The old lady was actually not very old, only about sixty years old, but her hair was completely white, tied into a bun and pinned with a wooden hairpin. She was very thin, but her eyes were bright, and she was wearing a cotton dress with a gray background and white floral patterns.

Liu Dahua poured a bowl of water and placed it on the table in front of Old Mrs. Shen.

The three brothers were also standing not far from the table.

"Isn't this a spendthrift girl? What? She doesn't want to call anyone?" Old Lady Shen said arrogantly.

"Hello, grandma. I haven't seen you for such a long time. I was a little afraid to recognize you. Besides, although we live in the same village, if I remember correctly, you have never been to our house. I can't believe it." Shen Li said with a smile.

"Humph, although I haven't been to your house, I have heard a lot of embarrassing things about you, and you are quite a talker."

"Then there must be some improvement, grandma. What brings you here?" Shen Li asked directly. She didn't want to argue with her here. Besides, she was the elder after all. If she couldn't help but say something too extreme, it would be very detrimental to her already bad reputation.

"I heard from Yanyan and Rong that you made some kind of ointment and Yanyan likes it. Give her a few boxes."

When Shen Li heard the matter-of-fact tone, she felt as if she owed them something and became extremely angry. Although many such things had happened in her memory, it was really infuriating to see it happening in person now.

"Grandma, I have made something. If Sister Yanyan likes it, you can give it to her. It's 100 coins. No bargaining. Anyway, I will sell it to anyone."

"You ask me for money?" Old Mrs. Shen stared at her in disbelief.

"Grandma, I worked so hard to make this, it's not right for me to give it to you for free."

Old Lady Shen slammed the table with her hand, causing most of the water in the bowl to spill out. "Are you rebelling? I'm your grandmother, Yanyan is your cousin, and now that your family has moved out, you're no longer surnamed Shen? You want money for something I bought from you?" She looked at Liu Dahua again. "Is that how you taught her?"

Liu Dahua also felt uncomfortable, but she was used to enduring it, so she didn't say anything.

"Grandma, what does this have to do with my mother?"

"You shameless man, you can give things to outsiders, but your family members are asking for money. Do you think Yanyan is like you? She is the darling of our Shen family, so of course the good things should go to her. I don't want to say more to you, just take out the ointment and give it to Yanyan." Old Mrs. Shen said while holding back her anger.

Shen Li heard her words were harsh, and said unceremoniously: "What's wrong with me? I am also a member of the Shen family. Besides, I don't owe her anything. Why should I give her all the good things? Why don't you say that you are so biased?"

Originally, because she hadn't gotten the things, even though she was angry, Mrs. Shen had been holding back. But now Shen Li's words were really infuriating, so she threw the bowl directly to the ground, and it immediately broke into several pieces.

"I'm telling you, Yanyan is the lucky star of our Shen family. We all pamper her. No one can compare to her. Not to mention asking for something from you, even if she asks for your life, you have to give it to her. And Qin Yu, don't go after him. That's the one Yanyan likes. Even though he's a poor boy and not worthy of her, it doesn't matter if we make friends. Don't you see who you are? How dare you compete with Yanyan for him?"

When Old Lady Shen said this, Shen Li was so angry that her breathing stopped. She really didn't treat her as a human being.

"Mom, our Ali is also your granddaughter. Is her life so worthless?" Liu Dahua really couldn't help it. Things could be given up, but life is only one. How could she treat it so lightly?

"You are rebelling too? Well, it's only been a short time since we separated and you dare to disobey me? She is ignorant, and you don't understand either?" Old Mrs. Shen said angrily.

"I..." Liu Dahua really didn't know what to say, and she couldn't utter a word after a long time.

Shen Han was actually also angry. After all, Shen Li was her sister, and it was really harsh to hear her being treated so humiliatingly by her grandmother. However, he was used to being gentle and polite, and when faced with such a situation, he really didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only be angry.

Shen Liang was not very angry. Although these words were uncomfortable to hear, he knew that with Shen Li's current personality, he would not suffer any loss and would be able to handle it. Besides, he has always been a man of few words, so naturally he did not say anything.

Shen Xing, however, was like an angry firecracker. Although she treated Shen Yanyan as her sister, her grandmother's comparison made Shen Li seem like an insignificant person, as if he owed Yanyan since birth. This was too unfair. Besides, what happened last time made him remember to protect Shen Li.

"Grandma, you can love Yanyan, but Ali is also very important."

Hearing Shen Xing's words, Old Lady Shen was so angry that smoke was coming out of her head: "You are really rebellious. You all come against me one by one. You all protect this bitch, right? How is she better than my Yanyan? Is she worthy of you doing this? I am your elder, how dare you disobey me?"

In the Shen family, except for the old man, no one dared to disobey her. Now she felt that the second son’s family had changed and dared to talk to her like this. She had to teach them a lesson.

Shen Li was moved when she saw Shen Xing speaking for her. Her family still stood by her: "Grandma, you are the elder, and it is understandable for me to listen to you, but you treat me like a nobody and despise my life so much. I don't think it is necessary to listen to you. You came here today just to ask for the ointment for Shen Yanyan. Why are you saying so much? I have the ointment, but you have to pay for it. Otherwise, you can go back. I won't give it to you for free."

"Grandma, why don't we just buy it with money." Shen Yanyan whispered on the side. In fact, she didn't want her grandma to come here to ask for it. One hundred coins was not a lot for her. She could just buy a box when the time comes. But she didn't know how her grandma knew about it and insisted on asking for it for her.

When Shen Rong heard this, she was immediately unhappy. If she wanted to buy it with money, she didn't have it. Besides, her grandmother wouldn't buy it for her. She had exaggerated the matter with her grandmother in the past, hoping that she could come to help Yanyan to ask for it, so that she could also get a box of perfume. Now that she was here, how could she buy it again? Wouldn't she have come here for nothing?

"Grandma, look, I was right, wasn't I? Shen Li doesn't take our Shen family seriously now. She doesn't even think about the Shen family when she has good things. She can give them to outsiders, but she gave them to Li Erya. You said we are all family members, but you have to spend money to buy them." Shen Rong said angrily.

"Cousin Rong, please stop talking." Shen Yanyan said.

"Shen Rong is right, Shen Li, are you really not going to give it to me?" Old Mrs. Shen's face was full of anger.

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I won't give it to you for free." Shen Li insisted. She was not afraid of her.

Old Mrs. Shen stood up and overturned the table: "I can't even order anything. You guys are really great. Just wait for me." After saying that, she walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Grandma, I won't see you off." Shen Li said.
