Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Well Done Sometimes, fate between people is like this: when you seriously look for someone, you can’t find them, but when you stop looking, they appear right in front of you. Like right now. As the father and daughter duo turned their heads at the sound of someone calling, they saw Shen Qingning and Li Wei, each holding a bowl of noodles, joyfully walking over. "Qingning, Xiao Wei, why are you here?" After sitting down, Shen Qingning said, "Aren’t I supposed to go home soon? Brother Wei asked me to take something back for Grandpa Li." "Uncle Shen, Qinglan." Li Wei greeted them and then took his seat. "Qinglan, you’ve finally recovered! Second brother was planning to buy something to take back for you." Shen Qingning looked at Shen Qinglan, eyes full of happiness. "No need, no need." Shen Shan laughed heartily: "She’s well-off now, working at Shengxiang Restaurant for a monthly wage of ten taels." "Ten taels!" Shen Qingning and Li Wei exclaimed in surprise simultaneously. Shen Shan nodded: "That’s right, I went to ask today, and Shopkeeper Tang said it’s true." After the shock, Shen Qingning smiled and said, "Dad already told me about Qinglan’s fortuitous event. I always thought our Qinglan was destined for great things, and it turns out I was right!" "With such a high wage, I wonder what kind of job Qinglan is doing at Shengxiang Restaurant?" Li Wei asked. Shen Qinglan replied, "Bookkeeping." Shen Shan nodded with a smile: "Yes, bookkeeping!" Li Wei knowingly nodded: "Qinglan is truly impressive, even knows how to do accounting!" "Uh, well... Qingning, there’s something I want to tell you." Thinking of Shen Qinghe’s situation, the smile on Shen Shan’s face faded, leaving only worry and sighs. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 "What is it, second uncle?" Shen Qingning looked at him, puzzled. "Originally, I was going to wait for your father to come and talk to you, but since we ran into you, I’ll tell you myself." With that, Shen Shan explained the Zhou family’s matters in detail. "The Zhou family has gone too far!" Li Wei couldn’t help exclaiming in anger after hearing it. "Despicable!" Shen Qingning held back for a long time, finally blurting out these two words with red-rimmed eyes. "I’m going back right now; I’m going to the Zhou Family Village to tear Zhou Bo to pieces!" Shen Qingning slammed the table. Shen Shan said, "Your sister Qinglan already gave him a beating." "Really?" Shen Qingning had already heard about Shen Qinglan’s feats from Shen He and was surprised when he first heard it. He was quite afraid of Zhou Si and that group; they are capable of anything. No, it’s not Zhou Si’s group he fears but rather Sun He. Sun He acts ruthlessly and doesn’t show any mercy. He once saw someone who didn’t want to mix with Sun He’s group, and Sun He crippled them. He’s also afraid of being forced by Sun He to join their group, which is why he seldom goes home. Shen Shan nodded, "Yes, I heard he’s badly injured and will have to lie in bed for a year or half before recovering." Shen Qinglan glanced at Shen Shan in surprise, thinking that he hadn’t heard Flower Granny’s words, but unexpectedly, he did. "Qinglan, good for you!" Shen Qingning laughed heartily. Shen Qinglan acknowledged with a sound and said, "Second cousin, try to persuade cousin more when you get back. I heard from Aunt that she listens to you the most." The age difference between Shen Qingning and Shen Qinghe isn’t much, and Shen Qinghe used to like following Shen Qingning around when she was little, always taking his word to heart. "I will!" Shen Qingning sighed: "I told my mother long ago that Zhou Bo is unreliable, but she didn’t believe me and insisted on setting this engagement for Qinghe." Li Wei said, "Qingning, it’s already like this, there’s no point in saying much. Just try to talk some sense into Qinghe when you get back."
