Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 577 - 576: Afraid You Won’t Live to Spend It

As Shen Qinglan arrived at the Li family’s entrance, she saw Xiao Hongshi cursing and swearing as she walked over, followed by her son, Zhong Dabao.

"Your aunt is truly something else. Her daughter-in-law is from the Shen Family, yet she claims not to have thirty taels. Who is she fooling?"

"Mother," Zhong Dabao said helplessly, "though second cousin-in-law is from the Li family, she isn’t obligated to give us money!"

"Am I wrong?" Xiao Hongshi snorted coldly, "I borrowed thirty taels from your aunt, and she dared to say she didn’t have it. She doesn’t, but the Shen Family has plenty. It’s just thirty taels; couldn’t she just get it from the Shen Family?"

Zhong Dabao said with a bitter face, "Mother, thirty taels isn’t a small amount. How can it just be taken like that?"

"What do you know?" Xiao Hongshi snorted coldly, "Shen Qinglan’s bride price stretched from the town all the way to our village. I heard that even a single item is worth hundreds of taels, and all of it together, their Shen Family couldn’t spend it all in a lifetime."

Zhong Dabao forced a smile, "Even so, it’s not ours!"

Xiao Hongshi spoke greedily, "If it weren’t for someone guarding their storage room, I’d think of sneaking in to steal something to pawn. The money gained would probably be enough for you to marry a hundred wives."

"Is that so?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out, startling the mother and son in conversation.

"Which uncouth woman..."

When Xiao Hongshi saw Shen Qinglan’s face, the word "woman" was stuck in her throat.

"Th-three Miss!"

Recalling what Xiao Hongshi had just said, Zhong Dabao felt ashamed and didn’t dare to lift his eyes.

"Why... why are you here?"

Xiao Hongshi unconsciously retreated a bit, deeply fearing Shen Qinglan from the bottom of her heart.

She had later heard about the imprisonment of Niu Shi and Liang Kun. Though the Liang brothers didn’t dare to explain why, she had her guesses.

It must have been those two who crossed Shen Qinglan and were thus put away by her.

Shen Qinglan said softly, "Don’t casually covet others’ possessions, especially those of the Shen Family, because..."

She paused, and as she passed by Xiao Hongshi, she said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I’m afraid you might not live to spend it."

Xiao Hongshi shivered with fright, while Shen Qinglan had long left them behind, walking inside.

"Qinglan is here!"

Upon seeing Shen Qinglan, besides Old Man Li’s cheerful demeanor, everyone else seemed awkward.

In the past, regarding what they had done to the Shen Family, they felt fine forgetting it in front of any member of the Shen Family, but somehow, they could never quite let it go in front of Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan responded calmly and placed the bowl of meat on the table, "My mother made braised pork; have a taste."

Hong Shi coughed lightly and cautiously said, "Your mother is so considerate!"

Li Wen also laughed dryly, "Qinglan, have you eaten?"

"Yes, I have," Shen Qinglan said, "You all eat first. I’ll take the soup to my sister."

"Uh..." Rong Shi hesitated and said, "Mother just made some chicken soup and took it in earlier."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan glanced at the table and indeed saw half a bowl of chicken soup there. She thought for a moment, opened the soup container, and poured the soup for Rong Shi and Li Yan’s child.

She looked at the child and said, "Drink up."

The Li family members were momentarily stunned.

The child weakly said, "Th-thank you!"

Possibly because she had seen her beat up her grandfather when she was little, even though the child was almost eight, she was still somewhat fearful when she saw her.
