Chapter 21: Shen Anan’s Unbelievable Luck?

No one knew whether Shen Anan had gone to the countryside…

Liu Cailan gritted her teeth.

That girl must have money, but she refused to give any to her!

She had to ask Xiuxiu when she got back.

If Shen Anan had gone to the countryside, she could borrow some money from Xiuxiu. As an older sister, shouldn’t she help her brother?

“Old Chen’s wife, please keep an eye out for me, I’ll go raise some money!”

Coming back to her senses, Liu Cailan said to Mrs. Chen.

“Okay, you have to hurry. The price will only go up the later you wait!”

Hearing this, Liu Cailan nodded repeatedly.

Just as Shen Xiuxiu got off work and came back, she hurried over.

Shen Xiuxiu caught sight of the basin of clothes next to the faucet and knew she was in trouble, immediately trying to slip away.

Unfortunately, Liu Cailan stopped her.

“Mom, I’m exhausted today, can’t you wash your own clothes?”

She really didn’t want to do it!

Liu Cailan was stunned.

She only then remembered that she hadn’t finished washing her clothes yet.

What’s the use of having a daughter? Before she even opened her mouth, she was already refusing to wash clothes!

“You don’t need to wash! I have something to ask you.”

Knowing she didn’t have to wash clothes, Shen Xiuxiu’s expression softened.

“What is it?”

She was already annoyed!

The supply and marketing cooperative was extremely busy recently, and she hadn’t had time to go to the Huo family to make a fuss.

Liu Cailan gave a fawning smile.

Her soap-covered hands grabbed Shen Xiuxiu.

“Xiuxiu, do you think your brother should go to high school or a vocational school?”

Hearing this, Shen Xiuxiu frowned.

“Of course it’s vocational school. They guarantee job assignments after graduation. But what can we do if he can’t pass the exam?”

What was there to ask about?

What’s the use of asking if he only got into high school?

If she hadn’t been switched at birth, or if she had been reborn earlier, maybe she could have gotten into vocational school earlier!

Shen Yaozu was incredibly stupid.

It was said that Shen Anan had previously been accepted into a vocational school. She could get in, but Shen Yaozu, who stayed home all day without doing any work and only needed to study, couldn’t?

If that’s not stupid, what is it?

“You can’t say that, your brother is very smart. It’s just that Shen Anan didn’t tutor him properly.

If she had tutored him more when he was in junior high, Yaozu would definitely have gotten into vocational school now.

If he went to vocational school, he’d get a job assignment after graduation, and you two siblings could help each other, wouldn’t that be great?”

Liu Cailan said cautiously.

Soap bubbles covered Shen Xiuxiu’s hand.

Shen Xiuxiu quickly pulled away.

“Mom, what are you trying to say?”

She felt there was something more to it.

Liu Cailan retracted her hand dejectedly.

“It’s just that Mrs. Chen, who lives in our apartment building, told me that she found someone to arrange for her son to go to vocational school!

She also said that it’s hard to find a job now even if you graduate from high school.

I was thinking, if we could also find someone to get your brother into vocational school, he would have a job assignment after graduation, which would save a lot of worry!”

Find someone?

Get him into vocational school?

Shen Xiuxiu stared at her mother.

“That would cost a lot of money, right?”

“Not much, just 130 yuan. As the older sister, you give half? I’ll ask relatives for the rest…”

However, as soon as Liu Cailan finished speaking, Shen Xiuxiu’s face darkened.

“130 yuan? I have to pay half? That’s more than sixty!

Where would I get that much money! Are you crazy, Mom?”

She was truly speechless.

“Didn’t you get your salary this month…”

Liu Cailan mumbled.

“My salary is only a dozen yuan, and I haven’t even gotten it yet! New employees don’t get paid that early. If you don’t believe me, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask my supervisor!

Remember to ask a lot of questions!

Last time, your adopted daughter Shen Anan didn’t cause trouble for my job, did she? You feel bad, right?

Go ask, if my job is ruined, I’ll stay home and stare at you!”

Shen Xiuxiu yelled in frustration.

Yes.

She did get her salary, twenty-seven yuan, and some food coupons and meat coupons.

Even if some money was used to buy defective cloth for Dr. Zhang, why should she give the money to Shen Yaozu?

She worked hard for her money, why should she give it to Shen Yaozu?

Just so he could go to vocational school?

She’s not his mother!

“Xiuxiu, this… then what should we do? You can’t ignore your brother! You’re his older sister!

As a sister, you should do your best to help your brother. That’s a sister’s responsibility!

If you hadn’t gotten Shen Anan sent to the countryside, I wouldn’t be asking you for money…”

Liu Cailan sighed.

Her biological daughter might have been switched at birth, they hadn’t been together for eighteen years, and she didn’t have any feelings for her brother, so it was understandable.

She couldn’t blame her.

Shen Xiuxiu snorted coldly.

“Shen Anan? She didn’t go to the countryside, she married into the family where she worked as a nanny! Now she’s a military wife!

If you want money, ask her, she lives in the south of the city, she must be much richer than us!”

Shen Xiuxiu’s eyes lit up.

She didn’t have time to go to the Huo family to make a fuss and get Shen Anan divorced, but her mother did!

Her mother didn’t have to work!

“Mom, Shen Anan was raised by you and Dad!

You paid for her food, clothing, shelter, and education. Now that she’s getting married, she should get a dowry, right!

With the dowry money, Yaozu’s vocational school fees would be easy to solve!”

According to the Huo family’s personality, would they let you suddenly appear and demand a dowry? They probably wouldn’t give it.

If they didn’t, then they would have to make a fuss.

Then, Shen Anan would have no choice but to get divorced!

However, after hearing this, Liu Cailan frowned.

After a long while, she asked, “Anan married a military officer?”

“Yes, they’re much richer than us, I guess she’s been living a good life after running away from home!”

Shen Xiuxiu’s tone was laced with jealousy.

Why did Shen Anan always have such good luck? She was kicked out of the house and yet she met the Huo family and became their daughter-in-law…

The south of the city, only people with a little money and status lived there!

“Then I shouldn’t go and ask for a dowry, it’s good that she married into a good family, and Yaozu can get help later.

Her luck is really good, Xiuxiu, we should build a good relationship with Anan in the future!”

Liu Cailan understood this.

We need to have a long-term perspective!

Now that Shen Anan is a military wife, wouldn’t arranging a job for Yaozu be a piece of cake?

He wouldn’t even need to go to vocational school.

Even if he graduates from high school, we have connections, so can’t we still get him a job?

Hearing this, Shen Xiuxiu’s heart tightened.

Her mother meant not only not to make a fuss with Shen Anan, but also to build a good relationship?

How could that be?

What if Shen Anan reconciled with the Shen family, and if the Shen family became wealthy in the future, Shen Anan might get a share of the family property!

What about her?

She, Shen Xiuxiu, was the biological daughter!

She spent her last life in the countryside, but Shen Anan lived a good life. This life, she should go back to the countryside!

“Mom, Shen Anan will never help Shen Yaozu. We treated her so badly at the supply and marketing cooperative last time, she probably wants us dead now!”

“You’re right…”

Liu Cailan was at a loss.

Shen Xiuxiu quickly grabbed her hand, ignoring the soap bubbles.

“Mom, this is our only chance to get money. Go get the dowry money, otherwise, we’ll have nothing!”

Meanwhile, at the Huo family’s home in the south of the city.

Shen Anan was looking at a medical book, but she was distracted.

Huo Rufeng glanced over and knew what was going on.

“If you don’t want to invite your family, I’ll talk to my parents. This is our wedding, you can invite whoever you want.”

Hearing this, Shen Anan put down her medical book.

“I know Uncle Huo and Aunt Yang are well-intentioned, they’re doing this for me…”

Shen Anan felt even more headache.

That’s why she was so conflicted.

To be honest, she really didn’t want to see her adoptive parents again.

Huo Rufeng pushed his wheelchair closer.

“These things don’t matter. If you don’t like it, we don’t even have to hold the wedding.”
