And these people who are standing here now, taking advantage of him under the guise of relatives and friends, gathered around Old Shen Feng like flies, showing great attentiveness.
But no one helped Lao Shen even a penny when he was in trouble. Their hatred of the rich and their ugly faces were fully brought out. After knowing that Lao Shen was bankrupt, they might even celebrate with great fanfare and set off firecrackers. !
"Tangtang, take Xi Xi home first!" Shen Changqing looked at his niece with a loving smile.
He liked this niece very much, and the relationship between his niece and his daughter was as good as the same person. But it was a pity that when they were fourteen years old, the good girl in their family suddenly disappeared one day and went to all places. I went to the hospital and did countless tests, but I couldn't find the cause and couldn't cure it.
Shen Tang pulled Shen Xi and smiled sweetly: "Let's go."
The second uncle came back to pay homage to his ancestors last time. Xi Xi had to make up classes at the last minute and couldn't come back. She felt very regretful. The second aunt asked her to follow him to the capital. She was afraid that she was a blind man who couldn't see anything, so she went there to give him a lesson. They cause trouble.
A group of people joining in the fun looked at Shen Tang with different expressions, ranging from sympathy to disdain to contempt. A few women not far away started talking in low voices.
"How many blind dates has she had during the Chinese New Year this year?"
"It hasn't stopped since the twelfth lunar month, I think there are several coming one after another."
"Isn't there anyone she can like?"
"I have a high opinion of myself. I have such a rich uncle and such a powerful sister. I can't choose between them!"
"She, a blind person, is picking on others. If others don't pick on her, just burn incense!"
…
Shen Xi, who had just walked to the door, stopped suddenly, glanced over like a cold blade, looked at the group of talkative women with a dangerous warning, and let go of Shen Tang's hand.
The women who were talking felt a chill down their spines, their scalps instantly became numb, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads in just an instant. They looked around with a guilty conscience, and found Shen Xi's cold eyes on them, and they were so scared that they stopped. Mouthed.
"Xi Xi." Shen Tang's hearing has gotten better day by day since she became blind. Naturally, she also heard the gossip. He held her hand and smiled a bit bitterly: "Let's go home and don't listen."
What did you do after hearing those words? If they like to talk, let them talk.
Shen Xi really wanted to cut out their tongues to let them know the consequences of chewing on people's tongues.
Shen Tang took Shen Xi away.
A group of women, seeing them leaving, snorted disdainfully and started chatting again after a while.
Such a beautiful girl, it's a pity that she is blind.
She is blind, so she should have some self-awareness, but she has high vision. She can't look down on boys from ordinary families. She has arranged many blind dates, but none of them have succeeded. She wants to marry a god, but she can't.
Shen Xi and Shen Tang have been close since childhood. They are the only two girls in the family. Shen Tang is five years older than her. He teaches her to walk, sing, dance, draw, and play with her. They are inseparable. of.
However, after Shen Tang suddenly became blind, he suffered a great blow. His temperament became more and more quiet and introverted, and he did not leave the house much. The relationship between the two sisters has always been very good.
Later, Shen Xi learned to dance. After going to the capital, he returned to the Su family and never saw each other again.
Shen Xi knew her later fate from books.
There were no Spring Festival couplets posted at home yet, so Shen Changqing told Yun Jinping in advance that when they got home, Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan were responsible for writing the Spring Festival couplets.
Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan became tools for writing Spring Festival couplets again.
Shen Feng and Shen Tang were helping.
Shen Tang couldn't see it, but he was very clever and could do anything. After trying to cut paper with a ruler twice, he quickly became proficient at it.
"Hey, the great dancer is writing Spring Festival couplets!"
"Come on, come on, the daughter of the Shen family is writing Spring Festival couplets. The words are so beautiful."
"It's more beautiful than the one I bought. Evergreen, let Xi Xi write a Spring Festival couplet for us!"
I don't know who passed by the door of Shen's house and saw Shen Xi and the others writing Spring Festival couplets. I don't know who came up with the idea. The neighbors gathered around and asked for Spring Festival couplets.
Shen Changqing has a good temper, and he feels sorry for his daughter, but he also thinks about the unfavorable rejection from his neighbors: "Xi Xi, just write a Spring Festival couplet for each of my uncles to celebrate."
Chen Xi nodded, glanced at Fu Qingxuan, and said quietly: "If you don't want to write, you can go back and rest."
She could not think about any messy feelings about her hometown and just start a fight and tell them to get lost, but she had to think about her parents. Even for them, she had to write these Spring Festival couplets.
Fu Qingxuan: "I'll write."
But those who came around to ask for Spring Festival couplets had to be written by Shen Xi, and they only wanted to be written by her.
This writing continued until the evening, and there was no shortage of Spring Festival couplets. More and more people came to ask for Spring Festival couplets, almost crossing the threshold.
Shen Changqing is a person who is very nostalgic for old friendships. He remembers that they are all from his hometown, so he placed several tables in the yard and served them delicious food and drinks.
However, this group of people took his kindness for granted. They came here not so much to ask for Spring Festival couplets as they came to eat and drink. After finishing the food, they shouted for more. They really thought it was their own home.
Shen Xi's writing hand almost cramped.
Fu Qingxuan looked at her distressedly, almost going berserk. He knew who the neighbors were. They said they were here to seek good luck and happiness, but they looked more like debt collectors.
Shen Changqing felt sorry for his daughter. He looked at the people standing in the yard and blocking the door. Many of them didn't know where they came from and didn't recognize them. He still said politely: "Neighbors, I'm sorry it's so late. , I won’t write today. My daughter is also tired. Please be considerate.”
"You've all written for others, why don't you write for us?"
"Just writing a few words, how tired can it be? We have come all the way here and have been waiting for so long. I think you just don't want to give it to us!"
"Shen Changqing, you are rich and your daughter is successful, but you just look down on us poor people, right?"
Someone took the lead in making a fuss, and as if they were fed by gunpowder, they stopped writing, couldn't get the Spring Festival couplets, and were unhappy.
Shen Changqing was the last person who wanted to offend his hometown people, but he was annoyed when he heard them speak so unpleasantly: "My daughter only has one pair of hands, how can I write so much? If any of you want it, just let Afeng and the others write it." Here it is, if you don’t want it, please leave.”
"That won't work. We just want the words written by the dancers."
"What kind of attitude do you have? It belongs to fellow villagers. If others can have it, we can't have it, right?"
"Yes, the words written by the dancer are posted on the door of my house. It brings joy. Maybe there will be a dancer in my family."
The law does not punish everyone, but someone takes the lead. Even if the remaining people are guilty, they become righteous and confident. It is obvious that they are acting rogue. It is natural that their greedy and ugly faces are exposed. They will not leave until they are given, and they will rely on them.
Fu Qingxuan was so angry that he clenched his fists, and his narrow phoenix eyes flashed with fire. What were they? Poor mountains and harsh waters lead to unruly people. What he said was true.
The look in Shen Xi's eyes was cold, filled with a bit of chilling blood. He slowly put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, and was about to speak.
Shen Tang, who had been very quiet all this time, suddenly spoke up. The clear voice was very pleasant: "The person who cut the paper is blind. If you put it on the door, aren't you afraid that there will be a blind man in your family?"
Please give me a ticket. Good night. I’ll let you go tomorrow during the New Year’s Eve.
