Chapter 51: Need to Find a Way to Make Money
Shen Chuning left the space with excitement.
At this time, it was just dawning.
Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang had already arrived with the broken tiles.
Shen Chuning quickly greeted them, “Brothers, why did you come so early? Have you had breakfast?”
“Yes.” Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang answered in unison.
Shen Chuning had lived with her two brothers for twenty years, how could she not understand them?
Seeing their evasive eyes, she knew that although they had eaten, each of them had only eaten a sweet potato at most.
Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang skillfully climbed onto her wall and started plastering and inserting tiles.
Shen Chuning didn’t care about them and went to the kitchen to cook.
It was early today, she rolled out noodles, cooked the noodles, blanched some lettuce leaves, and put two poached eggs in each noodle bowl.
She added lard, chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and chopped green onions, then shouted to the wall, “Big Brother, Second Brother, come and eat.”
Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang had seen Shen Chuning busy in the kitchen.
But they thought Shen Chuning was just making her own breakfast, so they didn’t pay attention.
Hearing Shen Chuning call them, Shen Zhengxu was a little surprised, “Little sister, didn’t you say that Second Brother and I had breakfast and came here? Eat yourself, we don’t need to.”
Saying this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering towards Shen Chuning.
Shen Zhengliang also felt very touched. In the past, their little sister would only think of herself when there was delicious food, never thinking of them.
Their little sister was really different now.
Seeing her two brothers bury their heads in work again,
Shen Chuning put her hands on her waist, “Big Brother, Second Brother, are you sure you’re not eating my food?”
“Okay, if you don’t eat, I’ll pour it all out!” Shen Chuning said, pretending to pour out a bowl of noodles, and sighed, “What a waste of good white flour.”
Before she finished speaking, Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang quickly climbed down from the wall.
They knew their sister best.
Their little sister had been spoiled by their father and them since she was a child. Although she was born in the countryside where everyone couldn’t eat or wear enough, she had everything she wanted and had never suffered.
Therefore, she didn’t know the hardships of the world.
If she got willful, she really could pour out the good white flour.
“Little sister, don’t pour it out, we’ll eat, we’ll eat, okay?” Shen Zhengxu quickly snatched the bowl from her hand and handed it to Shen Zhengliang, “Second Brother, eat.”
Shen Chuning put away her willful look and smiled, handing another bowl of noodles to Shen Zhengxu, “Big Brother, you eat too.”
“You, you’re really impossible to deal with.” Shen Zhengxu looked at his pretty little sister, helplessly and dotingly.
Shen Chuning smiled sweetly, not angry, and ate a small bowl of noodles herself.
After Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang finished a bowl of noodles, they found that there were actually two poached eggs at the bottom of the bowl.
They were both relieved.
They, as big men, didn’t need to eat eggs.
Shen Zhengxu even wanted to give the poached eggs to Shen Chuning, but after Shen Chuning firmly refused, he ate them with a heart ache look.
After eating, Shen Zhengxu looked at Shen Chuning hesitantly.
“Big Brother, just say what you want to say.” Shen Chuning took the initiative to speak, seeing her brother’s look.
Shen Zhengxu smiled, “Little sister, it’s not a big deal. Big Brother just wants to tell you that you’ve just gotten married, although Zhou Yubai’s salary is not low, but you have to plan your spending.
You have to save some money, your expenses for having and raising children will be huge in the future.
In the future, you can eat fine grains, but don’t give them to us anymore.”
Shen Zhengxu spoke kindly, nervously looking at Shen Chuning, afraid that his little sister would get angry because of his words.
In the past, at home, he felt that his little sister was too extravagant, and when their family of four men had difficulty supporting her, he had also hinted that his little sister should be more frugal.
But his little sister got angry on the spot, saying that he wanted to marry a wife and found her sister annoying, and didn’t want to support her anymore.
She cried and gasped for breath.
Their father was heartbroken.
He was already in his twenties, and yet he was still beaten by his father.
From then on, he never thought of changing his sister, but today, thinking that his sister was married, he was afraid that she would be extravagant and not plan, and be disliked by her husband’s family, so he couldn’t help but say it.
“Little sister, Big Brother isn’t saying that you spend too much…”
After Shen Zhengxu finished speaking, seeing Shen Chuning not speaking, he immediately anxiously wanted to explain.
He was almost thirty now, and he didn’t want to be beaten by his father again.
Shen Zhengliang understood his brother’s concerns and immediately pressed down on Shen Zhengxu, saying seriously to Shen Chuning, “Ningning, we’re both very happy that you made this bowl of noodles for us today.
Second Brother knows that you’ve grown up and become sensible these days. You should understand Big Brother’s good intentions.
You don’t earn money, so you don’t know how hard it is to earn money, Zhou Yubai and Laosan in the army, that’s even more hard-earned money earned with their lives, you should really learn to plan your life, and not spend all your money.”
Listening to her second brother’s words, Shen Chuning frowned slightly and thought seriously.
She could now make money by selling the grain produced in the space, but that money was illicit, and the source couldn’t be explained to anyone.
She needed a legitimate way to make money.
Although she saw in her dream that she could freely do business and make money in the future, the country didn’t allow speculation and profiteering now.
“Little sister…”
Seeing Shen Chuning frown, Shen Zhengxu thought she was unhappy and quickly tried to smooth things over, “Big Brother and Second Brother’s words were a little harsh…”
“Big Brother, Second Brother, you’re right. Don’t worry, I understand what you said, I won’t spend money recklessly.
I’ll save the money, and live with Brother Yubai and raise children in the future.”
Shen Chuning looked at her two brothers seriously with her watery eyes, and said firmly.
Her delicate ears turned slightly red when she mentioned raising children.
Seeing that Shen Chuning not only wasn’t angry but also took their words to heart, Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely relieved.
However, the two were men after all, and it was a little awkward to talk about raising children with their sister. Seeing that their sister understood, they quickly wanted to continue working.
Thinking of Father Shen going to the quarry, Shen Chuning stopped her two brothers and asked if their father had gone to the commune to withdraw his name.
Unexpectedly, their father hadn’t told her two brothers about this, and they didn’t know whether their father had gone to withdraw his name later.
Thinking about this, Shen Chuning still had to go to the commune herself to make sure that Father Shen had withdrawn his name before she could rest assured.
She quickly cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and the kitchen, greeted her two brothers, and rode her bicycle to the commune.
On the way, she passed Li Xiaolan’s house, and Li Xiaolan and her mother, Xiuying Auntie, were sending Women’s Director Lu Xiaohong out.
Lu Xiaohong said with a smile, “Xiuying, don’t worry, I’ll find a suitable man for Xiaolan.”
Xiuying Auntie also pulled the reluctant Li Xiaolan and smiled.
Li Xiaolan’s pursuit of Zhou Yubai and waiting until this age without getting engaged was well-known.
Now, being seen by Shen Chuning asking the Women’s Director to help her find someone to meet, Li Xiaolan felt as if she had been stripped naked and exposed.
Although she was reluctant, she cooperated with her mother.
At this moment, she bit her lip and broke free from her mother’s hand, “I said I’m not getting married, not getting married, I’m not getting married!”
After saying this, she ran into the house with red eyes.
