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

Chapter 231 The House Was Smashed

For several days, Shen Nian stayed in the brigade and didn't go anywhere.

She learned from the team leader that Hu Tingting had woken up, but her mood was unstable and she would not let anyone into the house. Once someone entered the house, she would start smashing things frantically.

When Shen Nian heard the news, there were not many ripples in his heart. All of this was done by Hu Tingting herself, so she would have to bear the consequences no matter what they were.

"Shen Zhiqing, the eggs are packed, we can set off for the town!" Accountant Li shouted to Shen Nian who was immersed in his own thoughts.

Shen Nian came back to his senses, nodded, and smiled at Accountant Li: "Okay, Third Uncle, we'll set off now. You and Uncle Gu will drive the ox cart, and I'll ride a bicycle. I have something to do on my way to town today."

Accountant Li smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay! Once we've dealt with the eggs, you can go about your business." With that, Accountant Li climbed onto the ox cart.

The three of them set out for the supply and marketing cooperative in town. When they arrived at the cooperative, a salesperson was already waiting for them.

They quickly took the eggs off the ox cart, weighed them, and collected the money. Accountant Li skillfully dipped his fingers in saliva and quickly counted the bills. After confirming that everything was correct, he handed the money to Shen Nian.

Accountant Li then looked at his account book and smiled from ear to ear: "Shen Zhiqing, I've also recorded the account. Now you go and do your thing. Comrade Gu and I will go back to the brigade first!"

Shen Nian took the money, counted it carefully, and after confirming the amount was correct, he put the money in his pocket and threw it into the space.

She looked up and smiled at Accountant Li and Gu Jianhua, saying, "Uncle San, Uncle Gu, you two can go back first. I'll go back by myself after I finish my work."

Accountant Li and Gu Jianhua nodded at her and drove the ox cart out of the supply and marketing cooperative together.

Shen Nian turned and walked towards the bicycle. She came to the town today, not only to deliver eggs, but also to visit Xiao Nanqing's grandparents.

Passing the post office, Shen Nian stopped the car and went inside. There was no package for her, but there was a remittance slip. The amount on the remittance slip was higher than in previous months. Shen Nian took out the money and put it into the space.

Then he found a place and changed his clothes, then carried the bamboo basket and rode his bicycle through the familiar streets to Xiao Nanqing's house.

It was Xiao Nanqing who opened the door for her again. When he saw Shen Nian, a light flashed in Xiao Nanqing's eyes, but then dimmed.

Shen Nian keenly noticed that Xiao Nanqing was in a bad mood. He did not excitedly shout "Grandpa and Grandma, Sister Xiao An is here" as usual when he saw her.

Shen Nian was a little confused, but when she entered the house and looked at the scene in front of her, she understood what had happened.

Xiao Nanqing's house was smashed.

Sun Yue'e and Xiao Ruzhang were lying on the kang. Hearing the sound, Sun Yue'e slowly turned around and said, "Xiao...Xiao An, it's you."

Shen Nian quickly scanned the room and saw that apart from three living people, there was almost nothing decent left.

"Aunt, what's going on?" Shen Nian's voice was filled with disbelief. She looked at Sun Yue'e and couldn't help asking.

Sun Yue'e coughed twice before slowly speaking, "Alas, what else could it be? Those people from before are here again."

Xiao Nanqing quickly poured water for Sun Yue'e. Sun Yue'e slowly sat up, took the cup, moistened her throat, and continued:

"I don't know why they suddenly showed up again this time. They kept asking us where we kept our valuables. When they didn't get what they wanted, they started smashing things in our house."

Shen Nian looked at the two old men's frail bodies lying flat on the kang, and the quilts piled beside them had been maliciously cut into pieces.

Shen Nian couldn't help but feel a little distressed. What had the two old people done wrong? They were just victims of this era.

After looking around again, Shen Nian asked softly, "How long has this been happening?"

"It's been a few days." Sun Yue'e answered truthfully, with an unremovable sadness in her eyes.

She then said anxiously, "Xiao An, what have you thought about the thing I asked you to do before? If you feel that there is something missing, I can still give you more."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanqing immediately retorted, "Grandma, I'm not going to school. I want to stay with you and Grandpa! I'm not going anywhere!"

When Sun Yue'e heard what Xiao Nanqing said, she started coughing again in a hurry. Shen Nian hurried forward to pat her on the back to help her breathe smoothly.

After she recovered, Sun Yue'e said to Xiao Nanqing, "Nanqing, if you want your grandfather and I to die with our eyes wide open and not be able to face your parents, then you stay here!"

When Xiao Nanqing heard what Sun Yue'e said, he turned his face away stubbornly, and soon ran out of the house with his shoulders shrugged.

Seeing Xiao Nanqing running out, Sun Yue'e told Shen Nian not to try to persuade him and let him cry. He still had to go to school after he finished crying.

Sun Yue'e took Shen Nian's hand and said, "Xiao An, what my aunt said to you just now..."

"Aunt." Shen Nianhui held her hand. "The captain of our brigade has agreed to let Nanqing go to school in our brigade. However, I told him that Nanqing is my cousin. His parents died not long ago, and he is the only one left at home with his grandparents. Coming to school in our brigade is mainly to change the environment and forget those bad things."

After hearing this, Sun Yue'e's eyes welled up and she nodded repeatedly, her gratitude overflowing with words: "Hello, cousin, hello. Xiao An, thank you so much. I'm really afraid of getting you into trouble in our situation, but I also want Nan Qing to have a good future..."

"Auntie, you don't have to tell me, I understand."

Shen Nian gently tucked the loose hair on Sun Yue'e's forehead behind her ears and said, "Aunt, I still have some things on hand. I will come to pick up Nan Qing after I finish."

After hearing Shen Nian's words, Sun Yue'e felt much better in an instant. She nodded continuously and said:

"Oh! Okay, okay! Xiao An, I'll listen to you. When your uncle wakes up, I'll tell him the good news."
