Chapter 514: Brother 2, Jing Chen is weak!
When Uncle Shen and his three nephews rushed over, they saw Shen Xue taking off her cotton coat and giving it to Zhou Jingchen.
Shen Xue was shivering in the cold wind wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt.
Her lips were frozen purple, but she was still concerned about whether Zhou Jingchen was cold.
Uncle Shen really wanted to ask Shen Xue what was going on in her mind. They were wearing cotton-padded clothes wrapped tightly but still felt cold, but Shen Xue was frozen silly in less than half a day wearing only a thin long-sleeved shirt.
It didn't take long for Uncle Shen to feel that Shen Xue was frozen silly. If she wasn't silly, how could she be so stupid?
Shen Jiabao murmured in his heart that Zhou Jingchen was really Shen Xue's treasure. He would rather freeze himself than give his cotton-padded clothes to Zhou Jingchen.
Before Shen Xue got married, she was never so nice to their uncle and aunt.
One winter, Third Aunt's cotton-padded jacket got wet. Shen Xue had two cotton-padded jackets. Third Aunt wanted to wear Shen Xue's jacket, but Shen Xue refused to let her.
He didn't even give his own mother the extra cotton-padded clothes she wanted to wear, but now he's so sincere to Zhou Jingchen.
Shen Xue sat on the ground, feeling completely numb from the cold. She turned around and saw her father and three cousins coming. Her eyes lit up.
"Dad, big brother, second brother, third brother, you are here to help us, right?"
Uncle Shen ignored her and took his three nephews to look at the collapsed house. The structure of the four walls was still solid and the roof could be repaired in half a day.
Shen Xue thought her father would ask her to go back to her parents' home with a concerned look on his face, but her father opened his mouth and said,
"To repair the roof, we need to buy beams. Give me the money and I'll go buy the beams."
Shen Xue couldn't believe it. "Dad, I'm your daughter. Your daughter is almost frozen to death. You're still talking to me about money. Do you have any heart?"
"You're frozen. I've told you so many times to call me uncle! We're from the same village.
I can help you fix the roof, but you can't ask me to pay for it, or your aunt will quarrel with me."
"No money!"
Uncle Shen turned around and was about to leave, "If we don't have money, then we'll go back."
Zhou Jingchen knew that the Shen family were cold-blooded people, and they were willing to watch Shen Xue freeze to death.
It doesn’t matter if Shen Xue freezes to death, but he, Zhou Jingchen, cannot be frozen, as he still has a bright future ahead of him.
"Wait, I'll give you the money." The Shen family would definitely not agree to them living in the Shen family. If the roof was not repaired, they would have nowhere to stay tonight.
I feel cold now, and I can’t stand it at night.
Shen Xue wanted to say that she didn't need to take the money, but when she met her father's cold eyes, Shen Xue shrank her neck and shut up.
Zhou Jingchen was afraid that Shen Xue would steal his money, so he sewed the money into his underwear and could take it out easily.
When Daya ran out, Zhou Jin pulled her back. She had an injury on her leg.
Shen Xue and Zhou Jingchen didn't take it seriously. Uncle Shen saw her hiding in a corner and went over to see that her leg was injured.
"Zhou Jingchen, your daughter is injured."
"Dad, why do you care about a little girl? She's injured, so what? She'll be fine in a few days.
Your daughter is almost frozen into a fool, go home and get me a cotton coat."
Uncle Shen ignored her and picked up Daya. "I'll take her to the village doctor."
Shen Jiabao and his friends went to buy roof beams. The brigade has beams. If anyone doesn't have enough beams, they can come to the team to buy some.
If you want to build a house, you can go up the mountain and chop wood yourself. This way you don’t have to spend money, but it will take some effort.
It's snowing now, so it's impossible to go up the mountain to cut wood. It's not their house.
Zhou Jingchen gave the money, and the three brothers Shen Jiabao went to carry the beams over. Zhou Jingchen sat on the ground and did not intend to do anything, which made Shen Jiawei angry.
"Zhou Jingchen, this is your house, why don't you do some work?"
Zhou Jingchen moved his butt, "I don't have the strength!"
"You don't have the strength, but we do. It's your family's turn?"
As they are from the same village, they come to help with the work, but if they have this attitude,
Shen Jiawei didn't want to do this anymore. Wouldn't it be nice for them to eat hotpot at home at this time?
Shen Xue complained in her heart that her three cousins were too fussy. They were so strong, so what was wrong with doing some work? Why did they have to drag her Jing Chen to do it together?
"Second brother, Jingchen is weak!"
"Weak? How dare you say he's weak when he's a grown man?"
Shen Xue always says she is too weak to work.
Seeing that Shen Jiawei was determined to get him to work, Zhou Jingchen got up reluctantly.
"If nothing else works, I can still help out."
"Help? This is your family's business, you say help?"
"I said the wrong thing. This is what I should do. Thank you for coming to help me."
The roof collapsed, and the collapsed area needed to be cleaned. Zhou Jingchen shoveled the snow silently.
With Shen Xue around, Zhou Jingchen would usually be lazy whenever possible and rarely did any hard work.
If you ask him to shovel snow now, he will feel physically and mentally exhausted after just a few strokes, and his hands are so tired that he can't even lift them.
He wanted to quit, so the three brothers of the Shen family also put down their work and took a break with him.
Anyway, it’s not their roof that collapsed, so they are not in a hurry!
Zhou Jingchen: "..."
Zhou Jingchen had no choice but to continue with his work.
Shen Xue was so cold that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to Aunt Yun Gui's house next door to warm herself by the fire.
Aunt Yungui's family didn't like Shen Xue very much. Seeing how thin she was wearing,
I didn't chase her out. It would be bad if she got frozen outside in such a cold day. After all, I have watched this girl grow up.
Shen Xue came to Aunt Yun Gui's house without any courtesy and ate the snacks of her grandson.
She took the other person's granddaughter's hairband, and complained that the roasted sweet potatoes in the stove were too small, so she asked Aunt Yungui to put a few more big sweet potatoes in to roast.
Aunt Yun Gui really endured it again and again, "Shen Xue, this is my home, not yours, I don't want to leave."
Shen Xue remained silent. They were all cold-hearted and cold-blooded, but her Jing Chen was the best.
They had only been working for a while when it got dark. The roof wouldn't be repaired until tomorrow, so the three Shen Jiabao brothers clapped their hands and left.
Zhou Jingchen chased after them, "Why did you leave? My roof hasn't been repaired yet. Where are we staying tonight?"
"You can live wherever you like."
The house is not repaired yet, so we can't stay here tonight. Zhou Jingchen called Shen Xue out, "Xiaoxue, the house is not repaired yet, where are we going to stay tonight?"
Shen Xue didn't know where to live. Her mother's family wouldn't let them go back. If they went, she would be scolded by her mother in a sarcastic manner. Shen Xue didn't want to go back and endure this.
She looked at Aunt Yun Gui, "Aunt, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. Can I..."
Aunt Yun Gui refused bluntly, "No!"
Shen Xue came over and stayed for a while. She ate all her grandson's snacks. She also took her granddaughter's hairband and complained that the sweet potatoes were too small to eat.
If she were to stay at their house, wouldn't they provide her with food and drink?
We are from the same village, so it doesn't matter if we eat a meal or stay overnight.
But this girl is not satisfied, and Zhou Jingchen is not a grateful person either. What should they do if they let them stay in their house for one night?
