somewhat moved and excited.
"Grandpa." Little Fusheng's lips turned red from sucking. He watched the servants beside him peel shrimp for his grandfather one by one. He ate slowly and leisurely. "This won't taste good."
No one has ever dared to say anything bad about the head of the family.
But Xiao Fusheng is not a "human".
She not only has to teach her parents, but also her grandfather. This is the joy of life. If you don't know something, you have to learn it.
"Grandpa and Fusheng are like this." She raised her greasy little claws and grabbed a shrimp. "Suck it, it smells so good."
The two people sitting next to her couldn't help but slow down their movements. Although they didn't dare to look her in the eye, they kept watching the father in the main seat with their peripheral vision.
Ha, father sucks shrimp.
Sheng Zhao even quietly took off his gloves, not caring about the oil on his hands, and couldn't wait to pick up his phone and start shooting.
"Miss, we..." Butler Cai tried to correct the young lady's willful behavior.
But he shut up the next second.
He saw the owner put on gloves and followed the child's movements to pick up a shrimp and put it to his mouth.
The table suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Butler Cai was stunned: What kind of shrimps are these? The master of the house has to suck them himself!
"That's right!" Little Fusheng was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere of the scene. He thought his grandfather was very obedient and eager to learn. "Grandpa, you did a great job."
Sheng Dong raised his eyebrows.
The taste is a bit stronger, but it brings more inner satisfaction that I have never experienced before.
Click, something flashed.
He raised his eyes and looked over.
The lights were dim, and Sheng Zhao, who had automatically turned on the flashlight, said calmly, "My phone's out of battery. Remind me."
"Yes." Sheng Ning remained calm, "Her phone looks like this."
When did these two become so in tune with each other?
But this did remind Sheng Dong. He continued to work, peeling shrimps gracefully. "I heard you have a group. Is Sheng Ning here too?"
"yes."
"show me."
"No." Sheng Zhao was the first to object. "This is a group of young people. What are you, an old man, doing in there?"
"Old man?" Sheng Dong smiled. "Isn't your topic right now about me, an old man?"
He was not interested in what these children said in the past, but was interested in what they were talking about him now.
Butler Cai understood what the head of the family meant. He reached out and took the fourth young lady's cell phone, the screen of which was still on, and quickly handed it to the head of the family.
"You're invading my privacy!" Sheng Zhao stood up angrily and tried to snatch it.
Sheng Dong took a quick look at the comments behind the pictures she had just posted.
Shengshi: P’s.
Sheng Zhi: Anyway, this is definitely not my father.
Sheng Huaiyu: This must be Fusheng’s grandfather, what does he have to do with us?
Sheng Hang: I almost went crazy thinking about my dad, but luckily I found another picture in time and came to my senses. [Picture]
It was a work photo taken by Sheng Dong.
Sheng Huaishen: Thank you, I’m sober now.
Sheng Shi: Thank you.
…
The phone was quickly snatched back, but Sheng Dong suddenly wanted to laugh.
He used to think that his children were very mature, but now he sees that they are still very childish.
Although he had indeed neglected the children in the past and had not taken good care of them in many areas, just like the children towards Sheng Ning, even after so many years of estrangement, in the end there was still an invisible bond connecting them together.
Fortunately, none of his children grew up crooked.
"Tell them that work doesn't have to be so hard." Sheng Dong retracted his gaze and continued peeling shrimp. "What belongs to you is yours. Come home often when you have time."
"Go home often, go home often, even if it's just to help mom wash the chopsticks and dishes. The elderly don't expect their children to make a big contribution to the family. It's not easy to be together in a lifetime, just to be together..."
Everyone looked at the little guy who was whimpering.
Little Fusheng's mouth was full of grease, and his innocent look was eye-catching: "Isn't that how it's sung? I saw it sung like that on TV!"
Sheng Dong thought thoughtfully: "It has been many years since I last celebrated the Chinese New Year in the country."
Since there is no one to accompany him, Sheng Ning will not go abroad in the short term, and the little guy can't go out either, then he might as well stay here for a while, just in time to deal with some inconsiderate guys.
He asked, "How is that man today?"
The person was taken away directly by Butler Cai, so he was the one who was in charge of the follow-up.
Neither Sheng Ning nor anyone else has much development in China, so professional matters should be left to professionals.
Butler Cai's expression grew serious. "After contacting the police, they went to the scene to search for evidence. However, they found no intentional action and no consequences were caused, so they gave the man a lecture and released him."
Qiao Ge admitted that he was the one who moved the signs, but he would never admit that he had the intention to harm anyone. In addition, he was also one of the victims. Apart from the injuries he suffered from the two ladies, there were no serious consequences.
Before this, Qiao Ge had no grudges against anyone present, and it was their first time meeting each other, so the police could not force a charge on him.
But Sheng Dong was not one to speak based on evidence. He said calmly, "Find someone to keep an eye on it."
"OK."
After dinner, Xiao Fusheng returned to his mother's room.
While Fourth Auntie was washing up, she pulled her mother to the balcony and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
Due to his limited cognition, Little Fusheng didn't know what the sound meant, nor did he know how to explain it. He could only recall step by step: "Mom, do you remember the things you taught me before?"
Sheng Ning nodded and arranged the courses for her.
"At that time, there was a voice in Fusheng's head saying that knowledge was being transferred."
Oh, that's the system.
Sheng Ning thought: Things have changed, and now she has this voice in her head.
"But Fusheng, now I hear this voice again."
Hearing this, Sheng Ning immediately became alert.
The child has come to the real world, and the game has stopped updating and the server has been shut down. Who will arrange classes for her now?
Xiao Fusheng: "It's on someone else."
Thinking of his barely half-favorable impression, Sheng Ning looked away as if to cover up: "Really?"
"Yes." Little Fusheng frowned, his whole face filled with confusion. "Both bad uncles have it. Did the system teach them bad things?"
Realizing that things were different from what he had imagined, Sheng Ning squatted down and asked, "What did you say?"
"Uncle Tian before." Little Fusheng said, "Fusheng only heard a little bit. It said Uncle Tian wanted luck, and also said that he wanted to abandon Uncle Tian."
Luck?
"What about Jorg?"
"That system said we need to be bound to Uncle Qiaoge and that it will suck away everyone's luck," Xiao Fusheng said worriedly. "It also said that Big Daddy and Little Daddy all died because of this..."
Sheng Ning's expression changed slightly.
She had checked the backgrounds of these people and knew they were clean, so it was expected that they would reach the top. However, it was inexplicable that their careers suffered setbacks later, and the reason was actually this.
Tian Zijin had once used a poor excuse to approach her.
What was her thought at that time—to find a place to die.
And now... she didn't want to die at all. She still had some family members whom she wasn't completely familiar with, and she could even experience the fatherly love she had never had before.
These changes only occurred after meeting children.
Both Tian Zijin and Qiao Ge tried to get close to the child.
Sheng Ning quickly reacted: "What does this have to do with you?"
"I don't know." Xiao Fusheng shook her head, indicating that she had thought about it for a long time. "But they said that you failed because you had me by your side. That Uncle Qiao also said that it would be better if I were not there."
She told Sheng Ning everything she heard on the show.
The more Sheng Ning listened, the darker his expression became. The police couldn't find any clues or evidence because it was impossible according to common logic.
But if what Qiao Ge coveted was everyone's luck...
He really wants to gain great fortune from the Sheng family.
So, the fact that no one could do anything to Qiaoge when he was taken to the police station today might also be due to this luck.
But no one would believe this if they told others, just like they would never tell outsiders that the child came from a game.
If the child had not been taught these survival knowledge, and if the child was not so smart, he might have really failed on the show today, and all this could only be classified as an accident, and the program crew would have to take the blame.
"Mom." Little Fusheng also thought of this, "How can Fusheng teach him a lesson?"
Sheng Ning patted her head: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
When it comes to scheming and tactics, many people are good at it.
After putting the child on the bed, Sheng Ning took out his mobile phone and opened the family group.
Ever since those pictures were posted today, it has been quiet. It's obvious that they are angry about dinner. These brothers and sisters are a bit vindictive.
Sheng Ning hesitated before typing, but for some reason, she had a hunch.
Her brothers and sisters will support her.
By the time she came to her senses, she had already typed two words.
Sheng Ning: Is anyone there? [peeks in]
In less than two seconds, the phone started vibrating wildly.
Sheng Shi: Speak!
Sheng Zhi: If you post pictures again, don’t blame me for ignoring the brother-sister relationship we have for just a few days.
Sheng Ning: Regarding today's incident with Qiao Ge, I would like to ask for your advice.
Sheng Huaishen: I knew it was not a simple matter. When will you come to Beicheng?
Sheng Ning: It’s almost done. The program team has temporarily made corrections and can’t continue recording. It’s just that there’s something wrong with Qiao Ge and we can’t find any evidence.
Sheng Hang: What’s the problem?
Sheng Ning: My child has been attracting a lot of attention recently. He might have been targeted by this Qiao Ge. The child vaguely heard him deliberately destroy those signs, but this cannot be used as evidence. Is there any way to catch him in this situation?
Sheng Zhi: He did it on purpose? Targeting a child? This is a matter of life and death!
Sheng Shi: It’s not easy to find evidence against me. Sheng Huaishen, keep a close eye on me until I finish the things I’m doing and come back.
Sheng Hang: Don’t worry, I guarantee it.
Sheng Huaiyu: The bodyguards should not leave your side during this period. They should all stay in the city. I will let Huai Shen keep an eye on the good guys first. He can't do anything big.
How many tricks can he have in competing with the Sheng family?
Sheng Ning put away his phone with peace of mind.
"Mom~" Xiao Fusheng still couldn't fall asleep. She now had a particularly bold idea in her mind, "Are those bad uncles trying to get their luck from me my parents?"
Whether it’s Big Dad or Little Dad, even the current mom is the same.
In her dream, Brother Xiaoshu would also become destitute when he grew up.
Sheng Ning was stunned.
She never thought about why in so many development games, only children would be transported into the games.
The child once said that her parents in her dream were dead. If Kan Qi and the others had not met the child, the result might have been the same. Now the child can still hear the voice of the system.
None of this is a coincidence.
"Maybe," she said. "I'm not entirely sure."
Xiao Fusheng asked again: "Then Mom, do you know who Xu Su is?"
"who?"
"I heard from the system that this person disappeared because of them." Xiao Fusheng's voice was very soft, but his worry could not be hidden. "If she is really my father or mother, then she is also in danger?"
Xiao Fusheng had never seen this person, nor had she ever dreamed of him, and she didn't know whether this person really existed, but she wanted to know.
What if he can be saved?
Sheng Ning didn't say anything.
She had thought about this problem before, whether the child would have other parents in the future. At that time, she was prepared to keep the child by her side, but now.
Xiao Fusheng: "Mom?"
After several seconds, Sheng Ning whispered, "I don't know this person."
"Okay." Little Fusheng was not discouraged, "Fusheng will find her."
Out of the sight of the child, Sheng Ning's eyes grew increasingly complex, and finally, as if in compromise, he said, "I'll help you find it."
Finally, Xiao Fusheng sensitively noticed that his mother was in a low mood.
She raised her head and hugged her mother's arms with her little hands: "Is Mom sad?"
"I won't be sad." Sheng Ning said stubbornly, but still couldn't help asking, "What if you find this person and discover that she is your father or mother?"
Little Fusheng said without hesitation: "Then Fusheng will try harder and take this mother over as well!"
"Which mother do you prefer?"
After asking this question, Sheng Ning felt a little regretful. How could she become such a parent?
"Calculate……"
"I like them all! I like them so much!" Xiao Fusheng didn't notice her hidden meaning, "I like every one of them equally!"
You little liar, if everyone likes it equally, how can there be such a thing as favorability!
Even now, her favorability rating is only 50!
"Just like mom has many brothers and sisters." Xiao Fusheng said, "I think mom would want everyone to be together."
Sheng Ning thought to herself, how could she dare to think about it.
But she really wanted to.
I've already been prepared for this, right? But how long will it take the child to earn her castle?
"Okay, let's go to bed."
After the child fell asleep, Sheng Ning asked Xie Yun to check on Xu Su.
The good thing is that he is a public figure, so many things on the surface are easy to check.
After seeing the pictures sent by Xie Yun, Sheng Ning finally had a realistic sense of what these people would look like after their luck was sucked away.
In the first photos, Xu Su looked bold and clear-headed, confident and proud, and her whole body seemed to be glowing, just like Sheng Zhao, but her eyes were much clearer and more thorough than Sheng Zhao's.
But later, although she was still very beautiful in these pictures, her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light mist. Even if there were other people in the same picture, and they were not as pretty as her, people could not stop looking at them.
No one would like to keep looking at a lifeless person.
Sheng Ning's scalp suddenly felt numb, because she seemed to be looking at her past self through the mirror. Wasn't she also lifeless?
Putting aside the fact that this person might be the child's mother, she now actually felt a sense of pity.
-
Xiao Fusheng, who no longer had to work, was taken back to North City the next day.
The Sheng family has quite a few houses here, but she can't go there this time. She has to rush back to see Brother Xiaoshu. She hasn't seen him for so long, and she doesn't know how Brother Xiaoshu is doing with his studies.
"Your eldest father is still on the crew, and your youngest father is in Haicheng." Sheng Ning, who sent her back, said, "Even if there are people at home to take care of you two children, you can't stay alone."
"But what about Brother Xiaoshu?"
Sheng Ning glanced at the tall, thin and taciturn boy and said, "Take him with you."
"Don't you want to spend more time with Grandpa and Fourth Aunt?" Sheng Zhao assisted from the side, "Fourth Aunt will be going back to work soon."
Yes, Fourth Auntie had to go to work. When she heard that the other uncles were coming, she turned around and asked, "Brother Xiaoshu, would you like to go to my mother's house?"
Xi Shu had already seen all these people clearly.
The people around the child are more powerful than each other, and he is still unarmed. It's terrible.
"The Xi family's child." Sheng Dong was somewhat interested in this child. "I know your mother."
Xi Shu suddenly raised his eyes.
“He’s someone I admire very much.”
When Xi Shu's mother married Xi Yuankai, it caused quite a sensation. Xi Shu's mother was young and courageous, and was also a good hand in business. After the marriage, the two families' businesses flourished. However, his mother later passed away due to illness, and Xi Yuankai himself was not a visionary person.
"The Xi family." Sheng Zhao also realized, "Isn't your father developing overseas recently? Your own child has been away for so long and you didn't even know about it. Is your family going the same way as mine?"
That's not right.
Xi Shu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Xiao Shu's father is no match for Grandpa." Xiao Fusheng took over the topic. "From now on, Xiao Shu will be raised by me. How much does your family need for food?"
There is still money in her piggy bank.
"Children raising children." Sheng Zhao laughed. "Interesting."
She didn't care whose child Xi Shu was. Since her niece wanted a companion, she might as well take him home.
Although I have never done such a thing as kidnapping a child, it is not impossible to do it.
Since the little guy said that, it seems that the Xi family is not a good family. Sheng Zhao nodded and said, "I will talk to the other brothers and ask them to consider your family's cooperation."
After packing up their things and going to the Sheng family's house, Xiao Fusheng worriedly touched Xiao Shu's forehead again and again, and then felt his pulse: "Is Xiao Shu sick? Why aren't you talking?"
"No." Xi Shu smiled lightly, "I'm shy."
Sheng Ning and Sheng Zhao, who were sitting in the front, couldn't help but look back.
This doesn't seem like being shy. Children from such families have seen a lot and know a lot, and are very much like their older brothers when they were young.
Sheng Ning seemed to be lost in thought.
The house in the north city is not very big, but the location is good. In addition, the Sheng family has been there for several generations, so Sheng Dong’s house here is equivalent to having a home in the garden, which is much larger than an ordinary courtyard house.
Xiao Fusheng has become accustomed to the fact that these houses are getting smaller and smaller, and he doesn't care anymore.
She quickly put down her small bag and ran into Xiaoshu's room, holding a small branch she had broken off from the garden: "Brother, take out all your homework and test papers for Fusheng to check."
If you continue to make the same mistake as before, you deserve a slap on the palm!
Xi Shu moved his gaze back from the window and saw her with her hands on her hips, as if she would not let him go. His eyes flashed.
The progress bar of favorability has been stuck there for a long, long time and hasn't changed. What about other people's?
Xi Shu sat down. No matter what kind of environment he was in, he didn't seem to care.
He took out the test papers, but did not hand them to the child immediately. He patted the stool and motioned the child to sit down.
After the child sat down, he looked into his eyes and asked, "Did you have fun?"
"Happy..." Xiao Fusheng said halfway, his face turned stern again, "I'm going to work."
"You've met a lot of people." Xi Shu tidied up her messy hair and said softly, "There are my uncle, my aunt, and my grandfather."
"yes."
"Child."
Xi Shu smiled and said softly, "But you are my only brother."
Little Fusheng didn't understand what he meant, and tilted his head and said, "You are my only brother."
This time Xi Shu didn't say anything.
"Don't change the subject!" Xiao Fusheng said seriously, "I need to check the test paper!"
Xi Shu spread out the papers in front of her and said, "If you get it wrong, you'll get a slap on the palm. If you get it right, will there be a reward?"
Reward.
Xiao Fusheng has never thought about it.
But it’s a good thing that my brother knows how to get rewards, because it shows that he has confidence in his progress!
"What reward do you want, brother?"
"Ask me." Xi Shu propped up his chin, many thoughts turning in his mind, but in the end he suppressed them all and said, "You promised me that I could go to play with you after the exam. Now that you're back early, shouldn't you compensate me with a chance to go out and play?"
Xiao Fusheng, who had been alone in the castle and unable to go anywhere, knew too well what it felt like to be locked up at home, so she went out to work not just to make money, but also to have fun and be happy.
But when she thought about how her brother Xiaoshu had to stay at home when he went to school, just like she did in the past, she felt very empathetic.
"Okay!" Xiao Fusheng nodded, "Even if Brother Xiaoshu has regressed, Fusheng will still take you out to play."
Xi Shu: "It's just the two of us."
Anyway, he can protect his brother. His brother is shy, and Xiao Fusheng can understand: "Yeah!"
"Okay." Xi Shu hooked her little finger, "Let's make a pinky promise."
So this is what the agreement means!
Xiao Fusheng shook his finger: "Promise!"
"Oh, right," Xi Shu said, "Aunt Huanhuan has already agreed with the school that you can start school early next year and go to school with me after the summer vacation."
"Huh?" Xiao Fusheng suddenly became excited. "The one with all the other kids?"
It turns out that what she cared about was that there were a lot of children.
"Yeah." Xi Shu tapped her brow with a pen. "There are a lot of children, but you can only go to and from school with me."
