When Shen Ai Qiu returned home, he saw his parents and younger brother sitting in the yard eating happily, as if there were only three of them in the family.

I am redundant.

For so long, they haven't even thought about going to find her and taking her back.

Her eyes turned red with grievance.

When Li Chunlan saw Shen Aiqiu standing at the door, she paused while picking up food for Shen Xiaojie. She felt a little embarrassed and a little surprised.

Because once she got busy, she forgot about Shen Ai Qiu.

"Hey, Xiaoqiu, why are you back? Go wash your hands and eat, serve yourself."

Shen Ai Qiu went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rice without saying a word, then returned to his seat, picked up the food and ate without saying a word.

She had been in the police station for so long and was still hungry. She wanted to eat two pieces of meat, but as soon as she picked up some with her chopsticks, they were knocked away by another pair of chopsticks.

"Shen Xiaojie, what are you doing!"

When Shen Ai Qiu saw that it was her own brother, she couldn't help but get angry and yelled at Shen Xiaojie, but the instigator thought she was making a fuss out of nothing.

"You can't hold it steady and you blame me. I want to eat meat, too. I heard from mom that you don't do any work at home all day long, and dad and I work so hard outside to make money. What's wrong with coming home and having two more pieces of meat?"

Obviously, Shen Xiaojie didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior, and even felt that he was the superior in the family.

Shen Ai Qiu was angry. What did she mean by she didn't do any work?

"Shen Xiaojie, what nonsense are you talking about? I am concentrating on studying and preparing for the college entrance examination. I want to go to a big city and have a great future. Do you understand?"

The way Shen Ai Qiu looked at Shen Xiaojie was as if he was looking at a country bumpkin with no future at all, which made Shen Xiaojie very angry.

"Dad, Mom, I won't go out to work anymore. I want to study too. I don't believe I can do worse than a woman. If Shen Ai Qiu can get into college and go to a big city, so can I!"

Shen Ai Qiu took this opportunity to pick up a piece of meat and put it into the bowl.

"Tsk, you've never liked studying since you were a child. Even if you take the exam, you don't know how many years you have to study before you can take the college entrance examination."

"That's enough! You start making a scene as soon as you get back. You might as well stay in the police station!"

Shen Ai Qiu's father, Shen Jianjun, slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table. Shen Xiaojie and Shen Ai Qiu fell silent instantly and no one dared to make a noise anymore.

"What's wrong with your brother wanting to study? Why do you have to discourage him? If our Shen family can produce a college student, it would really be the good deeds of our ancestors. It's a great thing. You, on the other hand, don't even hope for the good of your own brother."

"So, Dad, since you knew your daughter was still at the police station, why didn't you pick me up and even have dinner with me?"

Shen Jianjun glared at her, very dissatisfied with his daughter's defiance.

"Is this the reason why you come back with a sullen face, acting like someone owes you 200 yuan, snatching meat from your brother at the dinner table, and undermining your brother's self-confidence?"

"I don't!"

"Still talking back! It seems that you have forgotten the rules of your home during the two months I was away from home. You even dare to talk back to your biological parents. Is this what you learned in school?"

Having said that, he looked at Li Chunlan again.

"You've spoiled her. Look, is she still obedient? She's exactly like the previous Shen Zhizhu."

"What do you mean I'm the same as Shen Zhizhu? That's not what you said before. You said I'm well-behaved, sensible, smart and capable, a thousand times or ten thousand times better than Shen Zhizhu. Why are you saying I'm the same as her now?"

Shen Ai Qiu could tolerate other grievances, but she could not accept being told that she was the same as Shen Zhizhu.

Shen Jianjun didn't expect that Shen Aiqiu would dare to talk back, so he just picked up the chopsticks in his hand and threw them at her.

"I'm giving you face, but you keep contradicting me!"

The fall was quite forceful and hit Shen Ai Qiu's face, leaving an instant red mark.

Shen Ai Qiu burst into tears. She did know that Du Zai De had defrauded everyone of their money, but Du Zai De and the others didn't know that she knew about it. When she was at the police station, she just said that she didn't know.

In addition, Du Zai De and Du Manjun had no idea that she knew about this, so she was naturally fine in the end.

But even so, she felt it was extremely embarrassing to have spent a whole night in the police station. Not only did her parents not pick her up and forget about her, but she also walked back by herself and was scolded at the dinner table.

She really felt wronged, or maybe it was the pain of the red marks on her face that made her cry.

After all, Li Chunlan truly doted on Shen Aiqiu and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but was interrupted by Shen Xiaojie.

"Mom, look at my sister. She said that my studies are useless."

Shen Xiaojie held Li Chunlan's hand, and his voice was actually coquettish, but Li Chunlan was the most susceptible to this and was instantly attracted to his attention.

Compared to a son, no matter how much you like your daughter, she has to stay aside.

She touched the head of Shen Xiaojie, who was as tall as her, and comforted him softly.

"How could that be? Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. Our Xiaojie will be a man of great achievements in the future. Not only will he be able to get into university, but he will also be able to marry a beautiful wife from a big city."

Shen Xiaojie originally just wanted to respond to Shen Aiqiu, but after hearing what Li Chunlan said, he felt moved.

"Mom, I must go to college and marry a beautiful wife from a big city."

Shen Jianjun frowned.

"Marrying a woman from a big city will cost a lot of money for the bride price."

She didn't even think about whether a man like Shen Xiaojie could get into university and go to a big city, or whether there were any girls in big cities who would be attracted to him and want to marry him.

Shen Ai Qiu watched from the side and rolled her eyes. She really didn't know where Shen Xiaojie got such confidence from.

Li Chunlan doesn't think that her son is unworthy of the girls in big cities.

"The betrothal gift from the last time I married that ungrateful Shen Zhizhu is over 400 yuan. If we save some of it, it will be enough for Xiaojie to go to college and get married. If that little bitch Shen Zhizhu is willing to give us the house deed, then we won't have to worry about it. We can just sell your brother's house and it will be enough for us to spend for a few years."

"Four hundred! Only four hundred is left out of the six hundred yuan betrothal gift? Mom, how do you usually spend it at home? You've spent almost half of it!"

Shen Xiaojie was very surprised. That was a full six hundred yuan. He spent two hundred yuan in two months. It was too exaggerated.

However, Shen Ai Qiu noticed something else.

Property deed?

Although Shen Ai Qiu didn't think that Shen Xiaojie could marry a beautiful wife, if he could get the house deed, he would at least have a share of it.

She was thinking.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, after we get the title deed, we can sell the house and save Xiaojie a lot of money. By then, all the rich ladies in big cities will line up to marry Xiaojie. Then you two can also benefit from it and live in a big villa with a special driver driving a luxury car to pick you up. How comfortable it will be."
