"..." Gu Jianbin indeed felt very surprised, but after all, it wasn’t happening to him, so he couldn’t empathize, "If your uncle and auntie have severed ties with her, what is she going to do in the future?"
"I don’t know." Zhou Siyu shook her head, helplessly saying, "Right now, she’s like a hedgehog, not giving anyone a chance to get close. When you talk to her, she just responds with sarcasm and ridicule, she’s totally unwilling to communicate. I plan to wait a few days until she’s calmed down a bit, then give her some living expenses."
"You shouldn’t worry too much." Gu Jianbin seemed to think of something, consoling her, "She’s opened a vegetable store in the market, and her income should be pretty good every month. There won’t be any problems financially." Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
His family had also run a business in the city, and no one knew better than him how easy it was to make money there. One shouldn’t underestimate Shen Mianmian’s vegetable store; the monthly income was really quite attractive.
Shen Mianmian’s newfound confidence, her fearlessness, was probably because of this.
"My sister opened a store?" Zhou Siyu looked at Gu Jianbin with confusion, "Could there be a mistake?"
"Right." Gu Jianbin nodded, "My cousin works at her store, there’s no mistake about it."
Zhou Siyu’s expression changed, no wonder Shen Mianmian was becoming more and more prosperous in the city. So, she had opened a store and become a boss. Her uncle and aunt must not know about this, otherwise they wouldn’t have severed ties with Shen Mianmian.
She lost the mood to chat with Gu Jianbin, urgently needing to call home to ask about the situation, "Jianbin, I have something to do, I need to step out. If anything comes up, we can talk about it when we meet tomorrow!"
"Okay." Gu Jianbin, without any suspicion, turned and left the school.
The more Zhou Siyu thought about it, the angrier she got. What in the world were her uncle and aunt thinking? They couldn’t even manage Shen Mianmian properly, so she huffily made a call back to her village, and it just so happened that Shen Jianhua wasn’t working that day.
Over the last few days, the anger in Shen Jianhua’s heart had gradually subsided; he had come to terms with the recognition that it had been a mistake to raise Shen Mianmian. He had also been discussing with his wife about changing Zhou Siyu’s surname. Hearing that Zhou Siyu was calling, he was indeed happy.
His wife had gone back to her parents’ house, so he went alone to Zhang Changfa’s house to answer the phone.
"Siyu, are you coming back this week? Do you still have money?"
"Uncle, I won’t be coming back this week; I don’t have much money, but with some economizing, it’ll be enough to last a week." Facing Shen Jianhua, Zhou Siyu tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, "Uncle, have you found my sister? Has she come home?"
"We found her." As soon as Shen Mianmian was mentioned, Shen Jianhua’s voice became heavy, "We’ve already severed our relationship with her, and her household registration has been moved. From now on, she has nothing to do with our family. You shouldn’t call her your sister either. I feel like I’ve raised a dog all these years."
Her household registration has been moved?
Had it been in the past, Zhou Siyu would have been thrilled to know they had cut ties, but after learning that Shen Mianmian had opened a shop in the city, she couldn’t be happy at all.
"Uncle, did you know my sister has opened a vegetable store in the city?"
"Mianmian opened a store?" Shen Jianhua was stunned for a moment, "Who told you that?"
"A classmate of mine, his cousin works in Mianmian’s store."
The calmness in Shen Jianhua’s heart exploded instantaneously. What had he raised? To think she had enough money to open a store and then sever ties with him, showing no regard for him as her foster father.
Now that Shen Mianmian’s household registration had been transferred, the whole village knew that he had cut ties with Shen Mianmian. Even if he found out that Shen Mianmian had opened a store, what could he do about it?
