Chapter 685 He Broke the Defense

"You are jealous of my father, so you refuse to acknowledge his excellence."

"You always think that my father came from a remote mountain village and should be worse off than you."

"Shen Shuqiu deserves to be stepped on by you. How can he be better than you and find the daughter of the richest man in the imperial capital?"

"Lin Yijing, you are narrow-minded and dirty. People like you are like rats in the gutter."

"As for my father, is he really poor? Or do you think that people from the countryside should be poorer than you?"

Shen Lu's series of sarcastic questions made Lin Yijing very uncomfortable.

The question "Is Shen Shuqiu really poor?" touched Lin Yijing's heart.

Yes, is Shen Shuqiu really poor?

He recalled that when he first learned about the course he was teaching, the top-ranked student came from a remote mountain village. He was certain that Shen Shuqiu's family was even poorer than his!

Later, when he saw that Shen Shuqiu was still wearing clothes that had turned white after being washed, he became more certain of his guess.

But if you think about it carefully, although the clothes on Shen Shuqiu are not very fashionable, there is not a single patch on them, and although they look old-fashioned, the fabric is good.

The cotton-padded jacket that Shen Shuqiu wears in winter also looks thick.

There's more than one!

Unlike him, he only had two cotton-padded jackets to alternate between, and one of them was so thin that the cotton was clumps together.

When we went to the cafeteria, it seemed that Shen Shuqiu was not so poor that he could only eat a steamed bun and drink boiled water.

Although he also brought that kind of pickled vegetables to the cafeteria, there were still many people who asked Shen Shuqiu for some.

Some people even exchange meat and vegetables for it.

At that time, Lin Yijing just thought that Shen Shuqiu was a cunning person, exchanging his own homemade pickles for meat.

He would do anything to get a piece of meat.

But what if the situation is the opposite, and someone wants to eat his pickles and would rather exchange them for meat?

Thinking carefully, he discovered that Shen Shuqiu was not as poor as he thought.

Whenever the school required payment of any fees, Shen Shuqiu never delayed.

"Sure enough, my father never said that his family was in financial difficulty, right?"

"This is all just your conjecture."

Shen Lu's words made Lin Yijing very unhappy.

But more of it was self-doubt.

If Shen Shuqiu's lack of money was just his conjecture, then what was the real situation?

The next second, Shen Lu hit him: "In fact, my grandmother's dowry house is worth hundreds of millions."

"Impossible!" Lin Yijing didn't believe it at all.

“He comes from a remote mountain village!”

Seeing that he was stubborn, Shen Lu simply said, "Then you haven't heard that there are also local rich people in remote mountain villages."

Lin Yijing was stunned, then he thought of something.

"Impossible, how is it possible?"

Yes, if you were a local rich man, you should have kept a low profile when studying in that era.

After all, they had experienced that special decade.

What if there are any changes in policies and guidelines, and these people are targeted again?

"So that's it! So that's it!" Lin Yijing's defense was really broken.

He always thought that Shen Shuqiu was very poor, so the fact that he was not moved by money made him feel as if he and Shen Shuqiu had become a control group.

The other party was a poor boy, but he caught up with the beautiful, rich and white lady, which made him so jealous that he was blinded by jealousy.

This stimulated him to want to become a superior person.

But fundamentally speaking, they are actually a good match, right?

So what is he jealous of?

What's unbalanced?

"Don't let your defenses break down. It's not your fault that you're not as rich as my parents."

"After all, most people in this world are not as rich as them."

Shen Lu's words were like adding fuel to the fire.

"So what if they have money? They made the wrong choice, so there is no news at all now."

"Perhaps they have already died, or they may have surrendered to the enemy."

Lin Yijing quickly calmed down and provoked Shen Lu again.

Shen Lu rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think my parents are you?"

"No news. Maybe they are doing something big somewhere."

"Only people like you will die young."

"As for surrendering to the enemy, do you think that other person is you?"

"You were moved by the little things of the Sakura Country. Maybe someone in your family died under the bayonets of the Sakura Country."

"Are you worthy of your ancestors?"

I don't know what Lin Yijing heard that made his expression change.

He was silent for a moment.

Indeed, Lin Yijing's father died at the hands of the Sakura people.

He was just a poor and innocent villager who refused to bring the Sakura people into the village and was killed.

Lin Yijing was raised by his mother since childhood.

There are many brothers and sisters in the family, and life is very hard.

He has been afraid of poverty since he was a child.

Even though he has a grudge against the Sakura Country, Lin Yijing still wants to live a good life.

So what if I’m sorry to our ancestors?

He believed that his ancestors could understand him.

If you can’t even feed and clothe yourself, how can you talk about respecting your ancestors?

He couldn't bear to see Shen Lu's smug look, so he smiled and said, "Do you think that only people from Sakura Country had contact with them back then?"

Shen Lu's expression remained unchanged: "The fact that you are impressed by the Sakura Country shows that other countries haven't contributed enough."

"Then what makes you think my parents would be impressed by other countries?"

Lin Yijing sneered: "That's because you don't know that all countries used endless means back then."

"Let's not talk about other countries, just look at the United States. They will do anything to get geniuses."

"If you can't get it, you can destroy it."

"There's still no news about your parents, right?"

People who have been keeping an eye on the Sheng family over the years have always said that there is no news about Sheng Mingzhu.

At the Shen family's side, there was only an old lady with a child.

The person who had been observing and watching from the Sakura Country was Shen Sisi.

But Shen Sisi had never shown any special talent since she was a child, so the Sakura Country gave up on her.

The people who were following him might become lax because of this.

What they didn't know was that what Old Lady Shen had been creating to the outside world was a false impression.

Shenjia Village is controlled by the old lady, so even if someone wants to enter the village, they cannot.

The most they know is the village next door.

It is difficult to get news about Shenjia Village.

However, you can find out information about Shen Sisi at school.

But Shen Sisi gives people a very ordinary feeling, and in the eyes of the Sakura people, she is not worthy of attention at all.

Later, Shen Lu and Shen Sisi exchanged identities, and she came into contact with the Sheng family in the imperial capital, which once again attracted the attention of the Sakura Country spies.

Shen Lu basically figured out from Lin Yijing that Shen Shuqiu and Sheng Mingzhu were not in the hands of the Sakura people.

She was actually relieved.

As for Meiguo...

Although the Plum Country has also trained a lot of spies, they are actually not as powerful as the Sakura Country's spies.

After all, people have different skin colors and ethnicities, so if they want to train spies, they can basically only choose Chinese.

However, the people of Sakura Country can send their children to China for education from an early age.

This is different.

However, although I don't want to believe that Shen Shuqiu and Sheng Mingzhu were captured by Meiguo, I can't rule out this possibility now.

"Besides you, who else contacted my parents at that time?"

Shen Lu stared at Lin Yijing and asked.
