Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.
Chapter 179 Solving the Problem
Early the next morning, Cheng Jinchu took Yunzhi to Old Lady Shen's yard without having breakfast. As for Shen Jinyi, she naturally stayed in the house. She was not familiar with the situation in the Shen Mansion yet, so Cheng Jinchu left Chengzi there specifically to tell her about it.
When Cheng Jinchu arrived at Old Lady Shen's yard, the daughters-in-law who had come to pay their respects had already left, leaving only Shen Yuning who was still accompanying the old lady to have breakfast.
Seeing Cheng Jinchu coming, the old lady was very surprised. After all, her granddaughter had never come to her so early on her own initiative, so she waved to Cheng Jinchu.
"Come! Yi girl, come and sit down and have breakfast with grandma."
As the old lady shouted this, the maids around her were very considerate and went to get new bowls and chopsticks for Cheng Jinchu. After bringing the bowls, they quickly scooped up some porridge and placed it in front of Cheng Jinchu.
Cheng Jinchu took a sip of porridge and said to Old Lady Shen with a smile.
"Grandma's food is still the best..."
Old Mrs. Shen was very happy. She liked this girl the first time she saw her. It won't be long before she will marry her favorite grandson. She felt that her marriage was perfectly arranged.
"If you like it, come to eat at grandma's place every time!"
Cheng Jinchu smiled and nodded. To be honest, the chef in the old lady's small kitchen was really good. Shen Yun was actually a very filial son. The old lady had money, and when she went out to eat delicious food, she would try every means to poach the chef.
In the Shen Mansion, originally only the old lady's house had a small kitchen. Now with the addition of a pregnant daughter, Sun Manman, the other rooms, whether it is the first room, the second room, or the third room, all have one big kitchen. Although the third room's residence is intentionally separated by a high wall in the mansion, the family has not been divided after all.
There were delicious foods, and Cheng Jinchu thought it was no big deal to make two more trips every day. Besides, the old lady loved to listen to gossip, and the people around her often told her some interesting things. She had oranges and melons, and they could share them with each other. These days would definitely be very interesting.
"Oh, by the way, grandma, Jiao'er asked me to go to the teahouse for tea this afternoon. I'll bring my sister along, because she seems to be feeling depressed lately."
Old Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Yuning who was eating silently beside her and nodded.
"Okay, this girl, I don't know what's wrong with her recently, she seems to be very worried!"
Cheng Jinchu took into consideration that Old Lady Shen might not be able to eat after listening to what she had to say, so she did not say anything during the meal. After dinner, she accompanied the old lady for a walk in the small garden behind the Shen Mansion. While resting in the pavilion, Cheng Jinchu started talking about Shen Hao.
"Grandma, I want to tell you something. It may make you angry, but I have to say it because it will affect the Shen family's business.
Cheng Jinchu and Shen Yuning each supported one side of Old Lady Shen. After helping the old lady sit down, Cheng Jinchu squatted beside Old Lady Shen and spoke softly.
Old Mrs. Shen frowned, she patted Cheng Jinchu's hand and spoke to Cheng Jinchu and Shen Yuning.
"You must be so tired squatting like that. Just sit next to grandma. Yi girl, if you have anything to tell grandma, it's okay. Just say it!"
After hearing what Old Lady Shen said, Cheng Jinchu and Shen Yuning sat down on the left and right sides of Old Lady Shen. Cheng Jinchu sighed before speaking.
"Grandma, what I want to say is that it's about my uncle!"
Hearing about her rebellious son, Old Lady Shen felt a tightness in her chest. She adjusted her mood and asked in the gentlest tone possible.
"What's wrong with him?"
Cheng Jinchu bit her lip and looked at the people around her. After Old Lady Shen sent the servants away, Cheng Jinchu approached the old lady and spoke in a low voice.
"It's like this, Grandma, I, my uncle took some silver with him before he left. You should know about this, right?"
Shen Yun did not hide this matter from Old Lady Shen, so Old Lady Shen knew about it and nodded. She had actually thought about giving the eldest son some money when he left. After all, he was her son, so how could she bear to let him go out with nothing? But since the youngest son had already done it, she didn't give him any more.
"My uncle originally took the money. Although he could no longer live the life of luxury, he could start a small business with some money. He had experience and his life would improve after all."
What he said was not wrong. Old Mrs. Shen nodded again, and Cheng Jinchu continued.
"But grandma, you also know what kind of person Qian is. Uncle didn't tell Qian that he was kicked out of the house. In just a few days, the two of them squandered all the money."
When she said this, Cheng Jinchu paused deliberately. She was observing the expression of Old Lady Shen, trying not to make the old lady sick with anger. What if she couldn't bear it and fainted? Seeing that the old lady just clenched her fists tightly and her whole body was shaking slightly because of anger, but she didn't seem to faint, Cheng Jinchu felt a little relieved.
"That woman is a nuisance. I've told him so many times that I'm his mother, why doesn't he believe me?"
Old Mrs. Shen was so angry that she beat her chest and cried. She was really angry. She knew that her youngest son gave a lot of money to her unpromising eldest son, and it had only been a short time!
"Grandma, my father ran out of money and asked me for help several times!"
Shen Yuning spoke weakly at this time. When Old Mrs. Shen heard what Shen Yuning said, she first looked at Shen Yuning in shock, and then she suddenly laughed.
"That rebellious son asked you for money? How much did you give him?"
Shen Yuning spoke while crying and feeling aggrieved.
"I saved up everything my grandmother gave me over the years. He asked for it a few times, so I gave it all to him."
In fact, Shen Yuning only gave half of it. When Mrs. Shen heard what Shen Yuning said, she took several deep breaths. After she calmed down, she grabbed Cheng Jinchu's hand.
"Yi girl, you want to say more than just this, right? You said it would affect the Shen Mansion, but these things are not enough to affect the Shen Mansion, what else is there?"
Cheng Jinchu thought that the old lady was worthy of being such an old person and she knew how to grasp the key points, so she nodded slightly.
"Yes, it was my great uncle who was really out of money, so he went to find Zhou Xin..."
Old Mrs. Shen frowned.
"Didn't Zhou Xin get fired? He hasn't returned to Pingcheng yet?"
Cheng Jinchu nodded.
"No, Zhou Xin may have really changed his ways. He found a job as a waiter. I heard that he works very hard. Although he doesn't make much money as a waiter, he finally starts to earn a living with his own hands."
Old Mrs. Shen sighed.
"This Zhou Xin, when Zhou brought him to the mansion to raise him, I held him in my arms. He was such a good child when he was young, but Zhou raised him like that!"
Cheng Jinchu did not respond to this, but continued what she said before. She knew that what Old Lady Shen disliked most was the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou.
"My uncle went to Zhou Xin to borrow money, but Zhou Xin didn't have any money, so he tricked people into pawning their ancestral jade pendant. Because it was a working contract, he only had 500 taels of silver. My uncle told Zhou Xin that he was short of money recently. Zhou Xin didn't know my uncle's current situation, so he believed my uncle. My uncle promised that he would not only help him redeem the jade pendant, but also give him three times the reward!"
At this point, Old Lady Shen understood. This meant that her son was really broke, so he went to pawn Zhou Xin's ancestral jade pendant to redeem it? He had no money, so he was just going to default on the debt. When she thought of this, Old Lady Shen felt that she had difficulty breathing and her heart was in pain.
When Shen Yuning saw Old Lady Shen like that, he quickly grabbed a heart-saving pill from the space and fed it into Old Lady Shen's mouth. Old Lady Shen swallowed the pill, and after half a day she finally felt much better.
