Chapter 346: Making Shen Lan Homeless

Hmph!

It is clearly his brother's path of love, so why is he so tired?

After Si Rong returned home and finished her meal, she went to find Ming Zi, who was still looking for a job.

Now is the exact point in time when educated youth are returning to the cities, and jobs are as scarce as a single radish for every hole.

It is not that easy to find one.

Previously, when Li Xuan asked her for help, she had also privately asked Ming Zi what kind of work she wanted to do, as she was more willing to help her herself.

Unexpectedly, Ming Zi was unwilling.

"We are friends, so I don't want our relationship to be unequal."

"That, if I spend all my money and still haven't found a job, it would be enough if you could just provide me a few meals."

Completely different from Li Xuan.

In two more years, the Reform and Opening-up will begin; the only work one can do now is translation or submitting articles to newspaper offices.

In her past life, when she was bored, she had read quite a few good novels that she could write.

She will wait until the Reform and Opening-up to really show her skills.

"Translation?"

Si Rong nodded, "My eldest brother has connections, and aren't you an English major?"

"I don't know if I can do it," Ming Zi hesitated; she worried that if she messed up, Si Rong would have a hard time explaining it to her brother.

"I think you'll be fine; perhaps you can try it first."

"By the way," Si Rong suddenly thought of the house—that damned house where the Shen Lan family is living is one she is renting—"have you found a place to live yet?"

Ming Zi shook her head, "I'm still in the school dormitory."

However, Luo Sheng proposed to her and even indicated that the new house was already renovated.

"Let's go! I'll take you to find a place to live!"

The first step in Si Rong's revenge against Shen Lan is to make him homeless.

Living in her house, yet every day they are over there whispering and plotting to take more advantage.

They are truly like toads—ugly in appearance and foul in their schemes.

"You mean—"

Ming Zi leaned her ear over, and after hearing Si Rong's words, she nodded.

"There should be half a year's rent left," Si Rong calculated, "If you don't live there, you're just letting that disgusting bunch of the Shen family take advantage!"

"I'll live there!" Ming Zi thought that marrying Luo Sheng now made her feel a bit uneasy.

Later, when she has achieved success, she will slowly and quietly return all the favors Si Rong has given her today.

The two of them first went to find the owner of that small courtyard; the landlord was originally a good friend of Si Rong's father, and upon hearing about that guy's shameless deeds, he immediately had his two tall and sturdy sons go with Si Rong to drive that disgusting guy away.

"Brother, when exactly will Si Rong agree to marry you?"

Shen Yun looked at her brother sitting on the sofa without moving and felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"She doesn't want to marry, what can I do?"

"If she doesn't want to marry, you should go think of a way to make her want to!" Shen Yun was angry at his lack of ambition.

Originally, she had started chatting with a somewhat handsome boy, but after the other party heard that Si Rong had called off the wedding with her brother, he stopped paying much attention to her.

This made Shen Yun feel that it was all her brother who delayed her marriage prospects.

"I'll have a way soon."

Shen Lan remembered the packet of medicine in his room; Zhu Yun said that the medicine was particularly harmful to women, and using it might affect a woman's fertility and such.

"You child," Shen Mu scolded her daughter, "If your brother says there is a way, then there certainly is a way. Hurry up and shut your mouth!"

She had always felt that her son was very capable, and Si Rong surely wouldn't dare to be angry for too long.

Shen Yun snorted coldly and muttered, "Partial."

"You all had better get married quickly, and then we can move to the Si Family to live!"

Shen Yun sat on the sofa and began to fantasize; although this house didn't leak wind or rain, it certainly couldn't compare to Si Rong's house.

"I heard their family even has a nanny; women don't even have to cook or do housework."

"These capitalist young ladies really know how to enjoy life!" Shen Mu scolded, "They don't have a shred of our rural people's spirit of enduring hardship! Son, will the wife you marry later bully your mother when she comes home?"

How can a woman not know how to cook?

She had been cooking for half her life and certainly wouldn't be able to stand it.

"She won't," Shen Lan said very firmly, "My wife must be filial to you."

The Si Family didn't teach Si Rong the rules, so he would slowly teach her later as her husband.

Just then, the door was knocked upon.

"Who is it?"

"Me." Hearing Si Rong's voice, the Shen family was very pleasantly surprised.

Shen Mu didn't even bother to put on airs and trotted over to open the door.

"Brother, you really have ability!" Shen Yun admired, "You actually made Si Rong come to find you on her own!"

Shen Lan pursed his lips, finally feeling relieved in his heart; it seemed that Si Rong had decided to step down the stairs he had provided.

She also knew that his patience had its limits.

This was good for everyone.

Shen Lan returned to his room nonchalantly and put the packet of medicinal powder into his pocket.

Although Si Rong had already realized her mistake, Shen Lan felt that it was still better to be foolproof this time.

"Ah—!"

A scream from the younger sister rang out in the courtyard, and Shen Lan hurried out to see two burly men pushing her to the ground.

He said furiously, "What are you doing breaking into my home?"

"Your home?" Si Rong was somewhat impressed by his skin, which was as thick as a city wall. "This is a house I rented. I want you to move out immediately; you have half an hour, otherwise—"

"Otherwise we'll have to take action!" one of the burly men threatened in perfect coordination.

Shen Lan stared at Si Rong in disbelief; he simply could not believe that Si Rong would take things to such an extreme.

Did she know that by acting on a momentary impulse like this, Mother and the younger sister would never accept her again?

"Si Rong, stop being so willful!" he urged with restraint. "Tell them to leave quickly, and then apologize to Mother and the younger sister."

"Shen Lan, is your brain clogged with excrement?" Ming Zi was almost laughed to anger by him. "I think you should have your mother apologize to the whole world for giving birth to such a shameless idiot!"

Si Rong:...

Her sister's lethality was still as strong as ever.

With such a talent for language, it was truly a pity she married Luo Sheng; she was practically a born translator.

Shen Lan was practically dying of anger.

"I won't leave! I won't leave!" Shen Mu sat on the ground and began to throw a tantrum. "You are just bullying an old woman like me! This is my home, why should we have to leave?"

"You goddamn bastards! I am not leaving!"

Shen Lan felt embarrassed; he wanted to help her up, but Shen Mu wouldn't let him. "What kind of lousy daughter-in-law did you marry? She hasn't even entered the family yet and she's already starting to bully her future mother-in-law. Why is my life so bitter? Old Shen, you'd better hurry up and take me away too!"

"Don't be in such a rush," Ming Zi said unhurriedly. "Perhaps when he sees you being so disgraceful, he'll crawl up from the ground tonight and take the three of you away together."

"Enough! Stop insulting us! We'll leave, is that not enough?" Shen Yun went into the house to pack her luggage.

Shen Lan thought this tactic of retreating to advance was quite good, so he followed suit and started packing.

After packing, the brother and sister helped Shen Mu up from the ground.

"Si Rong, we won't stay in your house; from now on, we are even!" Shen Lan turned around at the doorway with determination.

In his imagination, Si Rong would regretfully ask them to stay and apologize in the process.

When that time came, he would find an opportunity to put that medicine into the water, and the deed would be done.
