Chapter 52: I’ve already returned, but I can’t return in vain
"That person is usually arrogant. Why did you offend her? I won't know what to say to you outside." Shen's mother, Zou Yujing, said after closing the door.
"You two just care too much about the opinions of these irrelevant people."
Although the house at home is only about 60 square meters and the decoration is old, everything is familiar and feels at ease.
Shen You put down her things and went to wash her hands and get a bowl to eat.
"Xiaoyou, who gave these things?"
Mother Shen looked at the pile of high-end gift boxes on the ground, feeling a little overwhelmed.
I have never seen anyone giving these as gifts during Chinese New Years and holidays before. You can tell by looking at the packaging that they are not cheap, and there is also the wine.
Shen You calmly replied, "A collector who came to me to take orders for repairing antiques."
Father Shen and Mother Shen felt relieved after hearing this.
People who collect antiques at home are not short of money. They think it is valuable, but to others it is probably just an ordinary gift box.
"The mooncakes on this side can be given away to others. I'll put the things inside and eat them ourselves. Don't give them to those people." Shen You said again.
Opposite her, Father Shen and Mother Shen looked at her serious expression and nodded in agreement.
Shen You knew that as long as she said so, her parents would definitely not take it out again.
"One more thing, I have to tell you in advance. I bought you a small house in Jiangcheng for your retirement. Don't let your relatives and neighbors know about this."
In this small place, if people knew that she bought a house worth two million in such a short period of time after taking over the store, she would get into trouble.
When the decoration is completed, she will move directly there. Her kind aunt will be able to receive her, and don’t tell anyone else’s address.
Before that, I have to settle the family affairs and leave her family after defrauding them of so much money.
She had to find a way to find him. If she didn't have money to pay back, she would go in and cry behind bars.
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big deal like buying a house?" It took a while for Mother Shen to react, "They say buying a house now is risky. How much did you borrow?"
Houses in Jiangcheng are not cheap for them, and uncles with some wealth have to chip in.
Shen's father and Shen's mother are worried that their daughter will not be able to pay the bills by then. The family now has to pay back the money every month and cannot help her much.
I am also worried about the person in the new house who is unfamiliar with the place.
"It's not much, I can afford it, don't worry." Shen You said with a smile, "There are no guest rooms in the house. I have already contacted the decoration company."
The couple originally wanted to talk about where the relatives who had no guest rooms had gone to stay, but when the words came to their lips, they saw Shen You's expression of absolute non-negotiation and stopped talking.
They felt guilty towards their daughter about the guarantee. The child bought the house on her own merit, so it was hard for them to raise any objections.
Seeing that their daughter is now capable, they are also happy.
"Mom, I transferred 20,000 yuan to you. After the festival, I will sign up for you a tour group in the Imperial Capital. You can go out and have a good time."
"How much will it cost? It's too expensive. You have many places to spend money outside. You can spend the money yourself. We don't want it." Mother Shen shook her head.
Shen You said firmly, "I'm not short of these tens of thousands of dollars, you just keep it."
The couple confirmed again and again before accepting the money with confidence.
Shen You dragged her suitcase into her room, put on her headphones and looked at the surveillance camera in the shop. Everything was normal.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I had dinner at my aunt's house. Several relatives lived close to each other. My parents also celebrated the festival together as before, and each family contributed some food money.
If there is any advantage in the family, it is that no matter in normal times or during New Years and holidays, men are the ones who cook.
Shen You woke up in the morning and saw the surveillance outside the shop.
Liu Zheng stood in front of the door, obviously not used to this way of delivering news beyond his cognitive scope.
He and Zhong Jing looked left and right at the door panel, stretched out their hands to poke tentatively, listened attentively, and finally stood straight.
"Shopkeeper Shen." Liu Zheng said to the door panel, "All the goods from the day before yesterday have been sold. Many dignitaries in the capital are asking when new ones will be purchased." "I heard that the two favored people in the palace Madam, we started arguing over the box of rouge." He said the last words very quietly.
"The prices of these things outside have gone up like crazy. I almost couldn't help but sell them privately for more money."
After listening to what Liu Zheng said, Shen You thought to himself, this guy is really a genius.
A box can be divided into two large and small portions.
This was a replay of the video, and she couldn't respond. She would split the money with him when she went back to open the store.
Shen You lay on the bed and took a deep sleep. Then she got up and changed into her daily Song Dynasty blouse and pleated skirt, and carried her things over to eat.
After saying hello to a few relatives, Shen You found a place to sit on the sofa.
Next to her were the son and daughter-in-law of the runaway second uncle, her cousin and sister-in-law, the one who was jumped by the immortal.
On the other side are the uncle’s cousins.
Half of the people in this living room had had trouble with her.
During the Chinese New Year, she got angry and brought up the matter about the guarantee. Her second uncle's son had been so prosperous in the past that he could not bear to be scolded by his poor relatives.
During the quarrel, another victim who had invested money became angry and joined the fight. The second uncle's son started to fight with others, and the dinner table was overturned.
No one lived that year well. She hid her achievements and fame beside her and played games in the middle of the night. Thinking about it makes her feel good.
If her parents hadn't been here during this festival, she really wouldn't have wanted to come back.
But now that I'm back, I can't come back in vain.
The cousin-in-law was complaining to her mother again.
They kept saying that the man she married was unreliable, and the second uncle owed so much money and had to go out to hide from debts, so the child was pitiful.
Her mother did this, but Shen You didn't.
"Do you still remember that relative from your hometown in the village? He worked hard for half his life and saved some money so that his children could go to school in the county. As a result, my second uncle borrowed the money and his children can only go to school in the village now.
It's not like your two sons who have been in the city since they were young and have nannies to take care of them. It's so pitiful. ”
Shen You's tone was sincere, and the other person opened his mouth with an awkward expression.
Shen You will always remember that not long after this family borrowed her family's money, her cousin took her two sons to play abroad.
He came back and said he had brought her a gift, with that condescending look.
What they took out were cosmetics that were mailed in a domestic online wallet for more than ten yuan. It was difficult for them to bring them back from abroad.
My cousin-in-law showed off at the time by buying a set of big-name lipsticks in a duty-free shop.
To put it bluntly, I feel that they, poor relatives and creditors, only deserve cheap things.
"Cousin, I also brought something for you."
Shen You smiled and took out the cosmetics of the same brand from the bag, as well as a large plastic bracelet from the antique street.
"I remember you brought it back to me specially before. You probably thought this brand was useful, so I bought you two bottles. Also, this bracelet has been selling well in the antique street recently."
My cousin's face was stiff. Even though she was always so versatile, she was choked to the point where her chest felt tight and her breathing became heavier.
What's good! I just gave my aunt a Hetian jade bracelet, which costs hundreds or even thousands, and a silk shawl.
Do you think this is plastic?
"What's wrong, don't you like it?" Shen You's smile became more sincere.
