Grandma Shen, who stayed where she was, calmed down with gritted teeth before quickly changing her expression. When she raised her head, she had a look of resentment on her face.

"Mother, I am sorry to bother you. I will take Jiao Jie'er back now."

Grandma Shen looked a little pale and greeted the old lady who was sitting there and only caring about her two grandchildren. She really didn't have the mood to continue flattering the old lady today. She didn't expect Master Shen to be so ruthless.

Oh, if she takes Jiao Jie'er away, what about her mother? Is she just going to stay here and let things take their own course? Then what is the point of her existence as Grandma Shen, who has long been dead in name only?

After all, the old lady had lived with Grandma Shen for so many years. She sighed and advised, "Yanqing is doing great things outside. We can't help him much, but it's okay for him to stay at home quietly! The Shen family will never really ignore you."

Yes! She would not be ignored. This kind of control would squeeze her, the legitimate head of the family, into the smallest courtyard. If Lu Ma had not been her dowry, she would have had a few people around her to serve her. She had to remember to take care of the meals prepared by the big kitchen every month, and she had to be grateful for the monthly allowance that she was supposed to get.

In order to survive, Grandma Shen thought she had given in too much. If her family was not such a loser and could only hold her back, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Grandma Shen was upset thinking about the glorious days in the past, and she unconsciously squeezed Shen Wenjiao's small hand. Shen Wenjiao couldn't bear the pain, and after trying to hold it back, she struggled a bit. This also brought Grandma Shen back to her senses from her past memories.

"Mom, I understand. A woman should regard her husband as her heaven and a virtuous and kind man as her top priority."

The old lady nodded and said, "It's the best that you think so. Otherwise, I have good taste and I chose a good daughter-in-law."

Grandma Shen herself didn't believe what she said. If she hadn't tried to use some tricks, she would have been divorced by Master Shen last time. What would Shen Wenjiao do then? In Datong, if a woman was really divorced, no matter how nicely she was told, she would have no reputation at all. In the end, she had only one way to go, which was to get a foot of white silk, or else her life would be bought again by her natal family.

Grandma Shen looked at Shen Wenjiao who was holding her hand, and asked herself for the ten-thousandth time, if Sister Jiao was a son, would her current situation be different? Even if Master Shen would never come again, she always had some hope with a son in her hands.

Now, alas~

"Mom, I'm going back." Grandma Shen took Shen Wenjiao to say goodbye to the old lady again. This time the old lady was too lazy to say anything. She just waved her hand, as if she was sending away a kitten or a puppy.

Some attention but obviously not much.

Mother Lu held Shen Wenjiao in her arms and followed Grandma Shen towards their courtyard step by step. Her heart gradually became heavy. Judging from today's confrontation, her grandma didn't get any advantage at all! Jiao Jie'er was also going to be taken away by the master, so her grandma would be no different from a widow.

It seems that she won't have a good life with Grandma in the future. Maybe Grandma's life will be worse than hers! As Lu Ma walked, she kept thinking in her mind. After all, she has a son and a daughter. Should she leave Grandma and work hard somewhere else?

Alas, Lu Ma felt sorry for her. If she wasn't the dowry of the Grandmother, she could have found a better place by spending some money and using some connections. She was not like Wang Ma and her daughter, who were short-sighted and had never seen any wealth. They just thought that the Grandmother, who had no worries about food and drink, was a good master.

Shen Wenjiao also nestled in Lu Ma's arms, thinking a lot. Today, her filter for her father, a so-called intellectual, was completely lost. Shen Wenjiao didn't know whether his father was a kind father to the two boys in the room who had hardly spoken from beginning to end.

But for Shen Wenjiao, this father was very unqualified. Shen Wenjiao had noticed that the other party ignored her and her daughter at the beginning. She didn't know why his attitude changed later, but Shen Wenjiao knew it was definitely not because of fatherly love. Shen Wenjiao frowned and thought about the reason repeatedly in her heart.

As the old saying goes, it is better to follow a beggar mother than a government official father. If she had a choice, Shen Wenjiao would never follow her father to Beiping. Shen Wenjiao knew that although her mother, Grandmother Shen, said and even thought that she was not a boy, she would not harm her in the end and would still plan for her future. But her father, who had a strange attitude, might not be the same in the future.

Shen Wenjiao was worried, but she couldn't resist her family's decision with her small arms and legs! Forget it, just wait and see! After all, she still had a golden finger!

Shen Wenjiao looked at the remaining 185 Little Stars on the system panel, and then looked at the prices in the system mall, feeling annoyed. Are these Little Stars the same price as copper coins? Wow, this is more serious than her study and progress~

Not to mention the various considerations of Lu Ma and Shen Wenjiao, it was obvious that Grandma Shen was also very worried and had a lot on her mind. The three of them took twice as long to get back to the courtyard as they did when they went there.

Grandma Shen looked at the small courtyard that she had deliberately made look particularly desolate, and felt miserable and helpless. If showing weakness and pretending to be pitiful was useless, what should she do? Could she really just sit there and wait for death?

"Mother Lu, Jiao Jie'er will sleep with me today, so I'll give you a night off. You don't need to stay up all night tonight!"

Grandma Shen can only hold on to her daughter, her only hope, and cannot let her be forgotten in this mansion.

Although Lu Ma had the idea of ​​escaping from Grandma Shen, she didn't intend to turn hostile right away. Her attitude remained the same as before, "Grandma, Wang Ma and the others have already sent you to rest. I'm not here, and you don't even have anyone to serve you at night! Otherwise, I'd better stay here tonight!"

Over the years, Grandma Shen was not completely unaware of what Lu Ma was thinking. After all, they spent more time together than others.

"No need, Jiao Jie'er, I'm here for you! We're in the Shen family mansion anyway. How could anyone come to our remote little courtyard?" Grandma Shen said with a bit of self-mockery.

"That's not necessarily true. The old man will be back in the evening. We can't forget to invite you to the reunion dinner. If I stay, I can help you take care of Jiao Jie'er."

Mother Lu thought of the old man who was particularly satisfied with his daughter-in-law, Grandma Shen, and said with a glimmer of hope in her heart. The Shen family couldn't really ignore her grandmother to this extent!

"Grandpa, it's a good thing that he doesn't remember me." Grandma Shen said softly with no clear meaning. The last sentence was so faint that even Lu Ma, who was not far away from her, didn't hear it clearly. However, Shen Wenjiao heard something in Grandma Shen's arms.
