CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: DAD IS A FORMIDABLE FIGURE TOO

Shen Qinglan knew that she couldn’t explain clearly in a short time, and she was too lazy to explain, so she directly suggested, "If Father is not at ease, come with me to Shengxiang Restaurant tomorrow morning."

Shen Shan also felt that he needed to make this trip, so he said, "Okay, Father will accompany you tomorrow morning."

Shen Qinglan sighed secretly.

Originally, she wanted to tell the Shen Family about the house, but now it seems that she still can’t say anything!

This money also seems impossible to give out.

Forget it, let’s take it slow!

Shen Qinglan looked at Shen Shan and asked, "Father, where are Mother and Elder Sister?"

"Them?"

Shen Shan suddenly stood up and said, "Look at me, I actually forgot this matter.

Your mother and the others are at your uncle’s house; they said someone from the Zhou Family is coming today, so they went over to have a meal together."

"Zhou Family?" Shen Qinglan hadn’t heard about it.

Shen Shan said, "The Zhou Family is your cousin’s future husband’s family. You happened to bring meat and some food back, so take some over."

Shen Qinglan nodded, went into the kitchen, took out a basket, packed a strip of five kilos of streaky pork, and took a few boxes of pastries.

After Shen Shan closed the door, the father and daughter finally left the house.

"Second Shen, is there a happy occasion in your house?"

As soon as they came out, a neighbor poked their head out and asked.

Shen Shan stopped and smiled, "No happy occasion, it’s just that the house ran out of food, so I bought some back to stock up."

The person asked again, "That cart of things must be worth no less than twenty taels, did you strike it rich?"

Shen Shan still remained calm and said, "No, I just borrowed it from the child’s uncle. It’s impossible to have no food or clothes, right? The kids’ clothes at home are all torn, so I must buy some fabric to make new ones."

Uncle Dong Zhong runs a tofu business. Many people buy from him, and he can earn several hundred coins a day. After so many years, getting twenty taels isn’t actually difficult.

The person felt disappointed upon hearing this, still hoping to get some money-making tips from Shen Shan.

Shen Qinglan felt that her father was also quite capable. He seemed honest, but when telling lies, he didn’t even need a draft.

That person admired, "Your uncle sure is generous, lending ten to twenty taels at once."

Although Dong Zhong has a bad temper and is strict in disciplining kids, he is still very fond of them.

Every time he visits with the aunt, he brings a pile of snacks for the kids.

Of course, a naughty child like Shen Qingzhu usually gets scolded at least once.

Shen Shan smiled and said, "I have something else to do, so I won’t say much."

After speaking, he signaled Qinglan beside him to hurry up and leave.

The others also poked their heads out to listen but were not interested once they heard it was borrowed from the Dong Family.

After walking a bit further, Shen Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "These people, one after another, always asking questions whenever they see someone buying a bit more stuff, really nosy."

Shen Qinglan nodded in agreement.

When the father and daughter arrived at Shen He’s house, the Zhou Family was already there, but the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

Shen Qinghe looked pale, her eyes were red as she sat on the side, and her hands were clenched tightly.

The other members of the Shen Family also looked quite unpleasant, especially Shen Qingju, who looked at the Zhou Family members as if she was ready to attack them anytime.

Shen Qinglan’s first feeling was that something was wrong. She looked at the restrained Shen Qinghe and then at the embarrassed Zhou Family, and a suspicion began to form in her heart.

"You all should leave."

The courtyard was silent for a long time, then Jiang Shi suddenly closed her eyes and spoke weakly.
