Chapter 409: Chapter 409 Want Money 2

Looking at the two who really had no intention of going to eat, Zhou Siyu thought for a moment and started to suggest, "Uncle, Aunt, you two go ahead and eat first! Even if we find my sister now, it won’t help. Raising a commotion will definitely alarm the principal and teachers, and they will protect my sister. Not only will you not be able to stop her from taking the exam, but you’ll also end up embarrassed. Let’s wait until the exam is over! Once we pick my sister up and bring her home, no one will be able to say anything."

Shen Mianmian had indeed torn her face off with the family. Being locked up for another day tomorrow and not letting her take the exam nor paying the tuition fee, would make her good grades useless.

"That’s not okay," Zhou Lanfang said excitedly, suddenly standing up, "I can’t be at ease until the money is returned. She might be allowed to take the exam today, but she must hand over the money first."

Shen Jianhua’s face was grim, and he didn’t speak, but his thoughts were in line with Zhou Lanfang’s.

With so much money not returned, they all felt uneasy.

"Aunt, when my sister left, did she steal money from home?" This was the second time Zhou Lanfang brought up the issue with the money; Zhou Siyu, who hadn’t paid much attention before, now sensed something was off.

She and her aunt had always focused on different things; she was concerned about Shen Mianmian taking the exams, but her aunt seemed to be implying that it was related to the money.

When this topic came up, Zhou Lanfang’s anger rose even higher, "That damned girl had two large jars of money under her bed—there must have been one or two thousand in there, and she took it all."

Just thinking about the possibility that Shen Mianmian might spend that money made Zhou Lanfang’s heart ache.

"One or two thousand?" Zhou Siyu was shocked and speechless, "Where did my sister get so much money?"

And it was hidden under the bed, yet she had never known about it.

"Who knows where she stole it from." It might even be from some man she’s seduced, this damned girl, looking like a vixen. It’s possible that some foolish men are spending money on her.

It’s also possible that she stole it from her boss’s house.

Zhou Siyu and Zhou Lanfang found common ground on this, both suspecting that the money was indeed stolen from Shen Mianmian’s boss. But no matter what, now that the money was in Shen Mianmian’s possession, it belonged to their family, and they couldn’t let Shen Mianmian gallivant around with it.

That money could buy her a lot of new clothes and shoes, and it would be enough for university.

Zhou Siyu was thrilled, "Aunt, you and Uncle should wait here then! I’ll go buy you something to eat."

They must get the money back; it couldn’t be taken away by Shen Mianmian.

After walking for a while, Zhou Lanfang was also hungry. She wiped her sweat away and pulled out two yuan from her pocket, "Buy four buns for your uncle and me, and two bags of soda. With the remaining money, you can buy whatever you want to eat."

This was the first time Zhou Lanfang had been so generous. Once they got the money back from that bastard, their life would be comfortable; she wasn’t even concerned about these one or two yuan anymore.

Shen Jianhua felt that the money he had given Zhou Siyu was a bit too much. It wasn’t necessary to indulge a child like that in spending money, but he refrained from saying anything in front of Zhou Siyu.

In front of the child, he always projected a generous image, and he wouldn’t let two yuan ruin it.

Zhou Siyu happily took the money. She liked to eat ice pops and drink soda, but without money, she often watched others enjoy them, only occasionally getting a sip from a classmate.

So, taking the money and following Zhou Lanfang’s instructions, she bought four buns and two bags of soda, but drank three bags of soda herself and ate four meat buns in one go.
