Shen Xiuwan stared at the account in silence.

She couldn't understand how her father could still owe so much foreign debt at the end of the year when he had already done a lot of business through his connections with the Fu family.

He Biqing said while doing needlework: "All his money was given to your Aunt Sun and the others. Last time Yaozu came over, did you see the lapel leather jacket he was wearing? He took a boat to the Shanghai Department Store to buy it. It lasted a whole day. Thousand yuan! When Yanyan went back to her natal family, she was jealous and clamored to wear furs too, so she bought one. In addition, your grandson used a lot of money to support her natal brother and nephew, so she was in debt. ?”

Shen Xiu caressed the account book.

Many of the debts were wages and commissions owed to the embroiderers. She thought about it and paid off this part of the money first, so that these embroiderers could have a good and prosperous year.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Aunt Sun led Shen Yaozu, Shen Yanyan and Zhao Qiangsheng to the ancestral home to pay New Year greetings.

Aunt Sun smiled and said: "I was supposed to come here on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Yanyan was still at my parents-in-law's house at that time, so it was delayed until today."

Shen Yanyan permed her hair, wore a yellow fur coat, carried an exquisite bag, and wore heavy makeup. She was very different from when Shen Xiuwan came back for the funeral four years ago.

She held Zhao Qiangsheng's hand and looked at Shen Xiuwan in surprise: "Sister, you really divorced your brother-in-law? How can you be willing to let someone like your brother-in-law be the best?!"

Shen Xiuwan said "hmm" and turned around to help Yu's mother bring the dishes from the kitchen to the dining table.

Shen Yanyan chased her and said, "Sister, you shouldn't go back to Yanjing in the future, right? Qiang Sheng has a cousin who works in a foreign bank. How about Qiang Sheng and I help you talk about matchmaking? Although you are married for the second time, the other party happens to be a Widower, your ex-wife left behind three sons. Sons are a good thing. If you have more people to honor you in the future, I think you two are just right!"

Shen Xiuwan stood by the stove, looking at her with frowning eyebrows.

She knew her half-sister too well.

She is very competitive but has no ability, but she is short-sighted and vain. She wants to grab any good thing she sees, but she doesn't see her close sisters living better than her.

Her words sounded well-intentioned at the moment, but Shen Xiuwan knew that she was just laughing at herself, and even tried to step on her.

Her eyes were a little cold.

Shen Yanyan pursed her lips angrily.

Zhao Qiangsheng also coughed lightly, pulled Shen Yanyan's sleeve, and whispered: "My cousin is a gambler. He always loses more than half of his salary in the casino every month. He is not worthy of our sister."

"Whether they are worthy or not can only be determined after the two of them meet?! What if they are right?!" Shen Yanyan complained in a low voice and reluctantly followed Zhao Qiangsheng back to the dining room.

Shen Xiuwan sprinkled green onion into the stew with a pale face.

She turned her back to the kitchen door and didn't notice Zhao Qiangsheng secretly looking back at her.

Those eyes lingered on her shoulders, neck and waist, and they were definitely not clean.

The fish head and tofu soup is ready in no time.

When Shen Xiuwan walked over with the soup basin, she heard Shen Yanyan and Aunt Sun whispering at the corner.

Shen Yanyan said in a suppressed tone: "What is divorce? Isn't it just divorce? I thought she was so prosperous as a young mistress in Yanjing, but now she has come back in disgrace?! It's true that things have changed, and now she is not as good as me!! I just kindly introduced a man to her, but she didn’t appreciate it! She didn’t even think about it, how could she, a second-married woman, still marry a first-married woman?!”

"Your eldest sister's heart is as high as the sky. I'm afraid there's no man she likes in the whole city of Suzhou. That's all for now. In a few years, when she's old and old, she won't be able to get married even if she begs for help!" Aunt Sun The voice was smiling, "It's better to be strong. I heard that he will be promoted in the next year? By then, you will be able to live with the addiction of the young mistress of the official family! When you are strong and prosperous, we can find a good job for Yaozu. Let's Living a good life as a family is better than anything else!"

Shen Xiuwan held the fish head soup and looked at the mother and daughter with cold eyes.

She said: "Aunt Sun has time to chew on these words, so why not think about how to make up for the deficit of the embroidery hall. My father owes a foreign debt of two thousand yuan, doesn't Aunt Sun know?"

Aunt Sun was startled by her sudden appearance.

She and Shen Yanyan took half a step back at the same time, put on a smile, licked a strand of hair on the temples, and spoke softly to Wu Nong, saying softly: "I am a woman, I don't know anything, and I don't understand the business world. It’s something about this. Sister, I’d better go and discuss this with Dad.”

Shen Xiuwan was not surprised by her reaction. Aunt Sun loves to make little moves and gossip behind the scenes. When she is in front of others, she pretends to be extremely weak. For example, she has been dominating her father in private all these years, but when it comes to her mother, she pretends to be extremely weak. In ancient times, a concubine had a low profile in front of her eldest son.

But her father loved her feminine tone very much.

Tonight, Shen Zhongyun and Aunt Sun's family are resting at the ancestral home.

He Biqing was so happy that she wore an apron and hurried in and out, doing everything herself. She wished she had to test the temperature of her father's foot-washing water for him.

Shen Xiuwan stayed alone in the boudoir upstairs. She wanted to write a letter to Shuangshuang, but after picking up the pen, she didn't know what to write.

She was afraid that Shuangshuang would hate her.

But as the old saying goes, "If parents love their children, they will have far-reaching plans." Even if Shuangshuang hates her, she will find a better future for her.

She put down her pen and paper and picked up her crochet hook and yarn.

She knew that Shuangshuang had no shortage of clothes, but she still wanted to knit her a beautiful little cloak.

Shen Xiuwan is good at embroidery and is also good at crocheting with wool.

She dug out a foreign fashion magazine, picked out a small pink cloak with red, green and yellow yarn balls, studied it briefly, and started sewing according to the pattern on it.

Just after finishing a row of stitches, there was a knock on the door outside.

She said: "Come in."

The person who pushed in the door was Zhao Qiangsheng.

He was holding a bowl of dumplings in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm here to deliver supper to Sister Wan. Yanyan, Yaozu and the others are playing cards down there. It's very lively. Won't Sister Wan go down and play?"

Shen Xiuwan felt a little uncomfortable being alone in a room with her brother-in-law.

She nodded her chin towards the desk and said, "Thank you very much, just leave it there."

Zhao Qiangsheng put down the dumplings as he was told, but had no intention of leaving.

He stood under the flickering yellow electric light, still with a smile on his face: "It's dark at night, Sister Wan, be careful of hurting your eyes if you hook the yarn like this."

The strange feeling in Shen Xiuwan's heart became more and more intense.

She said: "If you don't go back, Yanyan will be anxious."

"I know it." There was a touch of warmth in Zhao Qiangsheng's eyes, "Sister Wan, you are much more beautiful than Yanyan. Even if you get divorced, you will definitely meet a good man in the future, so don't be sad."

The words sounded like comfort.

After he finished speaking, he took another deep look at Shen Xiuwan before leaving the boudoir with some reluctance.

Shen Xiuwan frowned.

Zhao Qiangsheng's eyes made her very uncomfortable.

She felt vaguely familiar with this look, as if she had seen it somewhere.

While continuing to weave Shuangshuang's cloak, she suddenly remembered that she had seen it on the face of Liu Manling's brother Liu Hongfa that night at Bai Mansion!

Could it be that Zhao Qiangsheng treats her...
