Chapter 417 Thwarted
It was only standing without doing any work, so it didn’t count as hardship at all. Shen Jianhua had worked himself to exhaustion at the kiln factory and still hadn’t earned that much money. In the past, they dared not even think about building a new house.
Now that he knew his daughter had such a large sum of money, all he could think about was a new tiled house.
That’s just how people are. If they know they can’t afford it, they don’t give it a second thought. But once there’s hope, it starts to consume their mind.
With the belief in building a house, Shen Jianhua’s gaze was fixed intently on the school gates. From the moment the first student walked out, he began to widen his eyes in anticipation. What he didn’t expect was that, even after Zhou Siyu came out, there was still no sign of Shen Mianmian.
As soon as Zhou Siyu came out, she first asked about the money. When she found out they hadn’t managed to get it, her mood immediately soured.
"Uncle, is Sister stupid or what? So much money, and instead of giving it to you and Aunt, she gave it to an outsider. What if that person takes the money and harbors ill intentions and doesn’t admit it? What then?"
With so much money, if Shen Mianmian took it to the city, she could live like a princess for the rest of her life.
Zhou Lanfang and Shen Jianhua were originally just worried that Shen Mianmian might squander the money once she got to the city, but now, after hearing Zhou Siyu’s words, they also began to grow anxious.
