Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Great-Granddaughter-in-Law
Because a dog had been added to the family, Shen Zhaozhao had even less interest in doing her homework.
The first thing she did after school was to play with the dog every day.
“Shen Zhaozhao, if you don’t start taking your homework seriously, I’m going to take the dog back,” Sheng Chuyi would threaten her with Ermao every time.
Shen Zhaozhao’s ears had almost grown calluses from hearing it so often: “I know, I know, I’ll write, I’ll write right away. Yiyi, you’re becoming more and more like my dad!” The little girl sighed earnestly.
In the blink of an eye, the first half of the new semester had passed, and the two started their new winter vacation life.
This year, both families were preparing to go back to the countryside for the New Year.
The Shen and Sheng families lived in the same town, not far from each other. On the first day back to the town, Shen Zhaozhao greeted her grandparents and other relatives, then ran to find Sheng Chuyi.
“Zhaozhao is here!” The Sheng family was very familiar with her since childhood because of the relationship between the two families.
They greeted her with a smile as soon as they saw her.
“Hello, Old Madam Sheng,”
“Hello, Grandpa Sheng, Grandma Sheng,” Shen Zhaozhao also greeted the elders of the Sheng family politely.
“Here comes our great-granddaughter-in-law, come here, Old Madam Sheng has prepared a big red envelope for you, and left you lots of delicious things,” Old Madam Sheng, who was already in her eighties, always called her great-granddaughter-in-law when she saw Shen Zhaozhao.
“Thank you, Old Madam Sheng!” Shen Zhaozhao, always sweet with her words, managed to make the old lady very happy every time she visited.
By the time she left, her pockets were stuffed full.
“You two go out and play!”
Since it was New Year’s Eve, the adults had a lot of things to do and simply sent them away.
Coming out of the Sheng family, Shen Zhaozhao said to Sheng Chuyi, “Yiyi, let’s go play with firecrackers!” She had seen lots of kids playing with them on her way over.
“No,” Sheng Chuyi refused.
“Why not?” Shen Zhaozhao asked further.
Sheng Chuyi: “Childish!”
“But I want to play, and we are kids anyway.” A baby of over a hundred months is still a baby.
“Come on, let’s go!” Shen Zhaozhao dragged him to the small store where they not only bought firecrackers but also a bunch of sparklers, planning to save them for the evening.
There was a large open space in front of the Shen family’s house, and Shen Zhaozhao purposely pulled Sheng Chuyi there to play.
“Sister, I want to play too.” They had just started playing when they encountered a little kid from the neighbor’s house of the grandparents.
A seven or eight-year-old boy, sturdy in appearance, looking at the firecrackers in her hand, he directly asked for them.
“No, you’re too young, it’s not safe,” Shen Zhaozhao refused.
“No, no, we want to play.” Upon being refused, the little kid simply sat down on the ground and started being stubborn. It was apparent that he had often used this tactic to threaten adults.
Shen Zhaozhao was not one to indulge him, letting him throw a tantrum on the ground.
However, the crying of the kid summoned the adults from the house.
Soon, they saw the little old lady from next door coming out at a quick pace, saying, “My precious grandchild, what’s the matter? Who’s bullying you?” After saying this, she didn’t forget to give Shen Zhaozhao and Sheng Chuyi a glare.
It seemed she had already decided that it was the two of them who had bullied her precious grandson.
“Grandma, it’s them bullying me.” The little kid pointed his finger, crying and saying, “They won’t let me play. I want to play too, I want to play…”
“Play, play, play, Grandma will buy it for you. Whatever my sweet grandchild wants, Grandma will buy for you,” consoled the little old lady hastily.
“No, I want to play now. I don’t care; I want it now, now…” The kid was kicking his legs, throwing a tantrum, and protesting.
