Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Chapter 130 Follow-up (3)

After resolving Shen Wan's issue, Old Lady Shen turned her attention to Cheng Jinchu.

"Yi girl, stop beating around the bush. Tell me, how did you end up talking about your sister Ning not sleeping well?"

Cheng Jinchu glanced at Shen Hao below, then turned to look at the old lady.

"Grandma, this is what happened. Sister Wan just said that my great uncle brought his good nephew to our house. I heard that his house was burned down, so my great uncle was kind enough to bring him to our house to study with my cousin!

That’s right, his house also caught fire. What a coincidence. It seemed that only that place caught fire recently. So, his family must be one of the families that had to receive compensation!

I thought everyone must be curious about how much he lost, so why not ask him to come over and tell us what happened that day!

"Yes, yes, alas, I hope that not every family will get three hundred taels in the end, otherwise I will regret it so much that my intestines will turn green."

Shen An noticed the issue of compensation. When he talked about it, he regretted that he bought the house when he should have been tempted. So he got angry at Yu.

"It's all your fault. I asked for money to buy a house, but you refused to give it to me. No matter how much I tried to persuade you, you wouldn't give it to me. If you had bought it for me, I would have received the compensation now.

Besides, I am different from those people. The things in my house are not valuable. Anyway, those things were burned at that time. I said that the furniture was made of the best mahogany, so you have to compensate me according to this price! "

In fact, Yu also regretted it. She thought that Shen Lao Er just wanted to buy a house for the woman outside.

In fact, Yu was really wronging Shen An. Compared with his brother, he was much more restrained.

He only has one woman outside. To be honest, if that woman hadn't come from a poor family, he would definitely have made her a concubine.

But she was unwilling to go back to the Shen Mansion with him, so Shen An had already spent a large sum of money to buy her a house, and also bought servants to serve her. The furniture there was all well-selected. To be honest, the life there was better than that of Yu's family in the Shen Mansion.

Shen An spent too much money on that woman, so he had to ask Yu for money to buy a house like that because he had no money.

As for Yu, she had always known that her husband had mistresses outside, and she had always thought that there were many of them, so Shen An spent his money so quickly. If she knew that this woman lived a more noble life than her, she would probably be furious.

"I, I didn't mean you, you're still talking about me, that house can be bought for less than a hundred taels, you, Mr. Shen, don't even have a hundred taels in your pocket?"

Shen An naturally didn't dare to argue any further. If Yu found out, he would end up losing more than he gained.

"Forget it, forget it. What's the point of arguing now? Next time I make a decision, don't interfere. Such a good opportunity will be lost in vain."

Yu didn't want to argue either, but it wasn't that she really didn't want to, because she would get into trouble if she argued in front of Old Lady Shen.

"You two should stop arguing. It's a good thing you didn't buy the house there, otherwise, that idiot wouldn't be able to afford it."

After Shen An and Yu heard what Old Lady Shen said, they looked at her in confusion, and she pointed at Shen Hao.

"Look, that idiot isn't standing there!"

Old Mrs. Shen didn't want to cover up for Shen Hao anymore. She knew that it was obvious that Yi Yatou did it on purpose when she brought up this matter today.

This girl looks delicate and cute, but I didn't expect that she still holds a grudge. She still holds a grudge against me for the last time Zhou wanted to beat her.

Under normal circumstances, if any granddaughter held a grudge against her elders because of their mistakes, she would definitely blame them. However, since this girl had just returned and had suffered several injustices, she was willing to listen to what she had to say.

However, this is not the point. The point is that Old Mrs. Shen hates Qian very much.

When the Shen family was still poor, that is, before Shen Yun got married, the Qian family had always been the Shen family's neighbor. Shen Hao and Qian grew up together. Shen Hao had liked Qian since he was a child. Whenever Qian had a bad idea, she would instigate Shen Hao to do it.

For example, when Qian wanted to eat eggs when she was a child, she instigated Shen Hao to steal some for her. If one, no, half of the stolen eggs went into Shen Hao's stomach, then the beating he received would be worth it.

The most infuriating thing was that before Qian came of age, she lied to Shen Hao, saying that her mother owed someone a large sum of money and could not pay it back, so that person wanted her to be a concubine. Shen Hao had heard of that person, who was already in his fifties, more than ten years older than Qian's mother, who was only in her thirties at that time.

The man was rich and a prominent figure in the local area. He was fat and greasy. He had many women, but when he got tired of them, he would give them some money to kick them out of his house. The master only liked good-looking women. It didn't matter what the woman's reputation was, as long as she was pretty, he didn't care even if the woman was a widow.

Shen Hao believed it and worked hard to make money. Qian still coaxed him to steal, but Shen Hao persisted longer this time because Old Lady Shen told Shen Hao at that time that if he stole for Qian again, she would not want this son anymore.

In the end, Qian ran to Shen Hao and cried, saying that her mother said that if he didn't give her money, the old man would come and snatch her away. So Shen Hao panicked and went to beg Old Lady Shen to give him money so that he could marry a wife. But Old Lady Shen hated the Qian family to begin with, so how could she agree?

So, Shen Hao went to steal again. He heard from Qian that the village chief's family had recently married a daughter-in-law with a lot of dowry. Shen Hao listened and immediately set out to steal from the village chief's family.

That time, Shen Hao was beaten so badly that he almost lost his life.

What Shen Hao didn't know was that when his father went to rescue him that day, he had already been knocked unconscious. His father was also beaten badly while protecting him. He lay in bed for several months because he was too old and could not bear it anymore.

Shen Hao woke up not long after he left. However, his father left a will not to let Shen Hao know the truth about his death. So when Shen Hao woke up, he just burned a few incense sticks for his father and then paid attention to the fact that Qian had gone to the imperial capital.

In fact, this matter was originally a conspiracy between Qian's mother and daughter and the village chief and his son to deal with Shen Hao. It was because the village chief's youngest son wanted to learn carpentry from a master. The master was an expert in making furniture and used to make furniture for nobles in the imperial capital. But Shen Hao suddenly showed up.

In the end, the master was particularly optimistic about Shen Hao, but the youngest son was not happy about it. He had given gifts in order to become his disciple, but all his efforts were in vain. So, he arranged for Qian to trick Shen Hao into stealing things. When his reputation of stealing spread, the master would not accept him.

After the matter was settled, Qian took the money and ran away with her lover. Qian's mother naturally agreed with this. She felt that the poor scholar was much better than Shen Hao, and it was nothing great that Shen Hao had a skill.

Of course, Qian doesn’t have much brains, but her mother does. What her mother did later became the key to Shen Hao’s good treatment of her and her son.

After Shen Hao woke up, his family told him that Qian had left with a scholar, but he didn't believe it.

One day when he was herding cattle outside, Qian's mother came. She gave Shen Hao 500 coins and said that Qian felt it was unfair for him to do such a dangerous thing. Moreover, Qian definitely did not run away with someone as others said. She sold herself to that man as his wife.

After getting the money, she divided it into three parts. Shen Hao and her mother each received 500 coins, and she kept one hundred coins for herself.

As for the master, Qian's mother sent herself there. Qian's mother was only in her thirties at that time, and was actually prettier than her daughter, so the master agreed.

Of course, this was what Qian’s mother said. In fact, the master had long been interested in Qian’s mother, and her mother also wanted to live a good life. The master also did not allow Qian’s mother to take his daughter with her.

It just so happened that Qian liked the poor scholar, and she also encountered the story of the village chief's son. She felt it was great to be able to get five taels of silver for her daughter to rely on.

In the end, Qian's mother became the master's concubine. The master was very generous to his woman. Qian's mother could get one or two taels of silver every two months, so she didn't feel bad at all about giving 500 coins to Shen Hao.

Or maybe Qian's mother was far-sighted. She had long seen that the third son of the Shen family would have great potential in the future, so she couldn't offend the Shen family.

Others might not believe this, but Qian is different. She is beautiful but cannot get married, unless Shen Hao is willing to marry her.

Qian's reputation in their local area was actually not very good. It was due to her own reasons and also to her mother's reasons. Qian's mother became a widow very early, but in order to raise her children, she had physical relationships with many people.

Therefore, no one in the village was willing to marry Qian, as they thought she was as dirty as her mother. The scholar came from another place, was very fair and handsome, and fainted on the roadside and was rescued by Qian.
