Shen Han did not answer Shen Liang's words, but looked at Shen Li with some disheartenment.

Liu Dahua didn't say anything either, she just kept her head down and remained silent.

Shen Li looked at the reactions of several people. What was there to not understand? It was nothing more than that they found that she was not at home and the herbs in the yard were missing, so they thought that she had sent them to Qin Yu again.

This made her feel discouraged and angry. Didn’t they notice her changes and just made the assumption without asking any questions?

Looking at Shen Xing's anger, Shen Liang's ridicule, Shen Han's disappointment, and Liu Dahua's tacit agreement, she felt really wronged.

"Yes, I did a lot of wrong things in the past, but I have been changing little by little. Don't you realize it? You keep saying that you will give me a chance, but have you really given it to me? I am your daughter and your sister, not your enemy. Is it really necessary to look down on me like this? People who do wrong really have no chance to correct themselves?"

After saying that, Shen Li took off the basket he was carrying and placed it on the ground, then turned around and went back to his room.

She couldn't always please others, and should be tough when appropriate. Even if the original owner had done many wrong things in the past, she couldn't let them speculate and control her at will, and she had to let them face her first.

Shen Li returned to the house. The little emotion she had just felt had dissipated. She quietly came to the open window and squatted under the windowsill. At the same time, she pricked up her ears to listen to what they were saying.

"Did you guys say something too harsh?" Liu Dahua said.

"What's wrong with it? She was the one who kept saying she wanted to change, but now she's back to her old ways and she doesn't want anyone to say anything? You're actually turning the tables on me." Shen Xing said stubbornly.

"The third brother is right. If she hadn't said she would change, it would be fine if she wanted to do whatever she wanted. But now that she has said she will change, she continues to do the same things as before. This gives people hope but also disappoints them." Shen Liang said coldly.

Then Shen Han said in a deep voice: "Mom, I agree with my brothers this time. Don't you feel disappointed? It is because she is our relative, so everyone hopes that she can change for the better. Now... Alas!"

Shen Li curled her lips when she heard what they said. How could they really give her a chance? She hadn't said anything when she entered the courtyard, but they convicted her. They didn't trust her at all.

Liu Dahua stood up from the stool: "Alright, the worst that can happen is that things will return to how they were before, there's nothing unacceptable about that. Just bear with it for a few more years and arrange a marriage for her. By then, she'll have her in-laws to look after her, and we'll have less to worry about."

Shen Xing sneered, "Marry her? With her reputation like that, who would want her?"

"Okay, third brother, just listen to your mother and say less." Shen Han said.

Liu Dahua was going to get the hidden rice to cook, but she saw the big basket that Shen Li had placed in the yard, and discovered two small bags and a small jar in it.

She opened it out of curiosity, and her eyes widened in shock: "You...you three come here and take a look at these things."

The three brothers looked at her shocked expression and hurried to the basket. They saw the white rice and fine noodles inside, as well as the jar whose lid had been opened by Liu Dahua, which was full of oil. They were also surprised.

At this time, Liu Dahua spoke up: "This was brought back by Shen Li. Where did she get it?"

Shen Han analyzed calmly: "Did she sell the herbs she collected, so she bought these?"

Shen Liang and Shen Xing suddenly looked uncomfortable.

Shen Xing hesitated and said, "Brother, will it really be like you said?"

"So do you think someone would give these to her? Or does she have the money to buy them herself?"

"I... Did we really misunderstand her?"

Liu Dahua was very happy at this time. Firstly, Shen Li did not change back to the way he was before. Secondly, she did not buy anything for herself now that she had money, but instead bought food for her family. This showed that she was not as selfish as before. She did not care about their life or death, and she had them in her heart.

"You just said that to your sister, shouldn't you apologize to her?"

Shen Xing directly objected: "I won't go, and I won't apologize. Why didn't she apologize to me when she treated me badly before?"

"We were indeed wrong in this matter and we should apologize. We are all brothers and should set a good example. We should all say it when we have dinner, especially you, the third child." Shen Han said.

Shen Li listened to their words and nodded with satisfaction. He thought they were sensible and this was the right direction.

Liu Dahua ignored the three of them and picked up the rice, flour and oil to prepare for cooking. She had to make a good meal today. After all, it was Shen Li who bought it, and it was also to apologize to her.

After the meal, Liu Dahua entered Shen Li's room and saw her sitting on the bed in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. So she smiled, and because of the unnatural expression, there seemed to be a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes: "Girl, it's time to eat."

Shen Li didn't really think much about it. She looked up and saw Liu Dahua's smile. She knew that she was a little uncomfortable, so she smiled as well: "I know, mother."

Seeing that she seemed to no longer be angry, Liu Dahua breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's go."

"Ah."

The two men walked out of the room and sat down at the table. Shen Li looked at his three brothers, waiting for them to apologize to him, but after waiting for a long time, no one spoke.

Liu Dahua tried to smooth things over, "Look, I made some pancakes and mixed them with the dandelions you mentioned. I also cooked a soup with wild vegetables. They were all made with the food you brought back. Come and try it and see if it tastes good." After saying that, she took a pancake and put it in Shen Li's bowl.

Shen Li smiled and said sweetly, "Thank you, mother."

Liu Dahua also smiled, and while Shen Li lowered his head to eat, she quickly signaled to her three sons with her eyes.

"Shen Li, our attitude was not very good before, and we misunderstood you. Big brother apologizes to you. Can you forgive me?" Shen Han said with some difficulty.

Shen Li bit her lower lip and pretended to be a little sad: "Don't blame me, brother, but..." Shen Li didn't finish her words, but just looked at him.

Shen Han was stared at by those bright black eyes, and felt guilty for misunderstanding her, so she said softly, "Just tell me what you want me to do."

"Then big brother, can you please stop calling me Shen Li and call me A-Li instead?" Shen Li absolutely refused to admit that he had just acted shamefully like a cute person.

She didn't ask Shen Han to call her sister directly, for fear that he would not be able to accept it all at once, but an intimate relationship begins with affectionate terms.

"Okay, from now on I will call you A-li."

The goal was achieved, Shen Li exclaimed "Yeah" in his heart.

"Since big brother calls you A-Li, I'll call you that from now on too. Don't mind what I said just now." Shen Liang didn't seem to feel uncomfortable, but he didn't really take it to heart.

"Second brother, I don't mind." After Shen Li said this, he exclaimed "Yeah" again in his heart, it was an unexpected gain.
