"Don't worry, I will never be cheated. Speaking of which, I have to thank Shi Yi for giving me this opportunity." Shen Shuhua turned his head and looked at Shen Shiyi with gratitude in his eyes.
When Shi Yi was young, her sister gave him to a family in the next village because of poverty. However, that family treated Shi Yi very badly.
When my parents heard about it, they felt very sorry for her and spent some money to buy her back and raise her. At that time, I was not married yet and I always treated Shi Yi as my own daughter.
Later, Shi Yi worked hard and achieved good academic results, excelling in all subjects.
"You mean Shen Shiyi can get Yingying into AN School? Haha, stop being so funny, how could she have such ability?" Mrs. Shen couldn't help laughing.
"Sister, how can you look down on a child like this? Shi Yi is very hardworking and not as bad as you think." Shu Hua felt uncomfortable with her sister's attitude.
It’s bad enough that her sister is usually mean and sarcastic to her daughter Yingying, who is still young and can’t understand. But Shiyi is a grown-up and has the ability to understand.
These words made Shi Yi feel so uncomfortable.
"Okay, she has some fortune-telling skills, but that's not enough for her to get your Yingying into AN School. Shuhua, you're still so naive."
Madam Shen shook her head, the contempt in her eyes was particularly obvious. Her sister's arrogant look now was exactly the same as when she looked down on the blind date in the village.
Later, the man she married became rich in business, while my sister married a man from another place when she was in her thirties and lived in my mother's house like a gigolo.
"How could it be false if the principal of AN School promised it himself?"
Shen Shuhua was also very angry at her sister's behavior, so she didn't even bother to come up with some false things.
"How is that possible? Do you think your Yingying is a genius, or that Shen Shiyi is a big shot?" Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes.
She was a little annoyed talking to her sister here. Why was she so stupid? It was like she didn't understand what people were saying.
"...Yingying is only in kindergarten, so it's not clear yet. Anyway, you don't have to worry about school matters."
Shen Shuhua was too lazy to continue, she could tell that her sister just felt that their family would have no future without the help of her brother-in-law.
"Okay, then I have to make it clear to you in advance. If you wait until school starts, your brother-in-law might not be able to get you, Jia Yingying, into a good school."
Mrs. Shen was too lazy to continue asking questions. Her sister was now foolishly thinking that Yingying could get into AN School, so she went to give it a try. In the end, she would still need their help.
“Well, I don’t need your help with the kindergarten.” Shen Shuhua suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
She didn't plan to stay at her sister's house for long and planned to go out and look for a house in a couple of days.
Shen Huai was made even more uncomfortable by the weird atmosphere of the two adults. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Shiyi and found that the other party was as steady as an old dog.
It was like... she wasn't surprised at all that her mom and aunt were arguing like this.
Shen Shiyi really didn't find it strange, because she had seen many conversations between Mrs. Shen and her aunt during phone and video calls, and she knew it roughly.
Mrs. Shen has always been such a person who looks down on others.
In the evening, when the family sat together for dinner, Mr. Shen felt that it was much easier for his sister to find a kindergarten because he didn't need his help.
Shen Huai did not forget his important matter. He suddenly said, "Dad, isn't our family in the catering business? Wouldn't it be better to just buy the goods from my uncle? Let our family make the money."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became a little weird.
Father Shen and Madam Shen were silent for a long time, and they looked at each other.
In the end, it was Shen Shuhua who stepped forward to break the weird atmosphere. "It's okay, your uncle can just work in his hometown."
"Yes, my brother-in-law is now living in a stable family. If he comes here rashly, everything will be uncertain. If he is doing well in his hometown, he should not move." Father Shen agreed politely.
"It's not that we don't want to give my uncle a chance, it's just that...the Shen family's restaurants are all high-end, and my uncle's tableware is a bit rustic."
Mrs. Shen was more direct in her words. She had always looked down upon her brother-in-law and his family's tableware with a mountain and forest painting style. These days, they all used big brands.
Not only are big brands guaranteed, but just the logo alone will make customers feel that the restaurant is tasteful.
Shen Huai paused in picking up the meat. He didn't seem to expect that his mother, who always cared about his sister's grandmother, would say such a thing.
"It's okay. If the style doesn't match, just look at other restaurants to see if they need it."
Shen Shiyi chuckled and comforted her aunt. She had recently been paying attention to which families needed tableware.
"Yes, I think so too." Shen Shuhua looked at her niece with a smile.
She now has a strong psychological tolerance for harsh words spoken to her sister and brother-in-law.
Anyway, in the eyes of my sister and brother-in-law, whatever their family does is bad and impossible.
Everyone was very embarrassed during the meal, and Shen Shuhua planned to go out and look for a house the next morning.
"Shuhua, I've arranged a guest room for you and Yingying. Go take a look. If you need anything, you can wear my clothes. I'm a little thinner than you, but you should be able to fit in if you squeeze a little."
Mrs. Shen said as she was about to take her upstairs to see the room.
"Aunt, I'm planning to go back to my place. Do you and Yingying want to come over?"
Shen Shiyi suddenly asked from the back, causing everyone in the living room to fall silent.
Mrs. Shen was the first to speak: "You don't even have much money to rent such a bad house, so don't take your aunt and others there to suffer."
"It's not rented, and the house is still okay." Shen Shiyi explained softly.
The villa she lives in here is indeed not as good as the one with sea view.
But the sea view apartment is far away and the journey is longer, which will be inconvenient for my aunt to take Yingying to school in the future.
"Then I'll go live with Shi Yi." Although Shen Shuhua didn't know what Shi Yi's house was like, it was better than being bullied by her sister.
"You... you have a nice villa but you choose to live in a lousy one..."
"It doesn't matter. We came from poverty before, and we've lived in all kinds of houses."
Shen Shuhua didn't care. She held Yingying and followed Shen Shiyi.
"Aunt, you..." Shen Huai originally thought that after his aunt came over, he would be able to live in the same home with Shen Shiyi, and he would have more opportunities to apologize.
But he never expected that Shen Shiyi actually planned to take his aunt to live outside.
"Forget it, leave them alone. It's summer now. Let's see how they survive without air conditioning."
Mrs. Shen was actually looking forward to her arrogant sister coming back humbly to ask for help. The saying that things change over time was absolutely true.
She is no longer the same person who was worse off than before.
"What if my aunt and the others don't come back?" Shen Huai still felt uneasy.
