Chapter 30 Li Cui'er's Speculation
"You're finally back! Your eldest brother is so anxious that he wants to go to town to look for you two."
Zhou Ping opened the door and saw the people outside. She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly made way, and called for Shen Anan and his sister to come in.
"Chen Anan, next time you come back so late, you are not allowed to go to town alone!" Wang Sufen rarely spoke to her daughter in a harsh voice. This was the first time that Shen Anan came home so late, and the whole family was very worried.
"I'm sorry for making everyone worry. I definitely won't do that again. This time it was just an accident!" Shen Anan quickly threw herself into Wang Sufen's arms and acted coquettishly.
"Accident? What accident?" Wang Sufen was shocked. She quickly dug her daughter out of her arms and looked her up and down.
"It wasn't me! It was Sixth Brother who had an accident."
After Shen Yuanjia told the whole family what the Wu mother and daughter had just done, the Shen family was also filled with fear.
"Is Zhu Mingzhu crazy? Last time Matchmaker Qian came to talk about marriage, I clearly rejected her, but she still insisted on relying on Laoliu. How shameless." Wang Sufen said indignantly.
"And Wu Lanxiang is also confused. Is there any mother like her?"
"Mom, the last time Matchmaker Qian came to propose marriage, it was Zhu Mingzhu?" Shen Anan didn't know this.
"Yes, Zhu Mingzhu has really been spoiled by Wu Lanxiang and her husband!"
Wang Sufen changed the subject and complained to Shen Laiyou angrily: "How dare Shen Ligen falsely accuse my son? How can he be such an elder!"
Shen Laiyou was also very angry. Although Shen Ligen's family and they were distant relatives many generations apart, he had helped them a lot before for the sake of their relationship.
As for the embarrassing incident of Shen Youqing peeping at people taking a bath two years ago, if it weren't for Shen Yuanxing's help, he would have been taken to a farm for reform long ago.
"Let's just pretend that we don't have this relative anymore. Second brother, you don't have to take care of them anymore." Shen Laiyou warned the Shen brothers with a dark face.
Shen Youqing was a lazy hoodlum who hung out with the second-rate guys from other villages all day long and earned only a few work points throughout the year.
After all, Shen Ligen and his wife are old and have difficulty doing farm work. If Shen Yuanxing had not arranged some easy work for them, the family would have starved to death in the disaster year.
He still has the energy to do things, but in the final analysis, it’s because he’s eaten too much and has too much free time!
"Dad, I understand. Don't be angry." Shen Yuanxing agreed readily.
As they were talking, Mrs. Shen came over from the kitchen carrying two bowls of dumplings.
"An An, Sixth Brother, come and eat! You must be starving!"
The family now has food and meat that Shen Anan often brings back, as well as the dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat that they got last time. Wang Sufen has also become generous, and the whole family can have a good meal from time to time.
The dumpling skin in the bowl was a little yellowish, and it was obvious that it was made with flour ground at home. Because the flour was mixed with bran, the taste was not as good as the rich flour that Shen Anan brought back, but the combination with the delicious wild vegetable and meat filling made Shen Anan squint his eyes in satisfaction.
Mrs. Shen hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I think it's a bit unusual that the educated youth Duan came to An An after knowing about Lao Liu. Logically speaking, he shouldn't come to a little girl like An An for such a matter."
As a woman, Second Sister Shen was naturally much more sensitive to matters between men and women. Although it was just a guess, she hesitated for a long time and finally said it out. In the end, she was still afraid that her sister-in-law would not see through it and suffer.
An An is just a teenage girl. Duan Hongzhe discovered Wu Lanxiang's plan and it would be safer to find anyone in the Shen family than An An, but he stopped his sister-in-law.
Shen Yuanxing sneered: "That boy is not an easy person to deal with. It hasn't been long since he hooked up with many girls who gave him gifts, especially Wang Pan'er, who waits at the entrance of the educated youth center every day."
Shen Yuanxing warned: "An'an, you must not be fooled by that boy. He is not a quiet person at first glance."
Shen Anan nodded in agreement: "Got it, second brother."
For the sake of her own leisurely life, she will stay away from the male and female protagonists.
The Shen family are all smart people, and they had advised the original owner to stay away from Duan Hongzhe many times in the previous life.
Only the original owner couldn't see Duan Hongzhe's true face, and she just kept chasing after him. In the end, it was only after the original owner threatened to die that the Shen family agreed to let the original owner and Duan Hongzhe be together.
"Hmph, that boy looks like he's attracting many women, and he still wants to eat swan flesh. He's dreaming!" Wang Sufen looked down on people who plotted against her own daughter.
Chen Laiyou thought for a moment and said, "Sixth Brother, although Duan Hongzhe has some bad intentions, he helped you this time after all. Bring some things to the educated youth site tomorrow and don't let outsiders pick our gifts."
"Okay, Dad, don't worry." Shen Yuanjia swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and responded vaguely.
Shen Yuanxing thought for a moment and said, "Dad, why don't I go and teach that kid a lesson so he won't find excuses to get in front of An An next time."
Shen Yuanxing thought that after all, he was the village chief and was in charge of these educated youth. If he came forward, Duan Hongzhe would always be a little wary.
"That's fine. You guys decide."
"There is only one thing. If you brothers can't even protect your sisters, dad will not forgive you." Chen Laiyou warned his sons. After all, he and Wang Sufen were old, and they would have to rely on their sons to protect their little sisters.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't forgive anyone who bullies An An." Shen Yuancheng patted his chest and made the promise, shaking his sandbag-sized fist.
"And what about us? We will protect my aunt too!"
"Yes, and us too!"
Shen Yulin and Shen Yubo next to them also shook their little fists. Even Shen Yurong, who was only three years old, waved his hands ignorantly, making everyone in the room laugh.
"Daddy really loves me the most! Next time I go to town, I'll buy him some wine." Shen Anan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being dad's good daughter." Shen Laiyou smiled. He liked to have a drink when he had nothing to do. He didn't expect that his daughter still thought about him.
Wang Sufen said sourly, "Oh, I know your father and mother don't love you?"
"And you, an old man, are you ashamed to let your daughter buy you some wine?"
"How can that be possible? I am my parents' most beloved baby~!"
"I just want to honor my parents. Not only will I buy wine for my father, but I'll also buy some vanishing cream for my mother!"
Shen Anan came up to Wang Sufen and acted coquettishly, holding Wang Sufen's arm and rubbing against her body. Wang Sufen's pretending to be tense was suddenly broken.
"You, you only know how to say nice things to please others..."
"No way, I'm telling the truth, it's more real than gold!"
Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Anan with some admiration. No wonder her parents-in-law doted on their little girl so much. Anan's skill in coaxing people was first-rate.
If she had the ability of her sister-in-law, she would not have been treated as a workhorse in her parents' home.
