Chapter 405: Chapter 405: I’ll Pick Her Up to The City in The Afternoon

"How was I to know?" Zhou Lanfang gritted her teeth and said, "I even thought you had given it to her, otherwise I wouldn’t have made a fuss with you."

Now it seemed that her husband really didn’t know about the money.

After a thought, she sneered, "Maybe that money came from selling her body."

Shen Jianhua found Zhou Lanfang’s words too offensive and glared at her directly.

Zhou Lanfang realized she had misspoken and quickly pointed towards the door and the axe on the ground to change the subject, "Look, she hacked at the door with this axe. She even tried to chop me to death. At the time, I was worried she’d passed out in anger, so I lay against the door to listen for any noise, and then she almost chopped through the door and split my head open with her axe. This is not how you raise a daughter, it’s like she came to claim a life debt."

Seeing the door covered in axe marks, Shen Jianhua’s expression turned ugly.

In his opinion, children should listen to their parents. A little rebellion once in a while wasn’t a big deal, but when it escalated to destroying the home, that was going too far.

Had he spoiled her too much?

And when he thought about the money she had taken, he couldn’t stay put any longer.

"Let’s go, let’s find her at school."

"What’s the rush?" After all the commotion that morning, Zhou Lanfang felt tired and not so urgent anymore, "She’s taking exams; she won’t be out so soon. Let’s tidy up the house, have lunch, and wait for her at the door slowly."

With her husband on her side, was there still any worry they couldn’t deal with that wild girl?

Zhou Lanfang suddenly felt that the slap she received was well worth it.

...

He Nan had delivered the tea leaves to the Zhao Family. Zhao Xianlai hadn’t returned yet, and Li Chunhua shared the news about the fight with Zhou Lanfang with He Nan, ending with some worry in her voice.

"With Mianmian at odds with her family like this, how’s she going to live at home in the future?"

In the past, Shen Jianhua would at least superficially protect Mianmian, but judging from today’s events, Shen Jianhua must have been involved as well. It was too hard for a young girl to live in such a family.

"The Shen Family is no place for her. I’ll take her to live in the city this afternoon," He Nan said calmly, lips pursed, without feeling there was anything wrong with his decision.

"What?" Li Chunhua was momentarily stunned, "But Jianhua and his wife probably won’t agree, right?"

He Nan was indeed good to Mianmian, but normally buying her some food, clothes, or even giving her money was fine. However, bringing her to the city was different.

She and her husband understood He Nan’s character and wouldn’t think too much into it, but others might.

After all, the two of them were not related by blood, and Mianmian’s parents were still alive; although not her biological parents, they were her adoptive parents.

He Nan frowned slightly, "She’s sixteen, she has the right to make her own decisions." Given the current situation, she couldn’t continue living with the Shen Family, nor would she want to.

"..."

Seeing He Nan’s determined attitude, Li Chunhua didn’t know what else to say. She thought to herself that she would discuss it with her husband once he returned, as he was more thorough in thinking things through.

After a moment, she couldn’t help but ask, "The money Mianmian took today, was it from you?"

She had thought it through carefully and felt that was the most likely possibility. The money was He Nan’s, and he could give it to whomever he wanted; she had no objections to that. But she felt that for such a young girl to take so much money wasn’t a good thing.

When they got back today, the Shen couple would surely devise ways to take the money back.

"She earned it herself by running a small business. Although young, she’s clever and has a head for business," He Nan said, his expression softening as he spoke of Shen Mianmian’s business ventures.

Li Chunhua wasn’t one to gossip, and after witnessing Shen Mianmian with her own money jar, He Nan didn’t want her to worry unnecessarily, which was why he didn’t keep it from her.
