Sheng Ping was also stunned.
"Three hundred yuan! She's gone mad!"
"She just looks down on her own family. Dad, if it weren't for you, would she be where she is today? This bitch is ungrateful." A venomous glint flashed in Sheng Muchen's eyes as he cursed through gritted teeth.
Sheng Ping frowned: "Does your uncle know about this?"
"If my uncle knew, would he still be able to stay calm at home?" Sheng Muchen said maliciously. "It's also possible that he already knew about this. That bitch Sheng Qian probably told them a long time ago, and she might have secretly slipped money to them behind their backs."
Sheng Ping thought it was impossible.
Given Sheng Qian's attitude towards Sheng Li and the others, she would never secretly give money to Sheng Li.
Sheng Ping's eyes flickered, and he said, "I'll go ask your uncle."
Sheng Muchen followed up, saying, "Dad, I'll go with you."

Meanwhile, Sheng Li and Luo Minjuan were frantically searching for Sheng Guanhua in the village.
Just before lunch, Sheng Guanhua suddenly said he was going out to play for a while and told them to call him after lunch.
Less than twenty minutes later, the person disappeared.
Sheng Guanhua walked out of Wutong Village.
After finally arriving at the entrance to the mountain, we saw many vehicles and workers coming and going.
Those wheelbarrows and metal carts that were hauled out were made with the help of Ju Baifeng by Sheng Qian. It took a lot of effort to transport them here.
For safety reasons, Sheng Qian also had people guarding the entrance and exit of the mountain.
A few days ago, Sheng Qiande personally went into the mountains to provide guidance.
I'm worried that something might happen right after we start work.
"Sheng Qian, there's someone outside who claims to be your younger brother looking for you."
Hearing the voice behind her, Sheng Qian took off her helmet and slid down the muddy slope: "Who's looking for me?"
"He said he was your brother."
Sheng Qian knew who it was as soon as she heard it.
Besides Sheng Guanhua, there is no one else who can claim to be her younger brother.
When Sheng Qian came out of the mountains, she was covered in mud and coal dust, and her fair face was also stained black. When Sheng Guanhua saw her, he almost didn't recognize her. "Sister."
"Why are you here? This is dangerous. Let's talk outside."
Sheng Guanhua followed beside her, saying as they walked, "Sister, why are you working with everyone else too?"
"Do you think being my boss is easy? It's just the beginning, I have to oversee things," Sheng Qian said, taking off her gloves covered in coal dust. "Why are you here? Are you alone?"
"After hearing about what happened to you, I've been wanting to come out and see for myself, but my parents are very strict, so I could only sneak out. Sister, I can help you too, as long as you need me here!" Sheng Guanhua had absolute support for Sheng Qian.
Sheng Qian looked at Sheng Guanhua, who had bright, dark eyes, and spoke from the heart. She patted his head and said, "I don't need child labor here. Your main goal right now is to study. As long as you can study, go for it. Even if you go to graduate school, I can support you. Don't think about running out to work early. There's no good in it."
"Sister, I don't want to study."
Sheng Guanhua was slapped on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Others don't have the conditions but still work their butts off to get into good schools. And you, you can study but don't? Is being illiterate something to be proud of? Decades later, without a diploma, you won't even get a good job. Strive to get into a good university. If you can bring honor to the country in the future, then do so. If you can't, then at least don't hold the country back. Do you understand?"
"Sister, what does this have to do with winning glory for the country?" Sheng Guanhua said, somewhat unconvinced.
Why can the older sister run a business, but he can't?
Sheng Qian stared at him: "If you can't study well and can't earn money, will you have to rely on the country to support you when you're old? Isn't that just holding us back? Okay, I don't have time to spend with you. I'll talk to you again after things settle down here. Go back now. Come on, I'll see you out."
Sheng Guanhua was forcibly sent away.
When she left, Sheng Qian slipped him fifty yuan.
Sheng Guanhua couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it.
After walking quite a distance, Sheng Guanhua turned his head to look at the entrance to the mountain, clutching the fifty yuan in his hand tightly.
He secretly vowed in his heart that when he grew up, he would make a lot of money so that his sister would not have to suffer or rely on other men for a living.
Sheng Qian quickly made her coal mining business a success, attracting the envy of many.
Sheng Qian ignored all those who were jealous.
Especially when she got home, and her neighbor came over with a forced, mocking smile, Sheng Qian gave a nonchalant reply that left the other person speechless and turning pale.
Over time, everyone in the neighborhood came to know how sharp-tongued Sheng Qian was.
Few people dared to provoke Sheng Qian anymore.
But the discussions behind the scenes are growing.
There are people like this in every era; they just want to see others doing well.
I wish I could trample you to death.
Sheng Qian was exhausted after a long day, and it was already past 11 p.m. when she finally got some rest.
They didn't have time to listen to the rumors circulating in town.
Only when the first batch of coal was shipped out did Sheng Qian feel that she had accomplished something.
Zhao Niangen also followed Sheng Qian to learn about mechanical issues. Forced to face various problems, Zhao Niangen was no longer as silent as before, and his personality became more cheerful.
Zhang Shunlin was also surprised by Zhao Niangen's change.
Even he himself has changed a lot in the county town.
Facing different people every day and having to rack their brains to think about things they would never have thought about before, they themselves undergo a lot of changes over time.
With the previous group of people digging in the mountains, it was easier for those who came later to develop the area.
The muddy roads weren't wide enough, so the trucks they used to haul coal were just slightly larger than the tricycles of later generations—wooden carts with welded steel bottoms and engines, and the tops were all made of wooden planks.
