Chapter 59 Why can’t I fight?
Shen Anan never dreamed that after returning to the Shen family, what would greet her was Wang Sufen's rolling pin.
To be honest, after she walked into the Shen family's gate, she was really shocked when she saw Wang Sufen rushing towards her with a rolling pin raised.
Until Wang Sufen passed her and rushed in front of Shen Yuanhao.
"Shen Yuanhao, are you itchy? I'll loosen up your skin for you!" Wang Sufen said viciously with red eyes, but she didn't swing the rolling pin in her hand for a long time.
Li Cui'er, who was standing next to her, quickly hugged Wang Sufen's waist. Shen Anan also reacted and quickly grabbed her mother's hand, trying to take the rolling pin away.
"Mom, why are you like this? My fifth brother and I just came home and you're going to treat us to boiled bamboo shoots and fried meat?" Shen Anan made a joke, but because Wang Sufen held the rolling pin tightly, he couldn't take it down.
Wang Sufen stared at her emaciated son without blinking, her eyes growing redder and redder, but she still waved the rolling pin in her hand and said defiantly, "My own son can be beaten by others, so why can't I?"
Seeing his familiar family, Shen Yuanhao's long-hidden emotions burst out. He fell to his knees and hugged Wang Sufen's legs: "Mom, I'm sorry."
Wang Sufen felt the wetness on her legs and her hands couldn't help but loosen up. Shen Anan took the opportunity to take the rolling pin away.
Wang Sufen couldn't hold back her tears and patted Shen Yuanhao on the back. "You, you, are you stupid? I raised you to this size for nothing. If someone bullies you, can't you fight back?"
"Or you could just come home. Would your family still ignore you? You, you..."
Wang Sufen couldn't control herself when she was halfway through her speech. She squatted on the ground, hugged Shen Yuanhao and started crying. The other people in the family also wiped their tears silently.
It was Shen Laiyou who came to his senses first. "Old woman, let them in quickly and make some food for the children."
"I'll go now, An An, you guys go sit in the main room first, it will be quick." Zhou Ping said as she walked towards the kitchen. Li Cui'er saw her and hurried to help.
When the whole family sat in the main room, Wang Sufen was still angry. She only spoke to Shen Anan and didn't even look at Shen Yuanhao.
Shen Anan received the pleading look from her fifth brother, shrugged and gave him a helpless look.
Shen Yuanhao remembered something and took out a large group of money from the innermost pocket of his clothes. He handed it to Wang Sufen attentively: "Mom, this is my compensation and tuition. An An also got some money from selling her job. I'll give it to you and Dad."
Wang Sufen turned her head away and ignored him.
Shen Anan pulled Wang Sufen's sleeve and said, "Mom, Fifth Brother knows he's wrong. How about you punish him by not letting him eat for a while?"
Wang Sufen reflexively retorted: "He's already as thin as a stick. If he still doesn't eat, I'm afraid I'll send him to the west..."
Halfway through her words, she saw Shen Anan's smiling eyes, and her tense mood suddenly deflated. She said to Shen Yuanhao in a bad mood: "Money, money, money, which is more important, life or money!"
Shen Yuanhao breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the Great Unity directly into his mother's hands: "Mom, take it. My tuition was also paid for by the whole family. Now that we need to build a house, we still have a lot of money to spend."
Shen Anan also pushed over a roll of the Great Unity, "And these are the money that Fifth Brother earned from selling his work."
Shen Yuanhao widened his eyes in surprise. Wasn’t the money almost spent in the Supply and Marketing Building?
Shen Anan ignored her fifth brother's gaze and stuffed the money into Wang Sufen's hand.
Wang Sufen thought for a moment and said, "Fifth Brother, this tuition fee was originally raised by our family, so I'll accept it."
"As for the nutrition fee and the money from selling your work, that's all compensation for your suffering. It's definitely yours."
Shen Yuanhao was anxious: "But..."
Wang Sufen didn't wait for him to finish and continued, "But now your eldest brother and his family really don't have enough money to build a house. After all, we are a family and we still have to help each other. I can lend them 100 yuan each from your money and ask them to pay you back later. Is that okay with you?"
How could Shen Yuanhao not agree? He nodded repeatedly: "No need, just give it to my brother and the others directly, no need to pay it back."
Wang Sufen ignored him and asked Shen Yuancheng and Shen Yuanxing directly. After receiving affirmative responses from the two, she decided on the matter.
Listening to her mother's brief explanation of the family division, Shen Anan asked curiously, "Mom, did you receive my third brother's reply?"
"He received it. He said he would listen to me and your father. He also sent two hundred dollars in the letter for his family to use for repairing the house."
Shen Anan saw that Wang Sufen was not in a good mood and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with my third brother?"
Wang Sufen sighed deeply: "Oh, nothing much, just busy this year and can't come back."
Shen Anan fell silent when she heard this. Shen Yuanjun was a navy officer and was stationed near South Island all year round. Including this year, he had not been home for four years.
"Mom, it's okay. If Third Brother can't come back, we can go to South Island to see him."
Wang Sufen shook her head. It was not that easy. It was a distance of thousands of kilometers.
As they were talking, Li Cui'er and Zhou Ping came in with food and invited the brother and sister to eat.
After Shen Anan finished eating, Shen Yuanxing, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally found a chance to speak: "Anan, big brother said you want to open a brick factory in our brigade, is that true?"
The other members of the Shen family also looked over with burning eyes, and even Shen Laiyou, who was smoking a pipe silently on the side, pricked up his ears.
"Second brother, it's not me who wants to open a factory, it's our team that's opening a brick factory." Shen Anan emphasized.
Unless her brain suddenly broke down, it would be impossible for her to do business at this time.
Moreover, it is difficult for private individuals to complete the formalities to set up a factory now. Only by setting up a factory in the name of the brigade can they get support from the commune.
Shen Yuanxing had a complicated expression, somewhat excited yet hesitant: "An An, do you think our brigade can run a factory? We don't know how to do it either."
Shen Yuancheng came back and told him about An An's idea of setting up a factory. He had been thinking about it these days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. However, there were still many unclear questions, so he was looking forward to his younger sister coming back so that he could ask her some questions.
If building a factory can improve the brigade's income, each household will be able to get more money during the New Year, so they won't have to worry about having a full meal.
Shen Anan said confidently, "Of course it will work. I accidentally got a recipe for making red bricks before, and I also asked a retired master brick maker from the county brick factory to give me some guidance. You don't have to worry about the technical aspects."
Shen Yuanxing rubbed his hands excitedly: "This, this is really great."
After transferring from the county today, Shen Anan felt a little tired.
Moreover, the construction of the factory must be discussed with other cadres in the brigade, so Shen Anan and her second brother agreed to go to the brigade headquarters together tomorrow to discuss the brick factory in detail, and then went back to the room to rest early.
