”Don't bear any burdens, I really think of you as a granddaughter …” Grandma Li's voice became choked. Shen Chuxin was holding her phone and didn't know what to say.

”Grandmother …”

The person on the other end of the line hung up first.

Shen Chuxin turned around to wipe away the tears on her face, feeling warm and heavy inside.

Thus, in order to avenge his loved ones, to avenge himself … It really doesn't matter, does it?

Grandma Li was the grandmother of her dead brother and girlfriend. When their family was in ruins, it was they who took in Shen Chuxin, who barely had the courage to live on at that time. Then it was their love that moved her, brought her back, and though she had gone to France for seven years, she learned that in her belly … It was their phone call every night that had kept her company when life should not have been there that had caused her to give birth to the morning. Thus, when she was in a difficult situation, it was them who accompanied her all the way over here.

Even when she had brought back Morning with her, Grandma Li had repeatedly advised her not to hate anyone. Life was precious, life was short, so why did she have to use hatred as the motivation to live? Even if it was for them, for Chen Chen, he advised her to let it go.

Put it down? Shen Yue didn't know whether he could let it go or not.

Shen Chuxin didn't answer her uncle's call, but directly bought some fruits and went to her uncle's house after Xiaosu came back.

His aunt was still at work and his uncle was cooking. Shen Chu walked in and saw that the small house was used as a kitchen and as a bedroom. The house was less than 50 square meters. His cousin, now in junior high school, was crowded into a place where he could do his homework. He was reciting English words with his glasses on, but when he saw her come in, he lowered his head and continued.

Shen Chuxin took over the knife in her uncle's hand and started to cut vegetables. His uncle glanced at her uncomfortably and confirmed that she wasn't angry. Then, he lowered his voice and asked, ”It's early today. Is there anything wrong with the house you're working at?”

He did not conceal the meticulous planning behind his words, as if he was afraid that Shen Yue would say that she was fired.

Shen Chuxin's hands didn't stop moving. While she cleaned up the countertop, she poured some oil into the pot and said without raising her head, ”Fuming is heavy, you can leave first!” Seeing this situation, she actually started to hesitate.

What a rich man he used to be. Because of the inheritance that his father had asked his grandfather to leave behind … His family did not get along well when he went bankrupt at night.

After stir-frying, the two dishes were served with the cooked food she had bought and a plate of vinegar cucumbers she had taken. She sliced the tomatoes and sprinkled them with white sugar. When the dishes were served, her cousin was called over. When he sat down at the table, he glanced at her and smiled at her with his white teeth. ”Cousin, do you want to come over to cook every day?”

As soon as his cousin said that, his uncle patted his head, ”What are you talking about!?” Your cousin is making less than 10,000 yuan a month cooking for others. How much are you paying for her to cook for you? ”

Shen Chu handed a bowl of rice to his cousin and asked, ”You. Is Mom very busy these days? ” Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his uncle cook. A wealthy son who had fallen to his death was now living in a forty square meter house. His uncle's culinary skills could be described as absolutely tragic.

So, even a child who didn't like to talk could say something like that.

”I can take my little nephew to school, but can't I do the same?” The cousin with glasses ate a few mouthfuls of rice, ate a few mouthfuls as he talked, his eyes still looking at Shen Chuxin, and his glasses could not look away from Shen Chuxin's eyes full of expectation.

Uncle sat down at the table and took out a pack of the cheapest cigarettes, which he had ever pressed so hard. When he threw one out and took out a lighter to light it, he saw his son looking at him, so he put it away.

He picked up the bowl with his chopsticks and sighed.

The father and son avoided speaking of their aunt. Shen Chuxin had already eaten when she came over, and now seeing her uncle and cousin like this, she thought for a while and said, ”Let's eat first, we can talk about it later.” Ye Zichen lifted his hand to pick up some food for his cousin and put it into his bowl, successfully stopping the young man from speaking.

While they were eating, Shen Chuxin tidied up the house, wiping away the dust on the old furniture with a cloth, feeling that she still wasn't satisfied. After searching for a long time, she finally realized that the table that her cousin was studying on had been pushed into a corner by the sofa. She looked around a few times, and finally planned out the location of the furniture and the layout of the house in her mind.

When his uncle put down his bowl and chopsticks, he had coincidentally called him over. Together, they cleared up the space around the table that his cousin had bought at the second-hand market.

As a result, even though the room was small, it was no longer as crowded and small as it was before. In fact, it was much more spacious than before.

Seeing that his cousin still looked like he wanted to say something, Shen Chu Xin sighed and smiled to him, ”You better study hard. As for the matters of the family, they will eventually settle it themselves.” He turned around and went back to the folding table. He washed the bowls and chopsticks clean and closed the window near the dining table.

He slipped a few hundred pieces to his cousin before he left, patting him on the head and shaking his head to show that she knew. She didn't promise anything. She just asked her uncle to send her back to Grandma Li's house. Since they weren't far away, they walked all the way there.

The lanterns in the alleyway were broken every so often, and Shen Chu's heart stood still under the dim light.

”Auntie …” Did you guys quarrel? ” When she first came in, she thought it was because she hadn't gotten off work. It wasn't until the father and son kept avoiding her aunt's topic that she realized they were quarrelling.
