Chapter 165 Buying Grain
Uncle Shen put down the bucket and looked at Shen Xue coldly, "How can you snatch something that is not given to you?"
Shen Xue was almost mad at her mother's manipulation of putting the blame on her. Her eyes were red. "Dad, I didn't steal it. Mom gave it to me. She lied."
Liu Pan looked like he was saying, "I don't have you, don't talk nonsense." "What nonsense are you talking about? We have no relationship, so why should I give you potatoes and sweet potatoes?
I, Liu Pandi, am notoriously stingy. Everyone in the team knows it. How could I be willing to give you something?
Xiangxi, don't listen to her nonsense, I will remember what you said in my heart."
Liu Pandi didn't dare to look Uncle Shen in the eye while she was talking. She felt guilty. Uncle Shen just glanced at her and said, "Since the potatoes and sweet potatoes are for Great Uncle, why don't you give them to him quickly?"
"I'll go right away." Liu Pan ran away like the wind.
Shen Xue stood there, looking at her father aggrievedly. She really didn't understand why her parents, who obviously loved her so much in the past, would treat her like this now!
Not only did they not help her, they also wouldn't let her call her parents or go back to her parents' home. She had family and relatives, but in this brigade she was like an orphan, helpless and homeless.
She stepped forward and tugged at Uncle Shen's clothes, "Dad, please don't be angry with me, okay?
It was all my fault before. I shouldn't have always contradicted you. Now I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Uncle Shen looked around and didn't see anyone. He asked in confusion, "Who are you calling daddy? I'm your Uncle Shen!"
Shen Xue stamped her feet, "Dad, why are you the same as Mom! I am your biological daughter, do you really intend to stop me from calling you dad in this life?"
"What daughter? I, Shen Lao San, don't have a daughter. Don't just claim her as your father."
Uncle Shen's love for her had long been worn away when she was obsessed and determined to marry Zhou Jingchen no matter what, even at the cost of her life!
Seeing her crying and heartbroken,
The old father didn't feel sorry at all. He picked up the bucket and walked past her as if he didn't see her.
Shen Xue wiped her tears and went home to cry to Zhou Jingchen. "Jingchen, I'm back."
Seeing that she had nothing in her hands, Zhou Jingchen knew that she had not brought anything back from her mother's home this time.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, he controlled his facial expression and spoke gently,
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red? Did your father-in-law and mother-in-law tell you something?"
Shen Xue threw herself into Zhou Jingchen's arms, "Jingchen, my parents always asked me to call them Uncle Shen and Aunt Liu.
My mother clearly gave me potatoes and sweet potatoes, but when I was halfway there, she caught up with me and took them away..."
Shen Xue threw herself into Zhou Jingchen's arms and was not honest. Her hands kept moving around. Zhou Jingchen's face was filled with black lines. He pushed her away and strode to the door.
He didn't even dare to stay in the same room with Shen Xue. This woman was very hungry. Zhou Jingchen felt weak when he saw her.
"Maybe my parents are still mad at me. I've implicated you.
Let my mother take the potatoes and sweet potatoes. We don’t lack potatoes and sweet potatoes at home.”
Zhou Jingchen no longer had any expectations for Shen Xue. He knew that this woman was useless.
Even her own family disliked her. After he married her, he never enjoyed any convenience in the Shenjiaba Brigade. Instead, he could not hold his head up high everywhere.
Zhou Jingchen now regrets marrying Shen Xue all the time. They both have the surname Shen and are both daughters of the Shen family.
If he married Shen Shuyu, his life would definitely be different. Not only would he be able to live in a brick house, but he would also be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.
He had heard that Shen Shuyu was looking for a son-in-law, and that all those ruffians and scoundrels wanted to marry into the Shen family and become their son-in-law.
They asked their family members to come to propose marriage to Old Lady Shen every day just to get the money and job in Shen Shuyu's hands.
Compared with those ruffians, Zhou Jingchen is very confident in himself. If he hadn't gotten married,
He took the initiative to tell Old Lady Shen that he wanted to be her son-in-law. Old Lady Shen would definitely be very happy to have a grandson-in-law like him.
With a husband as gentle as jade, Shen Shuyu would probably wake up laughing in her dreams!
What a pity! He was plotted against by Shen Xue and could not become the son-in-law of the Shen family! Shen Shuyu also missed a good man like him!
Shen Xue didn't know what he was thinking. She glanced at the empty food basket in the corner and said, "Jing Chen, but we have no food to eat tonight!"
"Aren't there two potatoes?"
"Two potatoes are not enough. Jingchen, give me some money. I'll go to the brigade to buy some food."
He was asked to pay again! The little money he brought was almost spent! Zhou Jingchen didn't want to pay, "Can't we buy food on credit? Just buy more on credit, and we'll pay it back after the food is distributed."
"Jingchen, we have already bought food on credit once. Second Grandfather won't let us buy it on credit again unless we pay back the food we bought on credit last time." She had just told her mother how good Jingchen was to her.
She had everything she needed. Jing Chen would buy her whatever she wanted. She would go out to buy food on credit. Her mother would laugh at her if she knew.
Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu would also laugh at her if they knew!
She can't afford to lose this person!
"Jing Chen, you are not out of money, are you? You said that you always ride a four-wheeled vehicle to go to and from school. With your status, you can't be without money to buy food, right?"
After she said that, Zhou Jingchen had to pay even though he felt bad. He took out one dollar.
"Go buy some cornmeal first. You don't need to buy so much. If you buy too much, it will be too heavy and you won't be able to carry it. Just buy one dollar's worth of cornmeal."
Her Jing Chen is considerate! Shen Xue took the money out to buy food!
Shen Erzhu is at the grain drying ground. He has to pay the public grain tax tomorrow.
Shen Erzhu and the strong laborers in the team were weighing and tallying the grain, and also explaining some precautions for paying the public grain tax tomorrow.
Today, almost all the team members are here, including Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong.
Shen Shuyu sat on the platycodon and used the peeled willow branches to weave the small basket that Gu Jiandong wanted.
Gu Jiandong leaned against her back, fanning her with a palm-leaf fan. Bai Luobo lay at their feet, wagging his tail from time to time.
When Shen Xue saw the two of them, she cursed them in her heart with disdain, calling them two fools, and said loudly, "Second Grandfather, I want to buy some food."
Shen Erzhu took the time to look up and asked, "What are you buying?"
Shen Xue held the money in her hand and said proudly, "Buy one dollar of cornmeal."
Feeling that everyone's eyes were on her, Shen Xue straightened her chest.
Everyone must be envious of her because she could easily take out a dollar to buy cornmeal, unlike them who probably didn't have a dime in their pockets.
No one envied her, they just thought she was a little stupid, she could earn food with work points,
She still wants to spend money. Isn't this stupid? In the countryside, who needs to spend money to buy food to make a living?
Shen Erzhu patted the dust on his hands and said, "Follow me."
Shen Erzhu went to the granary and weighed one dollar's worth of cornmeal for Shen Xue. He then gave the money to the accountant for accounting.
