Daily Life in the 70s

After leaving the old house, Yang PeiMin and his group exchanged glances and then laughed.

Shen Yixiang was still buzzing with the excitement of having aggressively confronted their superior aunt.

"Looking at Jiao Gu’s embarrassed expression was enough to kill me with laughter," she said, laughing as she looked at Shen Yiguang, whose face was flushed, "Brother, how did I do?"

Shen Yiguang nodded with a smile. Shen Yixiang, still excited, turned to Chen Guizhi and said, "Mom, didn’t you realize? It was all an act, only meant to deceive you. Who doesn’t know her true intentions?"

Shen Yiyue chimed in, "I saw grandma making hand gestures while holding Jiao Gu’s hand. It looked like she was conveying some secret mission."

Shen Yidong also said, "I heard that Jiao Gu returned this time because her eldest son wants to send her to learn a craft, but it’s a difficult threshold to cross and requires money for bribes. It seems she’s planning to target us again. I only found that out because I bribed her daughter with some candy."

She had never been confident about Chen Guizhi going alone to the old house, so she had accompanied her. Being naturally suspicious, she quickly noticed something was amiss, which led to coaxing Jiao Gu’s daughter into talking.

Chen Guizhi was somewhat skeptical, "Really? I was there for a long time and didn’t hear your grandma or aunt mention anything. Maybe we got it wrong."

Shen Yixiang stamped her foot, "Mother, would you rather believe grandma and aunt over us?"

Chen Guizhi fell silent, glanced at her children with a sigh, and eventually nodded, aligning herself with her children’s side.
