He Sui immediately exploded. He raised his voice, which was like thunder, and was full of anger: "What are you doing helping her, you're a girl! You're not allowed to go to your aunt's house again."
He Jing knew how worried he was, so she blinked and said in a soft and sweet tone, "Fourth Brother, I'm so tired, are you going to be mean to me again?"
He Sui was speechless, extremely frustrated: "That place is not a good place. Even if we can't provide you with a good life after you come back from the Cheng family, we can't let you go there to suffer."
He Jing blinked again: "Ah... but my aunt gave me money too."
He Sui believed her? He knew exactly what kind of person Qian Lizhen was—a real tightwad. Trying to squeeze money out of her was like hoping to win the lottery and become rich overnight.
He Ning didn't believe it either. You Ruo turned her starry eyes to look at He Chen, who smiled gently: "He Jing might have dried it."
He Sui was stunned. He looked at He Jing with an "Ah!" and stammered, "You really made money?"
He Jing nodded: "Really, two hundred."
He Ning frowned, not thinking this was a good thing.
He Sui's eyes widened, both delighted and sighing: "That's not a loss, but it's best not to go again in the future."
He Jing laughed: "I think it's quite fun."
He Sui was helpless. She really treated the He family's hard life as an experience. Since she wasn't bullied, she could barely accept it. After all, with her brothers around, Qian Lizhen wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
...
The next day, He Jing woke up to find a pair of unfamiliar sneakers in her room. They were pink and white, brand new. She checked the brand and saw that they were from a top-tier domestic brand. The cheapest pair on their official website cost over two hundred yuan.
He Jing was taken aback, put on the shoes, tried them on, and found that the size was just right.
She got up and walked around the room twice. Her feet felt exceptionally comfortable, and the area that had been rubbed raw by her cheap sneakers was no longer rubbed against the surface of her shoes.
So she quickly put on her new shoes and stepped out of the room. The moment she stepped out, she caught He Sui's attention. He Sui asked with a surprised smile, "He Jing, you bought shoes? They're really nice. How much did they cost?"
He Jing smiled and said, "I don't know, my third brother bought it."
He Zhou, who had just finished brushing his teeth and came out of the bathroom, froze, and his expression instantly turned sour.
He Sui almost thought he was hallucinating, and asked again, "Who did you say?"
He Jing said cheerfully, "Third Brother."
Besides He Zhou, who else had more than 50 yuan in spare cash? Knowing that her feet were blistered and that the shoes cost more than 200 yuan, He Zhou even contributed some of his own money, which shows how thoughtful he was.
He Sui looked at He Zhou in disbelief, as if in a dream: "Third Brother, you bought shoes for He Jing?"
He Zhou's face was ashen: "What, is that not allowed?"
"Sure, of course."
He wished there were more people who would dote on He Jing, the more the better.
But why did he suddenly change his mind?
He Jing smiled sweetly at He Zhou: "Thank you, Third Brother. These shoes are very comfortable, I like them very much."
He Zhou's expression softened slightly. He ignored He Jing and went into the kitchen.
He Ning was already in the kitchen.
In the living room, He Jing sat next to He Sui and asked, "Fourth Brother, do Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother often go to Aunt's house to help out?"
He Sui yawned and rolled his eyes: "It's not that the fifth and sixth brothers often go to Aunt's house to help out. It's that the entire He family often goes to Aunt's house to help out, including the eldest brother."
He Jing frowned slightly: "How does Fourth Brother feel?"
He Sui snorted coldly: "What else could it feel like? Of course, I really don't want to go, but there's nothing I can do. Mom always says that my uncle is her only family, but my aunt has never treated us like family at all. In her eyes, we're just a bunch of free laborers. She curses us to death all the time, saying the most awful things she can think of, and she's always complaining to Mom and Dad..."
