Chapter 11 Wu Hua Finds Trouble
The ward was quiet for a while. Shen Xue found a few topics and chatted with Zhou Jingchen for a while before saying she wanted to go home.
Before leaving, Zhou Jingchen asked her to borrow the only two cents she had. If someone else asked her to borrow money, Shen Xue would not lend a dime. She had saved these two cents for a long time.
It was Zhou Jingchen who spoke, and Shen Xue did not hesitate at all. Jingchen was from Beijing and his family was well-off, so it was impossible for him not to pay back the money.
"Jingchen, take good care of your injuries. I'll come back to see you in two days."
After leaving the hospital, Shen Xue planned to walk home. She had originally planned to take a ox cart home, but now she had no money at all, so she could not take the ox cart.
When she met Wu Hua when she returned to Shenjiaba Brigade, Shen Xue rolled her eyes and pulled Wu Hua, who had just finished work and went home, "Aunt Hua, you are done with work, you are in a hurry to go home and eat fish."
Wu Hua is Shen Erniu's stepmother. She looks mean, with triangular eyes, droopy mouth corners, and skinny cheeks.
Normally Shen Xue doesn't care about Wu Hua, but now she wants to cause some trouble for Shen Shuyu, so she takes the initiative to greet Wu Hua.
Wu Hua looked at her sideways, "What kind of fish do you want to eat? There is no fish in my house."
Shen Xue was surprised. "No way, Aunt Hua, I heard that Erniu brought back a lot of fish and even gave two fish to Shu Yu. We had fish for lunch at home."
Wu Hua was furious when she heard this, and she didn't have time to deal with Shen Xue anymore. She ran home while cursing, "This bitch didn't bring the fish home. I'll beat her to death when I get home."
Shen Erniu was about to cook when she came home from work. She saw Wu Hua coming home angrily, as if she wanted to eat her. Shen Erniu realized something was wrong and ran away.
Seeing that she dared to run, Wu Hua became even more furious and hit her with the stick in her hand, "You little bitch, you are such a traitor, you are so bold. You don't take the fish home, but give it to others. I might as well raise a dog than you, you ungrateful thing."
Shen Erniu ran very fast, and Wu Hua couldn't catch up with her at all. When Shen Datian got home, he heard his wife scolding his daughter. He didn't react at all, and asked casually, "What's wrong? You didn't cook when you came back, but played?"
"Datian, you're back just in time. Come and see your good daughter. I just learned that this bitch didn't take the fish home but gave it to other families to eat. I've never seen a daughter who is so ungrateful."
Shen Datian's face showed some expression at this moment. He looked up at his daughter on the wall and said, "Erniu, is what your mother said true?"
Shen Erniu had climbed up the wall at some point, and was shaking her legs as she rolled her eyes at Shen Datian and Wu Hua.
"So what if it's true? I can give my fish to whoever I want. Come up and hit me if you dare."
She is not the Shen Erniu she was when she was a child, who allowed them to beat and scold her.
Shen Datian and Wu Hua were very angry with Shen Erniu. They wanted to pull Shen Erniu down and give her a beating, but the wall was too high. They couldn't reach it or climb up.
Wu Hua was so angry that she couldn't do anything to her. She dragged Shen Datian out of the door. "Datian, come with me and get the fish back. It's unreasonable to give away our own fish to others."
"Shen Shuyu, come out here."
"What do you two want from my sweetheart?" Old Lady Shen and the others were at home. When they saw Shen Datian and Wu Hua coming home angrily and looking for Shen Shuyu, Old Lady Shen was the first to come out of the house.
Even though the old lady is old, her fighting ability is not weak. When it comes to fighting, none of the aunts and sisters in the team can match Old Lady Shen.
Wu Hua's momentum weakened when facing the old lady. "I... I want to ask her to compensate for the fish. I heard from Shen Xue that my second daughter brought two fish here."
As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Shen and the others all looked at Shen Xue. Shen Xue lowered her head guiltily, cursing Wu Hua in her heart. She had said this to her with such kindness, but she sold herself out the moment she opened her mouth.
Li Caixia's face darkened. "Xue girl, what are you thinking?"
Knowing exactly who Wu Hua was, she still told Wu Hua that Shen Erniu had brought the fish. Li Caixia wouldn't believe her if she said she didn't do it on purpose.
Faced with questioning from her family, Shen Xue lowered her head and said nothing, playing dumb!
Old Lady Shen glanced at her second granddaughter and looked at Wu Hua, "Aunt, my family doesn't owe you any fish."
"Why don't you owe me that? The fish my second daughter brought is mine. I didn't agree for her to give the fish to your family.
The fish has been eaten by you. I won't ask for more. You can compensate me with 30 eggs and we'll let it go."
"Tsk, you're so brave to ask for it. Aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach?" Shen Shuyu came back at some point. He put down the backpack and walked slowly to Wu Hua with a smile on his face.
Wu Hua instinctively took two steps back. Although this girl was young, the aura she exuded was very intimidating.
Thinking of the thirty eggs, Wu Hua regained her courage. Her Dabao had cried yesterday and said he wanted to eat eggs. "I... I don't care. Anyway, your family has to pay for it."
Shen Shuyu picked up a stick thrown in the corner and played with it. He glanced at Wu Hua lightly, and the stick in his hand broke with a snap.
Wu Hua was so scared that her legs went limp. This girl was too strong. She broke the stick as thick as her wrist with just a slight bend. What kind of person is she?
She changed her words, "Actually... an egg would be fine as compensation."
This girl is so strong that I wouldn't know if I'd be alive if I got punched by her.
Shen Datian shrank his neck and whispered to Wu Hua, "Let's go home. We are not in the right in this matter."
If I had known he shouldn't have come, it would have been much nicer for him to just sit at home, cross his legs and drink.
Shen Jiabao, Jiawei and Jiaguo looked at the younger sister with admiration. The younger sister is so cool!
Shen Qiu's eyes sparkled, her elder sister is awesome!
Shen Shuyu threw the stick in his hand and said, "Get lost."
"Okay!" The figures of Shen Datian and Wu Hua disappeared in an instant!
Everyone in the Shen family: “………………”
As soon as they left, Old Lady Shen examined her granddaughter's hands distressedly. "Oh, my dear, your hands are all red. Look at you. Why did you exert so much energy just now? You must be so tired. You might as well eat two more bowls of rice if you still have the energy."
Zhang Cuicui looked at her eldest niece's hand and found nothing wrong. She twitched the corner of her mouth. It turned out that her eldest niece was the old lady's favorite and she loved her to no end.
Li Caixia squeezed her hands hard, stretched out her black claws and approached the old lady, "Mom, my hands are red too, can I have two more bowls of rice tonight?"
What he got in return was a slap from the old lady. "What a fool! Don't you usually eat enough? Go to the kitchen and prepare dinner. My dear has been busy outside all day and is starving."
Liu Pandi: What was this damn girl busy with? She just played outside all day. The old lady is really partial.
Li Caixia didn't want to cook. She fixed her eyes on Shen Xue. "Mom, I think Shen Xue has to cook dinner tonight. I don't know what she is thinking. She ate a lot of fish at noon, and then she told Wu Hua about Erniu bringing the fish. Isn't this deliberately asking Wu Hua to cause trouble for Shu Yu?"
Zhang Cuicui: "Mom, the eggs you put in the kitchen are gone, and Shen Xue is the only one at home at noon!"
