Chapter 816

"You child, it's already at this point and you're still adding fuel to the fire!" Shen Cheng said to Shen Ci with dissatisfaction.

Shen Ci said coldly: "I'm not adding fuel to the fire. The jewelry my mother gave to Grandmother is Grandmother's. Grandmother has the right to use those ornaments to do anything, and my mother won't interfere."

"But it's only right for my mother to show filial piety to Grandmother, but she doesn't owe you anything."

Shen Jingjing thought of the money she had lent to her younger brother only two months ago, and it had already been squandered by him. She was truly angry at his failure to live up to expectations.

Although she didn't think he would really use the money to do any proper business when she lent it, who would have thought it would be spent so quickly.

That was fifty yuan. In a place like Longyang, some people couldn't earn that much in ten years.

The old lady took care of her eldest son and didn't want to make things big. Although she was angry, she knew she couldn't ignore her younger son.

She took off the gold bracelet on her wrist, untied the necklace, and stuffed them all to Shen Cheng: "Go sell them and pay back the money."

After saying this, the old lady turned and entered the room.

"Auntie is still straightforward. Let's go. Now that the gold price is so high, this should sell for a lot. If it's not enough, we'll talk." Huanzi looked happy and pulled Shen Cheng away while speaking.

Shen Mingming's face was red with anger, but his younger brother was such an unreliable person. He was such a big person; scolding him was useless.

"I'll go see Mother." Shen Mingming left this sentence and went to the old lady's room.

Shen Jingjing sighed helplessly: "Let's go, let's go see Zheng Hong."

Only Shen Ci was left in the courtyard. Shen Ci sat for a while, finished eating the melon seeds in her hand, stood up, patted her hands, and went out.

In Zheng Hong's room, she was sitting on the bed wiping tears.

Taotao was comforting her on the side. Seeing Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying enter, he hurriedly stood up and greeted them: "Eldest Aunt, Little Aunt."

As soon as Zheng Hong saw Shen Jingjing, her tears couldn't stop: "Eldest sister, how can he be like this? You lent him so much money. It's only been a short time and he gambled it all away."

"He goes out to gamble?" Shen Jingjing frowned.

Shen Yingying also asked: "Since when?"

Zheng Hong cried and said: "It's been many years. Ever since he met those unsavory friends outside, he started. At first, it was small gambling, and sometimes he could win some. I didn't expect that this time he would take all the money in his hands to gamble. He's truly daring!"

"Sister, fifty yuan. He didn't even think about using this money on Taotao. He doesn't have any awareness or responsibility as a father."

The Shen Jingjing sisters looked at each other speechlessly. They hadn't been back for so many years, and they didn't expect Cheng to be even more unreliable than when he was little.

But they couldn't speak on this matter and couldn't do anything. Although they were sisters, it was Shen Cheng's own business after all.

It was just a pity for Zheng Hong.

The old lady was also furious and felt ashamed.

Especially since she didn't have the face to look at her eldest daughter's expression. It was she who insisted on helping her son ask for money from her eldest daughter. Now that such a disaster had been caused, no matter how biased the old lady was, she couldn't remain completely indifferent in her heart.

Especially since her eldest daughter had been so filial to her since coming back this time.

The atmosphere in the house remained oppressive until the evening. Usually, Zheng Hong did the cooking. Seeing that the second family had such a mess, Wang Chunyan took the initiative to go into the kitchen to cook.

When it was time to eat, Shen Ci, who had been wandering outside for a day, came back, carrying a red bag in her hand.

The dinner table was oppressively quiet. Zheng Hong didn't come out, and everyone ate silently.

Wang Chunyan set aside some food separately: "I'll go send it to Zheng Hong."

Shen Cheng raised his eyelids guiltily and didn't have the face to speak.

"Grandmother."

At this time, Shen Ci suddenly spoke. She looked at the old lady with a smile and took the bag at her feet and walked over: "This is for you."
