Chapter 61: Big Brother’s Money Should Be Saved for Marriage

Shen Chuning looked at Shen Zhengliang with confusion, “Second Brother, when did Dad say that the pendant was a family heirloom? Dad only said that the pendant was left to me by Mother!”

Shen Zhengliang’s face changed, and he felt a little embarrassed.

All along, their father had indeed said that the pendant was left to Shen Chuning by their mother.

Before, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with their mother leaving a pendant only to his sister.

But today, when Yumeng mentioned it, he also felt something was wrong.

In ordinary families, heirlooms are passed down to the eldest son. Even if there are many children and only one pendant, it should be passed down to the eldest brother, why would it be given to the younger sister?

Thinking of their father’s partiality, he felt that their mother probably hadn’t specified who should inherit the pendant, and their father had simply given it to his younger sister.

“Second Brother, I don’t necessarily need the pendant. But you said that since I’m married, I’m not part of the Shen family anymore, because of the pendant.”

Shen Chuning said, her eyes reddening, tears falling like broken pearls.

“Does it mean that after I get married, I’m no longer your sister, not Dad’s daughter? Woo woo woo…”

Seeing her tears, Shen Zhengliang realized that what he had said just now was too much, and he panicked.

“Ningning, Second Brother didn’t mean that, Second Brother just…”

He anxiously scratched his head, but didn’t know how to explain it to Shen Chuning.

Shen Chuning wiped her tears, crying uncontrollably, sobbing and fiercely asking, “Second Brother, tell me honestly, did Wang Yumeng want the pendant, so you asked me for it?”

“No, no…” Shen Zhengliang waved his hands repeatedly.

He could feel that Shen Chuning didn’t like Wang Yumeng very much, and if she thought Wang Yumeng wanted to take the thing left by her mother,

she would hate Wang Yumeng even more.

According to her willful nature, if she hated someone, she wouldn’t give them any face.

Then he and Yumeng…

“Second Brother, you’re lying.” Shen Chuning pouted, crying, “For so many years, you’ve never said you wanted the pendant. Now Wang Yumeng has only been with you for a few days, and you’re asking me for the pendant! If it wasn’t her who instigated you, who else could it be?”

“Second Brother, I think you’ve been blinded by Wang Yumeng’s sugar-coated bullets. If you think she’s so good, you’re willing to give her whatever she wants, then let her take care of you! Why do you still need me to take care of you? Woo woo woo…”

Shen Chuning finished speaking in one breath, wiping her tears and running away.

“Hey, Little sister!”

Shen Zhengliang didn’t expect that just asking Shen Chuning for a pendant would make her angry and run away.

Feeling annoyed, he also felt a little upset.

If their father hadn’t spoiled their little sister since she was a child, she wouldn’t be like this, unreasonable and impossible to reason with.

He rubbed his temples in a headache.

“Little sister, what’s wrong? Did Second Brother make you angry again?”

Shen Chuning ran to the hospital gate, crying, and met Shen Zhengxu, who had come to wipe Shen Zhengliang’s body after work.

Shen Chuning wiped her tears and told Shen Zhengxu what had happened.

After listening, Shen Zhengxu’s face sank, “Damn it! Second Brother is becoming more and more unreasonable. When Mother said she would leave the pendant to you, Second Brother and I were both at the bedside, how could he have the nerve to ask you for it!

He even said that you’re not part of our family after you get married, I think he’s the one with wild thoughts, he doesn’t want to be part of our family anymore!”

“Little sister, don’t cry.” After scolding Shen Zhengliang, Shen Zhengxu gently wiped Shen Chuning’s tears.

He pulled her hand and walked into the hospital, “Come on, Big Brother will help you teach that stupid Second Brother a lesson.”

Shen Chuning sniffed, stubbornly breaking free from her brother’s hand, “Big Brother, I don’t want to. I don’t want to see Second Brother anymore, he believes in Wang Yumeng so much, and likes her, then let Wang Yumeng take care of him. I won’t serve him!”

Shen Chuning raised her little face arrogantly.

Shen Zhengxu didn’t force her, only dotingly rubbing her soft hair, “Okay, our Ningning won’t serve that stupid Second Brother.

Ningning, wait for Big Brother for a while, Big Brother will go in and teach that guy a lesson, then come out and take you to buy something delicious.”

“Mm!” Shen Chuning nodded heavily.

Actually, even if her brother didn’t say so, she would wait for him.

It wasn’t for her brother to buy her something delicious, she wasn’t a child anymore, she didn’t need to be coaxed with delicious food.

Their production team was about eight kilometers away from the commune.

Big Brother had worked all day and walked here, it was already tiring enough.

She had to wait for her brother to come out and take her back together.

Shen Zhengxu went into the ward and scolded Shen Zhengliang, without even wiping his body, and came out.

Coming out, he rubbed her hair like he did when she was a child, gently coaxing her, “Little sister, let’s go, Big Brother will buy you sesame cakes.”

Shen Chuning didn’t refuse, and rode with Shen Zhengxu to the place selling sesame cakes.

“Comrade, twelve sesame cakes.” Shen Chuning stopped her bicycle and called out.

Shen Zhengxu heard the quantity Shen Chuning said and felt a little embarrassed.

Sesame cakes were the same price as buns, five fen each, and one sesame cake required one liang of food coupons.

Twelve sesame cakes were six mao, plus one jin and two liang of food coupons.

He only had six mao and one jin and two liang of food coupons.

This was all his belongings.

But he didn’t say anything, reaching out to take out the money.

Shen Chuning quickly pressed his hand, smiling, “Big Brother, you’ve always treated me to sesame cakes since I was a child, let me treat you once today.

Save your money and coupons for marriage.”

Hearing her words, Shen Zhengxu couldn’t help but pinch her little nose, “You girl, you’re teasing Big Brother again.”

Shen Chuning looked at her gentle brother and smiled brightly.

Her brother had been impoverished by her for so many years, he didn’t even have the money to buy He Hui a pair of yellow rubber shoes, how could she still take his money?

Seeing that her eyes were still red, Shen Zhengxu smiled brightly.

He felt that the fatigue on his body had dissipated because of his little sister’s bright smile.

He knew that his two younger brothers had some opinions about their father’s partiality towards their little sister.

But he didn’t, he was truly willing to spoil his little sister like their father.

Not for anything else, only because his little sister, no matter how much she cried, her bright smile after crying could melt away all the fatigue and unhappiness in his heart.

On the way back, Shen Chuning deliberately said angrily about Shen Zhengliang again.

“Big Brother, I think we should ask Wang Yumeng to take care of Second Brother. Anyway, Wang Yumeng visits Second Brother every day.

Let her take care of him, and we can see if she’s sincere or not, if she’s sincere, I have nothing to say.

If she’s insincere, let Second Brother know who is truly good to him. Don’t let him be swayed by her sugar-coated bullets and want to give away even Mother’s heirloom.”
