Chapter 969 You Are Not as Good as the Original Wife
Therefore, she had no recollection of when these two sets of furniture were purchased or when they were placed in her room.
But the old lady wasn't one to hide good things away.
She felt that the jewelry she was wearing matched her cheongsam perfectly, so she wore it.
Similarly, she felt that the ruby was a better match for her granddaughter, so she gave it to her without hesitation.
Shen Lu hugged the old lady's arm and rested her head on her shoulder: "My great-grandfather is such a good person!"
“Your great-grandfather didn’t know you existed; you should say he was a good father.”
Grandma Shen looked smug, but her eyes also held a sense of nostalgia and reverence for her father.
"Yes, yes, yes, great-grandfather is so good to you."
"I wonder if my dad is that good."
Shen Lu was just saying it casually, but the old lady thought of her granddaughter who had never met her father.
She also sighed for her son: "Your father loves you very much too."
"LuLu, never underestimate the love parents have for their children."
"When your mother confirmed her pregnancy, your father was overjoyed and didn't sleep all night, doing carpentry in the yard."
When Mrs. Shen mentioned her son, a smile appeared on her face: "He has always been a very thoughtful child. He said that learning carpentry can help one cultivate one's character."
"The little rocking horse in the yard was started the night I found out about you."
"He made a lot of wooden toys to welcome your birth."
Shen Sisi had played with those things when she was little, so Grandma Shen didn't plan to give them to her granddaughter.
However, Shuqiu's feelings must be known to his granddaughter.
"Grandma just wants to tell you that there is absolutely no one in this world who loves you more than your parents."
"As for whether your father will surpass your great-grandfather, I don't know."
The old lady's smile grew even brighter.
Shen Lu understood; at least in her grandmother's heart, there was no better father than her great-grandfather.
That was a man who truly cherished his daughter.
He believed from the bottom of his heart that his daughter deserved any treasure in the world.
Therefore, he was willing to give his jewelry to his daughter as toys.
Shen Lu felt that her father was no match for her great-grandfather.
After all, the toys her father prepared for her were all made of wood, while the toys her great-grandfather prepared for her grandmother when she was a child were said to be jewels.
He even tossed bags of diamonds to his daughter to play with like marbles.
Shen Lu sighed, saying that her grandmother, who had been raised in such a lavish manner, had basically never suffered any hardship in her life.
Perhaps the only thing that caused her dissatisfaction was men.
However, judging from the old lady's appearance, she was not troubled by her emotions.
She is living a very comfortable life now.
Even those who have men might not be as good as her.
Let's just consider it as the father leaving behind the son.
"Grandma, since there are so many treasures in your house, will it be stolen if we just leave like this?"
Although there are surveillance cameras everywhere now and thieves aren't as brazen, what if you run into someone who doesn't know their place?
Grandma Shen glanced at her granddaughter and asked, "Guess who lives in the two houses on either side of this alley?"
who?
Shen Lu didn't ask, because she quickly realized what was going on.
"Are they all from our family?"
She hadn't really asked around, she only knew that every time she came over, the old lady from the house on the left was very welcoming to her.
The young man living on the right is said to run a martial arts school, and he often has young men coming to his place, all of whom are very nice.
“The one on the left is of the same generation as me, and you also call her Grandma. Her whole family has moved out, and now they run a pawnshop nearby.”
"The family on the right used to have elders who were instructors at a training camp, and now their son has taken over the business."
Opening a martial arts school was merely a cover for his true identity.
Shen Lu's expression could no longer be described as shock; it was more like utter awe.
"Has this entire alley been taken over by our Shenjia Village?"
How exactly did my great-grandfather manage to do that?
No wonder Shenjia Village kept a low profile during that special era.
You have to keep a low profile.
"There are six households." Not all of them are surnamed Shen; some take their mother's surname.
These six households were not only the guardians of the courtyard, but also the attendants that the old master had arranged when he entered the capital.
The Shen family excels at cultivating talent, and their motto is that one must read books, for reading makes one wise.
Therefore, even those who come from Shenjia Village can become elites in various industries.
Lu Xingye, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was startled by the old lady's words.
There are six households in this alley that are surnamed Shen. So what's the difference between that and the entire alley being surnamed Shen?
No one who walks into the alley can escape the eyes of the Shen family.
In earlier years, was that old master involved in underground work?
To be honest, Shen Lu and Lu Xingye were thinking the same thing.
She didn't verify it with Old Mrs. Shen.
The fact that the Shen family was able to conceal such a large fortune suggests that they were inextricably linked to official forces.
The old master must have done an excellent job with his underground work back then.
Because the Shen family is very good at using people and they also place their own people in various positions.
"My great-grandfather was a divine being!"
Grandma Shen smiled without saying a word: Who can say otherwise?
"Aren't there any traitors in the Shen family?" Shen Lu asked, even more curious.
What if someone gets greedy and covets the chieftain's property?
Grandma Shen glanced at her granddaughter and said, "You'll understand when you become the clan leader."
The Shen family will not have traitors because they are never short of money, and therefore will never be greedy.
Even if they don't live as well as the clan leader, without the clan leader's leadership, the rest of the Shen family wouldn't be living so well.
How can this be considered betrayal?
Don't be fooled by people like Shen Qi and Shen Jiu, who were selected for the training camp but ended up as bodyguards for the young clan leader afterward.
But they are not short of money.
Every child born in Shenjia Village receives dividends from a young age.
The village covers all the expenses for their schooling, so they have money but can't spend it all.
Of course, not all of the Shen family's children are good.
Some went astray, but they were severely disciplined.
No one wanted to know how ruthless the Shen family was in dealing with traitors.
Throughout the conversation, all the way to the plane, Shen Lu was trying to distract the old lady.
Let her stop thinking about David, and who is behind David.
After Shen Lu and the others left, David wandered around the house several times and took many photos.
He didn't realize that someone was watching him while he was taking pictures.
Different locations attract different people.
It might be two or three children playing at the alley entrance, an elderly person setting up a stall, or an old lady doing handicrafts at home.
Even after he left the alley, eyes were still following him.
David returned to the hotel and made an international call.
The person who answered the phone was an elderly woman from the United States with a distinct accent.
“Darling, I’ve arrived at the place he mentioned.”
"I met a lovely young lady and a beautiful lady."
"Now I finally understand why they haven't given in all these years."
You are far inferior to someone else's first wife!
Brat!
The person on the other end of the phone was cursing and then hung up!
