"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."

The three of them imagined the future according to what Shen Ai Qiu had described, but their knowledge was limited and they couldn't imagine how luxurious the luxury cars would be. They could only imagine what the most expensive car they had ever seen looked like, and then have someone pick them up.

It’s beautiful just to think about it.

This description of the scene made Shen Xiaojie more determined to go to school and take the college entrance examination.

"Xiaojie has never learned much knowledge since he was young, but he is a smart child. As long as he works hard, one or two years will definitely be enough for him, while others need four or five years. But my daughter is different. She has always been following Du Manjun to learn things. Even the teachers at school praise my daughter for her strong learning ability and rapid progress, and say that she can try for this year's college entrance examination."

This sentence attracted the attention of Shen Jianguo and Li Chunlan.

"You've studied for so long, it's what you deserve."

Li Jianguo said so.

There was no praise as she had imagined. Shen Ai Qiu had gotten used to it. Her father would only praise his younger brother, and would always lecture her on some profound truths every three sentences.

"Here's what I was thinking. Let my daughter go and scout out the way for my brother first. Now she can find a rich man in a big city. If my brother wants to buy a house, a car, or get married, I can help him out, right?"

Only then did Li Jianguo nod with satisfaction.

"It would have been great if you had done this earlier. I've told you that men are the backbone of the family. As long as your brother is well, our family will be well. You did the right thing by paving the way for your brother."

"It's just that how could they, the people from the big city, play with a country girl like my daughter? So my daughter needs her parents to support her financially. Once she makes friends with them, she will be able to conquer the young masters of wealthy families with her charm."

Shen Xiaojie screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Well, you actually want to take our family's money. You really have bad intentions!"

Although his parents are in good health, Shen Xiaojie has been instilled with the idea that everything in the family will be his, including the family's money and the house title that he has not yet received.

How could he, who was used to being selfish, agree to let Shen Ai Qiu spend his own money?

"That's not the way to say it. I'll go explore the way for you first. If you find a rich man and get the money, won't it be yours in the future? You have a rich and powerful brother-in-law, so it will be much easier for you to do anything. By then, you can find any beautiful bride, right?"

Shen Ai Qiu coaxed Shen Xiaojie in a low voice. She knew that this idiot would fall into the trap and agree.

"Okay, since what you said makes some sense, I agree."

Shen Ai Qiu sneered in his heart, what a fool he really is.

Seeing that his son had agreed, Shen Jianjun didn't say anything more, so he asked about the situation of the house deed.

It would be fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as she talked about it, Li Chunlan got angry.

"That little bitch has changed since she got married. She used to be submissive at home and listened to everything she said, but now she has become fierce and she is holding on to the house deed and won't let go. If anyone asks for it again, she will pick up the axe and chop them down."

Li Chunlan usually throws a tantrum just to act like a scoundrel, and people with thin skin have no way of dealing with her. But Shen Zhizhu is different. When she was just reborn, she hated their family the most, and Lun Futou also thought about giving her some wounds so that she would remember it and cause her less trouble.

Shen Jianjun snorted coldly, supported his body with one hand on his knee with his elbow at 90 degrees, and waved the other hand to point fingers at others.

"It's just a woman's trick. You just lie there and see if she dares to chop you down. It's useless. You've lived for most of your life, and you can still be frightened by a little devil."

Li Chunlan laughed dryly twice, seeming not so confident.

"I'm not, I'm a little scared."

Shen Jianguo waved his hand.

"In that case, let's go to Shen Zhizhu's house after we finish our meal. How come I, as her uncle, didn't even come over to show my appreciation after such a long time? How could she be so uneducated?"

"By the way, ask for the property deed. How can a girl take away the things at home when she gets married? That's outrageous."

His chopsticks had fallen to the ground and were covered in dust when he hit Shen Aiqiu just now. Even though Li Chunlan picked them up and washed them, Shen Jianguo still frowned as he looked at them.

Shen Ai Qiu smiled and tried to please Shen Jianguo.

"Dad, why don't we go directly to Shen Zhizhu's house? Her family often has a feast of fish and meat, and sometimes even game from the mountains. It's extremely luxurious. Maybe if we go there, we can catch up with dinner time and honor you properly. Besides, all the rice and flour in her house are the best and most expensive. They are delicious and won't make your throat choke at all."

Hearing this, Shen Jianguo was moved. He was a self-employed laborer and loved to eat meat. However, his family was not well-off since he was a child, and he had always mainly eaten vegetables. Meat was a precious commodity.

I eat it, but I can’t bear to eat it.

When I heard that Shen Zhizhu's family often had lavish meals and fish, my first reaction was that it was impossible.

Sensing Shen Jianguo's disbelief, Shen Ai Qiu explained.

"She married a good husband. Xu Haonan is a good hunter. After finishing his work in the fields, he would often go to the pond to catch a few fish, or go to the back mountain to bring back some rabbits, pigeons, etc. Last time, he even hunted a wild boar and sold it for more than 400 yuan."

Shen Jianguo was surprised. No wonder he could eat fish every day. So this is the reason.

He made up his mind immediately.

"Let's go to Shen Zhizhu's house and see what they are having for dinner tonight. If they don't offer the delicious food to their uncle's family who raised them first, they are indeed ungrateful people who can never be fed."

So the four of them walked towards Shen Zhizhu from home again.

"Strange, everyone goes to bed so early these days? Why don't I see many people chatting outside?"

On the road, Shen Jianjun looked at the sparse crowds of people and felt a little confused.

Li Chunlan never noticed these things before, and only realized something was wrong when Shen Jianguo mentioned it.

"That's not right. Usually it's very lively at this time. The house is hot and stuffy, so everyone will gather outside to chat and enjoy the fresh air. They won't go back to bed until it's very late. Why are there so few people at this time?"

However, no one could answer their questions.

Soon, the four of them arrived at Shen Zhizhu's home. The yard, which should have been brightly lit at this time, was dark at this moment. No one responded after they shouted for a long time.

"Humph, that little bitch probably knew you were coming back today, so she deliberately hid inside and didn't come out."

Thinking this, they knocked on the door and shouted outside, but all they got in response was the silent night and the barking of dogs in the distance.
