Chapter 750: The most correct path

"Let's see her first." Shen Jingjing said: "Let's see her first and then talk."

Shen Min followed Shen Ci's words, took a shower, and called home. Unsurprisingly, her mother on the other end of the phone started scolding her as soon as she picked up.

Shen Min put the phone aside with a numb expression, blowing her hair while letting her mother scold her.

She was already used to it.

If her parents were in front of her at this moment, they would definitely have slapped her long ago!

"What's that 'whoosh whoosh' sound on your side? I'm telling you, roll back immediately, don't let me go to Longcheng to catch you!"

After blowing her hair dry, Shen Min picked up the phone and said to the phone: "I've arrived in Longcheng. I'll find a job to earn money to support myself, and I'll call you once a week."

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to roll back! Are you at your eldest aunt's house now?"

"What eldest aunt? I'm in a hostel, I'll look for a job tomorrow."

Shen Min was very smart. She pretended not to understand directly. One was not to add trouble to her eldest aunt, and the other was that it would be difficult for her family to find where she was.

"Your eldest aunt didn't pick you up?" Her mother on the other end of the phone jumped in anger: "I'm telling you to hurry back, otherwise your father won't spare you!"

Shen Min hung up the phone directly, not wanting to listen to her mother's threats anymore.

Closing the curtains and turning off the lights, the whole room was pitch black and quiet. She wasn't afraid of the dark or the quiet. Such an environment instead made her feel at ease.

She hadn't been so quiet for a long time. Since she was a child, her ears were filled with the scolding of her parents and grandmother and the sharp and ear-piercing noise of her younger brothers.

She liked quiet.

So she fell asleep quickly.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark. She glanced at the time and it was only past five.

It was really dark early in Longcheng. Pulling open the curtains was the prosperous and brilliant night view of Longcheng, very beautiful, beautiful enough to make people panic.

But that was also her yearning. She looked for a long, long time and felt it wasn't real. She really left home and came to Longcheng. She did it.

A knock on the door sounded suddenly. When Shen Ci left, she took a room card and swiped the elevator up directly.

"Sister!" Opening the door, Shen Min called out Sister first, and then noticed Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying beside Shen Ci.

She had some impression of her eldest aunt, although the last time they met was many years ago.

"Eldest Aunt!"

"Xiao Min." Shen Jingjing was somewhat moved, looking at her with a gentle tone: "You've grown so big."

"Xiao Min, I'm your aunt, do you remember me?" Shen Yingying asked in turn.

Shen Min looked at her aunt's unfamiliar appearance, shook her head gently, and apologized: "Aunt, you haven't been back for many years, I-I don't remember much."

"It's okay, child." Shen Yingying was easily emotional. Seeing Shen Min in front of her, she couldn't help but redden her eyes: "Look at how thin this child is."

The few didn't go far, and found a dumpling restaurant downstairs.

The dumplings in the north were particularly delicious, plus a platter of braised food and two cold dishes, it was very comfortable to eat with dumpling soup.

"Eldest Aunt, I called my mom and lied to her that I didn't see you. You just say the same, so as not to let Grandmother cause you trouble."

As soon as she sat down, Shen Min told Shen Jingjing about this situation.

Shen Jingjing looked at Shen Min. She was really sensible enough to make people feel heartache.

"Xiao Min, Eldest Aunt asks you, you really don't plan to go back?" Shen Jingjing asked again.

Shen Min nodded without hesitation: "Eldest Aunt, this is the bravest thing I've done in my life, because I know I must do this."

Shen Jingjing let out a deep breath and nodded.

"Then repeat the year in Longcheng." Shen Ci suddenly spoke, saying this sentence in a light tone.

Shen Min turned her head in surprise, as if doubting she had heard it wrong.

Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying behaved naturally, because this was something the few had already discussed.

Since Shen Min came, although they didn't have the obligation to help and take care of her, it was impossible to completely stand by and watch, and it was even more impossible to send her back.

She was at the most difficult crossroads in her life now. Perhaps she only needed to be pushed gently to really help her change her destiny.

Although Shen Ci put forward this idea, what she wanted to help and could help was limited, or rather, it was measured.

"Xiao Min, your eldest aunt will pay for you to repeat the year, but you have to write an IOU for this money. When you get into university in the future, you will have the opportunity to work and study to slowly pay it back to your eldest aunt."

Shen Ci's original intention was very simple. She could help Xiao Min solve her biggest predicament, which was repeating the year in Longcheng, but everything after that had to rely on Xiao Min herself.

"Great Aunt, really?" Sister Xiao Min looked at her Great Aunt in disbelief; she had actually already prepared herself to go look for a job first thing tomorrow morning.

Shen Jingjing nodded with a gentle expression: "Eldest Aunt knows you're not easy, and also knows you're very strong. But escaping doesn't mean everything is over. On the contrary, your life has just begun at this moment."

Shen Yingying also said: "Xiao Min, Eldest Aunt and Aunt know your grievances and also support you in bravely resisting injustice. But in Longcheng, if you only work, it's really hard to change anything. You might have to continue to suffer for a lifetime."

"So your eldest aunt, your aunt, and your A-Ci sister have all discussed it. You must get into university. This is the most correct path."

Shen Min cried again. Shen Ci took paper to wipe her tears: "You don't need to worry about school matters, I will arrange everything. You have to live on campus. Your eldest aunt will transfer your monthly living expenses and food expenses to you according to the normal standard."

"You can spend it sparingly, but you must eat on time, understand?"

Shen Min cried and said: "Sister, I can work while repeating the year to earn my own living expenses..."

"It's not bad for this year." Shen Ci pulled another piece of paper and handed it to her: "This year of repeating is the most critical. If you study well, you can get into a better university and a better major. After you get into university, you can consider part-time work to earn money when you have more free time. Put learning first this year and don't let down your eldest aunt and aunt."

"Listen to your A-Ci sister, study hard, and find a good job in Longcheng in the future to stay here." Shen Yingying said.

Shen Min nodded while crying: "Thank you, Eldest Aunt, thank you, Aunt, thank you, A-Ci sister, I will definitely study hard!"

The few breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and then smiled at each other.

Everything happened suddenly, and the result was far beyond expectations, but they didn't feel any burden in their hearts at all, but were somewhat happy.

Shen Ci didn't arrange for Shen Min to go home, and didn't even tell her where her home was. She still let her live in the hotel before enrollment.

This was indeed a kind of self-protection. She didn't want people from the old home to know the current situation of her mother and aunt. Even though Shen Min was already very sensible, Shen Ci still did this.

And the old lady's blame naturally wouldn't be absent. Early the next morning, she called, complaining about how Shen Jingjing couldn't even pick up a person, and now she didn't know where Shen Min had run to. ===== CHAPTER 751 =====
