Shen Yunsheng and her husband exchanged a glance, a sly glint in their eyes.
After a brief pause, Shen Yunsheng looked up at Xiao Zhenzhu and said, "Little Zhenzhu, to be honest, your brother Jingchuan and I don't plan to let your uncle continue logging. As you know, he only earns five hundred coins a month, which isn't even enough for your second uncle's expenses!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenzhu's expression changed slightly, and a surge of anger welled up in her heart.
She hadn't expected that her casual remark would lead Shen Yunsheng to drag her father into the mess without any hesitation. Wasn't this clearly an attempt to embarrass her?
Granny Yang gritted her teeth inwardly, but she couldn't show it, since it was a fact that her eldest son was supporting her second son's education.
Xiao Zhenzhu suppressed her dissatisfaction and forced a smile, saying in a relaxed manner, "Oh, I see... However, my uncle is getting old and probably can't do anything else."
Shen Yunsheng noticed Xiao Zhenzhu's displeasure, but she didn't care. She deliberately sighed and said helplessly, "Alas, we have no choice. The household expenses are getting higher and higher, and we really can't afford to support someone who is not working."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Zhenzhu and Granny Yang, as if to suggest that they should stop scheming.
Xiao Zhenzhu understood the deeper meaning in Shen Yunsheng's words, and her anger grew even stronger. However, she knew she couldn't afford to antagonize Shen Yunsheng at this time, so she could only silently endure it. She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Then what do you plan to do? You can't just leave my uncle idle, can you?"
Shen Yunsheng smiled slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes. She had long anticipated that Xiao Zhenzhu would ask this question, so she seized the opportunity to bring up her plan: "Actually, I want to bring my father along to do business. He's getting old, and your second brother and I are worried about him traveling alone. It's better for him to stay at home!"
After speaking, Shen Yunsheng deliberately observed Xiao Zhenzhu's reaction, wanting to see what she would say next.
Xiao Zhenzhu frowned and fell into deep thought.
She knew in her heart that if her uncle didn't go logging, her father would lose an income, and perhaps the eldest branch of the family would no longer help them in the future.
Shen Yunsheng looked troubled again. "Pearl, I'm so sorry! My father can no longer support Second Uncle's studies. I'll have to trouble you to tell him."
Xiao Zhenzhu's face was extremely ugly. Just as she was about to speak, Granny Yang coldly scolded, "Jingchuan's wife, you're getting more and more outrageous. If you don't want to go shopping, fine, but don't make excuses."
