Chapter 59 Why can’t I fight?
Shen Anan never dreamed that after returning to the Shen family, what greeted her was Wang Sufen's rolling pin.
To be honest, after she walked into the Shen family's gate, she was really shocked when she saw Wang Sufen rushing towards her with a rolling pin raised.
Until Wang Sufen passed her and rushed in front of Shen Yuanhao.
"Shen Yuanhao, are you itchy? I'll loosen up your skin for you!" Wang Sufen said viciously with red eyes, but she didn't swing the rolling pin in her hand for a long time.
Li Cui'er, who was standing next to her, quickly hugged Wang Sufen's waist. Shen An'an also reacted and quickly grabbed her mother's hand, trying to take the rolling pin down.
"Mom, why are you like this? My fifth brother and I just came in and you're going to treat us to fried bamboo shoots and meat?" Shen An'an made a joke, but because Wang Sufen held it tightly, he couldn't take the rolling pin down.
Wang Sufen stared at her emaciated son without blinking. Her eyes were getting redder and redder, but she still waved the rolling pin in her hand and said stubbornly, "My own son can be beaten by others, so why can't I be beaten?"
Seeing his familiar relatives, Shen Yuanhao's long-hidden emotions burst out. He knelt on the ground with a plop and hugged Wang Sufen's legs: "Mom, I'm sorry."
Wang Sufen felt the wetness on her legs, and her hands couldn't help but relax, and Shen Anan took the opportunity to take the rolling pin down.
Wang Sufen couldn't hold back her tears and patted Shen Yuanhao on the back, "You, you are stupid! I raised you to this size for nothing. If someone bullies you, can't you fight back?"
"Or you can just come back home. Will your family still ignore you? You, you..."
Wang Sufen couldn't control herself halfway through her speech, so she squatted on the ground, hugged Shen Yuanhao and started crying. Other people in the family also wiped their tears silently.
It was Shen Laiyou who came to his senses first, "Old woman, let them in first and make some food for the children."
"I'll go now, An An, you guys go sit in the main room first, it'll be quick." Zhou Ping said as she walked towards the kitchen, and Li Cui'er also hurried to help when she saw her.
When the whole family sat in the main room, Wang Sufen was still angry. She only talked to Shen Anan and didn't even look at Shen Yuanhao.
Shen Anan received the look of help from the fifth brother, shrugged and gave him a helpless look.
Shen Yuanhao remembered something and took out a big handful of money from the innermost pocket of his clothes. He handed it to Wang Sufen attentively: "Mom, this is my compensation and tuition. An An also has some money from selling her job. I'll give it to you and Dad."
Wang Sufen turned her head away and ignored him.
Shen Anan pulled Wang Sufen's sleeve and said, "Mom, Fifth Brother knows he is wrong. Otherwise, you can punish him by not letting him eat for a while!"
Wang Sufen reflexively retorted: "He is as thin as a stick. If he still doesn't eat, I am afraid I will send him to the west..."
Halfway through her speech, she saw Shen Anan's smiling eyes, and her tense mood suddenly deflated. She said to Shen Yuanhao unhappily: "Money, money, money, which is more important, life or money!"
Shen Yuanhao breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the big unity directly into his mother's hands: "Mom, you take it. My tuition was also raised by the whole family. Now my family needs to build a house, and there are still many places to spend money."
Shen Anan also pushed a roll of Great Unity over, “And these are the money that Fifth Brother earned from selling his job.”
Shen Yuanhao widened his eyes in surprise. Wasn’t the money almost spent in the Supply and Marketing Building?
Shen Anan ignored the look in her fifth brother's eyes and stuffed the money into Wang Sufen's pocket.
Wang Sufen thought for a moment and said, "Old Fifth, this tuition fee was raised by our family, so I will accept it."
"As for the nutrition fee and the money from selling your work, they are all compensation for your suffering. They are definitely yours."
Shen Yuanhao was anxious: "But..."
Wang Sufen didn't wait for him to finish and continued, "But now your eldest brother and his family don't have enough money to build a house. After all, we are a family and we still need to help each other. I will lend them 100 yuan each from your money and ask them to pay you back later. Is that okay with you?"
How could Shen Yuanhao not agree? He nodded repeatedly: "No need, just give it to my brother and the others directly, no need to pay it back."
Wang Sufen ignored him and asked Shen Yuancheng and Shen Yuanxing directly. After receiving affirmative responses from the two, she decided the matter.
Listening to her mother explaining the division of the family in a few words, Shen Anan asked curiously: "Mom, did you receive the reply from my third brother?"
"I got it. He said he would listen to me and your father. He also sent two hundred dollars in the letter for his family to use to repair the house."
Shen Anan saw that Wang Sufen was a little upset: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the third brother?"
Wang Sufen sighed: "Oh, nothing much, just that I'm busy this year and can't come back."
Shen Anan was silent when he heard this. Shen Yuanjun was a navy officer and was stationed near South Island all year round. Including this year, he had not been home for four years.
"Mom, it's okay. If Third Brother can't come back, we can go to South Island to see him."
Wang Sufen shook her head. It was not that easy. The distance was thousands of kilometers.
As they were talking, Li Cui'er and Zhou Ping came in with food and invited the brother and sister to eat.
After Shen Anan finished eating, Shen Yuanxing, who had been holding back for a long time, finally found an opportunity to speak: “Anan, my brother said that you want to open a brick factory in our brigade, is it true?”
The other members of the Shen family also looked over with burning eyes, and even Shen Laiyou, who was smoking a pipe silently at the side, pricked up his ears.
“Second brother, it’s not me who wants to open a factory, it’s our brigade that’s opening a brick factory.” Shen Anan emphasized.
Unless her brain suddenly broke down, it would be impossible for her to do business at this time.
Moreover, it is difficult for private individuals to go through the formalities to set up a factory now. Only by setting up a factory in the name of the brigade can we get the support of the commune.
Shen Yuanxing had a complicated expression, somewhat excited and hesitant: "An An, do you think our brigade can run a factory? We don't know how to do it."
Since Shen Yuancheng came back and told him about An An's idea of setting up a factory, he has been thinking about it these days. The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks it is feasible. However, there are still many unclear questions, so he has been looking forward to his younger sister coming back to ask some questions.
If building a factory can improve the brigade's income, every household will be able to get more money during the New Year, so they won't have trouble even having a full meal.
Shen Anan said confidently: "It will definitely work. I accidentally got a recipe for making red bricks before, and I also invited a retired master craftsman from the county brick factory to give me guidance. There is no need to worry about the technology."
Shen Yuanxing rubbed his hands excitedly: "This, this is really great."
After transferring back from the county today, Shen Anan also felt a little tired.
Moreover, the construction of the factory must be discussed with other cadres of the brigade, so Shen Anan and his second brother agreed to go to the brigade headquarters tomorrow to discuss the brick factory in detail, and then went back to the room to rest early.
