At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Shen Yixiao was speechless.

He definitely chickened out just now.

Lin Yufei has been going to the hospital every day for the past few days to take care of him under the guise of being a friend.

In the eyes of his best friend Wang Yunpeng's family, as well as the doctors and nurses, she was practically his girlfriend.

Now it's time to part ways.

Shen Yixiao suddenly felt as if he had become a "heartless man".

Just like in some martial arts novels, the male protagonist is knocked off a cliff and seriously injured, but is rescued by a kind girl.

During her recovery, the girl develops feelings for the male protagonist.

After his injuries healed, the male protagonist simply packed his bags and left.

"At least send Yufei a WeChat message!"

Shen Yanran spoke again.

Shen Yixiao pouted and complained, "Shen Yanran, when did you become so nagging!"

"Fine, I can't be bothered with you!"

Shen Yanran turned her head away and started playing on her phone.

Shen Yixiao silently opened WeChat, clicked on the chat box with Lin Yufei, considered for a moment, and sent a message: Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I hope to visit Sanjiang sometime!
Lin Yufei replied quickly, but only with three words: "Depends on my mood."

Shen Yixiao frowned, completely at a loss for words, silently thinking to himself: What are these girls thinking?
the other side.

Lin Yufei returned to her dormitory.

Kong Xiaoyi, who had just woken up, yawned: "They're gone?"

"Ah."

"I can hardly believe it. Was your breakup some kind of scene from an idol drama?"

Kong Xiaoyi asked curiously.

"Ah……"

Lin Yufei snorted and put the breakfast she bought on the table. Then she tossed the two steamed buns in the plastic bag to her friend who was half-lying on the bed.

"Did that scumbag Shen make you angry?"

As she asked the question, Kong Xiaoyi opened the plastic bag and happily took a bite of the steamed bun.

"He just sent a WeChat message."

"And it was very perfunctory."

Lin Yufei said angrily, then smashed the tea egg in her hand.

"say what?"

"Just tell me to go to Sanjiang when I have time."

"So how did you respond?"

"depend on mood."

"Well, well done!"

While chewing on a steamed bun, Kong Xiaoyi complained, "You saved him, took care of him for so long, and even took him to see the flag-raising ceremony, yet you didn't offer him any emotional support!"

"What a scumbag!"

Lin Yufei took a big bite of the tea egg, as if venting her anger.

How are things between you and Wang Yunpeng?

After finishing a tea egg, Lin Yufei changed the subject to her best friend.

"Nothing happened."

"He's an African, and he's kind of stupid!"

I don't think we're a good match!

Kong Xiaoyi gently shook her head.

After spending a few days together, she developed a slight liking for Wang Yunpeng, but not to the point of liking him. Especially after meeting Wang Yunpeng's parents, she felt that she and Wang Yunpeng were from two different worlds.

Kong Xiaoyi was born into a highly educated family; her mother is a lawyer and her father is a university professor.

Wang Yunpeng's parents were just small car wash owners. Although they seemed nice, their perspectives were completely different.

"You think his family isn't well-off, right?"

Lin Yufei knew Kong Xiaoyi well. Her best friend wasn't exactly materialistic, but she was quite pragmatic. She had always said that even when dating, one should be "well-matched."

Children from families like Lin Yufei and Kong Xiaoyi actually "get to know" society earlier than children from ordinary families. Because of their family background, the relatives and friends around them or the people they come into contact with along the way are likely to be at the same or higher level.

I understood the concept of "birds of a feather flock together" from a very young age.

They are mostly surrounded by so-called "academic cliques," "medical cliques," and "political families."

Lin Yufei is essentially a "legalist".

Even if she didn't get into Beijing University of Political Science and Law, as long as she could get into a law program at an ordinary university and pass the bar exam, she wouldn't have to worry about finding a job, and she would have a lot of options.

Her parents had already paved the way for her.

Kong Xiaoyi is in a similar situation, so it would be difficult for her to find a boyfriend who attends a "diploma mill" because of the practicalities involved.

Even though she had some affection for Wang Yunpeng, that "African," the gap between them was simply too vast.

"His parents own a car wash."

"Wang Yunpeng will most likely inherit his parents' car wash business. I don't want to be a car wash owner's wife in the future."

Kong Xiaoyi sighed, then looked at Lin Yufei and asked, "Yufei, do you think I'm too materialistic?"

"A little."

"What if Shen Yixiao and Wang Yunpeng's family circumstances were switched?"

Will you still like him?

Kong Xiaoyi posed a soul-searching question.

"The night I met him, I didn't know his father was a famous writer."

Lin Yufei looked up at the few pink roses she had placed in the vase and murmured, "I just think this guy is kind of handsome, but also kind of pitiful. Suddenly I really want to get to know him."

"Don't you think this is what they call love at first sight?"

Kong Xiaoyi rolled her eyes and sighed, "Sigh, I didn't realize before that you were such a love-struck person!"

Nine p.m.

Shen family.

Shen Qiushan returned to his long-lost home with his two children.

"Xiaoxiao, what happened to you?"

"How come you're in a wheelchair after going to Beijing!"

Upon seeing his eldest grandson sitting in a wheelchair, Old Shen, who had been watching a live stream featuring a beautiful woman, quickly put down his phone and approached Shen Yixiao with a pained expression.

"Injuries sustained while acting bravely and righteously."

"The doctor said it's not serious."

Not wanting to worry his father, Shen Qiushan didn't tell him why he was going to the capital.

"If it's not serious, why are you in a wheelchair?"

Old Shen asked with a worried look, "Xiaoxiao, are you sure it's just your leg that's injured, and nothing else?"

As Old Shen asked the question, he subconsciously glanced down at his eldest grandson's abdomen.

His eldest grandson was the only son of the third generation of the Shen family, and he was counting on him to carry on the family line.

We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes!

"Sir, what are you thinking?"

"It's just a minor fracture, it'll heal quickly!"

Shen Yixiao, who instantly understood what Old Shen meant, was speechless for a moment.

"That's good, that's good!"

Old Shen let out a long sigh of relief, then patted his eldest grandson on the shoulder: "Go back to your room and lie down, get some rest!"

"Dad, don't worry about him, the boy is perfectly healthy!"

"All those years of sports training haven't been for nothing!"

Shen Qiushan comforted his father and then escorted his son back to his room.

"Dad, I need to tell you something."

Back in the living room, Shen Qiushan sat down next to his father on the sofa: "I recently bought a house in Jinjiang Bay, 360 square meters, and I'm planning to move there."

"You should quit that job and then just enjoy your life."

"A 360-square-meter house?"

"How much would that cost?!"

Old Shen was shocked, but he immediately muttered, "Dehua said that you're rich now, so you're not short of money."

"However, I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay here!"

"You can move there with Xiaoxiao and Yanran! Just save me a room. I can come and stay for a couple of days whenever I miss you."

"Dad, the environment over there is much better than here."

"Alright, I said I'm not moving, and I'm not moving!"

Old Shen waved his hand to interrupt Shen Qiushan: "I'm used to living here, and besides, Dehua is downstairs, so it's convenient to take care of her."

"I won't quit my job, it's not tiring. If I don't work, I don't know what to do!"

"Fine, whatever makes you happy."

Shen Qiushan understood his father's temper and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Qiushan, you've achieved success in your career now, and Xiaoxiao and Yanran are grown up. Find someone suitable for yourself; you can't stay single forever."

Old Shen then spoke quite seriously.

"Ah."

Shen Qiushan nodded.

At his age, it's actually quite difficult to get to know someone new and have a serious relationship.

The most likely scenario is finding someone among acquaintances who shares similar values, interests, and is someone you feel comfortable with.

The best candidate right now would be Lin Xiamo.

However, due to their special relationship, neither of them had the courage to take that crucial step.

We can only let nature take its course.

Just as the father and son were chatting, the front door was suddenly opened.

Shen Dehua entered the house: "Brother, you're really back. I was wondering if I heard your voices earlier."

"Well, I just got home."

"How is Xiaoxiao? Is it serious?"

Shen Qiushan had informed Shen Dehua before going to the capital, explaining the reason for her trip, so she knew about Shen Yixiao's fracture.

"So you were keeping it from me all along!"

Old Man Shen curled his lip.

"It's nothing, I'm lying in my room."

"Then I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, Shen Dehua entered Shen Yixiao's room.

"Qiu Shan, is your relationship with Lin Lao Er unusual?"

Old Shen asked again.

Who is Lin Lao Er?

Shen Qiushan looked suspicious.

"Lin Xiamo."

"Uh"

Shen Qiushan was taken aback; he had never imagined that Lin Xiamo's name could be called in such a down-to-earth way.

But thinking about it carefully, there's nothing wrong with calling him "Dad".

Lin Xiamo is the second of the three Lin sisters.

Lin Lao Er's reasoning is quite reasonable.

“During the previous gathering, your father-in-law got drunk and specifically pulled me aside to tell me to keep an eye on you and not let his family cause trouble.” Shen Qiushan’s lips twitched. His father-in-law actually said such a thing.

"Brother, is Xiaoxiao going to skip school for now?"

“Starting tomorrow, I will make him bone broth every day.”

At this moment, Shen Dehua returned to the living room after visiting his nephew.

"Going to school won't be affected."

"I bought him an electric wheelchair, and he also has crutches!"

The doctor said that as long as he pays attention, it won't affect his classes, so Shen Qiushan doesn't plan to spoil his brat.

"You're still in school!"

"You're in university now, taking a month off shouldn't be a big deal."

Shen Dehua felt a little sorry for his nephew.

"You have to study hard in college too."

"Do you think Sanjiang University is an ordinary university? Taking a month off might delay your graduation."

Shen Qiushan said seriously.

"Sigh, then you should take good care of him at school."

Shen Dehua sighed: "Brother, you should get some rest. You've been up all day."

Shen Dehua just came to take a look, and seeing that his nephew was alright, he prepared to go home.

"Dehua, I'll go with you."

"I have something to tell you."

Shen Qiushan left the house with his younger sister.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"You're still hiding this from Dad? Is Xiaoxiao's condition really that serious?"

When they reached the elevator, Shen Dehua frowned and asked.

"Xiaoxiao, it's okay!"

Shen Qiushan waved his hand, not saying anything directly, but instead took out his phone and operated it.

There was a "beep" sound.

Shen Dehua's cell phone rang.

She instinctively took it out to check, then her mouth gaped open in an "O" shape: "Brother, what's this??"

Shen Qiushan transferred three million to his sister Shen Dehua in one go. It would be strange if Shen Dehua wasn't confused when she saw that string of zeros!

"Pay off the mortgage, then replace that used Passat."

"Old Zheng has always wanted to build a house for his parents back in his hometown. If you pay for it, no one in the Zheng family will dare to bully you anymore!"

"You can decide how to use the rest of the money, but don't invest it recklessly. If you need anything, just let me know."

Shen Qiushan had long wanted to transfer some money to his sister to improve her life.

But his apparent wealth wasn't particularly large before, but now it's different. News of the film and television rights to "The Three-Body Problem" selling for 2.5 million yuan is everywhere.

Everyone knows that Shen Qiushan is a billionaire!

As for why they gave 300 million.

Shen Qiushan had calculated that the total cost of taking out a loan to buy a new car and build a house would not exceed 150 million yuan.

In other words, after resolving these issues, Shen Dehua, the younger sister, will still have over 100 million yuan in savings.

For an average family, this amount of money is enough for now.

Money is a good thing, that's for sure!
However, it is also a double-edged sword. If you suddenly become rich when you are not in a position to control your wealth, it may not be a good thing.

An American organization once conducted a survey and found that the bankruptcy rate among lottery winners in their country over the past 20 years was as high as 75%!

Five years after winning the lottery, 70% of people are worse off than before!
Domestic lottery prizes are not registered under real names, so the probability is impossible to calculate. However, there are occasional news reports of former lottery winners falling back into poverty, so the probability is probably not low.

Shen Dehua is just an ordinary housewife with limited knowledge. If Shen Qiushan were to give her ten or twenty million yuan all at once, it might end up harming her.

Solving her current financial burden and giving her a substantial amount of savings would be the best possible outcome.

"Brother, this is too much!"

"How could we possibly spend it all!"

Shen Dehua looked at her brother with tears in her eyes.

She knew that her brother Shen Qiushan made a lot of money by writing books, but she never thought of asking him for money.

Shen Dehua is a simple and traditional woman. Over the years, she has helped Shen Qiushan take care of their two children, which she considers perfectly natural.

If her own brother's child loses his mother, and she, as his aunt, doesn't help take care of him, who will?
After all, she also has the surname Shen!

"Save what you can't spend."

Just then, the elevator arrived, and Shen Qiushan stepped into it first.

"Brother, where are you going?"

Shen Dehua followed them into the elevator. Her home was downstairs, so taking the elevator down was perfectly reasonable.

But shouldn't Shen Qiushan be home so late?

"Go out for a while."

Shen Qiushan casually replied that he was going to go find his old flame.

During the long holiday, Chen Xiangyu sent him many WeChat messages, but Shen Qiushan was in Beijing and couldn't reach him from afar!

Now that I'm back, I should probably go back to my old flame and catch up on my lessons.

Before Shen Dehua could ask any more questions, she had already arrived, since it was only one floor.

"Brother, please be careful."

As they stepped out of the elevator, Shen Dehua gave them a word of advice.

The elevator doors closed, and it continued downwards.

Shen Dehua, however, did not go home immediately.

She picked up her phone again, opened the text message from the bank, and carefully counted the zeros after the 3!

There are indeed 6!
A full 300 million!!

Shen Dehua wiped away the tears of joy from the corners of his eyes. No one dislikes money.

Besides, Shen Dehua really needs money.

Since her daughter was born, she has hardly worked, and the family's expenses are supported by her husband, Zheng Yi.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi's income as a high-speed rail driver is decent enough to support his family, but in a big city like Sanjiang, he doesn't have much money left.

Moreover, Zheng Yi's parents are farmers who do not have pensions and occasionally need financial assistance from them.

Even worse, Zheng Yi's old house had leaked twice before due to its age, and was almost a dangerous building.

Repairing the problem only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

If you want to solve the problem, the best solution is to demolish and rebuild, but building a new house in the countryside is quite expensive these days, costing at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

Therefore, building a house has always been a major concern for Zheng Yi.

Shen Dehua also wanted to help her husband solve the problem, but the problem was that she really couldn't come up with the two or three hundred thousand.

Now there is money.

All problems are solved!

I calmed down my agitated emotions.

Shen Dehua returned home.

The living room was pitch black.

A tiny red light was flashing on the balcony.

Zheng Yi was standing inside smoking.

Shen Dehua walked over quickly and opened the balcony door.

"You're back. How's Xiaoxiao?"

Zheng Yi flicked the ash from his cigarette between his fingers.

"It's nothing. Xiaoxiao has been practicing sports for so many years and is in good health."

"It's okay!"

Zheng Yi nodded, then took another deep drag on his cigarette.

"Why are you smoking here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Shen Dehua asked.

"I glanced at the weather forecast while I was lying down."

"There's a downpour back home."

Zheng Yi sighed: "I wonder if the repaired roof can withstand the load."

"Let Mom and Dad go sleep at San'er's place first!"

Shen Dehua said.

“I already told San’er, but he insists that nothing’s wrong.”

“I talked to him about building a house again. We will contribute 10 yuan, and he can contribute 5 yuan. 15 yuan is about right.”

"And guess what San'er said?"

Zheng Yi shook his head and said angrily, "This kid said he doesn't even have 5000, and that his parents are too old for him to bother anymore."

"Listen to this! Is this even human language?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Dehua laughed.

"No, you can still laugh?"

Zheng Yi was speechless for a moment.

"After all these years, don't you still know what kind of person San'er is!"

"You might as well kill him than expect him to pay!"

Zheng Yi has a younger sister and a younger brother.

My younger sister married someone from another place and is struggling to make ends meet; there's no one to rely on.

His younger brother lived in the same village. When he got married, Zheng Yi and his parents pooled their money to build him a new house.

The youngest child in a family is often the most pampered, but when the children grow up, they are also the ones their parents can least rely on!
"I'll pay for the house!"

Just as Zheng Yi was sighing in frustration, Shen Dehua said boldly.

"Our savings aren't enough!"

Zheng Yi shook his head. He had calculated that even if he emptied his savings, he could only come up with 10 yuan, and the risk was extremely high. If any unexpected events occurred in the next few months, he might not have any money to deal with them.

“We’re rich now!”

"look!"

Shen Dehua handed the phone to Zheng Yi with a grin.

"what?"

Zheng Yi looked on with suspicion, but still craned his neck to look over, then his eyes widened in shock, and his breathing became rapid: "Three, three million??"

"Ok!"

"three million!"

Shen Dehua nodded smugly: "It was given to me by my brother!"

"They're all... all for us?"

Zheng Yi still found it somewhat unbelievable and stammered as he asked.

Shen Dehua smiled and gestured with his lips: "Wrong!"

"It's for me!"

"However, if you behave well later, I can not only pay for the construction of the house."

"We can even get you a different car!"

"Walk!!"

Zheng Yi picked up his wife and strode towards the bedroom.

At that moment, he felt like he had inexhaustible energy.
