After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

After lying in bed all day yesterday, Shen Nian woke up very early today. Chen Nian'an and Chen Nianle also got up very early. They needed to get up to make breakfast.

Chen Nian'an walked to Shen Nian's bedside, saw that she was awake, and reached out to touch her forehead: "Sister, you should sleep a little longer. I'll bring you some porridge later."

Shen Nian shook his head: "No, I'll get up and help you cook!"

Three people were busy in the kitchen. In fact, only Chen Nian'an and Chen Nianle were busy, and neither of them let Shen Nian do anything.

Shen Nian was standing right beside them. She felt distressed when she saw how skilled the two brothers were. She could imagine what kind of life they were leading.

"Ah!" A scream came from behind.

"Shen Nian?! You are not dead?" Li Lan looked at Shen Nian in horror, as if she saw something horrible.

Shen Nian didn't say anything either. He ran behind Chen Nianle and hid, holding on to the corner of Chen Nianle's clothes tightly as if he was afraid.

Li Lan looked at her like this, relaxed, and rolled her eyes: "A fool is a fool! Why don't you just die!"

The three siblings didn't say anything and worked silently. Shen Nian knew that now was not the time to fight back. Refuting now would only result in a beating. She was too weak and had no strength to fight back.

When Li Cui got up and saw Shen Nian's reaction, she was also shocked. But when she saw Shen Nian's empty eyes and dull and wooden expression, she felt relieved. He was just a fool!

While having breakfast, Shen Nian saw the original owner's scumbag father Chen Zhixue, who indeed had the potential to be a scumbag. He was wearing a dark blue suit, had a burly figure, a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge.

Shen Nian lowered her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that such a man was indeed very attractive to some girls at that time. No wonder the original owner's mother wanted to marry her despite her parents' opposition.

At the dinner table, Li Cui kept scolding the three siblings, but they did not refute her. They just endured it quietly and drank the plain porridge in their bowls. Chen Zhixue didn't even look at them.

After breakfast, Chen Zhixue and Li Cui rode their bicycles to work, Chen Yang went to school, and Li Lan went back to her room to continue sleeping. After cleaning up the kitchen, the three siblings also returned to their rooms. Shen Nian locked the door.

"Xiao Le, Xiao An, if I go to the countryside, would you like to go with me?" Shen Nian asked them while taking out the iron box he had put there yesterday.

The brothers were visibly taken aback: "Can we go together?"

Shen Nian smiled mysteriously: "Of course you can, I have an idea, but you have to cooperate with me."

Chen Nianle nodded without even thinking: "Sister, wherever you go, we go! We'll do whatever you tell us to do!"

Shen Nian smiled. These two children were so cute.

"Now let's see what mom left for us." Shen Nian asked the two brothers to come closer and opened the iron box.

The box was opened, and the first thing that came into view was three security locks, then a letter, and at the bottom was a passbook.

Shen Nian picked up a safety lock with the words "Peace Every Year" on the front and "An An" on the back. She picked up another one with the words "Peace Every Year" on the front and "Le Le" on the back. She handed the safety lock to the two of them and picked up the last one. The back had Nian Nian and the front had the words "Peace Every Year".

Just by looking at these three safety locks, Shen Nian could feel the love and wishes of the person who gave them the locks for the three siblings. In the original owner's memory, the safety locks were given to them by their grandparents when they were just born.

She put the lock aside and took out the letter. There was something in the envelope. She poured it into her hand and an emerald necklace appeared in her hand. Perhaps because it had been placed for a long time, the color was a little dull.

She picked up the letter:

Nian Nian, when you see this letter, mom may have already gone to see your grandparents. I'm sorry to have left you with such a mess.

When you were born, your grandmother secretly asked someone to tell your fortune. The person said that you had a calamity in your life. If you could overcome it, everything would go smoothly in the future. Otherwise, you would die in another world and our family would be destroyed.

At first, Mom didn’t believe this. She thought she had the ability to protect you for the rest of your life. It wasn’t until your grandparents passed away because of me that I realized I had always overestimated myself.

I can't protect you and your brothers anymore. My health is getting worse and worse. I don't know what will happen to you three siblings if I die too. I am very unwilling, but my unwillingness is of no use. Instead, it makes my condition worse.

The title deed to your grandparents' house is in your name, and the passbook contains the money left by your grandparents. In the following years, I deposited some more money into it. The password is your birthdays. The necklace was passed down from grandma to mom, and now mom has passed it to my Nian Nian in advance.

You must keep these well. This is all I can do. If you are lucky enough to come back and see this letter, I hope you and Xiao An and Xiao Le live well.

Mom will always love you.

After reading the letter, Shen Nian's face was filled with tears. She picked up the safety lock beside her and remembered everything before she became stupid. She was not a transmigration, she just returned to her own world. She was Shen Nian, and Shen Nian was also her. She seemed to feel her mother's deep grief.

Chen Nian'an and Chen Nianle also had tears on their faces, they missed their mother.

Shen Nian calmed herself down and opened her passbook. A house deed fell out of it with her name written on it. She looked at the passbook. The first deposit was made on the day Shen Qingqing got married. There were fixed deposits every month thereafter until her grandparents were hospitalized.

The rest of the money should be saved by Shen Qingqing herself, with both whole and small amounts. Shen Nian roughly calculated that it was nearly 3 yuan. She was shocked. In this era, having 1000 yuan was already a lot, not to mention that it was more than 2 yuan.

Chen Nian'an and Chen Nianle looked at her without saying anything. Shen Nian put the necklace around her neck, pulled her clothes to cover it, put the rest of the things back into the box and put it back where it belonged.

With these things, Shen Nian felt much more at ease. This money was enough to support the three siblings.

"Let's go find Uncle Zhang now." Uncle Zhang is the director of the textile factory. He took over after Shen Nian's grandfather passed away. He was also a soldier under his grandfather's command. He was transferred here when he retired.

Shen Nian and her two siblings arrived at the textile factory. The gatekeeper already knew them and didn't stop them. Shen Nian had often visited the textile factory before. Chen Nian'an and Chen Nianle greeted the gatekeeper and then took Shen Nian inside.

"Dong dong" the knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!" a serious and steady voice came.

Chen Nian'an opened the door: "Uncle Zhang."

The middle-aged man hunched over the desk raised his head when he heard this: "Xiao An! Xiao Le! Nian Nian! Are you here?"

Shen Nian stepped forward: "Uncle Zhang, I'm here to see you."

"Niannian, Nian Nian, are you okay?!" Zhang Aiguo stood up and looked at Shen Nian with surprise in his eyes.

Shen Nian nodded: "Uncle Zhang, I'm fine! We came here today because we have something to trouble you with."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Aiguo asked.

"I want to sell the job my mother left me. Can you help me?" Shen Nian looked at him seriously.

"Sell it? Why do you want to sell it? You are well now and can come to work. Why would you want to sell it?" Zhang Aiguo looked surprised.

Shen Nian shook his head. "Li Cui signed me up to go to the countryside so that Li Lan could take my job. You know our family situation. I've already signed up, so I can't just say no. So I thought about taking my brothers to the countryside to support the construction of our country and wanted to sell my job for some living expenses."

"Go to the countryside? Li Cui signed you up for it?! And you want to take them both with you?"

Zhang Aiguo frowned as he looked at the three siblings who looked so thin and weak. How could they come back alive after going to the countryside in this state? Li Cui didn't want the three siblings to live at all!

Shen Nian looked at Zhang Aiguo with a determined look: "Yes! I am worried about leaving them here. I want to take them to the countryside."

Seeing her determination, Zhang Aiguo could only sigh, "Your job is sellable. I happen to have a niece graduating from high school this year, and her mother is worried that she might end up working in the countryside, so she's looking for a job for her."

"That's great. It's also suitable for a girl to work in a textile factory." Shen Nian smiled and continued.

After coming out of the textile factory, the three siblings seemed in a good mood, and Shen Nian felt that his depressed mood was finally relieved a little.

At night, moonlight poured into the room through the window without curtains. Shen Nian opened his eyes and looked at the night sky, lost in thought. Mom, I will avenge you.

Shen Nian was so immersed in the conversation that she didn't notice that Xiang Lian on her chest began to get hot and then disappeared.
