Shen Yunsheng inwardly groaned; this old woman was sure to pull another trick.
She decided to listen to what the old woman had to say first.
"Grandma, please speak your mind." Shen Yunsheng spoke with extreme composure.
She's been busy fighting off toxic people lately and hasn't had time to focus on her career. It's time for her to get back to work.
Actually, Granny Yang came to Shen Yunsheng to borrow his electric scooter. Ever since she rode in it last night, she had wanted to keep it for herself.
“Jingchuan’s family, I want to go to Baichuan Academy to see your second uncle. Could you drive me there?”
"You'll have to hire your own car. I don't have time today," Shen Yunsheng politely declined. Even when she didn't have a car, Granny Yang would still go out. Of course, if the old woman was a gentle and unassuming elder, she would be happy to run errands for her.
Xiao Jingchuan, who was standing to the side, also disliked Granny Yang. Some people, even if you don't provoke them, they will provoke you.
It's obvious that Granny Yang is that kind of person.
"If you don't have time, have Chuan'er take me."
Grandma Yang still wouldn't give up. Recently, Shen Yunsheng's electric scooter has become incredibly popular, so she figured she might as well take a ride.
"Grandma, I don't have time either. Why don't you go see Second Uncle another day?" Xiao Jingchuan refused directly. He hadn't been hunting in the mountains for a long time. He would go up the mountain to try his luck after dinner.
Grandma Yang's visit to her second son was just a pretext; she actually wanted the Chu family to see the electric scooter and see if they could sell it for a good price.
Shen Yunsheng and his wife looked at each other, their eyes revealing a hint of doubt.
They all suspected that someone had their eye on that electric car.
Although this vehicle was merely a simple means of transportation, it was an unprecedented novelty for people of that era. Such a rare item naturally attracted the attention and covetousness of others.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunsheng's mood grew even heavier.
Xiao Jingchuan looked at his wife and said softly, "Wife, it seems we've run out of food at home. Why don't we take the old lady to the academy and buy some food to bring back?"
Shen Yunsheng immediately understood her husband's intention and nodded in agreement.
They all knew that Granny Yang might have some kind of scheme, but as long as they remained vigilant, they could handle any situation.
Seeing that Granny Yang hadn't left yet, Xiao Jingchuan said to her, "Grandma, we'll go into town later. I'll let you know when we're ready."
Granny Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling secretly glad that her plan was finally about to come to fruition.
It turned out that several days earlier, Granny Yang had already discussed with the young master of the Chu family that he should experience that magical electric car.
In exchange, if Granny Yang could successfully acquire the car, the young master of the Chu family would use the family's resources to help her second son and eldest grandson. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Granny Yang, and she was determined to persuade Shen Yunsheng to sell the car. Although she might not receive the full proceeds, she could at least get a considerable referral fee.
Thinking of this, Granny Yang couldn't help but reveal a greedy smile.
"I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time packing." Granny Yang said with a forced smile, then turned and went home.
Seeing his wife frown slightly, Xiao Jingchuan gently comforted her, "Don't worry, my wife. Even if this electric scooter falls into the hands of thieves, they won't drive it."
Shen Yunsheng sighed softly, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. I'm worried that if they don't get the electric car, they might harm us."
"Don't worry, my wife. I will protect you." Xiao Jingchuan gently patted Shen Yunsheng's shoulder.
Shen Yunsheng was mainly worried that those people would hurt her husband's family, especially her eldest sister-in-law who had just divorced; she couldn't afford any more trouble.
"Husband, go help make breakfast. I'll go check on Hongxu next door."
After giving some instructions, Shen Yunsheng set off for the next room.
...
As soon as Shen Yunsheng entered Xiao Hongxu's room, she saw Min Xiaoqian tidying up. When she saw Shen Yunsheng, she immediately showed a gentle smile.
"Sister-in-law, I've heard about what happened to my eldest sister. Is she alright?"
"Big sister seems to be in good spirits. Where's Hongxu? Where did he go?" Shen Yunsheng looked around but didn't see Xiao Hongxu, so she asked casually.
“My husband went to the toilet. He’s been quite well-behaved these past few days. Although he still doesn’t talk, he eats on time every time and occasionally helps me with housework.” Min Xiaoqian’s face showed a relieved smile when she talked about Xiao Hongxu.
"That's good. I hope he recovers quickly. By the way, Xiaoqian, did the old lady exhibit any unusual behavior while I was away?"
Shen Yunsheng suddenly asked.
Min Xiaoqian looked up at the window before lowering her voice and saying, "These past few days while you were away, the old lady has been going out every day. I overheard her saying that the young master of the Chu family wanted to buy your electric scooter."
Shen Yunsheng sneered. He and his wife had guessed correctly. This old poisonous woman's true intentions were not what they seemed.
Min Xiaoqian had just mentioned the young master of the Chu family. She vaguely remembered him. His name seemed to be Chu Yunfan, and he studied at the same academy as Xiao Wenkai and his son.
That was the most notorious playboy in Yanzi Town. Many people didn't dare to mess with him. The Chu family was arrogant because they had a concubine named Shufei in their direct lineage. Chu Yunfan, in particular, loved to bully people with his status.
Min Xiaoqian frowned slightly. "Sister-in-law, the young master of the Chu family is a notorious bully. If he really wants to buy your electric scooter, it won't be easy to deal with him."
"Xiaoqian, you don't need to worry. My electric scooter isn't something anyone can covet." Shen Yunsheng became quite relaxed after learning about Granny Yang's plan.
