And these people who were standing here now, using the guise of relatives and friends to take advantage of Mr. Shen, swarmed around him like flies and were extremely attentive.
But none of them had helped Mr. Shen when he was in trouble. Their hatred of the rich and their ugly faces were incisively and incisively displayed. After knowing that Mr. Shen had gone bankrupt, they would celebrate with great fanfare and set off firecrackers!
"Tang Tang, take Xixi home first!" Shen Changqing looked at his niece with a loving smile.
He liked this niece very much. His niece and his daughter had a good relationship, as if they were the same person. However, it was a pity that their good girl suddenly lost her sight when she was 14 years old. They went to all the hospitals that could be visited and did countless examinations, but they could not find the cause of her illness and could not cure it.
Shen Tang pulled Shen Xi and smiled sweetly. "Let's go."
The last time Second Uncle came back to pay respects to the ancestors, Xixi had to make up for lessons at the last minute and could not come back. She felt regretful in her heart. Second Aunt asked her to go to the capital with them, but she was afraid that a blind person like her would cause trouble for them.
The group of people who joined in the fun looked at Shen Tang with different expressions. Some were sympathetic, some were disdainful, and some were disdainful. A few women not far away started to talk about it.
"How many blind dates did she go on this year's New Year?"
"She hasn't stopped since December. I saw a few of them coming one after another."
"Is there no one she likes?"
"She has high standards. She has such a rich uncle and such a powerful sister. She has to be picky!"
"She's a blind person. How can she be picky? If others don't pick her, she should be thanking the gods!"
…
Shen Xi, who had just walked to the door, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were like a cold blade as she looked at the group of gossipy women with a dangerous warning. She let go of Shen Tang's hand.
The women who were talking felt a chill down their spines and their scalps went numb instantly. In an instant, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat. They looked around guiltily and found that Shen Xi was looking at them coldly. They were so scared that they shut their mouths.
"Xixi." Since Shen Tang became blind, his hearing became better and better. Naturally, he heard the gossip. He held her hand and smiled bitterly. "Let's go home. Don't listen."
What was the point of listening to those words? If they love, let them be.
Shen Xi really wanted to cut off their tongues and let them know the consequences of gossiping.
Shen Tang pulled Shen Xi away.
Seeing them leave, the group of gossipy women snorted in disdain. Not long after, they started chatting again.
It was a pity that such a beautiful girl was blind.
She was blind, so she should have some self-awareness. Unfortunately, she had high standards. She didn't like boys from ordinary families. She had arranged so many blind dates, but none of them succeeded. Did she want to marry a god?
Shen Xi and Shen Tang had a good relationship. They were the only two girls in the family. Shen Tang was five years older than her. She taught her how to walk, sing, dance, and draw. They were inseparable.
However, after Shen Tang became blind, she suffered a great blow. She became more quiet and introverted. She didn't go out much. The relationship between the two sisters had always been good.
Later, Shen Xi went to Beijing to learn how to dance. After that, she went back to the Family Su. They never saw each other again.
Shen Xi knew about her fate after reading about it in the book.
There were no Spring Festival couplets at home. Shen Changqing and Yun Jinping had done so in advance. When they got home, Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan were in charge of writing the couplets.
Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan became tools for writing the couplets.
Shen Feng and Shen Tang helped from the side.
Shen Tang couldn't see, but she was clever and could do anything. After trying to cut paper with a ruler twice, she quickly became familiar with it.
"Oh, the great dancer is writing the Spring Festival couplets!"
"Come, come, the daughter of the Shen family is writing the Spring Festival couplets. Her handwriting is so beautiful."
"It's even better than the ones I bought. Changqing, let Xixi write a Spring Festival couplet for each of us!"
Someone passed by the Shen family's house and saw Shen Xi and the others writing the Spring Festival couplets. He didn't know whose idea it was, but all the neighbors gathered around and asked for the couplets.
Shen Changqing had a good temper. He felt sorry for his daughter, but he couldn't refuse because they were all neighbors. "Xixi, write a Spring Festival couplet for each of the uncles to celebrate."
Shen Xi nodded and looked at Fu Qingxuan. She said calmly, "If you don't want to write, you can go back and rest."
She didn't care about her hometown and directly scolded them and told them to get lost. However, she couldn't forget about her parents. Even if it was for them, she had to write the Spring Festival couplets.
Fu Qingxuan said, "I'll write."
However, the people who gathered around and asked for the Spring Festival couplets didn't want anything unless Shen Xi wrote it. They only wanted her to write it.
She continued writing until the evening. She wrote a lot of Spring Festival couplets, and more and more people came to ask for them. They almost broke the threshold.
Shen Changqing was a person who cherished old friendships. He thought that they were all from the same hometown, so he put a few tables in the yard and served them with good food and drinks.
However, this bunch of skirts took his kindness for granted. Rather than asking for the Spring Festival couplets, they might as well ask for more after they finished eating. They really treated this place as their own home.
Shen Xi's hands were cramping as she wrote.
Fu Qingxuan looked at her with heartache and almost went berserk. Neighbors? He knew who they were. They were here to ask for auspicious celebrations, but they looked more like debt collectors.
Shen Changqing's heart ached for his daughter. He looked at the people standing in the yard and blocking the door. He didn't know where many of them came from, but he still said politely, "Dear neighbors, I'm sorry. It's already so late, so I won't be writing today. My daughter is also tired. Please be understanding."
"You have already written for others. Why can't you write for us?"
"That's right. It's just writing a few words. How tired can it be? We came all the way here and waited for so long. I think you just don't want to give us the couplets! "
"Shen Changqing, you are rich and your daughter is successful. You just look down on poor people like us!"
Someone took the lead to make a fuss. It was as if they had eaten gunpowder. They were unhappy when they heard that they couldn't get the Spring Festival couplets.
Shen Changqing didn't want to offend his hometown, but he was annoyed when he heard their harsh words. "My daughter only has a pair of hands. How can she write so many words? If you want more, you can ask Feng and the others to write for you. If you don't want it, please leave."
"That won't do. We want the words written by the dancer."
"What's with your attitude? We are all from the same village. If others can have it, can't we?"
"Yes, the words written by the dancer can be pasted on the door of my house. Who knows, maybe there will be a dancer in my house."
The law couldn't punish the majority. With someone taking the lead, the rest of the people became confident even if they felt guilty. They were obviously acting shamelessly and showed their greedy and ugly faces. They wouldn't leave if they didn't give them the couplets.
Fu Qingxuan was angry. He clenched his fists. His long and narrow eyes were burning with anger. What kind of people were they? It was true that unruly people came from barren hills and turbulent rivers.
Shen Xi's eyes were cold and murderous. He slowly put down the pen in his hand, looked up, and was about to say something.
Shen Tang, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke. His clear voice was pleasant to the ears. "The person who cut the couplets is blind. If you put it on the door, aren't you afraid that there will be a blind person in your house?"
